Briefly about the events of previous seasons of the anime
After his father's death, Tanjiro Kamado became the main breadwinner in the family and, as the eldest son, took responsibility for his mother and younger siblings. One day, as usual, he leaves his father's house in the mountains to go down to the village and sell coal there, not suspecting that he will see most of his relatives alive for the last time.
Returning in the morning, he finds his entire family brutally murdered, and his sister Nezuko turned into a demon. Hunter Giyu Tomioka comes for the soul of the newly converted. Initially, he intended to kill Nezuko, but seeing that the brother and sister are ready to protect each other, and the girl herself clearly does not want to attack other people, he decides to help them and sends them to his mentor to teach Tanjiro the breathing technique. Thus, the protagonist becomes part of the organization of demon hunters, seeking to return Nezuko to human form and defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of the oni.
In this mission, the protagonist finds significant support in the person of Tamayo, a demoness who managed to free herself from Muzan's control and overcome her thirst for blood. The woman is a doctor and volunteers to help Kamado with her knowledge of medicine. The young man must bring her the blood of the Twelve Moons, with which Tamayo intends to create a medicine that can turn the oni back into a human.
In the last two seasons of the title, a series of events occur that dramatically change the situation in the anime universe, the balance of power, and encourage a number of important people to take action. Nezuko manages to defeat the sun, which makes her the main target of Kibutsuji, who wants to absorb the girl in order to take over this power. Tamayo, with the support of the Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho, still creates an antidote, and the Hashira Hunters organization begins full-scale training.
The latest episode of the anime currently aired ended with Muzan attacking the mansion of the hunter leader Kagai Ubuyashiki. He blows up his mansion along with his daughters, wife, and himself, who is then weakened with Tamayo's medicine. All the Pillars gather in the blown-up mansion of the leader to hold off the demon until sunrise, but he suddenly transports the members of the organization to the Infinity Fortress, where the final battle is to take place.
What will happen in the first film of the final trilogy Demon Slayer Blade
The first film of the trilogy is set to adapt the first half of the Infinity Fortress arc. The plot should show a gripping and emotional battle between Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri against the Second Upper Moon Doma, with whom the girls have a personal score to settle. At the same time, Tomioka and Tanjiro will face off against Akaza, and the rest of the organization will fight both other Upper Moons and regular monsters in an attempt to reach their progenitor and defeat him once and for all.
Interesting Facts
Kimetsu no Yaiba has firmly entered the ranks of cult franchises in the anime industry and has not lost popularity for six years and five released seasons. We offer fans of the series, who are waiting with bated breath for the incredibly heart-wrenching and epic finale of their favorite story in animated format, to familiarize themselves with interesting facts about this title:
- The upcoming full-length trilogy will be directed by two people for the first time in the franchise's history: Haruo Sotozaki, responsible for the development of all previous parts of the series, and Hikaru Kondo, who was previously the title's producer.
- Original manga Koyoharu Gotouge is officially distributed in Russia by Istari Comics, and the Russian-language edition is already in the home stretch. There is a chance that the final volumes will be symbolically released simultaneously with one of the full-length films.
- For April 2025 A stage adaptation of the "Blacksmith Village" arc has been announced in Japan. This production is already the fifth in a row, and, apparently, the plan is to adapt the entire story from start to finish into a similar theatrical format.
- Many experts on the original source believe that the full-length films will add a number of original scenes or stretch out the action in other ways, since the remaining chapters of the manga can easily be filmed in one full-length film without any loss of plot.
- According to insiders, the films will be released with a gap of two years, but these rumors have not yet been confirmed. Nevertheless, a number of viewers are already unhappy with this prospect. Perhaps such a reaction will encourage the studio management to release all the films more quickly.
- All three feature films will be released online in about five or six months.
