Panel members scheduled to appear

The official Jump Festa 2023 website has confirmed that Demon Slayer Super Stage will once again feature voice actor Natsuki Hanae, who voices Tanjiro Kamado.

Kengo Kawanishi, who will voice Muichiro Tokito, and Kana Hanazawa, the voice behind Mitsuri Kanroji, are also scheduled to attend the event this year with Hanae.

What to expect from the event

Both the Mist Hashira and the Love Hashira were introduced in the very first season of the anime, but neither of them got much screen time. The Swordsmith Village arc focuses exclusively on Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri Kanroji, exploring their pasts and fleshing out their characters.

Jump Festa 2022 showed Katsuyuki Konishi, who voiced Tengen Uzui, attending the Demon Slayer Super Stage event. This is because the Entertainment District arc revolved around the Sound Hashira facing off against the Upper Moon Six.

Similarly, the presence of Kawanishi and Hanazawa suggests that the panel discussion will focus on the Swordsmith Village arc.

Each arc of the series focuses on a different Hashira, with a new Upper Moon Demon as the primary antagonist.

With the Upper Six siblings, Daki and Gyutaro dead, the main cast of the show will probably face off against the Upper Moon Four. The final scene of the previous season also hinted that season 3 will introduce all of the Upper Moon Demons who have been summoned to Muzan’s Infinity Palace.

The Jump Super Stage serves as the perfect event for the reveal of an official trailer and the release of season 3. While the teaser simply introduced the basic setting of Tanjiro’s next mission, an official trailer could be a taste of what Ufotable has in store for fans, both in terms of animation and story development.
