Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Drops First Look at Iguro’s Final Fight

by

The first movie out of the final three films in the “Demon Slayer” series titled “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” has unveiled its trailer before its Japanese cinema premiere on July 18th. The preview, as anticipated, offers stunning visuals and underscores the crucial contributions of the Demon Slayer Corps’ top-tier warriors, known as Hashira. Each Hashira is expected to contribute significantly to the climactic war. The 90-second trailer concentrates on two significant battles that will be presented in the upcoming film, spotlighting Hashira Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka, along with the series’ protagonist, Kamado Tanjiro, involved in distinct conflicts. In this movie, Shinobu, an Insect Hashira, is set to encounter Upper Rank 2, Doma, while Giyu, the Water Hashira, will team up with Tanjiro against Upper Rank 3, Akaza.

In the trailer, it’s clear that although other leaders, or Hashira, might not appear as prominent initially, they are by no means sidelined. The character of Obanai Iguro, the Snake Hashira, is notably present from the start. The story unfolds in a massive demon assault on the Demon Slayers who are trapped within the shifting labyrinth known as the Infinity Castle. Surviving this chaotic fortress and repelling constant attacks will require more than just brute strength; it demands quick thinking too, a trait the Hashira possess in abundance. From the trailer, it appears that Iguro’s first significant action in the final battle against the onslaught of demons will be to utilize his intellectual prowess effectively.

Iguro’s Role as a Hashira Will Be Pivotal in the Final Battle Against the Demons

In the 90-second preview, the Snake Pillar, Obanai Iguro, initiates an assault against waves of demons approaching Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Pillar. The trailer doesn’t reveal any subsequent actions from Iguro, suggesting his current mission is to whittle down the demon numbers, paving the way for other Demon Slayers to progress towards their main objective, Kibutsuji Muzan. However, Iguro isn’t just battling demons; he also faces a significant challenge posed by the Infinity Castle and its ever-changing architecture. The strategy to conquer this menace hinges on defeating Nakime, the castle’s controller.

It’s quite likely that Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Hashira, who hasn’t been seen fighting an Upper Rank demon yet but is battling hordes of demons, will team up with Iguro to face Nakime in the upcoming battle. This partnership seems fitting given the long-implied romantic connection between these two characters. Their stand against Nakime could mark a significant turning point in their relationship, possibly leading to a deeper romance.

In the world of Demon Slayer, this movie might also reveal Iguro’s past for the first time, adding emotional depth to the climax and providing insight into his feelings towards Mitsuri, the Love Hashira. This could help us better understand their bond.
