Synopsis

Following their rehabilitation at the Butterfly Mansion, Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira board the Mugen Train to assist Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku. Numerous passengers have disappeared aboard the train, prompting the Demon Slayer Corps to investigate.

The mission brings the group into conflict with Enmu, a demon who attacks through dreams and exploits his victims’ deepest desires. The television arc retells the story of the Mugen Train feature film while adding an original introductory episode about Rengoku’s activities before boarding, newly edited footage, additional music, and revised episodic transitions.

Highlights

The seven-episode arc was produced by ufotable and directed by Haruo Sotozaki, with character designs and chief animation direction by Akira Matsushima.
Its first episode is an anime-original prequel depicting events immediately before the Mugen Train journey.
The remaining episodes reconfigure the 2020 feature film with approximately 70 additional cuts, new music, fresh previews, and television-specific editing.
LiSA performed the opening theme “Akeboshi” and ending theme “Shirogane,” while her film theme “Homura” accompanies the conclusion.
Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina returned as the principal composers.
The arc aired in Japan from October 10 to November 28, 2021, directly before the Entertainment District Arc.
