Imagine this: Tanjiro, instead of trekking through foggy forests with a katana, is hopping off a crowded Shibuya train, smartphone in one hand, Nichirin blade in the other.<\/p>\n

Nezuko\u2019s tucked into a designer backpack instead of a wooden box, and Zenitsu\u2019s livestreaming his anxiety breakdowns on Twitch.<\/p>\n
