The story takes place in the Taish 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.

In contrast, the Demon Slayers are entirely human but employ specialized elemental breathing techniques known as "Breathing Styles". These techniques grant them superhuman strength and increased resilience that enable them to fight demons effectively. The most formidable Demon Slayers hold the "Hashira" title and gain this rank through killing a member of the Twelve Kizuki, an organization comprising the twelve strongest demons of their species, or killing fifty demons through multiple advancements in their rank.

Tanjiro Kamado is a kind-hearted and intelligent boy who lives with his family in the mountains. After his father's death, he became his family's breadwinner and travels to the nearby village to sell charcoal. One day, Tanjiro came home and discovers his family was slaughtered by a demon. His sister Nezuko is the sole survivor of the incident. She has been transformed into a demon, but still surprisingly shows signs of human emotion and thought. Following an encounter with Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro is recruited and send to Giyu's retired master Sakonji Urokodaki for training to also become a Demon Slayer. He begins his quest to help Nezuko turn into a human again.

Upon learning about Rui's death, Muzan slaughters Kamanue, Mukago, Wakuraba, and Rokuro due to their constant failures. He spares Enmu and sends him on a mission to kill Tanjiro. After a battle against Enmu in a passenger train, Tanjiro kills him with Kyojuro's support. However, Akaza arrives and fatally injures Kyojuro, who dies from his wounds, as the demon escapes. Several months later, the group is sent to Yoshiwara with Tengen, where they face off and kill Gyutaro and his sister Daki. Tengen retires from the Corps after suffering substantial injuries in the battle. During another battle in a swordsmith village, Tanjiro meets Genya Shinazugawa, Sanemi's younger brother, who has the mysterious ability to temporarily become a demon after eating their flesh. With the help of Muichiro and Mitsuri, the group manage to kill Gyokko and Hantengu while realizing that Nezuko is invulnerable to sunlight. She becomes Muzan's prime target as he has long sought a way to overcome the sun and transform into a ultimate being. Tanjiro also learns his Hinokami Kagura is descended from the "Sun Breathing", the original breathing style invented by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the most powerful Demon Slayer in history, and develops it to fight Muzan.

Muzan's death has effectively vanquished all other demons under his control while Yushiro goes to live as a painter. Tanjiro and Nezuko return to their home, accompanied by Zenitsu and Inosuke. Tanjiro and Inosuke marry fellow Corps members Kanao Tsuyuri and Aoi Kanzaki, respectively, while Zenitsu marries Nezuko. In a modern-day epilogue, the descendants and reincarnations of the Corps members enjoy a peaceful life free of demons.

After Gotouge's manga, Haeniwa no Zigzag, published in Weekly Shnen Jump in 2015, failed to become a serialized work, Tatsuhiko Katayama, Gotouge's first editor, suggested Gotouge to start a series with an "easy-to-understand theme".[5] Gotouge's debut work Kagarigari would become the basis for an initial draft, titled Kisatsu no Nagare () since it had concepts like swords and demons, which would be familiar to the Japanese audience.[5] However, due to its serious tone, lack of comic relief, and dark story, this draft was not accepted for serialization, so Katayama asked Gotouge to try writing a brighter, more normal character in the same setting.[5] The original title was Kisatsu no Yaiba (), but they felt the character "satsu" (, lit. "kill") in the title was too overt. Although it is a made-up word, "kimetsu" () seemed easy to understand, so Gotouge thought it would be interesting to abbreviate the series' title that way; the word "yaiba" (, lit. "blade") implies a Japanese sword.[5] According to Gotouge, the series' three biggest influences are JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Naruto and Bleach.[6][7] Tatsuhiko Katayama, an editor of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga, has said in interviews that the red-haired, scar-faced Tanjiro was inspired by Rurouni Kenshin, a 1990s manga about a similarly drawn swordsman, Himura Kenshin.[8]

An anime television series adaptation by studio Ufotable was announced by Weekly Shnen Jump in June 2018.[43] The anime was directed by Haruo Sotozaki and produced by Hikaru Kondo. Akira Matsushima served as the character designer. The series ran for 26 episodes, broadcast from April 6 to September 28, 2019, on Tokyo MX, GTV, GYT, BS11, and other channels.[44][45][46][47]

On September 28, 2019, immediately following the airing of episode 26, an anime film titled; Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train was announced, with the staff and cast reprising their roles.[101] The film is a direct sequel to the anime series and covers the events of the "Mugen Train" story arc.[102] The film is distributed in Japan by Aniplex and Toho and premiered in Japan on October 16, 2020.[103]

The film has grossed over US$500 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 2020, and broke several box office records, including the highest-grossing Japanese film and anime film of all time.[104] The film was released worldwide digitally on June 22, 2021.[105]

In 2020, the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba franchise generated an estimated annual sales revenue of 1 trillion ($8.75 billion).[145][146][147] In January 2021, it was reported that Japanese sales of print books and magazines fell 1% in 2020 compared to the previous year, being the smallest per-year decline since 2006. This small decline was attributed to an increase in reading in Japan due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the "successful boom" of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga and its related publications.[148] According to CharaBiz, a database for character licensing business in Japan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is the highest-grossing franchise of 2020, surpassing other well-known franchises such as Anpanman, Pokmon, Mickey Mouse and Peanuts (Snoopy).[149] Entertainment District Arc averaged 18.43 million viewers, with 25.5 million for episode 10 and 25.97 million for episode 11.[150] The Swordsmith Village Arc's final episode averaged 22.87 million viewers, while the double feature special of the anime's Entertainment District Arc drew 22.51 million after their broadcast.[151]

Regarding the series' sudden huge success, Weekly Shnen Jump editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano stated that the manga sales shot up straight after its anime adaptation finished, explaining that a large number of people watched the series through streaming services after it ended rather than watching it weekly. Nakano also stated that it is harder for a manga series running in the magazine to become a hit, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba despite having started in February 2016, did not become a major hit until late 2019, adding that its success "hinged on word of mouth generated after the anime's run".[169] Nakano have also said it introduced many new people and audience into Jump.[170] According to Yuma Takahashi, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime series producer, the series had three main factors for its success: "The power of the original work, the attitude towards adapting it to anime, and the environment". Takahashi explained that although many people learned about the manga through the anime, that in itself is not enough to generate a hit, stating that the original manga itself is interesting and they tried to adapt it earnestly without losing any of its appeal. The earnest attitude towards the adaptation and techniques from the staff at Ufotable were other key factors. Takahashi pointed out the changes in the anime-viewing landscape within the past few years and the increasing popularity of the streaming platforms. Takahashi said that by airing the series for two cours, it had the time to build up an audience. Takahashi added: "While the anime was airing, the story being serialized in the manga was heating up, so the timing was also ideal. It wasn't as if it suddenly became the center of attention; I feel that it steadily picked up fans and expanded its audience".[171] On December 20, 2020, at the Jump Festa '21, Mayumi Tanaka, voice actress of One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy, read aloud a message from One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda, in which he praised Gotouge's series, and wrote: "At Jump, Demon Slayer was really amazing. I enjoyed how it was able to save the feelings of so many people. Absolutely superb work. This is how I want manga to be. It touched me, somehow!".[172] Yusuke Murata said that the series' contribution to the industry as a whole is immeasurable,[173] while Gege Akutami commented that the series created many new manga fans.[174] ff782bc1db
