Dragonball Evolution star apologizes to Akira Toriyama Prime VideoThe live-action movie, Dragonball Evolution’s star pays tribute to Akira Toriyama and also apologizes for the disappointing film. Dragon Ball is one of the most popular anime and manga franchises in the world, with several spin-offs and movies under its belt. Akira Toriyama originally published Dragon Ball in 1985, and had been actively working on the manga for over four decades. His sudden death on March 7 due to acute subdural hematoma has shocked the entire world. Several artists and actors paid tribute to the legendary mangaka, whose work inspired countless souls. News of the mangaka’s death was revealed via the official Dragon Ball Z Twitter account. The account shares a letter to their fans as well as those close to Toriyama. Justin Chatwin, the Canadian actor who played the live-action Goku in Dragonball Evolution, the Hollywood film adaptation, also paid tribute to Toriyama, along with an apology note. Dragon Ball live-action actor Justin Chatwin apologizes to Akira Toriyama Justin Chatwin shared an Instagram story saying, “Rest in peace, brother. And sorry we messed up the adaptation so badly.” The story is no longer available on Instagram, but one Twitter user screenshotted this and shared it. The live-action movie removed most of the fantasy and sci-fi elements of the original Dragon Ball movie. The film is set in a modern American high school. The story follows young Goku, who goes on a quest to find Master Roshi and the seven Dragon Balls upon his late grandfather’s request. While Goku only has one of them, he proceeds to collect the rest before Piccolo, who wants to use the power of the Dragon Balls to take over the world. Directed by James Wong and produced by Stephen Chow, Dragon Ball Evolution was released in 2009, earning severe backlash from fans and critics alike. It currently has a score of 2.5 on IMDb and 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama hated the live-action movie so much that he stepped out of retirement to work on the anime series again. Additionally, according to the 30th Anniversary Dragon Ball Super History Book, Toriyama said: “I had put Dragon Ball behind me, but seeing how much that live-action film ticked me off, and how I revised that script for the anime movie and complained about the quality of the TV anime, I suppose somewhere along the line it’s become a series I like too much to ever leave alone.”

Dragon Ball fans choose the worst way to die in the series Toei AnimationWhether it’s being blown away with an energy beam, pulverized by a flurry of fists, or being melted and eaten by the perfect lifeform, some of the deaths in Dragon Ball are outright gnarly. Dragon Ball is renowned for its fantastical fights and over-the-top dramatic anime action, but we tend to forget there are real people in the series who feel pain and are scared of dying. This school of thought has caught the attention of fans as they discuss some of the worst ways they’ve seen people go in the series. Death in the Dragon Ball has little consequence when you can rely on the magical wish-granting dragon Shenron to have your back if worse comes to worst. However, you cannot deny that the methods some villains use to dish out death and destruction can be ruthless and trauma-inducing. Yes, they often come back to life, but they still die first, and that’s got to suck. Fans discuss worst ways to go in Dragon Ball Being resurrected may be in Dragon Ball common, but the ways these fans have reminded us of the brutal ways characters have died or been otherwise severely injured will leave you saying, “Gonna need a Senzu for that one” at the very least. Spoilers for Dragon Ball ahead. While death seems more of a hiccup than a genuine consequence in Dragon Ball fans acknowledge the way some main characters and occasionally the innocent citizens get brutalized can come across a bit traumatizing. While Krillin didn’t die from the attack as u/infernalbutcher678 points out it was anything but pleasent. Going back to that “innocent citizens” mention, bystanders are not immune to the effects of the Z Warriors battles, as u/Akschadt points out when Cell went on a rampage drinking people by dissolving their insides, and when Majin Buu made someone explode by forcefully going down their throat until the victim exploaded. Even villains such as the forgettable Spopovich of the Majin Buu saga, most known for his ferocious fight with Videl, faced a cruel fate of slowly swelling up until he eventually exploded from a magic attack from his boss Babidi when he ran out of use for the fighter. We’ll warn you now: it’s pretty brutal by Dragon Ball standards. Though I’m sure we all wish we could fly, fire energy beams from our palms, or go Super Saiyan like Goku in Dragon Ball, we are thankful we live in a world where a tiny evil wizard can’t blow us up with just a thought or a walking bug-man won’t literally drink our insides leaving us as skin sacks… ew.

Dragon Ball fans feud over Kai vs original DBZ dub as Toonami honors Toriyama ToeiOn March 16, Toonami will be honoring Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama with a special marathon of Dragon Ball Z Kai, but some fans are upset the network isn’t airing the original dub instead. Dragon Ball Z is one of the most iconic anime of all time. The industry paid tribute to the show’s creator after learning he died on March 1. The Dragon Ball manga spawned many anime adaptations and movies, with Kai serving as a remaster of DBZ for the series’ 20th anniversary in 2009. Kai notably trimmed a lot of Z’s filler, airing just 159 episodes compared to the original’s 291. However, as fans continue to mourn the loss of Toriyama, a debate has arisen in the community about whether Kai or the original 1989 anime and its English dub is superior. Dragon Ball fans wage war over Kai vs DBZ debate Following news that Toonami would be airing a four-hour Dragon Ball Z Kai marathon from 2 AM – 6 AM on March 16, the fandom was immediately at odds. While some welcomed the tribute, others believed that the original dub would be better, as it’s what they were first introduced to in the West. OG dub gets better as it goes and Kai gets worse. It’s extra noticeable with Buu and Majin Vegetas speech. It’s terrible in Kai. — Chris Ray Gun (@ChrisRGun) March 13, 2024 “OG dub gets better as it goes and Kai gets worse. It’s extra noticeable with Buu and Majin Vegetas speech. It’s terrible in Kai,” YouTuber Chris Ray Gun argued. Many others felt that Kai being closer to the magna gave it an edge over the original run, but some felt both had their flaws. “DBZ Kai is closest to Toriyama’s intent. Old dub is iconic but not appropriate to honor him,” another chimed in. “The original English dub did NOT even try to honor Toriyama’s vision at all. Why would you want that?” dismissed someone else. “You’re never going to convince the other side which is better. It’s subjective. One is closer to the source material. The other is the version that the West got introduced to. Both have valid reasons as to why they are loved,” another remarked with a more neutral stance. Dragon Ball YouTuber Geekdom101 also shared his take, recommending that viewers instead read the manga in honor of the series’ creator. “There are pros and cons to both versions, but what I will say, there’s no time like the present to read the original manga. I’m hoping more people will do that in these times,” he said. Regardless of whichever version fans prefer, one thing everyone seems to agree on is that Akira Toriyama will be missed. Following his passing, 30,000 fans gathered in Argentina for a huge tribute and had everyone from WWE superstars to other anime artists honoring his life and legacy.

Dragon Ball Daima star teases mystery surrounding Goku’s latest transformation CrunchyrollWe’re eagerly awaiting Dragon Ball Daima, the return of Goku and the Z Fighters to television after the conclusion of Dragon Ball Super. The show presents a mysterious new enemy, and not even the stars know what’s going to happen. Dragon Ball Daima shot right to the top of the most anticipated anime shows when it was revealed in late 2023. Not only were we getting more of Goku, Vegeta, and the Z Fighters, but the late Akira Toriyama had a pivotal role in production. The stakes are a bit lower this time around, with the plot following the heroes getting turned into children by some form of ominous villain. But after the universe-destroying antics of Super, it’s nice to be back in more grounded territory. We don’t know much beyond that premise, and it turns out the cast doesn’t either. At least, according to one major voice actor. Goku voice actor doesn’t know what will happen in Dragon Ball Daima Masako Nozawa, a long-time actor of Goku in the Dragon Ball franchise, has commented on what’s coming in Daima. She mentions she gets excited about seeing Kid Goku again, and notes she’ll be watching to see what happens like the rest of us. “Goku was so adorable and wonderful! I wonder about the conspiracy behind Goku’s new appearance,” she says. “I’m very curious, but I’m told the details are still a secret! I’ll be waiting for the new anime along with all of you! I hope you look forward to it too!” Although she is playing coy, there’s also a very good chance she simply doesn’t know yet. Actors are often only given their lines, especially in anime, and even then the scripts might only be available for a certain portion of episodes. Anime is often produced to extremely tight deadlines, and Masako might have only contributed lines for the first few episodes so far. Thankfully, we don’t have very long to wait, as Dragon Ball Daima is due to arrive this fall. Check out our guides on how to watch Dragon Ball and watch Dragon Ball Z to catch up on the Goku’s journey.

Dragon Ball Daima reportedly “inspired” by Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer Toei/CrunchyrollA new Dragon Ball anime series is finally coming in 2024 with Dragon Ball Daima – and it turns out that Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer could play a factor in the show’s “inspiration.” Dragon Ball Daima was officially announced at New York Comic Con after weeks of leaks building up to the big reveal. The series will see Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and the rest of the Z fighters transform back into kids, and go on a quest in order to become adults again while fighting off new enemies. Although the show appears to be aimed at a younger audience and may not feature DBZ-like gore, it turns out the series could be drawing influence from more mature series. Dragon Ball Daima will be influenced by Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer In a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, insider ‘AnimeAjay’ revealed new details about the upcoming Dragon Ball series and its production. For instance, the leaker reported that fans can expect major players from Dragon Quest Dai to make appearances as key animators. According to AnimeAjay, while indeed the series is targeted toward younger viewers, there will still be “dramatic moments” with a couple of wildly successful anime providing inspiration. “Production documents state Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer as sources of inspiration,” he explained. The insider would later provide additional context, revealing that “The inspiration refers to the production values and meeting that quality was a goal established back during Dai’s production, as well.” With so much care going into Daima, it’s clear that it won’t face the same production and animation issues of Dragon Ball Super. We’re still a year away from Daima’s release, but expect plenty more details to surface in the months ahead as Dragon Ball finally makes its anime return.

Dragon Ball Daima release date revealed – and there’s more good news CrunchyrollDragon Ball Daima, the highly-anticipated return of Goku and the X Fighters to the small screen, finally has a premiere date. Dragon Ball Daima is easily one of the biggest upcoming anime of the year. Goku and his pals haven’t been in an anime show since 2018 (yes, that’s how long it’s been since Dragon Ball Super ended), and Akira Toriyama’s untimely death has only made the excitement stronger. Since Daima was announced in 2023, we’ve had a steady drip of details, and now we’ve got the release date. Dragon Ball Daima kicks off on October 11, 2024 in Japan with an extended episode, and the whole season is already in the can. The news comes from Fuji Television, the TV show’s broadcaster in Japan. Episode 1 will be 10 minutes longer than the rest of the season, and “All episodes of Dragon Ball DAIMA are done,” according to Nakajima Yuichi, Programming Director. That second part is unusual for the industry. Anime and manga are typically produced to pretty tight deadlines, often causing delays, breaks, and hiatuses among creative teams and studios. One Piece takes a break every few weeks, and shows such as My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen usually have a split somewhere in any given season. All of Daima being done lessens the risk of there being any delay, outside of public holidays and such. It’s also an indication the team behind it were given ample time and resources to get the job done, something that should be more commonplace. Watching Daima will be bittersweet, since it’s the last work Akira Toriyama has contributed to the franchise. The production, featuring Goku, Vegeta, and company transformed into childlike versions of themselves by some mysterious entity, takes place before Super in the overall timeline, so it should be more comedic in tone. We’ll see in October. Check out our guides on Dandadan and Lazarus for other releases on the way.

Dragon Ball Daima reveals awesome Jujutsu Kaisen connection ToeiDragon Ball Daima now has an amazing connection to Jujutsu Kaisen after casting one of the anime’s lead voice actors. After a very long wait, Goku and co. are returning to our screens – but with a twist. Instead of their beefed-up glory, we’ll be seeing the group in miniature versions in Dragon Ball Daima. Along with the old, familiar faces, there will be some new ones, too. One of them is Degesu, a Demon Realm-dwelling Core Person who’ll play the primary antagonist in the upcoming anime. Incidentally, he’ll be voiced by Junya Enoki, who also voices the protagonist Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen. “It was a while after my audition that I learned I had been chosen, so it was quite a happy surprise for me and I thought, ‘I actually got the role!’” the voice actor said about being cast as Degesu in Dragon Ball Daima. “It was quite a happy surprise for me.” He continued, “Toriyama-sensei wrote the story himself, so the Dragon Ball from up to now is being passed on to a new Dragon Ball for the Reiwa period, and it feels like the Dragon Ball level is at 100%. I think everyone from children to adults will enjoy this, so I hope you will all watch it.” Thanks to Enoki’s stint in MAPPA’s popular anime show, we know we’re up for a treat to have him voice the main villain of the series. The voice actor has already shown his impressive range – from innocently cheerful to coldly furious to brooding and depressive – as Yuji. But that’s not Enoki’s only achievement. The popular seiyuu (Japanese voice actor) has also voiced characters from significant anime series like young Reiner from Attack on Titan, Fugo from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind, and Nasa from Tonikaku Kawaii. He’s expected to give another great performance as Degesu in Dragon Ball Daima. Along with the villain, we’ll meet two new characters in the show, including Dr. Arinsu and Gomah. They’ll be voiced by Yoko Hikasa (voice of Rias Gremory) and Showtaro Morikubo (Shikamaru Nara), respectively.

Dragon Ball Daima is missing a major character, but fans think it’s for good reason ToeiDragon Ball Daima is coming this October, and so far one major character has been missing from promotion, leading to all sorts of speculation. Dragon Ball Daima might be the biggest upcoming anime of the year, given that it’s the return of an iconic franchise and Akira Toriyama’s last major work in the property following his untimely death. The anime show arrives in October 2024, and seems like it’ll cap off 2024 in epic fashion. Trailers and images have shown us many of the expected heroes, including Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, and more, all in kid form due to a curse. But one is curiosly absent: Gohan, Goku’s first son. We haven’t seen anything of Gohan thus far, a very unusual detail since he’s generally in the thick of it, tackling whatever villain the Z Fighters are up against. Fans have noticed the trend, and they’re starting to throw around theories. “Has anyone found it weird or not noticed all that Gohan is nowhere to seen at all with Daima,” one fan says on Twitter. “It would be BS if he’s not even in Daima when his father-in-law is shown as a mini version of himself,” another adds, referring to Mr Satan. “The dream that Gohan is the only adult in Daima lives on,” a fan posits, suggesting there’s good reason for Goku’s child to be kept offscreen for the time-being. “So they’re definitely hiding something with Gohan right? Man’s literally the only major Z Fighter that we’ve seen absolutely no sign of thus far, including all his extended family besides Videl,” a Reddit user states, echoing the notion something is going on. It’s a compelling theory. Gohan somehow avoids whatever dark magic makes everyone else become chibi, making him the de facto babysitter and representative adult for anything that needs to be done in the real world. As much fits Akira’s style and sense of humor. After all, Dragon Ball has always had a large strain of situational comedy running through it, from the original series to now. We don’t have long to wait to find out. Have a look at our guides to My Hero Academia: You’re Next and Dandadan for other big releases coming this year.

Here’s everything you need to know about it. There’s no doubt that Dragon Ball is one of the most popular franchises in the world, which is why it always overshadows the creator’s other manga series. Akira Toriyama has created several manga series over the span of his career. One of them, Sand Land, is a short manga series that was published in 2000. It was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump but soon got lost in the endless stream of Shonen manga. Additionally, it was later compiled in a single volume.

Dragon Ball Daima announced with first official trailer Toei AnimationDragon Ball Daima was announced recently at New York Comic Con, a piece of exciting news for the community, especially for Dragon Ball GT fans. Dragon Ball is one of the most prominent franchises that’s been running for several decades, encompassing several anime series like Dragon Ball, DBZ, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super. The franchise has also given us multiple movies, including Dragon Ball Super Broly and DBS: Super Hero. Akira Toriyama initially decided to end the manga series with DBZ, but the popularity of the franchise motivated the mangaka to return with DBS, which is currently ongoing. Between DBZ and DBS, we got a popular untold story titled Dragon Ball GT; however, after Toriyama’s return, GT was announced as a non-canon story, which disappointed many fans. Fortunately, the upcoming series comes as good news for fans who want more of GT. Toei Animation announces Dragon Ball Daima at NYCC On Thursday, October 12, 2023, Toei Animation announced Dragon Ball Daima anime, which will bless our screens in Fall 2024. The upcoming series will feature a narrative that has never been told in the Dragon Ball universe. Toei Animation revealed that DB Daima will pick up several elements from Dragon Ball GT. However, unlike GT, Daima is supervised by the legendary author Akira Toriyama. Also, Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, the animator who worked on Dragon Ball Z, is involved in the animation and character creation of the newly announced series. The official announcement was accompanied by a mesmerizing trailer featuring iconic characters like Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Bulma, and others. However, this time, we will see these characters in a new avatar. The show will introduce a new character who will turn Goku and other main characters into kids through a wish from Shenron. After turning into kids, Goku and others travel through different universes to figure out a way to turn back into their normal selves. We do not yet know how many episodes will be featured in Daima, and neither do we know anything about the exact release date. For now, it’s confirmed that the anime will premiere sometime in Fall 2024. So, hopefully, we will get more information about the episode count and the release date soon.

Dragon Ball Daima divides fans with new character designs CrunchyrollDragon Ball Daima has revealed new character designs, with fans left divided ahead of the anime’s release. Dragon Ball is one of the most popular anime and manga franchises in the world, with several spin-offs and movies under its belt. Its next release is an anime adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s manga, Dragon Ball Daima. The story centers on Goku and Kaiōshin as they turn into kids by a demon. Now, they must find a way to return to their original bodies. However, that’s easier said than done when the villains are stronger than ever. While the series doesn’t have an official release date yet, it will start airing in October 2024. It’s also revealed its revamped character designs, including Gomah, Masked Majin, Glorio, Goku, Supreme Kai, Vegeta, and Piccolo. One fan shares, “As much as I really want to watch his for Toriyama, I just can’t because the terrible designs and chibi style is not doing it for me. Also, I don’t want to force myself to watch this too. Plus I have Bleach Blood War Part 3 and Arifureta Season 3 too.” “Personally I would have liked if Goku’s hair would be more off-model from previews and they took away the shine, it makes it look almost bubble gum-like. Cannot wait for the show though,” another wrote. A third wrote, “It’s clear that the masked majin is Panji, but the most interesting thing is that we finally have the name and design of the new villain.” However, while some fans are unhappy with the new design, others are pleased with the update. One of them tweeted, “New Dragon Ball makes my soul happy. No basement-dwelling loser on here is gonna make me hate it, you all can be miserable alone.” For more of the finest anime on offer, check out our lists of the best short anime, highly anticipated upcoming anime in 2024, most underrated anime of 2023, and the best anime like One Piece.

Dragon Ball Daima episode one anime details leak ahead of 2024 release ToeiNew information about the upcoming Dragon Ball Daima anime has been leaked, including details about what fans can expect from the first episode. Dragon Ball is finally returning in anime form, but not as a continuation of Dragon Ball Super as some have hoped and new details have emerged ahead of its Fall 2024 release. At New York Comic Con, Toei showcased the first trailer for Dragon Ball Daima, confirming that kid Goku will be returning, immediately sparking comparisons to GT. Unlike GT, however, series creator Akira Toriyama is heavily involved and this new anime has been a long time coming, with over four years of production time. Now, fresh info has begun spreading about Daima, with episode one nearing completion. Dragon Ball Daima leaks reveal new story details and more The Dragon Ball Daima details come from DBZ YouTuber Geekdom101, who had previously accurately revealed info about the anime before its official announcement. According to Geekdom, much of Daima’s first episode was shown in the reveal trailer and early on in that episode, there will be a huge animation shift. Reportedly, the episode will begin with vintage Dragon Ball Z-style art and be reminiscent of that classic 90s appearance that fans love, but it’ll end up transitioning to look more modern like Dragon Ball Super Broly. Geekdom says that the two unnamed villains put a curse on Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and the rest of our heroes, transforming them back into their child forms. However, they’re unable to return to their adult bodies by using the Dragon Balls to break the curse, because it’s from the demon realm. This then eventually leads to Goku and the Supreme Kai going off to begin the first arc of Daima, where they’ll go to new locations, meet new characters, and find a way to reverse the curse. Not only that, but Daima will also feature blood, something that was mostly absent from DBS. This is likely because the series will be a streaming anime as opposed to airing on television. Interestingly, Geekdom further notes that Toriyama is approving the scripts for the series and editing them to keep the show more in line with his vision compared to production issues that plagued Super. We’ll receive a lot more info about Daima in the weeks and months ahead, so be sure to keep it locked to Dexerto for all the latest Dragon Ball news.

Dragon Ball Daima release window, first trailer, & everything else you should know ToeiAkira Toriyama’s swansong in the franchise that made his name will arrive in 2024, and we have all the details you need to know on Dragon Ball Daima. Finally, Goku and the Z Fighters are coming back for another anime show. After fighting gods, Broly, and the pesky Red Ribbon army again, the crew are tackling some strange magic in Dragon Ball Daima. Our beloved heroes are turned into children for the Shonen anime, forcing them to handle the mysterious evil in their adorable, child-like forms. It’s all very cute already, extremely in line with Akira’s blend of comedy and action. Since this will be Akira’s last work within the Dragon Ball universe, since he died in March 2024, anticipating is huge for the upcoming anime. So, when can you sit down to watch it? Dragon Ball Daima release window Dragon Ball Daima will release sometime in October 2024. However, we don’t have a release date yet. This came with the show’s announcement back in October 2023, at New York Comic Con. No updates have been forthcoming since then, although part of that might be tied to Akira’s death. There was no mention of Daima at Anime Expo 2024, so we’ll probably hear more at San Diego Comic Con 2024. Watch this space. Dragon Ball Daima trailer The latest Dragon Ball Daima trailer arrived in January 2024, and it features Kid Goku fighting a bunch of enemies. There’s no dialogue, just animation and music, as we see some monsters, and Goku flipping around, ready to take on any opponent. Previous trailers have given us more context for the overall situation. The big bad is teased – some form of sorcerer – and we can see other heroes, such as Piccolo and Vegeta, in kid form as well. A new trailer dropped in July 2024, finally giving a proper release window for the highly anticipated upcoming anime. It has no dialogues, only snippets of action with a rousing music in the background. So far, the production looks smooth and boldly colored, up to the standard for Dragon Ball Super and the resent movies. Toei Animation is handling everything as per usual, and so far, it looks like another strong entry in the franchise. What will Dragon Ball Daima be about? Dragon Ball Daima follows Goku and the other heroes tackling a new villain on another planet after they’re turned into child-like versions of themselves. This involves the usual amount of martial arts and space hijinks you’d expect from Dragon Ball. We don’t know how deep the cast is yet, but Vegeta, Piccolo, Bulma, Yamcha, Chi-Chi, Oolong, Trunks, Goten, Gohan, Android 18 and Krillin are all confirmed to be involved. All of them are cursed too, creating the potential for all sorts of subplots. Akira Toriyama was involved in the design and conception of Dragon Ball Daima, carrying on from his return to full on TV production in Dragon Ball Super. He took a smaller role in the property after Dragon Ball Z, only contributing some character work for GT. As such, this should be as over-the-top and epic as his storytelling tends to get. After all, now it’s his send off. Is Dragon Ball Daima canon? Yes, Dragon Ball Daima is considered canon, since Akira Toriyama created the story. But exactly where in the timeline it takes place hasn’t been revealed. The most likely answer is between Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super, according to a number of hints like Goku and Vegeta’s costumes not being the same as their suits in Super yet. That’d mean Daima essentially replaces GT in the running order, something many fans won’t be displeased about. GT’s the black sheep of the franchise, maligned for abandoning a lot of what we enjoyed about Z in favor of a madcap space comedy featuring Kid Goku and Pan, his granddaughter, that just didn’t come together. Akira didn’t steer GT as much, and it shows, and Daima seems like an attempt to remedy that for himself and the fanbase. A second shot at a similar concept – what if the heroes became children? – but with more creative control and actual fighting. One drawback here is that if Daima is overwriting GT, that means the story is bound by what’s happened in Super. So don’t expect any radical deaths or new forms. But getting away from those wouldn’t hurt Dragon Ball either, since the scales of power and such have been wacky for years now. Where can you watch Dragon Ball Daima? Dragon Ball Daima will be on Fuji TV in Japan. The overseas platform hasn’t been confirmed, but we’d say Crunchyroll is the most likely, since the service recently managed to acquire all the other Dragon Ball shows. So, while we wait to hear more, you can stream Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z over there in anticipation for Akira’s last chapter with Goku. Just remember to buy some tissues before we get these new episodes.

Can Dracula appear in Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2? Possibilities explored NetflixDracula is the most pivotal character in the Castlevania video game series and the original animated TV series. His absence was intensely felt in the first season of Castlevania: Nocturne, so here we explore the possibilities of his appearance in Season 2 of the Netflix original. Dracula served as the main antagonist of the Castlevania original animated series, who was eventually killed by Alucard, Trevor, and Sypha in Season 2. However, Tepes and his human wife were rescued from hell by the Grim Reaper, Death, and Saint Germain in Season 4. So, as the big baddie of the series made a comeback in the original series, why didn’t he make it to Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1? Well, it’s understandable because Nocturne does not revolve around the old characters but the new ones. Although Nocturne has given us several exciting characters, be it the good ones or the bad ones, Alucard is the one who makes fans even happier. Now, as we have seen Dracula’s son setting foot in the Nocturne universe, we hope to see Tepes in the series as well. Can Dracula Tepes make a comeback in Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2? Dracula married a human named Lisa at the start of the Castlevania original series. She became a reason Tepes eliminated the hatred for humans from his heart. However, when some people burned Lisa alive, calling her a witch, Tepes vowed to kill them all to avenge his wife’s death. Trevor then stepped in to fight the evil along with his ally Sypha. Afterward, the duo was joined by Alucard, Dracula’s own son, because he believed that his father was being impulsive, and he also knew that if his mother was alive, she wouldn’t want to see Dracula committing Genocide. In Season 2, Trevor and Dracula have an intense fight, but when Alucard comes in between, Tepes gives up and accepts death at the hands of his own son. However, in Season 4, Death restores him and his wife for his selfish reasons. Specifically, he wanted to use Dracula and Lisa as his marionettes. But in the end, Trevor was the one to free his biggest enemy, the Grim Reaper. So, Tepes once again developed a soft corner for humans and started his new life with Lisa in London. As we know, Castlevania: Nocturne takes place 300 years after the original series, so we can’t hope to see Lisa as Tepes never wanted to transform her into a vampire, so her human life wouldn’t have allowed her to live for these many years. But Tepes is a Dracula, and entities of his kind do not die, so he is undoubtedly alive somewhere. Though we haven’t come across any source confirming his arrival in the Nocturne universe, as Alucard made a surprise entry, we might also get to see his father. Moreover, it’s worth pointing out that as Lisa changed the blood-sucker’s perception towards the humans, there are possibilities that this time Dracula will fight for the good. Also, as Alucard’s appearance was different in Nocturne, Tepes might also flaunt a different look if the character makes a comeback in the spin-off.

Dragon Ball creator’s final speech will make you cry all over again CrunchyrollWe’re still reeling from the untimely passing of Akira Toriyama, the prolific creator of Dragon Ball. Now, his last speech has been translated, and we’re awash in emotions once again. On March 8, 2024, it was revealed that Akira Toriyama, the legendary mangaka behind Dragon Ball, had died at the age of 68. A longtime artist and visual creative, he was behind two of the best anime shows ever in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, as well as providing characters and other artistry for video games such as Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger. He’s a true icon, on the level of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, so naturally, the response has been global. We’ve seen football matches and national presidents pay tribute, and demonstrations into the tens of thousands. Before he died, Toriyama was due to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award, at a ceremony due to be held the weekend of March 8. He was notified of this honour in December, giving him time to prepare a speech, which has now been released to the public. Have your tissues handy. Akira Toriyama thanks fans in his final speech “To be honest, I have never had much interest in anime, and even when my work was made into animated format, I feel embarrassed to admit that I did not watch much of it, apologies to the staff,” he says in a monologue meant for the Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2024. “Thus, it is truly embarrassing that I am the recipient of the Tokyo Anime Awards Festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Thank you very much.” He recalls working with Toyoo Ashida for Kosuke-sama Rikimaru-sama, an anime project they co-directed. Akira learned how to streamline his own process from Toyoo, allowing him to create Dragon Ball much more effectively. He calls it a “truly fulfilling time”, and hopes Toyoo continues to rest peacefully. Akira addressed returning to Dragon Ball after years away, first for Dragon Ball Super, and now for the upcoming anime Dragon Ball Daima. “Dragon Ball DAIMA, which will be rolled out in 2024, was originally planned to be an original anime series without me, but as I gave advice here and there, I ended up getting deeply involved with the project without realizing it,” he states. “I hope you will enjoy watching the series, which I believe is not only intense and action-packed, but also full of plenty of substance.” But it’s the last line that really hits home. Akira knew his health was declining, and he reveals he wasn’t sure how much longer he’d be around for. “Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has supported me so far!” he writes. “I am not sure how much more I can do, as I am not very confident about my health, probably due to my lifestyle when I was younger, but I will try my best to create more interesting pieces of work, so please continue to support me!” Fans can see his Sand Land show on Disney Plus from March 20, while we wait for a more definitive release date on Dragon Ball Daima. Meanwhile, check out our guides on how to watch Dragon Ball and watch Dragon Ball Z to revisit the classic shows.

Artists and actors pay tribute to Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama following his death FunimationFollowing the death of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, several artists and actors have paid tribute to the legendary mangaka. Dragon Ball is one of the most popular anime and manga franchises in the world, with several spin-offs and movies under its belt. Toriyama originally published Dragon Ball in 1985 and has been actively working on the manga for over four decades. His sudden death on March 1 due to acute subdural hematoma has shocked the entire world. It’s worth mentioning that he was one of the most influential figures in the anime and manga industry, thanks to the global popularity of Dragon Ball. His work inspired many popular series, even the ones as popular as Naruto and One Piece, which are still known as the Shonon Big Three. Apart from the statements shared by One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda and Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto, several other artists and actors have paid tribute to Akira Toriyama. Several Artists and actors pay tribute to Akira Toriyama following his death Blue Lock creator Yusuke Nomura shared on Twitter/X: “Toriyama-sensei… are you serious? You’re still so young… We pray for the souls.” In another post, he added: “Now that I think about it, the joy I had when my friends complimented me when I was copying Dragon Ball in elementary school after reading through the old Jump books I had at my grandma’s house may have led me to where I am today as a manga artist.” Popular actor and director Jackie Chan shared: “Akira Toriyama-sensei, thank you for creating so many classics; they will always be with the world. Farewell.” A Twitter user shared the statement along with an old picture of Jackie Chan and Toriyama. One Punch Man artist Yusuke Murata shared on Twitter/X: “There were many things that I could only receive from Mr. Toriyama. I humbly pray for your soul to rest in peace.” In another post, he shared: “Strangely, I don’t feel like he has died at all. That’s probably why he was like a star in the heavens for me even before I was alive.” Slam Dunk creator Inoue Takehiko shared on Twitter/X: “I just can’t accept it. Thank you, Mr. Toriyama.” Masako Nozawa, the voice behind Goku, Gohan, and Goten, expressed her shock at the news: “I don’t want to believe it. My head is empty because I don’t want to think about it. Even so, every time I see Goku, I remember what Toriyama Sensei said to me, ‘You will take care of Goku, won’t you?’ “I cherish that moment. It makes me think: ‘I will stay by Goku’s side until my strength runs out completely.’ Sensei, please watch over us from the heavens. We hope you depart in peace.” Megumi Ishitani, director of a few One Piece and Dragon Ball Super episodes, posted: “I pray that your soul may rest in peace.” Ryō Horikawa, the voice behind Vegeta, shared: “It was like a bolt out of the blue, and I still can’t believe it. A new development of the work has just begun. From now on, more and more thrilling stories were to be told. It’s too sudden. I’m so sorry. Thank you very much for creating such a wonderful work. Please take a good rest.” Toyotarou, the author of the spin-off manga Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission and the illustrator of Dragon Ball Super shared: “I drew manga because I wanted to be praised by Toriyama-sensei. It was everything to me.” Fairy Tail and Eden’s Zero creator Hiro Mashima posted: “Without Toriyama-sensei, I would not have become a manga artist. I am sad.” DRAGON BALL Z Movies Screenwriter, Takao Koyama shared: “I have too many memories… I don’t understand life. I will pray for the souls. Palms together.” Pluto and Monster creator, Naoki Urasawa posted: “When I read Shonen Jump with the new serialization of “Dr. Slump,” I thought, “Wow, this person will take manga to a different level.” Akira Toriyama has since achieved an extraordinary feat. I wanted to meet you once and listen to your story. It is very disappointing. I sincerely pray for your soul to rest in peace.” Spy X Family creator Tatsuya Endo posted: “If it weren’t for Toriyama-sensei, I probably wouldn’t have aimed to become a manga artist. Even now, when I think of “the reader’s position,” I always think of myself as a child, excitedly looking forward to Dragon Ball every week. Thank you very much for all your wonderful works. We sincerely pray for the repose of the soul of Toriyama Sensei.” In a statement released by Shonen Jump, the publisher of Toriyama’s work, Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest video game said: “I am still in disbelief at the news of Mr. Toriyama’s death, which was so sudden. I’ve known Toriyama-san since I was a writer for Shonen Jump, and with the recommendation of Toriyama-san, the editor in charge, I decided to ask him to draw the game when I launched Dragon Quest. “In the 37 years since then, I have been asked to draw countless charming characters, including character designs and monster designs. The history of Dragon Quest is based on Toriyama’s character designs. Toriyama-san and the late Sugiyama-sensei were friends who worked on Dragon Quest for a long time. That he would die…I don’t know what else to say. I’m really, really disappointed.”

Dragon Ball art gives a nostalgic look to the Prince of Saiyans Toei AnimationDiehard Dragon Ball fans have seen their favorite heroes go through insane transformations that reach or exceed godlike potentials. But one anime artist used their talents to remind Vegeta fans of the good old days of powerful Saiyans. Dragon Ball is undoubtedly one of, if not the most, easily recognizable anime franchise in the world. The series has taken its main characters through multiple iterations. In Goku’s case, fans have even seen him start as a kid all the way to his Ultra Instinct form. While the show only gets more epic as time goes on, artist ‘dragongarowLEE’ reverted back to simpler times with a stunning reminder for one of Vegeta’s initial transformations. Super Vegeta in all his glory Lee’s take on the Prince of Saiyans shows the character with all of the bulging muscles that struck fear into Cell’s second form. Even though the transformation isn’t quite at Super Saiyan 2 levels of power, its reveal during the Cell Saga was an astonishing reminder to never underestimate a pissed off Vegeta. The artist even gave their take on Vegeta’s signature smug smirk that he briefly flashed before going all in against the unrefined Cell form. How powerful was Super Vegeta? Newer fans might feel a bit underwhelmed about the design since it shows off a form of Vegeta way before he unlocked there series’ later forms. But make no mistake, before Gohan introduced Super Saiyan 2, this was the limit for Vegeta’s initial Super Saiyan form achieved over countless hours spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Read more: My Hero Academia cosplayer pulls off impressive gender-bent Midoriya and “We Are Here” for it – When the Z Fighters needed it the most, Vegeta was able to pull through to take on a transformed Cell. The power emanating from Vegeta was more than enough to take on Semi Perfect Cell before it all fell apart. Vegeta got a bit too cocky in his new transformation, and paved the way for Cell to reach his ultimate form. After that, even Super Vegeta was no match for Perfect Cell. Lee’s design is a perfect rendition to one of the pinnacle moments of Vegeta’s story, which has seen him be his own worst enemy more often than not.

Dr. Stone announces fourth and final season TMS EntertainmentIt’s time to celebrate for fans of the popular anime Dr. Stone. Its fourth season has just been announced. It’s a bittersweet day for Dr. Stone fans. Following the release of Season 3’s final episode, the anime revealed that the adventure would continue one last time with a fourth and final season titled Dr. Stone: Science Future. Based on Riichiro Inagki’s manga series of the same name, this dystopian sci-fi thriller won fans over when it first debuted back in 2017. And the anime series which came two years later has only added to its popularity. So, here is what we know about the Dr. Stone Season 4 announcement. Dr. Stone Season 4 announcement On December 20, Shonen Jump News announced that the Dr. Stone TV Anime “will head towards its conclusion” with its fourth and presumably final season. The news shocked fans. Although Dr. Stone isn’t a long series, with its final manga chapter being released back in March 2022, there are still several arcs for the anime adaptation to get through. This has resulted in some fans expressing their disbelief about the news on Twitter and Reddit. And other fans speculating how many episodes we could see in this “final” season. In fact, one fan did the math for the rest of us and calculated that the anime will adapt roughly 2.5 chapters per episode, which means there are 3 cours or approximately 36-39 episodes left. This is just about enough to cover the material left in the manga. Although, it does raise concerns about the overall pacing of the beloved series final season. What is Dr. Stone Season 4 about? Titled Dr. Stone: Science Future, the plot revolves around a 16-year-old science prodigy Senku Ishigami who ends up petrified along with the rest of the world due to a mysterious flash in 2019. Thousands of years later, Senku is revived and has to figure out how to restart human civilization through his extensive knowledge of science. The fourth season is expected to focus on Senku and friends using their intelligence and abilities to fight against people who want to stop them from saving humanity, including formidable enemies like Tsukasa Shishiou and Ibara.

Does Hiromi Higuruma die in Jujutsu Kaisen? VizJujutsu Kaisen manga is nearing its end, so here’s what happened to fan-favorite character Hiromi Higuruma, who joined the Sukuna raid. The Shinjuku Showdown Arc of Jujutsu Kaisen had the final villain, Ryomen Sukuna run a gauntlet against the main cast. As soon as Gojo died, Yuji and Higuruma jumped onto the battlefield. Higuruma was introduced in the Culling Games Arc as an antagonist but he soon joined the sorcerer’s side. Before the battle against the strongest began, the sorcerers had already planned how to use Higuruma’s Executioner’s Sword. In a mere two months of awakening as a sorcerer, Higuruma displayed talents on par with Satoru Gojo. However, Higuruma was no match in front of the King of Curses, who was deemed a natural disaster. In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 247, he suffers a devastating attack from Sukuna and entrusts his Executioner’s Sword to Yuji. From Higuruma’s expression to his final words, everything parallels Nanami’s death. Warning: This article contains major spoilers from the upcoming Chapter 269! Is Hiromi Higuruma alive in Jujutsu Kaisen? According to Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269, Hiromi Higuruma is still alive. Chapter 247 had all but confirmed the sorcerer’s death, but the upcoming Chapter 269 reveals the shocking truth. After he falls unconscious, Ui Ui and Kirara take Higuruma to Shoko. Shoko is the best Reverse Cursed Technique user among the sorcerers. Although Higuruma hasn’t fully recovered yet and is wearing a plaster on his arm, his life is no longer in danger. In Chapter 269, as the sorcerers discuss the battle’s aftermath, Higuruma enters the scene. He says Sukuna was just playing with him and the villain would’ve taken the fight more seriously if Yuta had been there. Sukuna also would’ve killed everyone on sight instead of toying with the sorcerers. Higuruma further adds that Inumaki’s Cursed Speech is an easy counter and he was the one who came up with the plan of using the voice recorder. Kusakabe says how frightening it is that Higuruma survived the battle despite being a fairly new sorcerer. The Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be ending in a few weeks, so find out the final chapter’s release date.

Doraemon sparks controversy after Thai ritual ‘breaks tradition’ to stop animal cruelty Shin-Ei AnimationDoraemon made headlines after a plush toy of the character was used in a Thai ceremony to help avoid animal cruelty. Amid record-high temperatures and a lack of rain across the country, residents of three villages in Nakhon Sawan province gathered in late April for a “rain-making” ritual. As per The Straits Times, the tradition calls for a cat to be paraded around affected areas, with its cry said to be a “harbinger of immediate rain.” However, hoping to avoid undue stress on an animal, locals used a plushy of Doraemon. Doraemon is the most popular anime cat in the world. First introduced 1969 and created by the famed artist duo, Fujiko Fujio, he’s been winning the hearts of fans for decades, remaining a childhood staple even today. However, while many have enjoyed the viral image of the Doraemon soft toy held in a cage — it’s been viewed more than 16 million times on X/Twitter — some people had a problem. The tradition, known as the Hae Nang Maew Ceremony, is reported to require a female cat. Doraemon is male, so critics asked that the locals used Dorami instead. Dorami is Doraemon’s sister and comes from the future just like him. She often visits her brother and Nobita using the time machine. “This was by far one of the silliest things I’ve read this morning… I do hope they get rain though… and don’t sacrifice real cats,” one user reacted. “Why not both Doraemon and Dorami. Either way it’s hilarious,” another wrote. “People on this platform underestimate how popular Doraemon is in Asia. Especially South and Southeast Asia,” a third posted.

Up next on the list is the highly anticipated Infinity Castle Arc movie trilogy, which is the first part of the final arc of the Demon Slayer manga. As expected, the final arc is where all the main characters truly shine. Every major character has a pivotal role, with Tanjiro’s group and the Hashira bringing their best in the final fight against Muzan Kibutsuji and his Upper Moon demons. (Warning: spoilers from the manga ahead.) But while everyone contributes to Muzan’s defeat, there are two characters without whom it would’ve been impossible. And thus, fans hail Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho as the true MVPs of the final arc. Tamayo is the demon Tanjiro and Nezuko befriend towards the start of the series. She was once Muzan’s companion and carries a deep hatred for him. As for Shinobu, she’s the Insect Hashira and the resident doctor of the Demon Slayer Corps. Neither Tamayo nor Shinobu are the strongest fighters of the bunch. But that doesn’t stop them from orchestrating Muzan’s downfall before the final battle begins. As women of science, the two join forces to develop a medicine that can turn demons into humans. Before them, that was an unthinkable concept. In fact, Tanjiro set out on his journey for the very purpose of reverting Nezuko to human again. His dream will finally come true in the final arc thanks to Tamayo and Shinobu’s medicine. Their invention also plays the biggest role in Muzan’s death. If it wasn’t for Tamayo poisoning herself with it before being absorbed by Muzan, the demon king would’ve easily escaped the Hashira’s clutches. Though the demon ultimately revived himself, the final arc wouldn’t have even begun if it wasn’t for Tamayo. On the other hand, Shinobu’s role in the last arc goes far beyond their medicine. She contributes greatly to the defeat of Doma, the Upper Moon 2. How she does it is as clever as it is heartbreaking. So, fans believe these two are the real MVPs of the last Demon Slayer arc. As one X user wrote, “Without these two girls, the Hashira would all be dead,” with another saying, “That’s what the unsung hero awards are for.” A third commented, “The fact that some of you ignored that Shinobu helped Tamayo create the medicine for turning demons into humans. Y’all are something for real. WHERE DOES THE MEDICINE GO? YES, TO MUZAN. HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO WAIT UNTIL THE SUNRISE? YES, THE MEDICINE.” A fourth joined, “If Shinobu never gave Kanao her leftover antidote for the very end… Tanjiro would’ve never made it back. That was all Shinobu (& Kanao).” The Infinity Castle Arc has a lot to get excited about, and Tamayo and Shinobu are definitely some of the best among the highlights.

Detective Conan will go on indefinite hiatus from next week Gosho Aoyama/TMS EntertainmentThe endless mysteries and clever solves every Thursday are coming to a sudden halt as Detective Conan manga is going on an indefinite hiatus from next week. Though One Piece is known to be one of the longest-running manga out there, it’s still behind Gosho Aoyama’s Detective Conan. You might remember the anime show (better known as Case Closed), where we followed little Conan solving all sorts of crimes. After three decades of continuous serialization, the detective manga is going on an indefinite hiatus after its appearance in the Weekly Shonen Sunday #42. The issue, featuring Detective Conan File 1133, will be released on September 11, 2024. Titled ‘The Dark Red Last Act’, the chapter marks the start of the manga’s break. Though we don’t know when Detective Conan will return, we can assume that it will come back at some point since the story is far from over. As expected, readers are pretty upset about the hiatus, but they’re supportive of it, especially considering the long run of the series. One X user commented on the news, “Sad to see it going on hiatus but I understand.” “I can wait especially after the recent chapter that came out,” added another. A third wrote, “Gosho Aoyama, please check your health and complete your series.” “And that’s Gosho beginning his year-end vacation,” joked a fourth. The story of Detective Conan begins with the teenage detective Shinichi Kudo and his childhood friend Ran Mouri at an amusement park. While chasing two criminals from a mysterious organization, Shinichi is fed a strange pill and turns into a kid. Thus begins his journey as Conan, a kid trying to find those men and get his body back, all the while hiding his true identity from Ran and the people around them. Along the way comes many mysteries that he solves while keeping his cover. For more manga updates, check out our Jujutsu Kaisen ending guide and My Hero Academia ending explainer.

Devil May Cry anime: Everything we know Devil May Cry / NetflixA new Devil May Cry anime was announced by Netflix, who gave a first look at the upcoming animated series, so here’s everything we know. Devil May Cry has served as one of Capcom’s biggest successes, where the action-packed devil-hunting game was first released in 2001. It has since become a classic franchise that is beloved by fans. It revolves around the iconic lead character Dante, who is a powerful demon hunter who strives to protect the world from evil demons, with an arsenal of weapons. His unique abilities came from being the son of a demon himself, where he absorbed his father’s demonic powers to make him the ideal hunter. As the story progressed, he later teamed up with fellow demon hunters, Trish and Lady, and even faced off against his evil brother Vergil. Fans have not experienced a new Devil May Cry animated series since 2007, however, in 2018 the producer of Netflix’s acclaimed Castlevania anime, Adi Shankar, revealed that a Devil May Cry animated series was officially in production with the streaming service.

The popular streaming platform Netflix has just signed a deal with Nippon TV, Japan’s leading multiplatform entertainment powerhouse and owner of Hulu Japan. This deal will mean that a large number of animes will now be coming to Netflix to stream non-exclusively around the world, and this number includes some big names. This deal comes after two prior deals between the companies, with the hit reality TV show Old Enough (where young children are tasked with running errands) being the most popular show to come out of this deal. Which animes will be released on Netflix soon? A total of 13 animes will be coming to Netflix as a result of this deal. While the dates of release haven’t been confirmed for every anime, we do know that three will be arriving on the platform on September 1: hit shonen series Hunter X Hunter (its first 38 episodes), fantasy epic Claymore, and romantic comedy Ouran High School Host Club.

I have no doubt anime fans will be talking about these titles the world over.”

Does Gojo die in Jujutsu Kaisen? CrunchyrollWith the conclusion of the battle of the strongest in Jujutsu Kaisen, fans are anxious about the fate of their beloved character, Satoru Gojo. Here’s a summary of what you need to know. Sukuna is the most deadly being in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe (he is the King of Curses, after all). Therefore, it was never easy for anyone to beat him, not even the biggest sorcerers, including Gojo. But Gojo once said to Yuji that if he goes one-on-one against Sukuna, that would be the end of the evil ancient sorcerer. Fans believed the same because there were so many instances in Jujutsu Kaisen in which Gojo showed his true potential. Moreover, his Six Eyes and Infinity were something that made him invincible and powerful. Despite everything looking favorable for Gojo until the previous chapter, the “Honored One” eventually lost against the King of Curses. Delve deeper to find out if Gojo dies at the end of Gojo vs Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen. Does Gojo die in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236? Yes, Gojo dies in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236. Chapter 236 shows Gojo lying lifeless on the ground, with his body cut in half. Now, fans may think that Gojo might come back to life using some form of technique, but that doesn’t seem likely. That’s because after losing against Sukuna, Gojo sees his friends in a vision and says goodbye to everyone. So, Gojo indeed accepts his defeat and the fact that he won’t be returning. So, yes, it’s unlikely that we will be able to meet our beloved character Gojo ever again (unless Gege Akutami shows him in a flashback). Sukuna finally succeeded in killing Gojo with the help of his shikigami, Mahoraga. Mahoraga comes with an ability that allows him to adapt to the powers of the opponents. So, he does the same with Gojo. The more attack Gojo unleashes on him, the more quick he adapts, letting Sukuna learn how to actually defeat Gojo. Sukuna knew what Gojo’s Limitless was capable of, so he decided to play smartly, relying completely on Mahoraga. Meanwhile, the shikigami continues changing his Cursed Energy, which helped it to create a blueprint. This blueprint plays a pivotal role in overpowering Gojo’s Infinity. That was seen when Mahoraga’s CE reached its full potential, and the shikigami released an attack to target the entire space, not Gojo. And since the entire Infinity was cut in half and Gojo was part of that world, he faced the same fate. In the anime series, the Prison Realm was recently introduced, so there are plenty of things that need to be animated from the manga. Hence, even if the manga has shown Gojo’s end, you can still watch him on your screens – but not for too long. However, Gojo does come back later in the manga but with a twist. Yuta transfers his brain into Gojo’s body with Kenjaku’s Cursed Technique, meaning though the body belongs to Gojo, the brain and the soul that reside within is Yuta’s. This confirms that Gojo’s return is impossible as he can never come back now that Yuta inhabits his body.

Demon Slayer: Why Shinobu and Giyu aren’t included in the Hashira Training CrunchyrollThe highly-anticipated Hashira Training in Demon Slayer has finally begun, but two Hashira aren’t involved, but there’s good reason for their absences. Demon Slayer Season 4 has finally debuted with a one-hour premiere. The episode begins with a non-manga scene where Sanemi and Obanai are on a mission and briefly enter the Infinity Castle. The story then moves on to the aftermath of the Swordsmith Village Arc. The Demon Slayer Corps knows that defeating the Upper Moons is impossible without manifesting the Demon Slayer Marks. This is why all demon slayers, including Hashiras, must get stronger. Without Rengoku and Uzui, the Corps has only seven Hashira left. While training the lower-ranking Corps members, the Hashiras will also work to develop their skills for the final battle. The training is divided into five stages, but Giyu and Shinobu are not included in any of it. However, they both have completely different reasons to avoid the process. Warning: This article contains spoilers from the manga! Why isn’t Shinobu Kocho included in the Hashira Training? Although Shinobu didn’t leave the meeting outright like Giyu, she still had no role in the training. Shinobu was not only secretly working with Tamayo to create the poison that will accelerate Muzan’s aging, she had been ingesting poison to weaken the Upper-Rank Two. Shinobu had always been ready to sacrifice herself because she knew it would be nearly impossible to defeat Douma without further planning. Had it not been for her, the casualties would be even worse. Additionally, she has a unique fighting style. Since she cannot decapitate a demon, she uses poison made from Wisteria to get the job done, which is why she won’t be training the others and instead will focus on her mission. Why isn’t Giyu Tomioka included in the Hashira Training? Giyu angered his fellow Hashira by leaving the meeting and saying he was not like them. Sanemi and others believe Giyu thinks he’s better than them. However, it’s the exact opposite; he feels guilty about Sabito’s death since they grew up together. Giyu was knocked unconscious during the Final Selection, and Sabito died while trying to save others. He believes his deceased friend deserved to be the Hashira instead. Giyu was even upset about Tanjiro not using water breathing because there wouldn’t be anyone to succeed him. Kagaya Ubuyashiki knew about Giyu’s inner struggles. However, he was too weakened to even talk properly. This is why he requested that Tanjiro look out for Giyu. Even though Giyu doesn’t train the other demon slayers throughout the arc, he still practices with Sanemi to develop his skills. If you want to know more about the franchise, we have what you should know before Demon Slayer Season 4, the Demon Slayer Season 4 episode schedule, and the powers of every living Hashira.

Demon Slayer: Why some demons don’t possess Blood Demon Art CrunchyrollAlmost all the powerful demons possess techniques called “Blood Demon Art.” These techniques are unique to each demon and make it even more dangerous than they already are. In Demon Slayer, the fight between humans and demons has been going around for centuries with no victor. Humans fight using “Breathing Styles” that have many elements and forms. These styles grant them enough physical strength to fight demons and can be passed down to others. However, unlike humans, demons’ powers are unique to them. Furthermore, their “Blood Demon Art” are always unpredictable and extremely powerful. Therefore, this makes it even more difficult for demon slayers to fight against them, especially when they’re already at a disadvantage because of their inability to regenerate as demons do. Ever since the series started introducing members of the Twelve Kizuki, the ordinary demons are a thing of the past. Those ordinary demons don’t seem to possess any special ability that might aid them in battle; therefore, killing them is easier. Here’s a look at why some demons don’t possess Blood Demon Art. What is a Blood Demon Art in Demon Slayer? Blood Demon Art is a type of supernatural ability possessed by demons. As the name suggests, this ability uses the wielders’ blood as a medium to manifest themselves into reality. It differs from demon to demon, with every power seemingly based on a central theme, some of which are based on a demon’s past, personality, interests, or occupation. For example, Upper Three demon Akaza’s ability is related to martial arts, which corresponds to his human self, who was a talented martial artist. Furthermore, one Blood Demon Art can grant multiple abilities to a demon, which can be seen in Nezuko’s case. She can use offensive spells by using pyrokinesis. However, she can also use this ability to neutralize Gyutaro’s poison and save Tengen Uzui’s life. Why don’t all demons have Blood Demon Art? Every time demons devour a person, they grow stronger and gain unique magical abilities. Therefore, newer demons or those who haven’t devoured many humans don’t develop their skills. In fact, this ability is extremely rare and only some demons possess them. Demons who have gained special abilities can amplify them by continuing to consume more humans. Doma explains that Akaza can easily become an Upper Two demon if he devours women and children as he does. But because he doesn’t harm them, Akaza remains weaker than Doma despite having been turned into a demon for much longer. That said, all demons have the potential to manifest Blood Demon Art. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer: Will Akaza appear in the Infinity Castle Arc’s first movie? CrunchyrollAccording to a recent leak, the Water Hashira and Tanjiro will be seen fighting against the Upper Moon Three Akaza in the first movie of the Infinity Castle Arc of Demon Slayer. Well, let’s see if the revelation is true. Infinity Castle is the longest arc of the Demon Slayer series, and it was supposed to get adapted as the fourth season of the anime series. However, now, it’s confirmed that the arc will be adapted into several films. Keeping in mind the previous projects of the franchise, we can say that the news must not have lessened the excitement among the community. Moreover, after seeing Tanjiro and the other Hashiras saving the entire Swordsmith village from the deadly demons, nime fans are really intrigued to see how our beloved protagonist will deal with more threats that are supposed to come his way in the Infinity Castle Arc. However, a recent rumor revolving around the Upper Rank Three has surfaced online, and it has become another reason for fans to go bonkers over the first film of the anticipated arc. Will Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc’s first movie feature Akaza? Infinity Castle Arc features several battles between Kagaya’s warriors and Muzan’s Upper Rank demons. The battles include Kanao Tsuyuri, Inosuke Hashibira, and Zenitsu Agatsuma vs. Doma, Gyomei Himejima and Sanemi Shinazugawa vs. Kokushibo, Muichiro Tokito, Genya Shinazugawa, and others vs. Nakime and Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro Kamado Vs. Akaza. So, until there is no official news about which battle will get screentime in the first film, it’s not certain if Akaza will be the big bad villain of the first movie. The glimpse of the Infinity Castle was already given by the creators in the Swordsmith Village Arc, but the upcoming movie will give us a better picture of it. We will be able to see different combats taking place in the castle when the Hashiras proceed to it in search of Muzan. Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro Kamado vs Akaza: A brief summary Tanjiro and Tomioka look for Muzan in the Castle. However, on their way, they come across Akaza, and before the demon even appears in front of the duo, Tanjiro recognizes him by his body odor. Well, that’s because in the Mugen Train Arc, he came across Akaza – but at that time, the Flame Hashira took the entire damage on himself. When the fight between the three begins, Akaza and Tomioko can’t resist acknowledging Tanjiro’s growth in terms of his fighting skills. Besides that, the arc also sheds some light on Akaza’s motives. Even though Tanjiro has used Hinokami Kagura several times, he will be seen using it to its full potential in the fight against the Upper Rank Three.

Demon Slayer will release multiple movies instead of Season 5, leaker claims CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 5 was expected to cover the final arc, but Ufotable might release multiple movies instead. Demon Slayer recently concluded its third season featuring the “Swordsmith Village arc.” Since Season 4 is confirmed to cover the “Hashira Training arc,” the final arc still has a long way to go before getting an anime adaptation. Season 4 doesn’t have a release window yet, but it’s confirmed to feature scenes from the manga and the light novel. The Hashira Training arc is the final arc before the deadly battle against Muzan and the Upper Moons. As for Season 5, it is expected to cover the final battle. However, according to a leaker, Ufotable may not release weekly episodes and instead opt for multiple movies of Demon Slayer. The final arc of Demon Slayer will likely be covered in multiple movies The Final Battle arc is divided into “The Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown arc.” As such, it spans 69 chapters, making it the longest arc in the series. According to the usual pacing of the series, this many chapters should be covered within 22-24 episodes. The Mugen Train movie was a global success, even to the point of breaking the 20-year-old box office record of Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away. Judging by the movie’s massive success and the franchise as a whole, it won’t be surprising if the studio decides to release several movies instead of Season 5. However, the 13 chapters of the Mugen Train arc were adapted into one movie. Therefore, there should be at least three Demon Slayer movies for the Infinity Castle arc (47 chapters) and two movies for the Sunrise Countdown arc (22 chapters). The idea of five consecutive canon movies seems unique, as no other Shonen anime has ever done this. That said, the news comes from a credible Twitter user. Therefore, the chances of this being a rumor are next to none. What will happen in the final arc? No major spoilers, but the final arc will feature the entire Demon Slayer Corps facing off against Muzan and Upper Moons. The fight will begin as soon as the Hashira Training arc ends. In the first part, the Demon Slayers infiltrate the Infinity Castle to defeat Muzan and the one controlling the castle. On the other hand, Shinobu finds a way to defeat Upper Rank 2, but there’s a price to pay. The second part will feature the entire Corps going against Muzan as they desperately struggle until sunrise. Tanjiro finds the key to defeating Muzan, but ending a battle that has been going on for a thousand years isn’t easy.

Demon Slayer: Yoriichi’s connection to the Kamado family explained CrunchyrollDemon Slayer always hints at some connection between Yoriichi and the Kamado family. However, Season 3 reveals the true reason behind Tanjiro’s similarities with Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Since Muzan first laid eyes on Tanjiro, he has constantly been reminded of a mysterious swordsman who wore the same Hanafuda earrings. Not to mention that the swordsman had the same hair, eyes, as well as scar as Tanjiro. The Kamado family in Demon Slayer were the only ones who inherited the Sun Breathing technique, though they call it Hinokami Kagura. Furthermore, Yoriichi’s earrings were passed down in the family for generations until they became Tanjiro’s possession. Yoriichi was alive more than 300 years before the timeline of the series. Judging by all these “coincidences,” it was almost certain that Tanjiro was Yoriichi’s descendant. However, despite the uncanny resemblance, Yorrichi’s connection to the Kamado family is beyond the expectations of Demon Slayer fans. The ancestor of the Kamado family was a friend of Yoriichi Tsugikuni in Demon Slayer The Tsugikuni bloodline was an elite class of swordsmen who lost their heritage over time. On the other hand, the Kamado family in Demon Slayer were charcoal sellers even more than 300 years ago. By a stroke of luck, Sumiyoshi Kamado, Tanjiro’s ancestor, was rescued by Yoriichi. Not only did the swordsman save Sumiyoshi, but also his pregnant wife from a demon. Thanks to him, Sumiyoshi’s child was born safely. He was always grateful to Yoriichi and believed him to be special. By that time, Yoriichi had already fought Muzan and let him escape. To make matters worse, Yoriichi had lost his pregnant wife because of a demon, and his brother had turned into a demon. Overwhelmed by the grief of all these “failures,” Yoriichi considered himself useless, which saddened Sumiyoshi. He swore to Yoriichi that he would carry on his legacy and pass down the Sun Breathing Technique, the strongest ability a demon slayer can learn, in the Kamado family. Yoriichi also gave his Hanafuda earrings to Sumiyoshi before bidding him farewell. Since then, the Kamado family became the only family to know about this legendary technique, which ultimately played a major role in Muzan’s defeat. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer: Why does Muzan keep changing his appearance? CrunchyrollMuzan is the primary antagonist of Demon Slayer. From taking an appearance of a woman to even a child, viewers get to see him in various forms throughout the series. Demon Slayer’s primary antagonist, Muzan Kibutsuji, is the first-ever demon to have been artificially created. He has been around for over 1,000 years, not once seeing the light of day. Muzan changes several identities and often harms the families he is involved with. His strength is unlike any being in the world. Not only that, he hides behind the shadows and keeps changing his appearance. Tanjiro is the first demon slayer to encounter him. Not even the Hashiras ever got a chance to get a glimpse at him. Here’s the reason Muzan keeps changing his appearance in Demon Slayer and his ability that allows him to do so. Muzan keeps changing his appearance in Demon Slayer as a form of fear Despite having tremendous powers, Muzan from Demon Slayer is far from being omnipotent. He is consumed by his fear of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. On top of that, he will disintegrate as soon as he steps into the sunlight. Therefore, Muzan has been looking for a way to get rid of his weaknesses. He also needs to hide from the Demon Slayer Corps, and the best way to do so is to blend into human society. Therefore, none of the demon slayers would think of looking for a demon living among people. In the eighth episode of Season 1, fans see him being kind to his human wife and daughter. In reality, he killed her husband and got close to her because her family was influential. He also got adopted into a rich family by taking on the appearance of a child. Muzan would always target influential families to live well-respected lives without slayers bothering him. When he is not playing the role of a family member, he would hide in the Infinity Castle and use it as a means of transport. The Blood Demon Art allows him to shapeshift Muzan’s Blood Demon Art is called “Biokinesis”, which grants him the ability to manipulate his body at will and shapeshift instantly. Though all demons have this innate ability, Muzan takes it to another level by changing his flesh and organs. He then molds them into the form he wants to take. Later, he distorted his left arm into a massive hideous monster form with many mouths and eyes, which he used to slaughter and consume the Lower Ranks.

Demon Slayer: The truth behind Tanjiro’s scar explained CrunchyrollIn Demon Slayer, Tanjiro’s scar has always been a topic of discussion among fans. Originally appearing as a burn mark, fans soon learn that it represents his powers as a true demon slayer. As the main protagonist of Demon Slayer, Tanjiro Kamado has always shown capabilities beyond an average human. During their first encounter, the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka realized Tanjiro’s potential. Giyu also spared Nezuko’s life after witnessing how she was protecting him even after transforming into a demon. After months of hellish training and a gruesome exam, Tanjiro joined the Demon Slayer Corps hoping to meet powerful demons that could help him find a way to cure his sister. As Tanjiro’s journey as a demon slayer continued, the scar on his forehead became more evident. What first appeared as a light-red scar soon developed into a crimson mark with flame patterns. In Demon Slayer, Tanjiro’s scar has great significance, and it relates to his true powers as the wielder of the Sun Breathing Technique. How often did Tanjiro’s scar change in Demon Slayer? The scar on the top left of Tanjiro’s forehead originally looked somewhat like a graze. Tanjiro always believed it was a burn mark he received from protecting his younger sibling from a falling pot of boiling water. However, the scar changed its appearance during the Final Selection when the Hand Demon gave Tanjiro a major blow to the head. The blow not only increased the size of his scar but changed its colour as well. The scar changed even more when Tanjiro fought against Gyutaro and Daki during the Entertainment District arc. He developed the Demon Slayer Mark near the end of that battle, which enhanced his strength enough for him to sever Gyutaro’s head with his Nichirin blade. This mark was larger than the scar on his forehead. His scar is replaced with a permanent flame mark after the Hashira Training. It grows in size, stretching past his brows. Surprisingly, Tanjiro’s scar becomes identical to those of Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Kokushibo. The mark greatly enhances Tanjiro’s inherent skills, including strength, speed, and reflexes. What does Tanjiro’s scar truly mean in Demon Slayer? Fans have always pondered the similarity between Tanjiro’s scar and Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s scar. Especially after seeing the same scar on the forehead of Tanjiro’s father, it was almost certain that the Kamado family were the descendants of that legendary demon slayer. However, Season 3 clarified that Yoriichi didn’t have any children and, instead, the Kamado family are descendants of his friend. The scar is only present in those who have inherited the Sun Breathing Technique. It is the original breathing technique developed by Yoriichi. All the other techniques are extensions of this original one. Tanjiro’s ancestors took it upon themselves to carry on Yoriichi’s legacy by passing down his earrings and his Hinokami Kagura for generations. This desire stemmed from Sumiyoshi Kamado’s gratitude towards Yoriichi for saving his family’s life from a demon. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer: Thunder Breathing 7th form explained CrunchyrollIn Demon Slayer, Thunder Breathing is one of the many techniques that are used to fight demons. Originally a 6-form technique, Zenitsu created the 7th Form of Thunder Breathing all on his own. Demon Slayer’s fast-paced action and storytelling focus on demon slayers fighting immortal demons to protect humankind. Fighting such powerful beings that heal almost instantly and have no weaknesses is practically impossible. However, the power of the breath and their special Nichirin swords sets these demon slayers apart. These slayers put their lives on the line to protect the world and ultimately annihilate Muzan Kibutsuji. One such demon slayer is Zenitsu Agatsuma, famous for being cowardly and whiny. The series takes its sweet time in his development, but Zenitsu becomes an iconic character with his newly developed skill. Apart from Giyu, he is the only character to develop his original breathing form. What is Thunder Breathing in Demon Slayer? Thunder Breathing is a Breathing Style that simulates lightning, especially quick strikes and movements. It resembles lightning ripping through the sky, with the user’s movements, methods, and powers. All known techniques and forms require using blinding speeds and extremely fast assaults to completely overwhelm the opponent in a moment. When using Thunder Breathing techniques, users experience themselves seemingly creating and manipulating lightning. This breathing style originally had six forms, each being extremely difficult. Zenitsu mastered the first form to its full capacity but failed to learn the rest. However, the first form itself is extremely difficult. With his master gone, Zenitsu can no longer learn the remaining five forms. Therefore, during his fight with Kaigaku, an Upper Moon Six, he created a 7th form. How does Zenitsu’s Thunder Breathking 7th Form work? During the “Infinity Castle Arc,” Zenitsu fights against Kaigaku, who is his former fellow apprentice. They both studied Thunder Breathing together. While Zenitsu could only master the first form, Kaigaku could use all techniques except for the first one. Even after becoming a demon, Kaigaku uses the skills he learned as a human. His Blood Demon Art is “Electrokinesis,” which uses various forms of Thunder breathing. During their fight, Zenitsu was at a major disadvantage against Kaigaku until he used the seventh form called “Honoikazuchi no Kami,” literally meaning “Flaming Thunder God.” To use this technique, Zenitsu runs forward at breakneck speed, unleashing a single forward slash from a low stance. This is accompanied by a yellow Japanese dragon shaped like a lightning bolt. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training movie ending explained CrunchyrollThe latest Demon Slayer movie has finally hit the international theatres – so here’s a look at the ending and what it means. Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training is the latest addition to the franchise. The series will debut a new season in Spring 2024, but before that, a new movie will be released globally for fans. The Hashira Training arc is the last part of the story before the Final arc begins, which goes to show how important it is. It’s also a fan-favorite arc, which includes all the Hashira for the first time. As the Demon Slayers prepare for the final showdown, Muzan seems to have his own plan in mind. He is coming to hunt Nezuko since she’s the only demon who has ever been able to conquer the sun. The movie hit the Japanese theatres on February 2, 2024, before its grand global release. Delve to find out more about the Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training movie ending. Warning: Major spoilers ahead! Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training movie ending teases major plans for Tamayo First of all, despite having an almost two-hour screen time, the latest Demon Slayer movie only adapts Chapters 128, 129, the first half of 130, and the second half of 131 from the Hashira Training arc of the manga. The movie features the entire finale of the Swordsmith Village arc, as well as a few scenes that aren’t in the manga. As for the ending, it’s from the second half of Chapter 131. While Tamayo is continuing her research, a crow infiltrates her home despite Yushiro’s spell hiding it perfectly. The crow introduces itself as one of the messengers of Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Also, the crow is way scarier in the anime and even has an ominous voice. It states the reason for meeting her, which is to request her to cooperate with Shinobu. As we all know, Tamayo is the most genius minds in the entire series, and the only one who can rival her in the knowledge of demons is Shinobu Kocho. The idea is for the both of them to work together and discover a way to defeat Muzan. Naturally, Tamayo is skeptical despite the request coming directly from Kagaya. She never imagined a demon like her would be requested to work alongside humans. However, what the movie didn’t show is that she will agree to the collaboration and play a vital part in defeating the final villain of the series.

Demon Slayer: Tanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings explained CrunchyrollTanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings are a family heirloom in Demon Slayer, but they have a lot of significance in the anime series. Here’s what we know about the iconic items. Demon Slayer is one of the most popular anime and manga series among new-gen Shonen. The story is set in a world where man-eating demons hide in the shadows and attack in the dead of night. These demons are immensely powerful, possessing regenerative abilities, and some can even use Blood Demon Art. The protagonist, Tanjiro, is on a mission to defeat the demon progenitor, Muzan Kibutsuji, and find a way to turn his sister back into a human. However, as soon as Muzan laid his eyes on Tanjiro’s earrings, he considered him his mortal enemy. It reminds him of his old nemesis, Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Considering the connection between Yoriichi and the Kamado bloodline, the earrings hold a lot of historical value. Tanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings significance in Japanese culture Demon Slayer has a classical theme with lots of references to Japanese culture, and Tanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings are no different. In Japanese, Hanafuda means “playing cards.” They are colorfully decorated, and the patterns are often symmetrical, though that’s not always the case. Originally, Hanafuda earrings are made to resemble flowers, nature, and even the “Rising Sun.” Tanjiro’s earrings are similar to those of playing cards but not exactly identical. Tanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings show a flower, but the design is such that they could be reminiscent of the Japanese imperial flag, which predates the current Japanese flag. The pattern is also similar to a rising sun, which has links to the old imperial flag used during the Second World War. This is also a reason Demon Slayer has been controversial in some Asian countries such as South Korea and China. Nonetheless, “sun” is a critical part of the story, so this symbolism actually makes sense. Why are Tanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings important in Demon Slayer? Since he had no descendants, Yoriichi passed not only his earrings to his friend, Tanjiro’s ancestor, but also handed down the Sun Breathing technique. Tanjiro’s ancestors passed down the legacy to his descendants, and the Kamada family continued it for centuries. Finally, a time came when Tanjiro inherited that legacy. Yoriichi is the strongest demon slayer in history, someone Muzan Kibutsuji fears to this day. He created the Sun Breathing Technique, from which all other breathing techniques originate. The Sengoku Era was the golden era of demon slayers because he provided humans the only chance to fight back against those demons. Muzan barely escaped during their battle, which was Yoriichi’s biggest regret in life. His pregnant wife eventually died due to a demon attack, leaving him no family at all. Because of that, Tanjiro’s family inherited the earrings and the Sun Breathing technique, making them powerful but also putting them at odds with Muzan. Demon Slayer Season 4 will premiere this Spring, featuring the Hashira Training Arc. We have a list of the best anime like Demon Slayer, if you want other great anime to watch. Or, you can look ahead to shows like Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 and One Punch Man Season 3.

Demon Slayer: The criteria to become a Hashira explained CrunchyrollThe Hashira are the nine strongest and most reputable swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps. However, the anime has yet to fully explain how someone can become eligible for that position. In Demon Slayer, Hashira is the highest rank obtained in the Demon Slayer Corps. They are the most skilled and feared soldiers in the entire organization, protecting humanity from more severe dangers that other slayers cannot handle. The Hashira have more responsibilities than any other Corps members, making the rank a big responsibility. Demon Slayer never clearly reveals how and when the Hashira of this era obtained their ranks. That said, there are certain requirements that everyone must fulfil if they ever want to become the most respected warriors in the Corps. Tanjiro is learning more about this challenge in Demon Slayer Season 4, as he attempts to move up the rankings himself. While he sweats, delve deeper to find out what the criteria are to become a Hashira. How does a demon slayer become a Hashira? A Hashira candidate must be among the strongest warriors in the Demon Slayer Corps to even qualify for training. There are two known techniques for proving one’s competence to become a Hashira, and they’re both exceedingly difficult. The first is through achieving a certain killcount, either by killing at least 50 demons or slaying a member of the Twelve Kizuki. The second method is to be a Tsuguko of a Hashira, which requires great talent. Tsuguko can also only inherit the rank if their associated Hashira dies or retires. The effort required to achieve each of these ways needs about five years of training. Tanjiro is undergoing the first method, but he’s seeking guidance from Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, in order to fully obtain the rank. This will be one of his toughest challenges, but he’ll be one of the all-time greatest Demon Slayers by the end. Some prodigies just need two or three years. Additionally, two Hashira, Muichiro Tokito and Gyomei Himejima, rose to the rank only two months after becoming Demon Slayers. If you want to know more about the franchise, we have what you should know before Demon Slayer Season 4, the Demon Slayer Season 4 episode schedule, and who is the strongest Demon Slayer.

Demon Slayer: The history of Demon Slayer Corps explained CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Corps is an organization dedicated to defeating all demons from Japan, including the demon Proginetor Muzan Kibutsuji. Demon Slayer is a popular Shonen anime and manga series following Tanjiro Kamado, who is searching for a cure for his sister, who was turned into a demon. To fulfill his goal, Tanjiro trained relentlessly and joined the Demon Slayer Corps. The series gained immense popularity with its three seasons and one canon movie. The franchise has three seasons and a movie; the fourth season debuted last week. However, despite that, the history of the Demon Slayer Corps has yet to be explored. The organization is run by the Ubuyashiki family, who strive to defeat Muzan and eradicate all demons from existence. Here’s a look at the history of the Demon Slayer Corps. What is the Demon Slayer Corps? The Demon Slayer Corps is an independent organization that the government does not officially recognize. Because of its clandestine nature, its members must operate in secrecy, which means Demon Slayers cannot publicly wield their swords in public. The vast majority of individuals are unaware of its existence. They can carry out their jobs surreptitiously and effectively if they keep a low profile and avoid drawing undue attention. The Demon Slayer Corps operates solely on the resources the Ubuyashiki family provides, with no backing from the government or other sponsors. The amassed riches of the Ubuyashiki family are earned through their unique talent of foresight. The income is critical to ensure that the Demon Slayers have the required means and resources to carry out their tasks properly. When was the organization founded? The Demon Slayer Corps was founded over a thousand years ago (Heian Era), shortly after Muzan Kibutsuji, a distant relative of the Ubuyashiki family, turned into a demon. Due to this, a mysterious curse befell the Ubuyashiki bloodline, causing the subsequent generations to suffer from premature deaths. Seeking advice from a priest, the family dedicated their entire lives and fortune to defeating Muzan and establishing the Corps. Although the Ubuyashiki family were too physically weak to fight on their own, they ensured that the Corps members had enough resources to fight against the demons. Sengoku Era – The Golden Age of the demon slayers Centuries later, in the Sengoku Era, the Demon Slayer Corps members learned Breathing Styles from Yoriichi Tsugikuni. They also developed skills that could overpower demons. Most of them also developed Demon Slayer Marks, establishing the Golden Age of the demon slayers. However, the marked slayers shortened their lifespans after using too much power and died before age 25. As a result, the knowledge of the Demon Slayer Mark was lost over time. Only one member from each generation of the Kamado family will naturally have the mark manifested on their foreheads. While Yoriichi was still a Corps member during the Sengoku Era, he battled Muzan and almost killed him. Muzan escaped after suffering devastating wounds that continued to burn him for centuries. Ultimately, during the Taisho Era (the current timeline), the Demon Slayer Corps gathered all its might to defeat Muzan and the Upper Moons, finally ending their horror. If you want to know more about the franchise, we have what you should know before Demon Slayer Season 4, the Demon Slayer Season 4 episode schedule, and who is the strongest Demon Slayer.

Demon Slayer: The main problem with the production of Season 4 CrunchyrollAs the latest addition to the Demon Slayer franchise has ended, Ufotable has started working on Season 4. However, there’s a major problem with its production. Although the latest season of Demon Slayer has ended, the story is far from over. The animation studio Ufotable has confirmed Season 4 and a teaser featuring all the Hashira. The upcoming season will cover the “Hashira Training Arc.” Season 4 is currently in production and was announced before the finale of Season 3. Demon Slayer is currently the most popular franchise of the studio. Therefore, it won’t be long before fans get to watch the story’s continuation. Although there is no official release date, it will mostly air in 2024. The Hashira Training Arc is the last part of the story before the Final Arc begins, which shows how important it is. The Hashira Training Arc doesn’t have enough chapters for Demon Slayer Season 4 The official title and the teaser clearly show that the fourth season will only cover the Hashira Training Arc. Although there have been speculations that fans may get to see the “Infinity Castle Arc” in the upcoming season, it seems they have to wait a long time to watch that. However, the problem is that the Hashira Training Arc is only nine chapters long. According to the usual pacing of the series, three episodes are more than enough to cover the entire arc. The entire reason there was a Demon Slayer canon movie, “Mugen Train,” was because the arc was too short for a full season. However, even Mugen Train had 16 chapters in the manga. Apart from the teaser, there is no information about the upcoming season, which is why fans are still in the dark about this. The upcoming season will likely feature some scenes from the light novels to compensate for the lack of content. The series currently has 14 light novels. Since the anime will cover the Hashira Training Arc, the light novel scenes will be picked up from the sixth novel, “Demon Slayer Novelization: Breaking into the Infinity Castle! Shinobu’s Thoughts Arc.” The original story is given by Shuka Matsuda, while the illustrations are done by the series’ mangaka Koyoharu Gotoge. Usually, whenever a manga is adapted from a light novel, they miss out on various scenes because of chapter restrictions or deadline issues. Therefore, watching scenes outside of the manga will surely be intriguing. Watch the teaser of Demon Slayer Season 4 below: Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer: The meaning of Kimetsu no Yaiba explained CrunchyrollAlthough the series is commonly known as Demon Slayer, its full name is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Here’s what it truly means. Demon Slayer is a popular anime series based on the manga of the same name. The story is set in a world where demons and demon slayers constantly fight each other. Tanjiro’s family becomes victims of those man-eating demons, and everyone is slaughtered except for his sister Nezuko who is turned into a demon. Upon meeting a mysterious swordsman, Tanjiro swears to become a demon slayer and find a cure for his cure. From then on, he trains relentlessly and gradually becomes a powerful slayer, all the while keeping his sister safe. The franchise has three seasons and one movie under its belt, with the fourth season currently being in production. Delve deeper to find out the meaning of Kimetsu no Yaiba. The meaning of Kimetsu no Yaiba For a good understanding of the meaning of this phrase, one must first understand how the Japanese language’s Kanji script works. It is a logographic script that borrows characters from the Chinese script. It was later adopted by Japanese writers. The first character, “ki” (鬼) in Kimetsu, can also be interpreted as “oni” (demon). The next character, “metsu” (滅), can be interpreted as “horobosu.” It means to slay or destroy. Finally, the word Yaiba (刃) refers to an edge, blade, or sword. Therefore, the phrase “Kimetsu no Yaiba” translates to “The Demon Slaying Sword.” The reason for selecting “Demon Slayer” as the anime’s English title is unclear, but it could be because the phrase is short and has a pleasant ring to it. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer: The powers and abilities of Muzan Kibutsuji explained CrunchyrollMuzan Kibutsuji is the primary antagonist in Demon Slayer, whose real powers are yet to be revealed in the anime. However, as the original demon, his powers are beyond any living being. Demon Slayer’s primary antagonist, Muzan Kibutsuji, s the Demon King, the first of his kind and the progenitor of all other demons in existence. He has been around for over a millennium, not once seeing the light of day. He is also the leader of the Twelve Kizuki, a group of the twelve most powerful demons working directly under him. His strength is unlike any being in the world, which is why he has been able to survive for this long. During the Heian Era, over a millennium ago, Muzan transformed into a demon after an experimental treatment to cure his terminal illness. Since then, his only goal has been to love without any weakness and become the perfect immortal. Here’s a look at the powers and abilities of Muzan Kibutsuji in Demon Slayer. The Blood Demon Art of Muzan Kibutsuji in Demon Slayer Muzan’s Blood Demon Art is known as “Biokinesis.” It allows him to alter his body and shapeshift at will. Although all demons have this innate ability, Muzan elevates it by modifying his flesh and organs. Biokinesis is also the only reason Muzan has been able to hide from the Demon Slayer Corps for 1000 years. However, his Blood Demon Art grants much more than a shapeshifting ability. In Infinity Castle, Muzan morphs into a massive flesh cocoon during the battle to dissolve the poison that transforms him back into a human. Muzan then emerges from the cocoon in a stronger form, with jaws sprouting all over his body to quickly kill and swallow Demon Slayers to regain power. His biokinetic abilities also grant him the ability to make puppets of flesh and command them. He also has a unique anatomy, which he obtained via manipulating and modifying his own physiological features. Muzan Kibutsuji is the only character in Demon Slayer to have a total of seven hearts and five brains. These extra organs appear to be significantly responsible for the majority of his extraordinarily powerful constitution and resistance to decapitation by Nichirin Swords. Muzan uses two primary techniques of his Blood Demon Art: “Black Blood, Brambles and Shockwave Energy Blast.” Black Blood, Brambles allows him to use his own flesh and blood to create several black spiked-barbed wires to entangle his target. On the other hand, Shockwave Energy Blast is the ability to project long-ranged energy-like shockwaves that destroys the nervous systems of Muzan’s targets. The targets suffer extreme seizures and convulsions, even rendering them unable to breathe for a brief time. Shockwave Energy Blast is one of the terrifying abilities of Muzan Kibutsuji in Demon Slayer. Muzan’s Demonic Blood grants him special abilities beyond his Blood Demon Art Muzan Kibutsuji is the only character in Demon Slayer to transform humans into demons. Not only that, he can further amplify their powers by giving them more of his blood. However, this depends on how much blood the recipient can withstand and adapt to. Muzan can read the minds of other demons with whom he has shared his blood simply by looking at them. He can also communicate with other demons telepathically and conduct lengthy dialogues with them. He once appeared in Akaza’s mind to persuade him to keep fighting. Later, he communicated with Kokushibo to discover how many Hashira he had defeated and to instruct him to keep them at bay until he recovered from Tamayo’s poison. Muzan has very keen senses that allow him to notice things that are beyond the typical range of perception. He identified the existence of humans even when they were dispersed around a mountain and detected wounded Demon Slayers regaining consciousness while being far away from them. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer Season 4 teaser confirms the return of fan-favorite Hashira CrunchyrollAlthough the third season has ended, fans can look forward to Season 4 of Demon Slayer, especially since the teaser looks promising. Furthermore, fans will get to see their favorite Hashira back in action. Demon Slayer Season 4 is currently under production as the animation studio Ufotable has confirmed it with a teaser. Demon Slayer is currently the most popular franchise of the studio. Although there is no official release date, the fourth season will mostly air in 2024. It will primarily cover the “Hashira Training Arc.” Mitsuri and Muichiro manage to overpower the Upper Moons by manifesting their Demon Slayer Marks. This gives hope to the Ubuyashiki Family, who are in peril because of Kagaya’s deteriorating health and the high number of casualties among the demon slayers. Therefore, the Hashira decide to train themselves and their juniors in hopes of defeating the Upper Moons and even Muzan Kibutsuji. Demon Slayer Season 4 teaser features Tengen Uzui who will return to fulfil his duties Here’s the first teaser of Demon Slayer Season 4 The teaser features all the Hashira except Kyojuro Rengoku, who passed away after his battle with Akaza. The Demon Slayer Corps faced another loss in the “Entertainment District Arc” as Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira, retired after losing an arm and an eye. Although he survived, thanks to Nezuko neutralizing Gyutaro’s poison, Uzui is now incapable of fighting at his full strength. Furthermore, with the constant he faced by staying at the Corps, he and his wives had long wanted to live peaceful lives. After Season 2, it may seem like Uzui will never be part of the series again, but he does have some role in the Hashira Training Arc as well as the Final Arc. Although the teaser of Demon Slayer Season 4 doesn’t give any information, Uzui will be in charge of training the Corps members. The training will be divided into levels as the recruits get to train under each Hashira and learn something new. Uzui will be at the first trial, and one can only move to the other Hashira if they get his approval. He will be responsible for developing the slayers’ physical strengths.

Demon Slayer Season 4 will have special final episodes CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 4 is getting close to its conclusion as the studio is planning special final episodes for fans. Demon Slayer Season 4 features the Hashira Training Arc as the demon slayers get ready for the final fight against Muzan and the upper moons. The anime debuted this spring season and has been well-loved among fans. Because the manga has a short arc, the anime includes several scenes from the light novel. The season is listed for eight episodes, six of which have already aired. Demon Slayer Season 4 will air the final two episodes on June 23 and 30, 2024. However, the anime will have special episodes, with Episode 7 being extended to 40 minutes and Episode 8 to 60 minutes. The anime also had a special finale in Season 3 with a 60-minute runtime. Hashira Training is the shortest arc of the story, yet the studio has turned nine manga chapters into eight episodes, with two having longer runtimes. The first episode is also a one-hour premiere, focusing on the Hashira meeting as they reveal the history behind the Demon Slayer Marks. Additionally, Muichiro explains the conditions required to manifest the mark. After this season, the story will continue in the Infinity Castle movie where the fight against Upper Moon and Muzan begins. According to the official website, the synopsis of Season 4 reads, “After completing Iguro and Sanemi’s training, Tanjiro heads to Himejima’s training site deep in the mountains with Zenitsu. Tanjiro’s reunion with Inosuke and Murata, who had already begun training, is short-lived, and intense training with Himejima begins…” Check out the release schedule of Demon Slayer Season 4 so you won’t miss out on an episode.

Demon Slayer Season 4’s anime-only scenes celebrated as the “highlight” by fans Koyoharu Gotouge/ufotableIt’s a well-known fact that fans sometimes hate filler but Demon Slayer Season 4 has convinced some to change their opinion with the new anime-only scenes featuring Sanemi, Obanai, and Muichiro in Episode 4. Demon Slayer was one of the most highly anticipated upcoming anime in 2024. It soon cemented its spot among the best anime of the year upon premiering. The fourth season adapts the Hashira Training Arc, the preemptive Demon Slayer arc before the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji begins. Being a short arc of the Demon Slayer manga with only eight chapters, it makes sense that the anime will need more to cover an entire season. Though Demon Slayer Season 4 is rumored to be the shortest season with only eight episodes, that’s still too long for the source material. Hence, there are so many anime only scenes in Season 4. The studio has the events of the arc spread across the episodes while filling in the gaps with filler scenes. In the recently released Episode 4, there is an exclusive scene where three Hashira clash against one another. The scene starts with the Wind Hashira Sanemi and the Serpent Hashira Obanai busy in a practice match. After discovering they are evenly matched, they are joined by the young Mist Hashira Muichiro. This leads to a beautifully animated scene of the three Hashira sparring. While anime fans usually detest filler scenes, the brilliance of ufotable’s animation and the scene’s positioning in the story have viewers asking for more. They love these anime-only scenes and think these contribute greatly to the Demon Slayer universe. These moments give viewers a deeper understanding of the characters and are a joy to watch. As one X user puts, “In my opinion, their side story has been the highlight of the season and usually the moments I enjoy the most in the episodes they are in.” Another joins, “Love both Sanemi and Obanai, so more characterization and scenes of them is a big win for me.” A third comments, “Love seeing them being bros. And with the sparring scene in the newest episode with Muichiro – just imagine if the three of them fought alongside each other.” These reactions are proof enough of how greatly received Demon Slayer Season 4 is. And with the Infinity Castle Arc on its way, the series has a bright future ahead. The anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll with four episodes released so far.

Demon Slayer Season 4’s best episodes are still to come, believe fans Koyoharu Gotouge/ufotableDemon Slayer Season 4 has already received plenty of good reviews from viewers, but fans think that the last few episodes will be the best of the season. As one of the biggest releases this year, Demon Slayer Season 4 has a lot of eyes on it. Given the show’s past record, it’s no surprise that this was one of the most highly anticipated anime in 2024, and is now being considered one of the best anime of the year. Despite being the shortest season of the franchise with only eight episodes, Demon Slayer Season 4 has managed to impress fans once again. The Hashira Training Arc may not have a lot of action going, but the anime-only scenes ufotable added have kept the hype alive. However, fans think that the best of the season is yet to come. Five episodes of Season 4 have already been released, leaving only three left. The season will reach its peak from the upcoming Episode 6, and there are plenty of reasons for that. (Beware of spoilers ahead!) The last few chapters of this arc in the Demon Slayer manga are where things get heated. Tanjiro finally gets to train under Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira and the strongest of the bunch. Not only that, but Muzan Kibutsuji will have his long-awaited confrontation with Kagaya Ubuyashiki in the upcoming episodes. Demon Slayer fans are also hoping for ufotable’s “big names” to helm the last three episodes. Famed directors like Toshiyuki Shirai, Ken Nakazawa, and Takashi Suhara are among the few that viewers want for Episodes 6, 7, and 8. “The final 3 episodes of this season should easily be the best episodes of this arc,” posted one X user, while another commented, “These 6 chapters have some of the best content in the series in general, and it seems that they are planning to expand Gyomei’s content somehow…” A third added, “Have really high hope for next episode… probably some anime-only Gyomei scenes (maybe even a fight) and I AM PRAYING for more Tamayo and Shinobu.” By the way the current season is going, fans are not wrong expecting the best ahead. But whether the anime manages to meet their expectations will be answered in the upcoming Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 6, which will be released on June 16, 2024.

Demon Slayer: What is Shinobu’s plan to defeat the demon who killed Kanae? CrunchyrollThe second episode of Demon Slayer Season 4 reveals Shinobu has a plan to defeat the demon who killed Kanae. But how powerful is that demon, and how will they lose? Demon Slayer Season 4 features Giyu’s backstory in Episode 2. The episode begins with Tanjiro reading a letter from Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Kagaya wishes to help Giyu with his inner struggles, but he can’t due to his failing health. Hence, Kagaya asked Tanjiro to help him. Initially, Giyu avoided Tanjiro to the best of his abilities. However, Giyu eventually tells him everything, hoping Tanjiro would leave him be. Meanwhile, Shinobu struggles as she refuses to participate in the Hashira Training. Kanao openly expresses her wish to learn from Shinobu, which makes the latter genuinely happy. Kanao has never been able to express herself because of her past. However, Shinobu instead mentions the demon that killed Kanae and how she plans to kill them. Warning: This article contains spoilers from the manga! Who killed Kanae in Demon Slayer? The Upper Moon Two of the twelve Kizuki, Doma, killed Kanae Kocho in Demon Slayer. Kanae was a Hashira, and she encountered Upper Two, against whom she was no match. The manga doesn’t feature the fight, but it reveals that Doma lands a fatal blow to her. Before taking her final breath, she requests Shinobu to leave the Demon Slayer Corps, but the latter insists on taking revenge. Shinobu crafted a brilliant plan for all these years and knew she would get her chance in the final battle of Demon Slayer. However, as Episode 2 suggests, she needs Kanao’s help. What is Shinobu’s plan to kill Doma? Shinobu is infusing her body with poison, which will weaken Doma if he eats her. Shinobu’s entire plan revolved around sacrificing herself. She knows a demon like Upper Moon Two cannot be killed by ordinary means. She also knows Doma prefers feasting on women. Doma gains strength by consuming a lot of women, which he believes are better to consume since they contain numerous nutrients utilized to nourish infants. Shinobu has always killed demons with her poisons. But Upper Two is too powerful to die from that. Hence, she poisons her own body for years before fighting Doma. When they encounter each other in the manga, as expected, the demon consumes her, which gives Kanao a chance to behead him. Not only that, but Inosuke also fights him after seeing Kanao in danger. The combined efforts of these demon slayers killed one of the most powerful demons in history. Check out the release schedule of Demon Slayer Season 4 so you won’t miss out on an episode.

Demon Slayer studio drops cryptic clues for new anime Crunchyroll/AniplexAniplex, the company behind Demon Slayer’s success, knows how to create hype for upcoming projects. Recently, the popular production studio teased a new anime on social media that has sent fans into a tizzy. Winter 2024 is full of surprises for the anime community as the season came with some of the much-awaited titles like Solo Leveling, A Sign of Affection, and more. Adding to that, Aniplex raised the bars even higher with the posts that started surfacing on January 15, 2024. The studio is mainly known for some popular shows that break the internet whenever they come back with new seasons. These anime shows include Demon Slayer, Fullmetal Alchemist, Sword Art Online, and more. Solo Leveling anime is the recent one that the company worked on, and now, we should get ready for another exciting announcement. Demon Slayer studio hypes up a new project with intriguing clues On Monday, January 15, 2024, Aniplex dropped a teaser of an upcoming anime on X. Generally, the animation/production studios share short teaser trailers for the upcoming anime shows. However, Aniplex chose an unique path and released a teaser promo that featured nothing more than a huge ‘O’ with a blue backdrop. The hint was enough for fans to start their guessing game. While several enthusiasts think that the company might come up with the announcement of Sakamoto days, others think they are hinting at Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. For the unacquainted, the latter is a Korean Manhwa, which is reportedly getting an anime adaptation. Along with the image, a website has also been created the same day with no other details regarding it. To add to the anticipation, Aniplex dropped another clue on Tuesday. This time, it’s an ‘M’ on a pink background. For now, we do not have sufficient information about the project coming our way, but as revealed by Crunchyroll, we can expect to get more details on January 18, 2024. Even though we don’t know what Aniplex is cooking, we shall keep our fingers crossed to see if it will be an original anime or an anime adaptation of any other popular manga/manhwa series.

Demon Slayer Season 4: Release date, trailer, plot, and more CrunchyrollTanjiro has returned for Demon Slayer Season 4, as the epic anime continues into the Hashira Training Arc. Demon Slayer has given us three seasons of engrossing adventures as the protagonist Tanjiro kills demons and journeys across early 1900s Japan. Now, he faces one of his most daunting obstacles in becoming a Hashira, an elite rank within the Demon Slayer Corps. Besides the first three seasons, we’ve had one proper anime film, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, which is currently the highest-grossing movie ever in Japan. For Demon Slayer Season 4, Toho, Aniplex, and ufotable decided to have the best of both worlds by providing a compilation film, Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training, as well as more episodes of one of the best anime. How does that work? We can explain, and tell you everything else about Demon Slayer Season 4 while we’re at it. We have a list of the best anime shows to watch if you love Demon Slayer, too, if you already have all the info needed! Demon Slayer Season 4 release date Demon Slayer Season 4 started on Sunday, May 12, 2024, with new episodes releasing on Crunchyroll in the US and UK. Fans had a chance to see the first episode of Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc in theaters on Friday, February 23, 2024, in the compilation film Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training. Now, we only have a couple of months to wait before we get to see the rest of the season! Previous seasons of Demon Slayer started in April, and that release window provided ample time for the new film to run its course in cinemas around the world — particularly in Japan, where it set box office records. Is Demon Slayer Season 4 a movie? Demon Slayer Season 4 is not a movie. However, leading into the new season, we got the last episode of the Swordsmith Arc and the first episode of the Hashira Training Arc stitched together for a theatrical event known as a ‘compilation film’. Demon Slayer has done this before, with Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village in 2023, which combined episodes from the Entertainment District Arc and the Swordsmith Village Arc. The film creates a big stir — fans can see the opening episode on the biggest screen possible, and the shortly after the compilation movie opens, the season starts airing weekly as normal. Demon Slayer Season 4 cast All the regular voices have come back for Demon Slayer Season 4 in both Japanese and English. Natsuki Hanae, Akari Kitou, and Hiro Shimono are synonymous with Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Zenitsu, and that won’t be changing any time soon. Though Natsuki Hanae has roles in Tokyo Ghoul, Bleach, and Haikyu!!, and Akari Kitou in Classroom of the Elite and SSSS.Gridman, Demon Slayer will always be a highlight for them. And rightly so! Tomokazu Sugita joins them as Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira who trains Tanjiro. You might have heard his voice recently in Kaiju No 8, where he’s Takamichi Hotaka, and he’s part of My Hero Academia as Skeptic. The Japanese Demon Slayer Season 4 cast: Tanjiro Kamado – Natsuki Hanae – Nezuko Kamado – Akari Kitô – Inosuke Hashibira – Yoshitsugu Matsuoka – Zenitsu Agatsuma – Hiro Shimono – Muzan Kibutsuji – Toshihiko Seki – Kagaya Ubuyashiki – Toshiyuki Morikawa – Giyu Tomioka – Takahiro Sakurai – Mitsuri Kanroji – Kana Hanazawa – Muichiro Tokito – Kengo Kawanishi – The English Demon Slayer Season 4 cast: Tanjiro Kamado – Zack Aguilar – Nezuko Kamado – Abby Trott – Inosuke Hashibira – Bryce Papenbrook – Zenitsu Agatsuma – Aleks Le – Muzan Kibutsuji – Greg Chun – Kagaya Ubuyashiki – Matt Mercer – Giyu Tomioka – Johnny Yong Bosch – Mitsuri Kanroji – Kira Buckland – Muichiro Tokito – Griffin Burns – Demon Slayer Season 4 plot Tanjiro ist aking on arduous training to be a Hashira in Demon Slayer Season 4. That’s a high rank within the Demon Slayer Corps, and requires an incredible amount of hard work. He does this by working with Himejima, a hard-nosed Hashira who tests Tanjiro to his limits. A scramble has taken place within the ranks of Demon Slayers, to prepare for an epic showdown against Muzan. The villain realized he needs to eat Nezuko in order to achieve his goal, and begins searching for her. The corps need everyone to be as strong as possible, and that means more cardio, weight-lifting and exercising than you can imagine. Almost all the living Hashira are involved, across six stages. This arc isn’t especially long, but it’s a major preamble for what’s next: the Infinity Castle Arc. That’s where the final battle against Muzan takes shape. The trailer focuses on the training regiment, showing Tanjiro pushing himself as other students struggle with exhaustion. This will be a tough arc for him to get through, but he’ll be a leaner, meaner Demon Slayer by the end, that’s for sure. Of course, you can expect plenty more surprises than just some training montages, but that’d be spoilers. Carrying on the manga, Demon Slayer Season 4 is adapting chapters 128-136. That’s the entire Hashira Training Arc, and is covered in Volumes 15 and 16 if you’re reading the collected editions. Demon Slayer Season 4 trailer Demon Slayer Season 4’s full trailer was released in March 2024, showing Tanjiro being pushed to his limited training to be a Hashira. Before this, all we had were teasers for the To The Hashira Training compilation film. They didn’g give much away, other than the fact we’re in for some of Tanjiro’s most intense tribulations to date. Where to watch Demon Slayer Season 4 You can watch Demon Slayer Season 4 on Crunchyroll in the US and UK. Likewise, fans in both territories can watch Demon Slayer on Netflix, however the release is likely to be delayed, similar to Season 3, and probably won’t arrive on the service until later in 2024.

Demon Slayer Season 4: Should you watch To The Hashira Training first? UfotableThe highly-anticipated Demon Slayer Season 4 is about to make its debut, but should you watch To The Hashira Training movie first? Demon Slayer Season 4 is one of the most highly anticipated anime of the year. The season will feature Tanjiro and others undergoing vigorous training to develop their skills. The fight against Upper Moons in Season 3 has proven that the Demon Slayers cannot fight those monsters without manifesting Demon Slayer Marks. Even so, manifesting those marks is especially difficult, and only a select few can do that. The arc is only nine chapters long in the manga, which isn’t enough to create an entire season. Hence, the anime will include a few scenes from the light novel to make up for the lack of material. The Hashira Training arc is the last part of the story before the Final arc begins. In February and March this year, the franchise released Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training movie in over 140 countries. But do you need to have seen that to understand Season 4? Should you watch Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training before Season 4? No, it’s not necessary to watch Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training before Season 4. It was a promotional movie that included the entire finale from Season 3 as well as the first episode from Season 4. The movie also introduced the new opening theme. Season 4 Episode 1 adapts Chapters 128, 129, the first half of 130, and the second half of 131 from the Hashira Training arc of the manga. It also includes scenes that aren’t in the manga. Although it is a different experience watching the anime on the big screen, the movie was only an expensive promo. Hence, even if you haven’t watched the movie, you won’t miss out on anything. Can you stream Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training Arc? No, Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training Arc isn’t available on any streaming platform. The movie had a grand global premiere this year. It came out in Japanese theatres on February 2, 2024, before hosting a grand premiere in the USA on February 10, 2024. The movie was released in more than 140 countries from February 2 to March 7, including India, the UK, Hong Kong, the USA, France, and more. For more from Demon Slayer, check out our list of things you should know before watching Season 4. We also have a guide on how to watch Demon Slayer in order.

Tanjiro has Demon Slayer fans all thinking the same thing after new episode CrunchyrollTanjiro is undergoing his Hashira training in Demon Slayer Season 4, but he’s the one who’s bugging one of the elite warriors to take part, and fans are enamored. In Episode 2 of Demon Slayer Season 4, Tanjiro has to call on Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira. He does so multiple times, in a very sweet montage that has the anime show‘s protagonist poking his face into Giyu’s life any which way he can. Naturally, such a sequence has been clipped on social media already, and viewers have become obsessed with the cuteness. Tanjiro is a dedicated member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and he wants his Hashira training, no matter how reluctant the trainers. “This episode summed up: Giyu-San!” reads a top comment on Reddit. “Something about his laying in bed and Tanjiro’s shadow just menacingly in the background caught me so off guard,” says another. “Tanjiro and his good boy brain to always try and make friends with someone stoic,” a fan on X/Twitter observes. Truly, Tanjiro is almost insufferably good-natured, always trying to get some energy out of the most reserved characters. He’s like a puppy when there’s someone in his sights, and this example, in particular, is one that has huge potential to live on in infame. This relationship isn’t just suddenly developing either, Giyu-san had faith in Tanjiro and Nezuko from the off. He joins the franchise in the first episode of the anime, and the first chapter of the manga, making him a true original. Even if he’s reserved, there’s a connection, and Tanjiro feels it. “Tanjiro doesn’t just see Giyu as a mentor only, but like his big brother,” a viewer says. Adorable. The Hashira Training Arc continues, and if you’re up to date, check out our list of the best anime, as well as our guides on Tanjiro’s earrings and To The Hashira Training for more on the franchise.

Demon Slayer fans notice hilarious running gag with Tanjiro and the Hashira CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 4 has Tanjiro interacting with many of the Hashira, and fans are starting to notice his attempts at a first impression. Demon Slayer has moved onto the Hashira Training Arc, a shorter part of the narrative that has Tanjiro and many other Demon Slayer Corps cadets pushing to ascend in their rank. He’s trying to become Hashira, which requires being trained by others in that lucrative position. The process requires involvement from as many living Hashira as possible, and though a couple decline to attend, most show up. Tanjiro’s been pretty starry-eyed to any he’s met so far, and they all seem to be getting the same welcome. A side-by-side comparison posted on X/Twitter shows that not only did Tanjiro invite both Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, and Muichiro Tokito, the Mist Hashira, to a silly contest, but he did so in the same animation. Obviously, ufotable sees the humor in Tanjiro’s approach here. He asks Giyu for a noodle-eating competition and challenges Muichiro over paper airplanes. Hey, just because you’re fighting demons doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, right? One fan believes this happens “because Tanjiro is love, there are no more explanations.” Another adds: “Because he’s an ANGEL.” Viewers love this side of Tanjiro, who, like many shonen protagonists, refuses to allow his optimism to be dimmed. “Tanjiro is like a brother for the Hashira’s that need him the most,” writes one fan. “The face from Tanjiro and the shocked expression is so good! I wanna see more…” says another. Of course, now everyone’s in on the joke, it’s expected, and a few comment about seeing it next episode, when another Hashira shows up. If so, ufotable will have created a wonderful gag that’s letting everyone have a giggle before Infinity Castle arrives and the war with Muzan begins. Before then, check out our guides on Tanjiro’s earrings and Shinobu’s plans to defeat the demon that killed Kanae.

Demon Slayer Season 4 teases the “best arc”, and fans are freaking out CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 4 has arrived, with the premiere jumping straight into the Hashira Training Arc. A small scene teased something else on the way, however, and fans are very excited about the prospect. Demon Slayer is heading toward the Final Battle Arc right now, with just the short Hashira Training Arc to get through first. As you might guess, this means Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps are put through their paces by the Hashira in the hopes of obtaining the high rank as warriors. It’s all a preamble to the big stand-off against the evil Muzan. That battle is split into two parts: the Infinity Castle Arc and the Sunrise Countdown Arc, and we got a glimpse of the former in the first episode of Demon Slayer Season 4 which has left the fandom giddy. “The tease to the greatest New Gen arc, ahhhh Infinity Castle,” tweeted one fan. ‘New Gen’ refers to this era of manga, as the current high volume of series, such as Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen, has created a resurgence in Shonen anime. “Infinity Castle looks so cool,” adds another fan, posting a clip of the scene. Sanemi and Obanai, the Wind and Serpent Hashira, briefly drop into the realm, seeing all the horrors first-hand. It’s the first proper look we’ve gotten at Muzan’s abode, and the visuals are incredible. Ufotable really capture the impossible architecture and unsettling nature of the dimesnion, as set out in Koyoharu Gotouge’s manga. Needless to say, we should be glad Tanjiro is currently training, because it looks like he’ll need to be as strong as possible. Check out our guides on things you should know before watching Demon Slayer Season 4, who is the strongest Demon Slayer, and how to watch Demon Slayer Season 4 for more on Tanjiro’s quest.

Demon Slayer Season 4 ignores one character, and fans aren’t happy Koyoharu Gotouge/ufotableDemon Slayer Season 4 may be one of the biggest hits of the year, but fans are not happy with how the season ignores Kanao. The fourth season of Demon Slayer is considered a fan-favorite anime of Spring 2024. Adapting the Hashira Training Arc, this season shows Tanjiro and his friends training under the Hashira to prepare for the ultimate battle against Muzan Kibutsuji. Like the past seasons, Demon Slayer Season 4 is widely beloved by viewers. Though it lacks the characteristic intense battles of the anime show, fans are still loving the animation and anime-only scenes Ufotable added. However, they’re not happy with how the series doesn’t give Kanao proper screen time. She is Insect Hashira Shinobu’s adopted sister and protégé. She’s also Tanjiro’s love interest in the series, though they don’t get together until the end. More importantly, Kanao plays a crucial role in the upcoming Infinity Castle Arc — the last Demon Slayer arc. So, fans want more screen time for her, especially since Ufotable has already added extra scenes for some characters. On top of that, she appears in the Season 4 opening credits but doesn’t have enough moments in the episodes. The only time viewers catch a glimpse of her is when she has a brief conversation with Shinobu. Kanao is a demon slayer just like Tanjiro and his friends. So, fans think there should’ve been more scenes of them training together. But even if that didn’t happen, since Kanao cleared her training well before them, the anime series could have included more scenes of her. “Kanao just hasn’t gotten anything between Season 1 and Infinity Castle besides a single moment with Tanjiro in Season 3,” one fan commented on Reddit, “Like bro, stop doing my girl so dirty, she’s part of the squad too.” “I am now hoping we get a new anime-only scene with Kanao, although I’m afraid it might be too late for that now,” wrote another, while a third added, “I pray she gets at least one anime-only scene.” Demon Slayer Season 4 has two episodes left, so there’s still time for Kanao to have more screen time. The season will have special final episodes with extended runtime. You can catch the last two episodes on Crunchyroll. And you can stay updated about the anime with our Demon Slayer Season 4 episode schedule. For more about the series, check out our explainer on the stages of the Hashira Training and ranking of the saddest backstories.

Demon Slayer Season 4 is going to make Infinity Castle Arc “hurt” CrunchyrollThe training continues in Demon Slayer Season 4, as Tanjiro is put through the motions by the various Hashira. So far, fans are enjoying the adaptation, to the point that it’s making them dread what’s coming. Demon Slayer is currently adapting the Hashira Training Arc. A short part of the narrative, Hashira training involves Tanjiro and a bunch of other Demon Slayer Corps recruits taking on the rigorous workouts needed to become a high-ranking slayer. As the title implies, they’re trying to become Hashira, the best-of-the-best among Demon Slayers. The anime show’s version of the arc has involved original scenes, and used supplementary materials, such as databooks, to flesh out what’s going down. The result is something that feels satisfying to those familiar with the manga and those who aren’t, but viewers who know what’s coming realize it’s going to be heartbreaking. “The showrunners are really trying to make the Infinity Castle hurt,” says the top comment on a Reddit thread about the episode. “I just know I’m gonna be bawling my eyes out seeing all the rookie demon slayers helping the Hashira during the final fight,” replies another user. Essentially, all these cadets get involved in fighting Muzan, and sadly, they don’t all make it. Even without knowing the manga, you probably surmised that’s what’s going to happen, and it speaks to the anime’s quality even knowledgeable fans are bracing themselves. “Ufotable is being cruel for letting us grow more sympathetic to the Demon Slayer foot soldiers during these episodes, considering the scenes that await them in Infinity Castle and beyond,” another commenter adds. If ever there’s a badge of honor for putting together TV, it’s an accusation of cruelty. It means the production team have the audience right where they want them — as much is part of why Demon Slayer has become one of the best anime going. You can keep up to date on the misery through our guide on the Demon Slayer Season 4 release schedule, and our look at Shinobu’s plan to defeat the demon who killed Kanae.

Demon Slayer leaks reveal Season 4 episode count NetflixDemon Slayer Season 4 is one of the most anticipated anime releases of 2024. While we’ve still to learn more about the upcoming season, a recent leak revealed details that may disappoint some fans. The anime follows an individual named Tanjiro Kamado, who initially resides happily with his family. His world comes crashing down when he finds the dead bodies of his entire family – except one of his sisters, Nezuko, who gets a demonic transformation. As of now, the franchise has produced two mind-blowing seasons and one movie, featuring the Entertainment District Arc. Now, everyone looks forward to the arrival of the fourth season, which is set for release sometime in Spring 2024. Demon Slayer Season 4 leak disappoints fans Social media is a huge source of news in the entertainment industry, but not every piece of information we get online is accurate. Sometimes, the leaks are so bizarre that the community questions their legitimacy. One such leak about Demon Slayer Season 4 has surfaced recently, and it states that the anime series will have 12 episodes that will run for three months. However, fans are reluctant to believe it, because the fourth season will reportedly feature the Hashira Training Arc, which is the shortest arc of the manga. Some fans believe that Demon Slayer Season 4 might adapt two arcs: The Hashira Training Arc and the Final Battle Arc, which involves two semi-arcs – Infinity Castle Arc & Sunrise Countdown Arc. However, the creators have already hinted towards a fifth season that will most probably feature the final arc, ending the battle between demon slayers and the demons. So, it’s unclear whether the first part of the concluding arc will be covered in the fourth season. Regardless, this is simply a rumor, and in the past few months, we’ve seen several false leaks around Demon Slayer Season 4. So, it’s best to take this information with a pinch of salt. You can find out more about Demon Slayer Season 4 here and check out the rest of our anime coverage here.

Demon Slayer Season 4 news will drop in under two weeks NetflixDemon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba will release a major official update very very soon. What could be on the cards for fans? Demon Slayer is one of the most popular anime series of all time and the anticipation for Season 4 is growing with each passing day. With three seasons already under its belt, fans are eager for the next series next installment. So far, we’ve seen the humble charcoal seller Tanjiro Kamado grow into a fully-fledged demon slayer to avenge his murdered family and find a cure for his half-human, half-demon sister Nezuko. The previous three seasons have been a thrilling ride, cementing Demon Slayer’s status as a global phenomenon, and the story isn’t over yet. A recent Twitter post has sparked a frenzy of fan speculation. So, let’s take a look. Demon Slayer will announce a major update soon On November 27, the anime’s official Twitter confirmed the release of the next promo reel in under two weeks. In the post, Ufotable shared that “Promotional Reel 2025 will be released simultaneously worldwide at 21:00 JST on Sunday, December 10.” This alone would be exciting. However, it was only just the beginning. The post also said that, “In addition to YouTube and streaming services around the world, a cable TV broadcast has been ordered for Fuji TV.” Ufotable hasn’t revealed exactly what the reel would be about. However, it’s highly likely that it will cover the upcoming fourth season. The next season will adapt the manga’s Hashira Training arc, which comes after the Swordsmith Village arc, so fans are hoping that the upcoming reel will provide a sneak-peek. The new reel is set to drop at 21:00 JST. But what time is that in your time zone? 07:00 Eastern Time – 04:00 Pacific Time – 06:00 Central Standard Time – 12:00 Greenwich Mean Time – 17:30 Indian Standard Time – 22:00 Australian Eastern Standard Time – What’s Demon Slayer Season 4 about?

Demon Slayer Season 4 opening: Every spoiler explained CrunchyrollThe latest Demon Slayer movie unveils the Season 4 opening – so here’s a look at every spoiler and foreshadowing you can expect. Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training is the latest addition to the franchise. Fans are treated to a special movie before Season 4 officially airs in April 2024. Premiering in over 140 countries, the movie adapts scenes from the fan-favorite Hashira Training arc. It is the last arc of the series before the Final Battle arc begins. As the Hashira and all the demon slayers train relentlessly for the final showdown, Muzan has set his sights on Nezuko and her ability to conquer the sun. The movie reveals the opening theme of the fourth anime season. Titled “Mugen,” MY FIRST STORY and HYDE have collaborated on this incredible song. The opening introduces all the characters along with some foreshadowing that will take place in the anime season. Here’s a look at all the spoilers in the latest opening theme. Warning: Major spoilers from the manga! Demon Slayer opening confirms Tengen Uzui’s role in Season 4 After Rengoku’s death in his fight against Akaza, the Demon Slayer Corps faces another loss when Tengen Uzui decides to retire after losing an arm and an eye while fighting Gyutaro. Although part of the reason he retired is to provide a safe and stable lifestyle for his wives, no one can deny the fact that he cannot fight at his full potential anymore. Although it may have seemed like he wouldn’t be part of the story again, the Hashira Training arc brings a pleasant surprise with his return. Apart from all the Hashira except Giyu and Shinobu, Uzui will also be in charge of training the Corps members. The training will be divided into levels as the recruits get to train under each Hashira and learn something new. Uzui will be at the first trial, and one can only move to the other Hashira if they get his approval. He will be responsible for developing the slayers’ physical strengths. The opening shows his glimpse as Tanjiro is training under him while Uzui is standing in the back with his wives. The ill-fated meeting Between Muzan and Kagaya Apart from the illness that plagued the Ubuyashiki bloodline, the clan has also inherited their hatred for Muzan Kibutsuji. The hatred especially runs deep in the family head, Kagaya Ubuyashiki. In the latest Demon Slayer opening, we briefly see Muzan and Kagaya coming face to face with a giant serpent in the scene. As the serpent first appears, the opening hints that it represents Muzan. However, when Kagaya and Muzan stand in front of each other, the serpent is standing behind Kagaya, proving that there’s more to the sick man than meets the eye. After searching for so long, Muzan finally finds out the location of the Demon Slayer Corps and plans to eradicate them, as well as find Nezuko. However, what he didn’t expect was that after his meeting with Kagaya, the latter would blow up his mansion along with his family. This gives the Hashira an edge against the villain as the Final Battle arc commences. After falling for Kagaya’s trap, Muzan realizes that the former’s hatred toward him is more like a viper coiled within his gut. He also praises Kagaya, who hid such deep animosity, and also calls him wicked for pulling such a move. Demon Slayer opening reveals all of Hashira’s powers Until the Swordsmith Village arc, the series didn’t reveal the powers of Sanemi Shinazugawa, Obanai Iguru, and Gyomei Himejima. However, the latest movie debuts Sanemi’s and Obanai’s powers ahead of manga. Because the Hashira Training arc is only nine chapters long in the manga, the anime will feature scenes from the light novel. The movie also features a non-manga scene where Sanemi and Obanai use their breathing styles. No doubt, this scene will be included in the anime season as well. The manga, however, introduces Sanemi’s powers in Chapter 136 while debuting Obanai’s powers in Chapter 140. Apart from Obanai and Sanemi, the latest Demon Slayer opening also features Gyomei using his strange weapon. The manga introduces his Stone Breathing in Chapter 136, but there’s a possibility we might see it ahead of time, like Sanemi and Obanai. However, even if that isn’t the case, Chapter 136 is the last chapter of the Hashira Training arc, so the anime season is confirmed to introduce the powers of the strongest Hashira. Demon Slayer opening confirms the clash between Giyu and Sanemi Demon Slayer Corps is an organization not recognized by the government. Despite that, it has been successfully functioning for centuries thanks to the amazing ability of the Ubuyashiki family head and the rules they’ve set for the demon slayers. One of those rules strictly prohibits confrontation among themselves, regardless of their ranking. Which is why the fight between Giyu and Sanemi is odd. Although they have opposite personalities, with Sanemi being the hot-headed one, he wouldn’t draw his sword against Giyu for no reason. Tanjiro witnesses their fight and asks them to stop. He also misunderstands that Sanemi is angry over some sweets. However, he soon finds out that the two are actually sparring against each other. Training the low-ranking demon slayer isn’t the only goal of the Hashira Training; the Hashira themselves must hone their skills. Since Giyu isn’t training anyone, Sanemi decides to spar with him before Tanjiro interferes. The confrontation between Shinazugawa brothers The Swordsmith Village arc reveals the heartbreaking backstory of the Shinazugawa brothers. Genya and Sanemi are the only survivors in their family, as all their siblings were killed by their mother, who had been turned into a demon. Sanemi had no choice but to kill her. However, when Genya witnesses the scene, he misunderstands and blames his older brother. Sanemi then joins the Demon Slayer Corps and distances himself from Genya. Even though Genya had long realized his mistake, Sanemi never gave him the opportunity to approach him. Hence, Genya aimed to become a Hashira and ask for his brother’s forgiveness. The opening theme features them standing in a hall, with Genya facing Sanemi’s back. In the manga, Genya tries to talk with Sanemi, and Tanjiro witnesses this scene. The confrontation ends terribly, with Sanemi being enraged at Genya after finding out he ate demons to grow stronger. Although the brothers’ misunderstanding isn’t clear in the Hashira Training arc, the series later reveals that Sanemi loves Genya more than anyone. He even distances himself from his only family, so Genya wouldn’t follow in his footsteps and risk his life to fight demons. Demon Slayer opening ends with Tanjiro attacking Muzan As the protagonist of Demon Slayer, it goes without saying that Tanjiro will have a significant role to play in the Final Battle arc. He already has a personal vendetta against the demon progenitor. However, apart from that, Tanjiro also wishes to end the cycle of tragedy by killing Muzan and ensuring there are no demons in the world again. However, the Hashira Training arc in the manga doesn’t feature their confrontation. In Chapter 139, Infinity Castle arc (first part of the Final Battle arc), all the Hashira gather to defeat Muzan after Kagaya’s sacrifice. Tanjiro also smells explosives and burning flesh and heads toward them. They all attack Muzan, but the villain traps them in the Infinity Castle. Tanjiro and Muzan will then exchange blows in the Sunrise Countdown arc. Muzan mixes his blood with his attacks, injuring and killing several Demon Slayers at once. Tanjiro also gets hit by it, but since he survives, the poison from Muzan’s blood causes his cell destruction and almost kills him. Despite that, he continues fighting and sees the sunrise with the few surviving demon slayers.

Demon Slayer Season 4 premiere date finally revealed in new trailer CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 4 is one of the most highly anticipated anime releases of 2024, and a new trailer has confirmed the premiere date. In terms of anime franchises, they don’t get much bigger right now than Demon Slayer. Between box office records and the enthralling ongoing narrative, the anime show following Tanjiro’s demon slaying quest just seems to get better and better. Right now, we’re waiting for Demon Slayer Season 4, where we’ll kick into the Hashira Training Arc. A fresh teaser tells us exactly exactly when we can see the first episode, and it’s only a couple of months away. Demon Slayer Season 4 starts in May 2024 The latest trailer for Demon Slayer Season 4 reveals that the anime series returns on May 12, 2024. Before this, all we knew was spring 2024, so thankfully there hasn’t been a delay. The footage in the trailer centers, as you might expect, on Tanjiro’s rigorous training to become Hashira rank, a particularly challenging level of demon hunter to obtain. Only a few ever manage it, so he has his work cut out for him, on top of whatever evil entities present themselves along the way. Those who saw the latest anime movie in the franchise, To The Hashira Training, will recognize more or less everything in the trailer. But that’s to be expected — this arc isn’t especially long and the compilation film was really an extended teaser to begin with that let fans see the first episode early and in cinemas. For most of the audience, this will all be brand new. Come May 12, we’ll be diving in together for real. If you can’t wait that long, we have a list of the best anime like Demon Slayer to satiate your demonic appetite.

Demon Slayer fans are loving the lack of leaks ahead of Season 4 finale CrunchyrollThe upcoming Demon Slayer Season 4 finale surprisingly hasn’t had many leaked images yet, and fans are loving it. One of the biggest releases of 2024, Demon Slayer Season 4 is set to end on June 30 with Episode 8. The finale is going to be different than the rest of this season’s episodes, with an extended runtime of 60 minutes. Needless to say, the hype for the last episode is very high. It will feature the long-anticipated face-off between Muzan Kibutsuji and Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and will set up the Infinity Castle Arc of the Demon Slayer manga. The finale will be the most important episode of Season 4. But there haven’t been any significant leaks yet, unlike the past episodes where fans got a glimpse into what was coming days before the official release date. However, contrary to popular belief, viewers are actually pleased with this. Given the importance and intensity of the episode, they want to go in blind and be surprised by the end result. “To be honest, I’m not mad, more surprises for us on Sunday,” commented one user on X/Twitter, with another jokingly replying, “And if you have trouble waiting, you could rewatch that Muzan entrance, and by the time it’s over, it’d be Sunday.” “That’s what I want,” many fans have said, with another writing: “It’s the last episode, so this is acceptable.” Demon Slayer has always had brilliant season finales, thanks to Ufotable’s flawless animation. And viewers are hopeful that it’ll be the same for Season 4. As one fan pointed out, “Something we need to keep in mind is that when it comes to the climax episode of every arc, Ufotable has always delivered. And I hope this will remain true after this week’s finale.” Catch the Demon Slayer Season 4 finale this Sunday on Crunchyroll. As per rumors, there’ll be a big announcement after the episode, possibly regarding the adaptation of the Infinity Castle Arc. For more on Demon Slayer, check out our explainers on the Hashira Training Arc, and all stages of the Hashira Training, as well as our ranking of the saddest backstories.

Demon Slayer Season 4 finale hailed as the “best animation ever” CrunchyrollDemon Slayer has wrapped up Season 4, adapting the fan-favorite Hashira Training Arc, with an incredible finale, which has been caled the “best animation ever” by fans. Demon Slayer Season 4 covers the Hashira Training arc of the manga. It also includes scenes from the light novel to stretch the episodes into eight, three of them extended lengths, while the finale includes Muzan’s interaction with Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Sensing danger, the demon slayers rush toward the Ubuyashiki mansion to aid their leader, but they arrive too late as the house burns down, killing Kagaya, his wife, and his two daughters together. The final fight begins in this episode and sets up the premise for the next arc. Demon Slayer has always been popular for its top-tier animation, but the Season 4 finale has surprised fans yet again with as incredible episode as they gush over the overall quality. The animation studio, Ufotable, shared a message of gratitude: “Thank you very much for watching Demon Slayer. We deeply appreciate the support of fans from all around the world. Your dedication and love have made this journey truly special.” One fan shares, “Best animation ever. Thank you, Ufotable.” “And I’ll say this again, which I say all the time: Greatest anime studio of all time forever grateful to you,” says another. Another fan shares, “Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 8 was one of the most electric, consistent, mind-blowing episodes I’ve ever seen. The animation was unbelievable; they were creative, the music was god-tier, and everything was just done perfectly. In my opinion, the second-best episode in the series, just wow.” Thankfully, we already know about the follow-up. Here’s everything we know about Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. Since the Spring 2024 anime season is finally over, check out the best upcoming Summer 2024 anime and the complete release schedule.

Demon Slayer Season 4 finale release date and runtime confirmed CrunchyrollJust like that, Demon Slayer Season 4 is wrapping up as we get closer to the end of the arc, and we now know when the last episode will be available, plus how long it’ll be. Since Demon Slayer Season 4 is adapting the Hashira Training Arc, it was always going to be on the shorter side. A preamble to the Infinity Castle Arc and the big battle with Muzan in the anime show, we’ve really just been enjoying the respite before everything goes wild. We now know that Episode 8 is the last episode of Demon Slayer Season 4, and it’ll arrive on Sunday, June 30. According to Fuji TV listings, where Demon Slayer airs in Japan, Episode 8 is 60 minutes long. This is actually slightly shorter than what we got in Season 3, where the finale ran to 70 minutes. There was more plot involved there, though. Muzan’s imminent arrival to interrupt the training is the main event this time around, teeing up Infinity Castle. We can expect some sort of fight, squaring up Tanjiro and the Hashira against Muzan before credits roll, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats. Demon Slayer Season 5 is up in the air right now, because of persistent reports saying we’re getting a trilogy of anime movies instead. Nothing is confirmed yet, so we’ll see what happens. There’s a chance we get both films and more episodes, similar to Mugen Train. Given how big Demon Slayer has become, with successful compilation films throughout the franchise, Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown could easily come out twice and fans would show up for both. That’s in the future, though. For now, just revel in the fact Demon Slayer Season 4 is going out with a bang. Check out our list of the best anime like Demon Slayer for something to check out in the meantime. Or, take a look at all the best upcoming anime movies in 2024.

Demon Slayer Season 4 finally gets spectacular short trailer UfotableDemon Slayer fans have been waiting to hear anything about the much-awaited Season 4. Well, the wait is finally over, as you can witness the might of your favorite characters in the action-packed trailer of Season 4. Following the conclusion of Demon Slayer Season 3, Ufotable announced the fourth season of the anime without wasting any time. Even though we knew that the fourth season of the anime would adapt the Hashira Training Arc, every fan is still curious to witness the animation in the new trailer. The trailer that just released wasn’t the first, where following the announcement of the fourth season, they revealed a promising teaser trailer. However, that only gave us a small glimpse of the Hashira, who will play a pivotal role in the new season. Fans were obviously delighted to see the mighty Hashira in the short teaser, but still, the absence of Rengoku was felt as he was highly admired by the entire fandom. Demon Slayer Season 4 Gets short trailer and release window On December 10th, 2023, Ufotable released the first-ever trailer for Demon Slayer Season 4. The anime series has always surprised us with flamboyant animation in every season, and it looks like the upcoming season won’t be any different. The new trailer, as expected, features spectacular animation while also featuring our favorite cast, including Tanjiro. Moreover, the promotional reel was also accompanied by a special announcement for the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training. To be precise, To the Hashira Training will feature the last episode of Season 3 and the one-hour-long premiere episode of the Hashira Training Arc. It will get a theatrical release in Japan on February 2, 2024, in Japan and on February 23, 2024, in North America. Of course, everyone is delighted to see the new trailer for Demon Slayer Season 4, but the studio still hasn’t given us an exact release date for the new episodes. The season is expected to drop sometime in Spring 2024, but we’ll have to wait a little longer to get more information about the release date. You can check out our other anime coverage here.

Demon Slayer Season 4 has a free special coming ahead of premiere CrunchyrollAll arrows are pointing toward Demon Slayer Season 4 right now, and Ufotable has another surprise up its sleeve, with a new special coming for free ahead of the fresh episodes. The road to Demon Slayer Season 4 kicked off in earnest recent with the new anime movie, Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training. A compilation film, the production merges the last episode of Season 3 with the opener from Season 4, giving us just a taste of what’s coming next for Tanjiro. The feature gave us some spoilers for Season 4 and those unfamiliar with the manga a better sense of what’s coming in the Hashira Training Arc. Now, we have another bit supplementary storytelling on the way. Demon Slayer Season 4 has a free special airing on March 9 It’s been announced that a second preamble for Demon Slayer Season 4 is coming March 9 in Japan. Demon Slayer: Pillar Training Edition airs on ABEMA’s free anime channel. No further information is available beyond the above graphic. There’s a non-zero chance we get the premiere date, though, since the film is now out and many fans have had their chance to see it. To The Hashira Training has done very well, bringing in strong box office returns both in Japan and the US. Unsurprising, given Demon Slayer’s position as one of the biggest anime franchises ever. The new season is easily one of the most anticipated this year. Tanjiro finally starts working towards becoming a Hashira, something that might be the greatest test of his life so far – and that’s saying something. We don’t have any details on when Pillar Training Edition arrives on any English-speaking platforms yet, but we expect something will emerge on Crunchyroll. Likewise, we’ll keep you informed of any pertinent information revealed. In the meantime, check out our list of the best anime like Demon Slayer for some fine viewing choices to kill the time.

Demon Slayer Season 4 episodes are now streaming earlier on Crunchyroll CrunchyrollAs Demon Slayer Season 4 continues, Crunchyroll has revealed that episodes will be available earlier, starting at Episode 4. Demon Slayer is currently putting Tanjiro through his paces as part of the Hashira training, the grueling process of moving up in the Demon Slayer Corps. Most of the Hashira are involved, pushing our protagonist hard so he’s ready to face Muzan. Episodes are coming out weekly on Crunchyroll, though the service has now changed the release time. Demon Slayer Season 4, Episode 4 arrives at 8:45am PST on Sunday, June 2, 2024, and you can catch the rest of the season at that time as well. No reason is given for the alteration. The first three episodes of the season arrived at 11:45am PST, meaning we now get access three hours earlier. Perhaps the turnaround period has been shortened, or viewership was taking a hit since that meant some timezones didn’t get to see them until the evening. Whatever the case, it’s good news for people who want to see new Demon Slayer as early as they can. Season 4 is adapting the Hashira Training Arc from the Demon Slayer manga, a short storyline that’s really more of a preamble for the Infinity Castle Arc and the war against Muzan. This season is expected to be shorter than the others — around eight episodes — before we get into the epic final stretch. Original scenes, like a fight between Tanjiro and Tengen, have been added to flesh out the material and create more nuance. Plans beyond Season 4 haven’t been revealed yet. Rumors circulated some time ago that the last two arcs could be adapted into a trilogy of anime movies, but no official announcement has been made. For now, Demon Slayer’s arriving on your Crunchyroll dash just that much quicker. For more on the franchise, we have guides on Shinobu’s plan to defeat the demon who killed Kanae, and why Shinobu and Giyu aren’t involved in the Hashira training.

Demon Slayer Season 4 already has fans split on one character Koyoharu Gotouge/ufotableDemon Slayer Season 4 just made its debut and fans are already having mixed reactions over a major character, with some claiming to have their viewing experience “ruined”, while others are defending the them. Demon Slayer is known for its loveable characters. However, the franchise has a few controversial heroes, too. One with such debatable popularity is Zenitsu, who has managed to both endear and enrage the fandom at the same time. The first episode of Demon Slayer Season 4 featured the events after Season 3 and the reunion of the Kamado siblings with Zenitsu and Inosuke. While most of the reuniting scenes were funny and wholesome, Zenitsu meeting with Nezuko upset a lot of fans. Zenitsu was like his usual self in the first episode, very loud and expressive. When he met Nezuko for the first time after the events of the Swordsmith Village Arc, he got very excited and began screaming. Nezuko finally regained her ability to speak after becoming the first demon to withstand the sun. When Zenitsu heard her speak for the first time, he caught her hands and asked her if they could finally get married. While some fans found the scene in-character with Zenitsu’s usual antics and part of his charm, some were irritated with it. Many even claimed that Zenitsu “ruined” their experience of watching the highly anticipated anime. “Really annoying. I don’t know why they exaggerate so much with him,” commented a user on X after watching the first episode of Demon Slayer Season 4. Another user had a similar opinion and shared, “I couldn’t agree more. I was totally enjoying the episode till he showed up and ruined my mood. I’ve made a formal decision to fast forward every scene he is in unless it’s an actual fight scene.” While a lot of fans are evidently upset over Zenitsu’s presence in the new season, many are defending the character as well. Explaining Zenitsu’s behavior in the debut episode of Season 4, a viewer commented, “Do y’all not understand Zenitsu was a social outcast and only interacted with his master for most of his life?” “The last arc will make you change your perspective of him,” is what another fan has to say about the controversial character. This is not the first time Zenitsu has enraged Demon Slayer fans. In the past, he’s received a lot of backlash for his exaggerated reactions, loud voice, and his over-friendly attitude towards women. However, despite all this, he’s continued to be one of the most popular characters in Demon Slayers. In the first Demon Slayer popularity poll, he won the second spot, only behind Tanjio. In the second poll, he even overtook the protagonist to become the most popular character in Demon Slayer manga. The first Demon Slayer Season 4 episode is streaming on Crunchyroll. The fourth season of the anime is adapting the Hashira Training Arc of the manga. You can learn more about the characters with our articles on every living Hashira and their powers and Tanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings.

Demon Slayer Season 4 anime-only scene solidifies Tanjiro and Genya friendship CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 4 includes several anime-only scenes, one of which solidifies the friendship between Genya and Tanjiro. Demon Slayer Season 4 is getting close to its finale. The Hashira Training Arc is the shortest arc in the manga, but the anime includes scenes from the light novel to lengthen the story. The anime debuted in May and has released six episodes so far. However, the anime will have special installments, with Episode 7 being extended to 40 minutes and Episode 8 to 60 minutes. The season also had a special episode with a 60-minute runtime. The training is turning out to be more brutal than any fight they’ve been in. However, their bond is also growing stronger amid all the struggles. This is especially true for Genya and Tanjiro, who share a heartwarming conversation in Episode 6. Genya and Tanjiro meet in the first season of Demon Slayer, but their initial meeting is less than pleasant. Tanjiro almost breaks his arm, but the two never interact until Season 3. As expected, their reunion doesn’t go well, with Genya still being hostile. It isn’t until the fight begins that the two of them actually get along. Their friendship further develops when Tanjiro saves him from Sanemi. In the recent episode, the duo discusses demon slayer marks. However, the anime adds some adorable interactions between the pair, and it shows how far the two of them have progressed over this time. Hashira Training is the only arc featuring the characters’ interaction before the tragic and brutal final war. Check out the release schedule of Demon Slayer Season 4 so you won’t miss out on an episode. If you want to know more about the characters, check out the powers of every living Hashira and our list of saddest Demon Slayer backstories.

Demon Slayer Season 4 Blu-ray reveals “insane” production detail fans can’t believe CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 4 is finished, so the home media releases are starting, and a titbit from the first part is blowing people’s minds. Although it was only eight episodes, Demon Slayer Season 4 was definitely short and sweet. Covering the Hashira Training Arc, this was the last reprieve before the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan go to war. We only saw the finale last weekend, and the first Blu-ray comes out in Japan this week. A booklet for the disc has revealed Ufotable’s timeline for production, and it turns out they’re way ahead of the curve. According to the insert, the studio had the first storyboards in April 2022, followed by a recording session in June 2022. That means Ufotable is working two years ahead of when episodes come out. This is a little mind-blowing, because even the best anime usually work to extremely tight schedules. The animators and creatives are often down to the wire getting something fit for screens. Getting such a a run-in on the season has only made Ufotable seem even greater in the eyes of fans. “Ufotable once again proving why they are the leader of that industry,” one fan replies. “Ufotable’s got a pro schedule setup. No wonder their work’s always amazing,” another adds. It’s worth noting Demon Slayer has been a phenomenon from the jump, since Mugen Train is now the highest-grossing movie ever in Japan, allowing Ufotable the space and financial security to plan like this. “That’s crazy lead time, but likely only possible because they know that Demon Slayer will continue to be successful, so they can greenlight a new season long before the previous season has even aired,” a fan states. This has everyone wondering where production is on Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, the movie trilogy that’s capping off the franchise. Some now believe Ufotable is probably deeper into those films than we think, so we mightn’t be waiting all that long to see them. Make sure to check out our guides on Tower of God Season 2, Oshi no Ko Season 2, and Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest for ways to distract yourself in the meantime.

Demon Slayer Season 4 just crossed a massive box office milestone Demon Slayer Season 4 has premiered in Japan, and unsurprisingly, the new episodes have already started garnering a massive reception. Demon Slayer is no stranger to setting records. After all, the franchise spawned what is still the highest-grossing movie in Japan, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train. The anime film managed to make ¥40,430,000,000 in Japan, grossing over $500 million worldwide. It’s no surprise, then, that the premiere of Demon Slayer’s fourth season, known as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba -To the Hashira Training-, crossed a Japanese box office milestone in short order. Demon Slayer Season 4 tops Japenese box office The Demon Slayer Season 4 premiere made over ¥1 billion in just over one week in Japanese theatres. The feature, a combination of the Season 3 finale and Season 4 opening, opened in screens there on February 2. Though a far cry from the success of Mugen Train, that’s still an impressive taking for a makeshift theatrical rollout. Mugen Train got the full cinematic rollout, whereas this is really for fans who absolutely cannot wait to see Demon Slayer on the small screen. You can see that reflected in how this film ranks in the Japanese box office overall. It’s in second place to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM, which is setting records of its own by becoming the highest-grossing movie in the Gundam franchise. They’re joined by another big screen venture for an ongoing show, in Spy × Family Code: White. After opening in December, the film continues to hold steady in the Japanese top ten at sixth place. As much bodes well for the international release, due to arrive on April 19, 2024. That said, Hashira Training is getting more showings in Japan, and the international release is coming soon as well. Fans in Britain and North America can see the picture in cinemas on February 23.

For starters, the season acts like a prologue to the following Final Battle Arc where the demon slayers will finally face Muzan and the rest of the Upper Moons. The season will also reveal Giyu Tomioka’s past as well as give viewers a brief glimpse into what Gyomei Himejima, the current strongest demon slayer, is capable of. Tengen Uzui and Rengoku’s father Shinjuro will also join the current Hashira to train the demon slayers. However, Tanjiro and Nezuko will have to spend this season apart. While Tanjiro will be busy training under the Hashira, Nezuko will spend her time with Urokodaki after gaining immunity to the sunlight and taking Tamayo’s medicine. So, throughout the rumored eight Demon Slayer episodes, viewers won’t get a Kamado siblings reunion just yet. With the Demon Slayer Season 4 episode schedule now memorized, there’s no missing any episode of the season. For more, check out Tanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings or how old Nezuko is or maybe even how Muzan became a demon.

Demon Slayer Season 3 finale explained CrunchyrollThe latest season of Demon Slayer has been nothing short of a roller coaster of emotions. The series finally ends its “Swordsmith Village Arc” on a happy note. Here’s what happens in Demon Slayer Season 3 finale. Demon Slayer Season 3 is a recent franchise addition and quickly garnered public attention after the massive success of its prequel seasons and movie. The Swordsmith Village Arc features the fight against two Upper Ranks in the isolated village of swordsmiths. Instead of Zenitsu and Inosuke, Season 3 features Genya Shinazugawa, Muichiro Tokito, and Mitsuri Kanroji as Tanjiro’s allies. After a long time, Demon Slayer features a “happy” ending where the heroes win against the demons without any tragedy. Not to mention all the backstories were the highlight of the season. The finale was rumoured to be 70 minutes long, but it turned out to be a little over 50 minutes, which still gives the animators enough time to properly cover the manga and add some flashbacks. Delve deeper to find out more about the Demon Slayer Season 3 finale. A brief summary of Demon Slayer Season 3 finale The finale reveals the final form of Upper Moon Four, “Urami.” It is the manifestation of resentment and is capable of using the Blood Demon Art of all clones. As Tanjiro finds himself at a disadvantage, Genya and Nezuko come to his rescue. Tanjiro and Nezuko fall off the cliff with Urami and try to finish him. However, things take a turn for the worse when dawn breaks, and Nezuko is almost burned into ash. While Tanjiro tries to protect her from sunlight, ignoring the demon that is going after the swordsmith, Nezuko pushes him away. Realizing his duty is to slay the demon and protect the people, Tanjiro runs after Urami and gains a new ability before severing his head. In the meantime, he sees Nezuko standing under the sun without her bamboo muzzle. Not only that, but she is also able to speak incoherently. Meanwhile, Mitsuri, who is barely able to hold her own against Zohakuten, finally relaxes when he is destroyed along with the main body. All the demon slayers and Nezuko reunite happily after successfully defeating two Upper Ranks – a feat that hasn’t been accomplished in over a hundred years. On the other hand, Demon Slayer Season 3 finale also features Muzan’s backstory of his life as a human and how he became a demon. After realizing Nezuko’s ability, he decides to target her and conquer the sun. Nezuko is the first demon in a millennium to walk freely under the sun, which Muzan find intriguing. The episode briefly features Tamayo and Yushiro after revealing Nezuko’s unexpected ability. The episode ends with a warm farewell given by the swordsmiths as Tanjiro leaves the village. How did Tanjiro defeat Upper Moon Four Hantengu? Tanjiro may have had help from others, but defeating an Upper Rank was no easy task. After Upper Moon takes his final form, Tanjiro almost lets him slip away. However, when Nezuko pushes him hard, he charges ahead and beheads Urami. Still, that’s not enough to kill Hantengu. In a moment of desperation, Tanjiro gains X-ray vision and sees the real body hiding inside Urami’s heart. He slashes Urami’s torso and beheads Hantengu, saving everyone in the process. The ability that helped Tanjiro achieve such a feat is thanks to his Demon Slayer Mark, which gives him access to the “Transparent World.” Those with a Demon Slayer can perceive the bodies of others as if their skin is transparent. This enables them to track the flow of blood, breathing, muscular contractions and joint movements of the target they are looking at. This allows them to easily predict their target’s movements and evade their attacks. Tanjiro is able to access the Transparent World for a brief second, but that’s enough for him to locate Hantengu and kill him. Why didn’t Mitsuri kill Zohakuten? Despite awakening her mark, Mitsuri doesn’t behead Zohakuten and continues to hold him off until Tanjiro destroys the main body. Fighting against the Upper Moon Four’s most powerful for a prolonged time takes a serious toll on her body. However, Mitsuri’s job is not to kill the Upper Rank but to buy enough time for Tanjiro and the others so they can defeat the main body. Killing Zohakuten wouldn’t benefit her in any way, and there’s a chance he will multiply. Therefore, being the strongest among the demon slayers present there, Mitsuri decides to hold Zohakuten off for as long as possible. This gave enough time to Tanjiro as he was able to behead the main body with everyone’s help. How did Nezuko survive the sunlight? Perhaps the most confusing part in Demon Slayer Season 3 finale is Nezuko’s ability to stand under the sun. At first, it may look like she’s become human, but Nezuko is still a demon. She just has an ability that no other demon in history is able to possess. There are several factors that contribute to this. First, Nezuko is not a “true” demon since she’s never consumed a drop of human blood. Additionally, Tamayo has been relentlessly looking for a way to cure demons. She has a portion of Nezuko’s blood that always changes its composition, which is surprising even to her. Being able to walk under the sun is only the first step in her transition. From here on out, she will gradually transition into her human self without having a single trace of her demon side. However, this will all happen by the end of the series. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer Season 3 finale will reveal Muzan’s past CrunchyrollMuzan is the series’ primary antagonist, but the anime has not revealed anything about his past. Here’s how Demon Slayer Season 3 finale will reveal Muzan’s past as a human. Demon Slayer’s primary antagonist, Muzan Kibutsuji, is the first of his kind and the progenitor of all demons in existence. He is also the leader of the Twelve Kizuki, a group comprised of the 12 most powerful demons working directly under him. Muzan has been around for over a millennium, not once seeing the light of day. Despite that weakness, Muzan’s strength is unlike any being in the world, which is why he has been able to survive for this long. He changes several identities and often harms the families he is involved with. Not only that, he hides behind the shadows and keeps changing his appearance. Tanjiro is the first demon slayer to encounter him. Delve deeper to find out the truth about Muzan’s past that will be revealed in the finale of Demon Slayer Season 3. What will Demon Slayer Season 3 finale reveal about Muzan’s past? After Hantengu’s defeat, the series will reveal Nezuko’s ability to stand under the sun without facing the side effects. As she gets one step closer to becoming a human, Muzan changes his plan and decides to consume her instead of finding the blue spider lily. At that very moment, fans learn that Muzan was a human in the Heian Period. He was destined to die before the age of 20 due to an unknown illness. His physician worked hard to prolong his illness, but Muzan only felt his illness worsening. Consumed by rage, Muzan killed the physician before knowing how his medicine affected him. The effects showed up exactly at the moment of murder. Muzan realized he’d gained incredible physical strength. However, he instinctively knew that he would perish if he stood under the sun. What did Muzan do after transforming into a demon? Before long, he started craving human flesh and didn’t hesitate to murder people. However, he always felt humiliated by having that one weakness and desired an invincible body. He examined the physician’s medicinal formula but still couldn’t find anything. Apparently, the medicine was only in the testing stage. All Muzan found was the physician named it “blue spider lily,” which required the mysterious flower as a main ingredient. The information about where to find it or how to cultivate it died along with the physician. He was completely obsessed with finding the blue spider lily, the only known source of immortality. Along with that, his other obsession was to find a way to walk under the sun. He started creating demons, even though he didn’t want to, hoping one of them would gain this ability. A thousand years passed, and Nezuko became the only demon capable of being the sun. Muzan’s obsession with the blue spider lily ended, and he instead decided to consume Nezuko – which was supposed to be easier than finding the flower of unknown origins.

Demon Slayer Season 3 reveals the true power of Mitsuri Kanroji CrunchyrollDemon Slayer has been focusing on Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito for most of the third season. However, as the season finale approaches, fans finally learn the true power of Mitsuri Kanroji in Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 10. Season 3 of Demon Slayer features two Upper-Rank demons invading the Swordsmith Village, and they’re up against two Hashira along with Tanjiro and the others. Since the beginning of the season, the series has been hyping up Muichiro Tokito as the successor of the Sun Breathing Technique. Muichiro’s backstory and fight with Upper Moon Five Gyokko all take centre stage in the previous episodes. However, the recent Episode 10 of Demon Slayer Season 3 features Mitsuri Kanroji’s fight against Zohakuten – and it’s nothing short of amazing. Episode 9 already gives a glimpse of Mitsuri’s fight against the strongest clone of Upper Moon Four Hantengu. However, it’s not until Episode 10 that fans learn the true extent of Mitsuri’s powers as well her backstory. The fight between Mitsuri and Zohakuten in Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 10 After feeling upset over Zohakuten’s insult, Mitsuri uses her consecutive forms of Love Breathing to evade the demon’s five-headed wood dragon. This catches Zohakuten’s attention as he braces himself up for a serious fight. Because of her sword’s unique flexibility, shape, and size, Mitsuri’s attacks are always unpredictable. Zohakuten uses “Compressed Sound Waves” against Mitsuri, which is strong enough to destroy a human’s body. However, although Mitsuri does receive some damage from the attack, it’s not severe enough to leave a long-lasting effect. Zohakuten realizes her body’s physiology and muscle density are unique, even for a Hashira. After absorbing that soundwave, Mitsuri quickly gets back on her feet and awakens her demon slayer mark. This increases her physical strength, endurance, precision and power increased dramatically. It’s to the point where she is able to stand on equal grounds against Zohakuten while he is unleashing his most powerful techniques against her. The full extent of Mitsuri’s strength Although Mitsuri doesn’t directly kill Hantengu’s main body, she manages to overpower his strongest clone all on her own. She also holds him back for a very long time so the others can defeat the main body. Mitsuri manages all that without getting serious injuries, which speaks volumes of her strength. According to the Demon Slayer manga, Mitsuri is even faster than Tengen Uzui, the former Sound Hashira. She is Kyojuro Rengoku’s Tsuguko and also knows how to use Flame Breathing, one of the oldest Breathing Techniques. Love Breathing incorporates elements of Mitsuri’s superhuman flexibility and her unique whip-like sword. Using this Breathing Style, she can unleash attacks that cover a wide range of motion as well as long ranges that a normal sword would be unable to accomplish. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer Season 3 will reveal Muzan’s goal CrunchyrollMuzan is the series’ primary antagonist, but the anime has yet to reveal his true motives. Muzan has created several demons and even gives them their blood, all for one purpose. Here’s how Demon Slayer Season 3 will reveal Muzan’s goal. Demon Slayer’s primary antagonist, Muzan Kibutsuji, is the Demon King, the first of his kind and the progenitor of all demons in existence. He is also the leader of the Twelve Kizuki, a group comprised of the 12 most powerful demons working directly under him. During the Heian Era, over a millennium ago, a doctor treated Muzan’s terminal illness using an experiment that turned the latter into a demon. Muzan has created the Twelve Kizuki to achieve his goal and keeps living in the shadows. However, his true goal isn’t as cliché as destroying the entire world. Instead, it is something personal, and he doesn’t care how many people he needs to harm before achieving it. Delve deeper to find out how Demon Slayer Season 3 will reveal Muzan’s goal. Warning: This article contains major spoilers from the Demon Slayer manga. What does Demon Slayer Season 3 reveal about Muzan’s goal? Ever since he became a demon, Muzan’s goal has always been to become a “perfect being.” He wants to rid himself of all his weaknesses. However, the one thing he cannot defeat is the sun. All demons have a natural weakness to sunlight since they disintegrate when exposed to it. Despite being terribly strong, Muzan is no different. The fact that he needs to hide in the shadows hurts his pride. Muzan’s dream is to one day stand under the sun proudly and live his life freely. As for defeating the Demon Slayer Corps, he simply wants to annihilate any obstacle that stands in his way. Muzan keeps creating demons, hoping one of them might conquer the sun. In the end, his wish does come true when Nezuko stands under the sunlight. However, Muzan is unable to achieve her powers and dies in a way he fears the most. What will happen in the Swordsmith Village Arc? The “Swordsmith Village Arc” features the demon slayers’ battle with two Upper Moons. Gyokko and Hantengu attack the village with terrifying powers, which the heroes can’t get a grasp of. By the end of the battle, Hantengu gets cornered by Nezuko and decides to pull her toward the sun. However, what Tanjiro and the others couldn’t imagine was that Nezuko would not only survive the sunlight but she’s also able to speak clearly now. This is a sign of Nezuko slowly transforming back into a human. However, Muzan watches all of this play out with his powers and realises Nezuko is the only key to help him become the perfect immortal. He forsakes his search for the Blue Spider Lily, which is believed to be the only way to cure him. Instead, Muzan puts all his attention into somehow using Nezuko to fulfil her dream. This will be revealed in the final episode of Demon Slayer Season 3, where Muzan will appear in the form of a child and kill his adoptive family on a whim.

Demon Slayer: Sanemi’s brutality in Season 4 gets mixed reactions CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 4 Episode 5 has split fans over Sanemi’s brutal actions, with most of them thinking his attempt at brotherly love has gone too far. Demon Slayer Season 4 features the Hashira Training Arc, where all demon slayers go through hellish training to improve their overall skills. Episode 5 focuses on the dispute between the Shinazugawa brothers. Season 3 reveals Genya is Sanemi’s younger brother. After they split up following their family’s death, Genya tried desperately to catch up with Sanemi. Since he wasn’t strong, Genya had to eat demon flesh to become stronger. However, Sanemi got absolutely furious after finding this out. This caused a massive scene in the middle of the training. Demon Slayer fans are split over Sanemi’s actions as they argue over whether his brutality towards Genya was justified. While fans know the reason behind his actions, some of them still think it was unfair to Genya and others. After all, Sanemi, being an abusive big brother, tends to leave a negative impression. Nonetheless, it’s also true that he only wants to push Genya so hard so he’ll leave the Demon Slayer Corps, thus sparing him from the war against Muzan. One fan shared, “It is also knowing that Sanemi was wrong, older brothers, please do not follow this example.” Another fan said, “I know he loves Genya, but blinding your brother is not the right decision.” While many are against his actions, some still speak up for him. “People will call him crazy, but as someone with four siblings, I can confirm that this means we love each other,” said another. One fan also shared, “I know, right? He was too real here. But he just wants his brother to have a long life and not to die on the battlefield.” Check out the release schedule of Demon Slayer Season 4 so you won’t miss out on an episode.

Demon Slayer: 10 saddest backstories ranked CrunchyrollDemon Slayer has its fair share of heart-wrenching moments as the story sheds light on the tragic backgrounds of the characters. Here are the 10 saddest backstories among them. Demon Slayer is one of the world’s most popular dark fantasy anime shows. The story begins with Tanjiro’s entire family falling victim to a demon attack. Nezuko, his sister, is the only survivor, turned into a demon by the attacker. Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps to turn Nezuko back into a human, which is nearly impossible. The series has lovable characters, intriguing villains, action, comedy, and an incredible story. The world is full of tragedies as it features the characters trying to overcome their obstacles for the greater good. Demon Slayer lives up to its reputation of dark shonen as it features gruesome backstories. Warning: This article contains spoilers from the manga! 10. Giyu Tomioka The ongoing Demon Slayer Season 4 will reveal Giyu’s tragic past. Giyu’s sister died while protecting him from a demon, leaving him with immense guilt. Additionally, Giyu trained along with Sabito under Urokodaki. Giyu was knocked unconscious while fighting the hand demon. He wakes up to find out Sabito died while fighting the demon, which is why he never felt he was worthy of being a Hashira. He wears his half-half haori to remember the two most important people in his life. 9. Muichiro Tokito Muichiro was suffering from insomnia after what happened in his past. He regained his memory during his fight with Gyokko. He and his older twin brother, Yuichiro, only had each other when their parents died. Kagaya and his wife Amane offered to take them to the Demon Slayer Corps since they were both descendants of Michikatsu Tsugikuni (Upper One Kokushibo). However, Yuichiro refused them to protect his brother. Not long after that, another tragedy struck when the brothers fell victim to a demon attack. Yuichiro died while protecting Muichiro, while the latter lost all his memories. This is why Muichiro’s eyes always looked empty before he regained his memories. 8. Yoriichi Tsugikuni Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the Progenitor of Sun Breathing, is the strongest character in Demon Slayer, and also has one of the most tragic backstories. He was born the younger sibling of twins in a noble family and was shunned by his father for the mark on his face. Additionally, twins were considered a bad omen at that time. Yoriichi was born with special talents, which made his older twin brother Michikatsu inferior until he eventually joined Muzan and became a demon. Yoriichi was criticized by the other demon slayers, and his world fell apart. Things only became worse for him when his pregnant wife died at the hands of a demon when he wasn’t home. Despite all his strength, Yoriichi lived a life of solitude and regret. When he was around 85 years old, he met his demon brother again. Yoriichi felt pity for him and tried to fight him. However, he instantly dies from old age, leaving Kokushibo regretful of his choices. 7. Kanao Tsuyuri Kanao had to suffer through extreme poverty and abuse because of her parents. They would abuse her and her siblings and even try to drown them for the smallest mistake. She would sometimes wake up only to find out her siblings passed away during the night. Kanao stopped talking or crying and eventually lost the will to think of herself. Her parents had sold her as a slave. Luckily, she was rescued by Kanae, who raised her as her sister. However, her inability to think for herself or show her emotions stayed with her for a long time. 6. Gyomei Himejima During the Hashira Training, Gyomei tells Tanjiro about his past. He raised orphans in a temple, but one of them broke the rules and encountered a demon. That child lured the demon to the temple in hopes of saving his life and didn’t hesitate to sacrifice Gyomei and the other children. Four children died immediately as Gyomei tried to protect the others, but they ran away except one who was too young to walk. He felt that because he was blind and had a weak body, the kids didn’t trust him. They eventually ended up dying, and Gyomei somehow killed the demon to protect the remaining child. He was blamed for the deaths of those children because of a misunderstanding, but Kagaya managed to save him. Gyomei has lost faith in children since then. However, when he was at his death’s door, he realized the kids ran away because they wanted to get help for his sake. They thought he was weak so they needed to protect him. 5. Tengen Uzui Tengen was born and raised in a Shinobi Clan where lives were undervalued. The training was gruesome, and three of his siblings died before the age of 10. Meanwhile, the rest of his siblings were forced to kill each other while being blindfolded. Only Tengen and his younger brother survived the ordeal out of everyone. However, both his father and his brother believed killing innocent people was necessary for their clan to survive. Tengen abhorred this ideology and left the clan with his wives and became a demon slayer. 4. Sanemi Shinazugawa Sanemi’s deep hatred for demons stems from his past. His abusive father was killed by someone over a grudge. As the oldest child, he looked out for his mother and siblings. However, his mother gets turned into a demon and starts killing her children. Sanemi killed her to protect Genya, but the latter was already traumatized and blamed him for everything. Since then, the brothers parted ways, and Genya desperately tried to make things up with his older brother. However, Sanemi would always push him away. He started killing demons on his own until he encountered Masachika and joined the Demon Slayer Corps. Sanemi thought Genya hated him. Sadly, the brothers don’t resolve their misunderstanding until Genya takes his final breath. 3. Gyutaro Demon Slayer Season 2 featured both Tengen and Uzui’s backstories. Gyutaro was born in the Entertainment district, where he struggled every day due to his appearance. His abusive mother and bullies tormented him on a daily basis. Being unable to even get his basic necessities, he lacked hygiene and had to survive by eating vermin off the road. His sister Daki, on the other hand, was beautiful, which made his life easier. Gyutaro also deeply cared for her. However, she was burned alive by one of her suitors. Douma found the siblings and offered to transform them. Knowing he had no other option, Gyutaro didn’t hesitate to take the offer, and both siblings lived as demons for about a hundred years. 2. Obanai Iguro The only Hashira who hates demons more than Sanemi is Obanai. He was born into a family who worshipped a snake-like female demon. They would sacrifice newborn babies and family members for money or other valuables. Obanai was locked up in a cell from the day he was born since he was the first boy to be born in the family in years. The female demon was fascinated by him and planned to eat him when he was old enough. His family cut his mouth wider so he could resemble a demon. Obanai eventually ran away, and the demon killed his family out of spite. The demon would’ve also killed him if the previous Flame Hashira, Shinjuro Rengoku, hadn’t saved him in time. However, Obanai’s fear of women remained, and he could only interact with Mitsuri without being afraid. 1. Akaza Unexpectedly, Akaza’s past is more tragic than all the other backstories in Demon Slayer. Akaza’s background is revealed in the Infinity Castle Arc. Before becoming a demon, he was called Hakuji, and he committed theft so he could afford his father’s medicines. Unable to see his son branded as a criminal for his sake, Akaza’s father took his own life. He was banished from his village and eventually joined a dojo. He was engaged with the daughter of the dojo master. However, another tragedy struck when the dojo rivals poisoned the well and killed the dojo master and his fiancee. Hakuji single-handedly defeated all of them, but he couldn’t bear the pain. Muzan sought him when he learned about the incident. Drowning with sorrow, Hakuji didn’t hesitate to lose his humanity and chose to become a demon.

Demon Slayer rises back up Netflix chart as Season 4 nears halfway point CrunchyrollDemon Slayer is back, and as Season 4 trundles forth, the anime has begun doing numbers on Netflix again. Demon Slayer Season 4 is coming out weekly on Crunchyroll, and so far, fans have been enjoying the Hashira Training Arc. But Crunchyroll isn’t the only platform that provides Tanjiro’s quest to destroy Muzan. Netflix is also home to the Demon Slayer Corps, however, new episodes are added more sporadically. Instead of weekly releases, whole seasons stream there sometime after the arc is done. Alas, the rumbles around Season 4 appear to be causing some people to rewatch or catch up, as Demon Slayer is now 10th on Netflix’s chart. The first three full seasons are available, so there’s plenty to get through for anyone curious about the franchise. There might be some confusion, thanks to Netflix’s Demon Slayer listing. On the service, Demon Slayer has four seasons, but in actual fact there are three. Season 2 contains two arcs, Mugen Train and Entertainment District, and Netflix lists them as distinct seasons. It’s something that has likely caused double-takes from plenty of fans, and right now probably has people thinking they can watch the latest episodes on the platform. Sadly, not the case. Season 4 will eventually come there, but we don’t know when that’ll be, since we still don’t know exactly how many episodes are in the Hashira Training Arc. It will be shorter than the others, just like the manga. Ultimately, it’s about Tanjiro bulking up and getting the Hashira together for the Infinity Castle Arc, and the war against Muzan. There’s a chance we could see Hashira Training transition into Infinity Castle, but the sudden escalation in stakes (and high anticipation) makes that unlikely. In any case, plenty are happy with what Netflix has to offer. We’ll let you know when Season 4 becomes available there. If you want more Demon Slayer, we have guides on Tanjiro’s earrings and Shinobu’s plan to defeat the demon that killed Kanae.

Demon Slayer: Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art explained CrunchyrollNezuko is unique in Demon Slayer for her tremendous powers, despite not consuming a drop of human blood. Here’s how Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art functions in Demon Slayer. In Demon Slayer, the fight between humans and demons has been going around for centuries. Demon slayers fight using “Breathing Styles” that have many elements and forms. These techniques grant them enough physical strength to fight demons and can be passed down to others. However, unlike humans, demons’ special powers are unique to them. Furthermore, their “Blood Demon Art” are always unpredictable and extremely powerful. Therefore, this ability makes it even more difficult for demon slayers to fight against them. They’re always at a disadvantage because of their inability to regenerate as demons do. Fortunately, Nezuko is among the handful of demons who are on the human’s side. Her powers are so great that she can even put up a good fight against the Upper Moons. What is Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art in Demon Slayer? Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art is “Pyrokinesis,” which allows her to generate and manipulate special demonic flames created from her blood. It may be because of her unique nature, but her flames have a special ability, making them only harmful to demons and anything related to demons. The only reason Tengen Uzui was unharmed when Nezuko lit him up was because of this very reason. She nullified Gyutaro’s poison and saved Uzui’s life with her special ability. Nezuko’s most powerful offensive technique is “Exploding Blood,” which he used against Lower Five Rui. It was also then that Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art was awakened. Exploding Blood allows her to ignite the blood that has exited her body, turning it into crimson-pinkish flames that are harmful to demons. Nezuko’s Blood Manipulation is another special ability Though it’s unrelated to her Blood Demon Art, Nezuko’s “Blood Manipulation” is another powerful technique. In her awakened form, she has shown immense control of her blood. Nezuko can even control her severed body parts at will. When her limbs and head were severed, and she was about to be sliced up by Daki, Nezuko managed to keep them under control by rapidly congealing and hardening the blood spraying from them before the streams could break apart. She could use this to direct her limbs to seize and halt Daki’s sashes. She could subsequently reattach all of her limbs via those blood pathways, allowing her body to heal. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer isn’t the most popular anime on Crunchyroll – but it’s close CrunchyrollA list of Crunchyroll’s most popular anime has been made, and some results are surprising The list contains 300 anime titles, ranked by the number of reviews they received on the platform. As most can guess, the list is topped by some of the biggest mainstream anime including the very famous Demon Slayer. However, it is not the most sought after anime on Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll is the biggest anime streaming platform in the world. The streaming service has hundreds of anime titles and houses some of the most popular anime of all time with both subbed and dubbed versions. The list of the 300 most popular anime on Crunchyroll has some surprising rankings. Many older anime held out their popularity while some lost their spots to a few newer ones. But the top 10 titles are pretty expected with the biggest titles taking up the top spots. Demon Slayer is the second most popular anime on Crunchyroll Even though Demon Slayer is taking the world by storm and earning some great ratings and big numbers on the box office, it failed to become the most popular anime on Crunchyroll. The top position went to a shounen giant reigning the anime world for more than two decades. Yes, you guessed it. The most popular anime on Crunchyroll is One Piece, earning a very generous rating of 4.9 and getting around 41 thousands reviews on the platform. Demon Slayer did its best and came in second spot with more than 37 thousands reviews. When it comes to popularity, Demon Slayer is around 89% compared to One Piece. The third spot on the list is predictably taken by Jujutsu Kaisen with around 35,000 reviews. The other anime in top 10 include Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, Attack on Titan, Solo Leveling, My Hero Academia, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, and Naruto Shippuden respectively. Demon Slayer Season 4 is due to premiere in just May. The fourth season will adapt the Hashira Training Arc and it’ll undoubtedly boost the popularity of the anime even more. However, it’ll have tough competition with One Piece having entered the Egghead Arc and My Hero Academia returning with its seventh season this May.

2024 NBA finals hyped with epic Demon Slayer promo CrunchyrollThe teams for the 2024 finals of the NBA have been decided, and a piece of promo work transforms them into characters from Demon Slayer to build excitement for the their games. No medium does huge showdowns like the best anime can. Right now, Demon Slayer is building towards the hero Tanjiro facing demon king Muzan, a massive fight that could rival the likes of Gohan Vs Cell in Dragon Ball Z, or Asuka battling the Evas in End of Evangelion. Bleacher Report is channeling energy from the currently-ongoing Demon Slayer Season 4 for this year’s NBA finals, with some awesome art that turns star players from the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks into Tanjiro and Muzan. The result is something that induces goosebumps, even if you aren’t a basketball fan. In the foreground of the image, we have Jayson Tatum of the Celtics, his number 0 emblazoned on Tanjiro’s checkered haori. He stands, sword ready against Luka Dončić of the Mavericks, who stands on a hill as our Muzan stand-in, with several swords behind him to show the teams he’s finished along the way. It’s a striking image, and one that creates a certain dynamic in your mind. Demon Slayer fans are loving the crossover, though they don’t quite agree with the depictions. “Making Dallas Mavs the villain instead of the Boston Celtics is certainly something,” says one commenter on Reddit. “Luka as Muzan makes zero sense,” says another. “Luka is a goofy and fun guy, not like Muzan. All he does is a bit of trash talk,” explains another fan. Meanwhile, replies on X/Twitter are full of fans of both teams claiming that they’ll be getting a clean sweep this year. The advert has definitely helped stoke the rivalry a little more. The Celtics are no stranger to this position, losing in the 2022 NBA finals. The Mavericks actually won in 2011, and neither team has ever faced the other to cap off the season like this. Just like all the best anime fights, it’s been years in the making. The 2024 NBA finals, played out through a best-of-7 series, start on June 7, 2024. Check out our upcoming anime list if you’d rather see what’s going on in that realm, and we have guides to the living Hashira and the 6 stages of Hashira training to help you navigate Demon Slayer better.

Demon Slayer reigns as the most watched anime on Netflix NetflixDemon Slayer proves to be the most watched anime on Netflix, leaving behind many prominent contenders. Netflix’s viewership date of January to June 2023 reveals that viewers have watched Demon Slayer more than any other anime on the platform. The first season of the anime, in particular, has an astounding amount of viewership. Demon Slayer Season 1, titled as Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc on Netflix, has been watched a staggering 95,800,000 hours. Despite not being available on the streaming platform in many countries, Koyoharu Gotouge’s masterpiece still stands tall among the top 300 most watched anime shows on Netflix. Other seasons of Demon Slayer also have exceptional viewerships. The Swordsmith Village Arc, which is known as Demon Slayer Season 3, is 8th on the list with 40,500,000 hours watched in total. The second season, the Entertainment District Arc, is also very popular among fans and is 12th on the list. The only one left is the Demon Slayer Movie: Mugen Train Arc. The movie is one of the highest grossing anime films in the world. It retains its popularity even on streaming platforms as it ranks 28th on the most watched anime list. It’s pretty clear Demon Slayer, as a whole, is an exceptionally popular anime on Netflix. Very few anime have every one of their seasons ranking so high and having such high numbers of viewers. This makes it obvious that the upcoming Hashira Training Arc will also take the streaming platforms by storm. There are a total of 1016 releases on Netflix, with every season of an anime taken as an individual entry. Other than Demon Slayer, anime like Vinland Saga, Record of Ragnarok, Seven Deadly Sins, and Naruto also have been consistently popular on the streaming giant. With Demon Slayer Season 4 so close to release in Spring 2024, it’s high time to get yourself reacquainted with the series. You can check out our explanations on Tanjiro’s Hanafuda earrings or the strongest Demon Slayer. Maybe you’d like to know the answers of whether Demon Slayer manga is finished or how old Nezuko is.

Demon Slayer: Rengoku remains the most respected until the end CrunchyrollDemon Slayer doesn’t fall short of iconic characters, and yet Kyojuro Rengoku remains a fan-favorite character even years after his death. Demon Slayer is a popular Shonen anime and manga series that features the never-ending battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and demons. Within the Corps, the Hashira is the highest rank as it distinguishes them as the most powerful swordsmen. They can fight against members of the Twelve Kizuki, a group of demons hand-picked by Muzan. As a Hashira, Rengoku fights valiantly in the “Infinity Train Arc” and protects more than 200 passengers as well Tanjiro’s group. However, he loses his life in his fight with Akaza, giving Tanjiro and his friends much-needed inspiration. Rengoku is considered victorious despite his death since he accomplished his initial goal. Even after his death, he appears in flashbacks and silhouettes whenever Tanjiro or anyone else is in danger. Here’s how Rengoku remains the most respectable Hashira till the very end of the series. Kyojuro Rengoku impacts Demon Slayer in a way no one else did Despite his father’s disapproval, Rengoku is one of the strongest characters in the series. He fights against Akaza, who no one was able to defeat till the end. Akaza only lost his life after regaining his memories as a human and self-destructing since the despair was too much for him to handle. In most of its arcs, Demon Slayer highlights several Hashira, with Giyu first followed by Shinobu. Then, after the introduction of all the Hashira, Rengoku takes center stage in the Demon Slayer movie. The following seasons feature Tengen Uzui and then Kanjroji Mitsuri and Tokito Muichiro. The manga covers even more scenes with all the Hashira and their heroic battle against Muzan and the Upper Moons. In the end, Giyu and Sanemi are the only survivors, with Uzui leaving because of his retirement. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that all nine Hashira are fan-favorite characters as fans learn more about their past. However, no one could impact the story as much as Rengoku did. His fight against Akaza showed fans just what the demon slayers are up against. Furthermore, his final words inspired Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke to further develop their skills. Additionally, Rengoku gave the first hint about Sun Breathing Technique during his final moments. The series features countless deaths after this one, but Rengoku’s demise remains the most impactful as well as the most tragic of all. In 2021, a popular Demon Slayer fan book revealed what the Hashira thought of each other. Rengoku is the only character who praised all his fellow Hashira and was also praised by them. No one had anything bad to say about him, even Sanemi, a character with such a short temper. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer fans have chosen the most badass lines in the franchise — and they’re brutal CrunchyrollDemon Slayer has a penchant for strong one-liners. Given that it focuses on a secret war between humans and demons, there are plenty of killer barbs thrown around between either side. This is more true of the manga than the anime show, since the former is re-contextualized for the latter. But Tanjiro’s ongoing journey to rid the world of demons has yielded many strong quotes throughout the franchise so far. Some of these emanate from Demon Slayer’s protagonist himself, others are from the supporting cast, some of whom are truly psychopathic in nature. All part of what’s made the road to Demon Slayer Season 4 so entertaining. As we head into the Hashira Training Arc, some fans have been reminiscing about not just their favorite quotes, but the “hardest” lines. In other words, the most badass and spine-chilling bits of dialogue, and some are goosebump-inducing. Demon Slayer fans choose the “hardest lines” from the franchise A Reddit thread has been listing hardcore lines from across Demon Slayer, highlighting points that made us realize something was about to go down. The first is an obvious choice: Tanjiro saying, “Nah I’d win” to Kenjaku when asked if he expects to lose. But then, we get an ongoing list of other bangers. “Why were you even born?” from Kanao gets a shout out, and Giyu Tomioka pointedly stating, “I have no name to give to the like of yours” to a demon. One of Gyomei’s whole pages gets a look in, as you might expect, where he gives one of his several cutting gestures. It’s all a reminder of just how well Koyoharu Gotouge sets up characters and conflicts, and how strong an engine their universe is for awesome moments. If you’d like to check out more top class heroes and villains, we have a list of the best anime like Demon Slayer that has plenty.

Demon Slayer’s most hated character isn’t Muzan Koyoharu Gotouge/ufotableYou’d expect Demon Slayer’s most hated character to be Muzan, but fans reveal they hate Kaigaku a lot more than the demon king. Demon Slayer usually portrays its characters as flawed and humane rather than outright evil. Even certain villains get sympathetic backstories. Of course, there are some exceptions, including the main baddie, Muzan. However, the character of Kaigaku is worse in a way. That’s because he just isn’t a villain; he used to be close to two major characters before he betrayed both of them. What’s more, he’s a bottom feeder who climbed up the ranks after the defeat of three Upper Moon demons. As a child, Kaigaku was an orphan under Gyomei’s care. But when cornered by a demon, he betrayed his caretaker and the other orphans, leading to their deaths and Gyomei being falsely imprisoned for their murders. Later, he became a demon slayer and was taken in by the former Thunder Hashira Jigoro alongside Zenitsu. But lust for power drove him to become a demon. Pained and ashamed by Kaigaku’s betrayal, old man Jigoro died by seppuku. Jigoro’s death changes Zenitsu forever. In the Infinity Castle Arc, he finally comes face-to-face with Kaigaku, who’s now become the Upper Moon Six demon, following the death of Gyutaro and Daki. Their battle is a spectacle to see. “Dude tied into the tragic backstory of not one, but two core characters to the plot. No spoilers, but I’m ready to see this guy go down,” commented one user on Reddit about Kaigaku. Another joined, “F**k this guy, first he betrayed Gyomei and then how this mf treated Zenitsu.” “The beating Gyomei gave the demon in the temple should have been meant for him lmao,” added a third. A fourth wrote: “Sh*tty as a human, sh*tty as a demon.” Kaigaku will play a major role in the upcoming Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie trilogy.

This dark fantasy is the most-watched anime of 2023 Crunchyroll2023 was an incredible year for anime fans. However, this dark fantasy surpassed every other anime of the year. 2023 introduced countless amazing anime. Whether it’s sequels such as Jujutsu Kaisen or new series such as Hell’s Paradise and Zom 100, 2023 brought us a plethora of content to enthusiasts across all genres. Among all the major releases of the year, one dark fantasy stood at the top of everyone. This Aniplex production by Ufotable Studio is a story about two siblings who venture out on a quest after losing their family. The series released its third season, which was another record-breaking year for the franchise following the massively successful canon movie and the second season. Yes, the dark fantasy anime we’re talking about is Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer is the most-watched anime of 2023 According to Twiiter/X, “Kimetsu no Yaiba TV Anime – Swordsmith Village Arc was the ‘Most Watched Anime Show’ from 2023, averaging 15.4 million viewers and a 22.8 million peak. The compilation film of ‘Red Light District Arc’ averaged 10.3 million viewers and a 22.5 million peak.” Demon Slayer may be among the new-gen Shonen anime, but it has long rivaled all the classics. The fourth season of the series will air in April 2024, and it should be just as amazing. The Hashira Training Arc is the last part of the story before the Final Arc begins, which goes to show how important it is. After Muichiro and Mitsuri manifest their Demon Slayer Marks during their fight against the Upper Moons, the Ubuyashiki Family and the Corps finally find a sliver of hope. After being at a disadvantage for so long, the demon slayers have a chance of overpowering those terrifying Upper Moons if they manifest their marks. However, the criteria to manifest this power is by no means an easy task. In the upcoming season, the entire Demon Slayer Corps begins to train relentlessly under the guidance of the Hashira, thus commencing the Hashira Training Arc. The Hashiras are responsible for training their juniors as well as themselves.

Demon Slayer movie seals Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s fate CrunchyrollDemon Slayer movie has finally hit international theatres, but it doesn’t bode well for Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Here’s what will happen to him. The Demon Slayer Corps is the only organization that works to defeat the demon and protect the people. They are led by Kagaya, a man suffering from a strange illness. Despite being young himself, he considers all the members of the corps his children and mourns their sacrifices. Kagaya always regretted having a weak body, which didn’t allow him to take up a sword and fight demons. The corps has hundreds of members, and yet he remembers everyone’s names and cares for them equally regardless of their ranking. Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training is the latest addition to the movie, and it features scenes from the Hashira Training arc of the manga. While the arc mostly features the corps’ desire to become stronger, it also confirms the tragic fate awaiting Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Warning: major spoilers from the Demon Slayer movie and manga! What happens to Kagaya Ubuyashiki in the Demon Slayer movie? Defeating two Upper Moons at once is a historic moment for the Demon Slayer Corps. In the Entertainment District arc, Tengen and Tanjiro’s team slayed Upper Moon Six, the first Upper Moon to die at the hands of Demon Slayers in over 100 years. Kagaya was delighted when he learned the news and declared that this generation would defeat Muzan. And, in the Swordsmith Village arc, Mitsuri, Tokito, Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya defeated Upper Moons Four and Five. After this, only the top three Upper Moons are remaining. Hence, in the Demon Slayer movie, an emergency meeting is held to discuss the battle and the appearance of the Demon Slayer Marks in Mitsuri, Tokito, and Tanjiro. However, what’s surprising is that Kagaya isn’t the one who led the meeting; his wife Amane is. She declares that Kagaya is in no shape to move or talk, and hence, he will not be leading any meetings in the future. His condition was already worsening in the Swordsmith Village arc. However, in the movie, we see his body wrapped around in bandages with the purple mark covering him almost entirely. He is barely able to speak as he thanks his wife for everything she’s done for him. The scene isn’t in the manga, but it’s enough to confirm that Kagaya’s days are numbered. His illness is a result of the curse that befell the Ubuyashiki bloodline, a blood relative of Muzan Kibutsuji. When Muzan became a demon, the entire bloodline was cursed because of it. The sickness is a genetic disorder that left the Ubuyashiki family with weak bodies and fewer than 30 years of life. While all boys will die before reaching the age of 30, girls will also suffer the same fate if they don’t marry and change their surnames by the age of 13. Hence, they created the Demon Slayer Corps for the sole purpose of defeating the demon progenitor.

Demon Slayer movie sparks dissatisfaction among fans UfotableDemon Slayer: To The Hashira Training movie has finally hit international theatres – but some fans aren’t happy. Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training movie is the latest addition to the franchise. As the highly-anticipated anime season is still a few months away from its grand debut, the series premieres this movie in over 140 countries. As the title suggests, the movie adapts scenes from the fan-favorite Hashira Training arc. It is the last arc of the manga before the Final Battle arc begins. As the Hashira and all the demon slayers train relentlessly to defeat Muzan and the Upper Moons, the demon progenitor has set his sights on Nezuko and her ability to conquer the sun. The arc includes all the Hashira, including Tengen Uzui, who has retired from the Demon Slayer Corps. Although the worldwide premiere of the latest Demon Slayer movie has created quite a buzz, many fans expressed dissatisfaction with it. Why are Demon Slayer fans unhappy with the latest movie? For those who don’t know, despite having an almost two-hour screen time, the latest Demon Slayer movie only adapts Chapters 128, 129, the first half of 130, and the second half of 131 from the Hashira Training arc of the manga. The movie first shows the flashbacks of all the seasons and the Infinity Train arc movie before showing the entire one-hour special finale of the Swordsmith Village arc. After the recap, the rest of the screen time is dedicated to the first episode of the upcoming season. It features a few scenes that aren’t in the manga and adapts a few chapters. Instead of a post-credits scene, the movie reveals the opening theme of the anime season. Titled “Mugen,” MY FIRST STORY and HYDE have collaborated on this incredible song. Many fans had believed it would solely cover the Hashira Training arc. The two-hour screen time is enough to adapt all nine chapters from the arc. “Lmfaooo save your money if you’re planning on watching the new demon slayer movie in theaters, it’s 1 hour of recap and 40 ish min of new content,” shared one fan on Twitter/X. Another fan posted: “The new Demon Slayer movie is just an expensive recap, if you don’t mind watching the last episode of season 3 again then sure go for it.” One fan shared a note with a Joker GIF: “Shame on me for expecting the Demon Slayer movie to not be another 45-minute recap of the previous season and 30 minutes of absolutely nothing teasing the next arc.” Despite the various complaints, many fans support the franchise. The information about the recap was also shared beforehand. One user shared: “I don’t know where some people got their info from, but they clearly stated the Demon Slayer “movie” was going to recap an episode before they introduced the new arc. Y’all are complaining too much for people who refuse to simply read.”

Demon Slayer: Major anime scene debuts two Hashira’s powers UfotableThe latest Demon Slayer movie debuts two of Hashira’s powers in a scene unknown to manga fans – so here’s what you need to know. Before the highly-anticipated season arrives in April, Demon Slayer fans are treated to a special movie, To The Hashira Training. The new series will adapt the fan-favorite Hashira Training arc from the manga. The arc is featured in Chapters 128 to 136. However, because the material is lacking to make an entire anime season, the franchise will adapt scenes from the light novel. Hence, it will be an entirely new experience, even for manga fans. However, the latest Demon Slayer movie also features a couple of non-manga scenes, which are kind of important considering they debut the powers of two Hashira. Delve deeper to find out which breathing styles will be introduced in the new movie. Warning: Major spoilers ahead! Which Hashira’s powers are introduced in the new Demon Slayer movie? The anime scene from the Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training movie introduces Sanemi’s and Obanai’s powers. After a brief flashback from every season and Mugen Train movie, we see the entire finale of the Swordsmith Village arc. Then, the movie features a scene where Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro are on a mission together. They invade an abandoned castle to save a woman. The castle had been forgotten after constant restorations and hence became a den of demons. Accompanied by some lower-rank demons, the two Hashira enter the castle, where they meet countless demons. The series shows their powers for the first time. Sanemi first uses Wind Breathing Second Form, Claws-Purifying Wind, followed by Obanai’s Serpent Breathing Fifth Form, Slithering Serpent. The duo then separate as Obanai plans to kill the demons while Sanemi has to save the woman. Obanai uses the Third Form, Coil Choke, while in the next moment, Sanemi introduces his Fourth Form, Rising Dust Storm. They successfully save the woman. However, the strangest part was that the abandoned castle instantly transformed into the Infinity Castle before disappearing into thin air. The manga, however, introduces Sanemi’s powers in Chapter 136. In a sparring match against Giyuu, Sanemi uses Wind Breathing First Form, Dust Whirlwind Cutter. On the other hand, Obanai first uses his powers in Chapter 140, introducing his Fifth Form. Chapter 140 is from the Infinity Castle arc. Hence, although the Hashira Training arc in the manga doesn’t introduce Obanai’s powers, the anime makes up for it with the special scene.

Demon Slayer Mark: Abilities and curse explained CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 3 features two Hashira awakening Demon Slayer Marks and gaining tremendous strength enough to overpower the Upper Moons. However, the anime has yet to fully explore the Demon Slayer Mark’s depths. Although fans know about Tanjiro’s Demon Slayer Mark, his case is unique because his family passes down the Hinokami Kagura for generations. This Hinokami Kagura is a Sun Breathing Technique where a large, crimson burn mark identifies the users on the left side of their foreheads. However, demon slayers using other breathing techniques can also awaken their marks, though the circumstances can differ. The demon slayers are always at a major disadvantage against Upper Moons, as shown during the fights with Akaza and Gyutaro in consecutive arcs. No matter how strong they may be, they cannot compare to the instant regenerative abilities of an Upper Rank. However, the introduction of the Demon Slayer Mark gives them the much-needed boost to overpower even the strongest opponents. What is a Demon Slayer Mark? Although Demon Slayer Marks are rare now, the progenitors of the first-ever Breathing Styles all manifested markings on their bodies. This happened during the Sengoku Era, known as the Golden Age of Demon Slayers when Yoriichi Tsugikuni was in his prime. These marks are irregularities on the skin that closely resembles a birthmark or a scar that appears on the face or another visible location of the body. It’s similar to the crests of demons and unique to each Demon Slayer. Once awakened, the Mark can disappear after a period of time along with its effects. However, it can be re-activated by meeting the same conditions or through training to maintain the ‘Marked state’ to prevent it from dissipating in the first place. How does one awaken it? One can only awaken the Demon Slayer Mark can under very specific conditions and gain special abilities while enhancing the bearer’s pre-existing traits. The criteria is to survive extremely life-threatening conditions, a heart rate of over 200 beats per minute, and a body temperature of over 102 Fahrenheit. Though these conditions can prove to be fatal in most cases, the Hashira are strong enough to withstand them and go beyond their limits as swordsmen. However, the most crucial prerequisite is being in contact with an individual that possesses the mark. Without fulfilling this condition, a demon slayer cannot awaken the mark. The history of Demon Slayer Mark During the Sengoku Era, about 500 years before the current timeline of the series, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was well-known as the strongest demon slayer in existence. He is the progenitor of Breathing Styles, born with a demon slayer mark, which means he never had to go under special training to awaken it. However, upon joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Yoriichi spread the mark to all other swordsmen in the organization, enabling them to awaken their own Marks as well. His contributions to teaching the Breathing Styles and awakening the marks turned the tide for the organization as they found ways to match up a demon’s strength. However, despite how common the Mark was among the Demon Slayers during that era, most records of the Mark were lost to time. This could be because the bearers then did not think preserving the information was necessary or because the information was lost in the many times the Demon Slayer Corps was nearly annihilated. The abilities granted by the mark Firstly, the Demon Slayer Mark dramatically enhances one’s physical strength and speed. It’s to the point where Hashiras are able to overpower the lowest of the Upper Ranks. The series hints that the arm strength of the swordsmen increases by 100 times. The mark also increases the bearer’s resistance to Muzan’s demon-transforming blood, similar to Total Concentration Breathing. Furthermore, bearers of the mark can gain access to the “Transparent World.” This allows them to perceive the bodies of others as if their skin was transparent. This is how the demon slayers can track the flow of blood, breathing, muscular contractions and joint movements of their targets. This makes it easy for the bearers to predict their target’s movement and evade their attacks effortlessly. Furthermore, those capable of seeing the Transparent World can perceive it in slow-motion, increasing their reaction and movement speed. Another incredible ability granted by the Demon Slayer Mark is the bright red Nichirin Sword by clashing their blade with another Marked swordsman’s or gripping it with tremendous force. Bright red Nichirin swords have the ability to generate intense heat that hampers the regeneration of even the most powerful demons. This is how Yoriichi was able to inflict scars on Muzan that continued to burn him even after 500 years. The curse of the Demon Slayer Mark The series never clearly explains the curse that led the bearers to die before reaching the age of 25. Due to being afraid of the curse, Kokushibo agreed to become a demon. During Yoriichi’s era, almost all the demon slayers died at a young age. Yet, for some reason, Yoriichi lived past the age of 80. The possible explanation is that he was born with the mark instead of awakening it later on. Regardless of the curse, it is still possible to awaken the mark once a Demon Slayer reaches the age of 25, as Gyomei demonstrated by awakening it. However, Kokushibo claimed that Gyomei would die within a few hours of activating it. Although Gyomei died after the battle, it is more likely he succumbed to his injuries instead of getting affected by the curse. One possible explanation for the curse of the Demon Slayer Mark is that it takes a heavy toll on the bearer’s body because of the significant increase in physical abilities. According to Shinobu, the strain decreases lifespan since the conditions for awakening the mark are harmful to the body. Demon Slayer can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.
