Demon Slayer's Hashira Training arc is eight episodes long.

By comparison, the first season consisted of 26 episodes. From there, we had shorter arcs such as Mugen Train (seven episodes), Entertainment District (11 episodes) and Swordsmith Village arc (11 episodes). 

What next? We expect an announcement on the future of Demon Slayer and its final arc (Infinity Castle) in the coming days and weeks. There has been talk of a movie trilogy to cap it off, though we wouldn't be surprised to see a fifth season and then a movie. Watch this space.
