A series of unfortunate events befall him as his family, save for his sister Nezuko, is viciously slain by a demon. In the aftermath of the attack, Nezuko metamorphoses into a demon herself.

On September 12, 2025, the near-to-the-end part of Demon Slayer will be playing in cinemas. If you haven’t watched the anime or read the comic yet, you have a chance to catch up with it before then.

As a dedicated movie critic, I must say that the Mugen Train Arc is undeniably a pivotal part of the series that sets the stage for the stories yet to unfold. For those with limited time on their hands, I strongly recommend diving into the captivating cinematic adaptation. Although there are both theatrical and series versions available, the movie manages to encapsulate all key plot points succinctly and effectively.

In this gripping tale, we’re introduced to two central characters: Rengoku, a formidable Hashira (a high-ranking demon slayer), and Akaza, an Upper Rank demon who leaves quite an impression. The Mugen Train Arc is undoubtedly not one to be missed!
