This season will feature the Swordsmith Village arc from Koyoharu Gotoge‘s original manga. This part of the series will adapt 28 chapters (Chapters 100-127) from the manga. Entertainment District Arc covered a similar set of chapters (70-99). So this is again likely to be a 12-episode season. The original manga was first serialized in 2016 and came to an end in 2020 with 23 volumes. Ufotable is going to continue as the series’ animation company.
Demon Slayer Season 3 Plot
From heroic battles to gut-wrenching character backstories, Demon Slayer is loaded with compelling drama. The last season of Demon Slayer ended with Tanjiro and Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui beheading Gyutaro and Daki, the demonic siblings of the upper six members of the Twelve Kizuki. Amid the epic battle, Tanjiro shattered his unwavering demon-slaying sword.
