DEMON HOME THE MOIVE

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle (2025) Plot: After recovering from Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s trap and subduing Tamayo, Muzan Kibutsuji retreats into his dimensional stronghold, the Infinity Castle, and traps the Demon Slayer Corps inside.[b] The Demon Slayers are separated and face hordes of Lower Rank-level demons as they search for Muzan and Tamayo. Kagaya’s son Kiriya and daughters Kuina and Kanata lead the operation by mapping the Infinity Castle with the Kasugai crows and locating its inhabitants, with former Hashiras Tengen Uzui and Shinjuro Rengoku standing guard. Shinobu Kocho encounters Upper Rank Two Doma, recognizing he was responsible for her older sister Kanae’s death. Despite her use of poisons, Doma develops immunity to her attacks, ultimately killing and consuming her. Shinobu’s adoptive younger sister Kanao Tsuyuri arrives too late to save her and takes her place in the battle against Doma, while the Kasugai crows announce Shinobu’s death to the rest of the Demon Slayers. Zenitsu Agatsuma faces his former senior Kaigaku, who became the new Upper Rank Six after an encounter with Upper Rank One Kokushibo. Angered by Kaigaku’s lack of guilt over his betrayal, which led to their master Jigoro committing suicide, they battle. Kaigaku voices his frustration at being put on the same level as the “weak and useless” Zenitsu, only to be surprised when he unleashes a self-taught seventh form of Thunder Breathing, killing Kaigaku before passing out. Zenitsu momentarily enters the afterlife and sees Jigoro, who admits to always being proud of him; he is then rescued and treated by a disguised Yushiro, who has been using his Blood Demon Art to help the Ubuyashikis map the Infinity Castle. Meanwhile, Nezuko takes a drug produced by Shinobu and Tamayo to restore her humanity and is placed under the care of Sakonji Urokodaki. Tanjiro Kamado and Giyu Tomioka fight Upper Rank Three Akaza. Though Giyu unlocks his mark to enhance his power, Akaza continues to overwhelm them. Determining that the demon is able to target people based on their willpower, Tanjiro recalls memories of Inosuke’s ability to detect attacks, and observing his late father in combat. He enters the Transparent World and Selfless State, giving him heightened perception and masking his emotions, successfully beheading Akaza. However, Akaza’s body continues to resist and fight Tanjiro and Giyu while headless, pushing them on the brink. Their persistence causes Akaza to remember his tragic past; he was a young criminal named Hakuji, who stole to fund his father’s medication. After being caught stealing numerous times, his father committed suicide. This led to a chance encounter with the owner of a dojo, Keizo. Hakuji served as his sole disciple while taking care of Keizo’s sick daughter, Koyuki. Hakuji and Koyuki eventually became engaged, but she and her father were poisoned by a resentful neighboring dojo that wanted the land. The vengeful Hakuji massacred all of the dojo’s members and was turned into a demon during an encounter with Muzan afterwards. Despite regenerating his head out of sheer will to defeat Tanjiro, Akaza realizes his mistakes through his restored memories. He fatally injures himself to atone for his actions as a demon, flashing a final smile at Tanjiro. He reconciles with his loved ones and reunites with Koyuki, who embraces him before he goes to Hell. Tanjiro and Giyu pass out from exhaustion as their victory is announced by the Kasugai crows. Kokushibo and Doma sense and are disappointed by Akaza’s death, while Nakime, now Upper Rank Four, manipulates the Infinity Castle’s layout to confuse the Ubuyashikis. Muzan traps Tamayo in a cocoon of his flesh, remaining confident of his victory over the Demon Slayers.
