It has finally happened. The Demon Slayer Season 2 release date has just been announced and we can finally continue with Tanjiro Kamado's story. However, it looks like the first episode will actually focus on a completely new character. Ufotable has confirmed that the second season will kick off with Rengoku Kyojuro's story arc and fans are loving it.

There is little doubt that people fell in love with Rengoku after the character worked with Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie - Mugen Train. However, fans also felt like the Fire Hashira appeared too briefly in the anime and that Rengoku deserved more screentime.

Luckily, fans are getting exactly what they want. Demon Slayer Season 2 will start with an episode that serves as a prequel to Mugen Train following Rengoku receiving his mission. Episodes 2 to 7 are then set to depict the Mugen Train arc with extra footage and a new theme.

This is amazing news and fans are hyped up for more Rengoku content in Demon Slayer Season 2.

But when can we get started on the Entertainment District arc that has been teased in the second season's teaser? The mission to the Yoshiwara red-light district will kick off in the eighth episode, which will premiere in December. The Mugen Train arc is set to give fans a refresher on what they missed in the movie and head straight for the next mission.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Yukaku-hen will premiere on October 10 with Rengoku's episode and the Mugen Train arc. The Entertainment District arc is set to air on December 5, 2021.
