Demon Slayer Season 4 Release Date
Season 4 of Demon Slayer will begin in spring 2024. Although no specific date has yet been announced, we know that the first episodes will be available “at the beginning of April” .
But some lucky people will have the chance to find the Slayers a little earlier. Indeed, this new season will be the subject of previews on the big screen, under the title En route vers le training des pillars. On the menu, we will find the last episode of the Blacksmiths’ Village arc, immediately followed by the first episode of season 4.
But we will have to hurry to secure the few remaining places: in France, the appointment is given for the weekend of February 24 and 25, 2024. Better: a few privileged few who have managed to book in time will be able to attend the preview in the presence of members of the team behind the anime.
In Japan, this preview film has already broken a box office record. And it is entirely possible that the world tour will also sell out.

Demon Slayer Season 4 Plot: What is the Pillar Training Arc About?
The pillar training arc will be the last before the final battle of Demon Slayer: the Slayers therefore had better prepare to face the Upper Moons who will not hesitate to tear them to pieces at the slightest misstep.
The training of the pillars, or hashiras, will follow a certain logic: the “normal” Slayers will have to compete in groups with the hashiras. The goal for the pillars is to face groups of fighters, and for the Slayers to learn to team up while competing against powerful warriors. Finally, this training is an opportunity to learn the capabilities of each ally.
For the occasion, Tanjiro will throw himself headlong into inhuman exercises, alongside Himejima, an uncompromising pillar who will push the young man to his limits.
Fans can rest assured: no, season 4 of Demon Slayer will not be a simple series of inspiring montages of endless training. Other intrigues will mingle with the story, but there is no question of spoiling them here.
For those who can’t wait, the arc adapts chapters 128 to 136 of Koyoharu Gotōge’s manga, which can be found in volumes 15 and 16 of Demon Slayer.
Demon Slayer Season 4 Trailer
Season 4 of Demon Slayer benefited from a video summarizing the previous chapters and announcing the release of previews. If the teaser offered many key visuals, it is not strictly speaking a trailer specific to the pillar training arc.
The final trailer should be released at the end of February, beginning of March, i.e. after the world tour screening of the compilation film Demon Slayer: Road to Pillar Training. The video will certainly be an opportunity to reveal an official release date for the anime.
