Tanjiro Kamado vs. Inosuke Hashibira
Following the Final Selection arc, Tanjiro Kamado, having teamed up with Zenitsu, encountered an unexpected adversary. After successfully defeating Kyogai, a former member of the 12 Kizuki, Tanjiro emerged to find a boar-masked young man assaulting Zenitsu and threatening Nezuko's box. Fueled by rage, Tanjiro swiftly intervened, delivering a powerful punch that resonated with bone-cracking force, incapacitating the aggressor. Attempting to diffuse the situation, Tanjiro then tried to calm down the assailant.
Refusing to yield, the boar-masked individual retaliated, prompting Tanjiro to respond with a resounding headbutt. The impact was so intense that it dislodged the mask, unveiling the surprisingly attractive face beneath. Perturbed by the attention, the newcomer, identifying himself as Inosuke Hashibira, challenged Tanjiro to continue the confrontation. However, Tanjiro opted to de-escalate the situation, and Inosuke, succumbing to the effects of the powerful headbutt, ultimately collapsed due to a concussion.
