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.
