How much content it will cover ? (Manga spoilers)

Honestly, I don't know anymore. If we are to believe the rumours that it's going to be 12 episodes then I guess we can also believe the rumours that they are going to be adapting additional content like the LN or maybe stories of water and flames. That's the only way this season can be named "Hashira training arc". That's how Ufotbale has been doing it since Mugen train.

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

This will be definitely the shortest arc in the series.
Judging by how this is a 1:1 adaptation so far and we tend to have double length first and last episode, I'd say it will be 5 or 6 episodes.

I heard a rumor says it will have 12 episodes and considering first episode will be an hour long
So what do you guys think how much it can cover
I personally think if this season is going to be 12 episodes long then around chapter 156 or 157 (giyu and tanjiro vs akaza) can be a good finale
What are your thoughts??

I don’t think this season will cover anything past hashira training.

My guess is they’ll most likely end the season on

Probably 5-6 episodes since they saving the final 3 hashiras for 3 movies and maybe even final movie for Muzan or perhaps a final TV season for Sunrise countdown arc.

if they cover the infinite castle arc they definitely lose Rating and viewership so they won't make that mistake.this season only about training and getting hashira characters close to newcomers and tanjiro and others ..most important moment for me is that muzan comes to meet ubayashiki. i want this to be a start point for the upcoming arcs it will increase the rating and viewership ..✌

Am I the only one thinking it will have 2/3 episodes if they're stretching some chapters and adding original scenes?😅
Dude, the arc has 9 chapters, most of the anime adapts 3 chapters per episode and we have 1 hour long 1st episode. How do you go to 5-6 episodes?😅
I'm still thinking they should air infinity castle arc right after hashira training

yeah thats what I was thinking they can't just show squad training with hashiras in this season or we will get rengoku or giyu gaiden but I think best would be cover some content from infinity castle arc

I believe the movie will consist of four chapters: 128, 129, 130, and 131, concluding with

. As we know, the anime is set to premiere in the spring season, specifically in April, May, and June. However, I don't anticipate it starting in April. Instead, I believe it will commence at the end of May and run until the end of June, resulting in a five-episode series.

The first episode, which will be an hour-long, will cover the same content as the movie, encompassing chapters 128 to 131. Episode 2 will include chapters 132 and 133, Episode 3 will cover chapters 134 and 135, Episode 4 will focus on chapters 136 and 137, and the final Episode 5 will conclude with chapters 138 and 139.

Regardless of the specific adaptation, it will definitely consist of five episodes.

This is just a guess, and honestly, I feel like I might be wrong about everything I said. lol. All I tried to do was see how ufotable adapted the anime in previous seasons and in hour-long episodes. Also, I don't think they are ever in a hurry to adapt.

@FZREMAKE There were rather serious rumors saying it would be a whole, full cour? Weird. Without adapting stuff from the LNs and without adding many anime original scenes, I can't imagine it having 12 episodes, lol.

I'd rather expect circa 8 episodes. I can see it working out well, if this arc will be animated faithfully and will cover ch. 128-139. There is a huge potential to have many scenes extended in a fancy way, but I don't want to get my hopes high when it comes to non-manga stuff. Not after seeing how content from the Fanbooks got treated in Entertainment District arc and in Swordsmith Village arc, lol.

But if there will be several nods to light novels and anime original scenes other than extended action sequences, then still, the total amount of 10 episodes seem to be the most reasonable. Even then, I feel it'd be dragging out this arc for too long if there weren't any types of scenes I mentioned earlier.

@Adnash That's the thing. The training arc alone is maximum 4 or 5 episodes considering that the first episode is longer than a normal episode. The content is way too less for it to be 12 episodes long. 2 more episodes if they want to stretch some things from the manga itself and dive a bit into the infinity castle arc.

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

i also feel the same way but we heard rumors about making into trio movies ,that's why im quite guessing aniplex and other distributors have tasted the money from befre,mugen trin arc, and swrd vlg arc , so they would go the same way first ,or than they would convert into tv anime like first season with more content or upside down maybe...... 🤔

@Naveen6662246 The rumour about 3 movies was for the infinity castle arc.
The season being adapted right now covers the Hashira training arc. It will get a movie for its first episode and then it will air in episode format.
After this arc, the infinity castle arc starts.

@FZREMAKE In reality, when they adapted the Mugen Train arc to episodes they called it Mugen Train and then called the next arc Red Pike District, so it's likely that once the Hashira Training arc was over they'll announce the infinite castle arc as part 2 of 4 season (a bit like what Jjk 2 also did with the past of Gojo and Shibuya arc)

@OroficB06 That's true but Jjk S2 was an actual S2 while mugen train and Yuukaku hen are considered two separate entries. You can call it S2 but they are still two separate entries.
Same goes for now. They are naming this arc Hashira training arc. Next season will most probably be called infinity castle arc unless they adapt it into movies.

@FZREMAKE If it really is just a season of Hashira (albeit with the original additions), it will be the worst season of Demon Slayer. I don't think they want to risk it after the disappointment of season 3, even if the ideal would have been to do 24 episodes to include the whole castle of the infinite

@OroficB06 It might be since it has almost no content apart from just watching them do some training. I don't think it's a disappointment for Ufotable or aniplex at least cause the tour movie is making millions again.
S3 again, might have been the weakest season till now, but remember that it was still the most viewed anime last year. This might feel like a weird approach but it just builds up more and more hype for the infinity castle.

6 episodes for only 9 chapters seems still kinda dragged (not as horrible as one piece levels of dragging but still), what was the point in making a season for 9 chapters, should have been an ova or something

The best thing is that you can actually expect anything at all and that's why everyone is waiting to see what will happen you should definitely wait for episode 6 to see if there is more or not and how they are gonna adapt that massive final arc.

note : final arc = infinity castle + sunrise countdown.

I watch the first episode in cinema and the opening doesn't really show the final arc, rather it indicates a cliffhanger to end the season right at the start of Infinite Castle.

@JaysonNnN Yeah, I thought so. I wasn't tracking every bit of information regarding the newest season, however, I would have heard if there had been any reliable person saying that the anime adaptation of the Pillar Training arc was planned out to be an one-cour long series, so lasting for circa 12 episodes of regular length.
