Scent of Fate at Sky's End
As Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke head on to their next mission, a red vortex pops up taking the former two into another dimension and faces a boy name Lyle. They learned that Lyle was responsible for opening a pair of shrines to see his parents, only to get his sister abducted and drawing in aberrations.
The mysterious disappearances lead to Sierokarte recruiting the crew of the Grandcypher to the island Rayle, eventually crossing paths with the Demon Slayer Corps.
Tropes
- Crossover: With Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite wanting to damn the Sky Realm to destruction, he does have some heart when he's found to be following Lyle in the shadows, which he wouldn't do if he doesn't care about him.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Despite Bard losing his family, his indifference with others and his plans for world destruction gets called out multiple times.
- Let's Split Up, Gang!: After the crew reunites, they split up again to tackle on two different tasks. One team is to look into the shrine's powers and the other team is to bring Lyle home and interrogate Bard.
- Malaproper: Ryomen Sukuna states that causality drew the Demon Slayer Corps into the Sky Realm, which Inosuke misheard it as "cosmos tea".
- Saying Too Much: Even though Bard said that the stories he told are all folklore, he ends up proving that they were true after all by asking if the monsters were deformed, indicating that he saw them before.
- Unwitting Pawn: The Bard told the story about the shrines of Rayle being the gates to the Otherworld to Lyle and Elle, knowing the two wanted to see their parents again.
