Demon Slayer season 3 release date

The new episodes are released weekly on Crunchyroll in the UK – check out our Demon Slayer season 3 release schedule for full details.

Crunchyroll is simulcasting the episodes, meaning they are available to watch at the same time as they air in Japan.

What is Demon Slayer season 3 about?

Demon Slayer season 3 follows the Swordsmith Village Arc. The manga is officially finished, so fans wanting to know all the spoilers can find out what's set to happen — but we won't reveal them here! There are some plot points already public knowledge and therefore free to discuss!

Season 3 will see Tanjiro and the others venture to meet Hotaru Haganezuka in order to repair his sword after it was broke into pieces during his last battle with the Kizuki.

The Entertainment District arc brutalised our beloved antagonists so a low relaxing journey is exactly what they need. However, it's not long before several upper rank demons attack the group head. With no weapons to defend themselves, it's a run or die situation.

Characters like Tanjiro (Natsuki Hanae), Zenitsu (Hiro Shimono), Inosuke (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka), and Nezuko (Akari Kitou) are all set to return.

Aguilar recently opened up about his personal connection to anime and how that's influenced his voice acting, telling The Gamer: "I pull a lot of my style of acting for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba in general from my childhood, growing up with popular anime and listening to the performances of the voice actors that worked on those shows."

Meanwhile, Hanae admitted that he previously worried that he would lose his voice after working on the Mugen Train movie, telling Anime News network: "I was concerned that everyone might lose their voices, since we all recorded with so much seriousness and intensity.

"There were numerous battle scenes with lots of background noise, and Tanjiro had his voice raised the whole time. There were also many scenes where he was going through a rollercoaster of emotions, so this time I prioritized showcasing those emotions in my acting."
