Demon Slayer is easily one of the greatest anime of all time. The fact that its movie ended up exceeding expectations to become the highest-grossing anime film of all time is a testament to just how massively popular this IP really is. Demon Slayer's first season was a celebration of animation at its highest quality, coupled with a story that was simple yet truly amazing when it came to its delivery.

So, it's only a given that the hype for Demon Slayer's second season is through the roof, with fans finding it extremely hard to wait for a sequel to what is easily one of the hottest anime shows right now. Until the show comes out, the only thing that fans can do is pray and hope for the fact that the following ten hypothetical scenarios become a reality in the new season.

10 Tanjiro Finding Out About The Nature Of His New Breathing Technique

The events of Demon Slayer and the follow-up movie have basically revealed that Tanjiro is now the wielder of a breathing technique that pretty much no one had heard about before this point.

Watching him develop these powers and become one of the strongest Demon Slayers of all time is bound to a wildly entertaining experience indeed.

9 Nezuko Getting Greater Demon Powers

Nezuko is the most fascinating character in the entire show, with her human-demon duality being a riveting watch. The manner in which she's managed to hold on to her humanity even after being turned is quite amazing indeed.

This, coupled with the powers Nezuko developed during that amazing fight against Rui, has turned her into a must-watch character who is destined for bigger and better things as the show progresses.

8 Zenitsu Using His Full Potential Without Having To Be Rendered Unconscious

Zenitsu's main purpose in the show seems to be to serve as comic relief, but there's no denying the fact that the potential of this character is limitless.

Hopefully, Zenitsu will be able to train properly enough that he would be able to control his breathing even after losing consciousness. If done effectively, this moment is bound to be quite gratifying to watch.

7 Inosuke Coming Into His Own As A Character

While Inosuke is an excellent character who is bound to play a major role in the events to come, one has to admit that his highlights are woefully absent when compared to the other two members of this unlikely trio.

One can only hope that Inosuke manages to shine in a fight on his own. During this moment, the character can showcase the fruits of his training and the uniqueness of his Beast Breathing combat style.

6 Kanao And Tanjiro Getting Closer To Each Other

It's pretty much a given at this point that Kanao and Tanjiro's fates are tied for good. They might not have featured together all that much in the show as of now, but it's only a matter of time before they have some meaningful moments together.

Hopefully, this doesn't serve as the only excuse to put Kanao's character in the spotlight. She certainly seems like a powerful Demon Slayer, and fans would definitely be delighted when she finally shows her true power in battle.

5 Genya Getting More Screen Time

Another major player who hasn't really received the screen time he deserves till now is Genya. He is another mysterious character who could very well turn into one of the more enjoyable parts of the show.

Only time will tell if Genya will get the proper screen time required to establish himself as one of the core characters of this show. While Demon Slayer has a great roster of characters, some of them are not getting the attention they richly deserve.

4 The Fallout Of Kyojuro's Death At The Hands Of Akaza

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train was a visual spectacle, with the stakes at their highest as the members of the Demon Slayer Corps strived to rid a train of demons and secure all its passengers from any harm.

The climax of this movie is easily its biggest highlight, with the party bearing witness to Akaza — one of the Twelve Kizuki. His fight with Kyojuro is absolutely breathtaking, culminating in the latter losing his life for a noble cause.

The consequences of this death are yet to be revealed in the anime, and one can only assume that big things are in store for the war that the Demon Slayers are waging on their enemy.

3 The Reveal Of The Rest Of The Twelve Kizuki's Upper Ranks

Given how immensely powerful Akaza was, the rest of the Twelve Kizuki's Upper Ranks are bound to be just as strong, if not stronger.

The fact that their power dwarfs that of a Hashira as well is a worrying fact. This makes it important for Tanjiro and the rest of his crew to get as powerful as possible so that they can put an end to this demon threat once and for all.

2 Fleshing Out Muzan's Character

Of course, the Twelve Kizuki pale in comparison to their leader, Muzan. The Demon King holds the title of being the first-ever demon to come into existence and is directly responsible for the wave of demons that have ravaged the countryside.

That being said, most viewers know little to nothing about Muzan's character... yet. It's only a matter of time before he receives more screen time, and it's pretty much guaranteed that his motivation and backstory will be elaborated upon considerably as well.

1 Tanjiro And Muzan Meeting For The First Time

Tanjiro in Demon Slayer

Perhaps the biggest and most anticipated moment that fans can't wait for is the first meeting between Tanjiro and Muzan. The latter was responsible for killing off Tanjiro's entire family and turning his sister into a demon, after all.

The manner of vengeance that Tanjiro will exact from Muzan is bound to be a riveting watch. This moment could act as a culmination to Season 2's storylines; however, it might still be too early for these two to have a conclusive faceoff.
