Overview
Tanjiro Kamado travels to the secret Swordsmith Village to replace his broken sword, as the smith Hotaru Haganezuka refuses to forge another one without explanation. He doesn't know the village's location because he is transported blindfolded and earmuffed to preserve operational security. Upon arrival, Tanjiro meets the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, and the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito. The peaceful village is suddenly ambushed by upper-rank demons Gyokko and Hantengu, who seek to destroy the corps' blade production infrastructure. Tanjiro and the Hashira must defend the smiths and safeguard the production facility to ensure the corps' survival.
Takeaways
The Swordsmith Village is the most important spot for the Demon Slayers, since they make all the weapons. They keep the village's location a secret by blindfolding everyone who visits so the demons can't find it. The demon attack is a disaster that could stop the production of their swords entirely. During the fight, the Mist Hashira, Muichiro, remembers who he is and starts helping others instead of just fighting alone. Saving the village depends on everyone working together on the spot. Protecting the smiths means the slayers will keep getting the swords they need to fight back.
