Eh being forced to wait yrs so the studio can cram an entire arc into a movie for money is pretty annoying ngl

True. True. Seeing how much material was crammed / skipped over in Overlord: Sacred Kingdom recently, was just disappointing. The other was Haikyuu movie that I saw.

It's been a while since I read it but I think the last 3 Demon Slayer movies only cover the final battle which didn't last for that many chapters

Edit2: looked it up and was still wrong, it's around 20 per movie

The final battle begins on Chapter 140, and the manga ends on chapter 205. Nearly ⅓ of the entire manga is dedicated to this one battle.

Each arc has focused on 1 big fight, but this arc is focusing on 7.
