by

The Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle film trilogy is poised to become one of the most memorable anime series ever made. It promises to depict some of the most intense battles from the series, as well as unveiling hidden truths that will shock even die-hard fans. Ufotable’s animation is renowned for its stunning visuals, and this trilogy may very well be their masterpiece.

The upcoming Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle offers numerous thrilling battles, yet one battle stands out as a pivotal confrontation with significant repercussions. Surprisingly, the much-anticipated duel between Tanjiro and Muzan won’t take place in this crucial encounter.

The Fight That Could Seal Muzan’s Fate or End the Demon Slayer Corps

Kokushibo Vs. Muichiro, Gyomei, Sanemi, and Genya

After Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s demise, the Demon Slayer Squad aimed to engage Muzan Kibutsuji in a prolonged fight until dawn, hoping sunlight would vanquish his tyranny. However, during the confrontation, Gyomei Himejima exploited Muzan’s injuries, launching relentless attacks that suggested Kagaya’s strategy had succeeded. Unexpectedly, with Nakime’s assistance, Muzan managed to turn the tables and trap the Demon Slayer Squad within the Infinity Castle, confining them instead. This skirmish paved the way for intense showdowns inside Muzan’s lair, battles that will determine humanity’s destiny.

In the vast array of conflicts anticipated within the Infinity Castle, one battle emerges as the most passionate and intense encounter. Unlike any previous engagements, Kokushibo finds himself facing off against Muichiro Tokito, Genya, Gyomei Himejima, and Sanemi Shinazugawa on his own. Previously a warrior unknown in combat, this battle promises to reveal the enigmatic aspects of Kokushibo’s life that have so far remained obscured from fans.

As the Upper Rank One, Kokushibo’s past has been cloaked in mystery until now. This forthcoming confrontation aims to shed light on the hidden truths about his background, thus redefining his persona and offering insights into the history behind the Demon Slayer Mark, Breathing Styles, and the illustrious era of Demon Slayers.

Beyond just impacting the storyline significantly, Kokushibo’s battle is expected to rank among the most epic fights in anime history. With skilled swordsmen such as Muichiro, Sanemi, and Gyomei pouring their heart and soul into the clash against one of Demon Slayer’s most nerve-wracking antagonists, every second will seem like a battle for existence. The intense emotions and the masterful animation by Ufotable are certain to leave an indelible mark on viewers.

Marvelous… A flawless physique, honed to its peak… It must have been centuries since I last beheld such an exceptional swordsman. Could it be around 300 years? – Kokushibo regarding Gyomei Himejima (paraphrased in a more natural and easy-to-read manner)

The epic confrontation between Kokushibo and Gyomei, Sanemi, Genya, and Muichiro is etched in history as a decisive battle that could sway the outcome towards either the Demon Slayer Corps or Muzan. Since Upper Moon One is Kibutsuji’s most dependable ally, the final result of this conflict will have wide-reaching implications. If Kokushibo emerges victorious, it would mean a devastating loss for the Demon Slayer Corps, as they would lose three of their strongest warriors from the present era. This blow could well be fatal in their ongoing struggle against Muzan. Having Kokushibo on his side would make Kibutsuji virtually unbeatable.

If the Upper Moon, Kibutsuji’s most loyal ally and one of his strongest demons, is defeated, it would significantly weaken his power. This might leave him vulnerable, possibly forcing him to face challenges alone. Under such circumstances, Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s strategy could succeed. Therefore, the battle between Kokushibo holds great importance, and its result could significantly influence the future of humanity.

Who Has the Upper Hand?

In the era of Sengoku, I myself, once a skilled swordsman, accepted Muzan’s offer to transcend into a demon. Despite the passage of time, I retain the ability to harness the power of my Demon Slayer Mark, making me one-of-a-kind among demons. In addition to wielding a unique breathing style and blood demon art, I have honed my swordsmanship over centuries, gaining the uncanny foresight to predict the moves of most formidable adversaries before they even act. This makes me an unmatched adversary on the battlefield, striking fear into those who dare challenge me.

We cherish our humanity, living and dying with dignity. Please don’t presume your unworthy thoughts are superior and impose them upon others.” ~ Gyomei addressing Kokushibo

Fortunately, the individuals battling against him aren’t your average folk. Muichiro Tokito turned demon slayer merely two years after picking up a sword. Sanemi and Gyomei are recognized as two of the most exceptional swordsmen ever. Meanwhile, Genya stands out due to his unique abilities, making him formidable in any battle against demons. Combined, these four warriors could inflict substantial damage.

In essence, the battle’s final result largely hinges on its progression. If Kokushibo confronts the demon slayers individually, he should be able to defeat them effortlessly without any significant harm. However, the only way for the Upper Moon to be defeated is if these fighters turn up simultaneously at the scene. Their collective strength will be their key advantage in facing such a powerful being. Yet, even in this situation, victory won’t come cheap and will necessitate sacrifices with far-reaching implications.
