The trailer showed various significant moments in the series before drawing the viewers in with the familiar sounds of metal clanging against metal.

The following text reveals that the next location for «the next mission» will be the «Swordsmith Village». Viewers will be excited by the reveal of Tanjiro's shiny new Nichirin Blade, as his last one broke in the battle against Daki and Gyutaro during the Entertainment District Arc.
