There are a number of anime series about demon-slaying. In fact, there are almost too many. If someone forgot they were supposed to make an anime and had to scramble to put something together at the last minute, they would make it about demon-slaying.
It’s getting a little tiring when a new demon-slaying anime is revealed, but it’s precise because of this that the series that work is so effective.
Demon Slayer is one of the most delightful new anime releases in recent years, and it’s a welcome addition to Netflix’s expanding anime catalog.
The devotion to world-building in Demon Slayer is another reason for the anime’s success. In both the malevolent Twelve Demon Moons and the altruistic Demon Slayer Corps and the Hashira, the plot establishes significant groups of characters.
While it’s customary for anime villains to have a crew of opponents that they rotate between, Demon Slayer feels different, despite the fact that it’s technically true.
The Popularity of Demon Slayer
The Demon Slayer Blu-ray sold roughly 30,000 copies for the first season, according to the disc. Mugen Train, the movie, did even better, selling over 1,700,000 copies.
Demon Slayer Volume 23 sold 5,171,440 copies, an achievement that not even One Piece could match. I’m curious if we’ll ever see another collection with such a following.
As of 2021/02/15, the Demon Slayer collection had 150,000,000 copies in print. It appears to be one of the top eight most well-known manga collections of all time.
The fact that there are over 1150 figures is mind-boggling. This collection has also resulted in the production of nearly 19,500 pieces of products. Only about 1% of all anime collections receive more than this.
The Plot Of Demon Slayer Season 1
Demon Slayer kicks off with a bang, with the relatively meek Tanjiro Kamado transformed into a vengeful warrior after enduring the harshest type of testing by fire.
Tanjiro’s family is attacked by demons, who transform his sister, Nezuko, into one of their kind. When the recently orphaned Tanjiro meets a Demon Slayer, he vows to avenge his family’s death, assassinate any wicked creatures he discovers, and save his sister from her fate.
Season 2 of Demon Slayer continues where the film Demon Slayer: Mugen Train left off, adapting the manga in its episodes.
It adapts the fan-favorite Entertainment District Arc from the manga, which sends Tanjiro to Japan’s red-light district to track down a demon who has been spreading havoc.
Before anyone else goes missing, Tanjiro and a new buddy with a personal connection to the mystery must discover out what’s going on. Hashira’s backstory is also explored in greater depth in this season.
Will there be a Demon Slayer Season 3?
Yes, it has been confirmed that the show will be returning for a third season, it was announced shortly after the second season completed its run, we anticipate the release of Demon Slayer season 3 in 2023.
We had anticipated that Fall 2022 would be a distinct possibility, but in the COVID age, that would be nearly impossible to achieve.
If that’s the case, a Spring 2023 release (about April 2023) or a Fall 2023 release (September-October 2023) are all possibilities.
Having said that, Ufotable, the series’ animation studio, is usually highly consistent in its output. Demon Slayer premiered in the fall of 2019, and the Mugen Train film will arrive in Japan in the fall of 2020. In Fall 2021, the Mugen Train recap arc for Demon Slayer premiered on television.
If anyone can do the impossible, it’s Ufotable.
Demon Slayer Season 2 plot
The second season of Demon Slayer ended on Sunday, leaving fans with empty pits in their hearts who had been watching week after week. Rather than letting our exhilaration go away, we decided to do something about it.
Season 2 of Demon Slayer just ended, with seven episodes covering the Mugen Train arc and eleven episodes adapting the Entertainment District arc.
The anticipation didn’t really start off until Episode 8 when Tanjiro Kamado and his companions went into Yoshiwara, Tokyo’s red-light district, to pursue a demon, because the first half of the season recycled material from the Demon Slayer: Mugen Train film.
Or, as we later found out, a pair of devils. The ensuing battle featured beautifully choreographed fight scenes, great animation that outshined the movie, and dramatic turning points.
So, in the conclusion, “No Matter How Many Lives,” let’s take a look at how Demon Slayer closes up a great second season while also setting up future plots.
Plot Of Season 3 of Demon Slayer
The Swordsmith Village Arc is officially the third season of Demon Slayer. Don’t worry, we won’t give anything away about the source material, but we believe it will span chapters 100 through 127 of the manga. The Entertainment District Arc spanned a similar time period, from 70 to 99, so expect a 12-episode season, give or take a few.
Tanjiro should go to Swordsmith Village to receive a new weapon unless there are any substantial deviations. The community also happens to be home to an old weapon.
But the scenario involving the Love and Mist Hashiras, as well as a demon or two, isn’t entirely plain.
On a more general topic, the finale of Entertainment District gave us a hint as to where the show will most likely go after Demon Slayer season 3.
Tengen is no longer on the board, yet he is still alive and well. He advised Iguro that Tanjiro would be the most likely Hashira replacement. The Demon Slayers can then finally strike back at Muzan Kibutsuji, their ultimate objective.
Where Can you watch Demon Slayer?
Demon Slayer season 1 can be enjoyed by the fans on Netflix, whereas season 2 can be watched on Funimation, Hulu, and Crunchyroll before it airs on Netflix later this year or early next year, and the same goes for season 3 of Demon Slayer.
Cast Of Demon Slayer season 3
The Swordsmith Village arc cast will include Tanjiro (Natsuki Hanae), Zenitsu (Hiro Shimono), Inosuke (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka), and Nezuko (Akari Kitou).
Two characters we’ve already seen in the series, the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanoji, will be joining them.
In future seasons, expect to see additional Hashiras, as well as members of the Twelve Upper Moons/Twelve Kibuki.
Haruo Satozaki will direct, with Akira Matsushima handling the character design.
