The Plot of Demon Slayer Season 3
The third season of Demon Slayer’s plot will focus on the Swordsmith Village arc, as was previously rumored based on the Crunchyroll teaser. According to FuThat, the upcoming anime episode will cover chapters 100 to 127 of the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, the source material for the TV show.
In the Demon Slayer manga, the Entertainment District arc, which was a part of season 2, is immediately followed by the Swordsmith Village arc.
For those who are unfamiliar with the previous chapter of the anime, Further Tanjiro, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, and the other six members of the Twelve Kizuki—the demonic twins Gyutaro and Daki—were beheaded at the end of Demon Slayer’s previous season, making history.
The Demon Slayer gang not only shook the uppermost levels of the demon king Muzan Kibutsuji’s inner circle, which had been unshakeable for aeons, but Tanjiro also broke his trusted demon-slaying sword during the epic battle.
According to the video, Tanjiro and his companions will also be traveling with the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji and the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito. So perhaps, with the aid of the knowledgeable Demon Slayers, all of our heroes will survive their escape from the Swordsmith Village.
