Demon Slayer is reaching its climax—And now we know exactly how it will end
After three years of tear-jerking narratives, incredible animation, and jaw-dropping choreography, Demon Slayer: With Kimetsu no Yaiba having just recently announced its final arc, it's clear that there's little liking to last forever. Here's why the hit anime won't be back for a new season on television. Instead, the series will conclude with a three-part movie where the first film will be released in theaters on July 18th, 2025. The announcement was made by the show's producers on the anime's official website, along with confirmation that the show's final arc—the Infinity Castle Arc—will be adapted to the big screen. This significant flip signals the start of a long sunset for one of the largest – if not the biggest – anime series in the world. What is a Demon Slayer? Why this anime became a global hit If you haven't ever watched anime, Demon Slayer may be your best entry point. Kimetsu no Yaiba hasn't just become a smash hit in Japan, it's a worldwide phenomenon. It's about Tanjiro Kamado, a compassionate son from a rural mountain village who, after having his whole family wiped out by demons, makes it his life's mission to slay them after his sister Nezuko is reborn in their ranks. Since its release in 2019, the anime has won hearts worldwide with its beautiful tale of humanity's last stand, gorgeous animation and breathtaking fight sequences. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Indeed, it is available to stream on Crunchyroll and Netflix and several other services that have further contributed to popularizing anime to millions of first-time viewers in the US, UK, and many other countries.

Is Kokushibo related to Tanjiro in Demon Slayer? Explained
Demon Slayer has garnered a lot of attention all over the world with a crisp story and memorable character sketches. The protagonist of the show, Tanjiro Kamado , emerges as one of the strongest characters in the show, and he shows an upward trend in gaining abilities and amassing power. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Now, one of the frequently asked questions around the anime is whether Tanjiro Kamado and the Upper Moon One Kokushibo are related in any way. Moving forward in the article, we have discussed the answer to the question in brief, backed by some of the most substantial facts. Relation between Kokushibo and Tanjiro Kamado The answer to the question is a little twisted, and the reason behind the same is pretty obvious, which you will get to know in the next few lines. Kokushino was originally known as Machikatsu Tsugikuni (twin brother of legendary Yoriichi Tsugikuni ). Now, Tanjiro is considered the spiritual successor of Yoriichi, and he is destined to take the legacy of the legendary demon slayer forward. Keeping that in mind, Tanjiro is not a direct relative of Kokushibo, but he can be considered a spiritual relative of the same. In the upcoming Infinity Castle Arc, we will get to see Kokushibo in action, where the audience will get familiar with the capabilities that the Upper Moon One holds. No doubt, the movie will be focused more on Tanjiro and Zenitsu; still, Kokushibo will get an ample amount of screentime in his fight against the Hashiras. Moreover, chances are that we will get to see Yoriichi in action through the flashbacks of Kokushibo in the upcoming movie. And this is something that all the Demon Slayer fans want to see. Most of the fans of the franchise think that it will be interesting to see Yoriichi on screen and witness the aura of the demon slayer who was a nightmare for Muzan.
