The initial episodes of this new season have established the premise that Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu must become stronger to face Muzan and his most powerful demons.

Recap of the previous episode
As mentioned earlier, while the arc's focus has been on Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke reuniting after the Swordsmith Village storyline and becoming stronger to face Muzan and his demons, this arc has given characters moments to shine through their interactions. A significant portion of the episode was focused on Tanjiro's training with Muichiro Tokito, as the anime expanded upon a section that was only two pages long in the manga.
The episode mostly focused on Tanjiro starting his training with this Hashira, which was different from the one he had with the former Hashira, Tengen Uzui, but also served to give Muichiro a bit more attention.
Perhaps the most notorious moment of the episode was the battle between two more Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro. The duo had already shared another moment in the first episode, which Ufotable included this season. However, this battle stood out as one of the best moments of the season so far, giving them the chance to show off a bit more of their abilities.
What to expect in Demon Slayer season 4 episode 5?
The Hashira Training arc, as most readers of the manga know, doesn't have any significant battles, so fans can mostly expect more character moments, such as training or fleshing out backstories. As the title suggests, this is a training arc focused on making the characters stronger.
Therefore, it's probable that Demon Slayer season 4 episode 5 is likely to focus on character interactions and probably include a few anime-original scenes, such as the ones featuring Obanai and Sanemi in the first episode or the new ones that were introduced in the recent episodes.
