Demon Slayer Season 4: Hashira Training Arc Anime Announced, Release Date, and More

With the end of the third season of Demon Slayer, it is announced that the popular anime and manga series will be getting its fourth anime season soon which will adapt the Hashira Training Arc, and a key visual was also released for the upcoming season of the anime.

Demon Slayer Season 4: Hashira Training Arc will be a short anime as there are around 9 manga chapters to be adapted and it should take 4 or 5 anime episodes to adapt the whole story but it is very important to adapt this part from the progress of the story point of view.

This story directly focuses on the protagonist of the series Tanjiro Kamado as he tries his best to reach the higher levels of rankings inside the Demon Slayer Corps and trains to become a Hashira who are most reputed among them. This arc starts at around chapter 128 of the Demon Slayer manga and ends with Chapter 136 making it one of the shortest arcs in Demon Slayer manga.

This might seem not so important at first glance but this is important as this arc shows Tanjiro’s growth and his determination as a Demon Slayer. This arc also plays an important part to set the stage for the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji and his demons.

About the release date of Demon Slayer Season 4: Hashira Training Arc nothing has been decided yet except a Key visual being released. With Season 3 ending just now this is sure that the animators will take a break and Ufotable is also will be focusing on their upcoming project which is an anime adaptation of the famous game Genshin Impact.

We can say that if the animators force their way through it, the Demon Slayer Season 4: Hashira Training Arc might get an early 2024 release otherwise we will have to wait more to see Tanjiro and his team to see on the screen again.

The Japanese title for the series will be Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hashira Geiko-hen and will be animated by Ufotable who has been working on this anime project from the start of the anime. All other details are awaited including a fixed release date and others.

Demon Slayer Season 4: Hashira Training Arc all depends on how fast the production moves if things are already in working mode and the work is being done on the animation already, there is a slight chance that it might receive a Fall 2023 but it seems quite impossible at this moment.
