Before the release of Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7, the animation studio Ufotable released the preview image and synopsis for the anime's upcoming episode through its official website.

The upcoming episode titled, 'Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima' will be released on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at 11:15 PM JST. The anime will first be televised on Fuji TV and other networks in Japan. After that, it will be available to stream on Crunchyroll and Netflix internationally.

The previous episode saw Tanjiro and Zenitsu begin their training under Gyomei Himejima. While the demon slayers were able to complete the first two stages after some difficulty, the third stage was too difficult. Fortunately, Genya had a good piece of advice for Tanjiro.

What to expect from Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7?

Tanjiro might complete his Muscle Amplification Training in Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7

The anime's previous episode saw Kamado Tanjiro struggling to complete the third stage of the Muscle Amplification Training. Fortunately, Genya Shinazugawa had some advice for him, asking him to use repeated actions and memories to amplify his strength. With that, Tanjiro was finally able to move the rock.

Hence, Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7 may see Tanjiro Kamado finally finish the third stage of Gyomei Himejima's training. This will mean that Tanjiro might finish his entire Hashira Training program in the next episode unless Tomioka Giyu has also begun his training program. As fans might remember, Giyu decided to partake in the program much later than others. Hence, it isn't easy to deduce whether he has an individual program or not.

Gyomei Himejima's past may be revealed in Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7

While Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima was introduced in the anime's first season, the anime has yet to explore much about him. Thus, considering that Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7 is titled 'Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima,' there is a good chance that the upcoming episode will focus on him.

Up until now, fans have a rough idea of each of the Hashira's pasts except that of Gyomei Himejima and Obanai Iguro. Hence, if the anime focuses on the Stone Hashira next episode, there is a good chance that it will reveal his past.

Inosuke and Zenitsu may make progress in Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7

As seen in the anime's previous episode, Tanjiro Kamado was the first one amongst the main trio of the anime to be able to push the rock from its original location. Hence, the upcoming episode could see Zenitsu and Inosuke get inspired by Tanjiro's achievement and surpass their limits to push their rocks themselves.

Inosuke will almost immediately begin his training after getting inspired to get even with Tanjiro. However, it may take some external motivation for Zenitsu to get inspired to do the same.
