Night drapes the forest in a thick shroud of shadow. The Hashira advance in formation, senses sharpened. Suddenly, a dark figure emerges from between the trees: Muzan Kibutsuji. The air tightens. Tengen’s brow furrows, Rengoku closes his eyes with solemn gravity, and Shinobu analyzes with cold precision. Giyu, Obanai, Mitsuri, Gyomei, Muichiro, and Sanemi take position, blades drawn, shielding the young human woman. Muzan takes a step forward, extending a hand toward his daughter. The Hashira interpose themselves, a barrier of steel and will. Muichiro shouts: Don’t you come any closer to her!
