[0:00] I am positive that no matter what Eupfo
[0:02] Table gives us, this is going to be a
[0:04] masterpiece. But that doesn't change the
[0:05] fact that I'm still just a little bit
[0:07] worried about
[0:14] pacing. What is up everyone? Welcome
[0:16] back to the channel and to another
[0:17] video. Today we are going to be doing a
[0:19] deep dive into the movie trilogy that
[0:22] has been announced for Demon Slayer. Of
[0:24] course, a couple weeks ago, it was
[0:25] announced that the first movie is coming
[0:27] out in July in Japan and then August and
[0:30] September throughout the world. If you
[0:31] haven't seen all that news, go to the
[0:33] video right here. I'll I'll link it
[0:35] right here so you know kind of
[0:36] everything that's been going on. You can
[0:38] stay up to date on all the Demon Slayer
[0:39] news. I've made a couple videos where
[0:41] I've talked a little bit about my
[0:43] thoughts and my feelings on how this is
[0:45] going to be adapted, but I don't think
[0:46] I've done like a super deep dive into
[0:49] how I think they're going to adapt the
[0:51] rest of the story and how I think each
[0:52] movie is going to be adapted. So, we're
[0:54] going to do that in this video. I've
[0:55] gotten a lot of requests for that
[0:56] actually. So, no time like the present.
[0:59] Right now, before we dive into today's
[1:00] video, I'm doing a deep dive into stuff
[1:02] that has not been animated yet. So, if
[1:04] you are not a manga reader and you do
[1:06] not want to get spoiled, this is your
[1:07] chance to turn back now. I will be very
[1:09] open about manga spoilers in this video
[1:12] and talking about things that will
[1:13] happen all the way at the end of the
[1:14] story. So, please make sure that if you
[1:16] do not want to get spoiled, you put a
[1:17] pin in this video, come back to it later
[1:19] when you read the manga or finish the
[1:22] anime. You can check back, see what I
[1:23] said, how close I was, or just get my
[1:25] thoughts once you've read it. And before
[1:27] we dive into today's video, don't forget
[1:28] to like the video, subscribe to the
[1:29] channel, and leave a comment your
[1:30] thoughts on how this is going to be
[1:32] adapted. Just keep it respectful as per
[1:34] usual. I love good, healthy debates. If
[1:36] you disagree with me, that is totally
[1:37] cool. I just ask that you're not
[1:38] disrespectful about it. You can also
[1:40] follow me on social media. I am Hannah
[1:42] on Instagram. This is going to be more
[1:44] for my cosplay content, my figure
[1:46] skating content, and also it's going to
[1:47] be probably the first platform to get
[1:49] all of my Japan content as I get it.
[1:51] Keep in mind, I leave in less than 3
[1:53] weeks. So, that's going to have a lot of
[1:55] that fun stuff on there. And then, if
[1:56] you're more interested in my random
[1:58] thoughts throughout the day, my Demon
[2:00] Slayer short form content, you can
[2:02] follow me at looking nerdy on X and Tik
[2:04] Tok. But with that, let's get into it.
[2:06] Okay, so I first really want to talk
[2:08] just about how I think the rest of the
[2:11] story is going to get adapted because
[2:12] there is a lot of back and forth and
[2:14] what I think is going to happen here is
[2:15] going to affect my predictions of how
[2:17] these movies are going to go. So I feel
[2:19] like I have to first talk about that and
[2:21] then I'll talk about where I think each
[2:23] movie is going to end, what I think it's
[2:25] going to have and that sort of thing.
[2:27] So, it's first very important to note
[2:29] that Eufotable and Anniplex have been
[2:32] very upfront in stating that this movie
[2:34] trilogy covers Infinity Castle arc.
[2:36] Their entire time that they've been
[2:38] doing this story since the beginning,
[2:40] they have always said arc by arc. Come
[2:44] out of Tanjido Unwavering Resolve Arc,
[2:46] not season 1, Kamado Tanjido unwavering
[2:48] resolve arc. Muggan train, not season
[2:51] two, Mugan Train, Entertainment District
[2:53] Arc, not season 3, Entertainment
[2:55] District arc. so on and so forth. They
[2:58] don't combine arcs ever. They literally
[3:01] have never done that. Even Hashida
[3:03] Training, which many people felt should
[3:06] have been combined with Swordsmith
[3:07] Village, got its own standalone arc.
[3:11] Eufo Table and Anniplex, if they are one
[3:13] thing, they are consistent. They are
[3:14] always very consistent in how they do
[3:17] things, in the way that they do their
[3:19] marketing and the way that they release
[3:21] their seasons and the way they announce
[3:23] things. Everything is always the same.
[3:25] And for this, they have been stating
[3:27] that it is the Infinity Castle Arc movie
[3:29] trilogy. For those of you who don't
[3:31] know, which I hope you do if you're
[3:33] still watching this video, since I
[3:34] already put a manga spoiler, but I'm
[3:35] once again reminding everyone, I'm about
[3:37] to say huge manga spoilers. This is your
[3:40] last chance to turn away now. But there
[3:41] is an arc after Infinity Castle arc, and
[3:44] that is the Sunrise Countdown Arc. These
[3:46] are two arcs that are part of the same
[3:48] battle technically. However, Sunrise
[3:51] Count Arc is not Infinity Castle arc
[3:53] because it doesn't take place in the
[3:54] Infinity Castle arc. The final part of
[3:56] the battle takes place outside because
[3:58] the only way to defeat Muzan is to have
[4:01] him in the sun, which they can't do in
[4:02] the Infinity Castle. So, they got to get
[4:04] out of it at some point, right? So, that
[4:06] alone just tells me that the movie
[4:08] trilogy is going to cover just Infinity
[4:10] Castle arc just based off of Eufo
[4:12] Table's history with how they've done
[4:14] this show in general. On top of that, I
[4:16] want to give you some numbers here. So,
[4:19] we are at the end of 139, meaning the
[4:22] first movie is going to start with 140.
[4:24] And there are 205 chapters total in this
[4:27] story, meaning there are 65 chapters
[4:30] that we have to adapt still to go.
[4:32] Muggan Train was 12 chapters and they
[4:35] filled that with an hour and 40 minutes.
[4:38] So, we're talking roughly 21 to 22
[4:41] chapters per movie if they are planning
[4:43] on doing Infinity Castle and Sunrise
[4:46] Countdown in this movie trilogy. And
[4:48] that just seems like a lot, especially
[4:50] because Sunrise Countdown, while it is a
[4:52] very good final arc, most people can
[4:55] agree it was a little bit rushed. I
[4:58] think they would be doing the story a
[5:00] disservice if they squeezed all 65
[5:03] chapters into three movies. Unless these
[5:05] movies are two and a half hours long,
[5:07] which I also don't really see them
[5:09] doing. That's not super common. Like, no
[5:11] matter what way I shake it, like it
[5:13] makes me stressed thinking about them
[5:15] trying to squeeze a bunch of battles
[5:17] into one movie and squeeze all 65
[5:20] chapters into three movies. Like in my
[5:22] opinion, that will do a disservice to
[5:24] this story and will make the ending more
[5:26] lackluster than it should be because
[5:29] they're just squeezing for time. And
[5:31] that does genuinely worry me because for
[5:33] those of you who don't know, the first
[5:36] leak where someone that knew something
[5:39] was production somehow, they tweeted
[5:41] that Demon Slayer was getting a movie
[5:43] trilogy, I think it was back in the
[5:45] summer of 2023, they stated that that
[5:48] movie trilogy would be the end. They
[5:50] were saying that movie trilogy is the
[5:52] end of the story. But this was before
[5:54] even Hashida training had come out or
[5:56] anything like that. So it was just kind
[5:58] of assumed that there would be Hashida
[6:01] training maybe a season that covers a
[6:04] lot of Infinity Castle and then movie
[6:05] trilogy or something along those lines.
[6:07] But now that we know where Hashida
[6:09] training ended within the anime, it just
[6:12] doesn't seem realistic to me. I don't
[6:14] think that that leak was perfectly
[6:16] correct in saying that yes, obviously we
[6:18] know it's a movie trilogy that they were
[6:20] right there, but I don't think it's
[6:21] ending with the trilogy. There is a lot
[6:23] of question as to why they would do a
[6:26] movie trilogy and then do a fourth movie
[6:29] or a season after that. That doesn't
[6:31] make a ton of sense. However,
[6:34] pacingwise, that makes the most sense
[6:36] because I don't think y'all realize 20
[6:38] to 22 chapters per movie. That pacing is
[6:42] so fast. Like that is just Eufo Table
[6:46] loves to add anime original content. I
[6:49] think there needs to be anime original
[6:50] content at least in the Sunrise
[6:53] Countdown arc. I just I'm I'm stressed
[6:56] thinking about the story ending. And I
[6:58] know like at the end of the day, I do
[7:00] trust EUO Table and I think that there
[7:02] is very much a way that it can still
[7:04] work out if they do it that way. But I
[7:07] do fear for the pacing. I do fear for
[7:12] how rushed it'll feel when it already
[7:14] felt rushed in the manga. To put this
[7:16] into like to cement my opinion, I do
[7:19] believe just Infinity Castle is getting
[7:22] this movie trilogy and then Sunrise
[7:24] Countdown will get something after that.
[7:26] We are not going to know. They are not
[7:29] going to announce anything along those
[7:30] lines until like the third movie comes
[7:33] out though because that's the way they
[7:34] do things every single time. It's always
[7:36] been the day of the season finale of an
[7:38] arc where they announce how they're
[7:40] adapting the next arc. So for reference,
[7:43] the day of the season finale of
[7:44] Entertainment District, they announced
[7:46] that Swordsmith Village was going to get
[7:48] a TV season. And then on the day of the
[7:51] season finale of Swordsman Village, they
[7:52] announced that Hashida Training was
[7:54] going to get a TV season. The day of the
[7:56] Hashida Training season finale, they
[7:58] announced that Infinity Castle was going
[7:59] to get a movie trilogy. So, we're not
[8:01] going to get any announcements probably
[8:03] till that third movie hits theaters,
[8:04] which is probably at least 3 years away.
[8:07] So, we're not going to know that answer
[8:10] for a long time. However, I do think
[8:12] after the first movie, we'll have a much
[8:16] more solidified idea because we'll know
[8:19] what that movie covered and we'll be
[8:22] able to kind of do the math and be able
[8:24] to determine if they got enough done
[8:26] where it's just going to be a trilogy to
[8:28] the end or if they didn't get enough
[8:29] done. And it's obvious that Sunrise
[8:31] Countdown's going to be its own entity.
[8:33] My personal opinion is Infinity Castle
[8:36] movie trilogy and then Sunrise Countdown
[8:38] a
[8:39] secondary season. I would like a season
[8:42] honestly. I think it needs more than a
[8:43] movie because again it's like 20
[8:45] chapters long. Cramming that into a
[8:47] movie is only going to make the most
[8:48] rushed arc in this story more rushed
[8:50] which would not be good. Okay, so with
[8:52] the idea that just Infinity Castle will
[8:54] be this movie trilogy, let's break down
[8:56] the first movie. So, like I said, the
[8:58] end of Hashida training ended with 139
[9:01] and Infinity Castle starts with 140. The
[9:03] chapter of 140 has a lot of check-ins.
[9:06] We pretty much check in with every
[9:07] character. It starts with Tanjido and
[9:09] Gu. And they have to kind of work their
[9:12] way through some lower ranked demons. It
[9:15] says that they have the strength of
[9:17] lower moons, but because Tanjido is
[9:19] hosted level at this point, they're able
[9:21] to get through them fairly quickly. Can
[9:23] they add some to this just because they
[9:26] want to probably spend a lot of time
[9:27] with Tanjido to remind us that he's the
[9:29] main character? Yes. But I don't think
[9:31] it's going to take that much time. I
[9:33] think that probably will be with Tanjino
[9:35] and Guu at the very beginning for about
[9:37] fiveish minutes. And then it just kind
[9:39] of very briefly shows each character as
[9:42] they kind of run to their respective
[9:45] fights. It also shows Sonomy totally
[9:48] crashing out, which I'm actually very
[9:49] excited to see. Guyome also has some
[9:52] dialogue where he's talking about
[9:54] Kagaya, but then like Genya, Enoske,
[9:57] Zenitsu, and all them just get a very
[9:58] brief panel where we just see them
[10:00] running somewhere before we get to the
[10:03] heart of I think this first movie, Shobu
[10:05] versus Doma. Now, Shobu versus Doma is a
[10:08] fight that is fairly quick. It only
[10:10] takes place about two and a half
[10:12] chapters, but I can definitely see them
[10:16] adding time to this one, especially
[10:18] because we finally really dig into
[10:20] Shobu's backstory. And if there's one
[10:22] thing Eufo Table loves, they love
[10:24] spending time on backstories. So, even
[10:27] though it's only two and a half pages,
[10:29] and I'm talking about from the time
[10:31] Shobu walks in and sees Doma to the time
[10:34] that Kana like starts to crash out. She
[10:37] walks in, she does her first attack,
[10:39] Doma teases her, we see her get angry,
[10:41] but then we go to Zenitu. So, I'm
[10:43] talking about from the time that it goes
[10:45] to Zenitu, I still think that'll
[10:47] probably take at least 30 minutes with
[10:50] some added anime original content before
[10:53] we head into Zenitu versus Kaku. Now,
[10:55] when it comes to Zenitu versus Kaaku, a
[10:58] lot of people on the internet think this
[11:00] arc or this battle really deserves more
[11:03] time and it needs a little bit extra
[11:05] content than what it got in the manga. I
[11:08] don't know if I necessarily agree with
[11:09] that. I think thematically the point of
[11:11] this 1v one is that Zenitzu claps Kyaku
[11:14] very quickly because he pulled out a
[11:16] move that Kyaku had absolutely no way of
[11:18] predicting would happen. It is to show
[11:20] that Zenitsu has gotten stronger than
[11:23] this guy that thought he was stronger
[11:24] than Zanitsu this entire time, which
[11:26] then led him to become a demon. So, I
[11:28] think that the whole point of this is
[11:30] that it's supposed to happen quickly,
[11:32] but I do still think that they will add
[11:35] to the backstory. We see more of
[11:37] Zenitu's backstory. We see Kaaku meet up
[11:41] with Kokibbo, which I thought was
[11:43] probably going to get a little bit more
[11:44] time cuz that's important. And I do
[11:46] think they're going to give it a little
[11:47] bit more time when Zenitsu sees Gramps
[11:50] like in the afterlife when he's close to
[11:52] death. But from the time that Zenitu
[11:53] shows up to the time that Yoshiro saves
[11:55] him and we move on from it is also about
[11:58] two and a half chapters with a brief
[12:01] touch base with Tanido and Guu like in
[12:04] the middle of that as well. So I think
[12:06] that is also going to take about 30ish
[12:09] minutes. And I forgot to mention that I
[12:11] think altogether that brief check-in of
[12:13] that first chapter is probably going to
[12:15] take altogether about 10 minutesish. I
[12:17] can just see them really taking their
[12:19] time with checking in with each
[12:21] character to remind us that this is a
[12:23] battle of everyone, not just focusing on
[12:26] the one person, like the one battle that
[12:28] we're going to focus on for a little
[12:29] while. So, we're already at an hour and
[12:32] 10 minutes of run time. And in my
[12:35] opinion, those predictions are on the
[12:36] low end. I really do think they might
[12:38] add to it and might it it might really
[12:41] be like 40 minutes for each battle which
[12:44] would then add another 20 minutes to
[12:45] that run time which brings us to an hour
[12:47] and a half which is pretty much going to
[12:50] be I think the runtime of the first
[12:52] movie. Now, after the end of the battle
[12:56] of Zenitu versus Kaaku, we do have Akaza
[13:00] show up and then we see Tamayo begging
[13:04] for for them to hurry up because she's
[13:06] going to get absorbed and she's not
[13:07] going to be able to hang on for much
[13:08] longer. I think they could also space
[13:10] that out. And I think that'll be the
[13:12] end. I think that's the natural end of
[13:14] the first movie, either with Akaza just
[13:17] coming through and showing up or Tamayo
[13:20] begging them to please hurry.
[13:22] Personally, I think that both of these
[13:24] battles do need the justice of having a
[13:27] little bit of additional time,
[13:29] especially the Shinoba versus Doma. And
[13:31] I think that no matter what way I look
[13:33] at it, because both of these fights have
[13:35] a lot of backstory in it, EUO Table is
[13:38] always consistent. They're probably
[13:40] going to add a lot of runtime. And
[13:42] backstories take a lot more time than
[13:43] battles themselves because it's more
[13:46] dialogueheavy than a battle where it's
[13:48] action and it just happens very quickly.
[13:51] So truly, if I can really predict here,
[13:54] I think that the first movie will end at
[13:57] the end of chapter 147, which seems very
[14:00] short, but I think it makes sense when
[14:03] we talk about the next ones. Okay, so
[14:05] movie 2 is going to be focused heavily
[14:08] on Tanjido and Gu versus Akaza. Tanjido
[14:11] is the main character. Akaza is a demon
[14:14] that we all have beef with and Akaza has
[14:17] the longest backstory that Euo Table
[14:19] loves to take their time on. Now, the
[14:21] Tanjuno and Gu versus Akaza fight goes
[14:24] from 147 to 158. Exceptionally longer
[14:29] than the other two, that includes Akaz's
[14:32] backstory. In the case of this fight,
[14:35] this is one that I don't think they need
[14:36] to add a ton. I think it's clear that
[14:39] Goto really took their time with this
[14:42] fight. So, I don't necessarily think
[14:46] that this one is going to be that much
[14:48] longer than Shobu versus Doma and
[14:50] Zenitsu versus Kaaku because this one
[14:53] doesn't need added content. That being
[14:56] said, it still is going to take longer.
[14:59] I think it's going to be the first hour
[15:01] of the second movie just altogether.
[15:03] Very important, very long. And also just
[15:06] keep in mind from 147 to 158, we don't
[15:09] check in with anyone else until halfway
[15:10] through 157, which is when the fight of
[15:14] Akuza completely ends because after that
[15:17] we do see Kokoshibbo very briefly, but
[15:19] then we get into Kano and then Enoske
[15:21] versus Doma. And now I do think that
[15:25] this second movie will end at the end of
[15:27] chapter 162 when Doma is beheaded by
[15:31] Kano and Enoske. I think that is a
[15:34] fairly good cliffhanger. It's not the
[15:36] type of cliffhanger where it's like
[15:38] you're truly wondering where we're going
[15:40] from here. It's pretty obvious that it
[15:42] means that they defeated him, but it
[15:45] still is a cliffhanger like, "Oh my
[15:46] gosh, they got him, but what happens
[15:48] next? Is he going to die that way? Is he
[15:50] going to pull an Akaza?" So, I feel like
[15:52] that's a natural end to it, which means
[15:55] that the Doma versus Kano and Enoske
[15:59] fight would take about 45 minutes. And
[16:02] there we have an hour and 45 minutes of
[16:04] run time. Covered movie two took a lot
[16:06] less going back and forth because once
[16:08] we get to that Tanjo and Guio fight, we
[16:11] just sit there for a while. But I feel
[16:13] like that's natural because I think
[16:14] these two fights, unlike Shobu versus
[16:17] Doma and Zenitu versus Kaaku, they don't
[16:20] need as much anime original content as
[16:23] those fights do. If that sentence made
[16:25] sense. Now, that means for movie 3,
[16:27] we'll get the tail end of that fight
[16:29] where Doma gets like a little bit of
[16:31] backstory and then Shobu is like, "Come
[16:33] to hell with me, you little bastard."
[16:35] Both Enoske and Cano have severe fallout
[16:38] after this fight because it means so
[16:40] much to them. We touch base once again
[16:42] with Tano and
[16:44] Guu. Shirtless Gu. Do I have to wait
[16:47] till movie 3 for this? We'll see. We
[16:49] very briefly touch base with Mitsuri and
[16:52] Obanai versus Nakime, but I don't think
[16:54] we're going to get a lot of time on it
[16:56] because that'll be for later on in the
[16:58] movie. And then we get the fight against
[17:01] Kokosbo. The fight against Kokosbo ends
[17:04] with chapter
[17:08] 179. So that means that the Kokushibbo
[17:10] fight starts midway through 165 and goes
[17:13] to 179. So it is chapter-wise the
[17:16] longest fight of all of them. But again,
[17:19] I think this one will take about an hour
[17:21] of run time. They don't really need to
[17:23] add anything to it. There's good mix of
[17:25] backstory and action with this fight.
[17:28] So, with the brief check-ins before
[17:30] this, like the final little bit of Doma,
[17:33] the check-in with Tanido and Guu, and
[17:36] then getting to this fight through the
[17:37] end, I think we'll be at about an hour
[17:39] and 10 minutes. And after that fight, we
[17:42] of course find Muzan, and we fight back
[17:46] and forth a little bit. And then we get
[17:48] above ground and there are two places I
[17:51] can see this ending. One is a decent
[17:53] cliffhanger and the other one is a
[17:55] really mean cliffhanger and that is
[17:57] either the end of 183 where it shows
[18:00] them all like exploding above land after
[18:04] they like Yushidto kind of gets them out
[18:07] or the end of 184 with the declaration
[18:10] from man that Tanido is dead. That would
[18:13] be a very mean cliffhanger, but I think
[18:17] it could work the way they wanted to.
[18:19] But that's kind of how I see everything
[18:22] shaking out. I really think that it's
[18:24] just Shobu and Doma and then Zenitsu and
[18:27] Kaaku that needs anime original content.
[18:30] The rest of the fights don't need
[18:32] anything original. I think Infinity
[18:34] Castle is paced very well. I think that
[18:37] both Tanjido and Guio versus Akaza and
[18:40] Kokoshibbo versus all of them, I think
[18:42] both of those fights should take about
[18:44] an hour of run time. When you think
[18:46] about when they have different arcs, you
[18:49] know, you think about the fact that like
[18:51] Entertainment District technically is
[18:53] all one fight, right? From the time that
[18:55] fight starts, which is episode 4, till
[18:58] it ends, which is episode 10, that's six
[19:00] episodes of 20 minutes. So, an hour
[19:03] without any breaks really makes sense
[19:06] for those two very important fights. And
[19:09] that's why I think the run time is going
[19:10] to be about an hour. Now, I'm going to
[19:12] just throw it out there. These are just
[19:14] predictions. I could be totally off the
[19:16] mark and they could be throwing Sunrise
[19:19] Countdown into this trilogy as well. I
[19:21] just think that there's it it's going to
[19:24] be rushed through if they don't pace it
[19:27] the way I pretty much said. So, with it
[19:29] ending, I'm going to just say it now. I
[19:31] think they're going to be mean. I think
[19:32] the movie is going to end with man
[19:34] saying that Tanjido is dead. And that's
[19:36] my final answer. The first movie is
[19:38] really going to tell us a lot once that
[19:40] movie comes out and I know where it
[19:41] ends. I will definitely have a lot more
[19:44] opinions. But those are my opinions for
[19:46] now. Again, if you disagree with me,
[19:48] that's totally fine. We all have
[19:49] different ways of how they're going to
[19:50] do this. It's a fun conversation to
[19:52] have. So, if you disagree, if you agree,
[19:55] let me know in the comments below. Just
[19:56] keep it respectful. I'm totally down to
[19:58] have some debates just as long as
[19:59] they're healthy. But I think that's
[20:00] going to be it for today's video. If you
