While the anime's Japanese episodes are released in India at 11:15 p.m. IST on Sundays, the release timings for the regional language dubs are yet to be announced. Hence, fans may want to keep an eye on the announcements made by Crunchyroll on their social media closer to the release date, i.e., June 9.

Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc premiered on Sunday, May 12, 2024, on Crunchyroll, with new episodes simulcasting on the platform every week. Despite the short period, the platform will launch its regional dubs soon on June 9, which is only about one month away from its original premiere.

What is Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc about?

Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc follows the anime's Swordsmith Village Arc which saw Kamado Tanjiro team up with his sister Nezuko Kamado, Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji and Genya Shinazugawa to fight two Upper Moon demons.

While the Demon Slayers won the battle, there was another good news. Nezuko Kamado conquered the sun, making her the only demon capable of doing so.

Such a development saw Kibutsuji Muzan switch his target to Nezuko Kamado. With that in mind, the Hashira created a training program aimed at helping the Demon Slayers attain the Demon Slayer mark, preparing them for the upcoming war against demons.
