Prepare for Demon Slayer season 3: The ultimate guide to watching KNY in order

Season 3 of Demon Slayer is set to release on April 09, 2023. This popular series has gained a massive following around the world, with its captivating storyline, beautiful animation, and memorable characters. Watching Demon Slayer in order can be a bit confusing for those who are new to the series. With several seasons and movies available, it can be challenging to determine where to begin. To address this, we've created a straightforward guide on how to watch Demon Slayer in the correct sequence.

Demon Slayer Season 1: The beginning of Tanjiro's journey

The first season of Demon Slayer is where it all began. With 26 episodes, it tells the story of Tanjiro Kamado, a young boy who becomes a demon slayer after his family is killed by demons. Season 1 is essential viewing and should be watched from start to finish. It introduces the main characters, sets up the story, and lays the foundation for what’s to come.

Demon Slayer Mugen Train: The movie and TV arc

Things get a little tricky when it comes to Mugen Train. Mugen Train is a movie that serves as a direct sequel to season 1, and it's also a crucial part of the story. However, the Mugen Train arc is also included in season 2, which is where it gets a little complicated.

To keep things straightforward, begin by watching season 1, and then selecting either the Mugen Train movie or the Mugen Train TV arc (episodes 27-33). Both options tell the same story, but the TV arc includes some extra scenes and a bonus episode that provides more backstory to one of the movie’s characters.

Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc

After the Mugen Train arc, Demon Slayer season 2 continues with the Entertainment District arc, which consists of 11 episodes. This arc introduces new characters and delves deeper into the world of demon slaying. We highly recommend watching this arc to get the full Demon Slayer experience.

Demon Slayer To the Swordsmith Village Movie

To the Swordsmith Village is a movie that serves as a bridge between season 2 and season 3. The latter includes episodes 10 and 11 of the Entertainment District arc and the initial episode of season 3, which covers the Swordsmith Village arc. While it's not essential viewing, it's worth watching if you want a sneak peek of the new season. (Also Read: Demon Slayer Season 3 & more: Must-watch anime of the second week of April 2023)

Swordsmith Village Arc: The next chapter in Tanjiro's story

Finally, we come to Demon Slayer season 3, which is also known as the Swordsmith Village arc. This arc adapts the next chapter in Tanjiro’s story and is set to air on April 9. It's not yet known how many episodes will be in this season, but we’re excited to see what’s in store for our favourite demon slayers.

Can you skip any episodes of Demon Slayer?

Demon Slayer doesn't have many filler episodes, which is rare for an anime series. While some episodes can be a little slow, we recommend watching everything to get the full experience. The only exception would be the Mugen Train arc, which can be skipped if you’ve already watched the movie recently.
