Muzan and Ubuyashiki Finally Met
We just witnessed the unthinkable when the leaders of the two opposing sides finally got to talk with each other face-to-face. We learned a lot during Muzan and Ubuyashiki's conversation, so let's go over the main points:
- Muzan and Kagaya are distant relatives, as the Ubuyashiki clan was cursed after Muzan was born into their family. To protect their children from being born fragile due to the curse, the Ubuyashiki clan devoted themselves to defeating Muzan.
- If Muzan dies, all demons will disappear with him.

It was really interesting to see Kibutsuji listening to Kagaya for so long. He even mentioned that he didn't feel any hatred towards him, even though the Demon Slayer Corps existed because of him. Ubuyashiki got the chance to tell him everything he had been holding onto. However, despite his fragile and kind persona, Kagaya used his last breath to set Muzan on fire together with his own family.
It was such a tragic end for Kagaya but really showed how strong his determination to defeat Muzan was. Even though he was so weak, his words were so powerful that they cut Muzan like a knife.

All Hashira Against Muzan
Ubuyashiki's sacrifice wasn't for nothing, just as he said. It turned out that he had always planned on setting Muzan up and weakening him before the Hashira attack. All of a sudden, we see Tamayo appear, making the greatest ambush of all. She conceals her presence and hits Muzan in the stomach. However, in her fist that Muzan absorbed, she had hidden the medicine that she created which could turn a demon into a human. Although we are yet to see it take effect, Tamayo made an unimaginable contribution to the fight with the greatest villain of the show.
At that moment, we see Gyomei hit Muzan incredibly hard, and it turns out he knew about Kagaya's plan. All the Hashira assemble and see their biggest rival, whom they have only heard about, for the first time. It was such a powerful scene. We could see their devotion to Ubuyashiki and the pain caused by his death. However, their shock at seeing Muzan didn't last even a second as all of them charged him with their powerful attacks. Each scene was more amazing than the other. Now, it's all the Hashira versus Muzan.

The Infinity Castle Arc Begins
Right when all the Hashira were about to strike Muzan, he smiled mischievously and opened the gates to the Infinity Castle. That scene shocked all fans. The sound of Nakime's instrument, everyone's disturbed faces, and them falling down simultaneously was such a cool moment that will haunt us all until we finally get the new sequel. An even bigger surprise was seeing not only them but all the Demon Slayer Corps get teleported into the Infinity Castle. Muzan is really planning on annihilating all of his enemies at once.
The Infinity Castle looks so scary and confusing, but Ufotable's animation made it incredibly realistic. You have to realize that now everyone has to face off against all existing demons, including the Upper Moons. One thing is for sure, not everyone will be leaving the castle.
Now we are left waiting for the Demon Slayer final movie trilogy. If you're looking for more anime series to watch, check out some of our recommendations:
