Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, the record-breaking 2020 movie, is prepping for its American release! However, before you book your tickets and grab your popcorn, you might want to brush up on what has happened so far in the anime.
Suppose you don’t the time to binge through all the 26 episodes, no worries! Funimation is making sure that we get a short and sweet version of it. Before Tanjiro and his friends’ adventures come alive on the big screen, Funimation is here with a surprise.
Funimation recently announced that it will stream three special recap episodes of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba! The episodes were previously only available through Japanese broadcast stations, but Funimation is providing English sub and dub for them.
The three special episodes are:
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Sibling’s Bond: It covers the first 5 episodes of the anime in which Tanjiro’s family gets slaughtered, and he begins the journey to turn his sister back into a human.
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mt. Natagumo Arc: It adapts episodes 15-21 of the anime. Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke’s first adventure on the “spooky” Mt Natagumo are compiled.
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba The Hashira Meeting: Episodes 22 to 26 are featured in the special episode. This episode deals with the Hashiras objecting to Tanjiro and Nezuko’s presence in the Corps.
Funimation is streaming the specials in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Brazil and Mexico. However, if you are not in the listed areas, you can use a VPN to stream the series.
These special episodes are a great way to engage yourself with the series once again. There are original cuts included in each of the specials!
With the Mugen Train movie releasing in the US on 23rd April, Funimation is bent on giving fans a well-deserved anime experience!

In a world filled with demons and demon slayers, Kimetsu no Yaiba follows the lives of two siblings Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado after— the murder of their family at the hands of a demon. Their hardship does not end there, as Nezuko’s life is spared only for her to live as a demon.
