Although it turned out that we’ll have to wait for Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hashira Geiko-hen) a little longer than we expected, the new season is still very close: it’s scheduled for May 12, 2024. Only two months, everyone!
Fans are craving any new details about the upcoming adaptation, but there are still a lot of mysteries around it. We don't know how many episodes the season will have, or if other parts of the stories will be adapted. That’s why it’s exciting to learn even a few little details.
Interview with the lead actor
Crunchyroll interviewed Natsuki Hanae, the voice actor of Tanjiro, and asked him a few questions about the upcoming Hashira Training adaptation. They discussed the impact of Demon Slayer on the industry, fans and staff members, as well as Hanae’s expectations for the season.
The voice actor considers the upcoming arc to be very crucial for Tanjiro’s character development. The Hashira training is something new for the character, so it will be curious to see how he handles it.
There are also hints that Tanjiro will become significantly stronger and his relationships with various Hashira will evolve. Are they going to finally see his true potential? Perhaps even start treating him like one of them?
It’s a very important story arc not only for Tanjiro, but also for the Demon Slayer Corps. It will provide more insight into the backstories of the Hashira and explore their relationships with each other as well as with other characters in the series.
Expectations and promises
The upcoming arc will also offer “an in-depth look at the history and motivations of the Hashiras.” And this is something fans have been dying to learn for ages, since Hashira are incredibly intriguing characters. Season 4 will finally be their time to shine, it seems.
Natsuki Hanae also mentions that he’s incredibly thankful for all the support from the fans. They are the ones who keep Demon Slayer this popular and this big, motivate the staff and make their work this exciting.
The interview managed to capture the interest of the fans, who are very anxious about the upcoming arc and its content. There are concerns that the new season of Demon Slayer might be underwhelming and even disappointing, so hearing the lead actor promising crucial story points fills viewers up with hope.
