"Kibutsuji Muzan!"
Tanjiro roared at Muzan, who stood before him.
His heart began pounding uncontrollably.
As he looked at Muzan, a tumult of emotions surged through him.
This man was the source of all their suffering.
He was the king of all demons, the origin of every demon. He was the culprit who had cursed the Master's family, burdening the Ubuyashiki clan with a terrible curse. He was also the one who had murdered Tanjiro's family and turned Nezuko into a demon.

Fire blazed as Tanjiro
