My FULL Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Trilogy Adaption Predictions

[00:00] I am positive that no matter what Eupfo

[00:02] Table gives us, this is going to be a

[00:04] masterpiece. But that doesn't change the

[00:05] fact that I'm still just a little bit

[00:07] worried about

[00:14] pacing. What is up everyone? Welcome

[00:16] back to the channel and to another

[00:17] video. Today we are going to be doing a

[00:19] deep dive into the movie trilogy that

[00:22] has been announced for Demon Slayer. Of

[00:24] course, a couple weeks ago, it was

[00:25] announced that the first movie is coming

[00:27] out in July in Japan and then August and

[00:30] September throughout the world. If you

[00:31] haven't seen all that news, go to the

[00:33] video right here. I'll I'll link it

[00:35] right here so you know kind of

[00:36] everything that's been going on. You can

[00:38] stay up to date on all the Demon Slayer

[00:39] news. I've made a couple videos where

[00:41] I've talked a little bit about my

[00:43] thoughts and my feelings on how this is

[00:45] going to be adapted, but I don't think

[00:46] I've done like a super deep dive into

[00:49] how I think they're going to adapt the

[00:51] rest of the story and how I think each

[00:52] movie is going to be adapted. So, we're

[00:54] going to do that in this video. I've

[00:55] gotten a lot of requests for that

[00:56] actually. So, no time like the present.

[00:59] Right now, before we dive into today's

[01:00] video, I'm doing a deep dive into stuff

[01:02] that has not been animated yet. So, if

[01:04] you are not a manga reader and you do

[01:06] not want to get spoiled, this is your

[01:07] chance to turn back now. I will be very

[01:09] open about manga spoilers in this video

[01:12] and talking about things that will

[01:13] happen all the way at the end of the

[01:14] story. So, please make sure that if you

[01:16] do not want to get spoiled, you put a

[01:17] pin in this video, come back to it later

[01:19] when you read the manga or finish the

[01:22] anime. You can check back, see what I

[01:23] said, how close I was, or just get my

[01:25] thoughts once you've read it. And before

[01:27] we dive into today's video, don't forget

[01:28] to like the video, subscribe to the

[01:29] channel, and leave a comment your

[01:30] thoughts on how this is going to be

[01:32] adapted. Just keep it respectful as per

[01:34] usual. I love good, healthy debates. If

[01:36] you disagree with me, that is totally

[01:37] cool. I just ask that you're not

[01:38] disrespectful about it. You can also

[01:40] follow me on social media. I am Hannah

[01:42] on Instagram. This is going to be more

[01:44] for my cosplay content, my figure

[01:46] skating content, and also it's going to

[01:47] be probably the first platform to get

[01:49] all of my Japan content as I get it.

[01:51] Keep in mind, I leave in less than 3

[01:53] weeks. So, that's going to have a lot of

[01:55] that fun stuff on there. And then, if

[01:56] you're more interested in my random

[01:58] thoughts throughout the day, my Demon

[02:00] Slayer short form content, you can

[02:02] follow me at looking nerdy on X and Tik

[02:04] Tok. But with that, let's get into it.

[02:06] Okay, so I first really want to talk

[02:08] just about how I think the rest of the

[02:11] story is going to get adapted because

[02:12] there is a lot of back and forth and

[02:14] what I think is going to happen here is

[02:15] going to affect my predictions of how

[02:17] these movies are going to go. So I feel

[02:19] like I have to first talk about that and

[02:21] then I'll talk about where I think each

[02:23] movie is going to end, what I think it's

[02:25] going to have and that sort of thing.

[02:27] So, it's first very important to note

[02:29] that Eufotable and Anniplex have been

[02:32] very upfront in stating that this movie

[02:34] trilogy covers Infinity Castle arc.

[02:36] Their entire time that they've been

[02:38] doing this story since the beginning,

[02:40] they have always said arc by arc. Come

[02:44] out of Tanjido Unwavering Resolve Arc,

[02:46] not season 1, Kamado Tanjido unwavering

[02:48] resolve arc. Muggan train, not season

[02:51] two, Mugan Train, Entertainment District

[02:53] Arc, not season 3, Entertainment

[02:55] District arc. so on and so forth. They

[02:58] don't combine arcs ever. They literally

[03:01] have never done that. Even Hashida

[03:03] Training, which many people felt should

[03:06] have been combined with Swordsmith

[03:07] Village, got its own standalone arc.

[03:11] Eufo Table and Anniplex, if they are one

[03:13] thing, they are consistent. They are

[03:14] always very consistent in how they do

[03:17] things, in the way that they do their

[03:19] marketing and the way that they release

[03:21] their seasons and the way they announce

[03:23] things. Everything is always the same.

[03:25] And for this, they have been stating

[03:27] that it is the Infinity Castle Arc movie

[03:29] trilogy. For those of you who don't

[03:31] know, which I hope you do if you're

[03:33] still watching this video, since I

[03:34] already put a manga spoiler, but I'm

[03:35] once again reminding everyone, I'm about

[03:37] to say huge manga spoilers. This is your

[03:40] last chance to turn away now. But there

[03:41] is an arc after Infinity Castle arc, and

[03:44] that is the Sunrise Countdown Arc. These

[03:46] are two arcs that are part of the same

[03:48] battle technically. However, Sunrise

[03:51] Count Arc is not Infinity Castle arc

[03:53] because it doesn't take place in the

[03:54] Infinity Castle arc. The final part of

[03:56] the battle takes place outside because

[03:58] the only way to defeat Muzan is to have

[04:01] him in the sun, which they can't do in

[04:02] the Infinity Castle. So, they got to get

[04:04] out of it at some point, right? So, that

[04:06] alone just tells me that the movie

[04:08] trilogy is going to cover just Infinity

[04:10] Castle arc just based off of Eufo

[04:12] Table's history with how they've done

[04:14] this show in general. On top of that, I

[04:16] want to give you some numbers here. So,

[04:19] we are at the end of 139, meaning the

[04:22] first movie is going to start with 140.

[04:24] And there are 205 chapters total in this

[04:27] story, meaning there are 65 chapters

[04:30] that we have to adapt still to go.

[04:32] Muggan Train was 12 chapters and they

[04:35] filled that with an hour and 40 minutes.

[04:38] So, we're talking roughly 21 to 22

[04:41] chapters per movie if they are planning

[04:43] on doing Infinity Castle and Sunrise

[04:46] Countdown in this movie trilogy. And

[04:48] that just seems like a lot, especially

[04:50] because Sunrise Countdown, while it is a

[04:52] very good final arc, most people can

[04:55] agree it was a little bit rushed. I

[04:58] think they would be doing the story a

[05:00] disservice if they squeezed all 65

[05:03] chapters into three movies. Unless these

[05:05] movies are two and a half hours long,

[05:07] which I also don't really see them

[05:09] doing. That's not super common. Like, no

[05:11] matter what way I shake it, like it

[05:13] makes me stressed thinking about them

[05:15] trying to squeeze a bunch of battles

[05:17] into one movie and squeeze all 65

[05:20] chapters into three movies. Like in my

[05:22] opinion, that will do a disservice to

[05:24] this story and will make the ending more

[05:26] lackluster than it should be because

[05:29] they're just squeezing for time. And

[05:31] that does genuinely worry me because for

[05:33] those of you who don't know, the first

[05:36] leak where someone that knew something

[05:39] was production somehow, they tweeted

[05:41] that Demon Slayer was getting a movie

[05:43] trilogy, I think it was back in the

[05:45] summer of 2023, they stated that that

[05:48] movie trilogy would be the end. They

[05:50] were saying that movie trilogy is the

[05:52] end of the story. But this was before

[05:54] even Hashida training had come out or

[05:56] anything like that. So it was just kind

[05:58] of assumed that there would be Hashida

[06:01] training maybe a season that covers a

[06:04] lot of Infinity Castle and then movie

[06:05] trilogy or something along those lines.

[06:07] But now that we know where Hashida

[06:09] training ended within the anime, it just

[06:12] doesn't seem realistic to me. I don't

[06:14] think that that leak was perfectly

[06:16] correct in saying that yes, obviously we

[06:18] know it's a movie trilogy that they were

[06:20] right there, but I don't think it's

[06:21] ending with the trilogy. There is a lot

[06:23] of question as to why they would do a

[06:26] movie trilogy and then do a fourth movie

[06:29] or a season after that. That doesn't

[06:31] make a ton of sense. However,

[06:34] pacingwise, that makes the most sense

[06:36] because I don't think y'all realize 20

[06:38] to 22 chapters per movie. That pacing is

[06:42] so fast. Like that is just Eufo Table

[06:46] loves to add anime original content. I

[06:49] think there needs to be anime original

[06:50] content at least in the Sunrise

[06:53] Countdown arc. I just I'm I'm stressed

[06:56] thinking about the story ending. And I

[06:58] know like at the end of the day, I do

[07:00] trust EUO Table and I think that there

[07:02] is very much a way that it can still

[07:04] work out if they do it that way. But I

[07:07] do fear for the pacing. I do fear for

[07:12] how rushed it'll feel when it already

[07:14] felt rushed in the manga. To put this

[07:16] into like to cement my opinion, I do

[07:19] believe just Infinity Castle is getting

[07:22] this movie trilogy and then Sunrise

[07:24] Countdown will get something after that.

[07:26] We are not going to know. They are not

[07:29] going to announce anything along those

[07:30] lines until like the third movie comes

[07:33] out though because that's the way they

[07:34] do things every single time. It's always

[07:36] been the day of the season finale of an

[07:38] arc where they announce how they're

[07:40] adapting the next arc. So for reference,

[07:43] the day of the season finale of

[07:44] Entertainment District, they announced

[07:46] that Swordsmith Village was going to get

[07:48] a TV season. And then on the day of the

[07:51] season finale of Swordsman Village, they

[07:52] announced that Hashida Training was

[07:54] going to get a TV season. The day of the

[07:56] Hashida Training season finale, they

[07:58] announced that Infinity Castle was going

[07:59] to get a movie trilogy. So, we're not

[08:01] going to get any announcements probably

[08:03] till that third movie hits theaters,

[08:04] which is probably at least 3 years away.

[08:07] So, we're not going to know that answer

[08:10] for a long time. However, I do think

[08:12] after the first movie, we'll have a much

[08:16] more solidified idea because we'll know

[08:19] what that movie covered and we'll be

[08:22] able to kind of do the math and be able

[08:24] to determine if they got enough done

[08:26] where it's just going to be a trilogy to

[08:28] the end or if they didn't get enough

[08:29] done. And it's obvious that Sunrise

[08:31] Countdown's going to be its own entity.

[08:33] My personal opinion is Infinity Castle

[08:36] movie trilogy and then Sunrise Countdown

[08:38] a

[08:39] secondary season. I would like a season

[08:42] honestly. I think it needs more than a

[08:43] movie because again it's like 20

[08:45] chapters long. Cramming that into a

[08:47] movie is only going to make the most

[08:48] rushed arc in this story more rushed

[08:50] which would not be good. Okay, so with

[08:52] the idea that just Infinity Castle will

[08:54] be this movie trilogy, let's break down

[08:56] the first movie. So, like I said, the

[08:58] end of Hashida training ended with 139

[09:01] and Infinity Castle starts with 140. The

[09:03] chapter of 140 has a lot of check-ins.

[09:06] We pretty much check in with every

[09:07] character. It starts with Tanjido and

[09:09] Gu. And they have to kind of work their

[09:12] way through some lower ranked demons. It

[09:15] says that they have the strength of

[09:17] lower moons, but because Tanjido is

[09:19] hosted level at this point, they're able

[09:21] to get through them fairly quickly. Can

[09:23] they add some to this just because they

[09:26] want to probably spend a lot of time

[09:27] with Tanjido to remind us that he's the

[09:29] main character? Yes. But I don't think

[09:31] it's going to take that much time. I

[09:33] think that probably will be with Tanjino

[09:35] and Guu at the very beginning for about

[09:37] fiveish minutes. And then it just kind

[09:39] of very briefly shows each character as

[09:42] they kind of run to their respective

[09:45] fights. It also shows Sonomy totally

[09:48] crashing out, which I'm actually very

[09:49] excited to see. Guyome also has some

[09:52] dialogue where he's talking about

[09:54] Kagaya, but then like Genya, Enoske,

[09:57] Zenitsu, and all them just get a very

[09:58] 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

[20:02] liked it, don't forget to like the
