Here’s how the official site describes the first episode of the Swordsmith Village arc:
An Upper Rank Demon has been defeated for the first time in a hundred years by Uzui, Tanjiro, and his comrades’ effort. This news causes a ripple effect not only among the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, but also the Upper Rank Demons, who have been summoned by Muzan Kibutsuji. Meanwhile, Tanjiro is recovering at the Butterfly Mansion when he discovers that he has upset his swordsmith Haganezuka after chipping his sword and decides to head to the village where the swordsmiths live to talk to him in person.
