Demon Slayer Akaza vs Giyu and Tanjiro Fan Animation May Have Outdone Ufotable

When it comes to par-excellence animation, Demon Slayer takes the cake. From its fight scenes to stunning visuals, the series is praised for illustration and animation. It has bagged several accolades ranging from the Japan Academy Prize to the Crunchyroll Award for its impeccable animation quality.

With the series finale of Season 4, several fans wait in anticipation for the final arc. Amidst all the wait and anticipation, a fan animation of Giyu and Tanjiro’s fight against Akaza has surfaced. To say the least, the video overshadows Ufotable in every possible way.

Fan animation of Giyu and Tanjiro’s fight against Akaza in Demon Slayer is par excellence.

Akaza is one of the twelve kizuki who is also one of the three upper moons in the series. Apart from being Muzan’s loyal follower, he is one of the strongest demons in the series. He holds immeasurable strength and mastery in combat due to his consumption of Muzan’s demon blood. From his regeneration abilities to his enhanced agility, Akaza is formidable in every sense.

While he may not be as diabolical as Doma, he was able to incapacitate and kill the Fire Hashira. However, like most upper moons he meets his end. In an epic showdown between the two Hashiras and the upper moon, the duo debilitate Akaza. While this fight is legendary in every sense, it hasn’t been animated as of now. However, there’s a catch.

A YouTube channel @Comickey’s fan animation of the legendary fight between Akaza vs Tanjiro and Giyu took it up a notch. To say the least, several users praised the channel’s animation.

A user named @crxppyedits commented: At this point, we know Comic key is our ufotable

Another YouTube user @CRIC_TOES said: Ufotable – we will release the upcoming arc in 2 years This guy – fine I will do it myself.

Another user @The_Silliest_of_Them_All praised the animation saying: WE ARE GONNA SET OUR HEARTS ABLAZE WITH THIS ONE.

Another user @jAnfernee-edo appreciated the animation saying: They should hire you for the video games at this point.

Another user @Ryprovis noted: the Voice Actors are just so amazing too. Everyone puts their whole shit in this…and it shows. I love it.

Apart from the animation, this fan rendition outlines the painstaking efforts of the team behind it. While many users pointed to this rendition surpassing Ufotable, both are different. In any case, Ufotable played a huge role in the series’ success.

Ufotable played a pivotal role in ensuring the series’ success.

From Muzan’s dramatic and slow walk to the epic showdowns, this series is Ufotable’s best work. It comes as no surprise that Koyoharu Gotouge’s work received accolades for its stunning animation due to the studio’s backbreaking performance. From Mugen Train to the anime series, the studio has bagged several accolades for its superior animation quality.

Moreover, the studio is known for producing some iconic anime including Fate/Zero, Fate/stay night, and Garden of Sinners. However, it achieved its breakthrough with Kimetsu No Yaiba’s success. With Mugen Train becoming one of the highest-grossing films, the studio surpassed the legendary Studio Ghibli through its performance. Moreover, Hayao Miyazaki praised the anime and acknowledged it as a rival.

All in all, the fan rendition of the epic showdown is nothing short of iconic. The impeccable work done by Comickey’s team deserves to be acknowledged. Apart from that, Ufotable deserves its due recognition for its backbreaking work in ensuring the series’ success.

Demon Slayer is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The manga is available for reading on Viz Media.
