A stage adaptation focusing on the Swordsmith Village arc is currently underway, continuing the traditional storytelling of Tanjiro and Nezuko. This production will showcase the demons from the Swordsmith Village arc as they interact with the physical world.
After events in the Entertainment District, Kamado Tanjiro arrives in a village known for its swordsmiths to have his sword repaired by Haganezuka, the swordsmith responsible for maintaining his weapon. This village is a secluded area where the finest swords are forged, utilizing materials from the surrounding mountains.
While waiting for his sword to be repaired, Tanjiro dedicates his time to training and honing his skills. During his time there, he meets two Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji and Muichiro Tokito, who play key roles in protecting the village.
However, tranquility does not last long. Two of the Upper Moons have infiltrated the village. Gyokko, the Upper Rank demon, is known for his artistic creations that hold deadly capabilities, while Hantengu possesses clones with varying personalities.
