Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc anime adaptation is scheduled for May 12, 2024.
The number of episodes is still unknown.
Fans think it’ll take about 6 episodes to adapt this arc.
Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hashira Geiko-hen) revealed new information during the past weekend, but it feels like the main questions are unanswered. We still don’t really know what the new season will be like.
The series revealed a new visual and a new trailer, but the most important news is a proper release date. The series was said to be scheduled for April 2024, but the new announcement sets the date for May 12, 2024. A little more waiting than we expected, but nothing we can’t handle, right?
Episode count
It’s still unclear how many episodes there will be in the new season of Demon Slayer. Fans have been wondering about it for ages, since the Hashira Training Arc is rather short (9 chapters), and it’s definitely not enough for a full season.
There have been speculations about the new season having a number of fillers and anime-only content, but it feels like fans have another idea now. Demon Slayer might follow in Jujutsu Kaisen’s footsteps.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 started with Gojo’s Past Arc, which is 15 chapters long. It took the anime 5 episodes to adapt this arc, and those episodes were released before the series took a small hiatus to finish its season with the adaptation of the Shibuya Incident Arc.
Therefore, fans think it’s possible that there will be 5-6 episodes that will adapt the Hashira Training Arc, and then the series will announce something new.
There are two possible ways to handle this situation. Season 4 might continue after a hiatus and start adapting the next part of the manga, the Infinity Castle Arc, which, as fans have said, was teased in the Hashira Training movie.
Or they might decide to leave Season 4 as it is, i.e. having only 6 episodes, and then adapt the final two arcs in the final season, or even make two more seasons. Having a 6-episode season is quite uncommon for a series like Demon Slayer, but fans think it would make a lot of sense in this case.
The anime adaptation of the Hashira Training Arc starts with an hour-long special, which also confuses fans. If this arc is so short, then an hour-long special will cover almost half of it, which means ufotable is still hiding something.
That’s why fans are expecting a new announcement coming somewhere in May or even later, in summer, that will explain everything to us.
There are still a lot of questions.
