While the movie spinoff became Japan’s highest-grossing film ever in 2020, the series follows Tanjiro Kamado, and his younger sister, Nezuko, who travel around the rapidly modernising, early 1900sTaisho-era Japan as part of the clandestine Demon Slayer Corps after his whole family is killed one night while Nezukoturns into a half-demon. Aside from demon slaying, Tanjiro’s ultimate goal is twofold: turn Nezuko back into a human and seek vengeance against Muzan Kibutsuji, a super-evil demon, passing in society as a human and who can create new progeny by injecting people with his very potent demon blood.
