Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 2 picked up from the ending of episode 1 and saw Jinta now pursuing demons within the bustling city of Edo. An elderly merchant named Juuzou hired Jinta, following which he was briefed on the entire situation. Zenji, Juuzou's employee, revealed how Jinta was supposed to exterminate the demon that was supposedly haunting Natsu, Juuzou's foster daughter.

Zenji went into detail about how Juuzou's wife was killed by demons, and his son ran away from home due to a demon as well. This resulted in Juuzou adopting a daughter while harboring a resentment towards demons.

Jinta later deduces that Natsu's feelings of insecurity regarding her adopted status, alongside her yearning for Juuzou's attention, gave rise to the demon. Eventually, Natsu overcomes her deep-seated emotions while Jinta slays the demon for good.

Jinta later slays the demon's remnants, which were the manifestation of Juuzou's wife, who hadn't moved on to the afterlife. The next day, Jinta pays respect to Natsu and Zenji and leaves. The episode ends with Zenji enquiring about why Juuzou had so much faith in Jinta. Juuzou reveals that a parent doesn't need a reason to have faith in their children
