One of the most highly anticipated anime releases of the year, Demon Slayer season 4 has lived up to the hype. This shonen title has consistently performed well in recent years, showcasing the impressive skills of Ufotable’s animators.
The current arc of the story is undoubtedly intriguing, as it strays significantly from the typical formula seen in previous seasons. Rather than a clear antagonist, this arc focuses on the impending all-out war against Muzan and his army of Upper Moon demons, making it one of the most crucial storylines to date. Despite the sparse presence of demons, this arc remains a pivotal turning point in the series.
As the first episode of Demon Slayer season 4: Hashira Training arc has already premiered, fans are eagerly anticipating the complete release schedule and wanting to know more.
How many episodes will the fourth season of Demon Slayer have?
According to the home media release details, this season is planned to consist of eight episodes, with the initial episode being a special one-hour feature. While it has yet to be officially announced, it is expected that this season will encompass the entire Hashira Training arc as well as include some original scenes created for the anime.
The initial episode was first made available on May 12, 2024, at 11:15 pm JST and later exclusively streamed on Crunchyroll. However, the broadcast and streaming times differed significantly. The first episode premiered on Crunchyroll at 11:45 am PDT. Subsequent episodes, including the second, will be released every week at 10:45 am PDT.

Synopsis of Demon Slayer season 4: Hashira Training arc
The Demon Slayer Corps has successfully eliminated three Upper Moon demons, signaling the beginning of an all-out battle against Muzan. The Demon King is growing increasingly agitated as he has learned of a demon who has achieved the impossible feat of conquering the sun.
The Corps has been made aware of his intentions and is currently preparing their demon hunters to develop the Demon Slayer Marks. This will give them an edge on the battlefield. Each of the active Hashira has designed a training regimen to help reach this objective.
By being the first to develop the Mark, Tanjiro has sparked a chain reaction among the rest of the demon hunters. With Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s declining health, the Hashira and other demon hunters see this as an opportunity to take on the remaining Upper Moon demons. They are determined to make the most of this situation and are preparing for the upcoming battles.
