List of episodes

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a Japanese anime television series based on Koyoharu Gotouge's manga series of the same name. The second season adapts from the 7th volume to the 11th volume (chapters 54–97) of the manga and ran for two continuous cours. The first part, titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Mugen Train Arc,[a] is a seven-episode recompilation of the "Mugen Train" arc as featured in the 2020 anime film. It contains new music and an all new anime original episode which takes place immediately before the main story. The first part aired from October 10 to November 28, 2021.[1][2] The second part, titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc,[b] aired eleven episodes from December 5, 2021, to February 13, 2022.[3] The season was directed by Haruo Sotozaki, with character designs by Akira Matsushima, and animation produced by Ufotable; staff and cast from the first season and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train also returned.[4][5]

"Mugen Train" follows Tanjiro and his allies, whose joined by Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, are tasked on the mission in a passenger train to face a demon and rescue the passengers. "Entertainment District" takes place after the previous mission as they are joined by Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, to investigate the disappearances of Tengen's wives while gathering information about a demon who terrorizes the town amidst the human activity and residence in Yoshiwara.

For the Mugen Train Arc, the opening theme is "Akeboshi" (明け星, lit.'Morning Star') while the ending theme is "Shirogane" (白銀, lit.'Silver'), both performed by Lisa. As is originally the case in the Mugen Train film, "Homura" (, Flame) is used as the ending theme for episode 7. For the Entertainment District Arc, the opening theme is "Zankyō Sanka" (残響散歌, lit.'Song of Reverberation') while the ending theme is "Asa ga Kuru" (朝が来る, lit.'Daybreak'), both performed by Aimer.[2]

Aniplex of America licensed the series outside of Asia and streamed it on Funimation[6] and Crunchyroll.[2] Muse Communication licensed the second season in Southeast Asia and South Asia;[7] they streamed it on iQIYI,[8] Bilibili,[9] WeTV,[10] Viu,[11] Netflix,[12] and Disney+.[13]

In October 2023, it was announced that the English dub of Mugen Train Arc would broadcast on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block beginning on November 12, 2023.[14] A month later, it was confirmed that Entertainment District Arc would also air beginning on January 14, 2024.[15]

Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku is tasked with finding an elusive demon plaguing a town. Believing the demon is connected to over forty disappearances on a passenger train, he sets out to find and kill it. He meets a pair of bento vendors and advises them on the risk of demons, before he soon locates the train. After learning it is slated to be put back into service, he encounters the demon responsible for the attacks throughout the area. To spite him for his humanity, the demon decides to hunt down the bento vendors and flees. Kyojuro eventually tracks it down and kills it, saving the vendors; his actions remind the elderly vendor of when she herself was saved by the former Flame Hashira many years ago. After realizing the demon is too weak for such numerous victims, Kyojuro boards the train to begin his investigation.
282"Deep Sleep"

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke meet Kyojuro on the train. After an explanation of the situation by the Hashira, they discover two demons hidden on board and witness Kyojuro's impressive abilities first hand. Later into the night, all four Demon Slayers fall asleep, with Tanjiro dreaming about being reunited with his lost family. They have fallen into the Blood Demon Art of Enmu, Lower One of the Kizuki. The demon had mixed his blood into the ink in their tickets, allowing his plan to go into motion without being noticed. As Tanjiro continues to fall deeper into his slumber, Enmu finds joy that they may never awaken again.

Whilst the Demon Slayers are asleep, Enmu instructs four vulnerable passengers to tie their wrists to them, fall asleep, and enter their dreams. Armed with an awl made of his bone, they must search for their spiritual core and destroy it, in order to render them incapacitated. Kyojuro's intruder finds his core, but his intensely strong spirit manages to stop her in the real world. Nezuko, who is unaffected by Enmu's Blood Demon Art, emerges from her box and tries to wake up Tanjiro. Though her attempts to do so fail, she is able to alert him that he is in a dream and trapped. In an ultimate attempt to wake himself up, Tanjiro draws his sword and slashes his own neck in order to regain consciousness.

Tanjiro's intruder finds himself in Tanjiro's subconsciousness. Figments of his spirit guide him to the spiritual core but he relents, unwilling to harm such a pure-hearted soul. Tanjiro awakens and discovers his peers deep asleep. Nezuko burns the ropes off the wrists of the Demon Slayers, which awakens the passengers. They attack Tanjiro, who knocks them out. Tanjiro spares his passenger, after learning how sick and desperate he was. When Zenitsu and Inosuke fail to awaken, Tanjiro tasks Nezuko with protecting the passengers and climbs onto the roof, meeting Enmu. He attacks Lower One, who repeatedly forces him into unconsciousness. However, he is unaffected by knowing to commit suicide in his dreams and beheads him. Enmu does not fade into ash and he gleefully reveals that he has fused with the entire train. Inosuke then awakens and assists Tanjiro in battling the demon.
315"Move Forward!"
Transliteration: "Mae e!" (Japanese: 前へ!)

Inosuke and Tanjiro attempt to battle Enmu from inside the train but find their attacks futile with his regeneration. Nezuko joins the fight and is nearly overwhelmed until the arrival of Zenitsu. Kyojuro finally joins the fray and damages Enmu enough to stall his assault. The Hashira explains the plan to Tanjiro; he himself, Zenitsu, and Nezuko will protect the passengers while he and Inosuke will search for Enmu's real neck. They locate it at the train's locomotive, but despite constantly slashing the cabin, Enmu continues to generate flesh as protection. The driver, wanting to protect the demon, stabs Tanjiro in the stomach. However, Tanjiro musters his strength, and, together with Inosuke, manages to expose Enmu's neckbone. He performs his Hinokami Kagura technique and decapitates Enmu with a powerful swing. The entire train derails and crashes into the ground.
326"Akaza"
(Japanese: 猗窩座)

After the train derails, Enmu disintegrates. Tanjiro struggles with his wound but manages to stabilize it under Kyojuro's guidance. They are met by Upper Rank Three, Akaza, who tries to persuade Kyojuro into turning into a demon, achieve immortality and reach a higher power, having sensed how powerful he was. Appealing to his integrity as a Demon Slayer, he immediately refuses, resulting in a battle to the death between the two. He instructs Tanjiro and Inosuke to stay behind. Despite Kyojuro's tremendous strength and speed, Akaza overwhelms him with his unique martial arts and powerful regeneration, injuring Kyojuro severely. Tanjiro and Inosuke cannot do anything but look from afar helplessly.
337"Set Your Heart Ablaze"

With all that is left in him, Kyojuro unleashes one last, powerful attack at Akaza, momentarily stunning him. However, Akaza fatally injures him, and despite Kyojuro trying to restrain him, flees upon seeing the arrival of daybreak, breaking Kyojuro's sword. In desperate fury, Tanjiro flings his sword with all his force at Akaza, who nonetheless escapes as an enraged Tanjiro denounces him as a coward for running away. While Kyojuro succumbs to his injuries, he confides in Tanjiro messages for both his brother and father for him to give them. He accepts Nezuko as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and encourages Tanjiro to "set his heart ablaze". He sees a vision of his proud mother, before passing away peacefully, devastating Tanjiro and Inosuke. The other Hashiras receive the news of Kyojuro's death, while the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya, appreciates him for not letting a single passenger or comrade die in his presence.

Akaza meets Muzan, now disguised as a young boy, who reveals his disappointment in Akaza for not being able to kill the other three Demon Slayers other than Kyojuro. Akaza vows to kill Tanjiro as the latter goes to meet Kyojuro’s brother Senjuro and his father Shinjuro. Shinjuro, a former Flame Hashira but now an alcoholic who detests the Demon Slayers and sees both of his sons as failures, dismisses Tanjiro violently. However, when he sees Tanjiro's earrings, he explains to him he is a bearer of the first breathing technique, called "Sun Breathing". Tanjiro headbutts him for disrespecting Kyojuro, knocking him out. Later, Senjuro thanks Tanjiro for passing him his brother's messages. Four months after Kyojuro's death, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke accompany the Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui to their next mission - infiltrating the famed Yoshiwara red-light district, where demons are said to reside.

In order to investigate the suspected demonic presence in Yoshiwara, Tengen had sent his three wives to infiltrate the three largest courtesan Houses in the district. However, having stopped receiving messages from them, he has started worry for their safety. As such, Tengen disguises Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu as girls and sells them to the three Houses in which his wives were deployed, in order to find clues to their fate and whereabouts. Though with some difficulty, all three Demon Slayers are accepted to work at the Houses. As Tengen surveys the district from the rooftops, it is revealed that Makio, one of Tengen's wives, is held captive in a secluded room in Inosuke's House, being restrained by numerous obi, and enduring interrogation from a mysterious female voice.

Inosuke investigates Makio’s room and discovers something moving through the ceiling and walls; he pursues it but it evades him. In his own house, Zenitsu defends a girl from being scolded by Warabihime, the house's beautiful but intimidating oiran. He recognizes her as a demon but is attacked by her and knocked unconscious. Days before the mission had begun, the madam of the house confronts Warabihime, having determined her true identity, but Warabihime drops her onto the street to her death. She returns inside and is greeted by Muzan. He praises the demon, noting her strength and beauty, and addressing her by her demon name Daki: the Upper Rank Six of the Twelve Kizuki. Zenitsu wakes up some time later and is tended to by the girls he had defended, who thank him for standing his ground. After they leave, Zenitsu is captured by Daki.

Realizing Zenitsu is missing, Tengen dismisses Tanjiro and Inosuke, not wanting them to risk their lives for the mission. The two refuse to abandon him and prepare themselves. Tanjiro gives his reason for disguising himself to his house’s oiran and explains his true mission, before bidding her farewell. Tengen questions the master of Zenitsu's House at knifepoint, who tells him about Warabihime. Having just left his House, Tanjiro detects a demonic scent coming from its direction and returns, only to see Daki absorbing the oiran into her obi. The two fight but she overwhelms Tanjiro with her numerous obi sashes. With the impact of her attacks, one of the straps on Nezuko's box breaks, forcing Tanjiro to leave her behind as he confronts Daki. Realizing she will be the strongest demon he will face thus far, Tanjiro readies himself to face Daki alone.

Tengen finds Hinatsuru on the outskirts of the district, having poisoned herself to escape but remaining unable to contact him. Battling Daki by himself, Tanjiro tries to use his Hinokami Kagura but realizes the fatigue on his body is preventing him from fighting effectively. Elsewhere, Inosuke discovers an incredibly narrow passageway under his House, leading to a cavern that appears to serve as a holding cell, full of obi that Daki has used to absorb her victims. This obi turns out to be an entity that can function independently from Daki's body; Inosuke first attempts to slay it but decides to prioritize freeing the people trapped inside. Overwhelmed, he nevertheless manages to free Suma and Makio – two of Tengen's wives – as well as Zenitsu, all of whom assist him in his fight, before being joined by Tengen himself.

As Tanjiro and Daki battle, Daki causes immense destruction at the cost of numerous innocent lives. Angered at her callousness, he retaliates, using Hinokami Kagura to enhance his speed and power. During their confrontation, Daki sees distant memories of a similar figure to Tanjiro, memories which she surmises belong to Muzan's cells in her body. Tanjiro pushes Daki on the defensive and almost beheads her when he collapses in exhaustion; he had been fighting without remembering to sustain his breathing pattern and a vision from his late sister only saves him from suffocating to death. Daki prepares to kill him as he is downed when Nezuko suddenly attacks her. Remembering Muzan’s mention of a rogue demon, she begins fighting her. Daki bisects Nezuko with her obi but is stunned to see her already standing. Nezuko matures in appearance and faces her.

As Nezuko fights Daki, her increasingly potent regenerative abilities and Blood Demon Art overwhelm her opponent, leaving Daki unable to fight back as she is viciously kicked through several houses. Eager to finish the fight, Nezuko notices a bystander bleeding and her demonic bloodlust overwhelms her senses, almost attacking them before Tanjiro intervenes and restrains her. Tengen soon arrives and beheads Daki with ease, doubting she is as powerful as she claims. However, she does not die, and instead, her brother Gyutaro emerges from within her body. Gyutaro, who also holds the position of Upper Rank Six, reattaches Daki's head, and, envious of Tengen's good looks, begins to fight him using his sickles and Blood Demon Art. Overwhelmed, Tengen struggles to stand his ground while protecting the civilians, realizing that Daki cannot be killed whilst Gyutaro is alive. Tanjiro manages to calm Nezuko down, just as Zenitsu and Inosuke arrive to help.

Taking Nezuko to safety, Tanjiro focuses on the coming battle despite his injuries. Tengen trades barbs with Gyutaro and Daki over their clashing beliefs. As a young man, Tengen was brutally trained by his father as a member of the Shinobi. Wanting to avoid the path taken by his surviving brother, he and his wives approached Kagaya, who commended him on striving away from his past. As they fight, Tengen is poisoned by Gyutaro but is joined by Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. The district is evacuated by Suma and Makio, while Hinatsuru makes her way to Tengen. The Demon Slayers plan to behead the demons simultaneously but Daki engages Zenitsu and Inosuke, while Gyutaro clashes with Tengen and Tanjiro. Fighting as one, the demons gradually overwhelm their opponents. However, Tanjiro, realizing his Water Breathing is more useful defensively, is able to fend off Gyutaro's attacks. Entering the fight, Hinatsuru fires wisteria-laced kunais at Gyutaro, paralysing him and allowing Tengen and Tanjiro to reach his neck.

Gyutaro neutralizes the wisteria and uses his Blood Demon Art to fend off Tengen and Tanjiro, before grabbing Hinatsuru. Despite his exhaustion, Tanjiro combines his Hinokami Kagura and Water Breathing, unleashing a very fast charge that stuns the demon and saves her. Tengen joins his attempt to slice off Gyutaro's head, while Zenitsu and Inosuke continue to fend off Daki's obi. Gyutaro stops their blades and unleashes his Blood Demon Art again, forcing Tengen to throw himself and Gyutaro away to save Hinatsuru and Tanjiro. With Tengen fighting Gyutaro alone, Tanjiro joins his friends in facing Daki, where he and Zenitsu open the way for Inosuke, allowing him to behead her. He runs away with Daki’s head to prevent reattachment but Gyutaro suddenly stabs him from behind and retrieves her head. Tanjiro looks for Tengen and sees him wounded and motionless. Devastated for not being able to help them in time, he freezes; Zenitsu pushes him off the roof to save him from an incoming obi attack.

Tanjiro survives his fall but is confronted by Gyutaro, who mocks his inability to protect Nezuko and his friends, slamming him around the burning city. He offers to transform him but Tanjiro responds by head-butting him, secretly stabbing him with a poisoned kunai. With Gyutaro immobilized, he attempts his Hinokami Kagura once more to behead him. Daki intervenes but is attacked by Zenitsu, reaching her neck with his fastest form. Gyutaro removes the kunai and recovers. Before he can kill Tanjiro, Tengen, having halted the poison's effects, intervenes, battling Gyutaro despite his wounds. Seeing his chance, Tanjiro reaches Gyutaro's neck but is stabbed in the jaw. His scar transforms into a fiery mark, giving him the strength to slice through. Zenitsu loses momentum without cutting Daki's neck but is joined by Inosuke, revealing he moved his internal organs upon getting stabbed, causing Gyutaro to miss his heart. The Demon Slayers simultaneously behead the siblings, but in the aftermath, Gyutaro’s body suddenly erupts with blood blades, destroying the city.

Nezuko burns the blood blades with her fire. Tanjiro, no longer poisoned, reunites with Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Tengen; Nezuko burns the poison out of their bodies, saving them. She and Tanjiro set out to finish off the demon siblings and find them insulting their relationship following their defeat. Tanjiro implores them to support each other in their last moments but Daki dies first. Gyutaro remembers their human lives; they were born into the poorest caste of a red-light district. Despite his appearance burdening him, Daki, considered very attractive as a child, gave them a comfortable life. One day, Daki attacked a customer of hers and was burned alive in retaliation. Gyutaro found her and killed the people responsible. They were subsequently found by the Upper Rank Six of then and turned into demons. Gyutaro meets with Daki in the afterlife and they reconcile, walking to Hell together; he finally disintegrates. Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro arrives, sarcastically praising Tengen for killing Upper Rank Six. However, Tengen intends to retire and informs him of Tanjiro's potential. Elsewhere, an increasingly ill Kagaya is overjoyed at the news and expresses his pride in the Demon Slayers, noting Muzan's defeat is near. Akaza is summoned to the alternate dimension, the Infinity Castle, and realizes that an Upper Rank has been killed. Tanjiro embraces Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Nezuko, relieved that they all have survived.
