Demon Slayer Will Unveil the Most Unexpected Survivor of Infinity Castle

This article contains spoilers from the Demon Slayer manga.

Akaza Returns” initiates the three-part saga, “Demon Slayer: Eternal Castle.” Japanese viewers are privileged to experience the much-awaited film ahead of global audiences, making the wait for international fans increasingly agonizing as each week passes. However, speaking of good fortune, an unforeseen character battling within the Eternal Castle is incredibly fortunate to have survived the lethal night. It seems as though their guardian angel labored tirelessly through the night, miraculously ensuring their survival.

Fans of Demon Slayer anticipate that lives will be at stake during the Infinity Castle arc. With the fierce battle between demon slayers and the upper moons, it’s certain that bloodshed will occur. Once they enter the treacherous fortress, no one, not even Tanjiro, the Hashira, or the upper moon demons, can be completely safe. However, there may be some characters, regardless of their power level, who could miraculously survive and make it through to another day.

Murata Will Survive the Infinity Castle Arc

Murata Might Be the Luckiest Demon Slayer

Luck and timing play significant roles in Murata’s survivability in Infinity Castle.
Murata is an absurdly lucky demon slayer with strong plot armor.

Being exceptionally skilled and potent in the art of demon slaying comes with its advantages and disadvantages. Due to their extraordinary power, they are often tasked with perilous missions that require them to vanquish a member of the 12 Kizuki. Battling these demons is far from leisurely; they risk losing their lives or even limbs in the process. However, those demon slayers who possess less power compared to the Hashira or the main trio may either meet an untimely end or manage to survive in ways that seem almost miraculous.

Murata, whose surname remains undisclosed, could very well embody the epitome of a fortunate demon slayer. In the series, he consistently manages to make it through even the most perilous situations, thanks to his extraordinary luck. Even during the Infinity Castle story arc, Murata miraculously escapes a close call with the upper moons. Despite being just an average fighter and lacking any showy breathing techniques, he exhibits an unusual resilience in Demon Slayer.

You saw me defeated, but I’m a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman too! I’ll handle this.—Murata

To set the record straight, Murata proves instrumental during the Infinity Castle arc in the “Demon Slayer” manga. Rather than being a mere bystander, he lends aid and assistance to the primary group consisting of Tanjiro, Nezuko, Kanao, and Yushiro when needed. Crucially, Murata does not become a drain on their resources, instead standing as a reliable ally who can fend for himself in battle. Although he may not be the mightiest swordsman, his fighting spirit ensures he holds his ground without becoming a hindrance to others.

Murata Had Near-Death Encounters Before Infinity Castle

Murata Might Not Be Flashy, But His Survivability Is Top-Notch

Murata had multiple near-death encounters, but he always survived.
Murata might be a mid-level demon slayer, but he’s not a liability.

Murata’s profession as a demon slayer frequently found him in perilous predicaments due to the nature of the role. Spectators understand that a demon slayer’s life is constantly at risk whenever they engage in combat because they can’t recover like their adversaries. Yet, despite repeatedly witnessing the loss of his fellow members, Murata didn’t abandon the Demon Slayer Corps. Instead, he persisted within the organization until he personally witnessed the demise of Muzan Kibutsuji, the demon king.

From the very beginning of Demon Slayer, Murata frequently faced brushes with death. It was a close call in the Final Selection when he survived merely because Sabito almost wiped out all demons in the mountains. In the Mount Natagumo arc, not only did Murata narrowly avoid the demon slayer massacre, but at the last possible moment, Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira, saved his life from the Spider Demon’s daughter.

Moving forward, Murata will manage to endure despite being just an average fighter. Although his survival is partly due to his significance in the storyline, it’s still impressive how he stays alive while his fellow characters keep dying, especially considering this series has a reputation for gruesome deaths. Consequently, fans often tease him by using his images in memes and pointing out his apparent plot armor.

Other Than Murata, Who Will Survive the Infinity Castle Arc?

Who Will Come Out of the Infinity Castle Alive?

After the Infinity Castle arc, it’s not just Murata who will survive; the main group consisting of the trio, along with Kanao, will emerge from the fortress, though they’ll bear severe wounds. The surviving Hashira, ready to carry on the battle against Muzan on the surface, include Obanai, Sanemi, Giyu, Gyomei, and Mitsuri. Moreover, Yushiro is expected to persist in aiding the demon slayers, even following Tamayo’s passing.

These combatants in the Demon Slayer series won’t halt their battles while Muzan remains alive. Conversely, Akaza, Kokushibo, Doma, Nakime, and Kaigaku will meet their demise, thus ending the upper moons. In the event that the Infinity Castle movies depict the Sunrise Countdown Arc, more Hashira are expected to meet a tragic end, leaving viewers in tears. Sadly for these deceased Demon Slayer characters, the indomitable Murata will embark on a life that’s more tranquil and joyful.
