Following the premiere of Demon Slayer season 3 episode 5, the official Twitter handle of the anime revealed that the synopsis page for Demon Slayer season 3 episode 6 had been updated. As per the updated synopsis page, the upcoming episode is set to be titled Aren't You Going to Become a Hashira?

The episode will most likely resume from right where the previous episode ended after Tanjiro managed to slice three of the demon's heads at the same time, and witnessed Genya Shinazugawa having decapitated the fourth one. However, the thing that shocked Tanjiro was Genya's form, which seemed similar to that of a demon, considering that his face had fang-like teeth and veins protruding all over.

This hinted that Genya had powers similar to that of a demon, thus Demon Slayer season 3 episode 6 could reveal how he gained this form. In addition, fans can expect a flashback of his past, indicating the reason why he became a demon slayer, and why he aims to become a Hashira, as suggested by the episode's title.

The upcoming episode might feature Tanjiro and Genya teaming up together as they try to locate the main body of Hantengu to defeat the Upper Moon Four demon. However, it is yet to be seen if the demon has more forms in store. That being said, while Tanjiro's sword did turn bright red due to Nezuko's powers, its effects could die down given so much time has already passed, leaving the demon slayers to possibly have a tough time.


For now, fans will have to wait until Demon Slayer season 3 episode 6 is released to find out more.
