Demon Slayer watch order, explained

Demon Slayer is one of the hottest Shonen anime titles today. It is almost impossible to discuss anime without mentioning this title. It has enjoyed a considerable degree of success over the past few years, all thanks to anime adaptation. There is no doubt that the manga was quite popular. However, the anime adaptation put the series on the world map. It has garnered millions of fans worldwide

As a consequence, this anime title continues to attract new fans daily. The manga completed its run in 2020. However, the anime has yet to adapt the entire story. Therefore, newer fans might find it hard to understand the watch order of the series.

Much like most anime titles, this one also has movies. The chronology of the movies and the seasonal releases can be a tad bit daunting for newer fans. This article will explore the watch order and inform fans about the relevance of the movies.

How to watch Demon Slayer in order, explained

The source material has a total of 12 story arcs. So far, the anime has adapted the first 10 and they are all categorized into seasons. Additionally, there are three movies that have been released. However, fans do not need to watch it to understand the overarching story. The first is the Mugen Train movie, which as the name suggests, covers the events that transpired in the Mugen Train arc. The contents of this movie have been split into 20-minute episodes.

Following this, there are two more movies in Demon Slayer titled, To the Swordsmith Village, and To the Hashira Training. Both of these movies are essentially the last episode of the previous season and the first episode of the subsequent season. To the Swordsmith Village is a compilation of the concluding portion of the Entertainment District arc and the first episode of the Swordsmith Village arc. To the Hashira Training follows the same pattern.

Here’s a watch order for Demon Slayer:

• Season 1 - Unwavering Resolve arc (Episodes 1-26)
• Season 2 - Mugen Train arc and Entertainment District arc (Episodes 27-44)
• Season 3 - Swordsmith Village arc (Episodes 45-55)
• Season 4 - Hashira Training arc (Episodes 56-63)

As mentioned earlier, the Demon Slayer series is yet to adapt only two more story arcs—the Infinity Castle arc and the Sunrise Countdown arc. The former is the largest story arc in the manga series. Therefore, the creators have decided to make three movies. Therefore, the Infinity Castle arc be adapted throughout the next three films.

This marks the commencement of the Infinity Castle arc. To reiterate the previous point, we urge the fans to watch all the anime episodes and patiently wait for the Infinity Castle anime movies to be released.
