Demon Slayer is a story following a young boy named Tanjiro Kamado, who experienced the death of his family at the hands of a demon. With the only survivng member of his family, Nezuko Kamado, having been turned into a demon herself, Tanjiro was inspired to take up the blade and find a way to turn her back. This started his journey towards becoming a Demon Slayer.

Along this journey, Tanjiro learns special techniques known as Breathing Styles, which bolstered his fighting ability. In particular, Tanjiro became specialized in Water and Sun Breathing, which allowed for him to combat some of the most powerful demons out there. This included Muzan Kibutsuji, the elusive demon king who slaughtered Tanjiro's family.

There are very few Pillars around at one time, and each specializes in one specific Breathing Style, some of which they themselves have created. In order to become a Pillar, one must first either have defeated 50 demons on their own, or be responsible for the defeat of one of the Twelve Demon Moons.
