Demon Slayer season 2 is launching in 2021, but fans still don’t have an exact release date to mark down in their diaries. It was thought the Demon Slayer season 2 release date was going to get revealed this week during a special broadcast. On Tuesday the Kimestu TV, New Information Announcement Special programme aired which delivered a Demon Slayer season 2 update.
It had been hoped a release date for season 2 would be revealed during this stream.
But instead new key art for the Entertainment District Arc anime debuted along with a teaser for the new season of Demon Slayer.
In the aftermath of this stream airing Demon Slayer fans have been given an update about when the season 2 release date could be revealed.
As highlighted in a post by the @DemonSlayerSc Twitter account, a Demon Slayer season 2 release date announcement could be pencilled in for September 25 2021.
The account tweeted: “More information about Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 will be revealed on September 25, 2021.
“A release date may be announced!”
This date is significant as that’s when the record breaking Mugen Train movie will be airing on Japanese TV.
And after the Demon Slayer movie debuts on TV in Japan there will be a broadcast about Demon Slayer season 2, Comicbook.com reported in a post online.
Fans could get an exact release date for Demon Slayer season 2 then.
Of course, we may still get some news on when Tanjiro and co will be returning before then.
Demon Slayer season 2 is rumoured to be launching in October, so a release date announcement towards the end of September may be cutting it fine.
Demon Slayer season 2 will adapt the Entertainment District Arc from the manga, which appears in volume nine.
So you get an idea of what to expect, here’s a synopsis for the manga: “In Taisho-era Japan, Tanjiro Kamado is a kindhearted boy who makes a living selling charcoal. But his peaceful life is shattered when a demon slaughters his entire family. His little sister Nezuko is the only survivor, but she has been transformed into a demon herself! Tanjiro sets out on a dangerous journey to find a way to return his sister to normal and destroy the demon who ruined his life.
“Tanjiro and his friends accompany the Hashira Tengen Uzui to an entertainment district where Tengen’s female ninja agents were gathering information on a demon, but suddenly disappeared. In order to investigate, Tanjiro and the others disguise themselves as women to sneak in. As they close in on their target, the demon reaches out for the courtesans of the district!”
