The trial. It was normal, right? Well, heres the story a little differently.

What if Tanjiro headbutted Sanemi harder?

Tanjiro was running towards Sanemi after he stabbed Nezuko through her box. He jumped up just as Sanemi went to swing his katana and harshly headbutted the Wind Hashira.

Both landed on the floor. Tanjiro got up, shuffling towards Nezuko's box — hands still tied behind his back.

Sanemi didnt stand. Large amounts of blood drippled from his forehead to the blood, staining it like a bloodshed.

Sure the brat would get a punishment. He just fucking injured a Hashira!..

Sanemi's head felt woozy. The Pillar collapsed to the ground from bloodloss.

Shinobu gasped, her hand covering her mouth. Mitsuri's laughinh quickly ceased, now worried about her fellow Hashira. Tengen unsheated his swords. Rengoku's smile slightly faded in surprise. Giyu remained indifference. Muichiro's gaze glanced at Sanemi before staring at Master Ubuyashiki for the next move. Gyomei's hand moved for his weapon. He could tell the atmosphere had darkened immensely. Obanai's eye twitched. Seriously? He spoke.

"He just assaulted a Hashira. Is that not also against the Corps Rules?"

He questioned, Kaburamaru slithering as he coiled around Obanai's neck.
