Kimetsu No Yaiba , known in the West and other regions as Demon Slayer , is undoubtedly one of the most popular manga and anime of recent years, which is why his film was an overwhelming success on all fronts . So, and after months of waiting, fans will finally be able to enjoy the second season very soon, although its premiere is more confusing than usual.
Specifically, Ufotable confirmed that the second season of Demon Slayer will begin on October 10 . However, on that day a 7-episode adaptation of the Mugen Train arc will begin, which fans could already visit in the most recent film.
Of course, fans have reasons to see that section again. The thing is, the first episode, which will air on October 10, will be completely new and will focus on a mission that Kyojuro Rengoku took before getting on the train. On the other hand, there will be 70 totally unreleased scenes, a new soundtrack, new musical themes and previews of what is to come.
When will Demon Slayer’s Entertainment District arc start?
Now, fans who have already seen the film and are eager to enjoy new content will have to wait until December 5, the date on which the Entertainment District arc of the manga will begin. Luckily, the wait will be worth it, as the first episode will be one hour long.
It seems that those responsible for the anime wanted to use the 7 special episodes that will adapt the Mugen Train arc to connect the end of the first season with the beginning of the second. It is undeniable that the above is a very controversial decision, since it has already caused the displeasure of a sector of the community.
Finally, Crunchyroll and Funimation will be the platforms that will host the new anime episodes in the West. The first season is now available on both services, as well as on Netflix.
