Crunchyroll, the streaming platform that has been delivering the previous arcs to eager fans, continues to be the go-to source for the series.
The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the Taisho Period in Japan, following the poignant journey of Tanjiro, a compassionate charcoal seller, whose life takes a tragic turn when his family falls victim to a demon attack. To compound the heartbreak, his sister Nezuko, the lone survivor, undergoes a demonic transformation.
Undeterred by this grim reality, Tanjiro embarks on a resolute path to become a “demon slayer.” His mission: is to restore his sister to humanity and exact vengeance upon the demon responsible for the massacre.
As the Demon Slayer saga continues to enthrall audiences worldwide, the Hashira Training Arc promises to deliver an immersive experience filled with action, emotion, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
