Mugen Train Arc
When Tanjiro informs Inosuke that Enmu's head is at the front of the train. Inosuke cuts away the locomotive's roof and sees the frightened train engineer who asks him who he is and yells at him to get away, but Inosuke ignores him and continues forward.

While Tanjiro and Inosuke fight Enmu's tentacles, the engineer stands by and watches. At one point, Tanjiro jumps in to save the engineer from being hit by the tentacles. When Tanjiro and Inosuke start slashing Enmu's eyes, the engineer suddenly appears, armed with an awl that was made using Enmu's bones and teeth, and attempts to stab Inosuke. He wants to prevent the demon slayers from killing Enmu because he doesn't want them to get in the way of his dreams. Tanjiro jumps in and takes the blow to his stomach. He knocks the engineer unconscious but Inosuke angrily tells him to leave him to die. Tanjiro refuses to do so.When Tanjiro manages to cut off Enmu's head, all three men are sent flying by the train's explosion and Tanjiro realizes that if he dies the train engineer will become a murderer. After Inosuke finds Tanjiro in the rubble, Tanjiro asks about the train engineer's fate and Inosuke informs him that the train engineer got his foot stuck and couldn't move. His foot was shattered and he can't walk anymore. Tanjiro feels the engineer already atoned for his sin and requests Inosuke to help him.
