Demon Slayer season 3 release date was April 2023 and fans cannot get enough of it. Also, the popular anime came back in April 2023 with a brand new story based on the manga’s Swordsmith Village arc.
It continues the tale after the Mugen Train movie and the Entertainment District arc, both of which made Demon Slayer super famous. So far, it’s been fantastic with awesome fights, scary Kizuki, and interesting new characters. But if you need to catch up, here’s what you should know about Demon Slayer season three.

Demon Slayer season three started on Crunchyroll on April 9, 2023, following the same schedule as in Japan, where new episodes come out every Sunday. The Swordsmith Village arc began with a special hour-long episode, unlike the usual 20-minute ones, and it had an amazing prologue.
Moreover, the first episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season three also aired early in February and March during a global ‘theatrical screening event,’ similar to what happened with the Mugen Train situation, and it included episodes 10 and 11 of Demon Slayer season two. The plot is one of the best.
