Demon Slayer Season 2 Drops First Glimpse at Rengoku Premiere Episode


The premiere of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 is only a day away but we now have our first glimpse at Episode 1. The footage from the special episode, which will focus on Rengoku Kyojuro, reveals an interesting exchange between the Flame Hashira and Kocho Shinobu.

It has already been confirmed that Demon Slayer Season 2 will kick off with a special episode that is not featured in the manga. The premiere episode, titled Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, takes place before the events in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie - Mugen Train. It reveals how Rengoku was assigned to take charge of the mission and possibly allow viewers to learn more about the Flame Hashira.

Now we have the first footage from Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 1 and it reveals an interesting interaction between Rengoku and Kocho Shinobu. In the scene, the Insect Hashira catches up with Rengoku as he is leaving. Rengoku confirms that he is setting out to find a demon after several attempts to take it down have been unsuccessful. When Kocho wonders if it is the Twelve Moons, Rengoku states he believes it is so. Watch the video below starting at the 2:18 mark

The conversation then takes an interesting turn as Rengoku asks about Kocho's plans for Tanjiro Kamado. Kocho avoids answering the question by joking that she wouldn't eat the boy. Rengoku simply laughs about it then leaves as Kocho wishes him to be careful.

The footage is featured in Demon Slayer's new promotional reel which also hypes up the Entertainment District arc, which will be the main storyline of the second season. We only see glimpses at the upcoming arc but it's enough to get us all excited about Season 2.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 will premiere with Rengoku's special episode on December 10, 2021.
