Demon Slayer Chapter 133

Demon Slayer Chapter 133, titled "Welcome...", throws Tanjiro Kamado into the heart of the Hashira Training Arc, where a tense confrontation between the Shinazugawa brothers escalates into a fierce brawl, and a new, brutal training regimen under Gyomei Himejima is revealed. The chapter opens with Sanemi Shinazugawa vehemently dismissing Genya Shinazugawa's attempts to speak, insulting his lack of talent and telling him to quit the Demon Slayer Corps. Genya, watching his brother walk away, desperately tries to apologize, stating he's wanted to for a long time, but Sanemi again refuses to listen, continuing to ignore him. Genya defiantly refuses Sanemi's dismissal, proclaiming he has fought hard to reach his current position, even revealing he has eaten a demon in the process. Sanemi suddenly stops, turning to glare menacingly at Genya, demanding confirmation of what he just heard, his fury barely contained. This exchange highlights the deep-seated animosity and misunderstanding between the brothers, setting a tense tone for the chapter.

The Wind Hashira vanishes in an instant, confusing Genya. Tanjiro bursts forth, attempting to pull his friend away as Sanemi tries to gouge Genya's eyes out. The two crash through a wall, the sudden loud noise causing the frightened trainees to believe Sanemi has returned. Zenitsu Agatsuma asks Tanjiro why he broke through the wall, just as he hears an ominous and torturous sound emanating from the commotion. As Sanemi walks outside, causing Zenitsu to scream in fright, Tanjiro angrily asks how Sanemi can possibly want to kill Genya. Sanemi dismisses his concern, knowing he cannot kill him due to the Corps' rules; instead, he vows to brutalize Genya beyond his healing capabilities, willing to forgive him only if he quits the Corps, showcasing his cruel determination to push his brother away for what he perceives as his own good. Tanjiro is enraged by Sanemi's actions, asserting that he cannot force Genya to quit and reiterating that Sanemi previously claimed to have no brother, thus invalidating his right to dictate Genya's decisions. He staunchly refuses to let Sanemi interfere with Genya, recognizing his crucial role in the defeat of Upper Rank Four Hantengu. Sanemi, infuriated, decides to attack Tanjiro instead, lunging forth so quickly that Tanjiro can barely react. However, the Hashira is surprised to see Tanjiro block his hand from hitting his chest. Tanjiro then swiftly twists himself, landing a powerful kick to Sanemi's head, shocking Zenitsu and causing Sanemi to drop him, demonstrating Tanjiro's growing skill and courage.

Genya warns Tanjiro as Sanemi retaliates, kicking at him so rapidly that his foot grazes Tanjiro's ear, drawing blood. The Wind Hashira, impressed by Tanjiro's nerve, decides he will kill him. Genya pleads with Sanemi to leave Tanjiro alone, but Zenitsu attempts to pull Genya away from the escalating fight. Confused, Genya hears Zenitsu state it is better to leave a quarrel, before Zenitsu adds that he pities Genya for having an older brother like Sanemi. Genya, however, misinterprets this as an insult and punches Zenitsu in the nose, adding a comical touch to the intense situation. The brawl between Tanjiro and Sanemi soon involves other trainees, who pull them apart. Tanjiro is reprimanded for his actions, and his training with the Wind Hashira is suspended, though he is saddened that he has seemingly worsened Genya and Sanemi's already strained relationship. As Zenitsu and Tanjiro walk to Gyomei Himejima's training stage, Tanjiro apologizes for disrupting the training, but Zenitsu is surprisingly impressed that Tanjiro stood up to Sanemi, before ranting about the mountainous location of Gyomei's training. They finally reach a waterfall, where trainees, including Inosuke Hashibira, are chanting the Nenbutsu while being pushed down by a torrent of water, a sight that epitomizes Gyomei's brutal regimen.

Zenitsu and Tanjiro are visibly frightened by the scene. Gyomei speaks from behind them, startling them. They turn to see the imposing Stone Hashira, bearing giant logs on his back, weighed down by clusters of rocks, standing barefoot atop fiery grounds. He calmly tells them that extinguishing the heart and mind can make even fires cold, welcoming them to his training ground, leaving the two new arrivals dumbfounded and shocked by the sheer intensity of his methods. This dramatic conclusion to Demon Slayer Chapter 133 sets the tone for the challenging and potentially life-altering training under Gyomei, highlighting the diverse and demanding nature of the Hashira Training Arc and the immense power of the Demon Slayers.
