Following the events of the fourth season, the first part of the film takes the demon slayers into Kibutsuji’s Infinity Castle and separates them. He unleashes the rest of his Lower Rank and Upper Rank demons, hoping to eliminate them all. Each of the characters are forced to fight against powerful foes that push them to their limits.
Based on the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba follows Tanjiro Kamado’s quest to turn his sister, Nezuko, back into a human after she was transformed into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji, the sadistic progenitor of all demons in existence. The series first inspired an animated season but the sheer popularity and animation quality done by Studio Ufotable has shot Demon Slayer into worldwide fame.
