In Episode 6, Tanjiro and Zenitsu head to Himejima's training ground in the mountains, where they reunite with Inosuke and Murata. Tanjiro begins his training with waterfall meditation, struggling against the cold and weight of the water. The story progresses from there. The released scene cuts depict Zenitsu exhausted from training, Tanjiro undergoing training, Inosuke eating fish without his mask, and Himejima showing off his muscular build. Additionally, in the scene cuts from the upcoming Episode 7, Himejima can be seen shedding tears.

The "Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc" covers episodes from volumes 15 to 16 of the original manga, where Tanjiro and his friends undergo training from the top-ranking swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Hashira, to become even stronger.

Set in the Taisho era in a world plagued by man-eating demons, the story follows Tanjiro Kamado, a boy whose family is killed by demons and whose sister Nezuko is turned into a demon. To avenge his family and restore Nezuko to human form, Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps and embarks on a journey.
