Demon Slayer Season 1: Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc (Episodes 1–26)

Fans can start watching the series here, as this arc covers Tanjiro’s origins, his training, and his early missions with Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. It also introduces Muzan Kibutsuji and the Hashira.

A compilation movie under the name Kimetsu no Yaiba: Brother and Sister's Bond is also available. However, this simply combines the first five episodes of Demon Slayer Season 1.

Fans have two choices when it comes to watching this arc:

Fans need not watch both, as the two Demon Slayer media tell the same story. It is worth noting that the anime version of the arc includes a few extra scenes and a Rengoku-focused episode.
