Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a Japanese anime television series based on Koyoharu Gotouge's manga series of the same name. At the end of the second-season finale, a third season covering the manga's "Swordsmith Village" arc was announced.[1] The third season, titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc,[lower-alpha 1] adapts from the 12th volume to the 15th volume (chapters 98–127) of the manga and aired from April 9 to June 18, 2023.[2][3][4] The season was directed by Haruo Sotozaki, with character designs by Akira Matsushima who also serves as a chief animation director, and animation produced by Ufotable; the main cast from the second season also returned.[1]

The season follows Tanjiro and Nezuko as they travel to the Swordsmith Village and join two members of the Demon Slayer Corps' Hashira — Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji. Along with fellow Demon Slayer Genya Shinazugawa, they strive to fight and protect the village from two attacking Upper Rank demons.

The opening theme song is "Kizuna no Kiseki" (絆ノ奇跡?, lit. Miracle of Bonds), while the ending theme song is "Koi Kogare" (コイコガレ?, lit. Yearning), both performed by Man with a Mission and Milet.[5] "Kamado Nezuko no Uta" (竈門襧豆子のうた?, "Nezuko Kamado's Song") by Go Shiina featuring Nami Nakagawa is featured as an insert song in the season finale episode.[6]

On February 3, 2023, a compilation film titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Swordsmith Village, which includes footage from the final two episodes of Entertainment District Arc and an advanced screening of the first Swordsmith Village Arc episode, premiered in Japan.[2] Aniplex of America licensed the season outside of Asia and streamed it on Crunchyroll,[7] which began streaming an English dub on May 28, 2023.[8]

In July 2024 at San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that the English dub of Swordsmith Village Arc would broadcast on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block which premiered on August 11, 2024.[9]
