The film takes place inside the realm that shelters the demon king, Muzan Kibutsuji. Muzan\u2019s soldiers are his Upper Ranks, who battle the demon slayers in the ever-shifting structure of the castle in epic battles. Each battle is personal. The first is between Shinobu, a poison expert who takes on Doma, a demon with fan-weilding powers. As their face-off unfolds, it\u2019s revealed that Doma killed Shinobu\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t In another realm, Zenitsu takes on Kaigaku, a former disciple-turned-demon.
