Synopsis

That night, the sound of the Infinity Castle collapsing drowned out his final breath. As Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, fell, the faces of everyone he knew flashed before his eyes: Sabito, Rengoku, Muichiro, Mitsuri, Obanai, and the person he had never managed to properly speak to, even at the very end. If he could live it all over again, he vowed, this time he would save everyone. When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the day he had first become the Water Hashira. His memories of his past life were intact. The eleven sword forms were etched into his flesh and bones, while the crimson blade, Demon Slayer Mark, and Transparent World were all sealed within his young body. There was only one thing he had to do: change everything before tragedy struck. The Hand Demon would be slain ahead of time. Rengoku would survive the Mugen Train. Shinobu would not perish alongside Doma after poisoning herself with seventy times the usual dose. And the boy with the Hanafuda Earrings would make his way to Mount Sagiri under Giyu's guidance, gripping his first wooden sword beneath a sky full of snow. But as Giyu overwhelmed every opponent with his crushing strength, a figure in purple began watching him with a curious gaze. “Mr. Tomioka, it seems you knew quite a lot from the start.” Shinobu Kocho's smile was as perfect as ever, so perfect that it reminded him of those afternoons in the medicine room in his previous life, when she tested medicines on him. He had never refused, and he had never said what he wanted to say. He had once been a Hashira who stood alone by the water, quiet and inarticulate. But in this life, he had decided he would no longer walk alone. He would develop Water Breathing into its Thirteenth Form, stand face-to-face with Muzan Kibutsuji, and, while everyone was still alive, tell her what he had been unable to say in his previous life.
