The Pillar Training arc comes to a heartbreaking end, with the members of the Ubuyashiki family, the founders and current leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps, being murdered.
This event marked the beginning of the Long Night showdown against the main villain, Muzan and his army of upper moon demons. This will be explained in detail in the Infinity Castle chapter. When a huge explosion occurs at the Ubuyashiki residence, all the pillars are burning with revenge. Their main goal is to continue fighting Muzan until dawn. Because the only thing that can kill him is the first light of day.
