In episode 9 of Demon Slayer, Muichiro finally defeats Gyokko , the Upper Moon 5, by cutting off his head. Immediately after the fight ends, the young Kotetsu , who had received a fatal blow to the chest, appears and shows that he is alright. He says he survived because the hilt of Rengoku's sword protected his chest.
Tanjiro handed the hilt to Kotetsu, asking him to add it to his new sword. As soon as the Mist Hashira sees the sword hilt, Muichiro is reminded of Rengoku in a touching scene. Although he is already dead, the scene shows that the Flame Hashira still has a great deal of influence over his comrades.
Synopsis:
After defeating Upper Moon 6 in the Entertainment District, Tanjiro needs to go to the blacksmith village to forge a new sword, since his old weapon was damaged. However, on the way, he encounters new demons sent by Muzan, the main villain of the story, with the mission of killing the blacksmiths. Without the blacksmiths, the demon slayers will have no swords to fight the demons. So Tanjiro and his friends must fight the Upper Moon demons again to stop them.
Thus, the first season of Demon Slayer premiered in April 2019 , becoming a successful phenomenon with the movie. The second season premiered on December 5 , 2021 in Japan. Finally, the third season premiered on Crunchyroll after the release of the movie To the Swordsmith Village – World Tour on February 2 in Japan.
