Tanjiro goes to see the Stone Hashira, Himejima, who intends to prepare him for the battles to come. The training to become a Hashira—a high-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps—is intense and demanding, and earning Himejima’s approval seems impossible, but Tanjiro won’t give up! Meanwhile, the demon lord Muzan continues to search for the location of Nezuko and Ubuyashiki.
In addition to the fourth season's upcoming arc, the Demon Slayer anime is expected to cover the Final Battle Arc (Infinity Castle + Final Countdown arcs).
