Season 3 of Demon Slayer is well underway, bringing Tanjiro and Nezuko back to us. There’s a bit of a setback to Tanjiro’s plans, however, as the dramatic events of Episode 7, titled “Awful Villain,” sees Tanjiro chasing Hantengu catching up to him, and failing to slice his neck and silence him for good. Just then, a new clone shows up — known as the Hate Clone, aka Zohakuten — and thwarts Tanjiro’s plans. When the Hate Clone attacks, Tanjiro is overwhelmed by a serpent with multiple heads; Nezuko saves him, but leaves herself vulnerable to be bitten by the reptile in the process.
Now that the Hate Clone has been thrown into the mix, the stakes are higher than ever before as Tanjiro struggles to come out on top. We’ll have to wait just a few more days to find out where Episode 8 takes us, but there’s still plenty of Season 3 left to go. For Demon Slayer fans who are all caught-up on the action and eagerly awaiting more, or first-time fans discovering the series anew, we’ve compiled the complete list of Season 3 episodes to make your viewing experience as seamless as possible.
