Demon Slayer Season 4 Hashira Training Arc is the newest premiere for anime lovers, and they keep coming back to watch more of it. The final weekend TV anime adaptation has aired every Sunday since its mega comeback on May 12. Japanese TV network Fuji Television aired Episode 2, “Pain of the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka,” on May 19, and the recently unveiled TV rankings for May Week 3 show that Tanjiro is indeed slaying all kinds of demons to stay at the top of the roster.
Maintaining its top spot at No. 2 since its debut on May 12, Demon Slayer Season 4 earned an average household viewership rate of 6.1%. Despite a slight drop from last week’s 6.9% top score, the series retained its spot atop the table, trailing behind long-running anime staple, Sazae-san.
The Ufotable anime series wasn’t the only shonen title that made the cut. Like last week’s chart, new episodes of fan-favorite series My Hero Academia, That Time I Got Reincarnated, and One Piece also gained significant spots in the top 10 table for the third week of May (Monday, May 13 to Sunday, May 19).

Although My Hero Academia dropped down on the weekly chart from its previous No. 5 spot, it managed to make it onto the top 10 list with a viewership rating of 2.5%. Season 7 Episode 3, “Villain”, aired on Saturday, May 18 on Nippon Television.
On the other hand, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 made huge progress and made it back to the top 10 list despite missing out on a spot in the May Week 2 rankings. Its latest episode, released on Friday, May 17, took the 5th spot, while My Hero Academia Season 7 occupied this spot last week.
Finally, One Piece Episode 1105 achieved an average viewership rating of 2.9% to reach the 7th spot, rising two spots from last week.
