After witnessing his art, Tokito attacked the demon, trying to understand his abilities. Elsewhere, Mitsuri Kanroji returned to the village and helped out the villagers from the fish-like demons.

As for the fight against Hantengu, Nezuko used her Blood Demon Art to make Tanjiro's sword bright red. Upon witnessing the same, Sekido realized that Tanjiro's sword was similar to that of the person who almost killed Muzan in the past. Tanjiro used Hinokami Kagura to decapitate Urogi, Karaku, and Sekido, following which he witnessed Genya having beheaded Aizetsu, however, Genya's form shocked Tanjiro.

Demon Slayer season 3 episode 6 will most likely reveal Genya's past and how he attained the demon-like form. That being said, it still hasn't been revealed if Genya has control over his form or does he go berserk with the same. Nevertheless, he is set to be focused a lot in the upcoming episode.

As for Tanjiro, his focus might be on defeating Hantengu. Considering that the fight still feels far from over, Tanjiro might look for the demon's original body using his strong sense of smell. Meanwhile, the fight between Muichiro Tokito and Gyokko might be resumed in Demon Slayer season 3 episode 6, as the Mist Hashira was trying to understand the Upper Moon Five's abilities.
