The highly anticipated 2024 Demon Slayer movie has created a lot of excitement among fans who enjoyed the first three seasons of the anime series. While the main characters have received considerable attention so far, this upcoming film will shift its attention to a plot without a central villain.

Animation studio Ufotable has shown its commitment to accurately translating the source material instead of taking the liberty of adding more original anime scenes, allowing fans to enjoy the intended flow.
