Tanjiro Kamado has undergone six Hashira training sessions so far, as the Hashiras have prepared the demon slayers for Muzan Kibutsuji and his Upper-Rank demons’ attack. The battle against the demons will soon happen after the Demon King wonders what the demon slayers are plotting and what he will do next. But before that happens, the preview for Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 7, titled Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima, shows Tanjiro completing Himejima’s training.
So far, the anime’s official website has only released one still for Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 7. The preview focuses on Himejima. But though he’s known as one of the strongest Hashiras, he’s seen crying while praying this time. This isn’t surprising, as Tanjiro revealed in the previous episode’s epilogue that Himejima cried easily.
True enough, despite his intimidating appearance, Himejima is a gentle giant who’s surprisingly soft-spoken and sensitive. He easily cries over the most insignificant things and has a soft nature. He loves all living creatures, probably because of his religious upbringing. In fact, at one point, he feels so disgusted after beating up a demon that he can never forget the feeling.

What happened in Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 6?
Warning: Major spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.
Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 6 saw Tanjiro and Zenitsu Agatsuma joining Stone Hashira’s training. Inosuke Hashibira was already starting his practice with other demon slayers when Tanjiro and Zenitsu arrived, finally reuniting the three. Later, Tanjiro and Zenitsu meditated under a freezing waterfall, as Zenitsu had before them. They were then tasked to lift a heavy bundle of logs and move a huge boulder.
As Tanjiro struggled to push the over 350-foot stone, Genya Shinazugawa arrived to thank Tanjiro for his help after his brother, Sanemi Shinazugawa, almost beat him. He then advised him to move the boulder using Repetitive Motion. Though it took Tanjiro a while before he could finally master this technique, he could eventually push the boulder.
What to Expect from Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 7
Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 7 will see Tanjiro finally completing Himejima’s training. However, though his practice with the Stone Hashira is about to end, the upcoming episode will still focus on Himejima. Based on the manga, viewers will finally learn more about Himejima as he reveals his tragic past to Tanjiro. He will take this time to explain to Tanjiro why he couldn’t trust him and his sister, Nezuko, at their first meeting.
