1 / 100.0s

Problem 1

At the beginning of the Hashira Training Arc, a mission involving two Hashira unfolds while Tanjiro is recovering elsewhere.

Which option correctly matches the Hashira who head to a ruined castle on a mountaintop with the person recovering at the Butterfly Mansion at that time?

View explanation

Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro are among those sent on the mission to the ruined castle on the mountaintop. Meanwhile, Tanjiro is healing at the Butterfly Mansion from the injuries he suffered in the Swordsmith Village; he does not join the castle mission.

Problem 2

The Hashira gather at the Ubuyashiki estate to share what happened in the Swordsmith Village and discuss their preparations.

Who speaks about the Demon Slayer Mark at the Hashira meeting, and what is the organizational purpose of the Hashira Training that follows?

View explanation

Muichiro Tokito speaks at the meeting about how the mark manifested. Hashira Training then begins to improve the capabilities of the Demon Slayer Corps as a whole. This question does not ask for specific manifestation conditions that the official episode synopsis does not state.

Problem 3

While preparations for Hashira Training advance, a messenger suddenly appears before Tamayo, a demon who opposes Muzan.

Who is the messenger, and what invitation does Tamayo receive?

View explanation

The visitor is Kagaya Ubuyashiki's Kasugai Crow, which invites Tamayo to Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters despite her being a demon. This is an unusual approach from the Corps, not a summons from Muzan to the Infinity Castle.

Problem 4

After receiving a letter from Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Tanjiro visits Giyu Tomioka, who is not participating in Hashira Training.

What does Tanjiro do before Giyu begins to explain why he is not participating?

View explanation

Tanjiro keeps trying to speak with Giyu even after Giyu initially refuses to see him. Tanjiro's persistence eventually wears down Giyu's resistance, and Giyu begins to explain his reason for avoiding the training. Tanjiro does not force him to participate.

Problem 5

Once his injuries have healed, Tanjiro joins Hashira Training and visits a succession of instructors.

Who is the first instructor Tanjiro visits, and what is the aim of that training?

View explanation

The first instructor Tanjiro visits after recovering is former Hashira Tengen Uzui, whose initial training is designed to improve basic stamina. Correcting Tanjiro's swordsmanship comes later during Obanai's training.

Problem 6

After completing Tengen's training, Tanjiro proceeds to the Tokito estate for the next stage.

What condition does Tanjiro find the Corps members who began training there before him in?

View explanation

The Corps members at the Tokito estate have become dispirited under Muichiro's severe training and uncompromising words. After hearing their pleas for help, Tanjiro becomes involved in the situation.

Problem 7

After completing Mitsuri's training, Tanjiro advances to Obanai's training ground, where Obanai is visibly angry as he waits.

What is Obanai's training primarily intended to correct?

View explanation

Obanai's demanding training is intended to correct the path of Tanjiro's blade and improve his swordsmanship. The waterfall and boulder exercises belong to Gyomei's stage, while Tengen's stage focuses on basic stamina.

Problem 8

Tanjiro and Zenitsu arrive at Gyomei's training site deep in the mountains.

Which option correctly identifies the people they meet again and the first exercise Tanjiro undertakes?

View explanation

Inosuke and Murata have reached Gyomei's training site before Tanjiro and Zenitsu, who reunite with them there. Tanjiro first trains beneath a waterfall and struggles with the cold and weight of the falling water.

Problem 9

Unable to move the boulder during Gyomei's training, Tanjiro applies a fellow trainee's advice and tries again.

Which option correctly gives the sequence from Tanjiro moving the boulder to Gyomei recounting his past?

View explanation

With Genya's advice, Tanjiro succeeds in moving the boulder but collapses after using all his strength. Gyomei saves him and, after hearing Tanjiro's honest feelings, tells Tanjiro about his own past.

Problem 10

On a quiet moonlit night, two men bound by a thousand-year feud meet at the Ubuyashiki estate.

Which option correctly identifies the two men and contrasts their aims?

View explanation

Muzan Kibutsuji arrives at the Ubuyashiki estate and finally meets Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Kagaya has held on to life in order to defeat Muzan, whereas Muzan seeks his own immortality; their aims are directly opposed.
