In this story, Yoriichi's swordsman skills are reincarnated into Tanjiro since birth. He has the same birthmark as him, and the rising sun earrings. Since he had lots of stamina ever since a small child, he started doing the Hinokami Kagura dance in...
As Tanjiro cut off the demon's head, he stood still looking behind him as the head rolled quite far. He was for some reason doubting himself.
I hardly felt anything....it felt too easy...almost like a trap...is this just a dream too? Or is he just weaker than Lower Moon 5 was?
"I truly understand how master felt when he ordered me to kill you..."
Tanjiro's eyes widened as he saw the demon's head still talking. What's more, he saw the head fuse and grow into the train. He absorbed it with his head lifting himself.

Tanjiro almost couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He isn't dying?!

The demon's smile only grew after seeing Tanjiro's face.
"There it is! That's the expression I wanted to see! Tee hee hee!! You want me to tell you why I didn't die even though you cut off my head, right? Very well. I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll tell you. It's so simple even an infant could understand it!
The demon looked behind Tanjiro to the slumped-over body that appeared to be the demon's main body.
"Because that's not my main body! The same goes for what you're talking to right now. It looks like my head, but it isn't! While you were deep asleep...I fused my body with this train!!!"
Tanjiro started sweating uncontrollably with what he was hearing. The demon fused himself with the train? Impossible. At least, that's what Tanjiro thought.
"This entire train...has become my blood, flesh, and bones! Heh heh heh!! Your face! Oh so delightful! Your beginning to understand now, aren't you? In other words...the 200 passengers are all food to strengthen me further!! They're my hostages!! Tee hee!
Tanjiro couldn't control his breathing. It got deep and heavy as the fear took over him.
