The Big Picture

Great news, Demon Slayer fans! Tanjiro has a whole lot more slaying to do, and we will be along for the ride. The highly anticipated fourth season, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba — To the Hashira Trainingis set to premiere this spring, on May 12, 2024 (via CBR), expanding the saga further with the Hashira Training Arc. We have watched what has sometimes been a gruesome journey for a humble charcoal seller, who is forced to watch the death of his entire family. Not defeated by the undeniable grief, he has trained to become a master demon slayer, decimating the various demons that populate the Japanese nether realm. Luckily for us, the story is set to continue with the coming season.

The first season of Demon Slayer aired in April 2019, with the adaptation receiving an extremely positive response from both critics and fans alike. The series returned to screens for a second season in October 2021 before a third season of Demon Slayer came out in April 2023. The fourth season will air on Crunchyroll, coming several months after the theatrical premiere of the first episode. The season will continue the Hashira Training Arc which debuted in February 2024 to brilliant success. The hope remains that the success enjoyed by the film will roll over into the coming season.

Demon Slayer follows the story of Kamado Tanjiro, a young boy who lives and thrives happily with his family. However, his life is ultimately turned upside down when, one fateful day, his family is attacked by a demon, which decimates and kills almost every family member. The only exception to this deadly massacre is his sister, Nezuko. However, Nezuko's case isn't so simple as she is turned into a demon herself. Thus, Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps and sets out on a mission to find the cure for his sister, which will hopefully return her to her original form. Demon Slayer captivated audiences worldwide with its gripping story and stunning animation, ultimately birthing two movies, Demon Slayer: The Movie: Mugen Train and Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village. Mugen Train went on to have a theatrical release, becoming the highest-grossing anime movie of all time in Japan.
