Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc
Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc streams on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu. This eight-episode run is the calm-before-the-storm chapter of the franchise: Tanjiro trains directly under the Hashira, the Corps' elite swordsmen, as everyone braces for the coming reckoning with Muzan. It's ufotable at full power, turning even the drills and downtime into the kind of eye-melting spectacle the series is famous for.
About
With the battle at the Swordsmith Village behind them, the Demon Slayer Corps knows its final clash with Muzan Kibutsuji is close. To ready the rank-and-file for that fight, the Hashira launch an unprecedented training program, each pillar drilling the younger slayers in their own punishing specialty. Tanjiro cycles through them one by one, pushing his body past its limits while the Corps' leadership quietly prepares for what's coming. It's a quieter, character-first stretch that deepens the bond between the ordinary slayers and the strongest warriors who protect them, all before the storm finally breaks.
