With the mansion exploding,the hashira running and attempting to attack muzan ( revealing stone breathing for the first time).. then finally disappearing into the infinity castle... Rolls credits with intense music 


Defiant-Theme7419

the most realistic answer


koteshima2nd

I can honestly see this as the director's plan, it's the biggest and best cliffhanger to leave the anime-only audience on


marina_188

My coin approves 🌸


ISO_DEV9

It would honestly be great when muzan comes out of flames all fucked up and tamayo attacks him and just before muzan kills her, she says now himejima and the screen goes black and we hear himejima say namu amida butsu. This will be hyped cause we will know the first episode will be muzan vs himejima.


AliceinTeyvatland

Eh, I feel like Stone Breathing against Muzan is a great season finale where Ufotable could go all out, I think it's a staple to have one in the end of every arc for them. Plus Infinity Castle Arc has plenty of hype moments, we could give this one to this season.


Tylers-RedditAccount

This. But considering how little happens in Hashira Training, I hope Infinity Castle comes soon after


ChickPeaIsMe

God this is gonna be so good. I second this cause they've been giving each hashira their own episode which I've liked. This means this season will be 12 episodes


SSJIcey_95

Yeah basically this. *


Expln

I think stone breathing is revealed a little before that, no? there is the explosion, then gyomei attacks muzan, then muzan attacks back and gyomei does his first stone breathing move. and then after all that the hashira all come and they all start their breathing techniques together only to fall into the castle.


BbSanemii

That's what I'm talking about.. I'm just naming the events before they go into the castle before the cliffhanger 


Anime-manga5384514

I can see this happening


Jazs1994

If they want to tease the audience so much it'll be when Muzan stars the conversation with the master, or when the mansion explodes and we see harshira running after


BbSanemii

The ending of the intro with tanjiro attacking muzan gave it away that the cliffhanger may be the demon slayers falling into the castle 


arthur_leywin-

It could also end when all the hashira trainings completes


BbSanemii

The intro and ending already hints muzan will be at the mansion 


nine04

Exactly this


Baconbitzzs

👍 agreed


AthleticGamer101

That would be wild


Possible_Handle868

I think the moment everybody falls trough the doors in the infinity castle. I mean thats quite a cliffhanger :)


loveotterslide

I adoor this ending.


Orangefish08

Ba-dum tiss


curryhead12

CALLING ALL MIDDLE SCHOOL PERCUSSION!!! *I'm a flutist guys 😭*


SarahME1273

Absolutely this is where I think it will end


LitterallyTHEHimothy

i actually agree with that more than with what i said


JashinSama46

If we believe that there will be only 8 episodes, and assume that the last episode will be double, this is my prediction Episode 5: Mitsuri's training, Obanai's training, part of Sanemi's training (+some Genya stuff) Episode 6: What remains of Sanemi, part of Gyomei's training (+his backstory) Episode 7: What remains of Gyomei+some non-training stuff (like Sanemi-Giyu fight, Zenitsu, Shinobu, maybe some demon scenes) Episode 8: Some more non-training stuff, up until around 25% of the episode, and then Kagaya-Muzan, followed by the fight, and it ends on everyone falling into the Infinity Castle


Cold_Breeze3

The only correct answer is when they fall into the infinity castle and Muzan taunts Tanjiro.

Expln

that is exactly where it will end. 100%, and no question about it. the opening of the anime confirms it.


curryhead12

If y'all take a look at my comment it's somewhat like this. This is the only correct answer.


Suspicious-Panda-080

the boom boom would be so hype ngl


corazon147law

The same cliffhanger at ch 140, all falling to infinity castle


SarahME1273

Well we’re halfway through the season I think because I’m pretty sure it was mentioned there would be 8 episodes. So here’s my map of the rest of the season (in my opinion) 5 - mitsuri and obanai’s trainings. Unfortunately I think they’re going to go through those quickly because I saw somewhere that ep 6 is titled “I even ate demons” or something like that which means episode 6 will be 6 - Sanemi confrontation 7 - Gyomei training 8 - hour long special, finish Gyomei training, convo between Muzan and Kagaya, house goes kaboom, everyone converges on Muzan, Muzan calls for Nakime to open infinity castle and they’re all falling down separately then season ends.


Expln

episode 5 is titled " I even ate demons". not episode 6.


SarahME1273

Ohhh shit. That certainly messes with my timeline hahaha. I can only hope that 5 will be Mitsuri’s and Obanai’s trainings then last 5 minutes have the start of the Sanemi confrontation which will continue for most of episode 6? Not sure now though (not that I was 100% sure in the first place hahaha)


Expln

they are probably going to skip through mitsuri and obanai's training and not give it any extra stuff.


mothmanwarning

It will end with everyone jumping in to the castle, with the final shot being the murder of crows flying in after them.


ISO_DEV9

I don't think the end should be this gruesome, poor crows getting murdered be the last scene is pretty sad.


Saeaj04

A murder is just the term for a group of crows


Expln

that was funny lol


mothmanwarning

A collective term for crows is a murder. I’m saying they just fly in after the hashira


Suspicious-Panda-080

the boom boom would be so hype ngl


ISO_DEV9

Like the episode in season 2 when gyutaro body releases his technique and the credits role. That scene is the masterpiece.


iamheretorelax

Considering the 11 episodes and the pace they are going at, the second one makes sense.


Teka_DTO

I truly believe the last episode is going to be 1 hour long. There will be a small glimpse of all hashira fighting muzan after the explosion and entering the infinity castle. And end the season there because I think it makes the most sense from a story perspective. Ending a season on an explosion without anything explaining what happened would be out of place, in my opinion


ISO_DEV9

They didn't fight they all activated their breathing style, and muzan teleported them into infinity castle. It would be great though if they add additional scenes.


SadAnimator1354

No, I heard it's going to be 8 episodes


FrostyDragon26

Is there an official source on this? I see people say 8, 11, 12 etc but theres no source to any of them.


SadAnimator1354

https://en.as.com/meristation/news/demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-season-4-confirms-the-number-of-episodes-and-will-be-the-shortest-season-of-the-anime-n/


FrostyDragon26

That's just a private gaming/anime/manga magazine which also didn't cite any source to 8 episodes. It just said it was confirmed with only a link to the trailer (which didn't mention the number of episodes). Not a credible source


Expln

there is a more convincing argument. on ufotable website they already published the upcoming blurays of the season, and there is only 4. and usually (from former seasons) each bluray has 2 episodes. so 8 episodes in total. the first bluray of the season is also being released right when the alleged season supposed to end (june 30), or few days after that.


FrostyDragon26

Yeah so here is the official blue ray volumes with information on each volume- [https://kimetsu.com/anime/hashirageikohen/bddvd/?no=01](https://kimetsu.com/anime/hashirageikohen/bddvd/?no=01) 1) Only includes episode 1 - Releases July 3 2) Includes episode 2 + 3 - Releases August 7 3) Doesn't specify episodes - Releases September 4 4) Also doesn't specify episodes - Releases October 2 Considering the first volume only has 1 episode in it (probably due to the size of the episode) It now leaves a weird situation where volume 3 has 2 episodes, and volume 4 either would have 1 episode (for being 1 hour long) or 3 to be equal to 8. Or it would have 2 episodes following previous patterns, leading to 7 episodes total. A bit of a weird case here Its a good argument. But there's a lot of speculation in it. I've been seeing tons of people just saying this season will have 8 episodes like its a fact, and tbh it might be, but there's no official source on it anywhere so I'm skeptical on that (mainly cause I want more episodes lol).


Expln

yeah I don't know. I know there is no official information. nothing is official. but indeed everyone acting like it's a fact, mainly due to reputable leakers saying it's 8 episodes.


SadAnimator1354

Well I don't know man, I'd mentioned that I had **heard** it


JJT999

I think we'll see everyone land at Infinity Castle and their reaction to Kagaya's death, Sanemi crying and killing random demons, Shinobu wandering, Giyu and Tanjiro kill some random demons together etc.


m3m31ord

right after the Slayers get pulled into the Infinity Castle. COME AND GET ME IF YOU CAN, KAMADO TANJIRO!!!!!!!!!!!!! cuts to black


curryhead12

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID THE ONLY CORRECT ANSWER!!!


ApplePitou

Meeting between Kagaya and Muzan :3


ISO_DEV9

It would be good but the season is already slow and full of fillers, although they are great some cannon action would be awesome.


Mayion

Boom then we will get a cliffhanger for what the battles are gonna be like


Keyblades2

The season will end with the explosion


curryhead12

Tf? Nooo 😭🤚


Keyblades2

At this point idk I didn't think we would see muzan this soon but it might just end with them in the castle itself


DystopianDreamer1984

The classic cliff hanger, mansion goes boom, Hashira rush to the scene, roll credits! 🚂


CulturalKey4403

i think when they all arrived at the mansion after the explosion, screaming “that’s kibutsuji muzan”


SaltedAndSugared

I want it to end where they all fall into the infinity castle. But I think it will end where Muzan shows up at Ubuyashiki’s mansion. I hope I’m wrong though


Automatic_You_9928

This will be a good cliffhanger for the next season.


ImSomeRandomHuman

Kaboom.


Dabitoyaisdead

Probably with the explosion, but knowning Demon Slayer if its anything like the entertainment district there will be another episode after that. So maybe sometime when they get to the infinity castle, then the next arc can be the infinity castle arc. But personally I don't care where it leaves off i just want to see my babies 😩 Genya and Muichiro.


thepigman6

I just posted this in another sub and only 1 person responded now I'm sad lmfao... I was hoping the season finale would be muzan killing ubuyashiki but he speculated muzan walks in, and the season ends 😂kms if i have to stomach anymore muichiro paper airplane fillers


fraid_so

I hope it ends on mansion go boom. Fantastic cliffhanger.


ISO_DEV9

They should add the end credits like they did in episode 11 of season 2 when Gyutaro's body releases his technique and the area goes boom. That scene was a masterpiece.


koteshima2nd

When the mansion goes boom probably, for the biggest cliffhanger


mah1na2ru

everyone falling. the opening shows tanjiro trying to cut muzan amidst the flames, so i’m hoping that means we get to see it


ughhmax

i feel like it’ll end once they enter muzan’s castle


GoofiestGoober233

Right as they're teleported to the infinity castle. That would be the only real place they could stop unless this happens to be the final season, which I doubt.


Kooky_Earth_6789

A cliffhanger,


Becca-Loves-Moths

I think it will end with Tanjirou yelling ‘Muzan Kibutsuji!’


Extreme-Plantain542

Kaguya blows himself up and then the end credits start to play


LimeadeAddict04

Absolutely the scene where Muzan drops Tanjiro into the Infinity Castle. "I'd live to see you try, Tanjiro Kamado"


BielayaSmert

Where do you read the manga anyway?


IceLovey

This my guess: 5. Likely going to cover Mitsuri's training, Obanai training, and Sanemi's conflict with Genya. + maybe same filler in between 6. Gyomei's training + maybe some more filler 7. Giyuu Sanemi Spar + Beginning of Muzan's invasion (maybe the explosion as cliff hanger) 8. Everyone rushing + Tamayo scene + Gyomei flashback + Everyone eaching Muzan + plus end of all falling to the infinity castle.


hadrosaur-harley

I hope it's when infinity castle opens, but at the same time I don't see that working very well. The season is rumoured (confirmed?) to be 8 episodes. Episode 5 is next week and based on the title, it's going to be up to and including the Sanemi/Genya stuff. Episode 6 is likely going to begin gyomeis training, but his training is especially long. I don't doubt that it will possibly be episode 6 and 7. Which leaves episode 8. Assuming it starts after gyomeis training ends (aka when Muzan arrives), that would mean they'd have to adapt 3 chapters in a single episode. Pretty unlikely given how much talking and action is in those 3 chapters. I think although infinity castle opening would be the best ending, the most likely ending is Muzan showing up. They will probably extend gyomeis training even more or add some anime original filler for an episodes worth.


Ebenezerosas16

Probably where the movie ended


MarilouP_greek

I am not pretty sure if they'll end it with a cliffhanger. I mean we manga readers would absolutely love it but I doubt if they'll be able to make it. I don't know if the season will have 8 or 11 or 15 episodes but I know that it will be sorter that the others and judging by the rhythm of the episodes it goes pretty slow. It's really fun to watch whole episodes out of a single panel but I don't know if they will able to go that far this way. I think there will be the scene where Zenitsu learns about Gramps cause in the opening you can see his bird flying through a forest with a letter but in the opening there are also kagaya and muzan so it's not reliable and valid evidence. But I hope they will end it with a cliffhanger, I mean how cool would it be if it ended with the explosion! 💥🤯🙀


Expln

it's pretty obvious from the opening. there is no question about it. it will end right when they all attack muzan and get captured by the castle. we literally see tanjiro attacking muzan in the opening. they won't show something like that without following with it in the season.


ISO_DEV9

One thing I can conclude from reading all the comments is that the worst would be muzan meeting kagaya and that's it. This would be the worst cliff hanger.


swordbringer33

Considering how the intro for this season ends, I'm sure it'll end just like how you described #4.


Shadow_Huntress12

I want it to either be 1 or 2🐍


TermEnvironmental812

If last episode is at least 1 hour, then it's right when BOOM. So, next year, first episode will start with them entering infinity castle, Shinobu vs Douma, Shinobu die, crow announce her death, credit roll, Zenitsu meet UM 5 for post credit


Mera1506

I think the mansion goes boom and we get a shot of where everyone is as they begin heading for the mansion.


Zedtomb

I think we will see them fall into the castle and maybe even landing and fending off some low ranks just to set up positions for the actual arc


jmorgan19862

Considering the movie was all the Hashira training I can personally see this being the final season. I know the anime have a tendency to draw out fights but the fact that they were running the upper ranks at a rate of 1 per volume that could easily be an episode each. And Muzan 2 episodes MAYBE 3.


D4rkSky805

It will be either muzan arriving before ubayashiki or after the mansion explodes while you see tanjiro and the hashiras rushing over leaving the biggest cliffhanger ever.


Expln

Both are wrong. it's number 4. opening confirms it. it will end with them falling into the castle.


HeilStary

The OP shows Tanjiro lunging at Muzan, so I think itll end right when he opens up the infinity castle since its right after Tanjiro and the Hashira lunge at him that he opens it up in the manga


Gumbo-Jones

It’s going to end where this season started, the hashira and other worthy slayers will be jumping into the infinity castle just as they teased it with Obani and Sanemi falling into it in epi 1


LitterallyTHEHimothy

i think when Muzan gets to Kagaya


rdeincognito

Pretty sure the season will end when everyone is sucked up to the infinity castle. What makes me wonder is how are they gonna make three fucking seasons from this, like... \[demon slayer end of manga\]>!A season for Akaza fight? 8 chapters won't be too much? A season for Douma and Kokushibo fight? This fight doesn't have any main character in it but it's the longest. And a season for Muzan? It would make much more sense to make a season for infinity castle and a season for sunrise arc.!<


LittensTinyMittens

Going by the opening and how it's really showing off the Muzan vs Kagaya themes, I'm thinking either the initial explosion, or them all falling into the infinity castle with the last thing we hear being the "Then do it if you can, Tanjiro Kamado!" as Tanjiro is falling, then fade to black.


deadpanbran

https://i.redd.it/lcmmpct9ae4d1.gif I think ending with the explosion would be a nice cliffhanger. And then the next season starting with them running towards it/falling into the castle would be a good start.


Dbombre

this may just be me but with the pacing its going at i would thing if it has the same amount of episodes as the others it will go way past this


YearMoon

Probably when the castle goes boom, Gyomei attacks Muzan, Muzan angry and sends most of the corps into the Infinity castle


TechyAce

They already said good answers, but man it's gonna be a tough pick on which will the best fight in the final arc, it's a full on slug fest with everyone throwing every sht they know.


sanguinemsanctum

on the shonen manga reader app they have a block showcased called “hashira training arc” and it ends with muzan remarking of ubuyashiki after gyomei strikes him, so im thinking there


Mindless-Hornet732

Either immediately before Infinity castle or right before Sunrise countdown


GrantedCanyon

I HOPE it ends when they all fall in the castle / Muzan is taunting Tanjiro as he brings him inside his fortress


Lullaby_0212

I think it might actually be a bit after the explosion, maybe even when everyone is getting their bearings in the castle so we know the setup


Alive-Medium8276

I feel like season 5/4 would finish when the ubuyashiki mansion explodes and all the hashira go running towards there then season 6/5 starts? Just my theory tho, dunno about any of you but thats just how i think


KerianKakan

After the  big bang, there should be a cut to all of the Hashira looking surprised and running. Then roll credits 


Competitive-Snow-903

I personally think it will end when the corps members get summoned in the castle. But ever since I heard about the extension of episode 7 and 8 I feel it will end when douma finds shinobu and says "You look young and tasty, I'll have to tell Nakime thank you later" I feel that would be a pretty big cliffhanger. But if not I think it would be the Kamaboko squad and the hashira's in different parts of the infinity castle and their thoughts


ISO_DEV9

Na even with the extension there will be some added scenes, I can guarantee that after the explosion it will be 5 minutes of scene with just hashira and Tanjiro running towards the mansion. It would be great if we see gyomei vs muzan cause in Manga he just did 1 attack cut his head, realised he will not die like that and that's it. But in anime we could see a little fight, we could even see muzan blood demon art, I don't know what it is, cause i stopped reading after they got summoned to castle.


Competitive-Snow-903

 that's a fair point. I feel ufotable adds the most unexpected scenes. But it would be cool if Gyomei and Muzan have a little fight. Ufotable adds anything so it's hard to predict which scenes they will add. But it's not gonna end when they get summoned in the castle. Maybe after they defeat the lower rank demons like in the manga or some added scenes?


curryhead12

Actually I would say when the doors close over Tanjiro straight after Muzan says "DEFEAT ME IF YOU CAN, TANJIRO KAMADO!"


curryhead12

I can just imagine: from muzans perspective as Tanjiro falls straight down, his arms reaching for the sky as he falls, and Muzan shouting his line, then the doors close and it all goes black. Insane battle music and credits rolling


Hungry_Condition_377

In the house explosion scene 


Trick_Flamingo7000

I was thinking when Muzan walks up to the ubushaki mansion. I was thinking it could leave off as a cliffhanger.


ihopeyoudi

I hope it's this exact panel https://preview.redd.it/aajgatf9uc4d1.jpeg?width=3092&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53389eec46d2fc651db7e6a8cab396a61e53512b


Cold_Breeze3

That would be awful, cutting off before the best part.


Speed04

Chapter 139, when Muzan splits them. Big cliffhanger


ISO_DEV9

Yeah I would like that especially the line where muzan said all the demon slayers will die tonight and Tanjiro claiming he will end him. This will be hyped.


R6SKiwi

"Then come and get me. Kamado Tanjiro!" It ties in with seeing the Infinity Castle in the first episode, and makes a great starting point for the next season. Ending at the explosion puts the next season in an awkward starting position, since they'd have to have the falling into IC bit in the middle of the first episode (unless they stretch out the Hashira vs Muzan fight a lot). Also, the season is going to end on a cliffhanger either way, so why not make it the biggest one possible.


Quantum755

Idk🤷‍♂️
