Recap of Demon Slayer season 3 episode 6

Demon Slayer season 3 episode 6, titled Aren't You Going to Become a Hashira?, saw Genya aiming to slice the neck of the fifth demon that split off from Hantengu. However, the neck was too hard to slice, which caused Genya's sword to snap into two. Following that, Genya even used his gun but was interrupted by one of the other demons.

As he was in a near-death experience, Genya thought back to the day his mother died, and he mistakenly called his brother Sanemi a murderer. He wanted to apologize to his brother but was going to get killed, which is when Tanjiro saved him. Knowing that he could not kill Hantengu, Genya asked Tanjiro to do it.

Demon Slayer season 3 episode 7, titled Awful Villain, will most likely see Tanjiro and Genya try and deal with the real Hantengu. Considering that Genya was not able to kill him, he asked Tanjiro to do it.

However, Nezuko's blood art on Tanjiro's sword has been active for a while now, thus it could run out of time soon. Fans should remember that Hantengu's emotional demons can still stop Tanjiro and Genya.

Demon Slayer season 3 episode 7 might also focus on Muichiro Tokito as he was trapped by Upper Moon Five Demon Gyokko. While Muichiro is trapped, Gyokko could go after Haganezuka in the shed.

As mentioned earlier, Demon Slayer season 3 episode 7 will be released on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 11:15 pm JST
