It would be impossible to talk about some of the most popular modern shows around without giving due props to Demon Slayer. This recent shonen property burst onto the scene and wowed fans with its wonderful animation, thought-provoking story, and amazing fights that truly showcase just what Ufotable is capable of when it takes over the reins.
The release of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train wowed fans once again, with this movie quickly rising up the ranks and becoming the highest-grossing film in Japan. With the popularity of this series reaching new heights, it's easy to see why so many people are eagerly awaiting the second season of this amazing show. Here are some things that viewers should be aware of when it comes to Season 2 of Demon Slayer.
7 The Second Season Will Cover The Entertainment District Arc
The Entertainment District arc is one of the more interesting in Demon Slayer. It expands upon the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui's backstory by making him embark on a mission aided by the main trio of the anime — Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke.
The spectacular fights that lie in wait for anime fans are poised to become the stuff of legends sooner rather than later. While some people might argue that this hype is unfounded, Ufotable is a reliable studio that is bound to continue animating works of art that will stand the test of time.
6 It Will Release By The End Of This Year
People who were eagerly anticipating the release of Demon Slayer's second season don't have to speculate anymore. Demon Slayer's second season has received an official release date of December 5th, meaning that fans only have to wait for a few months to witness this new season in all its glory.
Even after finding out the release date, the wait is still going to be an agonizing one. Demon Slayer is one of the biggest anime in the modern generation, and a large number of fans all over the world are eagerly waiting for Tanjiro's redemption story to witness some closure.
5 There Will Be A Prequel Expanding On The Events Of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train
Before the second season comes out, there's been an announcement that the events of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train will also receive an anime series adaptation of its own called Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc TV. This season will span seven episodes and is meant to bridge the gap between the end of the first season and the start of the second one for people who haven't watched the movie.
It's an interesting creative decision to take, and this choice is certainly somewhat confusing. However, no one is really complaining about this given the fact that they'll be able to witness more Demon Slayer goodness!
4 The Mugen Train Arc Will Debut In Mid-October
Most people would assume that Demon Slayer's newest chapter would continue on from its first season in chronological order and finish right after the Entertainment District arc is over and done with. However, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc TV has received a release date of its own — October 10th.
While it's possible that the release of all seven episodes will merge seamlessly with the start of the Entertainment District arc, fans are still wondering why this announcement was made in such a convoluted manner. Does this mean that the Mugen Train arc will technically be Season 1.5? Only time will tell.
3 There's A Brand New Episode That Focuses On Events Before The Movie
Of course, even the announcement of the Mugen Train TV version has left fans elated, mainly because of the promise of new content that will flesh out the stories in the series, which led to the Mugen Train mission in the first place. The biggest talking point of this entry is the fact that there'll be a brand new episode that will take place before the events of the movie!
Manga fans might be aware of what happens, but anime-only watchers will definitely be looking forward to a more fleshed-out Mugen Train arc that didn't have to be truncated to fit the limits of the movie. Of course, the prospect of finding out more about Demon Slayer's story is also a huge bonus.
2 Any Info On Which Platforms Will Stream Season 2?
People will have no shortage of streaming services to check out Demon Slayer on. At the moment, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc TV has been announced for Funimation, Hulu, and Crunchyroll.
Crunchyroll has confirmed it will be streaming Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc. The second season will also be available through Funimation. At the moment, those platforms are the ones confirmed to be airing Demon Slayer season 2.
1 Daki And Gyutaro Will Make Their Appearance In This Season
After the disappointment that Muzan had to deal with when Rui was defeated, the Demon King wasted no time in removing any other liabilities. He destroyed all the other members of the Lower Kizuki, with Enmu being the only one that escaped his wrath.
The Entertainment District arc will mark the debut of Daki and Gyutaro in the anime, who share the Upper Rank 6 position in the Twelve Kizuki. The brother-sister duo are extremely lethal, and fans can't wait to see how the Sound Hashira and the three budding Demon Slayers will tackle this imposing threat.
