The Hashira arc is only eight manga chapters long, so either we're getting some sort of miniseries or that arc will be combined with the much longer arc that follows it.

A 9 chapter arc gets its own tv anime….,
Why?!?!? Better as an ova. 3 to 4 episodes tops Hope they don’t invent padding filler to make it 13 episodes |

I'm confused at the reactions here. Demon Slayer has been doing non-standard seasons ever since the first one ended. The Mugen Train Arc was only 7 episodes, with the Entertainment District clocking in at 11, and the two ran back to back unless I'm mistaken. And the Swordsmith Village arc was only 11 episodes. They've been making announcements for the next arc rather than full seasons for a while now.

If anything the of chapter 139 would be a good place to stop?
Cliffhanger wait for film |

Magen train was originally a film Entertainment district and Swordsmith village had decent length. If strictly done by arc HAshira training arc on its own seems a little pointless? Ending on chapter 139 gives a nice juicy battle and cliffhanger material |

It been a while that I read the Manga but after this we are already in the final arc, right?

Yes but like Magen train a bit of leeway would be good Swordsmith villager covered Rengoku father visit which is strictly part of Mugen train Infinity castle is a long arc as it is so I’m arguing that maybe the first part should be in this series?. 8-9 manga chapters won’t make for a very long series if split strictly by arc |

And this matters...how? I know it was a movie. I watched it when it was a movie. It was still adapted into a 7 episode series. And the total run for that season was 18 episodes of Demon Slayer, which is nowhere near the industry standard no matter which way you slice it. Now people are confused that the number of episodes for this arc will be low? |

What I’m gunning for
spoiler[ At the end of 139 doors open and all the Hashira fall in to the infinity castle ] Would make for a perfect cliffhanger intro to a finale movie |

Probably a shorter series, the advantage of that is a shorter time until new episodes.

Sure, but the Hashira Training "arc" is so short it could easily be covered in a couple of episodes, four at most if they reallllly wanted to stretch it. So either this "TV series" is a mini-series, or it will have to include at least the opening parts of the big final arc, because there's absolutely not enough to material to fill out even half of a season. |

Well, no surprise them wasting no time announcing the next season, but curious to see how they adapt it.

That's my point, though. The Mugen Train Arc was barely more than half a cour, so when they adapted it as a TV series, they also did the Entertainment District Arc. There's no reason to think that they aren't doing similar with this. Demon Slayer has been advertising by arc rather than season for a while now. I don't see how this is any different from the last season of MHA ending with the hook for the Star & Stripe arc. |
