“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” is one of the most beloved, if not the most beloved animes today. It’s gripping storyline, its characters – everything about this anime has been turning the heads of fans all over the globe.
Its third season ended during the middle of last year. For sure, it has left you hanging. But don’t worry now because a brand-new season is coming your way.
It’s confirmed, so it’s official. The “Demon Slayer” Season 4 will soon be shown on your screen! But, it’s facing a big problem? Here’s the report.
Big problem
Though “Demon Slayer” is all set to make a huge splash yet again with its Season 4 return, it’s facing a huge challenge.
The story’s Hashira Training Arc, which is the star of this season, only spans nine chapters in the manga, specifically Chapters 128 to 136. And that’s short. Actually, not just short, but is the shortest Arc in the series yet!
The fourth season of “Demon Slayer” kicks off with that Arc, possibly lasting just nine chapters. Some speculate that the pilot could cover the first two chapters already, leaving viewers wondering how else the rest of the story will run, considering only seven chapters are left for the following episodes.
Moreover, unlike other animes, “Demon Slayer” usually does not have a lot of exclusive content for its anime adaptation. That said, the fourth season may need to whip up more original stories to fill the gaps the manga has left.
Secret weapon
That is indeed a huge problem, but anime experts say it could be a “secret weapon” for “Demon Slayer.” With this shortage, the production team will be pushed to make more original content so the anime can outshine the manga, thereby offering a unique viewing experience.
For instance, this Infinity Castle Arc is opening up a guessing game if it will take center stage or just be on the sidelines.
Can ‘Demon Slayer’ turn this big problem into an opportunity?
The challenge is there, but experts are also saying “Demon Slayer Season 4” can transform this problem into an opportunity. Be excited.
The fourth season of “Demon Slayer” is set to premiere this spring. But wait, there’s more. Before Season 4, a brand-new movie will be released this February 23rd, covering episodes from the Swordsmith Village and Hashira Training Arcs.
