Ep 11. Tsuzumi Mansion

Tanjiro and Nezuko continue their journey towards Mount Natagumo, but first, they decide to make a stop at Tsuzumi Mansion where they meet a young woman named Makomo and her companion, Sabito. They are both swordsmen who have previously trained under the same mentor as Tanjiro and his late father, and they welcome the siblings with open arms.

Makomo and Sabito agree to train Tanjiro in order to help him improve his fighting skills. They introduce him to a special breathing technique which he must master in order to become a top-tier Demon Slayer. The technique is not easy to learn, but Tanjiro is determined to master it because it will make him stronger and help him protect his sister.

As Tanjiro trains, Nezuko spends her day in the garden of Tsuzumi Mansion. She meets a little girl who, at first, is afraid of her demonic appearance. However, Nezuko manages to win her over with her compassion and kindness. The two spend the day together, and Nezuko even helps the girl take care of her garden.

Suddenly, a group of demons attack Tsuzumi Mansion, and the swordsmen reveal their true identities as ghosts who died while trying to defend their home from demons. Makomo and Sabito ask Tanjiro to protect Nezuko while they fight against the demons. Tanjiro agrees and tries to find a secure place to hide his sister. However, the demons are too strong and quickly start to overwhelm the swordsmen.

Despite being new to the art of swordsmanship, Tanjiro decides to join the fight to protect his new friends. He uses the breathing technique he learned earlier and unleashes a powerful attack that destroys one of the demons. However, he soon realizes that he can’t keep up with the other two demons who are much stronger than the first one.

The situation grows dire as the swordsmen are unable to hold off the demons, and Tanjiro starts to feel his energy fade. However, he remembers the words of his father, who told him that he must never give up and to always protect those he loves. Empowered by those words, Tanjiro summons all his strength and unleashes a powerful attack that manages to defeat the remaining demons.

The fight is over, and Makomo and Sabito thank Tanjiro for his help. They also congratulate him on his progress, praising him for his hard work and determination. Tanjiro realizes that he still has much to learn, but he feels motivated to continue his journey and become stronger.

As they bid farewell to their new friends, Tanjiro and Nezuko continue their journey towards Mount Natagumo, confident in their abilities and ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.
