As the snow fell and the sun rose, Nezuko had woken up covered in snow. When she had opened her eyes, she saw the bodies of her dead family; Nezuko began sobbing over their deaths. Then a man with a sword in his hand started approaching her." Who are you," she said with tears. "I am Tomioka Giyu, and I am a demon slayer. Can you remember the demon who attacked you?" Nezuko, through her tears, looked at him like he was crazy until she remembered the dark figure that had killed her family. She explained as best she could but could only provide general information on her attacker. Nezuko wondered, "what are demons?" Giyu went into detail about the demon race and the demon slayers. Nezuko looked at Giyu with determination and anger. "I want to join the demon slayers." Giyu could see her rage and desire to avenge her family, so Giyu agreed to have her train as a slayer.
Giyu and Nezuko gathered the bodies of her family to be buried when she noticed that Tanjiro's body was not among the dead. So they both decided to search the area when they found the basket he was carrying to sell charcoal in the village below. Giyu thought it was strange that there was no trace of blood. He could only consider two possibilities; her brother was taken by the demon and devoured at a different location, or the demon that killed the family was her brother. However, he didn't have the heart to tell her what he was thinking. "It is possible that he was able to escape the demon and is recovering somewhere else. I will have some other corps members search for him." He placed a hand on her shoulder, hoping she could find some solace in his words.
Once they finished burying her family, Giyu sent a crow to his master Sakonji Urokodaki and instructed Nezuko to go there for her training. Nezuko, with determination, grabbed the hatchet and started her journey. She walked along the road until the sun had set. She decided to settle in a small house for the night when suddenly she was hit with a strong smell of blood. She opened the doors to find a man eating a family. The man then jumped at her with great speed and strength. She was able to slice his neck and pin his head to a tree while his body fell off a cliff. She then picked up a rock to smash the living head when the sun rose, and the demon disintegrated into dust.
"That is the fate of those who become demons." Nezuko turned to find an old man wearing a blue haori with a cloud pattern and a red tengu mask. "you were the one described in Giyu's letter. You wish to join the demon slayer corps?" "Yes, I wish to find the demon that killed my family." Urokodaki could see the determination in her eyes, but he could also smell the scent of rage and hatred. "Very well, follow me, and we will begin your training." Nezuko spent two years training her Water Breathing technique that she learned from Urokodaki and mastered with help from Sabito and Makomo. Now she was ready for the final selection.
Nezuko arrived on a mountain covered in wisteria. She met others participating in the final selection; there, Nezuko encountered many demons on the mountain. She sliced them without hesitation or mercy, with her rage fueling her strength.
As she ran hunting for more demons, she heard screams of other participants. When she arrived, she was met with a demon covered in arms devouring the corpses of other participants. "Another little fox has come." The demon said. Even she could see the twisted smile hiding behind those appendages. The demon recalled, "This makes you the fourteenth I will have eaten; the last two were especially delicious." The demon described in detail how he killed Sabito & Makomo.
