Gyomei Himejima has arrived getting between Kokushibo and Sanami, Tanjiro and Muichiro. Now five Hashiras along with Nezuko and Genya are facing the strongest Upper Rank.
Gyomei: Shinazugawa, stitch up your stomach wound right now. Tokito, Tanjiro, defend him with all your might. I will be confronting this monster.
Tanjiro: No, Gyomei. Let me deal with him. Somehow my body feels the urge to fight him.
Gyomei looks at Tanjiro and sees the determination in his eyes. Gyomei knows that Tanjiro and Koksuhibo have some unfinished business. Gyomei walks back to help the others as he turns to him.
Gyomei: Good luck.
Tanjiro: *Nods*
Gyomei walks back to the others as Tanjiro and Koksuhibo glare at each other.
Koksuhibo: *Sword pose* I have been waiting for many years for this.
Tanjiro: *Does the same* Then let's end this in a one-on-one fight.
Everyone in the background watches as Tanjiro and Koksuhibo dash at each other and clash blades. Tanjiro then switches the position of his blade and goes to cut his neck.
Tanjiro: Hinokami Kagura-Dance!
Kokushibo then blocks the attack in time as slashes him with a Dark Moon, Evening Palace. Tanjiro counters the attack by using his Burning Bones, Summer Sun.
Kokushibo(Mind): It seems he has gotten used to my attacks and mastered my brother's technique at the same time. No matter. Moon Breathing-Third Form: Loathsome Moon, Chains!
Kokushibo makes two slashes that travel to Tanjiro while having a crescent follow them. The attack hits Tanjiro but it turns out to be an afterimage.
Tanjiro: Hinokami Kagura-Fake Rainbow!
The Upper Rank Looks up and sees Tanjiro above him.
Tanjiro: Hinokami Kagura-Clear Blue Sky!
He makes a circular swing with his blade covered in flames. Kokushibo blocks it in time which shocks Tanjiro.
Kokushibo: Not bad, but not good enough either.
Tanjiro gets pushed away as he lands on the ground and keeps his sword up.
Nezuko(Mind): He's not messing around or understanding Onii-chan. And on top of that, he doesn't leave much room for any opening.
The Upper Rank blitzes to him and swings his sword at ht him. Tanjiro reacts quickly and moves but gets grazed on the cheek again.
Kokushibo: Your speed is remarkable.
Tanjiro: *Breaths in*
Kokushibo: Hm?
Tanjiro covers his blade on fire and runs at him and gets up to his face and delivers a downward slash.
Tanjiro: Hinokami Kagura-Flame Dance!
Tanjiro was able to slash Kokushibo's face which shocked him including everyone else.
Nezuko: Yes! He got him!
Ginyu: Let's not celebrate too soon.
Gyomei: Right. This is only just the beginning of the fight.
Tanjiro started slashing the Upper Rank repeatedly as Kokushibo was blocking some of them while regenerating his face.
Kokushibo: Though you look like him and have the same techniques, you still pale in comparison to Yoriichi.
Tanjiro: Yeah that might be true, but I've got something you don't have.
