Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc Will Have Three Big Fights

Tanjiro And Giyo Will Fight Akaza In Infinity Castle Arc

Based on the trailer, there are going to be three major fights in the first Infinity Castle film. These are:

  • Akaza vs. Giyu and Tanjiro
  • Zenitsu vs. Kaigaku
  • Shinobu vs. Doma

The first fight is between the Upper Moon Rank 3 and Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka. Akaza has been a constant thorn in the side of the Demon Slayers. He appeared in the Mugen Train arc, where he fought against Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira. The fight was extremely intense and rather emotional, especially because of Rengoku's death.

Well, let's get this party started. —Akaza

Tanjiro witnessed Rengoku's death, which is why he will be eager to fight Akaza and avenge the Flame Hashira. For Giyu, the fight is going to be a test of his strength and resolve. Akaza is by no means a pushover, and he will do everything in his power to stop the two Demon Slayers from progressing forward.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc Shows A Serious Zenitsu

The trailer for the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle arc also featured Zenitsu, who is one of Tanjiro's closest friends and among the main characters of the series. For the majority of the series, Zenitsu has been an unserious person. He has a habit of falling asleep in the middle of battles, which can sometimes be infuriating. However, that will change in the first film.

Long time no see, Zenitsu. —Kaigaku

In the upcoming film, Zenitsu will fight Kaigaku, who holds the position of Upper Rank Six. So, it is going to be a massive challenge for Zenitsu, and one that he must overcome at all costs. Zenitsu is widely believed to have a lot of potential, and his battle with Kaigaku will show whether he will ever reach it or not.

Shinobu Faces One Of The Strongest Demons In Infinity Castle

The third fight in the Infinity Castle arc will be between Shinobu Kocho and Doma. The Insect Hashira will face the Upper Rank Two. It's already been established that a Hashira alone cannot always win against a demon that's in the Upper Rank. So, Shinobu will have to be on her toes throughout the fight because the margin for error is very small.

One misstep could mean death, which is why Shinobu has to be vigilant. On the other hand, Doma has no such problems. He is a demon with insanely high regeneration and stamina. Therefore, he can afford to make mistakes. This fight can go either way, but the odds are certainly in the favor of Doma.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc Will Be Covered In Three Films

As previously stated, Demon Slayer's Infinity Castle arc has been slated to be adapted into a trilogy. The first film is going to be released in Japan on July 12, 2025, and it will hit theaters in the US on September 12, 2025. Naturally, fans in the US will have to wait for a while before they get the opportunity to see the first film. Additionally, they should stay off social networking sites for a while to avoid spoilers.

Instead of waiting, fans can also read the manga and learn what happens in the arc. It is certainly the better alternative to being spoiled involuntarily.
