10 Anime Trilogy Movies That Can Dethrone Demon Slayer

Demon Slayer‘s Infinity Castle anime trilogy movies have stolen the attention of anime fans worldwide. Even though only the first part is out so far, the movie has broken multiple records and has become the highest-grossing movie in Japan. This trilogy shows the epic clash between the Hashiras and Muzan, but while Infinity Castle is a dazzling display, the anime world is filled with arcs that can easily overcome Demon Slayer if they were to be adapted into movies.

These anime arcs have everything that Infinity Castle possesses and more. From hypeworthy battles to emotional gut-punches, detailed lore, and more, these arcs have the universal appeal to make them into successful anime trilogy movies.

Thus, this article consists of 10 such anime that can easily receive a movie trilogy and attract the same kind of attention as Infinity Castle, if not more.

1 Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga

Dragon Ball Super‘s Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, which takes place right after the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie, has the potential to surpass the Infinity Castle anime trilogy movies. Dragon Ball Super: Broly has already earned over 124 million USD worldwide, which shows the potential of the franchise.

The arc introduces the deadly villain, Moro, who is a magic-wielding monster and drains energy from entire planets. This arc also shows Goku achieving Ultra Instinct. All in all, it is an arc that can revive the Dragon Ball franchise as a whole. The Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga consists of 25 chapters, which can be easily divided into three movies.

2 Solo Leveling: Monarch’s War and Final Battle Arcs

Solo Leveling‘s anime debut in 2024 and its season 2 in early 2025 embodied the definition of a hyped series. It was the only anime anyone ever talked about, and it even won Crunchyroll’s Anime of the Year award. The series’s Monarch War and Final Battle arcs are some of the most beloved arcs from the webtoon, which can be easily adapted into anime trilogy movies.

In the Monarchs’ War arc, the Monarchs will continue their hunt for the Ruler’s vessels and kill one vessel after another. However, their gross underestimation of Jinwoo’s powers is what will cost them. In the Final Battle arc, Jinwoo will absorb the powers of the Shadow Monarch and face his greatest enemy yet, Antares.

3 Jujutsu Kaisen: Culling Game arc

Jujutsu Kaisen has been a fan favorite, and no one can complain about MAPPA’s animation. The Culling Game arc is one of the best when it comes to plot and action. It is also lengthy enough to ensure that three movies can be created out of it.

This lethal battle royale has the power to draw in plenty of audiences with its new ad, intriguing characters, intense rules, and the struggle to kill or be killed. With Jujutsu Kaisen 0 already being a huge hit, the Culling Game arc is bound to become one of the best anime trilogy movies, if animated.

4 Frieren: Golden Land and Goddess’ Monument Arcs

The Golden Land arc and Goddess’ Mountain Arcs are some of the most intriguing arcs of Frieren. Since these two arcs are in chronological order, it is best to adapt them into an anime trilogy. In the Golden Land arc, Frieren will face Macht, the last Sage of Destruction, and in the next arc, she will be reunited with the person every fan wants to see again. The stories of these arcs are beautiful, and it’s high time that Frieren receives its own anime trilogy movies.

5 One Punch Man: Monster Association Arc

One Punch Man‘s Monster Association Arc will be animated by JC Staff for season 3. However, fans wish that the splendor of this arc had been brought to the big screens. Garou’s monstrous evolution is something that needs to be witnessed at theaters, and maybe a theatrical run would force the studio to fix the animation struggles.

6 My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Sky Egg Arc

MHA: Vigilantes‘ Sky Egg Arc shows Koichi and Kazuho, who have been caught in the middle of the Pro Heroes’ investigation into the Villain Factory. A farewell party is planned in honor of Captain Celebrity’s return at Tokyo Sky Egg. However, there are other plans in place due to the Scarred Man.

Vigilantes has already turned heads with its anime adaptation and its different POV; thus, it’s in a prime position to receive anime trilogy movies.

7 One Piece: Final Arc

One Piece has already entered its final saga and is gearing towards its finale. It’s still hard to say what exactly will happen in the last arc, but no matter what, it will create an immense amount of hype. That would be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of. One Piece, with its rebellions and massive battles for justice, might be exactly what is needed to take over Demon Slayer’s Infinity Castle movie trilogy.

8 Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Arc: Calamity

Pierrot has splendidly resurrected Bleach with its TYBW arc. The three released parts have been a testament to the studio’s renewed dedication to its animation techniques. So what better way to end the legendary anime franchise than to create anime trilogy movies out of the final part of the last arc? From the final battle against Yhwach to the conclusion everyone has been waiting for, the finale of Bleach deserves the theatrical treatment.

9 Kaiju No. 8: The Second and Last Wave Arcs

Kaiju No. 8 has already won over fans with its unconventional protagonist. The manga has already ended, and the anime is still a bit away from the finale. Thus, this is the perfect time to start preparing for an anime movie adapting the finale of the series. The finale of Kaiju No. 8 will showcase the most glorious battles against monsters as well as unveil their origin. It is an arc that deserves the Infinity Castle treatment.

Black Clover‘s Spade Kingdom Raid arc is considered one of the franchise’s best arcs. It runs from chapters 261 to 331 of the manga, making it 70 chapters long, the perfect length for a movie trilogy. This arc has some of the most hyped battles of the franchise, ranging from Magna vs Dante, Asta and Liebe vs Lilith and Nahamah, Yuno vs Zenon, and the battle against Megicula.

The arc contains one beautiful battle after another, and also shows the downfall of the Dark Triad, who have been major antagonists for quite a while in the story. Considering Black Clover‘s popularity and universal appeal, the adaptation of its 10th arc into an anime trilogy movie would be a great move. With Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King film already being a successful release, the groundwork has been laid.

Here is a table with compiled info on the anime, their arcs, and chapter numbers.
