Want a glimpse before then? Much like last year’s To the Swordsmith Village ‘movie’, Demon Slayer will release a movie titled To the Hashira Training, which combines the finale of the Swordsmith Village arc and the premiere of the Hashira Training arc into one feature-length presentation. That will screen in over 140 countries worldwide across February.

As for Demon Slayer season 4 itself, the only ‘new’ footage appears to be quick snippets of the Hashira – the elite demon-slaying force aiming to keep Muzan Kibutsuji and his Upper Ranks at bay – in action. The Sound, Insect, Mist, Love, Serpent, Wind, Stone, and Water Hashira have all been confirmed, judging by their appearance in the trailer.

For those who need a refresher, Demon Slayer season 4 will follow on from the end of the Swordsmith Village arc (chapters 98-127 of the manga) by adapting the Hashira Training arc (chapters 128-136). Given its short nature, we can perhaps expect it to be a brief season of maybe only a handful of episodes.

We won’t spoil what happens next, but it does revolve around Tanjiro undergoing training from the Hashira – including all those glimpsed in the trailer – before the anime’s probable final arc.
