Part 1 saw the emotional and high-octane battles featuring Tanjiro and Giyu vs. Akaza, as well as the tragic clash between Shinobu Kocho and Doma. The upcoming Part 2 is expected to focus on the terrifying power of Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, and the navigation of the castle’s ever-changing layout controlled by Nakime.
