Kimetsu no Yaiba: Katanakaji no Sato-hen , the third season of the ambitious anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge , is currently on the air . With generally positive reviews towards Ufotable 's work and the story in general, it seems that a popular leaker decided to break the silence and reveal some information that may not come as a surprise to anyone.
This is how the popular leaker Oecuf shared an update stating that the fourth season is already in production, although obviously we are still waiting for an official confirmation, which could come when the final episode of this third season airs. " Not big news, but we can confirm that the next season is already in production ," the account wrote.
Something that is worth noting is that, although the leak does not say much, it is actually confirming that the next step of the project is once again an anime season for television , so they still do not seek to repeat adapting a complete arc in feature film form, as occurred with Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen .
Regarding the still unconfirmed fourth season, it would go on to adapt the "Training with the Pillars Arc", which covers chapters 128 to 136 of the original manga. This short arc is the prelude to the last story arc, the “Final Battle Arc”, could it be that the fourth will be the last season of the franchise?
The third season has been broadcast since April 9 in Japan, while the Crunchyroll platform is in charge of its distribution in the West. On the other hand, Koyoharu Gotouge published the original manga through Shueisha 's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine between February 2016 and May 2020, compiling the work in a total of twenty-three volumes.
General Synopsis of Kimetsu no Yaiba
Tanjirou Kamado lives with his impoverished family on a remote mountain. As his older brother, he took responsibility for supporting his family after his father's death. On a cold winter's day, he goes down to the local village to sell charcoal. At dusk, he is forced to spend the night at the home of a curious man who warns him of the existence of strange creatures that roam the night: malevolent demons that crave human flesh.
When he finally gets home, Tanjirou's worst nightmare comes true. His entire family has been brutally massacred, with the sole exception of his sister Nezuko, who has turned into a carnivorous demon. Filled with hatred and despair, Tanjirou desperately tries to stop Nezuko from attacking other people, embarking on a journey to avenge his family and find a way to turn his beloved sister back into a human.
