Despite their impoverished circumstances, they have managed to lead a contented life.

Upon returning home the next day, Tanjirou discovers an unimaginable horror-his entire family has been brutally murdered, and his only surviving sibling is Nezuko, who has been transformed into a bloodthirsty demon. Driven by rage and hatred, Tanjirou vows to avenge the deaths of his loved ones and remain loyal to his sister's humanity.
