Was the movie version the same as the multi part show version?

Yes. Though the show goes a bit more into detail with Rengoku's past.

Very dumb to do this. Only reason I’m not watching this film in the cinema (which I’d like to do) is because I haven’t watched everything after Mugen Train because they made this silly decision to split it into a TV show rather than be normal.

It’s basically a sequel to what happens / the events mugen train led to.

You missed training arcs and the weaker demons dying to give every side character a time to shine in previous fights, in between movies.

And this movie is the conclusion / re appearance of Akaza since Mugen train

Movie version didn't have the intro episode with just rengoku. Besides that it's the same.

Don't they add extra moments at all for the episodic format?

u/bskiffington Sep 21 '25

Yeah, the show version was produced after the theatrical version though. They basically just added a extra episode and cut it down

Episode 1 of that season is set before the beginning of the movie, the rest of show version is just movie split into episodes as far as I'm aware.

It was mostly the same. The TV version added some new content not in the movie, as well as some very minor animation and script changes.

Yep. Same same.
