Giyu Tomioka vs Sanemi Shinazugawa

Giyu Tomioka vs Sanemi Shinazugawa was a sparring session that took place in Giyu's estate. It focuses on the training session between Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka, against the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa.

Prologue
The Demon Slayer Corps prepare themselves for their decisive battle against Muzan Kibutsuji and the remaining Twelve Kizuki, thus a Hashira training session was scheduled to enhance the swordsmanship abilities of the Hashira, and more importantly, in hopes of allowing as many swordsmen as possible to acquire the Demon Slayer Mark.

The session was scheduled in the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka's estate and wooden swords were used instead of regular ones in order to prevent any unnecessary incidents.

Battle
Sanemi immediately uses the Wind Breathing, First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter on Giyu which he blocks with his wooden sword, severely damaging it. Tanjiro can not believe his eyes when witnessing the real speed of the Hashira, despite him being able to read their movements.

Sanemi yells at Giyu and asks him what has happened to his swordsmanship, wanting him to believe that he is no different than the other Hashira. Giyu thus uses the Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide to retaliate against Sanemi. Sanemi dodges the attack and shouts that he is too slow. The two Hashira both charge up their respective Breathing Styles, with Sanemi using the Wind Breathing, Fifth Form: Cold Mountain Wind and Giyu using the Water Breathing, Seventh Form: Drop Ripple Thrust. After trading blows with their breathing techniques, the wooden swords of both Hashira break.

Aftermath
Sanemi cracks his knuckles and suggests to Giyu to continue their sparring using their bare fists, however, the battle was immediately interrupted by Tanjiro Kamado. Tanjiro proposes to the two Hashira to not beat each other with their fists and to eat some ohagi instead. This ticks Sanemi off as he believes Tanjiro is making fun of him and his likings, but Tanjiro is genuine of the offer. He notes that when he trained at Sanemi's estate he smelled matcha and ohagi. Giyu questions Sanemi if he actually likes ohagi to which Tanjiro agrees, saying that he loves his grandmother's ohagi.
