Chapter 10

Swamp of Abduction (い) is the tenth chapter of Koyoharu Gotōge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary
As Tanjirou disembarks on his first mission as a Demon Slayer, a narration conveys important information regarding the supplies Tanjirou receives. It is revealed that the uniforms worn by demon slayers are light weight, water resistant, flame retardant, and extremely durable to the point where the 'claws and fangs of lesser demons' would not be able to damage it. Urokodaki gives Tanjirou a custom made box he had hand crafted in order to ease his travels of carrying Nezuko during the day.

The chapter resumes with Tanjirou entering the village where a string of odd disappearances had been occuring. He encounters a boy named Kazumi who leads Tanjirou to the location where his beloved, a girl named Satoko, was last seen before she had disappeared. Just as Tanjirou is about to investigate the area, the scene pans out to a sleeping girl being dragged into the ground by a supernatural demon. Sensing the commotion, Tanjirou sprints towards the scent of the newly appeared demon and is able to accurately locate and retrieve the girl from harms way.

The agitated demon disappears into the ground and reappears right beneath Tanjirou's feet in 3 different forms. The chapter ends with Tanjirou beginning his counter attack against the demon.
