Here are some of the highlights:
Tanjiro’s Journal – A Tanjiro-exclusive event that allows players to level up their character by completing missions. The event is divided into a Progress Journal and a Mission Journal, enabling players to progress and collect rewards individually.
Zenitsu and Inosuke’s Maple Expedition – Maplers can fight enemies together and, by accepting the target quest, earn the Master Label skills for Zenitsu and Inosuke. Once players have accumulated skills, they must defeat enemies near their level on the field. Every time 100 enemies are defeated, Zenitsu or Inosuke will appear and use the skill Beast Breathing Fifth Fang: Crazy Cutting to attack enemies on the field.
Mini-Games – Players can challenge the Demon Slayer Training Test and Kanao’s Coin Flip Challenge, both based on a scene from the anime. Reward items accumulate based on a cumulative score and the number of participants in the games. Note: The Tanjiro job character is not eligible to participate in these minigames.
Crunchyroll streams the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime and describes it like so:
It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself.
Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.
