Demon Slayer Movie: Infinity Castle to skip OTT release? All you need to know
Demon Slayer Movie: Infinity Castle aka Akaza's Return has been ruling theatres in Japan. And there's a strong reason for this, apart from its content. The animated film is likely to be a theatrical-exclusive release, just like the other movies including Mugen Train from the Demon Slayer franchise, which Indian fans can watch on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium. A still from Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie part 1 - Akaza's Return Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie part 1 to skip OTT? The makers of Demon Slayer have always kept the theatrical releases and anime series separate. The movie offers more insight into the story and expands on what happens after the previous plot. Every Demon Slayer movie connects one arc to the next. The makers have often released films with the very intention of bringing fans to theatres. Through this method, they tease fans about next season. The first episode of the next season begins from the cliffhanger moment in the movie and continues from that point on. This time around too, the makers promise that Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – Part 1 aka Akaza's Return will be a theatrical-exclusive release. So, will there be no new Demon Slayer Infinity Castle series aka Demon Slayer season 5? It is unlikely that we will get a Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle series, or season 5. The makers had clarified this right after Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc aka Demon Slayer season 4 released on OTT. However, not all doors are shut yet, and audiences' response to the movies might just decide if the makers expand the world briefly and wrap it up with season 5. At this point, though, there is no season 5 in the works, and the world of Demon Slayer will come to an end in 2029 with the release of Infinity Castle movie Part 3. Where to brush up on the Demon Slayer story so far? This could be your last chance to experience the world of Demon Slayer on the big screen. To recap the story — why protagonist Tanjiro Kamado seeks revenge on Akaza and the main antagonist Muzan, and what it took for him to get this far — you can watch all four seasons of Demon Slayer on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium.

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train's unmatched success remains unparalleled Demon Slayer: Mugen Train set the bar sky-high when it earned $386.48 million in Japan alone.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle: Revisiting The Moment Where It All Began
Hashira's fall is the moment where the movie – Akaza's Return – commences. The much-awaited Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie Part 1 has been making waves around the world. The official film titled Akaza's Return has taken Taiwan by storm after the theatrical release in the country on August 8. However, the film has not yet announced any release dates in India, and while Indian fans are awaiting to watch the highly anticipated film, let's revisit the iconic moment where it all began. Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc Marks the beginning of the end The Hashira Training Arc that started with Inosuke being goofy around Tanjiro and Zenitsu being awkward around Nezuko ended on a dark note. As they all got ready to take on the lead antagonist, Muzan, Nezuko got locked up and in protection far away from Muzan. What Is Infinity Castle? Once all the Hashira were nearly ready, Muzan entered the castle and was ready for action, while Ubuyashiki, who served as the master for the Hashira for decades, was on the verge of death. After learning how their master and his family sacrificed their lives, all the Hashira were seen getting into action to capture Muzan. However, Muzan was hiding his prized possession, Nakime. (She is the Upper Rank 4 demon who can open up a portal from anywhere in the world). When the Hashira were just about to attack Muzan, the portal opened up, and all of them were transported into the Infinity Castle. Their fall is the moment where the movie – Akaza's Return – commences. Important Fights in Akaza's Return Akaza's Return shows three main fights, including Zenitsu and Kaigaku, Shinobu and Douma, and Giyu Tomioka and Akaza. Zenitsu and Kaigaku's fight is one of the highly anticipated ones, as through their fight the makers reveal a history. Although Shinobu and Douma share a dark past too, it did not match the anticipation of the fight between Giyu Tomioka and Akaza. The latest instalment also features Tanjiro, who finally gets an opportunity to avenge Rengoku's death, which he has been trying since the Mugen episode. With such intense fights and much-awaited plot developments, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has been making headlines all over the world. Directed by Haruo Sotozaki, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle's release date was pushed in India. The latest instalment of the Demon Slayer franchise will now hit the theatres on September 12.
