What will happen in Demon Slayer season 3 episode 2?
The next episode is titled Yoriichi Type Zero. It is also the title of the 103rd chapter of the manga. The upcoming episode will introduce Tanjito to the training model of Yoriichi, the ancestor of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Initially, Tanjiro will be seen confusing the fighting model for a real person as he is still unaware of the history of the Demon Slayer Corps. The episode will also introduce him to the second key Hashira of the season, Mist Hashira aka Muichiro.
Yoriichi is an important part of Demon Slayer‘s extensive warrior history. Yoriichi and Tanjiro have some connection as indicated throughout the series. The upcoming episode will see Tanjiro begins training with the legendary model. According to the manga, the event will eventually lead to the discovery of the 300-year-old hidden sword.
What happened in Demon Slayer Season 3 first episode?
Demon Slayer Swordsmith Village Arc premiered from where the Entertainment District Arc left off. It showcased Tanjiro travelling to the swordsmith’s village in search of a new Nichirin sword and ending up meeting Love Hashira aka Mitsuri.
The episode also probed into past events a little more through a dream-like phase of Tanjito, hinting at the connection between him and Yoiichi. It also saw Tanjiro recovering from his injuries alongside his friends before leaving for his new journey with Nezuko.
Muzan was shown having a meeting with his Upper Moon about the beheading of the Upper Rank 6, Daki, and Gyutaro. Gyokko, Hantengu, and the Upper One, Kokushibo were also introduced in the episode.
How many episodes are there in the third season?
The upcoming season adapts the Swordsmith Village Arc from the manga series. Those who have read manga know that the arc covers 28 chapters (99-127). Though not confirmed, we expect another 11 or 12-episode season and not a huge 26-episode run like the first season.
