We already know how this story ends, thanks to the manga and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie - Mugen Train. For those who haven't read the manga or watched the film, it concludes with the Demon Slayer Corps completing their mission. Although they manage to save all the passengers on the train, there was one major casualty that affected Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke.

But there is barely any rest for the young warriors. Although they manage to recuperate in the manga, they are soon sent off on a new mission that will challenge them like never before.

For the anime, the Entertainment District arc will begin with Episode 8. The next story arc will also introduce new opening and closing themes. Moreover, this part of Demon Slayer Season 2 will be titled Demon Slayer: Yukaku-hen.
