Following the unprecedented success of Mugen Train, Demon Slayer continued its cinematic journey with the release of To the Swordsmith Village.

Despite being a bridge between the Entertainment arc finale of season 2 and season 3’s Swordsmith Village arc premiere, the movie garnered significant attention and financial success.
