Sinopsis General de Kimetsu no Yaiba
Tanjirou Kamado lives with his impoverished family in a
remote mountain. As his older brother, he assumed the responsibility of
ensuring the sustenance of his family after the death of his father. On a cold
winter day, he goes down to the local village to sell charcoal. At nightfall,
he is forced to spend the night in the house of a curious man who warns him of
the existence of strange creatures that roam the night: malevolent demons that
crave human flesh.
When he finally gets home, Tanjirou's worst nightmare
comes true. His entire family has been brutally slaughtered, with the sole
exception of his sister Nezuko, who has become a flesh-eating demon. Filled
with hatred and despair, Tanjirou desperately tries to stop Nezuko from
attacking other people, embarking on a journey to avenge his family and find a
way to turn his beloved sister back into a human.
