Fans have been eagerly waiting for the Demon Slayer season 3 finale ever since episode 10 aired on June 11. The episode overlooked the fight between Mitsuri and Zohakuten while Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya tried to behead Hantengus’s original body.

Demon Slayer Season 3 finale might be the best episode of the season

The finale of the third season of Demon Slayer took viewers on an emotional roller coaster, ranging from heartbreak to extreme happiness. Fans have collectively expressed their emotions on social media, particularly Twitter, and it is evident that a significant number of fans were moved to tears by the conclusion.

The most emotional moment in the Demon Slayer season 3 finale was when Nezuko was exposed to sunlight and started burning up. Neither Tanjiro shielding her with his body nor Nezuko shrinking down to size could prevent the tragic event from happening. Evidently, no matter what Tanjiro did, he could not protect the person he loved most in the world.

Urami's decapitated body chased the villagers, and there was no time to save them both. Seeing this, Nezuko kicked Tanjiro away toward the villagers indicating her wish for him to save them.

Those who’ve read the manga already know what’s about happen next. After Tanjiro saved the villagers, he fell to the ground weeping at the loss of his sister. However, the next scene depicted the first-person view of someone getting up from the ground and slowly moving toward Tanjiro.

To the surprise and delight of the audience, it was none other than Nezuko, who apparently became immune to sunlight but that’s not all. She no longer needed the bamboo mouthguard and even spoke to Tanjiro for the first time since she became a demon, which translates to ‘Good Morning’.

Watching Tanjiro and his struggle to choose between his sister and the villagers had a big impact on the viewers. The credit for such an immersive experience can be given to the stage play and production team, who have also been praised by the fans, with some even stating that the Demon Slayer season 3 finale is the best episode of the series.

Overall, the Demon Slayer season 3 finale was everything fans were expecting and more. With the conclusion of the Swordsmith Village arc, fans can still keep up the hype and wait for season 4 of Demon Slayer which has been confirmed to be in production. To note the next season will include the Hashira Training arc and possibly the Infinity Castle arc.
