The Swordsmith Village arc, covered in Demon Slayer season 3, corresponds to chapters 98-127 of the manga. This means we can expect around 11-12 episodes in this arc. Without delving into spoilers, the story thus far explores the aftermath of the battle at the Entertainment District. Tanjiro’s recovery takes place at the Hashira headquarters, while Muzan Kibutsuji dispatches his Upper Rank demons, Gyokko and Hantengu, on a new mission.
Zenitsu and Inosuke embark on separate missions, while Tanjiro, accompanied by Nezuko, visits the Swordsmith Village to repair his sword. There, he encounters the Love and Mist Hashiras. Noteworthy events include Mist Hashira Muichiro training with a mechanical doll, Tanjiro unlocking a new scent detection ability with the help of swordsmith child Kotetsu, and the revelation of a centuries-old sword hidden within the doll.
However, the tranquility is short-lived as Upper Rank demons Hantengu and Gyokko invade the village. Hantengu’s ability to split into multiple personas poses a significant challenge, while Gyokko’s assault puts Kotetsu and Mist Hashira Muichiro in danger. Tanjiro discovers that each of Hantengu’s personas represents an emotion and attempts to turn the tide with the aid of Nezuko and Genya. Love Hashira Mitsuri joins the battle when all hope seems lost.
Later episodes highlight Muichiro’s search for a new blade, his encounter with Gyokko and the disturbing art featuring deceased Swordsmiths, and his eventual imprisonment in a pool of water. Tanjiro’s power increases as he harnesses his sister’s demon blood, allowing him to behead three of Hantengu’s personas. Genya’s transformation into a demon adds further complications, but he ultimately aids in slaying Hantengu. However, challenges persist as Sekido, Hantengu’s anger demon, attacks Tanjiro, leaving him wounded.
The cast of Demon Slayer season 3’s Swordsmith Village arc includes familiar characters such as Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Nezuko. However, Zenitsu and Inosuke take more supporting roles in this season. Joining them are new characters like the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanoji, and Kotetsu, who trains Tanjiro.
Notable demons in the cast include Kokushibo, Hantengu, and Gyokko, who serve as the primary antagonists of the Swordsmith Village arc. Akaza, Doma, Nakime, and their leader Muzan Kibutsuji also make appearances in the first episode of the season.
