As the manga shows, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu settle into a quiet life that they share together. Demon Slayer Corps founder Kiriya Ubuyashiki sends Tanjiro and friends plenty of money to live, but he prefers to spend his days working to provide for the household.
Giyu and Demon Slayer heartthrob Tengen Uzui stay friends and hang out. In the manga, we can see Giyu letting loose a little and enjoying a hot spring with Uzui and his three wives. It shows a softer side to the hardened swordsman.
Kanao Tsuyuri and Aoi Kanzaki now live in Shinobu Kocho’s home. Tanjiro and the gang go for monthly visits and hang out with them.
Demon Slayer tells a tragic story where the majority of Tanjiro’s family passes away in the opening scenes. From that point on, he sees nothing but hardship as he seeks to save his sister from the curse. Now he finally gets to enjoy the peaceful life the hardworking boy deserves.

In the latest trailer for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, protagonist Ichiban Kasuga describes his home town of Kamurocho as the “armpit of Tokyo”.
