Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 7 expected plot

As mentioned earlier, Episode 6 covered Genya’s backstory and their fight against the fifth body of Hantengu, the embodiment of fear. However, due to the body being immensely strong and small, Tanjiro and Genya are not having a great time beheading it, thanks to some more interference from the other four clones.
However, Episode 7 should finally introduce the biggest threat to all the demon slayers present in the village. As Hantengu is finally on the brink of defeat, he will restore to playing his final card. However, the Love Hashira, Mitsuri should join the battle too alongside Tanjiro, Genya, and Nezuko. Moreover, we are yet to witness Muichiro Tokito and Gyokko’s battle. Hence, Episode 7 should cover a bit of that too.
