Meanwhile, Entertainment District was released in winter 2021 and ended in 2022. Season 3, which has just completed, was released in the spring of 2023.

3. Plot of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 4
Season 4 will adapt the Hashira Training arc, which is a direct continuation of the Swordsmith Village. This arc tells the story of the Demon Slayers undergoing training directly under the Hashira. Tanjiro is still recovering after fighting hard in the Swordsmith Village when he receives news about the Hashira training.
Initially, Giyu unwilling to join as he feels he is not a Hashira. But, the Demon Slayer Corps did not lose its mind. They sent Tanjiro to meet Giyu and convince him in their way. From there, several aspects of Giyu’s past begin to unfold, and the training begins. Specifically, Gyomei pays special attention to Tanjiro.
The Hashira Training arc will bring the audience closer to the end of the journey of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. In the Hashira Training, Kagaya Ubuyashiki has called Tamayo to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to discuss how to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji. Whatever happens in season 4 will have a significant impact in the following season.
With the adaptation of the Hashira Training arc, Kimetsu no Yaiba only has one arc left, the Final Arc. That arc has two sub-arcs, the Mugen Castle, and the Countdown to Sunrise. Although they don’t fight demons in the Hashira Training arc, this arc is crucial to the final journey of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
