Demon Slayer Season 2 Entertainment District Arc Preview Trailer
New characters were introduced in a new teaser for Entertainment District Arc released on November 28 by the Demon Slayer franchise. Tengen Usui will be in charge of the next mission after the flame Hashira departure.
Based on the renowned manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, The Demon Slayer is a popular anime. There were 26 episodes of the first season, which was released in 2019.
As the story unfolds, we learn about Kamado Tanjiro, a young man whose family was massacred by demons and whose sister was turned into one by the demon king. He embarks on a mission to find a cure for his sister, while also learning how to combat demons and gaining new friends along the way.
In October 2020, the movie Demon Slayer: Mugen Train (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Kydai no Kizuna) was released. It was a huge hit, quickly surpassing $400 million, making it the highest-earning anime and Japanese film ever.
The Mugen Train’s enormous success prompted Funimation to create a seven-part TV series, which premiered on October 10. It delves deeper into The Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku’s storyline.
Demon Slayer Season 2 Story Details
Season 2 of Demon Slayer picks up soon after The Mugen Train. The Mugen Train miniseries will serve as a precursor to the major story in the second season. The story will move to Yoshiwara, Japan’s famed red-light district, for the Entertainment District arc. Tengen Uzui and the Sound Hashira will hunt infamous demons in Yoshiwara. Daki, one of the Twelve Kizukis, will be a major opponent in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’s Entertainment District Arc.
The characters will have to contend with the loss of Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, personal demons as well as actual ones, while deepening their relationships.
The official trailer for Demon Slayer season 2 was presented on Kimetsu-Sai Online: Anime 2nd Anniversary Festival.
