Demon Slayer season 4: Release date, trailer, plot, latest news

Those who have seen Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training will know that the end of the Swordsmith Village Arc saw Nezuko beating the sun, placing a target on her back for others to harness her powers.

Plus, Tanjiro voice actor Natsuki Hanae recently shared a teaser about what we've got in store.

He exclusively told RadioTimes.com: "There’s a lot more training and action that you didn’t see so much in season 1. There’s a really big sense of that in this next season. I think fans will really be able to get behind their favourite characters."

Read on for everything we know so far about Demon Slayer season 4.

Demon Slayer season 4 release date

Demon Slayer season 4 will be released on 12th May - so not long to wait now!

Episodes will be simulcast on Crunchyroll each week - so we're expecting weekly releases on Sundays in the UK.

It was previously revealed that the fourth season, titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc, would be released in spring 2024, keeping in line with previous releases from the show.

Fans recently enjoyed the release of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training, a movie which gave viewers a first glimpse at the upcoming arc.

Dubs for English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu will be produced and released in the future. There is no release date for these just yet.

How many episodes could there be in Demon Slayer season 4?

We're expecting 11 episodes in Demon Slayer season 4, but this has not been confirmed.

Previous seasons have followed an 11-episode arc, so it would make sense if season 4 did the same.

What is the plot of Demon Slayer season 4?

Season 4 will adapt the Hashira Training Arc, which is exactly what it sounds like - Tanjiro goes to train with some of the strongest Hashira in the hopes of becoming one himself.

An official synopsis for season 4 reads: "[Tanjiro joins] the members of the Demon Slayer Corps and their highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira.

"In preparation for the forthcoming final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, the Hashira Training commences. While each carry faith and determination within their hearts, Tanjiro and the Hashira enter a new story."

Recently speaking to RadioTimes.com, voice actor Natsuki Hanae said: "All of the Hashiras are strong, but when you watch the next season, you're about to get a new impression of other characters. I think it is something to really look forward to."
