Demon Slayer: Final Selection

Akihabara News (Tokyo) — In the fourth episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tanjiro completes his training and heads to the “final selection” process.

At the beginning of the episode, trainer Sakonji Urokodaki tells Tanjiro that he had hoped he would never be able to cleave the boulder because he did not want to lose another child to the final selection process.

Urokodaki cooks Tanjiro a feast to celebrate the end of his training. He mentions that the demons get stronger the more people they consume. Urokodaki then gives Tanjiro a warding mask that he had made himself and put a spell on it to protect him from harm. The mask is in the shape of a fox, the same as his previous students.

The next day, Tanjiro says goodbye to his sister and Urokodaki. As he is leaving, he tells his trainer to thank Sabito and Makomo and runs off to the final selection process. Urokodaki looks stunned. He reveals that Sabito and Makomo have been dead for some time.

Tanjiro arrives at the demon slayer corps final selection where he finds several other students on the same journey. They are told that they have to survive in the mountains for seven days with demons that have been caught alive and imprisoned there by previous demon slayers.

Within a few moments of entering, Tanjiro is attacked by two demons at once, both of which he defeats and kills instantly with the Nichirin Blade that Urokodaki had given him.

Moments later he hears screaming and sees a gigantic morphed demon that eats a demon slayer candidate and is on the verge of killing another. Tanjiro had never seen anything like it, but the demon seemed to recognize his fox mask.

It is revealed that this demon had been captured by Urokodaki 47 years ago and it has been seeking revenge against his students ever since.

After an intense battle, the episode ends with Tanjiro successfully slashing the neck of the enormous demon.
