The third season of the TV anime "Demon Slayer: The Village of the Swordsmith" (Fuji Television Network, every Sunday from 23:15~) has released advance scene cuts from the seventh episode, "Extreme Evil.".

　In the previous episode, Genya aims at the neck of the fifth demon that split off from the Hantengu, but the unexpected stiffness of the neck breaks his sword and his gun is ineffective, and he is cornered.

　Realizing that he could not slay the neck with his own strength, Genya entrusted Tanjiro with the task of facing the fifth demon, which he believed to be the main body of the demons.

　Tanjiro receives Genya's wishes, and he swings his sword down on the fleeing demon.

　"Demon Slayer" is based on the manga of the same title that had been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from February 2016 to May 2008, and has sold more than 150 million copies of the comics. Set in the Taisho era (1912-1926) in a world inhabited by cannibalistic demons, the story is about a boy, Tanjiro Kamakado, whose family was killed by demons, who joins the "Kisatsutai" and sets out on a journey to avenge the demons that killed his family in order to return his sister Nezuko, who turned into a demon, to human.

　The first season of the TV anime aired from April to September 2019, igniting its popularity and making it a social phenomenon. The movie "Demon Slayer the Movie: Infinity Train", which is connected to the final episode of the anime, was released in October 2020 and became a blockbuster hit, grossing over 40 billion yen at the domestic box office, and the second TV anime season "Yugaku-hen", which follows the movie, aired from December 2021.

　The third season, "The Village of the Swordsmith," which follows the second season, is based on the story from the 12th volume of the original comics. For the first time in 113 years, the Jogen-no-oni-squad is missing a demon, and an angry Muzan gives further orders to the remaining Jogen-no-oni-squad demons. Meanwhile, Haganezuka is furious with Tanjiro for spilling his sword in a fight with Gyuutaro, and in search of a new sword, Tanjiro visits The Village of the Swordsmith, where Haganezuka works.
