Tanjiro is brought before the Hashira and put on trial for traveling with his demon sister Nezuko. Tanjiro tries to explain his situation, but the Hashira do not accept it. All except for Giyu, who also broke the rules by protecting Nezuko. The Wind Hashira refutes Tanjiro the most and even harms Nezuko for being a Demon.
The Master of the Mansion, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, arrives and asks the Hashira to pardon the Kamado siblings. A letter was sent from Sakonji explaining the situation and asking for the Demon Slayer Corps to look past this. The Hashira still outright refuse and Sanemi tries to prove Nezuko is an evil Demon by baiting her with his own blood. However, Nezuko refuses despite her injuries and proves she won't harm humans.
Rehabilitation training.
Following the conclusion of the trial, Shinobu brings Tanjiro and Nezuko to the Butterfly Mansion, where Zenitsu and Inosuke are also healing their wounds. The Hashira commence their council with Master Kagaya while the other Demon Slayers heal. After their injuries are sufficiently healed, Tanjiro and the boys endure Rehabilitation Training under the tutelage of Aoi and Kanao.
Tanjiro also learns about Shinobu's past with a Demon who killed her sister. Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke struggle with training at first, unable to beat Kanao in any form or capacity. Eventually, the boys regain their stamina and master Total Concentration: Constant, the ability to use the Breathing Technique all day and night long.
With their training complete, Tanjiro's group heads west to join the Flame Hashira for the train mission. Meanwhile, Muzan dismantles the Lower Ranks and continues his schemes to crush the Demon Slayer Corps.
