Recently, a new trailer has been released for the fourth season of *Kimetsu no Yaiba*, which is highly anticipated to be one of the most awaited anime of 2024. According to Ufotable studio’s details, this season will focus on the “Hashira Training” arc from the manga. With the manga now complete, fans have the opportunity to speculate and predict what will happen in this anime adaptation.
Fans of *Kimetsu no Yaiba* are eagerly waiting for the next season and are buzzing with theories about who will be the main character in this season.
Will there be a main character in *Kimetsu no Yaiba* Season 4?
The central question is whether there will be a main character in *Kimetsu no Yaiba* Season 4. If this season is limited to the “Hashira Training” arc, it is unlikely that the main character will appear, as this section focuses more on the training and backgrounds of the Hashira rather than the main storyline. This means that Season 4 will not feature the protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, as a central character.
The trailer for Season 4 does not hint at the “Infinity Castle” arc, which is the following part after “Hashira Training.” Therefore, it indicates that Season 4 might be shorter and will focus solely on the training of the Hashira.
What will happen in Season 4?
The “Hashira Training” arc will feature a unique training program specifically designed for Tanjiro and the other Hashira, who possess special skills and are intended to be the successors of the Hashira. In this section, Tanjiro and other characters will undergo a rigorous training regimen, as each Hashira has their own specific requirements.
- Training strength with Tengen Uzui: Tengen, after a brief hiatus, will focus on training Tanjiro and others to enhance their strength to prepare for battles against powerful demons.
- Speed training with Muichiro Tokito: The Mist Hashira will train them on techniques and skills to increase their speed.
- Agility training with Mitsuri Kanroji: The Love Hashira will ensure that the trainees maintain agility during crucial battles.
- Skill development with Obanai Iguro: The Serpent Hashira will enhance the combat techniques of the trainees.
- Overcoming limitations with Sanemi Shinazugawa: The Wind Hashira will concentrate on implementing powerful offensive strategies while maintaining their strength and mindset.
- Strengthening endurance with Gyomei Himejima: The Stone Hashira will focus on improving the endurance of the trainees to maximize their combat efficiency.
Conclusion
Season 4 is expected to provide a deep insight into the training process of the Hashira, offering fans a unique perspective on the preparation of these characters for future challenges.
After completing the Hashira training segment, the series will transition to the final part of the *Kimetsu no Yaiba* manga, featuring the climactic battles between the Hashira and the Upper Moons. As of now, the adaptation of these concluding chapters has yet to be confirmed. It remains unclear whether it will be released as “Season 4 – Part 2” or as “Season 5.”
