Tanjiro vs. The Hand Demon
In the crucible of the Final Selection, Tanjiro's encounter with the Hand Demon unfolded as a nightmarish ordeal. The revelation that the demon had voraciously consumed over fifty previous candidates, including Urokodaki's beloved students Makomo and Sabito, fueled Tanjiro's righteous fury. Unleashing a torrent of strikes, Tanjiro methodically severed the demon's multitude of arms, despite its taunting insistence that such an approach wouldn't lead to its demise. Relentlessly, the demon mocked Tanjiro, highlighting the futility even Sabito faced in attempting to behead it.
Through years of unchecked predation, the demon had grown complacent, a fatal flaw that ultimately sealed its fate. Tanjiro, keenly perceptive, identified the subtle vulnerability and exploited it. Employing the Water Breathing technique, specifically the First Form: Water Surface Slash, Tanjiro executed a precise strike that culminated in the decapitation of the demon. Beyond showcasing Tanjiro's formidable combat skills, this encounter underscored his innate compassion. In the demon's final moments, the impact of Tanjiro's humanity became evident, offering a poignant glimpse into how his compassion could elicit a profound response even from the most malevolent adversaries.
