The training in Demon Slayer Season 4 continues as Tanjiro is put through various trials by the Hashira. Fans are currently enjoying the adaptation, but it is also causing them to anticipate what is to come with a sense of dread.
Currently, Demon Slayer is in the process of adapting the Hashira Training Arc. This arc features Tanjiro and other recruits of the Demon Slayer Corps undergoing rigorous training in order to achieve a high-ranking position as a slayer.
Their goal is to achieve the title of Hashira, the most elite rank among Demon Slayers, as the title suggests. The anime adaptation of this arc has incorporated original scenes and utilized additional resources, such as databooks, to further develop the ongoing events.
According to the top comment on a Reddit thread discussing the episode, the showrunners are actively attempting to make the Infinity Castle a painful experience.
“Another user responds, expressing their anticipation of being emotionally moved by witnessing the rookie demon slayers assisting the Hashira in the ultimate battle.”
Essentially, every single one of these cadets becomes embroiled in the battle against Muzan. Unfortunately, not all of them survive. Even without prior knowledge of the manga, it is likely that you predicted this outcome. This speaks to the exceptional quality of the anime, as even those well-versed in the series are preparing themselves for what is to come.
“Another commenter adds that Ufotable’s decision to make us feel more sympathetic towards the Demon Slayer foot soldiers in these episodes is particularly cruel, given the scenes that await them in Infinity Castle and beyond.”
If there was ever a sign of success in producing TV, it would be receiving accusations of cruelty. This shows that the production team has successfully captivated their audience, and is one of the reasons why Demon Slayer has become one of the top anime series.
