Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 2: Release Date and Time, Where to Watch, and More

The release date for Demon Slayer season 4 episode 2 is set for Sunday, May 19, 2024, at 11:15 pm JST. Those residing in Japan can tune in to Fuji TV and other local television networks to watch the broadcast, while Crunchyroll will broadcast it globally, specifically for English-speaking viewers.

The initial installment focused on the storyline of the To The Hashira Training movie, which was released in February. It showcased Tanjiro Kamado and his comrades Zenitsu and Inosuke undergoing rigorous training under the guidance of the Hashira in order to prepare themselves for a final showdown with Muzan and his remaining Upper Moons.

Given the brief length of the arc in the manga and the addition of new scenes in the first episode, fans are anticipating more original anime content, particularly showcasing the Breathing Techniques of Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro.

The series’ official website has announced its collaboration with the streaming platform, however it should be noted that Crunchyroll does require a subscription fee for its services.

Recap of the previous episode

The primary focus of the initial episode was to refresh the viewers’ memory on the events of the previous season, while also setting the stage for what is to come. Due to the fact that Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke are currently not strong enough to take on Muzan and the remaining Upper Moon, they will undergo training with the Hashira in order to gain more power.

In addition, the episode brought back Tengen Uzui, a beloved character who had retired following the events of the Entertainment District arc in the second season. He returned to aid his former comrades, resulting in humorous interactions with his wives. The episode also marked the return of Inosuke and Zenitsu, who were absent in the previous season.

The anime-original scene featuring two of the Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro, and their Breathing Techniques was a surprising moment for many manga readers.

The Hashira Training arc primarily emphasizes preparing Tanjiro and his friends for their ultimate showdown with Muzan in the manga, rather than featuring any major fights. As a result, it is expected that episode 2 of Demon Slayer season 4 will center on character interactions and may also incorporate some anime-exclusive moments, such as those showcasing Obanai and Sanemi.
