Given how animes like Naruto, One Piece, and Death Note are a decade or more old, there have not been many, or arguably any anime from recent times that have managed to create the same stir as the OGs. But then came the Demon Slayer anime. It brought back the anime wave back in full force. And it is not planning to stop anytime soon.

Demon Slayer has not restricted itself to just being a highly acclaimed fan-favorite series, as it has also graced the big screen several times. But this time around, Demon Slayer is pulling out the big guns as it announces not just one but three movies based on its most thrilling arc.

It was after the blockbuster success of the first season that Studio Ufotable realized that Koyoharu Gotouge’s manga has enough potential to become a success on the big screen as well. This made way for two blockbuster successes, one in 2020 and the other in 2023. Based on the Swordsmith Arc, the movie was an easy hit. However, the studio is reportedly planning to go all out now as it takes on the most popular Infinity Fortress Arc, to churn out not one but multiple movies.

While Gotouge’s mastermind rarely ever has a dull moment, the Infinity Fortress Arc, which makes way for the final showdown, is widely accepted as the most popular. Although the news is not officially confirmed as of yet, given how it was delivered by the hands of a trusted leaker, fans are taking it as a goblet.
