What to expect from episode 7 of the Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc?

In the previous episode of the anime, Kamado Tanjiro faced difficulties while trying to complete the third stage of the Muscle Amplification Training. However, he received valuable advice from Genya Shinazugawa, who suggested utilizing repeated actions and memories to enhance his strength. Following this, Tanjiro successfully moved the rock.

Therefore, in Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc episode 7, it is possible that Tanjiro Kamado will successfully complete the third stage of Gyomei Himejima’s training. This could potentially lead to Tanjiro completing his entire Hashira Training program in the upcoming episode, unless Tomioka Giyu has also started his training. As viewers may recall, Giyu joined the program at a later time than the others, making it difficult to determine if he is following a unique program or not.

Although Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima was introduced in the first season of the anime, there has not been much exploration of his character. However, with the upcoming episode of the Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc titled ‘Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima,’ it is likely that the focus will shift towards him.

Fans have been given insight into the backstories of all the Hashira except for Gyomei Himejima and Obanai Iguro. Therefore, should the next episode of the anime center on the Stone Hashira, it is likely that his past will be uncovered.

In the previous episode of the anime, viewers witnessed Tanjiro Kamado becoming the first of the main trio to successfully move the rock from its original position. As a result, it is possible that in the upcoming episode, Zenitsu and Inosuke will be motivated by Tanjiro’s accomplishment and strive to surpass their own limits in order to move their respective rocks.

After being inspired to seek revenge against Tanjiro, Inosuke wastes no time in starting his training. On the other hand, Zenitsu may need some outside encouragement to find the same motivation.
