Demon Slayer S3E1: Muzan summons Upper Moons to Infinity Castle, Tanjiro meets Love Hashira at Swordsmith Village

Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 1, which premiered on Sunday, March 23 at 11:15 pm JST, is one of the most highly anticipated anime episodes of the year. Fans of the series were excited to revisit Koyoharu Gotouge’s world of demons and hashiras, and the episode did not disappoint.

One of the highlights of the episode was the introduction of the Swordsmith Village arc, which will cover chapters 98 to 127 of the manga. This arc is set to be a major storyline in the anime, and viewers got their first glimpse of the secluded and mysterious village when Tanjiro visited after his battle with Upper Moon Daki and Gyutaro.

The episode also brought viewers up to speed on what was happening with the demons, as Muzan summoned the other Upper Moons to the Infinity Castle to strategize their next moves. The dynamic between the upper demons was interesting to see, as none of them seemed to be fond of each other. Upper Moon Three Akaza was particularly hostile towards Upper Moon Two Doma, and their interactions provided some tense moments.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 1 was the introduction of the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji. Tanjiro meets her while he is on his way to the Swordsmith Village, and she proves to be an interesting character. Mitsuri confesses to Tanjiro that she joined the Demon Slayer Corps because she wanted to marry a man who could defend her and be stronger than her, which is a surprising admission from a member of the elite group of demon slayers.

The episode also introduces viewers to the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, who Tanjiro encounters while searching for the missing swordmaker, Hotaru Haganezuka. Long-term manga readers know that the events of the series are about to escalate, and it will be interesting to see how the Love and Mist Hashiras will factor into the upcoming conflicts.

Overall, Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 1 did a great job of setting up the next arc of the story while also introducing some new characters and providing some exciting action sequences. Fans of the series will no doubt be eagerly awaiting the next episode to see where the story goes from here. And with the animation quality from Ufotable being as amazing as ever, the anime is sure to continue to impress viewers.
