Demon Slayer- To the Swordsmith Village arc movie is a prequel to the season 3 of the Demon Slayer anime

Demon Slayer- To the Swordsmith Village arc movie is based on the manga Demon Slayer, written and drawn by Koyoharu Gotouge. The manga was serialized between February 2016 and May 2020.

The series has received several honors, including eleven Animedia Character Awards 2019 for its characters. It even received a Special Achievement Award at the 62nd Japan Record Awards.

As mentioned above, the Demon Slayer- To the Swordsmith Village arc movie will have a 110-minute runtime. The successful movie, Kimetsu no Yaiba, or Demon Slayer- To the Swordsmith Village arc, is released by Aniplex. The Demon Slayer- To the Swordsmith Village arc movie has more colorful characters and more amazing visuals than the Entertainment District.

It will act as a prequel to the upcoming third season of Demon Slayer. The movie will cover the last two episodes of the second season, the Entertainment District arc, and the first episode of the third season, the Swordsmith Village arc. As a result, the transition from the previous season to the following season will be seamless.

The 110-minute movie begins with a collage of major movements from previous seasons and Mugen Train's opening theme. Following that, a furious battle between the Demon Slayers and upper-rank demons will start, with each strike appearing to be more acute. The battle is the same as in the Entertainment District, however, with enhanced audio and 4K visuals, the movie is a lot more dramatic.

After the battle climax, follow the opening scenes of season 3; with it, some lighter comedy kicks in. After the first half, the second half of the film focuses more on Infinity Castle and the Swordsmith Village, as the title of the film suggests.

Akaza will also appear, and with him, we will be introduced to all the upper-ranking demons. We'll also get to see the Love Hashira and the Mist Hashira.
