But that's a story for another day. For those still in a Hashira Training frame of mind, our guide will fill you in on everything that went down in the past season. That includes a plot recap on all the grueling sessions, info on which manga chapters were being adapted, and English language dub release date times and dates on Crunchyroll, right up to this week's fifth episode.
The first episode sees the Wind and Serpent Hashiras on a rescue mission, which suddenly transforms into a curious piece of intel as they stumble upon the entrance to the Infinity Castle. Unfortunately for them, it slams shut before they can get in.
A dying Kagaya is replaced in a Hashira meeting by his wife, Amane. While there, she makes note of the odd markings that have started appearing on the demon slayers. Also, she believes Muzan will try and claim Nezuko (who has 'conquered the sun') for his own studies. To prepare, she instructs each Hashira to begin training the new generation of Demon Slayer corps, with the teachers creating their own bespoke sessions to fit their personalities and skillsets. The Water Hashira refuses to participate, however.
The second episode revolves around the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka and his backstory with Final Selection training, including the survivor's guilt over only being wounded while his fellow trainee Sabito (who you may remember helped train Tanjiro way back in the first season) died.
The third episode focuses solely on Tanjiro's training with Tengen, the former Sound Hashira. Tanjiro's success during the trials held by Tengen motivates the rest of the Demon Slayer corps to continue working hard so they can support Tanjiro and the Hashira in their fight against Muzan.
The fourth episode sees Tanjiro heading over to Muichiro's dojo, where he witnesses the Mist Hashira admonishing his students for not being quick enough. At one point, frustrated with the lack of urgency by the Corps, he even introduces real swords into training.
To help alleviate some of the tension, Tanjiro suggests a paper airplane-throwing contest - one which Muichiro wins easily. However, the resulting hubbub surrounding the event brings the Corps closer together, as well as letting Muichiro understand he should go easier on the students.
Elsewhere, it's revealed that Muichiro has been training secretly at night with the Serpent Hashira Iguro and Wind Hashira Shinazugawa, but he is seemingly being tracked by one of Muzan's Upper Rank demons...
...and it turns out to be the case. The sixth episode follows Tanjiro's three-part training under the Stone Hashira, which he eventually succeeds in completing. They include an hours-long waterfall meditation, log lifting, and moving a boulder.
Elsewhere, Muzan continues his search for Nezuko but it proves fruitless. Still, the demon's spy network appears to be tracking much of the Corps, which could spell trouble for Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke and the Hashira further down the line.
The seventh episode, meanwhile, sees Tanjiro and Inosuke finish their training. Zenitsu, though, is sent a letter which completely changes his attitude. The contents of the note, as of right now, remain a mystery.
Tanjiro also speaks to the Stone Hashira, who recounts the tragic tale of how he failed to protect a group of orphans from a demon attack, with the sole survivor blaming him and telling authorities that he was the murderer.
Inevitably, Ubuyashiki perishes. But the circumstances are wildly different to anything we (and Muzan) could have anticipated. Ubuyashiki blows up his home, with his family by his side, and wounds Muzan.
While Muzan escapes, he is surrounded by Hashira. As a last resort, he traps the elite Demon Slayers in the demon's home of the Infinity Castle. As Tanjiro falls inwards towards the mind-bending structure, he swears he will be the one to destroy Muzan.
In straightforward terms, expect Tanjiro to harness more of his powers with the help of various Hashira. The Stone Hashira, Water Hashira, Insect Hashira, Wind Hashira, and Snake Hashira have already been confirmed for the Hashira Training arc, with the 'To the Hashira Training' outlining the group's plans to train the Demon Slayer Corps with a series of well-honed regimens that cater to each Hashira's style.
Titled To the Hashira Training, the new Demon Slayer 'movie' (we hesitate to call it a full feature-length adventure) specifically combines Swordsmith Village arc episode 11 with Demon Slayer season 4, episode 1.
The Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka (Takahiro Sakurai), Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro (Kenichi Suzumura), Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho (Saori Hayami), Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa (Tomokazu Seki), Mist Hashira (Kengo Kawanshi), Love Hashira (Kana Hanazawa) and Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima (Tomokazu Sugita) will each be a major presence as Tanjiro begins his training. The former Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui (Katsuyuki Konishi) is also included in the cast.
The most recent trailer for the Hashira Training season was released in March. While it only features footage from the first episode of the upcoming season, it does tease the upcoming arc. The Hashira will guide Tanjiro through to potentially being a Hashira-in-waiting, and they will train the next generation of Demon Slayer Corps against the surviving Twelve Kizuki/Upper Moons.
The first Demon Slayer season 4 trailer featured a quick recap of the arcs covered so far, plus the confirmed clutch of characters in the new arc. You can also see the new poster below, which highlights the Hashira involved in the titular training.
