Will Demon Slayer Season 3 Have an Episode 12?

Demon Slayer has had a killer run near the end of the Spring 2023 anime season. With a strong and entertaining third season that pushes past the halfway point of the manga adaptation, fans are wondering if there’ll be anything more to Season 3 beyond what’s been announced. So the burning question for the season about a seemingly everlasting, blood-soaked night: will Demon Slayer Season 3 have an Episode 12?

Demon Slayer Season 3: Will There Be an Episode 12?

Demon Slayer Season 3 will not have an Episode 12 as Episode 11 is the planned finale for the Swordsmith Village Arc. Given that the episode has a 70-minute runtime, it’s unsurprising, as this would pace the episode well enough to adapt the manga up to roughly Chapters 126-127.

Will There Be a Demon Slayer Season 4?

That’s not to say they couldn’t add a new arc as a later cour, but it’s looking like additional Demon Slayer content will likely be considered Season 4, with the Hashira Training Arc onward. Considering the fanfare being rolled out for the Swordsmith Village Arc finale, including a Times Square takeover on June 17, 2023, the eve of the episode’s release, fans should expect to wait a bit longer.

As for whether Season 4 is happening, it is currently in production, and speculation suggests it’ll likely release sometime in 2024 or beyond. The Hashira Training Arc is clearly the focus of the next season, but it’s a rather short one encompassing 9 chapters of the manga.

It’s unclear whether Season 4 would then expand into the Final Battle Arc, namely Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown, but for now, fans can remain hopeful they’ll get a timely new dose of this excellent anime.
