Fortunately, one of his sisters, Nezuko is alive but she turns into a bloodthirsty demon. However, Nezuko's inherent human qualities will finally suppress her demon nature. She eventually helps her brother to fight with the demon.

Tanjiro starts his training and becomes a Demon Slayer, an elite swordsman. He finds a way to cure Nezuko and turn her into a human once again. He realizes that the people of Japan also need help as the Demon king MuzanKibutsuji, rapidly changing them into a demon.

So, he started making a team and being the friend with the Thunder Breath user ZenitsuAgatsuma and the boar-headed InosukeHashibira.

But, Hashibira wants him to kill his sister first, however, Nezuko proves herself that her character is not like a bloodthirsty demon and still she has some human quality. The leader of the Demon Slayer sides with Tanjiro and decides they will team together to demolish the demons.
