Demon Slayer Season 4 Storyline
Demon Slayer’s fourth season will be based on the Hashira Training Arc (chapters 128-136) of the manga, which picks up right after the events of the Swordsmith Village arc in Season 3. According to Viz Media, the plot of the anime’s fourth season will be:
Tanjiro goes to see the Stone Hashira, Himejima, who intends to prepare him for the battles to come. The training to become a Hashira, a high-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps is intense and demanding, and earning Himejima’s approval seems impossible, but Tanjiro won’t give up! Meanwhile, the demon lord Muzan continues to search for the location of Nezuko and Ubuyashiki.
As seen in the Demon Slayer To the Hashira Training movie (review), this season will mainly focus on the training period of our favorite Demon Slayer Corps members – Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke – with all the Hashiras. Hence, get ready for an intense preparation before the epic showdown that awaits us in the upcoming seasons.
