A major portion of Demon Slayer season 3, episode 1, will be about the introduction and meeting of theUpper Rank Demonsin Infinity Castle. The leaked video below introduces us to the main antagonist of the upcoming season, Gyokko, who is having a conversation with Akaza. A few scenes also reveal scared Hantengu hiding behind the stairs. Nakime is also revealed in the scene, playing her Bewa and performing her job of summoning the Demons in Infinity Castle.
We know Akaza from his fight with Rengoku, and while you may hate him for what he did to Flame Hashira, he is incredibly strong, but also quite short-tempered and crazy. In one of the leaked scenes, Akaza is shown punching Doma’s face when the latter pesters him. The punch is hard enough to make Doma bleed. The scene came as a surprise, as Doma is stronger than Akaza according to the Demon hierarchy; however, the latter still shows the audacity to punch him. The scene also includes Gyokko and Hantengu.
Doma is not at all ticked off at Akaza’s behavior, as the next scene reveals him smiling and healing his injury instantly. Then we see Kokushibo’s first appearance in the series. The scene is set in Infinity Castle, and Kokushibo can be seen resting. He says something in his heavy voice, and Akaza gives an expression of shock. The scene also reveals Muzan Kibutsuji at the end, surrounded by books and doing experiments to find a cure to conquer his weakness of being burned by the sun.
Next, we have a scene of the three Upper Rank Demons discussing something. The conversation seems to be a heated one, as we see Doma’s head being chopped off, possibly by Kokushibu; however, the former regenerates it quickly. Soon after that, Kokushibo cuts Akaza’s hand. While Akaza and Kokushibu seem angered in the leaked video, Doma speaks softly and with a smile on his face.
We also got a few leaked scenes of Mitsuri fighting using her Love Breathing technique.
Several images from the first episode were also released, which include Mitsuri’s bath scene, Mitsuri and Muichiro’s scenes, Nezuko and Tanjiro, Hotaru, and Tanjiro’s encounter with the greatest Hashira ever, Yorrichi.
With so much coming from Demon Slayer this April, fans eagerly look forward to meeting the new Demons and their favorite Hashiras going into full-on action mode.
