In this time, he trained Zenitsu alongside his other disciple Kaigaku who resented Agatsuma for taking their mentors time. One day, he took part in training where out of fear he hid in a tree as he feared dying from his sensei's tutelage. In that time, he had a panic attack when he was struck by lightning where he managed to survive with him finding that his hair turned blonde. Despite this, he continued his training to become a Demon Slayer where he and Kaigaku developed a mutual hatred of one another. Whilst this was the case, Zenitsu did respect his senior and his strong ambition where he desired to fight alongside Kaigaku as an equal with Agatsuma developing his own seventh form fighting technique. He later took part in the Final Selection at Mt. Fujikasane where he participated in the trial for recruits to be full-fledged Demon Slayers. He was among the four candidates to had passed the trial where he began to fear that he wold die one day. Around this time, the newly appointed Demon Slayers were given their Kasugai Crows though Zenitsu instead received a sparrow. They then chose the ores that they wanted for their respective swords. He then went about his travels where his fears over dying manifested in him asking a random girl to marry him. This was interrupted by the arrival of another Demon Slayer named Tanjiro Kamado who helped excuse the girl. Zenitsu then explained that he needed to get married before his next mission in case he died and begged Tanjiro to protect him until that time. It was in this time that Tanjiro came to learn of how Zentisu became a demon slayer.
After sharing a meal, the pair travelled south for their next mission where they arrived at a large house in the woods. Whilst there, Kamado smelled an unfamiliar scent whilst Agatsuma heard a strange sound. The pair then found two kids nearby named Shoichi and Teruko both of whom were frozen with fear. Tanjiro attempted to calm them down by showing them Zenitsu's sparrow where they explained that their brother had been taken by a monster where they tracked them to the house. Kamado then assured them that he and Zenitsu would rescue their brother and defeat the monster. Agatsuma then heard another sound after which a bloodied dead body fell outside the house where the siblings said that this was not their body.
