Here Are All the Big Players in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle (And Why You Should Be Excited to See Them on the Big Screen)

by

The first movie in the *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* series is now in theaters and is breaking box office records for anime films. If you’re a fan wondering if it’s worth seeing in cinemas, there are many good reasons to go. The film really shines because of its beloved characters, and the action is deeply connected to the story we’ve followed throughout the series.

The new *Demon Slayer* movie isn’t just about the heroes’ motivations – the demons have compelling reasons to fight too. Because the series is built on a deeply emotional story, fans are eager to learn what makes the Upper Moon Rank demons so powerful. The first part of *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* will focus on three significant events, involving seven main characters and several others who are essential to the story.

Tanjiro Kamado, Giyu Tomioka, and Akaza For the Main Event

The first part of the *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* movie, titled ‘Akaza,’ centers on the fight between Tanjiro, Giyu, and the powerful Upper Rank Three demon, Akaza. The trailer highlights this battle, which builds on events established in the 2020 film. Driven by a desire for revenge, Tanjiro and Giyu will fight to avenge Rengoku’s death, and viewers will find out if they succeed when the movie is released.

Shinobu Kocho and Doma, With a Possibility of Kanao Joining the Fight

The movie prominently features a showdown between Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira, and the powerful demon Doma. Recent previews show this rivalry has been brewing for a long time, even longer than Tanjiro’s fight with Akaza. We now know the reason behind Shinobu’s determination to fight Doma: he killed her sister, Kanae. It’s clear Shinobu needs help to win, and just like Tanjiro teamed up with Giyu, her apprentice Kanao Tsuyuri may join the fight to avenge Kanae. Find out how their battle unfolds in theaters.

Zenitsu Agatsuma and Kaigaku

Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment have unveiled a key moment from the upcoming movie: a fight between Zenitsu Agatsuma and the powerful demon, Kaigaku. The new trailer explains the personal connection behind the battle – both were trained in Thunder Breathing by the same teacher, Jigoro Kuwajima. Because Kaigaku has become a demon, this fight is especially emotional. The trailer also reveals a crucial difference between them: Zenitsu only mastered the first form of the breathing technique, while Kaigaku knows all six. This shared history makes their clash particularly meaningful, and fans can expect to see a new, powerful side of Zenitsu in a battle best experienced in theaters.

The film will primarily follow the characters previously mentioned, but Nezuko Kamado and Inosuke Hashibira, who have been important throughout the series, will also appear. The trailer hints at scenes featuring the other Hashira, and shows the powerful Upper Rank One demon and the main villain, Muzan Kibutsuji, as he continues to pursue Nezuko. This first movie in the *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* arc is a significant part of the series’ ending, and promises even more impressive visuals than fans have already seen – making it a must-see on the big screen.
