The Mugen Train was huge, but Infinity Castle set a whole new standard and took the popularity of Demon Slayer to a whole new level. Demon Slayer's popularity cannot be understated at this point. However, it would also be disingenuous to say that no series can compete with it. If there's any new shounen series that can compete with it, it's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Gojo vs Sukuna is the only real competitor to Demon Slayer
