Demon Slayer season 4 episode 2 is scheduled to release on Sunday, May 19, 2024, at 11:15 pm JST and will be simulcast by Crunchyroll at 10:45 am PT. Viewers living in Japan can watch the broadcast on Fuji TV, among other local television networks while Crunchyroll will broadcast it worldwide, particularly for the English-speaking audience.
The first episode covered the events of the To The Hashira Training movie, which released in February. It introduced the concept of Tanjiro Kamado and his friends Zenitsu and Inosuke going through training by the Hashira to become strong enough to challenge Muzan and his last remaining Upper Moons in one final battle.
Fans also expect a few more anime-original scenes due to how short the arc was in the manga and how the first episode already added new scenes, such as the ones showing Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro's Breathing Techniques.

Recap of the previous episode
The bulk of the first episode focused on reminding the audience of the events of the previous season while also establishing what was going to happen. Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke, at their current level, are not strong enough to challenge Muzan and the remaining Upper Moon, which is why they are going to be trained by the Hashira to become more powerful.
The episode also saw the return of a fan favorite, the former Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, who retired after the events of the Entertainment District arc in the second season, but came to help his former comrades. This arrival also led to some funny moments with his wives, which were coupled with the episode featuring the return of Inosuke and Zenitsu, who didn't play a role in the previous season.
Perhaps the most surprising moment for a lot of people who read the manga was the anime-original scene including two of the Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro, featuring their Breathing Techniques.
What to expect in Demon Slayer season 4 episode 2?
The Hashira Training arc doesn't have any significant fights in the manga since it focuses mostly on getting Tanjiro and his friends ready for the final battle against Muzan. So Demon Slayer season 4 episode 2 is likely to focus on character interactions and probably include a few anime-original scenes, such as the ones featuring Obanai and Sanemi.
