    Demon Slayer
    The fourth season finale of Demon Slayer, titled The Hashira Unite, released on June 30th, delivers an explosive episode teeming with intense battles and significant plot twists. The episode not only sets the stage for a film trilogy but also sees Tanjiro Kamado's vow to defeat the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, following the emotional and dramatic events that unfold.

    The episode starts with an emotional discussion between Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the 97th leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, and Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King and leader of the Twelve Kizuki. This scene presents notable tension, despite Ubuyashiki's limited screen time compared to the manga. During the conversation, Ubuyashiki speaks about the curse on his family, which causes their lives to end prematurely. Nevertheless, Ubuyashiki has managed to stave off the curse for a duration.

    Despite Kibutsuji's daring challenge by entering Ubuyashiki's mansion, Ubuyashiki's weakened state prevents him from effectively confronting or killing Kibutsuji. The Demon King mocks Ubuyashiki for his inability. As the Hashira rush to the mansion to save Ubuyashiki, they face an unexpected turn of events when Ubuyashiki detonates the mansion, engulfing it in flames.

    The explosion results in the tragic death of Ubuyashiki and his family, with Kibutsuji sustaining injuries that he quickly regenerates from. The slow-motion animation of the explosion adds to the scene's impact. Arriving just before the mansion's destruction, the Hashira are united by Ubuyashiki's sacrifice and immediately engage in a battle against Kibutsuji.

    Though the final battle lasted for few minutes, it was a feast for the fans as the rest of the season was rather calm without any duels with demons.

    During the battle, the Hashira employ all their Breathing Style Techniques in tandem. Kibutsuji, however, demonstrates his formidable power by sending all the Hashira to the Infinity Castle. The season concludes with Tanjiro Kamado swearing to kill the Demon King.

    After the credits, a Taisho Secret segment reveals a connection between Mitsuri and Kyojuro, stating that Mitsuri was Kyojuro's tsuguko. This segment highlights Kyojuro's passionate nature but is cut off by a voice saying that it is time to fight Kibutsuji.

    The creators then offer a glimpse into Kyojuro's background before returning focus to the battle. The excitement builds as the final arc of the story, Infinity Castle, is announced to be adapted into a film trilogy. While release dates for these movies remain unspecified, a trailer has been released, increasing fan anticipation.

    The episode effectively sets up a climactic showdown between the Demon Slayers and Kibutsuji, promising thrilling cinematic experiences in the upcoming films. Fans eagerly await further details and a release schedule to see how the epic saga of Demon Slayer concludes.
