What to Expect in Demon Slayer Season 3?
Demon Slayer Season 3 has been one of the most significant seasons yet. The series follows Tanjiro as he heads to the swordsmith village to get his own sword fixed.

Despite not having his closest friends, Tanjiro has a few surprising allies, including the returning Genya Shinazugawa and two Hashira members, the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokiro and the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji.
As the fights continue, Demon Slayer Season 3 promises to deliver an intense and thrilling experience.
