The release date is coming up soon. Excitement is growing. Viewers are getting ready to see the next chapter in this captivating story.

Release Date Confirmed

The long-awaited Demon Slayer season 4 release date has been confirmed for May 12, 2024. Fans can mark their calendars and get ready to embark on a new journey alongside Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps. The season will be only on Crunchyroll. Viewers can enjoy the latest episodes right after they premiere.

New episodes of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 4 will air weekly on Sundays. They will give fans a steady dose of action, drama, and character growth.

To the Hashira Training Movie

Prior to the season’s official release, a special event titled ‘To the Hashira Training’ took place in February 2024. This event offered fans a limited chance to see the upcoming season. It showed the first episode of Demon Slayer season 4 and the finale of the previous season (Swordsmith Village) as a movie-style experience.

However, it’s important to note that Demon Slayer season 4 is not a movie in its entirety. The ‘To the Hashira Training’ release was a unique way to preview the first episode. It was also meant to generate excitement for the forthcoming season.

Demon Slayer season 4 story: which manga chapters is it adapting?

Season 4 of Demon Slayer will continue the story. It will start where the Swordsmith Village arc left off. The season will adapt the Hashira Training arc from the manga. This arc spans chapters 128 to 136, which are included in the latter half of Volume 15 and the first three chapters of Volume 16 of the Demon Slayer manga.

The Hashira Training arc follows Tanjiro. He embarks on an intense training regimen under the guidance of the Stone Hashira, Himejima. This training aims to prepare Tanjiro for future challenges. It could earn him the prestigious rank of Hashira – a high-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Additionally, the season is expected to delve deeper into Nezuko’s newfound ability to “conquer the sun” and exist as a demon in daylight. This has caught the attention of the series’ antagonist, Muzan Kibutsuji. It sets the stage for more conflicts and revelations.

Demon Slayer season 4 cast

The core cast of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 4 will feature familiar faces reprising their roles. Tanjiro (Natsuki Hanae) and his friends, Zenitsu (Hiro Shimono), Inosuke (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka), and Nezuko (Akari Kitou), will continue their separate journeys. This will happen in the Hashira Training arc.

Joining them will be a lineup of prominent Hashira characters who will play a pivotal role in Tanjiro’s training. The Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka (Takahiro Sakurai) and the Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro (Kenichi Suzumura) will help. So will the Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho (Saori Hayami) and the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa (Tomokazu Seki). Also, Kengo Kawanshi plays the Mist Hashira. Kana Hanazawa plays the Love Hashira. Tomokazu Sugita plays the Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima. They will all help to develop the next generation of Demon Slayers. Additionally, the former Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui (Katsuyuki Konishi) will make an appearance.

Demon Slayer season 4 trailer: new Hashira Training teaser

In March 2024, a new trailer for Demon Slayer season 4 came out. It gave fans an exciting sneak peek at the upcoming Hashira Training story arc. The trailer mainly showed scenes from the first episode. But it also set up the challenges that Tanjiro and his friends will face.

The trailer highlighted the Hashira, which are the elite Demon Slayer warriors. The Hashira will be training Tanjiro through really intense exercises. Tanjiro is working to become a Hashira-in-waiting, which is like being an apprentice Hashira. The Hashira will share their skills to prepare the next generation of the Demon Slayer fighters.

The trailer also teased the threat from the remaining Upper Moon demons, who are incredibly powerful enemies. This hints that there will be epic battles and shocking reveals coming up in the story.

The new season 4 trailer gives fans a taste of the first episode’s action. It also builds anticipation for Tanjiro’s tough training and the looming demonic threats.

Demon Slayer season 4 episode count: how many episodes are in the Hashira Training arc?

We don’t know exactly how many episodes DS season 4 will have yet. But it will probably be shorter than past seasons because there isn’t as much source material from the manga for the Hashira Training story arc.

Previous DS seasons had different lengths. Season 1 had 26 episodes. The Mugen Train arc was 7 episodes. The Entertainment District and Swordsmith Village arcs were each 11 episodes.

Since the Hashira Training arc only covers chapters 128-136 of the manga, it’s unlikely that season 4 will be as long as the earlier seasons. Fans think it could be a short 6-episode run or maybe 8-10 episodes if it’s a bit longer.

Some fans even suggest it could be a very short 2-3 episode mini-arc. It would lead into the big Final Battle/Infinity Castle arc that everyone is looking forward to.

There will be many episodes. Fans can expect action and emotion. Tanjiro is getting ready for his final showdown against the villain Muzan Kibutsuji.

Where to watch Demon Slayer

The first three seasons of DS are available to watch on Crunchyroll. The first three seasons are now also available on Netflix.
