The upcoming season of Demon Slayer is ramping up as we approach the series' conclusion. It will center on the Hashira Training arc, as previewed in the official team's promotional video. Although not as action-packed, this arc is crucial as it sets the stage for the intense Infinity Castle arc, which will ignite a full-scale war between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons.
Fans who are curious about whether Zenitsu and Inosuke will make an appearance in Demon Slayer season 4 can rejoice, as both characters are confirmed to be part of the upcoming season.
Please note that this article contains spoilers from the manga chapters.

Inosuke Hashibira and Zenitsu Agatsuma's roles in Demon Slayer season 4 are expected to be minor, as the season is likely to focus on the Hashira Training arc rather than the Infinity Castle arc. Their involvement will serve as a setup for the upcoming all-out war between demon hunters and demons.
When Tanjiro awakens from his recovery at the Butterfly Mansion, he encounters Zenitsu Agatsuma for the first time. The mission at the Swordsmith Village had taken a toll on all the demon hunters, and Zenitsu greets Tanjiro with joy upon his awakening. Zenitsu is delighted to see Nezuko walking in the sun, and his playful attempts to propose to her will continue in the upcoming season.
Prepare yourselves, because Inosuke Hashibira is about to burst in with no regard for manners, shattering windows in the process. This battle-crazy powerhouse is determined to become even stronger.
In season 4 of Demon Slayer, the Hashiras are called for a meeting to talk about the Demon Slayer Mark and come up with a training regimen to potentially activate the Mark once more. Each Hashira sets up an intense training program, except for Giyu Tomioka. Zenitsu is absent for a few chapters until we witness Tanjiro advancing to Sanemi's training camp, where he endures Sanemi's relentless attacks. During this time, Zenitsu once again shows his cowardice by attempting to evade the Wind Hashira.

Inosuke Hashibira is set to make a thrilling appearance in Demon Slayer season 4 as Tanjiro undergoes training with Gyomei Himejima.
In this scene, Inosuke is depicted standing and praying while being drenched by a waterfall. It was part of Gyomei’s rigorous training regimen, and Tanjiro had to revive Inosuke after he fainted from the intense training.

Soon, Inosuke and Zenitsu take a break. Zenitsu makes a serious appearance after reading a letter delivered by his sparrow, containing grave news that will be revealed in the Infinity Castle arc of the series. His reaction and actions to this news will surely be a major highlight when it is animated, but fans will have to wait for the anime series to progress to the Infinity Castle arc.
Stay tuned for more anime and manga news as 2023 progresses.
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Demon Slayer, I am thrilled to learn about the upcoming season 4 and the roles of Zenitsu and Inosuke. While their involvement may be minor in the Hashira Training arc, I believe their presence will be crucial in setting the stage for the intense Infinity Castle arc. Zenitsu's playful attempts to propose to Nezuko and Inosuke's determination to become stronger add a touch of humor and excitement to the otherwise serious storyline.
I am particularly intrigued by the news that Zenitsu will receive a letter containing grave news. This revelation has me eagerly anticipating the Infinity Castle arc and the impact it will have on Zenitsu's character development. Overall, I am confident that season 4 of Demon Slayer will deliver an epic conclusion to the series, and I can't wait to witness the growth and contributions of Zenitsu and Inosuke in this final chapter.
