The Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc is the third season of the Demon Slayer anime series, adapting the Swordsmith Village arc from the manga. It follows protagonist Tanjiro Kamado's journey to the hidden Swordsmith Village to repair his broken sword. This secretive village is the clandestine source of weapons for the Demon Slayer Corps, and entry requires blindfolds, earplugs, and nose plugs to protect its location. In the village, Tanjiro encounters the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, uncovering hidden weapons. The tranquility is shattered by Upper Rank demons, forcing Tanjiro and his comrades into intense battles against powerful foes like Upper Rank Five Gyokko and Upper Rank Four Hantengu. The Swordsmith Village is not only a source of weapons but also features healing hot springs and training dolls. This arc introduces new battles, characters, and reveals more of the Demon Slayer Corps' and demons' past.
