Fully Recovered Tanjiro Joins the Hashira Training!!

Tanjiro attacks Hantengu but is confronted by his manifested hatred Zohakuten, whose Blood Demon Art is summoning giant wooden dragons. Zohakuten, who in actuality is the four demons in one body, hides Hantengu inside a hardened wooden burl. Gyokko enters Kanamori's shed to find Hotaru polishing Tanjiro's blade; he attacks him out of spite but grows annoyed when Hotaru ignores him. Near death, Muichiro sees a vision of Tanjiro, who assures him that someone will come; Kotetsu appears and fruitlessly stabs the watery pot until he is attacked by a small demon. Muichiro dissuades him from trying to help when Kotetsu blows bubbles into the pot, giving him sufficient air to break free. He realizes the reason Tanjiro seems familiar to him is because he shares the same eye color as his father.
