What will Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 3 cover?

The third season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba will adapt the ninth arc of the original manga, titled the Swordsmith Village Arc.

The original manga arc follows Tanjiro as he journeys to a village of swordsmiths to repair his Nichirin Sword following his climactic battle with the Upper Rank Six demons Daki and Gyutaro at the end of the Entertainment District Arc. The season will feature the appearance of the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, who were introduced in episode 21 of the first season.

Who will be producing Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 3?

Haruo Sotozaki, who directed the first and second seasons of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba as well as the feature-length film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, is set to return to direct the third season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Character designer and chief animation director Akira Matsushima is also set to return. Anime studio Ufotable will once again handle production duties for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc.

There’s a short teaser trailer covering the series up to this point

In April 2022, Crunchyroll and Ufotable released the first trailer for the anime. While most of the trailer is a recap of the show’s previous arcs, complete with old footage, it offers a few choice shots of the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, and Tanjiro wielding what appears to be a reforged Nichirin sword.

When will Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 3 come out?

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc will premiere in April 2023 on Fuji TV in Japan with a special one-hour premiere episode, according to an announcement made following a special Japanese TV broadcast of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train in December.

In addition, the premiere Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc will be preceded by worldwide screenings of “Demon Slayer: The Upper Ranks Gather and Onward to the Swordsmith Village,” a feature-length theatrical edit of the 10th and 11th episodes of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc and the first episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc, set to premiere in Los Angeles on February 18 and screen in over 1,700 theaters across the United States and Canada in March in both English-subtitled and dubbed versions.

Will Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 3 stream on Crunchyroll or Netflix?

It’s currently unknown which streaming service will secure the North American licensing rights to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc. Previous seasons of the series have premiered on Crunchyroll and Funimation, while the first season of Demon Slayer was added to Netflix shortly before the premiere of season 2.

Considering the merger of Crunchyroll and Funimation earlier this year, It’s likely that the third season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba will be simulcasted on Crunchyroll when it premieres in April 2023. However, we probably won’t get an answer to this question until a little closer to the show’s actual release.
