Battle
A piece of dynamite is shown inside a nearby chapel and goes off, creating an enormous explosion. This greatly confuses Kyojuro, Mitsuri and other Demon Slayers. Mitsuri exclaims that she wants to be some help to Kyojuro and sprints towards the location of the explosion to help any nearby civilians. Before going far, a bullet nearly scraps off her face from the top of a nearby building. Kyojuro looks at the trajectory of the bullet along where the bullet landed and sees the source, an individual sniping on the very top of a building. The individual is shown as a man with a western suit with a black cape-like cloak wielding a M1903 Springfield sniper rifle. The man exclaims in frustration that he didn't get to kill Kyojuro's "subordinate" and tries to calm himself down as he reloads his rifle. He goes for another shot but sees that Kyojuro has disappeared from the frame. Suddenly, the Kinoe-ranked Slayer appears in front of him and uses the Flame Breathing: First Form - Unknowing Fire to try to behead the man but he dodges the attack with only his sniper rifle being hit.
