Demon Slayer, a highly popular anime in recent years, has captivated millions of viewers eager to follow the journey of Tanjiro Kamado and his sister Nezuko. The siblings, tragically transformed into demons after their family fell victim to a formidable demon lord, have left fans eagerly anticipating the unfolding storyline.
This animated show comes from a comic book by Koyoharu Gotouge. The exciting story was told in the comic from 2016 to 2020. Notably, this manga has achieved global acclaim, with over 150 million copies sold worldwide.
Demon Slayer Season 4 is officially in the works, and the exciting announcement came right after the conclusion of season three in Japan. To make it even better, the last episode of Demon Slayer season 3 was extended, treating fans to an extra dose of content. The finale ended with a stunning shot featuring the Hashira, the elite warriors of the Demon Slayer Corps.
The focus was on the Rock Hashira, showcasing the top fighters of the Corps. To add to the excitement, a banner was unveiled, officially confirming the much-anticipated arrival of a new season.
But wait, there’s more! The creators of Demon Slayer also spilled the beans that the upcoming season will dive into the Hashira Training story arc. While they didn’t reveal many details, it’s clear that we can look forward to more thrilling demon-slaying action in the upcoming season. Get ready for an adventure as the Hashira take center stage and new challenges unfold.
When Is the Release Date for Demon Slayer Season 4?
In June 2023, Ufotable excited fans by revealing that Demon Slayer Season 4 is on the way, just after Season 3 concluded in Japan. They shared that the upcoming season will focus on the Hashira Training arc.
Currently, Season 4 is in the works, but the exact return date for Demon Slayer on TV remains unknown. Looking back, the first two seasons were three years apart (2019 & 2022), and Season 3 came just a year after Season 2.
Based on this pattern, it seems plausible that Season 4 might follow suit and premiere in 2024. The Hashira Training arc is crucial in the overall Demon Slayer story, occurring before the manga’s final arc. The fact that this arc is shorter than previous storylines might contribute to a potentially faster production timeline.
Considering all this, there’s a good possibility that Demon Slayer Season 4 could hit screens between April and August 2024. Fans can eagerly anticipate more details as the production progresses.

What’s the Story in Demon Slayer Season 4? Exploring the Plot and Anticipating Events
The next part of Demon Slayer, Season 4, picks up where the story left off in the Swordsmith Village events (covered in chapters 98-127 of the manga). Now, it’s going into the Hashira Training arc (chapters 128-136), which corresponds to the latter half of Volume 15 and the first three chapters of Volume 16 for those using the bundled editions.
Let’s not spill any surprises, but the source material gives us a sneak peek. The book’s summary tells us that Tanjiro is seeking guidance from the Stone Hashira, Himejima, who wants to get him ready for upcoming battles. Becoming a Hashira, a big deal in the Demon Slayer Corps is described as tough. Tanjiro has the challenging task of winning Himejima’s approval, showing how determined he is.
In simpler words, viewers can expect Tanjiro to improve his skills with help from various Hashira, like the Stone Hashira, Water Hashira, Insect Hashira, Wind Hashira, and Snake Hashira – all confirmed for the Hashira Training arc.
Also, this season will focus on Nezuko’s new powers, especially her ability to handle sunlight and be a demon during the day. The main bad guy, Muzan Kibutsuji, knows about this, hinted at in the Swordsmith Village finale, and is expected to go after her non-stop.
Looking ahead, this season seems like a crucial step toward the final part of the anime called the Final Battle arc.
Where Can You Find and Watch Demon Slayer Season 4 Once It Is Released?
You can watch the first three seasons of Demon Slayer on Crunchyroll, and Season 4 will likely be there too. In some places, you can also find the first two seasons on Netflix and Hulu. It’s expected that Season 4 will be on these services too, once Ufotable says it’s okay.
