The Eternal Paradise Arc (Demon Slayer)

Sometime after defeating Upper Moons Gyokko and Hantengu, Tanjiro Kamado awakens from one of his usual comas. While the demon slayers prepare for the upcoming Hashira Training Program, Tanjiro recovers quickly and is assigned a solo mission: to investigate a region in the mountains where people have been going missing for years.

Assuming Muzan Kibutsuji's forces are recuperating, Tanjiro gladly accepts, hoping to save more innocent lives from everyday demons. It doesn't take long for him to stumble upon a society known as the Eternal Paradise Faith.

Disclaimer: This is an attempt to capture the writing style of Demon Slayer and its creator, Koyoharu Gotouge. While it may not reflect my personal storytelling style, my goal is for it to feel like a legitimate 8-12 episode Demon Slayer arc. That said, I include my own writing style flair and take ownership of any original characters and the plotline itself. Please also note that there is some overlap between this arc and a couple of others, specifically the Swordsmith Village and Hashira Training arcs.

OR: Taking on another Upper Moon so soon? Tanjiro was seeing stars just thinking about it.

AKA, Tanjiro gets trapped within Douma's cult and must strategically fight his way out. And yes, the Tanjiro vs. Douma fight will probably end exactly how you think it will. And no, I will not be killing our main protagonist.
