Ghost Blade Movie Version
It had been confirmed that the Ghost Destroyer's Blade and Infinite City would be made into a movie trilogy. Although the content of each movie was not fully announced, there was some speculation. The first movie might contain two important battles. One was the battle between my wife, Shan Yi, and the new First String Lu Kuaiyue. Kuaiyue was Shan Yi's senior brother, but he was later turned into a ghost. In this battle, Shan Yi wiped out his family. The second was the battle between Tanjiro, Tomioka Yoshio, and First String San, Yi Wozuo. Yi Wozuo had killed Purgatory Apricot Shouro in the "Infinite Train" chapter and had a grudge against Tanjiro. These two battles were quite interesting and should be enough to make up the length of the movie. The second movie was supposed to have two battles. One was the "Battle of Revenge" between Kanaho and Inosuke against the second child, and the other was the "Battle of the Strongest" between the Wind Pillar, Rock Pillar, and the first child. The final movie was likely to be the final battle with Wucai. This part was long enough to make a movie, and the ending after the victory could also be added. If the length was not enough, the content of Fate of the Successor Country could also be added. The previous book,"Blade of Ghost Destruction: The Infinite Train", told the story of the battle between Tanjiro, Purgatory Apricot Shoulang, and Nightmare of the Last Quarter. Tanjiro and the others arrived at the Infinite Train to carry out their mission after studying in the Butterfly House. More than 40 people went missing in a short period of time. Tanjiro brought Mi Douzi to meet up with Shan Yi, Inosuke, and Purgatory Apricot Shoulang to face the ghosts lurking here together. This movie had achieved very good box office results around the world. It quickly broke the box office record of Qianxun in Japan and became the highest-earning movie in Japan. It also won many awards. It earned 21 million US dollars in its opening weekend in North America, setting the highest opening record for a foreign film in North America. As of May 23,2021, the box office had reached 40.01 billion yen (about 2.4 billion yuan), making it the first film in Japanese history to exceed 40 billion yen.

Analysis of the Ghost Blade Movie Version
The movie version of Ghost Blade was unique in many aspects: ** 1. Plot related ** 1. ** Plot Material and Integration ** - One of the movie versions was a combination of the Flower Street chapter and the Saber Forging Man Village chapter. It was a combination of the tenth and eleventh episodes of the "You Guo Chapter" and the first episode of the Saber Forging Man Village chapter. This integration method not only included the stories that had already been broadcast, but also added new content that was about to be broadcast. For example, it promoted the follow-up [The Village of Swordsmiths] and increased the commercial value of the IP of Ghost Destroyer's Blade. - As for the prediction of the story of the movie version of the Infinity Train, there were different strategies for material processing to meet the needs of the fans who wanted to watch it in one go, and to take into account the regular length of the movie (such as 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes). For example, in the chapter of the infinite train, considering that the plot after boarding the train and meeting with the Flame Pillar Purgatory Xing Shoulang was short, the length of their dreams might be appropriately modified, and the flashback related to the Flame Pillar character would also be strengthened. Incidents such as the annihilation of Tanjiro's family might add emotional scenes to the original work to meet the time requirements and enrich the plot. 2. ** Plot features and attraction ** - The core of the story was unique. It had the meaning of reconciling with oneself, reconciling with evil, and putting down the butcher's knife to become a Buddha. The main character, Zomen Tanjiro, had a special image. He was a warm man who loved to cry. Not only did he have to protect his sister, but he could also reflect on the ghost's position and sympathize with the other party in the process of hunting the ghost. This kind of non-typical protagonist setting was different from the traditional protagonist's anger and resentment towards the villain. - The character setting was rich and varied. In addition to the protagonist, the other characters, such as my wife's hysteria and love for women, and the mouth of Hirai Inosuke, who advocated intuition and almost naivety, could ignite the audience's laughter and adjust the rhythm of the film. The fight between Apricot Shoulang and Yi Wo Zuo in the Flame Pillar Purgatory was gorgeous. The spirit of protecting the younger generation that he embodied resonated with the audience. The dialogue between him and his mother's soul was also exceptionally touching. The setting of Nightmare, the last episode of the bad guy, highlighted the dreams that each character yearned for in their hearts. The plot of killing people through hallucinations could touch the audience's sympathy for the male protagonist. ** 2. Production related ** - It was produced based on the Imax standard and had excellent picture quality and sound effects. It was very realistic. The painting was top-notch, and Ufotable's production ensured the visual effect. ** 3. Business related ** 1. ** Business Promotion Strategy ** - The officials were very good at publicity. For example, through the clever arrangement of the broadcast time between the movie version and the drama version, the first episode of [The Village of the Swordsmith] was broadcast on April 9th, and the first episode was one hour long. This broadcast time coincided with the time when the movie version was released, increasing the audience's interest in the work, ensuring a continuous and stable publicity period, and achieving mutual promotion between the movie version and the drama version. - The commercial promotion of the work by aniplexes was indispensable. There were a wide variety of accessories, from ornaments, mugs to food, and even underwear, toilet seats, etc. The sale of many accessories proved the commercial success of the work. 2. ** Business results and public acceptance ** - The commercial success of a work was affected by the acceptance of the public. The movie version of Ghost Blade was easily accepted by the public. Although the commercial results had nothing to do with the absolute quality of the work, the production of Ghost Blade was considered top-notch among similar works. It was not inferior to IP titles such as Attack of the Giant. ** 4. Market response ** - It achieved very good results in the Japanese market. For example, during the weekend of October 16 - 18, 403 cinemas across Japan attracted 3.42 million viewers and earned a total of 4.62 billion yen (equivalent to about 300 million yuan) at the box office, breaking the opening record of Japanese film history by more than twice. The number of viewers was known as the "National Carnival" festival, and the equivalent of 46 million US dollars beat the box office of China's "My Home and I" at 22 million US dollars. It was the weekend's global box office champion, with a score of 4.43 points (full score of 5). Moreover, in the context of the epidemic, when Japan's entertainment industry was in a slump, this work that was suitable for all ages, of high quality, and had an excellent reputation inspired people's desire to go out and do activities. The release time coincided with the time when Japan began to fully restore entertainment activities, and both adults and children were willing to watch it. ** 5. Different from other anime and movie versions ** - Most of the popular anime movie versions were independent, such as Detective Conan, Crayon Shinchan, etc. The movie version of Ghost Blade adopted a very special method. After the 26 episodes of the popular anime, the movie version of Ghost Blade: The plot of "Infinite Train" was almost entirely taken from the manga. It even added extra content to make the hardcore fans even more amazing. However, this also meant that there was a certain threshold for viewing, but it could still motivate the audience to watch the previous content.
