Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is back with Part 4, reliving one of the manga's standout moments between Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro Kamado.
This season showcases the Hashira Training Arc, a pivotal plot from Koyoharu Gotoge's original series, which promises a different approach than previous seasons. With Muzan Kibutsuji's final forces emerging, Hashira and the Demon Slayer Corps are preparing for their toughest battles yet.
The Hashira training arc opens with a surprising twist in the premiere, highlighting Giyu's initial resistance to joining forces with the other Hashira for training.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's final request to Tanjiro is to convince Giyu to join in, leading to the standout scene in Episode 2 where the two engage in a heartfelt speed soba-eating contest to break the ice.
Episode 2 of the Hashira Training Arc sees Kagaya entrusting Tanjiro with the task of constantly convincing Giyuu to attend the training. After following Giyu for a few days, Tanjiro finally overcomes Giyu's emotional barrier.
Giyu expresses feelings of unworthiness as a Hashira, believing that Sabito, who spiritually trained Tanjiro in the first season, is more worthy of the title.
Demon Slayer fans can look forward to an exploration of Giyu's character and a unique training route that challenges the strength and resolve of the Demon Slayer Corps as they prepare for the final battle with the force by Muzan.
