Demon Slayer: Infinity Movie Part 1 is a Huge Hit, But It Will Be Surpassed by This One Movie

This article contains some spoilers for the Demon Slayer series.

The renowned anime and manga series, often referred to as “Demon Slayer” or “Kimetsu no Yaiba,” has sparked intense conversations among enthusiasts of the genre due to its recent film’s remarkable success. The latest addition to the series, titled “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return,” has undeniably rekindled interest in the series. Despite this movie’s impressive performance and staggering figures, there’s another film that may very well outperform it.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return Is A Huge Hit

The Movie Has Surpassed Mugen Train

I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the extraordinary surge in popularity of the Demon Slayer series, a phenomenon that seems almost impossible to duplicate in the years ahead. The series was already widely recognized before it was adapted into an anime, but its fame skyrocketed with the release of its first season. Yet, even Season 2 and particularly the Mugen Train movie outshone the success of the previous season.

Initially, when the Mugen Train made its debut, it shattered all records at the Japanese Box Office, earning the title of the biggest Japanese film ever. However, this position was recently surpassed by the latest Demon Slayer movie titled “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return”. While many anticipated its success, few expected it to reach such unprecedented heights.

The film, Infinity Castle, hasn’t hit international screens just yet, but its accomplishments are all the more remarkable given this context. However, it may find itself in a challenging competition against an unnamed movie of considerable size and popularity.

Akaza’s Return is Huge, but It Will be Surpassed by Demon Slayer’s Last Movie

The Final Movie of the Trilogy will be the Biggest

In Japan, nothing has been able to top “Demon Slayer” in terms of movie success. In fact, the only film that managed to displace a “Demon Slayer” movie at the box office was another installment from the same series.

Currently, Akaza’s Return is experiencing great success, yet it’s merely the first installment in a planned trilogy. This trilogy aims to encompass the entirety of Demon Slayer’s concluding storylines, and without a doubt, the final movie will be the most substantial among the three.

In simple terms, the upcoming film promises the much-anticipated showdown between Muzan, the Demon King. Fans are already buzzing with excitement, as this movie might be their final opportunity to witness Demon Slayer on the big screen. The anticipated success of this film is expected to surpass all previous achievements in the series.

The upcoming film, Akaza’s Return, faces significant competition from the latest Demon Slayer movie. However, we have quite some time ahead before the final movie releases, potentially not until 2029, which means a four-year wait.

Where To Watch and Read Demon Slayer?

Available on Crunchyroll and Manga Plus

The Demon Slayer manga ended back in 2020. Compared to many other series, it’s a relatively brief story, consisting of just over 200 chapters. If you’re a fan and can’t wait for the movies, you might want to delve into the manga on Manga Plus instead.

Simultaneously, for the anime, the show has completed 4 seasons so far. These seasons are all available on Crunchyroll. However, future episodes will be made into movies, which will have a theatrical premiere. The exact release dates vary by country.
