Demon Slayer is gearing up for a new movie that will focus on the Hashira Training arc from the manga. The movie is set to release on 23rd February 2024 in theaters in the United States and Canada. Demon Slayer fans have been waiting for a long time for the movie as it was announced just after the Swordsmith Village arc.
A new update about the movie has also surfaced online which states that the movie has been rated R, which means that the movie will be a little more violent and thrilling than the previous releases. The movie will feature the final episode of the season and also mark the premiere of the fourth season.
While some fans will be happy with the movie getting an R rating, others will not be so thrilled about it as the rating means kids won’t be able to watch the movie. This may come as a shock to many fans as the earlier seasons and movies(except Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village) were made available to every category of anime fans. However, the listing for the fourth season is still unclear.
Demon Slayer To the Hashira Training Gets R Rating
Demon Slayer will be released in theaters later this month, ahead of the Season 4 premiere later the following year. According to @kny_updates on X Before its premiere, the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba -To the Hashira Training– has been rated R, indicating that it may contain mature content such as strong language, extremely graphic violence, drug abuse, and nudity.
As a result, to watch the film, children under the age of 17 must have an adult guardian or parent present. The film will feature both the hour-long end episode from the anime’s third season and the hour-long opening episode from Season 4. This rating is an indication of the series’ gripping narratives and high action levels.
With this film, the anime series Demon Slayer’s Hashira Training storyline is introduced. Additionally, it will act as a bridge between the Swordsmith Village storyline and the upcoming conflict with Muzan Kibutsuji which will be one of the most interesting aspects of the entire series.
Fans Might Not Be Happy With Demon Slayer To the Hashira Training Getting an R Rating
Although the rating makes sense for the movie and probably for the upcoming series, it might not be what fans were hoping. The series is not expected to feature much more violence, battles, and thrills in the upcoming releases, but it would affect a large group of Demon Slayer fans who are under the age of 17.
The story of the film which will focus on the debut of the fourth season centers on Tanjiro Kamado, who trains hard under many hashiras especially Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima to become a Hashira, while the three Kizuki members who are still alive Akaza, Doma, and Kokushibo begin their search for Nezuko and the Ubuyashiki family.
The movie is set to release in theatres on 23 February 2024 in the US and Canada. The fourth and final season of Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc will then premiere in its entirety later this spring. However, a release date has not yet been announced.
You can watch Demon Slayer on Netflix.
