| *pretends to be shocked* But this arc is kind of short, so chances are they may go with some unconventional episode count. |
 |
| hashira training arc only? this must be a 3 episode OVA or a full movie only |
| Hoping it's like the TV version of Mugen Train + the Entertainment District arc where they're aired as "separate entries" but still air continuously without a break in between. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| It was leaked and pretty obvious but a full season doesn't make sense for like 8 chapters (I don't remember how much they were but it was pretty small). Maybe we might get a bit into the infinity castle arc as well. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Another masterpiece incoming |
 |
| When this shit will end bro ? How many arc left ? |
ZXEAN said: 3 arcs including the hashira training arc that is only 9 chapters.When this shit will end bro ? How many arc left ? demon slayer overall is really not that long compared to the other big shonen series |

ZXEAN said: When this shit will end bro ? How many arc left ? They adapted 127 out of 205 chapters |
 |
| No surprise there. Full adaptation, afterall. |
 |
| It will be the final season? I plan to watch it from the start. |

Hello229 said: Memore said: Definitely not the final. There are roughly 70-80 chapters left to adapt overall. It's either two or three seasons more, depending on how hard they want to go on the climax fights (and knowing Ufotable, they will go very hard).It will be the final season? I plan to watch it from the start. Oh, thanks for the explanation! |

FZREMAKE said: Taking into account that Ufotable goes full Naruto and devotes 2-3 episodes to one fight?It was leaked and pretty obvious but a full season doesn't make sense for like 8 chapters (I don't remember how much they were but it was pretty small). Maybe we might get a bit into the infinity castle arc as well. |
 |
| Looking forward to seeing Shinobu. |
 |
| I hope the next arc is very good!! |
| Hard to believe that the next installment will be dedicated to the Hashira Training Arc unless they add some anime original scenes. I'm guessing they are saving the Infinity Castle arc for last to drum up more hype for the final arc. |
 |
| 2-3 more seasons left.. Can't wait! |
Hello! |
| TV adaptation, so given this arc's length in the manga, we might expect either a short, several episodes long series, or one long Special episode covering the whole arc. |
| Well I'll be watching this, I wonder if this will be turned into a movie or short amount of episodes due to how short this arc is. |
