The biggest anime series in the world is back

Anime fans are eagerly awaiting the latest season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, but when does the Hashira Training Arc come out?

The saga is based on the manga series by Koyoharu Gotoge, published under Shueisha’s Jump Comics imprint. The entire series consists of 23 volumes and to date has sold over 150 million copies.

The first instalment of the anime adaptation came in 2019 with the Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc, which was followed by the 2020 feature film Mugen Train, which made over $450million at the box office and became the highest grossing Japanese film of all time.

Since then, we have seen the release of the Mugen Train Arc, Entertainment District Arc and the Swordsmith Village Arc, all of which are currently available to stream on Crunchyroll.

While each carry faith and determination within their hearts, Tanjiro and the Hashira enter a new story.”
