Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Shares New Genya Look Ahead of Movie Premiere

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is gearing up to return to theaters with a brand new trilogy of films, and this new trilogy is getting ready with a new look at Genya Shinazugawa ahead of the new movie’s premiere. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is a new planned trilogy of feature films adapting the massive Infinity Castle arc from Koyoharu Gotoge’s original manga series. Picking up from the end of the Hashira Training arc seen in the TV anime series, this new trilogy will be pitting Tanjiro Kamado and the others against Muzan Kibutsuji’s final (and strongest) demonic forces.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle will feature key battles between Tanjiro’s Demon Slayer allies against the Upper Ranks, and one of those thrown into the chaos is Genya. Although he might not have been participating in all of the training that the Hashira and others were in during Season 4, he was one of the fighters across Japan who were seen pulled into the Infinity Castle at the end of the season. As he readies for a fight, you can check out a new poster for his role in the movies below.

What Will Genya Do in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle?

The coolest part of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is the fact that it will be adapting the longest single arc from Koyoharu Gotoge’s original manga overall. It’s yet to be revealed how it will be spread across the three different films, but each of the films will be filled with fights that fans have been hoping to see for quite a while. As each of the TV anime’s seasons have proven so far, there’s no guarantee that any character will walk away from their fights alive, so that means the stakes are going to be very high almost immediately.

That’s going to be Genya’s place in the arc, unfortunately. As a character who’s able to take on demonic traits by eating them, he’s someone who’s going to play a huge role in how one of the fights will play out. But his ability also means that he can’t quite fight on the same level as the others. It means he’s going to need to think smart about how he handles his fight, and it’s going to be one that fans will really need to keep an eye on when it all goes down.
