The first episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc will premiere in Japan on Fuji TV in Spring 2024 as a one-hour special.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc is the latest Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba TV anime adaptation of the manga series of the same name by Koyoharu Gotoge. Ufotable continues to produce the series with Haruo Sotozaki in the director’s seat. Crunchyroll currently streams every arc aired in Japan and describes the anime:

It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself.

Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.
