Good news anime fans, Demon Slayer season 4 will release extra-long extended episodes for the final two weeks of its Hashira Training Arc.

The team announced the news on the official Demon Slayer website and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Twitter page shortly after episode 6 aired in Japan via a video teasing the last two episodes captioned: "Two weeks in a row of extended episodes is headed our way from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc!" See the post below. 

So, how long will the final two episodes be? Well, in Japan, episode 7 has a 40-minute time slot on Fuji TV, and episode 8, which marks the finale of the season’s Training Arc, has a 60-minute time slot. This differs vastly from the normal length of Demon Slayer episodes which normally range from 20-30 minutes, besides season 4 episode 1 which also saw a special 1 hour extended slot.
