Final Selection

Final Selection is a selective process for individuals who seek to become a recognized Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Corps. The selection takes place on Mount Fujikasane, where Wisteria flowers bloom every season from the mountain's foot to its slope. The area around the mountaintop does not have any Wisteria flowers and is infested with demons, which were caught alive and placed on the mountain by existing Demon Slayers. Since Wisteria is poisonous to demons, they remain trapped inside the mountain and cannot leave.Most of the demons captured are relatively weak, presenting enough of a challenge for attendees to test their skills. However, there was one example of an abnormally strong demon that managed to kill and devour numerous applicant for decades.

The exam requires the examinee to survive seven nights on the mountaintop, without any outside aid. Candidates who successfully survive the seven nights are then permitted to become official members of the Demon Slayer Corps. At the end of the exam, they get to choose their own ore for their Nichirin Sword and, additionally, receive their own uniform and Kasugai Crow.
