Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Season 01
S01E03 - Sabito and Makomo
Tanjiro trains to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, being told that he must pass Final Selection to be recognized as one. He undergoes 1 to 1.5 years of harsh and strict training on the mountain, including learning about the “Total Concentration” and “Water Breathing” techniques. With everything to know laid out, Urokodaki gives Tanjiro one final task to allow him to partake in Final Selection, to slice an immense boulder. After another six months of failing to make a dent, he starts to lose hope when he is suddenly attacked by a fellow swordsman, Sabito, who criticizes him for his weaknesses. Another swordsman, Makomo, helps to train Tanjiro more, revealing that they both are former students of Urokodaki. Six more months of training conclude with a final spar, where Tanjiro successfully strikes Sabito. As the two commend him for his success and vanish in a haze, it is revealed his slash had actually sliced the boulder in half.
