Tanjiro confronts Kyogai, the drum demon whose every beat spins the room and hurls his enemies through the air. Disoriented and battered, Tanjiro steadies himself by reading the demon’s rhythm through scent and sound alone. With one perfectly timed rising slash, he ends the former Lower Moon’s life. In Kyogai’s final moments, Tanjiro honors the forgotten writer’s dream of being recognized, granting him a warrior’s respect.
