Demon Slayer: Hashira Training arc: What all could go wrong with season 4?

Demon Slayer has long been considered 'THE' anime in terms of animation and storyline. The fourth installment of the series, Hashira Trainingarcis almost here, and fans are more than excited about it.But having high expectations is not necessarily a good thing, andthere is a lot thatmay change.So here are some of the things that could go wrong with Demon Slayer: Hashira Training arc.

Could Demon Slayer: Hashira Training arc walk inits predecessor's footsteps?

Demon Slayer has always met fans' high expectations because of Ufotable's excellent animation, but Demon Slayer Season 3: Swordsmith's Village arc fell short.

Short episodes, more fillers

The Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc would be the shortest in the series, with only eight episodes. The first season had 26 episodes, the second had 18, and the third had 11. The downward trend continues, as the Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc will end on June 30. The season will focus on the Hashira training arc, which has just nine chapters in the manga.

Given the one-hour debut,there will be insufficient manga content tospan all eight episodes.So, there's a potential that the anime will feature some unique scenes. There is no guarantee that fans will like the anime-only additions, sothere is a lotat stake.

No major confrontation: Where can I get some action?

One of the main reasons for Demon Slayer's popularity is the anime's incredible fight sequences (here are some of our favourites).Whether it's the all-out battle between Akaza and Flame Hashira or themajorconfrontation between Daki & Gyutaro and Sound Hashira, the animation has always been excellent.However, the Demon Slayer: Hashira Training arc contains no big fight scenes, and demons will not appear until the end of the season.

The Hashira Training storyline is a crucial preparation for the approaching storm and shows how our characters are levelling up, but the absence of battle scenes takes away some of its lustre.

What will Demon Slayer: Hashira Training arc episode 1 be about?

Officially titled "To Defeat Muzan Kibutsuji," the episode's synopsis teases the hour-long debut as follows: "In the village of the swordsmith,the two Upper-Rank demons were defeatedthanks to the efforts of Tanjiro and the two Hashira.
