Demon Slayer Season 3 Presents a Touching Tribute to Rengoku

Check it out:

In episode 9 of Demon Slayer, Muichiro finally defeats Gyokko , the Upper Moon 5, by cutting off his head. Shortly after the fight ends, young Kotetsu , who had been fatally stabbed in the chest, appears and reveals his alright condition. He claims he survived because the hilt of Rengoku's sword protected his chest.

Tanjiro handed the hilt to Kotetsu, asking him to add it to his new sword. As soon as the Mist Hashira saw the sword's hilt, Muichiro was immediately reminded of Rengoku in a touching scene. Although he was already dead, the scene shows that the Flame Hashira still holds considerable influence over his comrades.

Synopsis:

After defeating Upper Moon 6 in the Entertainment District, Tanjiro must travel to the Blacksmith Village to forge a new sword, as his old one has been damaged. However, along the way, he encounters new demons sent by Muzan, the main villain, with a mission to kill the blacksmiths. Without the blacksmiths, the hunters will have no swords to fight the demons. So Tanjiro and his friends must fight the demons of the Upper Moons again to stop them.

Thus, the first season of Demon Slayer premiered in April 2019 , becoming a hit with the film. The second season premiered on December 5, 2021, in Japan. Finally, the third season premiered on Crunchyroll following the release of the film To the Swordsmith Village – World Tour on February 2 in Japan.
