The highly-anticipated Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 3 is set to premiere this week, featuring the Swordsmith Village arc. But before diving into the new season, let’s have a quick recap of what happened in season 2’s Entertainment District arc.
1. Mission in Entertainment District
In this arc, the demon slayers worked with the pillar Kyojuro Rengoku, and this time, Tanjiro helped Tengen Uzui find his three wives. They infiltrated the Butterfly Mansion to gather information about Uzui’s missing wives. The search led them to face powerful enemies, including the Upper Moon One demon.
2. Upper Moon One, Daki
Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Uzui battled two of the Upper Moon demons, Daki and Gyutaro, in a fierce fight. While investigating the Oiran houses disguised as women, Zenitsu encountered Daki and was defeated while trying to protect her assistant. Tanjiro later uncovered Daki’s base and their captive victims. Uzui’s arrival helped subdue Daki, but they soon realized that the fight was far from over.
3. Daki’s Brotherhood with Gyutaro
After Daki’s decapitation, she called out to her brother, Gyutaro, to seek revenge. As it turned out, Gyutaro was much stronger than Daki, and even the mighty Uzui struggled against him. To defeat the siblings, the demon slayers had to simultaneously behead them.
4. Epic Battle at Entertainment District Arc
Despite having three demon slayers and one pillar, the group struggled to defeat the Upper Moon demons. The battle between Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Uzui against the powerful demons created some of the most epic moments that resonated with the audience until 2023.
5. The Retirement of Pillar Uzui
Gyutaro’s attack has left Uzui with a severe injury. With one arm and eye missing, he decided to retire from the Demon Slayer Corps. Obanai Iguro opposed his decision since the organization had already lost the pillar of fire, Rengoku. He believed the demon slayers were in crisis and needed them now more than ever. The decision resulted in the loss of the seventh-pillar and a weakened corps.
It’s understandable if these details slipped your mind since it’s been more than a year since the second season aired. But with the recap, you’re now ready to delve into season 3’s Swordsmith Village arc. Let the demon slaying adventure continue! Tune in to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 3’s premiere on April 10 at 10 am (UTC+7).
In summary, the Entertainment District arc of Demon Slayer season 2 includes a mission to find the missing wives of Tengen Uzui and a battle against powerful demons, Daki and Gyutaro. In conclusion, the arc’s epic moments continue to resonate with the audience, especially with the retirement of pillar Uzui.
