Plot

The anime follows the manga series plotline, after 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train' movie and will adapt the ‘Entertainment District’ arc of the manga.

Tengen is on a mission to rescue his three wives that have gone missing in the Yoshiwara Red Light district and to find out what has happened to them; he needs to infiltrate and investigate the situation. He ropes in the three boys, Tanjiro, Zentisu and Inosuke to do the same. He sends them to three different brothels -- the Ogimoto House, Kyogoku House, and Tokito House, where they are disguised as women to extract information.

However, when Zentisu goes missing, Tengen soon realizes that there might be a larger danger looming at hand. The group soon faces off against Muzan's Upper Moon Six demons -- Gyutaro and his sister, Daki.
