Tanjiro hadone goal—wake upeveryonestill trapped in Enmu’s nightmare.

Zenitsu hadone goal—stop havingterrifying dreamsthat includedNezuko running off with another man.

Inosuke hadone goal—HEADBUTT THE TRAIN INTO OBLIVION.

And Rengoku?

"UMAI! LET US SLAY THIS DEMON WHILE PROTECTING THE PASSENGERS!"he declared,devouring another bento box mid-sentence.

The entire trainshook violently, throwing people around like ragdolls.

"Oh, for crying out loud,"Raja muttered from the shadows. Still in stealth mode, hecasually lifted all the passengers with telekinesisso they wouldn’t break theirfragile, human necks.

And yet,not a single person noticed.

Becauseall hell broke loose.

While Tanjiro hurried towake the remaining passengers,Zenitsu finally confronted Enmu.

Thetentacle-faced nightmare demonslithered out of the shadows, his voicesyrupy with smugness.

"Ahh, you should have just stayed in your dreams, little warrior. A world where Nezuko truly loves you~"

Zenitsu’seye twitched.

Hisblood boiled.

Hisbrain shattered.

"HOW DARE YOU BRING UP NEZUKO-CHAN LIKE THAT?!"Zenitsuroared,full rage mode activated.

Theair cracked with electricityas Zenitsuripped through Enmu’s fleshy train-like body,beheading him instantly.

Splat!

Enmu’shead hit the ground... and smirked.

"Oh, dear. Did you think that would kill me?"

Zenitsufroze."...Why are you still talking?"

Enmucackled, hishead dissolving into mist.

The trainrumbledagain.

"I am the train now,"Enmu cooed."You’re all riding inside my stomach~"

Zenitsuvisibly gagged."THAT IS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD—"

And then,tentacles exploded from the ceiling.

Zenitsu let outa manly scream(totally not high-pitched) as hedodged franticallythrough the slithering mess.

Meanwhile, Insoukegrinned.

"AH! THEN I SHALL SLICE THE TRAIN TO PIECES!"

Tanjiro grabbed hisarm immediately."NO! We need to protect the passengers!"

Inosukenodded."THEN WE SHALL SLICE THE TRAIN CAREFULLY!"

Tanjirosighed."Sure... let’s call it that."

WhileZenitsu screechedhis way through thetentacle maze, Rengoku and Tanjirofought to protect the passengers.

Inosuke?

Inosuke washaving the time of his life.

"AHHH! A TRAIN DEMON?! FINALLY, A WORTHY OPPONENT!"he howled,swinging wildly at the fleshy walls.

"INO— NO, STOP!"Tanjiro yelled."YOU CAN’T JUST SLASH EVERYTHING!"

"WHY NOT?! THIS IS A DEMON, RIGHT?!"

Rengokufacepalmed.

"JUST FIND THE DEMON MAIN BODY! THEN SLAY THE DEMON NECK!"

Inosukefroze mid-swing.

"Oh... right."

Hedramatically knelton the ground,pressing his hands into the floor.

"BEAST BREATHING, SEVENTH FORM: SPATIAL AWARENESS!"

Hisnostrils flared. Hismuscles tensed. Hisbrain—well, what little was there—worked overtime.

"THE NECK IS IN THE ENGINE ROOM!"he bellowed.

Rengokubeamed."AH! THEN WE SHALL CHARGE!"

Zenitsu, still battlingtentacle hell, perked up.

"THE ENGINE ROOM?! WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO?! I’M ON IT!"

Zenitsubecame a blur.

Hebulldozed his way through the trainatinhuman speed,cleavingthrough tentacles like they weremere cobwebs.

Passengersscreamed in terror.

"WHAT IS THAT?!"

"IS IT A LIGHTNING BOLT?"

"NO, IT’S A SCREAMING YELLOW LIGHTNING BOLT!"

Enmu’sremaining flesh body quivered.

"NO! STOP HIM!"

Zenitsu reached theEngine Room, hiseyes burning with fury.

Heleaped into the air blasting the roof of Engine room, his swordcrackling with power.

"THUNDER BREATHING, FIRST FORM... GOD SPEED!"

BOOM!

Zenitsuripped through Enmu’s neck like a meteorite,slicing cleanly through.

Thetrain quaked, letting out afinal, agonized shriek.

Enmuwailed.

"NOOOOOO! HOW CAN A PATHETIC, TERRIFIED COWARD LIKE YOU DEFEAT ME?!"

Zenitsupointed his sword downward.

"I MAY BE A COWARD, BUT AT LEAST I’M NOT A TRAIN FETISHIST!"

Enmu:"..."

And then—

Poof.

Enmucrumbled into ash.

Butthe train was still crashing.

Rengokudashed forward, flames roaring.

"FLAME BREATHING, SECOND FORM: RISING SCORCHING SUN!"

Hisblade ignited,slicing throughthe remainingdemonic flesh, preventing further damage.

Tanjirofollowed his lead.

"SUN BREATHING: BURNING BONES, SUMMER SUN!"

Aspiraling, fiery slasherupted from his sword,disintegratingthe last remnants of Enmu’s control over the train.

And Inosuke?

Inosukeheadbutted the control panel.

"TAKE THAT, TRAIN BEAST!"

Tanjiro:"THAT’S NOT HOW TRAINS WORK, YOU LUNATIC!"

Meanwhile,Raja, still unseen, watched theliteral disasterunfold.

"Tch, amateurs."

With a flick of his fingers, heused telekinesisto gentlyslow the train down, ensuring itderailed safelywithout casualties.

Passengersmiraculously landed safelyin the grass, all of them dazed but unharmed.

Peoplelooked around, confused.

"We... we survived?"

"Wow... I always knew Demon Slayers were amazing!"

Rajasmirked from the shadows.

"Yes, yes, credit the children. I’ll just be over here, being an unsung god, as usual."

Zenitsucollapsed into the dirt.

"I... am never getting on a train again."

Inosukejumped onto the wreckage.

"I HAVE SLAYED THE METAL BEAST! BOW BEFORE ME!"

Tanjirosighed, helping up the passengers.

Rengokustood tall, hands on his hips.

"A GLORIOUS VICTORY! NOW, LET US CELEBRATE WITH—"

Everyonebraced for it.

"—BENTO BOXES!"

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosukecollectively groaned.

And somewhere in the distance,Raja laughed.
