The popularity of Demon Slayer cannot be understated. Before it got an anime, Demon Slayer was huge in Japan. Its anime adaptation from studio Ufotable made it even bigger and better. After the release of Mugen Train, Demon Slayer became bigger than ever, and to this day, it holds the record for the highest number of manga sales per volume in manga history, showing that it is huge worldwide.

The Mugen train was big, though Infinity Castle set a whole new standard and pushed the popularity of Demon Slayer to a whole new level. Demon Slayer's popularity cannot be understated at this time. However, it would be absurd to say that it cannot be rivaled by any series. If there's one new shounen series that can rival it, it's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen Has a very successful movie of his own, that is JJK0. Although the movie is nowhere near the highest grossing movie at the box office, it should be noted that it is really a prequel movie featuring a completely different main character and a side cast that does not take the roles of the main characters in the original manga. However, the film did incredibly well in Japan and worldwide. A true Jujutsu Kaisen movie that features actual events from the anime would be huge.

The fans understand this very well Gojo vs Sukuna is coming in JJK's future. While this may just be one anime season, and fans will absolutely love it if that's the case, it's widely accepted in the community that Gozo vs. Sukuna is a relatable experience on the big screen.

His hands remain undisturbed even while making cursing gestures, and his heart and lungs are unencumbered even while chanting curses. Sukuna's additional weapons and hands provide a huge advantage over other mages. His physical appearance may be very deformed, but this does not hinder him in any way. – Narrator in Ryomen Sukuna

At this point, it's a given that Demon Slayer is almost unbeatable when it comes to anime movies, but it's also important to acknowledge the fact that other series have incredible potential as well. This is especially true for Jujutsu Kaisen, which will give fans a big fight soon in one way or another.

To be clear, JJK doesn't need a big movie to convince fans that it features the best fighting of all modern shonen anime. No other battle could match the hype that Gozo vs. Sukuna carried. But, if the studio wants to do true justice to this monumental battle, a theatrical release would be absolutely perfect, and if that happens, the Demon Slayer's record is well and truly in jeopardy.
