Demon Slayer season 4 has been one of the most anticipated anime releases this year. The shonen title performed exceptionally well over the past few years and also managed to show just how capable the animators at Ufotable are.

The current story arc is intriguing, to say the least, since it deviates quite a bit from what fans are used to seeing in the previous seasons. This arc doesn’t have a primary antagonist and the involvement of demons is slim to none. However, it is arguably one of the most important arcs since it marks the commencement of an all-out war against Muzan and his legion of Upper Moon demons.

Therefore, fans are aching to know more about the Demon Slayer season 4: Hashira Training arc complete release schedule now that the first episode has already premiered.

The Demon Slayer Corps has managed to kill three Upper Moon demons, marking an all-out war against Muzan. The Demon King is getting restless since he has discovered a demon that has managed to conquer the sun.

The Corps are aware of his intentions and are preparing their demon hunters to develop the Demon Slayer Marks, which will lend them an advantage on the battlefield. All the active Hashira have created a training routine to achieve this goal.

Tanjiro managed to develop the Mark first and has had a resonating effect on the rest of the demon hunters. The Hashira and demon hunters hope to capitalize on this situation and prepare to take on the remaining Upper Moon demons as Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s health declines.
