Tengen Uzui serves as the Sound Hashira and a pivotal mentor during the Entertainment District Arc. He guides Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke through a deadly mission against Upper Rank demons, teaching them that survival is the ultimate form of coolness. Tengen's arc is defined by a near-fatal battle against an Upper Rank demon where he sacrifices his left arm and eye to save his subordinates. Despite these severe injuries, he survives, marking him as one of the few Hashira to live through such a grueling encounter. He retires as the Sound Hashira after losing his left hand and eye in the fight against Gyutaro.
