This story starts 800 years ago. An extremely powerful and cruel demon was threatening to wipe out humankind. Unable to fight back, the humans desperately prayed to their God, begging him to send help.

Then began the era of peace. For centuries, not one sight of demons was reported. The future generation of Idaten grew up in pure bliss. Only one Idaten survived from the dark era and dedicated himself to teaching his successors how to defend themselves if a catastrophe rose again.

Demon Slayer, number one. I believe it didn’t come as a surprise for anyone.

Tanjiro had his whole family killed by the king of demons, Muzan. Just his sister survived however she was turned into one.

She was a special case, she was able to keep  all her senses as Tanjiro had hoped. He trained and became a demon slayer with the goal of killing the monster who destroyed his life and finding a way to turn Nezuko back to normal.
