Demon Slayer Season 3 Plot: What will happen in Demon Slayer Season 3?
The third season of Demon Slayer will focus on the Swordsmith Village arc, the ninth arc of the original manga.
It’s worth noting that the Demon Slayer manga officially ended in 2020, providing a unique situation for anime fans where they can find out (roughly) what the future holds for Tanjiro and the gang.
The Swordsmith Village arc begins directly after the Entertainment District arc, ending with Tanjiro and Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui defeating the demon brothers Gyutaro and Daiki.
Luckily, the only permanent casualty of this epic battle was Tanjiro’s demon sword.
In the third season of Demon Slayer, Tanjiro will travel to the Swordsmith Village to have his sword repaired by Hotaru Haganzuka.
While Tanjiro and company will of course be surrounded by hordes of demons (including an Upper Rank Six that splits into multiple bodies). Fortunately, Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, steps in to handle the threat.
Satoshi Hino (Rengoku) was able to identify the key to the worldwide success of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (via AnimeNewsNetwork).
An official trailer for the third season of Demon Slayer has been released, which you can watch below, along with the show’s release date. The trailer is more of a tease than anything else, but it shows off some of the series’ signature action and gives us our first look at the Love and Mist Hashiras.
