**Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc streams on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix.

## Synopsis

Sent to recover after his last mission, Tanjiro travels to the secret village where the Demon Slayer Corps' swordsmiths live and work, a place few outsiders are ever permitted to see. There he crosses paths with two of the Corps' elite Hashira: the drifting, aloof Mist pillar Muichiro Tokito and the warmhearted Love pillar Mitsuri Kanroji. The calm doesn't hold. When demons manage to track the village down, its craftsmen and the slayers guarding them are forced into a desperate defense, and Tanjiro finds himself squaring off against enemies that demand everything he has learned.
