Demon Slayer Season 3 Starts This Sunday

Just so you know: the next chapter of one of the world’s most popular modern shonen, Demon Slayer, starts this weekend. Technically the full name is “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” because apparently just saying “Demon Slayer” causes trademark issues with something else. But we’re going to just call it Demon Slayer because we’re fearless like that.

If you were watching the previous arc, Entertainment District, you know Tanjiro and his buddies nearly got their buns handed to them. What if the next threat is even MORE powerful? What they need is more training. They’re heading to the Swordsmith Village for what’s officially been dubbed the Hashira Training Arc.

At the Village, Tanjiro and his friends will train under the eight Hashira: Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, Insect Hashira Shinobo Kocho, Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro, Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa, Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejama, and Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka. Both director Haruo Sotozaki and animation director Akira Matsushima will return to oversee the production, alongside anime studio Ufotable.

To the Hashira Training… The members of the Demon Slayer Corps and their highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira. In preparation for the forthcoming final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, the Hashira Training commences. While each carry faith and determination within their hearts, Tanjiro and the Hashira enter a new story.

Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc will begin with the double-sized episode that premiered in theaters last February, followed by regular-sized episodes each week afterward. The premieres will be in Japanese, with an English dub to come later (exact date has yet to be announced). Check it out on Crunchyroll this Sunday.

The Entertainment District arc kept me on the edge of my seat, so I can only image what awaits Tanjiro and the gang in the Hashira Training Arc. Training with the Hashira may sound intense, but it is exactly what they need to prepare for the final battle with Muzan Kibutsuji. I'm really excited to watch Mitsuri Kanroji in action, as she's one of my favorite characters. I can't wait to return to the world of Demon Slayer this Sunday!

Ufotable back on animation duty? Sign me up! Their work on Demon Slayer is next-level. The fight scenes in the Tengen Uzui battle were insane. Can't wait to see what they do with the Hashira. Each one has a unique fighting style, so the training sequences should be visually stunning. Plus, the chance to learn more about the Hashira's backstories? Intriguing!

Double-length premiere episode, huh? Nice! Hopefully, it sets the tone for the rest of the season. A little bummed the English dub is delayed, but the subtitled version will have to do for now. Just gotta avoid spoilers on social media! This series is too good to have anything ruined. Time to stock up on snacks and clear my weekend schedule. Demon Slayer marathon, here I come!

Excited for season 3, but I'll probably wait for the English dub. My Japanese is rusty, and I don't want to miss any important details. Plus, the voice acting in Demon Slayer is phenomenal. In the meantime, I might reread the manga chapters covering the Hashira training arc. Just to hold me over until the dub comes out.

Ah, Demon Slayer, a true gem in the world of modern shonen. I've been following Tanjiro's journey closely, and I must say, the prospect of the Hashira Training Arc has me intrigued. It's always fascinating to see characters undergo rigorous training to reach new heights of power. Plus, with the return of director Haruo Sotozaki and animation director Akira Matsushima, I have no doubt that the animation quality will continue to be top-notch. Count me in for the double-sized premiere this Sunday – I'll be there with popcorn in hand!

Demon Slayer Season 3, here we come! As someone who's been hooked on the series since day one, I couldn't be more excited for what's to come. The Entertainment District arc left me wanting more, and now, with the Hashira Training Arc on the horizon, I'm eagerly anticipating the next chapter of Tanjiro's journey. Training under the Hashira is sure to push our heroes to their limits, but I have faith that they'll emerge stronger than ever. Bring on the action, the drama, and the feels – I'm ready for it all!

The Entertainment District arc had some seriously intense moments, so I'm curious to see how the stakes will be raised in the Hashira Training Arc. Training under the Hashira is no joke – it's bound to be a grueling test of strength and determination for Tanjiro and his comrades. But hey, if anyone can rise to the challenge, it's them. I'll definitely be tuning in this Sunday to see how it all unfolds.
