The Swordsmith Arc in Kimetsu no Yaiba offers the opportunity to explore the relationships between the Hashira as Tanjiro attempts to repair his sword after the intense Entertainment District Arc. The background of Muzan's search for the Blue Spider Lily adds a sense of urgency to the plot, while the episode's animation skillfully blends the series' trademark mix of action and lighthearted moments.
The first episode of the Swordsmith Arc showcases Kimetsu no Yaiba's ability to combine intense, detailed fight scenes with the charming minimalism of its more relaxed segments. Ufotable's animation captures the spirit of the manga, conveying the story through fluid, expressive movements.

The episode also includes the infamous hot springs scene with Mitsuri, depicted with care and attention to detail. Mitsuri's role as a supportive and approachable figure among the Hashira is highlighted.
