Demon Slayer is one of the greatest shonen anime ever made. The manga is pretty decent in its own right, but the adaptation really places it in a class of its own. Ufotable is a master of their craft, with the Entertainment District arc being a visual spectacle. The fight sequences and amazing powers present in this storyline make it another brilliant highlight in the legendary run of this anime.
The latest season was a blast, with the battle against Daki and Gyutaro being positively epic. The Upper Rank Six duo was pretty tough to beat, but all the demon slayers managed to band together to put an end to this threat once and for all. With the Swordsmith Village arc confirmed for next year, here are some reasons to be excited about this adaptation.
8 Ufotable's Excellent Animation
One can argue that Ufotable's adaptation of Demon Slayer is largely responsible for turning this manga into such a worldwide phenomenon. This simple yet exciting shonen series comes to life with Ufotable's stellar visuals, which are full to the brim with detail.
The prospect of witnessing this studio breathe new life into the series once again during the Swordsmith Village arc is enough reason to look forward to the upcoming season. With the scope of each fight's epicness increasing with each arc, it's clear that Swordsmith Village is going to be a visual treat for the ages.
7 The Chance To See Muichiro Tokito And Mitsuru Kanroji In Action
The Hashira have quickly become the most interesting characters in the show. Giyu, Kyojuro, Shinobu, and Tengen are examples of demon slayers who have become legendary in the series, mainly due to their status as the Hashira.
So, it goes without saying that witnessing both the Mist and Love Hashira take on powerful demons in this arc will be a blast. After all, both Tengen and Kyojuro have provided viewers with plenty of entertainment as is, and both Muichiro and Mitsuru are pretty much poised to do the same!
6 Getting To Explore This Fabled Village
The Swordsmith Village was mentioned early on in Demon Slayer when the topic of reforging both Tanjiro and Inosuke's katanas was brought up. It's the place where talented swordsmiths like Hotaru Haganezuka reside in.
Exploring the place where Nichirin swords are made in Demon Slayer is a great way to expand on the series' lore. The fact that Tanjiro has had his fair share of hilarious encounters with Haganezuka means that there's already another thing to look forward to in this arc!
5 Seeing The Powers Of Both Hantengu And Gyokko, Two Upper Rank Demons

The Upper Rank Kizuki have been no joke, straight up killing one Hashira and retiring another. Their immense strength is not to be underestimated in the slightest, and the two Hashira in the Swordsmith Village arc will definitely have their work cut out for them when they deal with two more Upper Rank demons.
Hantengu and Gyokko are Upper Rank Four and Five demons respectively. Given how powerful both Daki and Gyutaro were, it goes without saying that these demons are going to be extremely powerful indeed. All the demon slayers in this arc will need to give their all to defeat this massive threat.
4 Getting To Know Muzan's Next Steps
Speaking of villains, it's impossible to not mention the immense allure of Muzan Kibitsuji. This demon's actions were responsible for sending Tanjiro down a path of despair that he clawed out of through sheer effort and will.
This villain has consistently proven to be one of the most entertaining parts of the show. So, it's easy to see why viewers love the idea of more scenes elaborating on this character's personality and his motivations.
3 Witnessing How Everyone Develops During This Arc
The show has already allowed for the three main demon slayers and Nezuko herself to attain a ton of power. The fact that they could hold their own against two demons of the Upper Rank Kizuki and cut their heads off is amazing.
It's clear that the sky's the limit for these characters, who are bound to develop at a heightened pace during this arc. As a result, the power-ups during these battles are going to be incredible to behold.
2 The Evolution Of The Hinokami Kagura Dance
The Hinokami Kagura Dance, also known as Sun Breathing, is one of the most unique Breathing Styles in the entire series. It's touted as the Breathing Style that every other variant branched out from, making it the most supreme and powerful Breathing Style around.
Seeing how Tanjiro wields this stance overtime is going to be quite engaging indeed. His natural inclination toward this legendary Breathing Style is one of the major reasons why he's bound to become the most powerful demon slayer in the series over time.
1 Letting Genya Shinazugawa Finally Share The Spotlight
The Entertainment District arc was pretty great in its own right, but there's no denying that the three main demon slayers along with the Sound Hashira enjoyed the most of this extended screentime. While this isn't the worst thing in the world, it does end up discarding some new and interesting characters, who were shown near the end of Season One.
One such character is Genya Shinazugawa, who seems like nothing more than an arrogant hothead at first glance. However, the fact that he shares his surname with the Wind Hashira already means that there's more to the character than he's letting on, and this arc will hopefully elaborate more on him.
