You somehow end up lost in Japan, having little to no memory of your life before or any understanding of the land and people here. But you meet extraordinary individuals who, over time, become very important to your new life as you travel and fight...
With the arrival of the flamboyant Hashira, Tengen Uzui, comes a high-stakes mission that thrusts you and your companions into the heart of the bustling, glamorous Yoshiwara district. As tensions rise, you face not only external threats but also internal conflicts, all while gearing up for an impending clash with a formidable Upper Rank demon.

▹ Takuan or takuan-zuke (沢庵漬け), is a pickled preparation of daikon radish—a mild-flavored winter radish typically characterized by its fast-growing leaves and long, white, napiform root. The pickled version has a vibrant yellow color, and when sliced into strips, it resembles French fries [or Zenitsu's hair; as it will be mentioned later in the chapter lol.]

The day had dawned crisp and clear, the first hints of autumn touching the landscape with shades of gold and russet.
The air was cool but not yet cold, carrying the scent of falling leaves and the promise of a change in season. The sun, still low in the sky, cast a warm glow over the Butterfly Mansion as you and your companions prepared for the journey ahead. Yesterday had been a whirlwind, with Uzui suddenly announcing the mission to the Entertainment District. You'd barely had time to catch your breath before being swept along in his grand plans. It took some convincing—and reminding—on your part to get Uzui to realize that you and your friends needed to prepare properly before setting off. After all, the mission was important, and you wanted to be fully ready for whatever lay ahead.
Now, as the morning light bathed the Mansion in a soft glow, you felt a mix of excitement and apprehension.
Uzui stood at the entrance, his imposing figure silhouetted against the morning light. Even in the early hours, he was as flamboyant as ever, his various rings and adornments catching the sunlight in flashes of gold and silver. His presence was commanding, but there was also a sense of anticipation in his stance. This mission clearly meant a lot to him, and you could tell he was eager to get started.
"Are you all ready?" Uzui's voice boomed, breaking the morning's tranquility.
You and your companions nodded in unison, each of you carrying your own thoughts and worries about what was to come. Tanjiro stood to your left, his expression calm but focused, while Zenitsu fidgeted nervously to your right. Inosuke, as always, was brimming with energy, his excitement barely contained as he shifted from foot to foot.
Uzui nodded, a satisfied grin spreading across his face. "Good. The Entertainment District awaits. Let's get moving and make this mission a flashy success!" Uzui called out, his voice carrying a mix of command and excitement. "We've got no time to waste!"
As you and your companions set off for the Entertainment District, Uzui's energy was palpable. His flamboyant confidence was matched only by his incredible speed. The moment he took off, he moved like a blur, his white hair trailing behind him like a comet. You, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke were left in a frantic scramble to follow him as Uzui took off.
