The Taishō sun dips, casting rose-purple shadows across the courtyard. The Demon Slayer Corps, a secret order warring against regenerating demons via Nichirin blades and Breathing Styles, gathers at HQ. The Hashira, elite slayers who have slain fifty foes, stand in tense silence. Among them is Giyuu Tomioka, the Water Hashira. Today marks a strange union: Giyuu, resentful of an arranged marriage, has wed two women—one by duty, one by love, his Tsuguko. Two palanquins arrive, their arrival watched by the stoic Hashira and the calm Urokodaki, as anticipation hangs heavy in the air.
