Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 4: Exact release date, where to watch and more

Since its striking May 12 comeback with a new season, the Demon Slayer anime saga has slowed things down, drawing attention to its characters and their motivations. With Tanjiro entering the Hashira Training Arc, the series has already set the mood for the pivotal characters' dreaded battle with Muzan and his demonic forces. With scars from previous showdowns gradually fading away, Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu's focus is sealed on the war coming ahead.

Season 4 has also offered some anime-only moments to the fans. During the eight-episode run, more episodes are expected to expand on character dynamics. Episode 3, “A Sword From Over 300 Years Ago,” dropped on streaming platforms this past Sunday, May 26.

Crunchyroll describes the anime adaptation of Koyoharu Gotouge's manga series as:

"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."

Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 3 recap

Episode 3 revolved around a fully recovered Tanjiro putting his training shoes back on with Tengen Uzui, which introduced him to new challenges. The character-driven approach also brought along several conversations between him and the former Hashira's wives. An exclusive anime development that wasn't pulled off the manga pages saw Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro's unlikely duo crossing paths again after the first episode.

More backstories jumped to the forefront and are expected to expand throughout the season. Thus far, the anime is staying true to the title and maintaining the essence of this chapter as a “training arc,” minus other big-scale battles.
