    What is Mount Fujikasane?<\/span><\/h6>\n

    Mount Fujikasane is where the final selection for joining the Demon Slayer Corps takes place. Captured demons are confined here, unable to escape due to the wisteria flowers that bloom year-round, which demons despise. The condition for passing the final selection is to survive for seven days on this mountain.<\/p>\n
