Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025)

Sravan is joined by special guest Kireeti to break down Infinity Castle (and the Demon Slayer series as a whole): why it became a global phenomenon, how the movie cranks the animation and intensity to max, and what the three big arcs mean for what’s coming next. Non-spoiler thoughts up front, then we go full spoiler mode — including Shinobu’s showdown, Zenitsu finally locking in, and Akaza’s surprisingly heartbreaking backstory.
