Kimetsu no Yaiba Wiki

Rushing Boar ( (とつ) (ぜん) (いのしし) Totsuzen no Inoshishi?) is the twenty-second chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary[]

Tanjiro is astonished by the presence of the masked stranger. He notices the individual wields two Nichirin Swords and witnesses his assertion of using the Drum Demon as his stepping stone to become stronger and higher-ranked, rushing forward to attack him. The demon beats its drum and the room rotates with Tanjiro yelling at Teruko to grab hold of furniture as she tumbles. The dual-wielder uses Tanjiro as a support to launch off and attack the demon as Tanjiro tells him to not act recklessly.

Inosuke tramples Teruko

The man tramples Teruko.

He is ignored and the Drum Demon hits another drum, shifting the room which results in the boar-masked individual landing and stepping on Teruko, paying no mind to her cries and expressing enjoyment and interest in the motion of the room. Tanjiro throws the stranger off of her and hugs Teruko, angry over his lack of concern for a little girl's well-being. The masked Demon Slayer laughs and begins attacking him, praising Tanjiro for being capable of throwing him. Tanjiro shouts at him to stop as the demon is right in front of them, but he states that he didn't care and continues his assault.

Tanjiro and Inosuke evades Kyogai's slashes

Tanjiro and the man evades Kyogai's three slashes.

The Drum Demon suddenly hits a different drum, resulting in three quick slashes cutting the floor and interrupting the scuffle between the two Demon Slayers. Tanjiro comments on the shape of the slashes looking like claw marks, but his thoughts are cut off by the demon consecutively hitting multiple drums and rotating the room once again. He starts understanding how the movement corresponds to each drum that is hit, but he and Teruko are transported to another room before he can react.

Kiyoshi using the tsuzumi

Kiyoshi uses the tsuzumi.

Tanjiro questions the sudden change, as he didn't hear Kyogai hit a drum which could've possibly allowed for him and Teruko to move. He starts analyzing his surroundings and finds a dead body, in which the Demon Slayer quickly ushers Teruko in the other direction before she sees it. Tanjiro then smells a unique scent of blood and he opens a set of door, discovering the siblings' oldest brother Kiyoshi right before he hits a drum.

In another section of the house, Zenitsu walks while holding Shoichi's hand. Shoichi says his name and Zenitsu yells, scolding him for surprising him. The boy tells the Demon Slayer how he feels unsafe around him, especially considering how frightened Zenitsu was. He profusely apologizes and tells him that they should stay quiet to avoid being attacked by demons, just as one crawls from under the mansion's foundations and appears in front of them.
