EPISODE CONTEXT

Picking up directly from episode 21's fallout where Tanjiro's controversial actions put him at odds with Corps rules, 'Master of the Mansion' escalates the consequences by placing him and Nezuko before the highest authorities in the organization. Sitting at episode 22 of 26, this marks a critical pivot point in the season's final stretch — shifting from external demon threats to the internal politics and moral fractures within the Corps itself. It feeds directly into 'Hashira Meeting,' continuing a run of episodes that redefine the stakes heading into the season's conclusion.
