The initial part of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle trilogy, now playing in Japanese cinemas, is due for a global release starting next week. The movie will initially be released in Eastern regions from mid-August, with Western regions getting it by September 12th. There’s been an ongoing buzz about the film, with fresh content being shared almost daily as part of its marketing campaign. Recently, a new commercial trailer has been revealed, giving a sneak peek into the high-octane action the movie promises. As hinted by its Japanese title, Chapter 1: Akaza Returns, and previous trailers, the protagonist Tanjiro will encounter the powerful Upper Moon Three demon, Akaza.
Even though Tanjiro significantly increased his power during the Hashira Training Arc, it was always apparent that he wouldn’t be capable of facing Akaza alone. The latest trailer has officially revealed Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, as Tanjiro’s partner in this battle. From the sneak peek, it’s obvious that Giyu will spearhead the attack, putting everything into a battle that could decide humanity’s future. This confirmation of Giyu taking the lead in the first film’s climactic fight is an exciting revelation for fans, as it signifies the Water Hashira, who was introduced at the beginning of the series, will finally be featured in a major, high-stakes confrontation.
Giyu Tomioka Will Lead the Main Event of the New Demon Slayer Movie
In the very first episode of the “Demon Slayer” anime, Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, made his appearance. He embodied the strength and determination characteristic of the Demon Slayer Corps from the get-go. As fans learned that he was one of the elite Hashira members later on, their curiosity about his abilities grew even more intense. So far, they’ve only caught glimpses of his power, like when he singlehandedly defeated Lower Moon Six using a self-created Water Breathing technique called the 11th form. This demonstrates not just his exceptional combat skills but also his genius intellect. The latest Hashira Training Arc provided some insights into Giyu’s past, making him an even more beloved character among fans.
The fresh trailer for the upcoming movie adds to the anticipation, since it suggests that Giyu will take the front line against Akaza, who is likely the third strongest demon alive. The clip depicts Giyu actively engaging with Akaza, thereby presenting opportunities for Tanjiro to attack. Given their relationship as master and student, this fight promises to be all the more intriguing. The tension escalates due to Akaza’s past of being the demon who murdered another esteemed Hashira, Rengoku. Viewers are eager to witness Giyu confront him for the first time in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. The intensity of this battle may even result in Giyu’s demise.
