Recently, the finale of the fourth season of the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba officially aired. According to data from Flix Patrol, the series has consistently ranked as the number one watched show on Netflix in Vietnam this past week. The work also overshadowed the series The Whirlwind, directed by Sol Kyung Gu, that premiered at the same time. The anime’s popularity has sparked discussions across social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit throughout the week.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is inspired by the manga of the same name by Koyoharu Gotouge, which has sold over 150 million copies worldwide. Since its debut in 2019, this series has captivated the hearts of audiences around the globe. The plot of Season 4 continues to follow the group of Demon Slayers as they undergo intense training with the Hashira to strengthen their abilities, facing off against formidable challenges.
The training arc has concluded, marking the opening of a new chapter that excites fans. According to the production house, the final episode will lead into a trilogy (three films) set to be released in the coming years. In 2020, the Mugen Train movie also caused a sensation in theaters, grossing over $500 million worldwide. This made it the highest-grossing anime film of all time.
According to Comic Book, the conclusion of Season 4 has gone viral globally after airing. Despite not having many grand battle scenes, this season plays a significant role in the overall story. Notably, the way the team sets up details to create impactful moments has resonated well with the anime’s fan community.
On IMDb, Episode 8 of Season 4, titled “The Hashira Unite,” has achieved an astounding average rating of 9.9/10 from over 14,000 user reviews. Currently, this is the highest-rated episode across all four seasons, surpassing the previous high of 9.7 for Episode 19 of Season 1 (where Tanjiro faced Rui) and Episode 7 of Season 2 (where Rengoku sacrificed himself).
