Initially I’ve heard that this short season will have 12 episodes. After some modifications, the number of episodes will be 8, but the first three were mostly fillers and not every part from the manga was presented. Anyway, I love this anime, the animation is still the best and the story is great!

It never was confirmed to be any amount of Episodes, as of now. All you saw only was leaks, guesses, or misunderstandings.

It was officially said and shown that they'll be 4 Volumes of Blu-rays, and they each are gradually getting revealed. As of now, it's confirmed that Volume 1 contains the double-length Episode 01 and Volume 2, Episodes 02 & 03. Going like that, there'll probably be 7 Episodes. As the first Volume gets released on 3rd July, it's not impossible for them to do an 8th Episode, released the 30th June. (https://kimetsu.com/anime/hashirageikohen/bddvd/?no=01)

It was never confirmed. Don't take random stuff you come across on the internet as legit info. Best we have is reliable leaker saying 8 episodes.

who really cares, each episode feels like ovas. feels like random skits from in-between chapters in the manga, yet its somehow an arc. this entire arc is pointless and could have been resolved in a single chapter, just showing them all training together 😅

Because ufotable never announces an official episode count. But they always line up the last episode with the release of the first Blu-Ray, so that’s how we know the episode count.

@OtakuKun1 bro asks for an episode count, so instead you decide to post manga spoilers of all the upcoming fight lineups 🤔 yikes.

It will be 8 episodes. Unfortunately misinformation spreads fast. They couldn’t do anymore than 8 episodes with how many chapters are in this very short arc. Not sure why MAL hasn’t updated it to what it should be, but rest assured it’s 8 episodes.

That's kinda ironic tho, as nothing has been officially confirmed (which is exactly why MAL didn't updated the county yet). So till it does, you are also potentially spreading misinformation.

Of course they could. If they were strictly following the Chapters, it would have only been 4 Episodes at the very most, probably even 3.

It wouldn’t be a season if it was 3-4 episodes 🤣 that’s why they are padding and adding filler

Confirmed, are you really sure ? What is your source then ?

Exactly. So why could they do it to go up to 8 Episodes but not more ? You are not making any sense.

They have issues with release dates, episode counts, etc. Look it up dude. MAL is not the end all be all of anime information. Well there is 8 Hashira now and it makes sense since they have been doing a Hashira per episode besides this episode.
