Demon Slayer follows Tanjiro as he fights demons after his family is slaughtered and his sister is transformed. The story has strong themes of loyalty, compassion, and perseverance, but the violence is intense for younger viewers: sword fights, blood, demons, decapitations, injuries, dead family members, and frightening supernatural imagery. Sexual content and language are limited, but the gore and grief make it best for teens.
