The action continues in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 3 Episode 5 as the heroes did their best to defend the Swordsmith Village. Bright Red Sword also featured the return of Mitsuri Kanroji and she didn't waste time in showing up her unusual sword.
In Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 5, the swordsmiths struggled to defend their village against Gyokko's fish demons. Luckily, Mitsuri arrived just in time to take down several minions in one go. The swordsmiths then urge her to rescue the village chief.
As it turns out, Chief Tecchin Tecchikawahara had been captured by a large fish demon that threatens to crush the village chief. One swordsmith tries to defend the chief but is unable to do so because of his injuries.
Luckily, Mitsuri arrives and her sword is revealed to be more like a long steel ribbon. She immediately uses Love Breathing, First Form: Shivers of First Love and effectively kills the demon which finally releases the village chief.
It's an awesome reveal that confirms Mitsuri Kanroji truly deserves to be one of the Hashiras. It was also confirmed that Chief Tecchin had personally created her sword which is strange yet amazingly effective in the Love Hashira's hands.
The Love Hashira's unusual sword isn't the only big surprise in Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 5. Fans were also treated to a viewing of the latest form of Hinokami Kagura after Nezuko set Tanjiro's sword on fire with her blood. The bright red sword woke inherited memories in Hantengu's clones who remembered an ancient swordsman with a similar sword.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 3 Episode 5 is titled Bright Red Sword and adapts the manga's Chapters 110 to 114. The next episode is titled Aren't You Going To Be A Hashira? ("Hashira ni Narun ja Nai no ka!") and will air on Sunday, May 14, 2023.
