A Glimpse into the Infinity Castle Plot
The storyline of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle" continues the thrilling journey of Tanjiro Kamado, a young boy who becomes part of the Demon Slayer Corps after his sister, Nezuko, is transformed into a demon. Throughout his quest, Tanjiro has grown stronger and forged deep connections with his fellow demon slayers, including Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. His adventures have led him to collaborate with the most elite members of the Corps, known as the Hashira. Among these formidable warriors are Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, whom Tanjiro fought alongside aboard the Mugen Train; Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, who he encountered in the Entertainment District; and Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village.
As the Demon Slayer Corps prepares for an impending clash with the demons, the Hashira participate in a rigorous training regimen known as the Hashira Training. However, their preparations take a dire turn when Muzan Kibutsuji, the central antagonist, appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion, threatening the safety of the organization. In a dramatic twist, Tanjiro and the Hashira are forced to rush back to their headquarters, only to find themselves plunged into a mysterious realm orchestrated by Muzan.
