The release date for Demon Slayer Season 4 was recently revealed, yet it’s later than you would have thought. Has it been pushed back?
The fourth season of Demon Slayer, one of the most well-liked dark Shonen anime series, is about to premiere. The most recent Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training film, which included the first episode of the future season, the Swordsmith Village Arc ending, and the opening theme named “Mugen” by MY FIRST STORY and HYDE, was a worldwide smash.
The series concludes with Hashira Training before the start of the Final Battle arc. Muzan is focusing on Nezuko and her potential to subdue the sun as Hashira and all the demon slayers prepare for their big confrontation.
The highly-anticipated Demon Slayer Season 4 has just announced its official release date, along with an amazing trailer. However, has the season been delayed?
Is there a delay in Demon Slayer Season 4?
Demon Slayer Season 4 was previously believed to premiere in April 2024. However, according to the latest trailer, the series will air on May 12, 2024.
The release date was anticipated to be in April by a few prominent news outlets. It was even updated on MyAnimeList’s website. On Crunchyroll or the anime’s official website, though, it wasn’t stated. Rumors regarding the April release date began to circulate when the franchise announced the release window on December 10, 2023.
Many understandably expected that Demon Slayer 4 would begin in April, the first month of the quarter when most of the series launched, given that the release date is set for spring 2024. But May also happens to fall inside the previously specified window for publication, indicating that the series hasn’t been postponed.
What will happen in the Hashira Training arc?
There aren’t enough chapters in the manga for a whole season dedicated to the Hashira Training arc—just nine. As a result, passages from the light book will also be adapted for the season. There will be a special one-hour premiere for the first episode.
The narrative takes place when the Demon Slayer Corps starts training to manifest their newly developed marks after the slayers use them to vanquish the Upper Moons. For the first time in generations, mankind have a chance to vanquish Muzan Kibutsuji and the Upper Moons after decades of strife. For most of them, though, the training required to acquire these marks is too rigorous.
