3. Demon Slayer season 2 (Mugen Train Arc)
If you’ve watched the Mugen Train movie, then you can skip episodes 27 to 33 of season 2. These episodes follow the same story as the movie. However, if you haven’t seen the movie, then you should watch episodes 1 to 7 of season 2, which continue the Mugen Train Arc.

Before the release of season 3, Demon Slayer released a movie called To The Swordsmith Village. This movie is a recap of the two final episodes of the Entertainment District Arc and features a new episode from the upcoming Swordsmith Village Arc.
