Demon Slayer: Why Did Muzan Kill Tanjiro's Family?
The following contains major spoilers for the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga, by Koyoharu Gotouge, available in English through Viz Media.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba started off the way any great story does: with the brutal slaughter of an entire family comprised mostly of children. When Tanjiro Kamado returned home to find most of his family dead and his sister Nezuko turned into a demon, he made it his life's mission to track down the demon responsible.
A few years later, after Tanjiro had joined the Demon Slayer Corps, he encountered Muzan Kibutsuji while visiting the city of Asakusa. It was there that Tanjiro confirmed by Muzan's scent that he was the demon who'd massacred the Kamado family. But why did the Original, Progenitor and King of Demons decide to butcher some random family living in the mountains?
