A recent announcement raised concerns about the publication Demon Slayer season 5
The beloved anime adaptation of the manga just finished its fourth season at the end of June, covering the events of the long-awaited Hashira Training Arc (read more Demon Slayer season 4 here)
Despite being one of the most popular anime on the planet, a potential fifth season of the hit Japanese epic has yet to be announced.
The new announcement has Demon Slayer fans worried
Concerns from fans revealed the release Demon Slayer Season 5 after the recent announcement of the hit anime.
As part of the end of the 4th season of the series, a trilogy was revealed Demon Slayer The movies are in the works and will deal with the events of the Infinity Castle Arc Demon Slayer manga.
This has caused concern among fans eager to love the fifth season of the show, as some believe that this cinematic trilogy may delay or replace Season 5.
The general opinion among these detractors is that the Infinity Castle Arc would work better as a TV season (or two) movie adapting the events of the Sunrise Countdown Arc.
The comments section of the Reddit post of the announcement is full of fans sharing their disdain for the decision.
Commenters like Used_Yak_1959 called out the decision “incredibly frustrating” points to the expected expectation “3-5 years to see everything in one arc:”
“It’s honestly so incredibly frustrating. I don’t want to wait 3-5 years to see one arc. We don’t even know if this will cover Sunrise Countdown.
The best way to proceed in this arc would have been a regular season and a movie for Sunrise Countdown. Be that as it may, at least the animation quality is top notch.”
This would be in stark contrast to the likes of Season 4, which adapted one arc of the Mange (Hashira Training Arc) in eight episodes.
One of the usual advantages touted for big-screen anime is that the production values and animation are a notch above their TV counterparts.
While this is usually the case, fans like Less-Lifeguard-538 on Reddit have slyly pointed out that Demon Slayer The series has become known for its incredible animation and production values, so the jump to a film-sized budget may not be as impactful (at least visually) as some have thought:
“Make the Infinity Arc like a 20-26 episode season and then make a Sunrise Countdown movie. That way we don’t have to wait at least three years for one arc. And everyone says the animation and production is pretty top notch.”
Up to this point Demon Slayer has typically been a mostly TV-bound franchise, with several interludes hitting theaters ahead of new seasons, serving mostly as previews for the first couple of episodes of the previous season.
What Could Happen in Demon Slayer Season 5?
If this new film trilogy is announced Demon Slayer means the wait for season 5 is long (if it’s released at all), there’s a clear plan for where the series is going.
This new movie trilogy is tasked with exclusively adapting the Castle Training arc.
This chapter Demon Slayer the story is the first half of what will become the show’s final show.
It sees Tanjiro Kamado and the Demon Slayer Corps plunge into the depths of Infinity Castle to destroy the evil demon king Muzan Kibutuji. Although they fail to defeat Muzen, the arc ends by revealing a new, more formidable opponent.
This big bad reveal (a character who remains unnamed at the end of the Infinity Castle Arc) sets up what will be the final conflict. Demon Slayer manga.
So, if Season 5 of the TV series were to come after this trilogy of Infinity Castle movies, it can be expected that it will be the final showdown that will be the centerpiece of it (known as the Sunrise Countdown Arc).
Season 5 would likely be the most dramatic yet as the Demon Slayer Corps gives it everything they have against their mortal enemy in Muzan and this new threat that comes with it.
Demon Slayer is now streaming on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
