Hashira Meeting

Meanwhile, at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

And the real reason for the Hashira meeting held years later in the original story was not Nezuko's identity as a demon, but the fact that Tanjiro had come into contact with Muzan.

So Tengen Uzui was not the only one curious. The other Hashira were itching to
