A brief recap of Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 3

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 3 skipped forward three years after the events of episode 2. Jinta had wandered the streets of Edo as a ronin demon hunter for the last three years. Recently, Jinta had become a regular customer of a newly opened, run-down soba restaurant run by Ofuu and her father.

Eventually, Ofuu and her father learn about Jinta's current profession as a demon hunter. They tell him about the serial killer that has surfaced recently. The mismatch between the found corpses and the actual number of missing individuals eventually led to Jinta investigating the issue.

Later, Jinta comes across Mosuke, a demon hiding among the humans. Mosuke had been living among the humans due to his dislike for violence. His wife, Hatsu, accepted him despite his demon lineage.

Unfortunately, Hatsu was violated and later murdered by, apparently, the same serial killer who has been terrorizing Edo. Mosuke and Jinta join forces to find the culprit of the murders. The episode ends with Jinta finding Ofuu and walking her back to their house, due to the increasing attacks happening on Edo residents.

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 4: What to expect?

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 4 will see Jinta and Mosuke uncover the secret behind the Slasher and will divert from the mystery-solving format to a more action-oriented format. Although demons have been suspected as the culprits behind the numerous deaths, episode 4 will reveal the actual parties involved in the incidents.
