Demon Slayer Season 4 (Hashira Training Arc) has eight episodes, the fewest ever aired in a season. It is confirmed that further arcs will be a trilogy split into three movies. It was not the season of amazing action scenes we saw in the previous season, but this season was the build-up for the final arc of the anime series.
Demon Slayer follows the story of a young boy, Kamado Tanjiro, who is the main character of the series. He lives in a remote area with his family and cuts wood to sell in the town, but one day, when he is not able to go back home due to heavy snowfall, his family is killed by a demon. Later, when he comes back home, he sees his sister turned into a demon, but he can control it. From there, the story starts when he becomes the Demon Slayer Corps member.
