Akihabara News (Tokyo) — In the twenty-fourth episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tanjiro works hard during his rehabilitation training as Zenitsu and Inosuke give up.
The episode begins with Kyojuro Rengoku, the flame Hashira, heading out to an assignment upon hearing there was a sighting of an Upper Rank Twelve Kizuki. Shinobu Kocho wishes him safety on his mission.
Murata, the demon slayer they met on Mount Natagumo, pays Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu a visit at the rehabilitation center. They recount their adventures on the mountain and he reveals that he is scared to give his report of the events to the Hashira, as they are intimidating.
Shinobu tells Tanjiro and Inosuke that they are to start their rehabilitation training soon, but Zenitsu must continue resting as his limbs have not fully recovered.
Over the next few days the boys go into training and Zenitsu watches as they come back completely tired and wrecked. They do not respond to his questions, but rather go straight to sleep.
When it is turn for Zenitsu to go into training he is terrified. In the training room, the boys receive physical therapy from triplet Kocho girls in which they are stretched. After that, their agility and speed are tested by playing tag with Kanao Tsuyuri, and none of them even get close to winning.
After a few days of intense training, Zenitsu and Inosuke stop training as they give up. Tanjiro continues to show up.
The Kocho triplets admire Tanjiro’s will. They share with him that Tsuyuri constantly maintains Total Concentration Breathing, a technique he only used during battle due to the energy it takes. Tanjiro trains day and night.
Weeks pass, and Tanjiro feels himself get stronger. He goes above and beyond his training.
One night, as he practices his Total Concentration Breathing on the roof, Shinobu joins him. She reveals that she lost all hope in the idea of demons and humans living in harmony after her sister was killed by a demon. However, Tanjiro’s bond and determination with Nezuko has renewed her hope. She tells him that she is happy that he will continue fulfilling her dreams despite her growing resentment towards demons after all she has witnessed.
The episode ends with Tanjiro vowing to himself that he will turn Nezuko back into human.
