Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train recap
Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke and Nezuko board the Mugen Train, where dozens of passengers have disappeared, and meet the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, who is investigating. The Lower One demon Enmu puts everyone on board to sleep with tickets that trap them in dreams. Tanjiro dreams of his family alive, but realises it is false and wakes by killing himself in the dream. Enmu has fused with the train itself, making every carriage his body and two hundred passengers his hostages. While Rengoku, Zenitsu and Nezuko guard the carriages, Tanjiro and Inosuke find Enmu's neck in the engine and behead him, and the train derails. Rengoku keeps the passengers alive and treats Tanjiro's wounds.

Akaza, Upper Rank Three, arrives and urges Rengoku to become a demon. Rengoku refuses and fights him until dawn. Akaza drives a fist through his body, and Rengoku holds him in place, but Akaza tears himself free and flees the sunrise. Rengoku dies smiling, telling Tanjiro to set his heart ablaze and that he accepts Nezuko as a member of the Corps. Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke weep.
