Zenitsu will be the undisputed fan-favorite in Demon Slayer Infinity Castle films, and no other character will come close

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie will surely blow the viewer’s minds when it premiers on the big screen, and it’s for a reason that fans least expect. Undoubtedly, Ufotable will do the fight sequences justice and honor Koyoharu Gotouge’s work. However, there is one character in particular who will steal the spotlight, and there’s not a single demon hunter who will come close.

Zenitsu Agatsuma has had his fair share of exciting moments that wowed the fanbase. His quick reflexes and ability to fight unconscious made him a fan favorite. However, it is important to note that his ability to fight unconscious is not out of choice. Despite his abilities, he is a coward, and he quite literally blacks out due to fear. That’s when his instincts kick in, and he is able to fight some of the strongest demons.

However, that will not be the case in the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie. Fans can expect Zenitsu’s best moment, and it will be quite early in the upcoming arc. Despite the presence of more powerful Upper Moon demons, Zenitsu’s fight is the one to look out for.

Why is Zenitsu’s fight in the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie the one to look out for?

As mentioned earlier, Zenitsu Agatsuma is a coward who attempts to flee from a tough situation at the first opportunity. At first, his antics annoyed fans. However, he proved his worth when he let his instincts take over and slay demons with relative ease. Fans must have noticed that Zenitsu received a rather disturbing letter that changed his demeanor. He is always joking around, and taking him seriously is hard. However, there was a complete change in his demeanor.

Zenitsu was extremely serious, and the reason for this will be revealed in the upcoming movie. The letter informed Zenitsu about the death of his master, Jigoro Kuwajima. The former Thunder Hashira took his own life to atone for his mistake. The only mistake he made was to teach Kaigaku the Thunder Breathing Technique. He was entrusted to run the dojo alongside Zenitsu. However, he was nearly killed by the Upper Moon 1 demon, Kokushibo.

The Upper Moon demon gave Kaigaku two options - die or drink Kibutsuji Muzan’s blood to become a demon. Being the coward that he is, he took the second option and became the replacement of the Upper Moon 6 demon. Zenitsu will take him on in the movie, and this is a fight that fans will remember for years to come.

Not only does he emerge victorious, but this is also the first-ever fight Zenitsu fights when he is completely conscious. He is serious, shows no fear, and even goes to the extent of instigating Kaigaku through verbal jousting.

It’s hard to even call this a fight because it was a one-sided beatdown. Not only did he completely overwhelm the Upper Moon demon, but he also killed him with a form he created on his own. He is known for being able to use only the first form. However, he uses the Seventh Form, which is also known as the Flaming Thunder God.

It kills Kaigaku in an instant, and the demon hunter comes out with barely any injuries or wounds. The fight was decided in a flash, and his former comrade-turned-demon was vanquished in the blink of an eye. This is why Zenitsu will steal the spotlight in the upcoming Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie.
