The third season of Demon Slayer featured even more beautifully animated fight scenes and important character moments that would have a huge impact going forward. Since it ended on such a cliffhanger, fans are eagerly awaiting season 4 of Demon Slayer. Luckily, season 4 has been confirmed and here's everything we know so far.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 4 Latest Information
Following the Japanese finale of Demon Slayer Season 3, the Swordsmith Village arc, it has been officially confirmed that Demon Slayer will continue into a fourth season.It was announced more widely at Anime Studio. ufotable's X (old Twitter) and Official (Japanese) Demon Slayer X account. The announcement only states that the anime adaptation will continue by adapting the Pillar Training arc of the manga into an anime. The announcement was accompanied by character art for the five pillars, highlighting those who have not had much screen time thus far.

On December 11, 2023, a new teaser was released, finally revealing that Demon Slayer Season 4 will be released in Spring 2024. The teaser and accompanying announcement confirmed that the season will begin with a special one-hour episode. It was also announced that the movie “Demon Slayer: Pillar Training'' will be released on February 23, 2024, consisting of the final episode of Season 3's Swordsmith Village arc and the first episode of Season 4.

Demon slayer season 4 release date
It has been revealed that Demon Slayer Season 4 will debut in Spring 2024, which could lead to a similar release schedule as Season 3. The official release date for Demon Slayer Season 4 is currently May 12, 2024. How long will the season be? Whether it will last ultimately depends on how many episodes Season 4 is planned to be. If they really only adapt the pillar training arc, season 4 could be very short.
demon slayer season 4 story
Demon Slayer Season 4, as the title suggests, adapts the Pillar Training arc of the manga where Tanjiro undergoes the necessary training to become a Pillar. Tanjiro will train with the strongest pillars, including those who have not appeared much so far, such as Stone Pillar and Scream Island Gyoumei. This provides a great spotlight for these characters and helps fans get a better feel for their personalities than the original Pillars meeting scene.
However, the length of the pillar training arc is very short at only 9 chapters. For comparison, the 11-episode Swordsmith Village arc is 27 chapters long in the manga, meaning each episode is adapted by about two chapters. That suggests that Demon Slayer season 4 will only be 4-5 episodes, or that the season won't just cover this short arc. The arc that comes after the Pillar Training arc is Demon Slayer's Infinity Castle arc, which is 46 chapters long and requires an entire season's worth of episodes in and of itself.

Demon Slayer has historically tried to release entire arcs at once rather than splitting them up over seasons, but that may have to change for Season 4. With all these things, it's hard to say how far season 4 will cover at this point. More official details will clarify the issue.
Characters from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 4
Of course, the main cast will appear in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 4, but I'm looking forward to seeing the pillars get more attention. Many pillars have not played much role in the story yet, such as the Stone Pillar's Screaming Gyoumei, the Serpent Pillar's Iguro Obanai, and the Wind Pillar's Miya Fushikawa, so it is a good idea to introduce these characters and get to know them. It will be an opportunity. Tanjiro spends time training with them one-on-one, giving them the opportunity to build valuable relationships for the final chapter.
Tanjiro doesn't just train with the unfocused pillars. Fan favorites such as Mitsuri Kanroji and Muichiro Tokito from Season 3, and Tengen Uzui from Season 2 also return to help Tanjiro with his training. The story also catches up with Zenitsu and Inosuke, who were sent on another mission away from Tanjiro, so they don't participate in the Swordsmith Village arc. Genya is also with him and has some issues to resolve with his younger brother Saneya.
That's all we know about Demon Slayer Season 4 so far. However, please check back regularly for updates, trailers, and new information as they become available.
