The Demon Slayer franchise continues to do everything that needs to be done to take it to the top of the shonen category, with the series definitely holding one among the highest places of the category currently. And although the animation and the artform in general is probably the main reason, it would be also interesting to see how the third season fares in terms of context.

Following the first part of the second season, revolving around the Mugen Train, the Entertainment District Arc continues after Kyojuro's shocking death, with Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke accompanying the annoyingly flamboyant Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui to their next mission – infiltrating the famed Yoshiwara red-light district, where demons are said to reside.

Before that, however, Tanjiro visits Kyojuro's father, in a rather dramatic sequence that shows that Shinjuro, who used to be the flame Hashira himself, is now a violent alcoholic. A revelation revolving around Tanjiro's earring does happen, though, bringing us to the main dish of the part. Uzui tells the three young men that he has three wives, kunoichis, that have infiltrated Yoshiwara in order to follow on demon activity, but he has not heard from them for some time, which is the reason he has come to the area.
