Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc will encompass the difficult journey of training young demon slayers into formidable soldiers who can hold their own against daunting demons. This journey will be led by none other than the remaining Hashira members, as only they have what it takes to lead the next generation into a life of prosperity rather than a life of fear of the demons that lurk in the dark.

Nevertheless, with infighting and external elements, even the Hashira may encounter a few things beyond their control. How will they overcome their obstacles? Who will fall under the weight of it all? And, more importantly, can any of these Hashira forge a brighter future for generations to come?

If you have these questions, then you must be itching to watch every episode this season. At the time of writing, we do not yet have an official episode count for the Hashira Training Arc. But we do have our guesses!

Fans believe the Hashira Training Arc will have between six to 11 episodes

Since this arc is one of the shorter arcs, Reddit fans are expecting there to be fewer episodes than in past seasons. Some fans say six episodes, while others expect no more than 11. There are even those who believe that the Hashira Training Arc is simply the first installment of this season, as the next arc (The Infinity Castle Arc) will be the main focus. Be that as it may, there is no official answer regarding the episode count, so we can't necessarily say which guess is right or wrong.

Even so, we're assuming that since Demon Slayer did release an installment of Mugen Train Arc that was only seven episodes long, it wouldn't be too far-fetched for the anime to make the current arc shorter to prepare for the next arc. Or even break up this season into two separate arcs. Anything is possible!

Hopefully, we will get an official answer, too, as fans are dying to know whether this season will be a quick binge or not. We will be sure to update you once we know more.
