In this episode, I reflect on Episode 1 of Season 1 of the anime *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba*, titled **"Cruelty."**

The tragedy that struck Tanjiro, the bond with his sister Nezuko, and the sudden appearance of Giyu — it was filled with powerful, emotional moments where feelings clashed.

How did you feel in that moment when your heart wavered?

Let’s take a moment to savor the lingering echoes of this powerful story together.

Original story by Koyoharu Gotouge, directed by Haruo Sotozaki, animation by ufotable.

The first season of the TV anime aired in 2019, with a total of 26 episodes.
