Akihabara News (Tokyo) — In the thirteenth episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tanjiro defeats the Tsuzumi demon and goes head-to-head with the boar-headed man.
The episode begins with Zenitsu and Shoichi roaming around the mansion in search of Tanjiro. As they enter a room, it flips and they fall through several floors and a window, landing outside the mansion.
In another room, Tanjiro is struggling to fight the Tsuzumi demon as the it keeps disorienting him by flipping the room over and over. His broken bones also deter him from fighting with his full potential.
He stops to ask the demon its name, to which the demon replies, Kyogai.
Tanjiro tells the Kyogai that he will not give him the marechi and will not give up until he defeats him. The demon responds by rapidly tapping the tsuzumi drums.
Tanjiro gets dizzy from the room spinning round and round. Mustering up all the strength he has remaining, he uses his total concentration technique and dodges the attacks swiftly before slashing Kyogai’s neck, killing the demon.
He then retrieves a blood sample, which he then sends to the demon doctor Tamayo using a messenger.
After defeating the demon, Tanjiro finds Teruko and her brother and heads outside to find Zenitsu and Shoichi.
He is shocked to find the boar-headed man bashing Zenitsu, as he protects the box his sister Nezuko was resting in.
Zenitsu reveals that he and the boar-headed man sensed a demon in the box. However, Zenitsu trusted Tanjiro and was risking his life to protect something Tanjiro seemed to value so much.
The episode ends with Tanjiro pouncing to attack the boar-headed demon slayer.
