This “The Movie: Infinity Castle” truly deserves to be called the climax. The surviving demons and members of the Demon Slayer Corps are drawn into Muzan’s fortress, the Infinity Castle, where they must fight until either total annihilation or Muzan’s defeat......! Characters like Douma and Kaigaku, who appeared only briefly in the anime, are summoned for this final battle, facing off against their strongest rivals—Shinobu and Zenitsu.

The most epic battle depicted is the fight against Akaza. Why did Akaza become such a powerful demon? The secret behind his strength is revealed alongside his tragic past......

The highlight of this movie is definitely the battle against Akaza! The quality of the action scenes in the other fights is high as well, but the Tanjirou & Giyuu vs. Akaza battle stands out above the rest! Personally, I think it also has the most emotional moments. Though Akaza is the powerful, hated demon who killed Rengoku, this film reveals why he became such a fearsome demon—his story is depicted deeply and tragically. Back when Akaza was still a human named Hakuji...... what happened to him? Please be sure to check it out for yourselves!

In Japan, since the runtime is as long as 2 hours and 30 minutes, some people avoid ordering drinks to prevent leaving for the restroom, or even eat daifuku or mochi beforehand to suppress the urge (according to some theories)...... Everyone, please look forward to “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Infinity Castle”! I’m sure the 2 hours and 30 minutes will fly by in an instant!
