The final episode of Demon Slayer’s Entertainment District Arc recently aired and not only that,
a new season was announced. It's been confirmed that Ufotable is currently working on the third
season of Demon Slayer, also known as the "Swordsmith Village Arc." This video will be
going over everything we know so far, as well as a possible release date for this season.
Some visual artwork was also included alongside the announcement. It features two important
characters of this arc: Mitsuri Kanroji, the love Hashira, and Muichiro Tokito, the mist Hashira.
As for the release date, it has not been confirmed so far, so all we can do is speculate.
The Entertainment District Arc includes 29 manga chapters and 11 anime episodes, and the Village
arc includes 27 manga chapters, which is very similar so we can expect 11 to 13 episodes.
However, rumors are going around that there could be up to 26 episodes.
The reason for this is because the next arc is extremely short with only 8 chapters.
And while the Village arc has slightly less chapters, there is much more content
to animate since there’s multiple fights and not just one big fight.
With this information it’s also very possible for there to be around 14 to 16 episodes for
the Village arc, and a few more episodes covering the Hashira Training Arc. However, this is just
a theory because I don’t see them making a movie or a whole different season for just 8 chapters.
If there’s more episodes it’s possible for the show to start airing sometime
during Summer and Fall 2023. Let us know what you guys think down below.
But how long did we have to wait from Mugen Train to Entertainment District?
It was announced in February 2021 and the first episode was released in 10 months later in December 2021.
With this information we can expect that the Village arc will start airing in Fall 2022
and at most we will have to wait until Winter 2023. Demon Slayer has previously only dripfed
us information, meaning they will reveal more information slowly as time goes on.
Now, when can we expect a trailer? The trailer for the Entertainment District Arc was released
5 months after the announcement, so we can expect something similar
in Summer 2022. Who are the two characters in the teaser artwork and what is this arc about?
I will be giving a short synopsis on what happens and keeping spoilers to a minimum.
I will be mentioning what characters appear and the fights that will happen,
but I will not be going in-depth on the plot. I will tell you what you can expect
from the first episode. This is your spoiler warning, if you want to go in completely blind,
then you can click off this video now. Thank you for watching this far, I appreciate it.
Anyways, Tanjiro travels to the Swordsmith Village to replace his sword
because Hotaru Haganezuka is tired of repairing it. Upon arrival,
he is taken directly to the chief of the village. He reveals to Tanjiro that Hotaru went missing not
so long ago. He then brings Tanjiro to the hot springs of the village, to help his body heal.
At the hot springs, he meets Mitsuri Kanroji, the love hashira
and fellow demon slayer, Genya Shinazugawa. After spending some time with Mitsuri,
she tells him that there's a secret weapon hidden in the village that makes people stronger.
After walking around in the forest for a short while, he meets the mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito.
He's in the forest as he wants to get stronger by training using a battle doll for practice.
With the help of tanjiro, the doll is defeated and it reveals a 300-year old sword. At night,
a random swordsmith who finished bathing saw a vase and tried to have a look at it but then
turns out there was a demon inside, Gyokko, Upper Rank Five and Hantengu, Upper Rank Four
begun their plan to destroy the whole village.
The main fights that happen at the start of this arc include: Tanjiro,
Nezuko, Genya, and Mitsuri Kanroji vs Hantengu and Muichiro vs Gyokko.
