Taking place between chapter 70 and chapter 99 of the hit manga, the Entertainment District Arc sees Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu meet up with Tengen as they search for his missing wives who were investigating rumors of demons. Season 2 began with a seven-episode serialized adaptation of Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train, which was originally released in Japan last year and just formatted for television episodes, before covering the Entertainment District Arc.
