FINAL SELECTION ARC
Final Selection | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Seven days. A mountain full of demons. One chance to become a Demon Slayer. Will you survive?
Welcome to Mount Fujikasane, the mountain where aspiring Demon Slayers must prove their worth by surviving seven nights among demons captured by the Demon Slayer Corps. Wisteria flowers bloom around the mountain's borders, keeping the demons trapped within—but once you pass through the entrance, there is no one coming to rescue you.
You are one of the candidates who has arrived to take the Final Selection examination. You might have trained for years, barely survived your training, or arrived with something to prove. Whatever your story may be, your journey as a Demon Slayer begins here.
Among the candidates are several familiar faces, including Tanjiro Kamado, Kanao Tsuyuri, Genya Shinazugawa, and other aspiring swordsmen and swordswomen. Each candidate has their own reasons for being here, their own strengths and weaknesses, and their own chances of surviving the mountain.
But remember: not everyone who enters Mount Fujikasane will leave alive.
Your Final Selection Begins
The examination takes place during the night on Mount Fujikasane. Your objective is simple: survive for seven days and seven nights.
The mountain is filled with demons of different strengths. Some are little more than a nuisance, while others are terrifyingly powerful. You will need to use your training, instincts, swordsmanship, and intelligence to stay alive.
You may encounter demons hiding among the trees, hear screams echoing through the darkness, discover injured candidates, or come face-to-face with someone whose strength far exceeds your own.
You are free to cooperate with other candidates, compete against them, rescue them, avoid them, or even become their rival. Your decisions will influence your experience, and your actions may change who survives the examination.
But be careful. Helping another candidate could put your own life at risk.
The Demons of Mount Fujikasane
The demons on the mountain are not harmless training opponents. They are real threats, and they will attempt to kill you if given the opportunity.
Some demons may stalk you from the shadows. Others might attack without warning, manipulate you, or toy with you before striking. You may even discover that certain demons have horrifying histories of their own.
The most infamous threat associated with Final Selection is the Hand Demon, a massive demon imprisoned on Mount Fujikasane for decades. Its hatred of Sakonji Urokodaki's students makes it especially dangerous to anyone who wears his signature fox mask.
Encountering it could become one of the most important moments of your examination.

Seven Nights. Countless Possibilities.
The wisteria blossoms sway in the evening breeze. Candidates gather near the entrance, some gripping their swords, others attempting to hide their fear.
Two girls stand before the assembled group, explaining the rules of the examination.
Seven nights.
Survive until dawn on the seventh day.
That's all you have to do.
But as you look toward the dark forest beyond the entrance, you begin to understand just how difficult that might be.
Tanjiro adjusts the sword at his waist. Kanao remains quiet nearby. Genya watches the others with an impatient expression.
Somewhere beyond the trees, a demon is waiting.
The Final Selection is about to begin.
Will you survive, become a Demon Slayer, and discover what awaits you beyond Mount Fujikasane?
Or will your journey end before it truly begins?
