What to expect in Demon Slayer season 3 episode 8?
The previous episode ended on a massive cliffhanger, as we saw Kotetsu receive a blow to his solar plexus, which is a vital point. However, the demon's attack didn't really pierce through his vital point, and the blood stains were from his hand, which was injured in an earlier attack.
Tanjiro had given Kotetsu a hilt that belonged to Kyojuro Rengoku. This hilt that Kotetsu placed near his belly region saved him from an unexpected death.
Since Muichiro was able to free himself from the Upper Moon 5 demon's Water Prison Pot, he would get back in action and save the swordsmiths present in the shed.
Halfway through the episode, the focus will shift towards another battle that is taking place elsewhere. Both Genya and Tanjiro look like they've reached their limit. Zohakuten's power levels were quite different from the individual demons that Tanjiro took on. Tanjiro might reach a point of exhaustion.
However, the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji will save him in the nick of time. Her appearance in the next episode of Demon Slayer will be pivotal. She would take on Zohakuten and showcase some of the power from the Love Breathing technique.
If things progress quickly in the next episode, fans might also get to witness Mitsuri's backstory. Every Hashira's backstory is important, as it gives us a glimpse into their past and allows us to understand their reason for joining the Demon Slayer Corps. While Mitsuri's backstory may not seem as tragic as some of the others', it will show a different side to the hardships taht women faces in a feudal society.
Furthermore, exploration of the backstory will also provide us with an explanation of Mitsuri's superhuman strength. The upcoming episode will surely pack a ton of action as the battle between the demon hunters and Upper Moon demos rages on.
