Synopsis (Season 3):

Demon Slayer Season 3 takes us on a captivating journey into the heart of the mysterious Blacksmith Village, a place whose location has been kept secret for centuries by the Demon Slayer Corps. This village, home to the greatest blacksmiths, is essential to provide the Demon Hunters with the highest quality weapons, indispensable in their fight against the nocturnal demons and to ensure the safety of humans.

After his sword is damaged and rendered unusable, Tanjirou Kamado, accompanied by his precious little sister Nezuko, is escorted back to the village to receive a new weapon. However, their arrival coincides with an upheaval in the demon world: the death of a higher-ranking demon disturbs the precarious balance between the two worlds.

In the village, Tanjirou meets Muichirou Tokitou, the Pillar of the Mist, and Mitsuri Kanroji, the Pillar of Love. As he forges bonds with these powerful warriors, ferocious forces emerge from the shadows, threatening to break the Demon Slayers' last line of defense. The relative tranquility of Blacksmith Village is put to the test, as new enemies and challenges loom on the horizon.
