Demon Slayer: To the Hashira Training Movie: Worth a Watch or Skip?

Demon Slayer: To the Hashira Training Movie: Worth a Watch or Skip?

Should you wait for the season release instead?

Summary:

  • Demon Slayer: To the Hashira Training movie is out in the US.
  • The movie is impressive, but there isn’t much fresh content.
  • There are a couple of scenes that weren’t in the manga.

Demon Slayer: To the Hashira Training (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hashira Geiko-hen) premiered in the US on February 23, and the first weekend is already over. Which means it’s time to talk about fans’ impressions and decide whether the movie is even worth watching.

Not much new content

As you probably already know, the Hashira Training movie won’t be 100% fresh content: it includes two last episodes of the Swordsmith Village Arc and will have just the first episode of the new season.

This fact is the most important if you’re trying to decide whether to go see the movie or not. If you’re ready to pay some money to sit through the old episodes to get a fresh one, go for it. But if you’re not, perhaps it would be more clever to wait for the official Season 4 premiere (April 2024).

Fans think that the Hashira Training movie will work best for those who haven’t watched or finished the Swordsmith Village Arc. Just leave the last two episodes of the season untouched for now and experience them in the cinema along with the beginning of Season 4.

Is it good, though?

It seems like the most discussed part of the movie is it being a somewhat recap project, and not its quality, and it’s easily explained: To the Hashira Training is amazing, and there isn’t much to discuss.

The new episode met all fans’ expectations and was even better than some fans thought. There were a couple of extra scenes that weren’t in the manga, and fans pointed out how good they looked and how much they loved them.

The extra scenes also add more action to the Hashira Training Arc, which is notorious for being short and rather uneventful, and there’s hope the actual season will follow suit and be just as exciting as the first episode.

This only makes them more confident that the upcoming Demon Slayer season is going to be amazing, and fans are getting ready to praise their favorite series once again.

But going back to the movie, we have a piece of advice. If you’re a hardcore fan who’s ready to pay any money to watch even a glimpse of fresh Demon Slayer content, you’re sure to enjoy the movie. But if you’re not a fan of recaps and compilations, waiting for April might be your best choice.
