My musings about Demon Slayer: Season 4 The Hashira Training Arc Contains very mild spoilers
Greetings everyone,
As an ardent fan, I'd been eagerly awaiting the release of Demon Slayer's fourth season, namely the Hashira Training Arc. However, my anticipation was met with a degree of disappointment that I'll discuss in this review. While I'll be touching on some plot points, rest assured there are no major spoilers ahead.
The season starts with an impressive battle sequence, setting high expectations for what's to come. Unexpectedly, this proves to be the least consequential fight until the very last episode. As the title suggests, the rest of the season primarily revolves around an extended training montage where our protagonists, led by Tanjiro, hone their battle skills for an upcoming confrontation.
The narrative leans more towards eccentric and comical overtones, somewhat overshadowing the emotional, character-driven content that has been the series' strength in preceding seasons. The episodes do have their share of emotional moments, but they lacked the impact I had come to expect from Demon Slayer.
In terms of the character development and storyline progression, the season felt a bit stagnant. There were some entertaining interactions and decent action sequences, but in my opinion, they didn't quite compensate for the overall lack of depth. Nevertheless, I found enjoyment in the series, although it felt more like an appetizer before the main course.
The focus remained largely on Tanjiro's development and his natural aptitude to uplift those around him. We also get a glimpse into Hashira's background, and some fan-favorites make a return. Nezuko is only minimally featured, Zenitsu is back with his typical annoying antics, and Inosuke appears intermittently with slightly toned-down eccentricity.
As always, Demon Slayer doesn't disappoint with its stunning artwork and visuals. The initial battle scene is particularly spectacular, and the following ones, while not as high-stakes, are well-executed. I would recommend this season, but perhaps it's worth waiting until the release of the next season or movie.
The season concludes just as what promises to be an epic battle is about to begin. If you've already watched it, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Did you find it satisfying or merely a prelude to more consequential events to come?
That concludes my brief review. To delve further would require revealing spoilers, which I aim to avoid. If you enjoyed this review, please like and subscribe for more. Until next time, peace out.
