Ufotable and Shueisha’s Demon Slayer Season 3: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc finally has a release date.
The new season is premiering in a theatrical event in Canada, which started Friday, March 3rd. The event will include the last two episodes of the Entertainment District Arc, namely Season 2, Episode 10: “Never Give Up” and Season 2, Episode 11: “No Matter How Many Lives,” followed by an extended version of the first episode of the new ‘Swordsmith Village’ arc.
Following the theatrical event, fans will need to wait until April 9th to catch the release of the new season on streaming websites like Funimation and Crunchyroll. It’s currently unclear if April 9th will mark the release of the same episode that is airing in theatres currently or if Ufotable will release the first two episodes of the new season on the day.
The new season is a direct adaptation of Koyoharu Gotoge’s manga, and will prominently feature two major characters that we haven’t seen much of before — the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, and the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji.
In Canada, Cineplex and Landmark Cinemas are now premiering the movie in both English and Japanese with English subtitles, with tickets starting at $13.50 and $13.25 for general admission, respectively.
