Episode Title:
Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima
Episode Description:
After Tanjiro finishes training, Gyomei commends him and claims he has no doubts. Unsure of what he means, he hears Gyomei explain his past. He was a monk who cared for orphans, until a boy left his temple at night and encountered a demon, convincing it to spare him for Gyomei and the others. The demon killed the children, save for one girl, and Gyomei fought it to save her. The girl's remarks afterwards were misinterpreted and he was imprisoned, leaving him cynical and distrustful. Seeing Tanjiro now has convinced Gyomei of his honest character. On his way to Giyu, Tanjiro finds Zenitsu has become stern and serious after reading a letter he received. He watches a spar between Giyu and Sanemi, but Sanemi leaves when Tanjiro attempts to make peace. Later, Sanemi discovers Nakime's eye and realizes the Corps has been infiltrated, just as Muzan enters the Ubuyashiki mansion to confront Kagaya.
