In this article, we would like to discuss the most exciting arcs in Kimetsu no Yaiba. Without further ado, let's get straight to the point here!
10. Tsuzumi Mansion Arc
Tsuzumi Mansion Arc is a very important meeting moment for Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. The three of them were involved in a fierce battle against a demon named Kyogai in a mansion.
When they first met, the three of them might not really get along, especially Inosuke who was stubborn and liked to do whatever he wanted. However, they later became good friends that one could rely on.
9. Final Selection Arc
As an opener, this arc presents the story of Tanjiro's early journey as a demon hunter. He trained very hard under Urokodaki Sakonji's tutelage. In addition, he must pass a very dangerous entrance exam selection.
Tanjiro has to face the Hand Demon who is very cruel and hates Urokodaki. Hand Demon has a defense that is difficult to cut. However, Tanjiro manages to finish him off with all the determination and strength he has.
8. Asakusa Arc
One of the key moments in the Asakura Arc is Tanjiro's first meeting with the demon lord named Muzan. For Tanjiro, the meeting was very emotional. However, he didn't move at all at that time.
Tanjiro is basically very lucky because he can still survive after meeting Muzan. He was indeed hunted by Muzan's subordinates named Susamaru and Yahaba. However, they are not a big threat to Tanjiro.
7. Mount Natagumo Arc
Mount Natagumo Arc centers on the battle of Tanjiro and his friends against the spider demons on Mount Natagumo. The group of demons is led by one of the Underworld Demons named Rui.
Rui is a very difficult opponent for Tanjiro to face. Interestingly, Tanjiro recalled his family's secret technique when he was in a desperate situation. He also issued the Hinokami Kagura technique aka Sun Breathing for the first time.
6. Hashira Training Arc
As the name implies, the Hashira Training Arc focuses on training demon hunter troops guided by Hashiras. The training was designed with the aim of strengthening the demon hunter squad so they can defeat Muzan.
Each Hashira has its own training method according to their characteristics. Even though this arc does not present a dominant battle, the storyline of this arc is very interesting to enjoy.
5. Swordsmith Village Arc
As a result of the life and death battle against Daki and Gyutaro, Tanjiro was in a coma for a while until he regained consciousness. Not long after that, he too wanted to train again until he was interested in visiting a sword-making village.
However, Tanjiro's visit to the village turns disastrous after Gyokko and Hantengu attack the sword-making village. Together with other demon hunters, he must defeat them both and protect the village.
4. Entertainment District Arc
Entertainment District Arc presents a very fierce conflict between Tengen, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke against the Upper Moon Demons named Daki and Gyutaro. Their battle was so fierce that they caused great damage in the battle area.
Daki and Gyutaro can be considered as unique demons because they are both brother and sister. They can only be defeated when their heads are slashed at the same time. To achieve that, Tanjiro and his friends have to fight really hard.
3. Mugen Train Arc
Mugen Train Arc is one of the best and most exciting arcs in the story of Kimetsu no Yaiba. This arc focuses on the journey of Tanjiro and his friends on the Mugen Train. In addition, they were accompanied by a Hashira named Rengoku Kyojuro.
There are two battles that are the main focus in this arc, namely the battle against Enmu and Akaza. Tanjiro and his friends did manage to defeat Enmu, but they suffered a major defeat after Rengoku was killed by Akaza's deadly attack.
2. Sunrise Countdown Arc
As the closing arc, the Sunrise Countdown Arc presents a very exciting and tense battle climax. The demon hunters must fight to the last drop of blood to destroy Muzan.
Muzan is indeed overpowered and very difficult to beat. He can only die when exposed to sunlight. Because of that, the demon hunters must face Muzan and buy time until the sun rises.
1. Infinity Castle Arc
According to the writer, the Infinity Castle Arc is arguably the best and most exciting arc in the story of Kimetsu no Yaiba. This arc presents a series of fierce battles between demon hunters and Upper Moon demons, such as Akaza, Doma, and Kokushibo.
Their battles are not only exciting and thrilling, but they also present emotional moments. For example, we can see the sacrifice of Lord Oyakata and Akaza's very tragic and sad past.
