Zum Ende hin, circa im letzen Viertel, nimmt die Spannung und Action drastisch zu, als Tanjiro und seine Kameraden im letzten Showdown ihrem Erzfeind Muzan Kibutsuji, dem ersten aller Dämonen, gegenüberstehen. Die Kämpfe sind brutaler und verlustreicher als je zuvor und dem Leser wird keine Verschnaufpause gegönnt. Episode 52: Hodgkins, Crystalyn (June 3, 2023). "Japanese Animation TV Ranking, May 22–28".

Er trifft auf Gegner, die schwer zu bezwingen sind, sieht sich oft dem Tod gegenüber oder überlebt nur knapp und schwerverletzt. An jedem Kampf wächst Tanjiro, während es auch Episoden gibt, in denen er seine Fähigkeiten durch Training verbessern oder sich schlichtweg erholen muss. Ebenso trifft er auf neue Verbündete, die zu Freunden und später sogar zu einer zweiten Familie für ihn werden.

Zwar gibt es ein schönes Ende und sogar einen Zeitsprung, der das Leben der Nachkommen der Dämonenjäger zeigt, aber hier hätte ich mir mehr als nur zwei Kapitel gewünscht. Denn es werden fast nur die direkten Nachwehen des Kampfes gezeigt, nicht die weitere Geschichte der Protagonisten. The story takes place in the Taishō era Japan, where a secret organization, known as the Demon Slayer Corps, has waged a longtime war against demons for centuries. These demons are former humans who possess supernatural abilities such as super strength, rapid regeneration, and unique powers referred to as "Blood Demon Art". Demons can only be killed if they are decapitated with weapons crafted from a rare alloy called Nichirin, injected with a poison extracted from wisteria flowers, or exposed to direct sunlight.
