The episode is an hour-long premiere, and could shape up to be a more anticipated release event than the recent film! We’ll get to see what’s in store for Tanjiro, Tokito, Genya, and more!
Along with this season’s premiere, we’ve got some teases for the Upper-Rank demons to feature for the series. Gyokko and Hantengu are among the first to feature in the arc, which begins in Chapter 98. The arc runs for 30 chapters until #127, and if the series is to adapt the full manga, there are only 2 remaining arcs after that. Be sure to tune in for Demon Slayer season 3 upon its release, it’s been a total treat ever since episode 1!
