Not a surprising leak but Ufotable are already working on S4 of Kny. It's not official as of yet though. Only leaks from some twitter accounts (oecuf, shueishaleaks etc).

They will most probably announce it right after the last episode of Ssv arc and give us some sort of teaser key visual like they did with Ssv arc. 

After the official confirmation we might also get to know the content of the season as well. I don't know what kind of naming strategy they going to apply this time. Infinity castle arc would sound cool but they would actually have to adapt a lot of content in a season for that to happen.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

The infinity castle arc could probably fit into a season of 26 episodes, but I wonder what they’re gonna do with the hashira training arc. Assuming it would be around 5 eps, if they put it in the next season they would probably have to cut infinity castle somewhere

Good to know, thanks for sharing. I was wondering when first rumors were going to drop.

I have fingers crossed to see the next arc adapted in a movie format. It's short and it'd fit into receiving Mugen Train treatment. Way more than merging it with way longer arc that comes afterwards.

Kimetsu no Yaiba - Kanketsu Hen...

Well, assuming it's gonna adapt the entirety of manga in the next season since there is no proper stopping points between the last 3 arcs to make them different seasons. We'll probably have a longer season lile the first season.

I hope so. That'd allow ufotable to catch a breath before putting all their strength into Infinity Fortress arc anime. And, of course, we would get this arc given justice by having it adapted in a cool form, instead of just merging it with Infinity Fortress arc.

I don’t think hashira training is gonna be a movie since there are no fights in it so there’s not gonna be a lot of hype. It is a very important arc however so my guess is they’ll fit it in the next season, if not this one

Maybe they do a movie for that shorter arc then. And then proceed to have 2 cours for infinity castle. Would make sense, right?

This is what I was thinking as well. Good call

The problem is that hashira training isn’t really fit for a movie since there are no fights and it’s pretty much a build-up for the final battle. That’s why it’d be best if it was in a season, either at the end of this one (which I doubt) or the start of the next.

Ah okay, makes sense then .
I was thinking of the 1st movie that was a shorter story so fit to be a movie.

It has many cool moments that will surely satisfy people wanting to see decent animation of various fighting techniques.

About the fights itself, not to spoil anything, but it has a fight that I consider personally as one of the most underrated fights in the series, given how epic it is.

Tbh idk much about it myself but I don't think hashira training alone will be in a movie. That wouldn't make much sense. They could release a trilogy of movies and it could work that way but I don't think they will do that.

What I think would be good is if they adapted the infinity castle arc , before the muzan encounter, in the upcoming season with 20+ episodes (Hashira training will be included in this cause its short) and then they make a movie for the sunrise countdown arc to give it a proper ending in movie format. I am only looking at this possibility because it looks like ufotable will surely want to make a movie out of at least the muzan or kokishibo fight. They will surely be worth watching in cinema.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

It’s about as surprising as MHA having announced another season. It’s popular af and is Ufotable’s bread and butter, so of course there’ll be another season. Not that I’m complaining because it’s a fave of mine

78 chapters remaining, they can fit it in 26 episodes (3chap/epi)
there are more action scenes than dialogues in IC and SC arc, so it can be possible

they could add fillers to make the training arc bigger then adapt the training arc...

While I'm rooting for it to be adapted in a movie format, special episode lasting around 1 hour (excluding commercials) could be a satisfying option as well.

They will never make the pillar training by itself a movie. I don't know how anyone could think that'd actually work and not tank the series. You'd be waiting 3-4 years for the final arc to even start.

It will just be the start of season 4 or if they do movies for the last arc it'll be in part 1.

hashira training arc is a solid one volume at most of content, definitely not enough for a movie. + its got pieces in a volume with swordsmith and infinity castle arc. it's definitely going to make itself in like a 24 episode season with infinity castle arc or they might do their usual 11 episode season thats almost 13 episodes in length and do a split cour of that followed by another 11, with how demon slayer has been getting paced they'll prob put training+infinity in a 24 episoder. I'm not sure how fast they start production, but if ufotable started early for s4 like these leaks are showing its most likely due to adapting infinity castle with it, might see it as soon as late next year. they'll probably do a movie for sunrise. go out with a bang money wise and visually wise.

It's not unreasonable to think of the possibility of seeing the next arc adapted in a movie format. It's short, but it'd work as an animated movie without any problems. Remember that many action moments from this arc were presented in a very rushed way in the manga. I didn't have problems with that and I think it allowed the story to progress without unnecessary delay, butt - it gives potential to a hypothetical movie to expand upon them with extra action scenes.

Besides, about waiting... I don't mind waiting myself. It's better to wait and receive anime of even higher quality (and its quality is already high), than see new arc's premiere relatively fast only to just get okayish (by ufotable's standards) anime adaptation of it.

We will see. I'd opt for a movie, or at least a special episode (like you suggested earlier) covering the whole arc, to not treat it as if it wasn't a separate arc at all. And again, with extended scenes and faithful adaptation of dialogues, that hypothetical movie might have the total length of over 1 hour without any problems. However, not as much as Mugen Train movie, of course. That goes without question.

It doesn't matter. It's not like a volume needs to be fully dedicated to one arc, instead of just having a volume consisting of final chapters of one, and the first chapters of the following arc.

Pillar Training arc is also officially treated as a separate, 10th story arc of Kimetsu no Yaiba (Hashira Keiko-hen).

You're right there, nonetheless, it's most likely going to be incorporated into the infinity castle arc season anime wise though.

Yepp that would be ideal, but sadly I don't think they're gonna adapt it now since it's named after the swordsmith arc. Maybe they could do a special or something
