The first episode of the third season of the anime “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” has been released worldwide over the past weekend (it premiered earlier in Japan a few weeks ago). With this return, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” has garnered attention in various aspects, including positive reviews and numerous highlights. Notably, the extended duration of this episode has caught many viewers’ interest.
While some viewers criticized the “overuse of effects and camera angles” in the intense encounter with the Upper Moons, others appreciated the attention to detail. One standout moment was the scene featuring the Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji relaxing in a hot spring, which has captivated many fans.

Additionally, the presence of a female character has made a significant impression. This character is Kanao Tsuyuri, a girl with delicate features, large eyes, and long black hair tied to one side, which adds to her charm.
As Tanjiro Kamado recovers over a few months at the Butterfly Mansion, he first meets Kanao Tsuyuri (though he initially mistakes her for Inosuke, the boy he had been staying with for a while). Kanao’s demeanor quickly draws the attention of the audience, as she has noticeably changed compared to earlier seasons.



Seeing Kanao Tsuyuri in this light, fans have expressed their thoughts:
– I genuinely appreciate the way Kanao’s character development is portrayed. She has always had a cold demeanor and lacked vitality, but when Tanjiro interacts with her, there seems to be a shift in her personality.
– It’s quite exciting to see Kanao’s character grow more in “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.” She appears more relatable and human.
– She indeed has more screen time in this season.
– Now, she shows more emotional depth, which elevates her character significantly.
– Kanao has transitioned from being simply beautiful to being more nuanced in this season.
– The animation quality has been excellent, showcasing her changes effectively after her conversation with Tanjiro. I believe she is much happier now.
– I love the character development in this season. From being a mere supporting character to making decisive choices, her journey has been compelling. In the first season, she was very reserved, but in the third season, she speaks more and shows concern for Tanjiro’s health.
