Demon Slayer Season 4 Release Date Announced

Update April 9, 2024: Crunchyroll and Aniplex have announced that the former will be streaming Demon Slayer season 4 everywhere in which Crunchyroll is available alongside its Japanese release, starting from May 12, 2024. The series will be available exclusively on Crunchyroll in North America, South America, and Europe, but may be available on other services elsewhere.

Here's how Crunchyroll describes the new season:

To the Hashira Training… 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.

Original story follows.

Demon Slayer is one of the most popular anime in recent years, and it’s not hard to see why — with lovely animation and exciting action scenes, it’s certainly a spectacle to behold. The show’s fourth season is just around the corner, and now we have a release date.

Season 4 of Demon Slayer, called the Hashira Training Arc, has been announced to start airing in Japan from mid-May. It will start with a one-hour special on May 12, 2024 on Fuji TV in Japan, and subsequently will start airing weekly from May 18, according to ANN .

Anime fans were able to get their first look at Demon Slayer season 4 last month, with a compilation film in theaters showing across the world. The compilation film featured the last episode of the Swordsmith Village Arc, the third season of the anime, as well as the first episode of the fourth season.

The ending of the Swordsmith Village Arc saw Tanjiro taking down a major foe and Nezuko overcoming the effects of the sun on her. It was an exciting finale, and opened up a lot of possibilities for the series going forward.

While you wait for Demon Slayer, make sure you’re not sleeping on Netflix’s new fantasy cooking anime , Delicious in Dungeon. We’ve been watching it weekly as it airs, and it’s been absolutely fantastic — especially recently, as we mentioned in our review of Delicious in Dungeon episode 9 .
