Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle left fans gasping, crying, and screaming into their pillows. The movie wrapped up one of the most brutal arcs yet, but here’s the thing—this is just the setup for the chaos that follows. If you’re wondering what comes next, buckle up. The Sunrise Countdown is on the horizon, and it’s not pulling any punches. So, spoilers ahead.
The Movie Didn’t Show Everything
The plot of Infinity Castle is far too extensive to be contained in a single movie. Like getting one piece of cake while the entire bakery is still in the back, what you just witnessed was just the beginning. There are still important battles, significant fatalities, and Muzan’s pivotal moment to come. This means that until the final Sunrise Countdown, fans should get ready for more films in the trilogy, each of which will cover a different portion of this arc. To put it briefly, what you’ve seen is only the beginning.
Muzan: Still Breathing, Still Terrifying
Here’s the kicker—Muzan survives the chaos. He’s not defeated in the Infinity Castle. He escapes, setting the stage for the Sunrise Countdown arc. And once the castle collapses, the fight moves to the surface, with Muzan running against time (and sunlight) while the Demon Slayer Corps throws everything at him. This is where things get absolutely wild. Imagine the final boss fight of every video game you’ve ever played, then crank the stakes to “save humanity.”
Kokushibo Enters the Spotlight
After Akaza leaves, Kokushibo, the most powerful of the Upper Moons, takes centre stage. His battle with the terrifying trio of Muichiro Tokito, Genya Shinazugawa, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and Gyomei Himejima starts in Chapter 174 of the manga. Blood splatters, secrets blow up, and swords clash in this battle of pure chaos. We discover that Kokushibo is actually Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s brother, which is a startling connection that directly connects to Sun Breathing’s beginnings.
Nakime’s Collapse
Remember Nakime, the demon who plays the biwa and governs the shifting walls of the Infinity Castle? She dies in Chapter 176 as a result of Yushiro’s intervention. After she passes away, the castle becomes powerless and begins to crumble. The arc is completely turned upside down at this point; the battlefield is suddenly disintegrating, scattering fighters and putting everyone in even greater danger.
This will look amazing when viewed on screen. Anticipate that the anime will make the scene of the crumbling Infinity Castle one of the most visually stunning in the entire series. The Infinity Castle movie may feel like a climax, but the manga proves it’s only the middle of the storm. Kokushibo’s reveal, heartbreaking Hashira deaths, Nakime’s fall, and Muzan’s escape are still waiting to shake the fandom. What comes next isn’t just another battle—it’s the beginning of the end.
Expect chills, even greater animation, and a storyline worth every award.
