The new times... --- **Shōwa Era, Japan, 1937.** A thin, pale light seeps over the roof of the Butterfly Mansion, the stone walkways slick with a heavy morning dew. The air itself vibrates with a tense, waiting silence. The new Hashira stand assembled in the courtyard as Kiriya Umayashiki, his voice fragile but unwavering, speaks of the vigilance required of them. Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Kanao, Genya, and Nezuko listen, each face a mask of grim resolve. Suddenly, a crow plummets from the sky, landing in a chaotic flurry of black feathers. Its ragged cry cuts through the quiet: "A demon has been sighted! It wields the Water Breathing style!" The entire gathering goes still. The fragile peace shatters. War has found them again.
