A Three-Way Battle Between Muichirō, Sanemi, and Obanai! The Anime-Original Developments in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc" Were Absolutely Intense

Anime-original developments are also popular in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba." In Episode 4 of the "Hashira Training Arc," the secret special training of three Hashira—Muichirō Tokitō (voiced by Kengo Kawanishi), Sanemi Shinazugawa (voiced by Tomokazu Seki), and Obanai Iguro (voiced by Kenichi Suzumura)—was depicted, and viewers praised it as "simply divine."

In Episode 4, as Snake Hashira Obanai and Wind Hashira Sanemi were training, Mist Hashira Muichirō joined them, saying, "Let me join you, too." This led to a two-on-one dynamic of Obanai & Sanemi versus Muichirō. However, Muichirō fearlessly faced them, fiercely exchanging slashes.

Viewers couldn't take their eyes off this anime-original battle between the Hashira, commenting that it was "simply divine," that the "anime-original scenes where the Hashira challenge each other are also great," that "the effects are so amazing it's hard to follow with your eyes," and that "there's so much original content packed in."
