Okay, let's be real. We're all thinking it. When. Is. The. Next. Demon Slayer. Arc. Coming?
Seriously, My Patience Is Wearing Thin!
I mean, come on! We've seen the Swordsmith Village. We battled Upper Moon Four and Five. Now what? My Tanjiro-shaped hole in my heart needs filling!
The wait feels like an eternity. Are they torturing us on purpose? Probably.
A Brief History of Demon-Slaying Delays (Or My Conspiracy Theory)
Think back. Remember the agonizing wait between seasons? Each one feels longer than the last. Is it just me, or are they dragging this out for maximum drama?
I'm starting to suspect the animation studio, Ufotable, is secretly run by demons. They're feeding off our anticipation!
Okay, okay, maybe that's a *bit* dramatic. But you feel me, right?
The "Unpopular" Opinion No One Wants to Hear
Here's where things get spicy. Brace yourselves. I think… I think maybe… they're *overhyping* some of these arcs.
Don't get me wrong, the animation is gorgeous. Muzan is terrifying. But some battles feel… stretched?
I said what I said!
Fight me! (Not really. Please don't actually fight me.)
What We *Think* We Know (Based on Internet Rumors and Copium)
So, what's the deal? Whispers abound of the Hashira Training Arc being next. It's been mentioned. It's in the manga. It makes sense!
But will it be a full season? A movie? A three-episode mini-series dropped at 3 AM on a Tuesday? The possibilities are endless and equally terrifying.
My sources (aka, Reddit and Twitter) are saying *soon*. But "soon" in anime time could mean anything from next week to the heat death of the universe.
My Demands (Humbly Submitted, Of Course)
Dear Ufotable, if you're reading this (and I know you are), please consider the following:
- Less lingering shots of characters dramatically breathing. (I get it, lungs are important!)
- More Zenitsu screaming. (Okay, maybe just a *little* more.)
- An official release date. (I'm begging you!)
Is that too much to ask?
In the Meantime... Coping Mechanisms
Until then, what are we supposed to do? Rewatch the existing episodes for the 50th time? Read the manga until our eyes bleed?
Maybe. Or maybe we can find a new anime to obsess over. (But let's be honest, nothing will truly fill the Demon Slayer void.)
So, when is the next arc coming? Your guess is as good as mine. Let's just hope it's sooner rather than later. And let's pray it's worth the wait!
