In Episode 1, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps, sent a letter to Tanjiro Kamado regarding Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira. While the full contents of the letter were not disclosed to viewers, it did inform Tanjiro that Giyu Tomioka would not be participating in the Hashira Training program.

Therefore, in the second episode of the upcoming Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc, it is likely that Tanjiro Kamado will seek out the Water Hashira to discuss his concerns. This is further supported by the title of the episode, “Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka’s Pain,”indicating that it will delve into Giyu Tomioka’s past and the struggles he has endured.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki had previously sent his messenger crow to Tamayo in the anime. His knowledge of Tamayo’s research led him to seek her collaboration with the Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho on studying Nezuko Kamado’s resistance to sunlight.

Keeping this in mind, the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps extended an invitation to Tamayo, the demon, to visit the Ubuyashiki Mansion with the intention of forging a partnership with Shinobu. Tamayo was taken aback upon receiving the invitation. Therefore, in the second episode of the upcoming Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc, we may see Tamayo’s response and Yushiro’s thoughts on the matter.

Demon Slayer: Could Episode 2 of the Hashira Training Arc Reveal the Absence of Shinobu Kocho?

In the previous episode of Demon Slayer, Tengen Uzui, the former Sound Hashira, disclosed the roles assigned to each of the Hashira for the training program. Although the absence of Giyu Tomioka from the training has sparked conversation among the Hashira, the same cannot be said for Shinobu Kocho, who was not involved in the training program.

Considering this, it is possible that Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc episode 2 will uncover the reason for Shinobu’s absence from the training program and why no one has questioned it. It is likely that her absence is due to her ongoing research, although this has not yet been confirmed by the anime.
