Grab your Nichirin Sword and practice your breathing techniques because Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is back for another season. Fans of the series got a taste of what the Demon Slayer season four would bring when they saw the To the Hashira Training special earlier this year, but now we get to see the rest of the season in its entirety. If you can’t wait to see your favorite heroes in action, here is when the next episode of Demon Slayer is out.

Demon Slayer season four focuses heavily on the Hashira and their quest to activate their own Demon Slayer marks while also preparing the lower-ranked members of the Corps for the inevitable attack from Muzan Kibutsuji. The first hour-long episode of the season was shown as part of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training special, but if you missed that, don’t worry. It kicks off the new season on May 12, 2024.

The next episode of Demon Slayer season four will air:

• Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 4 episode 3 'Fully Recovered Tanjiro Joins the Hashira Training!!' – Saturday, May 26, 2024 at 11:15 pm JST / 10:15 am EST

Season four of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is the beginning of the end of Tanjiro and Nezuko’s story. Because the manga ended several years ago, we already know where it is headed. New episodes are expected to air each Saturday in Japan and will be available on Crunchyroll shortly after. While the full length of Demon Slayer season four hasn’t been confirmed, we expect it to be 11 episodes long.
