[00:00] so Demon Slayer season 4 or the hash
[00:02] training Arc is over we know where it
[00:04] ends I was exactly right in my
[00:06] prediction that I made a few days ago
[00:08] exactly what chapter it would end
[00:10] exactly the scene it would end and now
[00:12] I'm going to try to predict how they're
[00:14] going to split the movies apart so
[00:15] spoiler warning I'm going to spoil not
[00:18] exactly everything I'm going to spoil
[00:20] some like what fights are going to take
[00:22] place what the order of those fights may
[00:25] be and just some general details like
[00:28] that uh if you want to go in completely
[00:30] blind to these movies then uh fair
[00:32] warning I will be giving up a few
[00:34] details but if you already know the
[00:36] story and you just want to kind of enter
[00:38] this discussion on what chapters will be
[00:40] covered in which movies out of the three
[00:42] Trilogy that we know we're getting now
[00:45] uh then this videoos for you so I have
[00:48] mentioned before that I think the idea
[00:50] of a Trilogy is fine and I think it
[00:52] works except for there's one big problem
[00:54] and that is that the first like
[00:56] two-thirds of this story really have no
[01:00] Middle Point there's a kind of further
[01:03] into the story point you could do but
[01:05] that would leave the second movie being
[01:07] very short so today what I'm going to
[01:10] try to do is I'm going to take all the
[01:11] fights that are in this
[01:13] final Saga here and then I'm going to
[01:16] split them up and to put them into each
[01:19] movie that will make the story make
[01:22] sense cinematically make sense and I
[01:25] think we'll just make the best story and
[01:28] the best
[01:30] thematic experience that we can possibly
[01:33] get now obviously uh one big thing is
[01:36] that we're going to probably get anime
[01:38] original stuff we have already uh some
[01:40] of the stuff at the end of the hashira
[01:42] training Arc is original uh the stuff to
[01:45] where it basically sucked in all of the
[01:48] other uh demon Slayers that really
[01:50] wasn't in the manga we knew it happened
[01:52] but it wasn't there especially to the
[01:55] extent that it was uh we get kind of
[01:57] this few panels but that's it with this
[02:01] we got multiple minutes of seeing this
[02:04] uh same thing with muan arriving at the
[02:06] ubay yashi Mansion we got multiple
[02:08] minutes of him getting there we got some
[02:10] extra bits there like I said in my one
[02:12] video the explosion that was one panel
[02:16] in the manga is a whole sequence and I
[02:20] think we're going to get more like that
[02:22] as the story progresses we're going to
[02:24] go from what was one chapter will now be
[02:28] maybe 10 minutes of screen time and I
[02:31] think that's warranted and I think some
[02:33] fights are going to be much longer much
[02:35] more drawn out and not in a bad way I
[02:38] think they're going to be put more you
[02:39] know effort into them and I think
[02:41] they're going to be made even better for
[02:45] the TV or now theater experience so
[02:49] let's start off with movie one now to me
[02:52] to make the movies the most enjoyable
[02:55] all the way through we need to have one
[02:57] big fight and we need to have one minor
[03:00] fight uh if we have two big fights in
[03:02] one movie I think they're going to
[03:03] overshadow one another we need to have
[03:05] one that kind of is a background fight
[03:07] and one that is a major fight and I
[03:09] think also we're going to add in in each
[03:11] movie we're going to kind of give a
[03:12] update as to what our other characters
[03:14] are doing now can't do that on all of
[03:17] them we'll get to that but I think for
[03:20] Simplicity sake that makes the most
[03:22] sense until we get to that third movie
[03:23] that third movie Just changes everything
[03:25] so let's start off with talking about
[03:26] what fights I think will be covered in
[03:28] the first two movies movies so the first
[03:31] one of those is zenitsu's fight uh
[03:33] zenitsu encounters someone from his past
[03:36] and uh we find out more about why he is
[03:39] the way he is right now those the
[03:41] discovery he found out in the letter we
[03:43] discover all of that so the fight with
[03:46] him is a major point in his character
[03:48] Arc it is pretty much the final Arc of
[03:50] him and uh we I think that will be in
[03:53] the first movie I think that's going to
[03:54] be the minor fight of the first movie
[03:56] and I think it will be a very important
[03:58] scene and I think this is the fight that
[04:00] can be the most added on to I think we
[04:03] can get a lot of interesting stuff in
[04:05] this fight uh it's probably the shortest
[04:09] fight out of the entire uh
[04:11] manga Infinity Arc Infinity Castle Arc
[04:14] but I think this one we can kind of make
[04:16] it a little longer because we're going
[04:18] to cut between this fight and the next
[04:21] fight which I had to debate do I want
[04:25] there's there's the upper Moon two and
[04:26] then there's the upper Moon three which
[04:28] is aaza
[04:30] do I want to put the upper Moon 3 in the
[04:33] first movie or put the upper Moon 2 in
[04:35] the first movie I think the better idea
[04:39] is to put the upper Moon 3 aaza in the
[04:43] first movie and by doing that we're
[04:45] going to move everything from the upper
[04:48] Moon 2 fight to the second movie that
[04:50] means we're going to have to rearrange
[04:51] some of the chapters because uh shobu
[04:54] encounters the upper Moon 2 very early
[04:57] on is before pretty much anything it is
[04:59] like two chapters into where we are now
[05:03] we are currently at chapter 140 uh the
[05:05] upper Moon 2 fight starts at like
[05:07] chapter 142 so it would be immediately
[05:11] the upper Moon 2 fight and I don't think
[05:14] that really works because the upper Moon
[05:15] 2 fight actually goes on for quite a
[05:19] while until chapter 164 and I don't
[05:22] think we can put 24 chapters into one
[05:26] movie and I think it's it's obvious the
[05:28] zenitsu fight is going to have happened
[05:29] in the first movie that's just it it
[05:31] makes the most sense so we're going to
[05:33] have to put that there so there's no way
[05:36] we can put the upper Moon 2 and the
[05:38] upper Moon 3 in the same movie so by
[05:42] doing that I think upper Moon 3 works
[05:44] much better in that first movie we get
[05:46] arono and guu fight in that movie and
[05:50] then we get the uh Kane or cono and U an
[05:57] oske fight with the upper Moon 2 in the
[05:59] second movie I think that just works you
[06:01] know much better I think then we can
[06:04] maybe this shobu stuff is the final
[06:06] scene of the first movie I think that
[06:09] would be a great like Cliffhanger and
[06:11] this is where I think we're going to
[06:12] have the biggest change from the manga
[06:14] to the anime and that we're going to
[06:17] have to rearrange stuff we're going to
[06:19] have to add some scenes so that we can
[06:21] we got a cliffhanger from the higher
[06:23] training Arc into the movies now we're
[06:26] going to have to have another point to
[06:28] where it's like hey guys we're not done
[06:30] this was just the first movie time for
[06:32] the next movie and I think this is where
[06:35] we're going to end the first movie with
[06:38] uh we're going to move the scenes with
[06:39] shinobu meeting the upper Moon 2 we're
[06:42] going to move them from the beginning of
[06:45] this Arc we're going to move it to the
[06:47] end of the first movie and shinobu will
[06:50] walk in she'll have her things and
[06:53] spoiler here shinobu is going to be
[06:56] killed in the end of the first movie and
[06:59] then I think we will have uh cono come
[07:02] in and she will be able she will begin
[07:05] her fight at the end of the first movie
[07:08] leading us into the second movie so then
[07:10] we get to the second movie and this is
[07:12] the most interesting part of the story
[07:14] because pretty much this second movie is
[07:17] not going to have Tano in it at all and
[07:20] I think that's a very interesting thing
[07:22] because pretty much Tano is our main
[07:24] character Tano has been our it's your
[07:28] bread and butter when you think of
[07:29] demons say you're thinking of Tano or
[07:31] you're thinking of nezo neither one of
[07:33] them are going to be in this movie
[07:34] pretty much at all because they just
[07:36] aren't in these two fights so what we're
[07:39] going to do second movie We're going to
[07:41] have the upper Moon 2 and the upper Moon
[07:43] one and we're going to have to split it
[07:44] up a little bit because it's if we load
[07:49] the front end with upper Moon 2 and then
[07:52] the last half is the upper Moon one I
[07:54] think it will seem a bit kind of hard to
[07:57] do that so what I'm thinking is we start
[07:59] with upper Moon 2 but then we cut to
[08:01] Upper Moon one and we start to have the
[08:03] upper Moon one fight we end about the
[08:06] upper Moon two or we we the upper Moon
[08:09] two fight will end about three4 of the
[08:12] way through and then the final like 20
[08:15] minutes is just upper Moon one fight
[08:18] because that is the big climactic scene
[08:21] of the movie I think it's fine if the
[08:23] upper Moon 2 fight ends pretty quickly
[08:25] so that way we can get on with the final
[08:28] the big fight there now this does mean
[08:32] that the second movie will be pretty
[08:34] much a blood bath uh and it will be the
[08:37] uh deadliest movie of all of them um
[08:41] because it does not go well and we get
[08:43] obviously like I just said shobu will
[08:45] die in the first movie so I think we're
[08:47] g to you know it'll cover that again
[08:50] kind of like how we're going to cover
[08:52] the entrance to the infinity castle like
[08:54] the final scene of the hashir training
[08:56] Arc will be the first scene of the first
[08:59] movie I think we're going to get the
[09:01] final scene with shinobu will be the
[09:03] first scene of the second movie and I
[09:06] think then obviously we got one that's
[09:09] already dead with shobu and then we're
[09:11] going to have more and more and more
[09:13] characters that just start biting the
[09:15] dust throughout that and I think this is
[09:17] the movie where you're kind of start to
[09:20] realize we're not going to get out of
[09:22] this without some major character deaths
[09:26] so going through the upper Moon one and
[09:29] the upper Moon 2 fight we end those and
[09:32] so now we have to figure out how we go
[09:35] from the second movie to the third movie
[09:38] and I think this is the easiest part I
[09:40] think this was very obvious to me as to
[09:42] where you start that third movie and
[09:44] it's pretty much muon reappearing uh
[09:47] muon kind of disappears for the first
[09:49] like two-thirds of this story um and
[09:52] then he reappears and that's whenever we
[09:54] kind of get all of this you know what's
[09:58] happening and everything and this is
[10:00] where I think we are going to end the
[10:02] first movie is mus on reappearing and
[10:05] then we will just cut there now I think
[10:10] there is a few spots you could cut um I
[10:12] think the best one is if you just say
[10:14] hey all right upper Moon one is dead
[10:16] upper Moon 2 is dead but muan still
[10:19] there here's muon final movie here we
[10:22] go I think you could also end it with
[10:25] the infinity Castle being destroyed um
[10:28] which would mean the upper moon for is
[10:29] is defeated um the upper Moon 4 fight is
[10:31] very very brief uh it's pretty much the
[10:34] same length as the zenitsu fight um and
[10:37] I think uh it it works best as just
[10:41] being a first scene of the movie so I
[10:47] think you know it or the third movie I
[10:49] think that works the best I think as a
[10:52] thematic thing it just gives you this
[10:54] kind of okay brief fight we're not going
[10:57] straight into the mus on fight I don't
[10:58] think that really would work so it's
[11:00] kind of an opening scene we get the
[11:02] upper Moon 4 fight and then that's the
[11:04] final upper Moon that is gone uh we get
[11:06] that one defeated and then we the
[11:08] infinity Castle is completely destroyed
[11:10] at that point we are outside and then we
[11:13] are pretty much in the sunrise Arc so
[11:15] this would mean that the final three
[11:16] volumes of the manga are all in this
[11:19] final movie and I'm not going to go into
[11:22] Major Spoilers here about what happens
[11:24] at the very end but obviously you can
[11:26] kind of assume that muan is defeated so
[11:29] I think all of this is going to happen
[11:30] in the final movie but I think the final
[11:34] movie is going to have the most anime
[11:36] original content especially the epilog
[11:39] especially the final stuff because there
[11:41] is some questions that have never really
[11:44] been answered uh especially with the
[11:47] fact that uh it's pretty much we've
[11:50] heard it before that if you get the
[11:52] Demon Slayer Mark you are going to die
[11:54] before a certain age and that plays a
[11:56] role in this final uh Arc here but it
[11:59] never is explained that if whenever muan
[12:03] is defeated if that still Reigns true or
[12:06] if that Cur is broken so I think that's
[12:09] where we got to really look into it and
[12:12] see if they make any changes to clarify
[12:16] that or if they change it because right
[12:18] now a lot of people assume they still
[12:19] will um but I think some people might
[12:21] say no uh they that's all gone once M on
[12:26] is defeated so I think either way I
[12:28] think that needs to be explained and I
[12:29] think it will be by an epilog so as for
[12:34] like runtime of these I would say first
[12:37] movie you're going to look at probably
[12:38] right at about two hours I think two
[12:40] hours makes the most sense you're going
[12:42] to introduce the characters the world
[12:44] again um just get the general audience
[12:46] if they haven't been here since M Train
[12:48] you're going to kind of get them up to
[12:49] speed where we're at and then all right
[12:52] here we go again we're in the infinity
[12:54] Castle do the zenitsu fight do the upper
[12:56] Moon three there you go and I think
[12:59] think that way putting the upper Moon 3
[13:00] fight in that first movie if you do have
[13:03] people that weren't here since mugan
[13:04] train they're like I remember that guy I
[13:07] don't like that guy we're going to kill
[13:08] him and there you go and then they're
[13:10] hooked for the next movie so then moving
[13:13] on to movie two I think that one you're
[13:16] probably talking about an hour and 40
[13:17] minutes I just don't think you could
[13:19] make it much longer and my reasoning is
[13:22] is because that upper Moon 2 fight is
[13:24] probably a little longer than the upper
[13:26] Moon one fight yeah the upper Moon one
[13:28] fight has got a lot lot of just it it's
[13:31] really good it's a really good fight now
[13:33] I personally I think the best fight in
[13:35] this entire Arc is the upper Moon 2
[13:36] fight that's a separate fact but I think
[13:40] that upper Moon one fight has some
[13:42] really interesting details it's got some
[13:44] really hard hitting moment I think all
[13:47] of that is a great point but I still
[13:51] think that that whole point there is
[13:55] still going to only be probably the
[13:58] upper Moon 2 fight is probably going to
[14:00] be right at about 40 minutes the upper
[14:02] Moon one fight is going to be right at
[14:04] probably 40 minutes as well that gives
[14:06] you about 20 extra minutes to introduce
[14:09] uh muon as well as well as you know
[14:12] having the shobou scene from the
[14:13] original or from the first movie that
[14:15] you're going to put on this one I just
[14:17] think that works the best but then that
[14:19] gets us on to the final movie and I
[14:20] think the final movie is going to be
[14:21] like two hours and 20 minutes I think
[14:23] it's going to be quite long and I think
[14:26] the biggest reason for that is Anime
[14:27] original content you're just going to
[14:29] have a lot of stuff I think they're
[14:31] going to want to add on to the end of
[14:33] this story nothing that is unnecessary I
[14:36] think it's all going to be necessary
[14:37] stuff that probably was not thought of
[14:40] for the manga or just stuff that they
[14:43] want to clarify from the manga like I
[14:45] mentioned before so I think all of that
[14:48] will be put into the final movie I think
[14:52] it makes most sense there you're going
[14:53] to have a lot of like kind of I don't
[14:57] want to say grieving
[14:59] but like celebration and I think I think
[15:02] you need that at the end of that movie
[15:04] so I think the
[15:06] first hour and a half is going to be the
[15:09] fight the Muson fight and then the final
[15:13] like 30 to 40 minutes is going to be
[15:18] talking about the end of that wrapping
[15:20] up nezo wrapping up Tano wrapping up
[15:24] everything like that going over the
[15:26] characters that have died we're going to
[15:29] have to have all of that and then we're
[15:31] going to talk about the epilogue I think
[15:33] the epilog will be pretty much identical
[15:38] to what we see in the manga except I'm
[15:41] going to go out on a limb and say that
[15:43] we're going to get a narrator for the
[15:45] epilog the epilog's got a lot of panels
[15:48] that are just
[15:49] like this is who this is this is who
[15:53] this is this is who this is we can't
[15:56] really do that and the way the
[15:59] characters are designed in the epilog
[16:01] you're going to need a little bit of a
[16:04] description because some of them may be
[16:06] confused with other characters I was the
[16:08] first time I read it so I think you're
[16:12] definitely going to have to have a
[16:14] narrator to kind of just go over
[16:17] everything and I don't know who you make
[16:20] the narrator do you make it uh you know
[16:22] one person from the past do you make it
[16:24] one of these new characters I don't know
[16:26] uh this is something that I think we'll
[16:27] have to look into as we get closer maybe
[16:30] it's something that I'm completely off
[16:31] on and we don't need a narrator maybe
[16:33] they'll just put little speech bubbles
[16:34] or something I don't know but I
[16:36] definitely think you need some sort of
[16:38] narrator at the finale and I think that
[16:40] will really make that movie just so much
[16:43] better and that's about it obviously we
[16:46] are probably about a year away from this
[16:50] first movie I think it will be early
[16:52] next year that we get that first movie I
[16:54] think the second movie will be fall of
[16:56] next year and then I think the third and
[16:59] final movie will be summer of 2026 I
[17:02] think we're going to get them probably
[17:04] about 6 to eight months apart being that
[17:07] it's June now I think probably February
[17:10] will be the first one then we're going
[17:12] to get another one probably around
[17:14] October is and then the final one will
[17:17] be probably around April so we'll see
[17:20] how all that turns out um obviously I
[17:23] know that there have been uh people
[17:24] saying that Demon Slayer production is
[17:26] way ahead of where they need to be so
[17:29] they probably could release all three of
[17:30] them next year if they wanted to I don't
[17:32] think that's in their best interest I
[17:34] think their best interest is to do them
[17:36] kind of spread out not very far uh you
[17:38] can't do them like Star Wars to where
[17:39] you do one every like three years or two
[17:41] years because people would just lose
[17:43] interest they would get bored of it and
[17:46] your audience right now you're you've
[17:47] got a younger audience so younger
[17:50] audiences move on to new things very
[17:52] quickly so if you keep them like hey
[17:55] remember this from you know a year ago
[17:58] here's the next movie here's the next
[18:00] movie here's the next movie if you split
[18:01] it out over six years you're going to
[18:02] lose a lot of your Audience by that
[18:04] final movie so you're going to have to
[18:05] Bam Bam Bam get them out and I think
[18:07] they're going to do that so anyway
[18:09] that's pretty much it um what did you
[18:11] think do you think uh it will be what I
[18:14] said do you think they're going to move
[18:15] the fights do you think they're just
[18:16] going to split it up we're going to get
[18:18] the first half of the upper Moon 2 fight
[18:20] in that first movie and then we're going
[18:21] to get the second half of it in that
[18:23] second movie I just don't see how that's
[18:25] going to work that's going to be so much
[18:26] content in that first movie and then a
[18:28] very
[18:29] upper Moon one heavy second movie and I
[18:32] just don't think that'll work um do you
[18:33] think the upper Moon three fight will be
[18:35] in the first movie or the second F or
[18:37] movie let me know down below what you
[18:39] think I think I think what I laid out is
[18:41] the best possible way you can do it but
[18:44] like I said I don't know I I was right
[18:46] about the hasher training stuff but this
[18:48] is a whole another animal um but if we
[18:51] get any more information on this um I
[18:53] will make another video or I will talk
[18:55] about it on my podcast so go ahead and
[18:57] like And subscribe and I we'll talk
