The OP title instantly reminded me of the Flame Hashira, Rengoku, who I’m dearly going to miss during the Hashira Training arc. The latest key visual for the upcoming season shows the remaining Hashira, as seen below.
With Nezuko conquering the sun and being able to speak again, the Demon Slayers are on alert as Muzan will try harder to get his hands on her powers. In the next season, fans will see Tanjiro and his companions train with the Hashira to better control their breathing and grow stronger. So, which Hashira are you most excited to see in training?
