Welcome...

Sanemi brushes off Genya's attempt to reconcile, mocking his lack of talent and telling him to leave the Corps. Genya refuses to back down and admits he has consumed a demon to grow stronger. The revelation stops Sanemi cold, and in an instant he lunges to gouge out his brother's eyes. Tanjiro tackles Genya clear, and the two crash through a wall, the commotion terrifying the other trainees.

Tanjiro challenges Sanemi over his cruelty, arguing that since Sanemi disowned Genya, he has no right to dictate his choices, and points out that Genya was crucial in defeating Upper Rank Four. Sanemi turns his aggression on Tanjiro, who surprises him by blocking the strike and kicking him in the head. Sanemi retaliates with a kick fast enough to nick Tanjiro's ear, declaring he intends to kill him. The scuffle pulls in other trainees, including Zenitsu, before they manage to separate the pair.

Tanjiro's training with Sanemi is suspended, and he laments having possibly damaged the brothers' bond further. As he and Zenitsu travel to Gyomei's stage, they reach a waterfall where trainees chant beneath a crushing torrent. Gyomei then appears bearing massive logs and rocks while standing barefoot on burning ground, welcoming them to his training site.

Sanemi attacks Genya after learning he eats demons, triggering a brawl with Tanjiro.

Tanjiro's training under Sanemi is suspended following the fight.

Tanjiro and Zenitsu arrive at Gyomei's strength-training stage at the waterfall.

The chapter delivers a violent escalation of the Shinazugawa conflict while demonstrating Tanjiro's growth, as he matches a Hashira in raw reflexes. Gyomei's entrance establishes him as the Corps' physical pinnacle ahead of his teaching stage.
