Demon Slayer season 4 will possibly adapt the Hashira Training arc
While fans are excited to know that the production of the fourth season has started, they are inquisitive to see exactly what the upcoming season will adapt.
The third season of the popular anime series, airing currently is an adaptation of the Swordsmith Village arc.

| The Infinity Castle Arc | Chapters 137 – 183 | TBA |
| The Sunrise Countdown Arc | Chapters 184 – 205 | TBA |
The fourth season of Demon Slayer will most likely adapt the Hashira Training arc, which constitutes chapters 128–136 of the original manga series.
According to animementor.com, the Hashira Training Arc is Kimetsu no Yaiba’s Tenth arc. A few days after the Swordsmith Village incident, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps organized a meeting with all of the Hahira. They talk about Nezuko and the strange marks that appeared on Mitsuri and Muichiro that day. Following that, they decided to have mark training or Hashira Training for anyone who had obtained the mark.
The Hashira Training is a one-of-a-kind training taught by the Hashira that aims to improve the capabilities and physical health of all Demon Slayers. The training is divided among the Hashira. First, Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira, performs basic stamina training. The Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, handles flexibility training, and the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, handles quick movement training.
Will Season 4 adapt the Infinity Castle arc?
Since the Hashira Training Arc covers only nine chapters, it is almost certain that the next season will at least partially adapt the Infinity Castle arc (chapters 137-183). Many fans are claiming that the series will likely split the Infinity Castle arc into two uneven parts, pairing the smaller of the two with the definitive Sunrise Countdown arc (chapters 183-205).
In addition to the relentless battles, Season 4 delves deeper into the mythology and history of the demon slayers. Long-standing mysteries will be unravelled, shedding light on the origins of the demon-slaying corps and the true nature of demons themselves. The series will explore the intricate relationships between characters, unearthing secrets that have remained hidden until now.
