(Sub) Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui is the first episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Entertainment District Arc season 1. This episode follows the story of a young Demon Slayer named Tanjiro Kamado, who along with his sister, Nezuko, goes on a mission to investigate a series of disappearances in the Entertainment District.
The episode begins with Tanjiro and Nezuko arriving in the Entertainment District to find out why people are disappearing. Walking through the bustling streets, they notice the many temptations of the district, such as food, entertainment, and women. However, Tanjiro keeps his focus on the task at hand as they continue their mission.
As they make their way deeper into the district, they encounter the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui. He is a flamboyant and loud personality, covered in tattoos and sporting a pompadour hairstyle. Tengen is initially taken aback by Tanjiro's youth but quickly realizes that he is a talented and determined Demon Slayer.
Tengen explains to Tanjiro and Nezuko that the disappearances in the district are most likely the work of a demon. He offers to help them in their investigation but warns them that it will be a challenging task.
Tengen takes them to a nearby estate owned by a wealthy family who had recently lost their daughter. There they meet the head of the family, who tells them that his daughter had disappeared while attending a traditional coming-of-age ceremony. The family had hired a local psychic to investigate the disappearance, but she was unable to find any clues.
Upon investigating the area of the disappearance, Tanjiro and Nezuko find a strange and overwhelming odor. They realize that it is the odor of a demon, indicating that the family's daughter had been taken by one. Tengen confirms their suspicion and informs them that the demon must be powerful to have taken someone in such a public area.
With their mission now clear, Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Tengen set out to track down the demon in the Entertainment District. But the demon proves elusive, moving quickly and leaving no trace behind. Tanjiro and Tengen use their exceptional senses to try and locate the demon, but it seems to be one step ahead of them at every turn.
As they continue their search, Tanjiro and Tengen gradually develop a closer bond. Tengen reflects on his own journey as a Demon Slayer and expresses his admiration for Tanjiro's determination to protect his sister. Tanjiro, in turn, is grateful for Tengen's guidance and support, and the two work together seamlessly in their mission.
Eventually, they receive a break in the case when they encounter a group of women who have been turned into demons. Tanjiro and Tengen realize that the demon responsible for the disappearance must have been using them as a cover, manipulating their senses to make them appear human.
Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Tengen engage the demon in a fierce battle, using their unique abilities to try and gain the upper hand. In the end, they are able to defeat the demon, but not without difficulty. The battle takes a toll on them physically and emotionally, as they come face to face with the brutality of the demon world.
As the episode concludes, Tanjiro and Tengen part ways, but with a newfound respect for each other. Tanjiro continues his mission, more determined than ever to protect his sister and eliminate the threat of demons from the world.
