Hashira Training, however, only has a small amount of source material to draw from. Without some serious padding, it’s unlikely to stack up to even Mugen Train’s truncated seven-episode run. While it’s been confirmed as a full season, we wouldn’t be surprised for it to be a short pit stop on the way to bigger things – a six-episode season (tops) would be our guess. But even something as short as two or three episodes could be realistic.
A year long wait for less than half a season? No they would be doing some anime only filler stuff in the arc to make it 11-12 episodes long. There's also the chance they combine the small arc with the next arc but how will they end the season then?
