by

This article contains spoilers from the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie.

With the recent release of the first part of ‘Infinity Castle, Akaza Returns’ in theaters, ‘Demon Slayer’ is currently a hugely popular anime. The movie has been a big hit, and fans are excited to see the beginning of the climactic battles between the demon slayers and the demons within Muzan Kibutsuji’s fortress.

Following a strong positive response, *Demon Slayer* continues to be a major force in the anime and manga world. The Infinity Castle arc is a key part of Tanjiro Kamado’s story, but many fans are apparently giving up on the movie trilogy after seeing the first film.

Fans Showed All-Out Support for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Is a Box-Office Hit

  • Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is a certified box-office hit.
  • Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle could surpass the Mugen Train film.

Currently, “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” is the most popular anime movie. Fans globally are flocking to theaters, with many dressing up as characters from the show, making each screening feel like a small cosplay convention. The movie has already done incredibly well, and it’s likely to break even more box office records soon, particularly if it’s confirmed to be shown in China in October.

Demon Slayer has become a huge cultural phenomenon, joining the ranks of only the most popular anime series. Its latest film, Infinity Castle, has become the second highest-grossing anime film in Japan, surpassing Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away – only behind Demon Slayer’s own Mugen Train movie. This incredible success is thanks to the enthusiastic support of its fans.

Now that Infinity Castle is out in the US, I expect Demon Slayer’s popularity to keep climbing, especially with how much Western audiences are enjoying it. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the movie hit a billion dollars worldwide – that would be a first for any anime!

Fans Are Not Yet Ready for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 2

Fans Can’t Handle More Character Deaths and Sad Backstories

  • Fans are overwhelmed by the emotionally devastating deaths in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle.
  • Fans are expecting more painful character deaths for the rest of the Infinity Castle trilogy.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is a huge box office hit globally, but after seeing the first movie, some fans have voiced concerns about the remaining films in the trilogy. While many celebrated the movie’s success, others suggested improvements, particularly regarding its pace and the amount of time spent on character backstories.

Some Demon Slayer fans, particularly those who’ve read the manga, have said they’re losing interest in the Infinity Castle arc after Akaza’s return. They’re anticipating difficult character deaths and revealing backstories in the upcoming movies, and they feel they can’t handle it. The stakes are incredibly high in this arc, with even major characters like the Hashira and Upper Moon demons at risk.

Welcome home, darling.—Koyuki to Akaza

The first movie featured the deaths of three major characters: Shinobu Kocho, Kaigaku, and Akaza. Shinobu died in battle with Doma, Zenitsu defeated Kaigaku, and Akaza unexpectedly took his own life. These deaths happening one after another were very upsetting for many viewers, leaving them feeling emotionally exhausted. Sadly, ‘Akaza Returns’ suggests that even more difficult and emotional scenes are coming in the Infinity Castle arc.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 2 Will Increase the Kill Count

No Hashira or Upper Moon Is Guaranteed Safe

The upcoming Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movies promise even more shocking and heartbreaking character deaths. The remaining Upper Rank Demons – Nakime, Doma, and the incredibly powerful Kokushibo – are poised to cause immense suffering. The demon slayers who confront these formidable foes will be in constant danger, with every battle potentially leading to fatal consequences.

The next Demon Slayer movie, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, is currently slated for release in 2027. Fans can expect impactful character deaths and sacrifices when the story continues, but they’ll have about two more years to wait.
