Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 7: Recap

At the beginning of the episode, we see Tanjiro using his full strength to move the rock, which motivates Inosuke to successfully push it as well. After succeeding in his task, Himejima shows up to refresh Tanjiro with some water. This leads to a very wholesome moment between the two of them where Himejima says he will always acknowledge Tanjiro because he is a special and selfless kid. Tanjiro struggles to understand the reason behind Gyomei's certainty, which makes the Stone Hashira reveal more about his past.

We then see the tragic backstory of Himejima. He was raising orphans in a temple hidden deep in the forest. Even though they lived in poverty and he had to skip meals so that the kids could have food, all of them lived happily together. That was until one night when a kid did not return home before midnight and came across a demon. To spare his life, the kid offered Himejima and the other eight orphans to the demon. He led the demon to the temple, extinguished the burning wisteria flower incense that was protecting the place, and let him in.

The demon killed seven of the orphans before Himejima managed to kill him with his own hands. However, Himejima was later framed for the murder of the kids but was saved thanks to Ubuyashiki. This was one of the saddest stories in the show and showed how pure and loving Himejima's heart is since, even though he was wronged, he still understood why young children would behave the way they did.

After completing his training with the Stone Hashira, Tanjiro was allowed to continue. When he went to say his final goodbye to Zenitsu, he asked him if everything was okay since he was acting strange. We then see Zenitsu, who is typically a scaredy-cat and avoids working hard, unnaturally focused and quiet. This certainly had to do with the strange message that he received. Zenitsu is now determined to do something that "he specifically has to do."

Tanjiro arrives at his next training destination where he sees Giyu and Shinazugawa battling against each other. Their spar looked amazing with their cool abilities and skillful attacks. Thinking that they are seriously fighting, Tanjiro tries to calm them down and asks if they are fighting over ohagi, which Shinazugawa loves so much. The Wind Hashira gets angry over Tanjiro's comment about him loving sweets and leaves, but Giyu is determined to get along with him.

After leaving, Shinazugawa notices a strange presence behind him. He turns around and squishes one of the eyes that Upper Moon Four, Nakime, sent out to spy on the Corps. He realizes that they have been infiltrated.

The one who approached them was none other than Kibutsuji Muzan himself. He finally finds Ubuyashiki's whereabouts and the two of them are now face-to-face. The episode ended in this shocking moment that left us all speechless. Muzan's entrance was honestly awesome! Now we have to suffer a whole week before seeing what happens next.
