Synopsis
After completing their rehabilitation training, Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira board the Mugen Train to assist Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku. More than 40 passengers have disappeared aboard the locomotive, and the Demon Slayer Corps suspects supernatural involvement.
The investigation brings the group into conflict with Enmu, Lower Rank One of the Twelve Kizuki, whose Blood Demon Art traps victims within elaborate dreams. Directly continuing the anime’s first season, the film adapts the manga’s Mugen Train Arc and combines psychological fantasy with large-scale action while developing Rengoku’s ideals and influence.
