Infinity

by Haruo Sotozaki and produced by ufotable,
premiered in Japan on July 18 (local time) and quickly reached
the top spot at the box office. In addition, it broke national records

The
final arc begins: the battle at the Infinite Castle
The
platform that broadcasts the series in subtitled and dubbed formats, shared the
official synopsis of the film. The story follows Tanjiro Kamado,
who after losing his family to demons and seeing his sister Nezuko become
one of them, joins the Demon Extermination Corps in search of
revenge and redemption.
Throughout
his journey, Tanjiro has fought alongside his teammates Zenitsu
Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira, and has collaborated with
the Hashira, the corps' elite swordsmen. From the heroic Kyojuro
Rengoku on the Infinity Train, to Tengen Uzui in the
Entertainment District, to Muichiro Tokito and Mitsuri
Kanroji in Blacksmith Village, each battle has brought them closer to
the final showdown.
As the
group completes the Hashira Training for the Great War, the
demon Muzan Kibutsuji bursts into the Ubuyashiki
Mansion, launching a surprise attack that leads Tanjiro and the others to
an unexpected descent into Infinite Castle: the ultimate demon
domain. There the definitive battle between good and evil will
begin.
