Two years later, Tanjiro learns the "Water Breathing" style after a strenuous training and takes part in a formidable exam. He is one of the few survivors to approve, officially making him a member of the Corps. Nezuko has been hypnotized to not harm humans and occasionally helps Tanjiro, who starts his work of hunting down and slaying demons. One of their assignments bring them to Asakusa where they encounter Muzan Kibutsuji, the evil progenitor of all demons and the responsible for the murder of their family. Tanjiro and Nezuko also meet Tamayo and Yushiro, two demons who are free from Muzan's control. They ally to develop a cure for Nezuko, though it will require Tanjiro to supply Tamayo with blood samples from the Twelve Kizuki – Kokushibo, Doma, Akaza, Hantengu, Gyokko, Gyutaro, Enmu, Rokuro, Wakuraba, Mukago, Rui, and Kamanue –, the twelve most powerful demons under Muzan's command.
