The highly anticipated Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie has finally landed in Japanese theatres, and fans are buzzing with emotions.

If you're wondering who makes it out alive and what this means for the final showdown against Muzan, here's your full breakdown, spoilers ahead!
What happens in Demon Slayer Infinity Castle?
The movie begins as the Demon Slayer Corps invades Muzan Kibutsuji's lair, the ever-shifting Infinity Castle, drawn in by Nakime's blood demon art. Split across dimensions, the Hashira and Tanjiro's team are forced into simultaneous brutal battles with the Upper Moons. Each encounter is personal and relentless, setting up emotional stakes while pushing our heroes to their absolute limits.
The film balances character-driven storytelling with dynamic fight choreography that captures the sheer intensity of Gotouge's vision.

One of the film's most talked-about sequences is the clash between Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Upper Rank One Kokushibo, who is revealed to be Yoriichi's twin brother. Muichiro delivers a valiant effort, unlocking his Demon Slayer Mark and showcasing the full range of Mist Breathing forms.
However, Kokushibo's centuries of battle experience and terrifying Moon Breathing techniques push Muichiro to the edge.
In a tragic victory, Muichiro lands a fatal blow that helps turn the tide but at the cost of his own life. His death leaves a heavy impact, particularly due to the emotional parallels between him and Kokushibo.

A unique combo of coconut water and the hugely popular Japanese drink, matcha. In a recent Instagram video, the Dhadak 2 actor is seen whipping up his own version of the green goodness. The video kicks off with Siddhant straining some spoonfuls of matcha powder into a matcha bowl. He then adds honey, followed by hot water, carefully keeping the temperature around 175 degrees Fahrenheit, before giving it a nice whisk.

After a subtle stir, Siddhant takes a sip of his creation, and the joy on his face says it all. In the caption, he revealed his love for the new drink, writing, "Waise toh Chai pasand hai lekin aaj ye kuch naya try kia (Although I like tea, but today I tried something new) and Unlocked a new Matcha recipe!
