The subbed version of Demon Slayer season 4 is now over and available to stream on Crunchyroll. So, for those looking for episode 9 of Hashira Training, be aware: there isn't one. As you'll see below, this is one of the shortest Demon Slayer seasons to date. But there's still dubbed fans to consider, and they're lagging weeks behind.
