Tanjiro Kamado and Giyu Tomioka vs Akaza is a battle that takes place in the Infinity Castle, between Demon Slayer Tanjiro Kamado and the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka against Upper Rank Three Akaza.
Tanjiro and Giyu are running in the castle, trying to find Muzan Kibutsuji and Tamayo. They have just heard about the death of Shinobu Kocho at the hands of Upper Rank Two, Doma. Suddenly, a tremor appears, shaking both the Demon Slayers. Tanjiro recognizes a familiar smell and the roof above them breaks, revealing Upper Rank Three, Akaza. Akaza is surprised that a 'weakling' like Tanjiro is still alive and shouts his name, with Tanjiro screaming his name in return. The fight between the three begins, a way for Tanjiro to avenge the death of the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, a man Tanjiro admired with all his heart, who died at the hands of the Upper Rank.
As Akaza advances, Tanjiro dodges his punch and uses the Hinokami Kagura: Fire Wheel on Akaza and, with considerable effort, severs the Upper Rank's arm. As Tanjiro tries to recover, Akaza attempts to behead Tanjiro with a back-fist punch which Tanjiro dodges and counters with the Hinokami Kagura: Fake Rainbow managing to create a long cut on Akaza's face. Looking at this fight, Giyu is quite amazed and surprised by Tanjiro's sudden and quick improvement, comparing his abilities to that of a Hashira. Akaza remembers Kyojuro's words about Tanjiro not being weak and accepts it as a fact, deciding to acknowledge him by activating his Technique Development, Destructive Death: Compass Needle and indicating the start of the real battle.
Giyu enters the fight, immediately using the Water Breathing, Third Form: Flowing Dance. Akaza is instantly impressed as it had been 50 years since he ran into a Water Hashira. He uses his Destructive Death: Disorder, a flurry of punches that produce giant shockwaves, which Giyu negates using his own creation, Water Breathing, Eleventh Form: Dead Calm. Akaza remarks that he had never seen this technique used by the previous Water Hashira he last fought. While Tanjiro tries attacking from behind using the Hinokami Kagura: Raging Sun, Akaza appears from behind and attempts a backhand chop but Giyu cuts his attacking hand with the Water Breathing, Second Form: Water Wheel. As Giyu attacks the Upper Rank, Tanjiro tries to trip Akaza by using the Hinokami Kagura: Flame Dance on his legs, however, he is countered by his Destructive Death: Leg Type, Crown Splitter.
Even though Tanjiro is able to block the technique, he is hit hard enough to spit blood. Akaza continues to battle Giyu and is impressed by the Hashira's swordsmanship, asking for his name. Giyu refuses and Akaza replies that he would ask again and again and kicks him with his Destructive Death: Leg Type, Explosive Flurry, launching him through various walls to another side of the castle.
Akaza figures out the Water Hashira's name after Tanjiro shouts for him when he is blasted away by Akaza's previous attack. Tanjiro and Akaza attack each other with the Hinokami Kagura: Burning Bones, Summer Sun and Destructive Death: Eight-Layered Demon Core, respectively.
Akaza praises Tanjiro's improvement and claims that Kyojuro did an amazing job, pleased with his death. This enrages Tanjiro and prompts Akaza to give his philosophy of how he hates the weak and wishes they were eliminated. Tanjiro retorts by saying that even Akaza was once a child and that someone had helped him. He continues by stating the strong should aid and protect the weak and he wouldn't let Akaza do as he pleased any further.
Tanjiro's words shakes Akaza as he feels restless and memories of Keizo appear, saying to him the same words. Akaza brushes it off and realizes it was but a hallucination. Angered, he claims Tanjiro to be unpleasant and uses his Destructive Death: Crushing Type, Ten Thousand Leaves Flashing Willow and becomes much faster as Tanjiro attempts to dodge. The demon surprises Tanjiro and kicks him with his Destructive Death: Leg Type, Flying Planet Thousand Wheels, making him cough up more blood. He compares Akaza's precision to that of a magnetic compass and begins to think and deduce using the demon's moves and words.
Tanjiro dodges another kick by Akaza and attacks him with the Hinokami Kagura: Solar Heat Haze, Akaza manages to avoid the technique. However, a considerable portion of his neck is sliced and he expresses amazement, asking Tanjiro how he swung his blade. Tanjiro attempts to use the Hinokami Kagura: Dance, but the sword is clasped in Akaza's hand and he attempts to break it.
Tanjiro uses headbutts and kicks, trying to make Akaza loosen his grip despite the demon not budging. Luckily, his hands got cut by Giyu, angry about the deadly kick Akaza gave him previously. Giyu's senses awaken and a mark appears on his face.
