Source-derived summary

The second season of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime television series is based on the manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge. The second season adapts from the 7th volume to the 11th volume (chapters 54–97) of the manga and ran for two continuous cours. The first part, titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Mugen Train Arc, is a seven-episode recompilation of the "Mugen Train" arc as featured in the 2020 anime film. It contains new music and an all new anime original episode which takes place immediately before the main story. The first part aired from October 10 to November 28, 2021. The second part, titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc, aired eleven episodes from December 5, 2021, to February 13, 2022. The season was directed by Haruo Sotozaki, with character designs by Akira Matsushima, and animation produced by Ufotable; staff and cast from the first season and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train also returned.

"Mugen Train" follows Tanjiro and his allies as they join Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku on a mission inside a passenger train to face a hidden demon and rescue the passengers. "Entertainment District" takes place after the previous mission, where they assist Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui to investigate the disappearances of Tengen's wives while gathering information about a demon who terrorizes the red-light districts of Yoshiwara.

For the Mugen Train Arc, the opening theme is "Akeboshi" (明け星; lit. 'Morning Star') while the ending theme is "Shirogane" (白銀; lit. 'Silver'), both performed by LiSA. As is originally the case in the Mugen Train film, "Homura" (炎; Flame), the main theme song for the film, is used as the ending theme for episode 7.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q105847067. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
