Demon Slayeris coming up with one announcement after another. First, it was the season 4 declaration, then there was an upcoming movie, and now they announced that the first episode of season 4 will be an hour long. Even though the anime is trying to make the upcoming arc more circulated among the fans, it seemingly is having the opposite effect on them.

Demon Slayer - Hashira Training Arc

Demon Slayer movie: The Roar of Victoryhas become an epicenter of controversy, with it being almost one hour forty-four minutes long. The movie will be a mixture of the Swordsmith Village arc and the Hashira Training arc. Now they announced episode one will be an hour long. The fans believe it to be milking the cow too much since the Hashira Training arc is not so lengthy.

The Hashira Training arc is one of the shortest arcs inDemon Slayer. The movie could feature the entire arc if there was no recap. On top of that, the first episode is also an hour long, which is like purposely making the season lengthy. The Hashira Training arc will have a proper season, and the fans feel that it is being milked too much.

The Hashira Training arc only features Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke’s training under the Hashira, and there will be no major antagonist in this arc. Even though it is only anime scenes, there is a limit to how much filler or flashbacks will be shown. TheDemon Slayerfandom is skeptical of the upcoming season’s success and could take a massive hit on its popularity.

Fans Are Not Happy WithDemon SlayerSeason 4

Demon Slayeris one of the few with almost no fillers. But season 4 is likely to be the one that breaks that record. It is being stretched too much. After the announcement, the fans were quick to address their disappointment on social media. The anime has garnered millions of fans after premiering in 2019.

Each season has a different number of episodes showing that the anime is flexible with its arc. The Mugen Train arc was entirely adapted into a movie. According to the fans, doing the same thing with the Hashira Training arc would have been a better choice. The length of the arc could be a major deal breaker for the fans. With the final battle nearing, the fans would be more focused on the actual story instead of recaps.
