With the release of Demon Slayer season 4 episode 6, the anime continued to follow the Hashira Training Arc. This installment featured the main character Tanjiro Kamado undergoing Gyomei Himejima’s Muscle Amplification Training. Meanwhile, Muzan Kibutsuji employed Nakime to search for Ubuyashiki and Nezuko.
Despite being only nine chapters long in the manga, the Hashira Training Arc has been expanded into an eight-episode anime by the Demon Slayer team at Ufotable. This decision resulted in the addition of several original scenes in the animation. Therefore, in this article, we will be examining the discrepancies between the manga and anime versions of Demon Slayer season 4 episode 5.
Please be aware that this article includes spoilers from the Demon Slayer manga.
Exploring the Differences between the Demon Slayer Anime and Manga
Several Demon Slayers Chose to Take on Supporting Roles
In episode 6 of season 4 of Demon Slayer, a group of Demon Slayers decided to quit Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima’s Muscle Amplification Training when they found it to be too challenging. This scene was also present in the manga, but the anime included additional dialogue to lengthen the episode’s duration.
As the Demon Slayers left their training and made their way down the hill, they made it clear to Tanjiro that they were prepared to play a supporting role in the fight against Muzan Kibutsuji and the demons. This conversation effectively conveyed their determination to defeat Muzan, despite their perceived weakness, and their willingness to give their all even if it meant fighting from the sidelines.
Tanjiro’s Meal Preparation for Fellow Demon Slayers
In contrast to the Demon Slayer manga where Tanjiro Kamado struggled to prepare lunch for other Demon Slayers, Demon Slayer season 4 episode 6 showed the protagonist’s significant improvement in this role. The episode depicted Tanjiro expertly making rice balls with extra salt to replenish the Demon Slayers’ lost electrolytes from training. Additionally, he impressed with his roasted rice ball-making abilities.
Furthermore, in the anime, Tanjiro is seen preparing dinner for his companions, which was not depicted in the manga. As they enjoyed the rice balls he made, Tanjiro fondly remembered his family, just like in the manga.
The Conclusion of Tanjiro’s Third Stage in Demon Slayer S4E6
Despite receiving advice from Genya Shinazugawa, Tanjiro Kamado was only able to successfully push the rock in the manga. However, in the anime, he was able to complete the task the following morning at dawn.
The anime incorporated additional scenes of Tanjiro preparing dinner for the other Demon Slayers. Although the dialogue in the scene was taken from the manga, the setting was modified.
Muzan Kibutsuji’s Thoughts on Kagaya Ubayashiki
In both the anime episode and manga, Muzan Kibutsuji utilized his new Upper Moon Four Demon Nakime to search for Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Nezuko Kamado. However, the anime also included an extra scene where Muzan pondered the appearance of Kagaya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.
On June 23, 2024, viewers can tune in to watch Episode 7 of Demon Slayer season 4. The episode will be available to watch on both Crunchyroll and Netflix for fans to enjoy.
