Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Hashira Training Arc premiered on May 12th, 2024, with a one-hour-long episode titled To Defeat Muzan Kibutsuji. The show will now be airing one new episode every Sunday. The second episode, titled The Sorrows of the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, is scheduled to be released on May 19th.
As of now, the creators of the show have yet to confirm the total number of episodes in the fourth season. However, it is expected to be shorter than the previous instalments as the Hashira Training Arc is one of the smallest arcs in the manga series, comprising only nine chapters. Hence, there have been speculations that the new season might feature only five to eight episodes, but the final confirmation is still awaited. In comparison, the first comprised 26 episodes, followed by 18 episodes in season 2 and 11 episodes in season 3.
