Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie 1 aka Akaza's Return

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie Part 1 saw Akaza’s Return and final exit from the plot. While we all got to witness the villain turning to dust in the most emotional way there is, the makers subtly dropped a major hint about Demon Slayer Part 2’s iconic fights, and you probably didn’t even notice it. That is the beauty of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie Part 1. Even in the midst of laughs, the makers paved the way for the next level battles coming with the next film. Here are the hints you missed out on, explained…

PS: Major spoilers ahead. If you are a true Demon Slayer fan, we’d advise you to watch Akaza’s Return in theatres before reading on.

Inosuke’s funny exit was actually the start of a new intense battle that has a backstory hinted at already

The ‘King of the Mountain’ Inosuke Hashibara might have literally poked the crow to take him to the strongest demon around, making it a funny scene, but do you know where is he headed and what is to come next? Inosuke is actually almost at the doorstep to fight Upper Moon Two Douma, who Kanao is handling alone at this point. Douma, known for devouring women, has already eaten Kanao’s teacher Shinobu Kocho, but not without her poisoning him. Now, Inosuke is out to help Kanao win the fight against Douma. So, the next battle would be Inosuke and Kanao opposite Douma.

Kokushibo’s entry and Gyomei-Muichiro Tokito running into the void, is it linked?

Kokushibo is touted to be the biggest surprise in Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie Part 2. He is already introduced in a grand manner with Akaza's Return, and is angry at how the events have unfolded. Now, most Hashiras are out to battle this Upper Moon One demon. From the ranking itself, you would understand how powerful Kokushibo really is, and we haven't explored even the tip of the iceberg yet. And yes, you guessed it. Gyomei and Muicihiro Tokito might be headed to save Doctor Tamayo, but given how the demons (including Nakime) are out to serve Muzan, none of the Hashiras can leave the castle just yet. Thus, Gyomei and Tokito would be pulled in to fight Kokushibo. Although his methods are not explored yet, it will easily be one of the toughest battles the Hashiras have fought so far. It is, however, his backstory that is going to blow people's minds (in case you haven't figured it out already). The one to beat him will emerge as the ultimate hero, that is till the battle will ultimately head to Muzan in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie Part 3.
