Demon Slayer’s first movie, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, rampaged in movie theaters worldwide, becoming the biggest anime movie of all time. Unsurprisingly, the Ufotable-produced anime adaptation has returned to the silver screen by not just bringing episodes from season two to theaters, but the first episode of season three as well. Now, fans in North America can visit theaters this weekend to take in the old and new adventures of Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba -To The Swordsmith Village-.
The last two episodes that make up this Demon Slayer film see the final fight against the demonic entity known as Gyutaro take place, with the Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui joining the young members of the Demon Slayer Corps in a bid to save the Entertainment District and its inhabitants. The battle which takes place is one of the biggest of the Shonen franchise to date, while also having big implications for the future of the Corps. In the first episode of season three which also makes up the film’s runtime, fans will be introduced to some of the demon lord Muzan’s top lieutenants, who are sure to cause some serious headaches for the Shonen protagonists in the future.
