Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Reveals Key Visual And Opening Theme Revealed
With the destruction of the two upper-rank demons by Love Hashira, Mist Hashira, Genya, Tanjiro, and Nezuko, the Swordsmith Village Arc came to a happy ending, with Nezuko rising to the sunshine following her major sacrifice to save the residents and Muzan learning about Nezuko. During this scene, Nezuko gradually begins to utter a few phrases even though she hasn’t been transformed back into a human.
The Hashira training arc in Demon Slayer has only nine chapters in the manga series and probably this is why the makers decided to release this arc on the big screens. Muzan has made Nezuko his top target since discovering her ability to endure sunshine. He will soon come for her, which is why the Hashiras must prepare to meet him.
This arc will focus on Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima, a major supporting character for the rest of the series. Gyomei Himejima will be Tanjiro’s trainer, while Muzan will be searching for Nezuko to devour and absorb her strength to sustain sunlight.
For the upcoming season, a new teaser trailer has been released using the opening theme and key visual featuring MY FIRST STORYxHYDE performing the theme song, Mugen. The Broadcast will start on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at 11:15 P.M on Fuji TV Network in Japan. This will be a one-hour special episode for the first time.
