Ah, Demon Slayer! It’s no secret that fans of the franchise are eagerly anticipating the premiere of season 3 in April 2023. This upcoming season promises to adapt the Swordsmith Village arc from the manga, which has left many fans hyped up with excitement. However, there seems to be some confusion among fans about which specific manga chapters the Swordsmith Village arc covers. As someone who has read many mangas myself, I can understand the importance of clarity and accuracy when it comes to adapting the source material. So, let me see if I can help clear things up for you.
Demon Slayer: How many chapters does Season 3, Swordsmith Village arc cover
The Swordsmith Village arc includes 30 chapters in the Demon Slayer manga, from chapter 98 to chapter 127. As a treat for eager fans, the season premiere will be a one-hour special episode, adapting the first three chapters, which are chapters 98 to 100.
The Demon Slayer -To the Swordsmith Village- the movie also showcases this arc. The movie includes the last two episodes of the Entertainment District arc and the first episode of the Swordsmith Village arc.
Since the Kimetsu no Yaiba: Entertainment District arc consisted of 11 episodes and covered 28 chapters, it’s reasonable for fans to anticipate that the third season will be of similar length. This is especially true when considering that the Swordsmith Village arc has a comparable number of chapters, totaling 30.
The Swordsmith Village arc is the ninth arc in the Demon Slayer manga, and it’s followed by three more arcs. This means that fans can expect at most three additional installments in the series, although the format of these installments has yet to be confirmed.
What to expect from Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc?
In the Swordsmith Village Arc, Kamado Tanjiro embarks on a journey to the Swordsmith Village with his sister Nezuko in tow. His goal is to get his sword fixed, which has been repeatedly destroyed in his battles against demons. However, upon arriving at the village, he discovers that the swordsmith who created his weapon, Hotaru Haganezuka, has refused to repair it due to its frequent damage.
To get his sword repaired, Tanjiro had to travel to the village and explain how it had been so badly damaged. While he waits for the repairs to be completed, two formidable enemies, Upper Moon Four Hantengu and Upper Moon Five Gyokko, infiltrate the Swordsmith Village. Their goal is to halt the production of Nichiren Swords, the only weapons capable of killing demons like themselves. Tanjiro finds himself in a race against time to protect the village and its inhabitants from these powerful foes.
The good thing is, Tanjrio and Nezuko have two Hashiras on the premises – The Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, and Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji. While Muichiro Tokito faces the two demons, Mitsuri Kanroji fights off their minions.
With two powerful demons to fight, Muichiro Tokito finds himself in need of additional support. Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya step up to assist him in the battle, working together to take down formidable enemies.
