Although last week’s installment kicked off the Entertainment District Arc, much of the episode focused on the fallout from the Mugen Train. Tanjiro visits the family of Kyojuro Rengoku, paying his condolences following the Flame Hashira’s tragic demise.

The end last week’s episode plunges into new territory, reintroducing Tengen Uzui and kicking off Tanjiro’s next adventure. However, it doesn’t give much more than a brief explainer of what’s been happening in Yoshiwara.

Demon Slayer Season 2’s Entertainment District Arc Episode 2 will see Tengen and the younger members of the Corps investigating the disappearances there. Those who have read the manga know Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu will go undercover to do so. When can fans expect to see them dive fully into this new mission?

Although Demon Slayer Season 2 will dive into new territory from here on out, Entertainment District Arc Episode 2 will likely consist of a lot of setup. There’s little information about the series’ new villain or where its latest storyline is headed. The anime has gaps to fill in before diving into the action.

Fortunately, if the Mugen Train Arc is anything to judge by, it will probably get through any exposition rather quickly. The anime also tends to approach even its slowest storytelling with engaging humor. And with Tengen Uzui’s lively personality, fans can count on plenty of that.

While they await the gang’s latest antics, viewers can check out previous episodes of Demon Slayer Season 2 on Crunchyroll and Funimation.
