7 Must-Watch Anime Movies Like Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is huge, but it isn't the only must-watch anime movie.
Chachamaru
A Cat Demon
For the vast majority of the story, the calico cat, Chachamaru, was just a normal cat. However, before the final battle, Chachamaru was turned into a demon by Lady Tamayo. This transformation saved the cat’s life on several occasions and allowed it to complete missions more effectively. Chachamaru will play a crucial role in the final battle as it carries poison antidotes.
Tamayo
An Ally of the Demon Slayers
Tamayo’s role in Demon Slayer cannot be understated. Without her, the Demon Slayers could never have defeated Muzan. With Shinobu’s help, Tamayo created the anti-Muzan drug and sacrificed herself to administer it to Muzan before the Infinity Castle battles began. Though she meets a sad end, she accomplished her mission with success.
Yushiro
Tamayo’s Trusted Companion
Yushiro is another demon allied with the Demon Slayers. Loyal to Lady Tamayo, he helped out on the mission to end Muzan’s era. Yushiro’s Blood Demon Art was essential in the Infinity Castle, such that it even caused the death of Nakime and led to the collapse of the Infinity Castle. He proved to be strong enough to tussle for the control of Nakime against Muzan himself.
Kaigaku
New Upper Rank 6
Kaigaku became the new Upper Rank 6 Demon after the defeat of Gyutaro and Daki. He has a deep history with Gyomei and Zenitsu, the latter of whom killed him during the first Infinity Castle movie. Kaigaku had potential, but never fully developed.
Nakime
New Upper Rank 4
Nakime rose to Upper Rank 4 after the Swordsmith Village arc and the defeat of Hantengu. Her Blood Demon Art controls the entire Infinity Castle. Her defeat signals the end of the castle and the start of the final battle.
Akaza
Upper Rank 3
Akaza is the Upper Rank 3 Demon and the star of the first movie, as fans have seen already. He previously killed Rengoku in Mugen Train, so fans anticipated an emotional battle against Giyu and Tanjiro. Akaza ultimately accepted defeat and ended his own life. His character writing and backstory are highlights of the Infinity Castle movie.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 is coming, and its focus characters have already been revealed.
Doma
Upper Rank 2
Doma played quite an intriguing role in the first movie, fighting and killing the Insect Hashira Shinobu, though his true battle is pending. He will star in the second movie, where he will battle Kanao and Inosuke, and eventually, will be incapacitated by Shinobu’s poison. His fight promises to be one of Demon Slayer’s best battles ever.
Kokushibo
Upper Rank 1
The most fearsome demon after Muzan, Kokushibo will be the main highlight of the second Infinity Castle movie. With the power of Moon Breathing, he's going to set the world alight and fans will definitely enjoy the spectacle that he will give them. His battle against some of the strongest Hashira will showcase his brutality, and why he truly deserves to be the Upper Rank 1.
Muzan
The Demon King
Though weakened by Lady Tamayo, Muzan is already recovering. As the Demon King and strongest demon, he is nearly invincible, with only sunlight being his true weakness. He cannot be beheaded, making the final battle against him the most intense in Demon Slayer history, and something that will keep the fans on the edge of their seats.
