Zenitsu and 3 other Demon Slayer characters who will be the highlight of season 4

1) Zenitsu Agatsuma

The image above displays Zenitsu Agatsuma, a character from the Demon Slayer series portrayed by Ufotable. In contrast to other characters in the series, Zenitsu consistently demonstrates an overwhelming terror towards demons. However, it is only when he falls unconscious that he is able to confront and defeat these malevolent beings.

In the upcoming season, it is highly anticipated that there will be a confrontation between him and Kaigaku, a former member of their training dojo who has transformed into a demon. Unfortunately, this turn of events led Jigoro to make the difficult decision of committing Seppuku in order to seek redemption.

Driven by a thirst for revenge, Zenitsu fearlessly confronts Kaigaku, launching a verbal tirade before swiftly defeating him in a one-sided battle. It is without a doubt that this electrifying fight sequence will create a buzz across the internet once it is animated.

2) Akaza

Akaza is included in this list due to the forthcoming exploration of his backstory in the Infinity Castle arc. Known for their tragic pasts, Demon Slayer characters follow a similar pattern, and Akaza is no different. Despite facing adverse circumstances, he managed to rise as a respected individual, until his master and wife fell victim to a treacherous act of poisoning.

The loss of these two significant individuals plunged him into an abyss of rage and sorrow. With Ufotable's impeccable animation and compelling storytelling, Akaza will take center stage.

3) Tanjiro

Tanjiro, as one of the main characters in Demon Slayer, already gains a significant amount of attention. Nevertheless, his clash with Akaza will push his determination and resilience to the limit.

At this point in the story, Akaza stands as the most formidable opponent Tanjiro has encountered. Recognizing the danger of facing an Upper Moon demon alone, Giyu offers his assistance in this battle. Tanjiro unleashes his mark and employs the powerful techniques of Sun Breathing, leaving both his adversary and Giyu Tomioka impressed.

4) Kagaya Ubuyashiki

Kibutsuji Muzan, one of the crucial characters in Demon Slayer, possesses a distinctive ability - clairvoyance. In a confrontation between Muzan and the leader of the Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the Demon King holds a strong aversion towards Ubuyashiki, who reciprocates the sentiment. Despite being near death, Ubuyashiki displays no fear as he confronts Muzan.

Remarkably, Ubuyashiki issues a final warning and accurately foresees Muzan’s demise at the hands of the demon hunters. He sacrifices himself as a decoy and initiates a powerful explosion, inflicting damage upon Muzan and significantly reducing his ability to regenerate. Ubuyashiki stands as an esteemed character in Demon Slayer, showcasing his unwavering determination and leaving Muzan with a glimpse of his indomitable will.

Sakonji Urokodaki and 3 others who won’t appear in Demon Slayer season 4

1) Sakonji Urokodaki

Sakonji Urokodaki, as depicted in the anime series (Image via Ufotable), is a character in Demon Slayer whose presence dwindles over time. However, his significance cannot be understated as he played a crucial role in training Tanjiro Kamado to become a skilled demon hunter. Moreover, he ensured Nezuko's safety while Tanjiro underwent rigorous training.

2) Hotaru Haganezuka

It is highly unlikely that Sakonji Urokodaki will make an appearance in the next season of the anime. The main emphasis will be on the demon hunters as they prepare for a full-scale assault on Muzan and his powerful Upper Moon demons.

This beloved character made his debut when he arrived to deliver Tanjiro his Nichirin blade. Known for his unpredictable behavior, he quickly became a fan favorite, and played a significant role in the Swordsmith Village arc. In addition to his silly demeanor, he showcased incredible determination and perseverance in the restoration of the 300-year-old blade.

3) Kotetsu

However, despite the presence of the Upper Moon demon, he remained committed to his job and displayed unwavering dedication to his craft. Regrettably, Haganezuka's role will be significantly reduced in the upcoming story arc as other characters from Demon Slayer will play a more significant part in advancing the ongoing plot.

3) Kotetsu

Introduced in the Swordsmith Village arc, Kotetsu's responsibility was to protect the Yoriichi Type Zero machine, which is utilized for Tanjiro's training. Despite his young age, he displayed a lack of innocence by openly criticizing Muichiro Tokito, the Mist Hashira.

4) Shinjuro Rengoku

: Despite being a beloved comic relief in the previous storyline, this particular child character's role is relatively minor compared to other prominent figures in Demon Slayer. Consequently, viewers shouldn't expect to encounter him in the forthcoming Infinity Castle arc.

Shinjuro Rengoku, a former Flame Hashira, has the role of being Kyojuro Rengoku's father. In their formative years, he unfortunately neglected his children, a decision that he came to regret deeply later on. The weight of his sorrow intensified as he experienced the loss of both his wife and his eldest child, pushing him to the brink of despair.

He was among the initial individuals to suggest Tanjiro's possible link to Yoriichi in the series. However, it is highly unlikely for him to appear, and even if he does, it would be very brief. Keep following for further updates on anime and manga as 2023 unfolds.
