Angered by their weakness, he kills them all but spares Lower One Enmu, strengthening him with his blood; Muzan also incentivizes killing Tanjiro. The trio are assigned to join Kyojuro on a train to investigate its disappearances. He farewells the mansion’s inhabitants, including Kanao, who after explaining her process of flipping a coin to make personal choices, Tanjiro convinces to instead listen to the voice of her heart and decide herself, leaving Kanao smitten by his kindness.
