No breaks in sight: here's when the new Demon Slayer episode is landing
Since ancient times, rumors have abounded of man-eating demons lurking in the woods. Because of this, the local townsfolk never venture outside at night. Legend has it that a demon slayer also roams the night, hunting down these bloodthirsty demons. For young Tanjiro, these rumors will soon become his harsh reality… Ever since the death of his father, Tanjiro has taken it upon himself to support his family. Although their lives may be hardened by tragedy, they've found happiness. But that ephemeral warmth is shattered one day when Tanjiro finds his family slaughtered and the lone survivor, his sister Nezuko, turned into a demon. To his surprise, however, Nezuko still shows signs of human emotion and thought… Thus begins Tanjiro's quest to fight demons and turn his sister human again.

Demon Slayer season 2, episode 6 is next up as part of the show's ongoing Entertainment District arc. You might be feeling very 'flashy' right now, but it pays to plan ahead so you can avoid any and all spoilers on social media once the new episode drops.
With that in mind, we're here to give you the lowdown on the Demon Slayer season 2, episode 6 release date, its air time in the US and UK on Crunchyroll and Funimation, and a look ahead to how many episodes are potentially left in the season. Spoilers: it's not a lot.
Demon Slayer season 2 Entertainment District Arc episode 6 release date
The Demon Slayer season 2, episode 6 release date is January 9. On some platforms, that's listed at Entertainment District episode 6. Yes, that's quite confusing, but it's still part of the second season. If you're still playing catch-up, be sure to watch the Mugen Train arc (if you haven't seen the movie), then move on to the Entertainment District batch of episodes.
The sixth episode is available for Crunchyroll and Funimation subscribers at 8:00 AM Pacific/11:00 AM Eastern/4:00pm GMT this Sunday.
Demon Slayer season 2 release schedule
The Entertainment District Arc is set to air every Sunday for the foreseeable future. However, it might not be around for as long as we had hoped.
Fans have discovered a listing (H/T ComicBook.com) on the iQIYI streaming service that suggests the total episode count for Demon Slayer season 2 is 18 episodes. That would work out at seven episodes for the Mugen Train recaps and 11 for Entertainment District. That hasn't been confirmed yet, but would mean Demon Slayer season 2 ends around mid-to-late February. Here's what the current lay of the land looks like for anime's biggest hit show.
Entertainment District Arc episode 1 (Demon Slayer season 2, episode 8): December 5 - available now
Entertainment District Arc episode 2 (Demon Slayer season 2, episode 9): December 12 - available now
Entertainment District Arc episode 3 (Demon Slayer season 2, episode 10): December 19 - available now
Entertainment District Arc episode 4 (Demon Slayer season 2, episode 11): December 26 - available now
Entertainment District Arc episode 5 (Demon Slayer season 2, episode 12): January 2 - available now
Entertainment District Arc episode 6 (Demon Slayer season 2, episode 13): January 9
Demon Slayer season 2 recap: the story so far
All caught up? I hope so – the Entertainment District arc goes big on spoilers for the Mugen Train movie. For more on that, check out our Demon Slayer movie ending explainer.
The Entertainment District arc premiere deals with the fallout of Rengoku’s death at the hands of the Upper Moon demon Akaza – and his subsequent humiliating retreat.
Akaza is reprimanded by the head of the demons, Muzan, before heading off to lick his wounds. Muzan is now blending in as an orphan who has been taken in by a loving family.
Tanjiro, meanwhile, recuperates from his injuries and heads to Rengoku’s home to deliver his final messages to both his father and his brother. While his brother is ashamed of Rengoku’s defeat, his brother is more willing to co-operate – and teaches Tanjiro about the origins of ‘Sun Breathing.’
After months of extra training, Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu all accompany the Sound Hashira Uzui Tengen to the Entertainment District in search of demons to slay.
Once they get there, however, Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu are embroiled in Tengen's odd plan. His three (count 'em, three wives) have been planted in the district to help gather intel on any demons, but they haven't checked in for a period of time. The three fledgling Demon Slayer Corps members are then tasked with disguising as women to infiltrate the brothels. The final moments of the second episode see Inosuke seemingly inching closer to discovering the truth, and fate, of one of Tengen's wives.
The third episode, meanwhile, revolves around the interrogation of that wife, Makio, by Daki. Inosuke senses Daki's presence but the cloth demon (it's unclear if it and Daki are one and the same) manages to evade capture.
Zenitsu, now at the Kyoguku house, is investigating the death of its madam. We discover that she was killed by Daki. Zenitsu is then knocked out by Daki after poking around a little too much. The closing shot of the episode features the cloth demon about to grab Zenitsu.
The fourth episode of the current run moves a little more slowly, with Tengen telling Tanjiro and Inosuke to get out of the Entertainment District while they still can. Zenitsu is still missing, which leads Tanjiro to track down a mysterious scent, that of Daki. The episode closes with Daki attacking Tanjiro and the two of them preparing to do battle.
Later in the season, Tanjiro fights Daki, while Inosuke finds the cloth demon hidden deep below the town. Inosuke helps rescue Tengen's wives; Tanjiro, meanwhile, overcomes his difficulties with Water Breathing so he can try and master the Hinokami Kagura ability.
The first season is available on Crunchyroll, Funimation, Hulu, and Netflix in the US, and Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Netflix in the UK. Find out what else from the world of anime is coming in 2022 with our guides to the Stone Ocean return date and Attack on TItan season 4 return date.
