Tanjiro and Inosuke vs. The Spider Demons
Venturing into the woodlands of Mount Natagumo, Tanjiro and Inosuke abandoned the apprehensive Zenitsu. Within the dense forest, they came across another Demon Slayer assigned to eliminate the demons lurking within. However, conflict arose among the Slayers, leading Tanjiro to discern that something was amiss. Unveiling the Spider Mother's influence, who manipulated the Slayers through her webs, Tanjiro skillfully ensnared them in the trees to both restrain and shield them.
Frustrated by this interference, the Spider Mother simultaneously pulled all the strings, resulting in the demise of the ensnared Slayers. Determined, Inosuke and Tanjiro pursued the Spider Mother, maneuvering through her controlled puppets. In a strategic move, Inosuke launched Tanjiro into the air, and he swiftly dealt a fatal blow to the Spider Mother as he descended.
Their encounter with Spider Father ensued shortly after. Ignoring a cautionary warning to steer clear, they crossed a river and initiated an assault. In the midst of the skirmish, Inosuke was hurled into the river, while Tanjiro attempted to bring down a tree to decapitate the Spider Demon. However, the demon countered the attack, tossing Tanjiro aside as Inosuke pursued it into the forest. Fortunately, Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka arrived just in the nick of time to rescue Inosuke and vanquish Spider Father.
