Expected Plot
As Nezuko's immunity to sunlight is exposed, demon assaults cease. However, the Demon Slayer Corps can tell that there lies a looming threat from Muzan Kibutsuji, who plans to kidnap Nezuko for his mysterious plan. This has prompted rigorous training for all members of the Demon Slayer Corps, including the Hashira. In this period of tranquility and peace that sits before impending chaos, Kamado Tanjiro seizes the opportunity to develop his skills and deepen his understanding of the organization's most formidable Demon Slayers.
We will see familiar faces in Season 4 of Kimetsu no Yaiba, like Uzui Tengen the fallen Sound Hashira, Tokito Muichiro the Mist Hashira, and Kocho Shinobu the Insect Hashira, as well as get to know the rest of the Hashira better. Expect Tanjiro and Nezuko’s powers and skills to be explored in depth and for a return of Agatsuma Zenitsu and Hashibira Inosuke to the main screen with new experiences under their belts.
