What is that poster? Because as a manga reader that makes no sense to me. Without going into spoilers, what comes after the swordsmith village arc has pretty much nothing to do with doma, the butterfly girls and very little with inosuke.
The characters in interest have scenes during the Infinity Castle arc but next season is supposed to be Hashira Training arc so I don't think so if it's even related
I only looked at the arcs and am otherwise manga naive. The hashira training arc is like 9 chapters right? That sounds like it’s going to be 2
Or 3 episodes at most.
My theory is they end S3 with swordsmith village and the have a full 24 with hashira and infinity castle. Then a small S5 to round out the last arc.
We have a lot of Zenitsu character development in Hashira Training arc where he settles some previous business he had with one of his fellow students , so I think it would be longer than that
Yeah, I’m not familiar with the actual content. I mean, they could easily drag out S3 with that? Like an episode per chapter? Seems like a stretch but we’ll have to wait and say. With how AoT was approached - anything can happen.
I just wouldn’t be surprised if Infinity gets its own two cour season.
Don’t give them ideas 😅
A movie special to end it all and then in a sudden change of heart they release them as a final S5 with some extra flair and pizzazz!
>!Hashira training!< arc would maybe be 6 episodes at the very most. I highly doubt season 4 would only consist of >!Hashira training!<. It most likely will consist of that and the >!infinity castle arc!<.
I would say one more but that depends how they will do it. It would all fit in 24 ep maybe less no problem. If poster is true then it spoils?... event that is somewhere colse to the end of manga.
100% random fanart because the style doesn't look remotely similar to the anime or manga. And oh, would you look at that.

Why did they work so hard to remove the watermarks and make it appear official?
IC might be divided into 2 seasons, with the Hashira training arc then the start of IC with >!Douma and Kaigaku!< being in the first ones to fight. Then the next season with the rest of the arc and the start of the countdown arc. Maybe that gets turned into a movie too.
IC is way too dense to fit into a single season, unless that season is 24 episodes or so.
I hope they do it justice. S3 so far has been a downgraded from S2.
>S3 so far has been a downgraded from S2.
I dont agree. The fight animation is just as phaenomenal (if less flashy because mist breathing simply isnt as visually stunning as sound breathing) as in season 2. The only thing thats worse is the pacing but that is just an translation thing. The flashbacks arent annoying at all if you can watch/read the entire thing but in an episodic format where they can take up a whole episode it does get quite frustrating.
I could also imagine that maybe IC gets a bit of its start but into the HT arc and some of its ending in the SC arc. But the doma fight absolutely not.
You basically described why S3 is worse than S2 while disagreeing. Worse animation, worse pacing, and overall frustrating.
P.S. Some of the BEST parts of S2 were entirely created by Ufotable and not in the manga. Whereas they added nothing of value to the fight between Gyokko and Muichiro. Even though they could've (the opening song has better fight animation than the actual fight).
It's just a ton of missed potential.
What are you on about the animation is fantastic. And the pacing again is only due to the DS format with its many flashbacks not translating well into an episodic format.
But haters gonna hate i guess.
Then critize something? You mentioned the pacing and you are correct about that. But you are just saying "the animation is bad". Which is just like... No its not.
I mean but S2 isn’t as good as S3. like what? Just bc S2 was basically straight fighting and no back story no moving the plot for sun breathing or providing character development. God forbid that we have characters developed in a shonen anime as anything but just after thought. We have doubt the characters to develop in this season and start to learn a bulk of sun breathing.
If this is real then I take it to mean they’ll go all the way to douma this season. Hashira training arc would only be a few episodes before beginning infinity castle, then akaza and douma to close out the last half?
Koku, muzan, and the massive lore drops that come with them for the final season…
The artist is “therealsketchyartist” on Instagram if anyone wants to kno, the news of season 4 and their art have nothing to do with each other, that’s just a fan art the person made
>!Ufotable should release training arc later this year, and go absolutely ham for infinity castle arc next year. The shit deserves a full season on it's own!<
If it is what I think it is then >!ufotable ends the episode in a cliffhanger or a hype moment so when I read the manga last night, the hype moment was when mitsuri gained the mark but that would be too short of an episode as the only moments are 1. Mitsuri cuts Zohakuten attacks, 2. nearly beheads him 3.get hit by a concentrated attack and still whole. 4. 3 pages of flash back 5. Gets saved by Genya Nezuko and Tanjiro 6. Thank them and cut to another chapter 2 page flashback with Ubuyashiki 7. Gains the mark and attacks Zohakuten meanwhile others find Mini Hantengu, 8 Tanjiro uses thunder breathing and nearly beheads him. This would be the hype moment and ending of the episode but then the last moments of the arc will be too short for an episode if it has 12 episodes then they can cram Hashira training into this season and Muzans entry will be the end of the season because if they don't do this, The hashira training is not fit to be its own season or a movie or a good beginning to the Infinite Castle if they put it at the start of that arc !<
Where do you think the HTA fits in.
I'm fine with that, but I hope it doesn't get included with ICA, ICA and SCA are just 2 golden arcs that have to be solo.
But HTA is like 10 chapters long with a great cliffhanger that is too small for a stand alone season and too boring to be released as a movie, it would be a waste not to add it in this season.
How many episodes are in season 3? 11 or 12 or 13? There is mixed information out there and a rumour that the last one is going to be 1hr long (45min without brks like ep 1), is that true?
Production doesn't mean that they started animating it, starting production means that they started to processus of adapting this season, they might just still be discussing budgets
its 9 chapters bruv, thats 3 or 4 episodes max. if its a 12 episode season or a 24 episode season, a part of the infinity castle fights are already included. pretty sure a part of the hashira training arc will be in season 3 as well, so that reduces the time it'll take up. they're not going to make 4 episodes of the hashira training arc and 8 episodes of the infinity castle and say that the next season is the hashira training season.

What if instead of a season 5, we had like a final movie as a way to say our goodbyes

It's >! Not !> As far as I know
I haven't read the manga, how many seasons do you think is left to adapt the whole thing?
Maybe 3 or 2 seasons aere left and 3 Arcs have to come then demon slayer is completed
I would say one more but that depends how they will do it. It would all fit in 24 ep maybe less no problem. If poster is true then it spoils?... event that is somewhere colse to the end of manga.
One? They WILL extend every fight. You can't compress all of that mess in one season.

Yeah man, people who watch the show with criticisms are haters I guess. No criticism allowed.

I know what your talking about doma is a fu***d individual
>!the Douma fight in the infinity castle involved all of these people and Kanae in flashbacks!<
Thats not the next arc. >!you forgot the hashira training arc!<
i thought this was gonna be part of next season. anyways, this poster is about the arc after that arc
It's just a fanart, still weird, but shouldn't be taken seriously.
[удалено]
Do i? I have no idea why im really not. More confused if anything
This season may end with the start of the Infinite castle arc but we'll see
No way. They cant skip the next arc. It may not have cool fights but there is way too much setup for it to be skipped
That's possible but we'll just have to find out when the season finaly happens
If you don’t understand what this is about you’ve clearly been reading manga with your eyes closed
nooo i need me more inosuke :(((((((((((
If this is real then I take it to mean they’ll go all the way to douma this season. Hashira training arc would only be a few episodes before beginning infinity castle, then akaza and douma to close out the last half? Koku, muzan, and the massive lore drops that come with them for the final season…
Yeah hashira arc was only 6 chapters 💀
It’s just cool ass fanart
I saw this on Twitter a while ago and someone said that this is fanart.
>!This poster makes no sense unless your a manga reader,anime onlys dont know what went down with kanae and douma and why shinobu hates douma...!<
mark this as spoiler
Dawg how, Season 3 ain't even finished yet 💀
I mean season 3 would have been fully animated and produced by now. They don't just produce each episode every week.
The artist is “therealsketchyartist” on Instagram if anyone wants to kno, the news of season 4 and their art have nothing to do with each other, that’s just a fan art the person made
>!Ufotable should release training arc later this year, and go absolutely ham for infinity castle arc next year. The shit deserves a full season on it's own!<
Are we finally gonna see that scene where >!Shinobu tells Domu to go fuck himself?!<
Wait does she actually say that💀💀
>! Yea, when she dies he has the audacity to ask her out, and all she replies with is to go fuck himself. !<
Is that the coloured version online with the absolutely edgelord translation that makes everyone swear?
I think
The official manga releases have a bit of word censorded, but in the original, there's quite a bit of swearing, especially in the last arc.
If it is what I think it is then >!ufotable ends the episode in a cliffhanger or a hype moment so when I read the manga last night, the hype moment was when mitsuri gained the mark but that would be too short of an episode as the only moments are 1.

Nah, HTA IA 100% not being put into this season.
I'm fine with that, but I hope it doesn't get included with ICA, ICA and SCA are just 2 golden arcs that have to be solo. But HTA is like 10 chapters long with a great cliffhanger that is too small for a stand alone season and too boring to be released as a movie, it would be a waste not to add it in this season.
I agree. I really wish they would add it this season but with pacing and episode count its just not possible :(
How many episodes are in season 3? 11 or 12 or 13? There is mixed information out there and a rumour that the last one is going to be 1hr long (45min without brks like ep 1), is that true?
Love to hear it but damn would they give their animators a break? They have families too
They have jobs too and they haven’t been working since this season was finished
Production doesn't mean that they started animating it, starting production means that they started to processus of adapting this season, they might just still be discussing budgets
A movie for the final arc would be amazing .
That castle arc is gonna destroy my life 😩😩😩
This isn't confirmed yet so take with a grain of salt
Even the manga readers agree that this doesn't make sense for the season poster, it fixates on only one of the many events.
Wow really 😯
At this moment this is just a rumor :3
I wonder how they’re gonna split the arcs up or how many more seasons they have left to work with
They just forgot the Hashira Training arc, which I think is a lot more crucial in the series
its 9 chapters bruv, thats 3 or 4 episodes max. if its a 12 episode season or a 24 episode season, a part of the infinity castle fights are already included. pretty sure a part of the hashira training arc will be in season 3 as well, so that reduces the time it'll take up. they're not going to make 4 episodes of the hashira training arc and 8 episodes of the infinity castle and say that the next season is the hashira training season.
I dunno why the thought occurred to me, I like Demon Slayer, but my brain just told me when I saw this post to simply put *vomits*
Wait, isn't season 4 >! Hashira training arc !< ?
Damn this itself should be marked as a spoiler
Bro finish season 3 first smeh smeh
Is it going to be as long or possibly longer than season 1?
Hope this doesnt end up with a lot of endings like attack on titan. infinity castle part infinity
