Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the postmodern elements in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, focusing on the Infinity Castle Arc as a representation of fragmented narrative and visual excess in contemporary anime. Using a qualitative descriptive method within the framework of postmodern theory, the research analyzes the arc’s narrative structure, spatial design, and symbolic motifs to identify the features of postmodernism, including fragmentation, hyperreality, metafiction, and pastiche. The analysis reveals that the Infinity Castle functions not merely as a setting but as a reflection of postmodern instability, its constantly shifting architecture disrupts linear storytelling and challenges conventional narrative logic. Moreover, the arc’s use of visual exaggeration and emotionally charged imagery creates a sense of hyperreality, where spectacle and feeling become inseparable from meaning. The presence of metafiction and intertextuality further demonstrates how the series blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction, tradition and innovation, and local and global cultural influences. Through these aspects, Demon Slayer constructs a layered narrative world that mirrors the complexity and uncertainty of postmodern experience. Ultimately, this study argues that the Infinity Castle Arc transforms the series into a postmodern text that reflects the fluid nature of identity, truth, and perception in today’s media landscape.

Abstract

Digital slang on social media often conveys evaluations through brief, context-dependent expressions. This study examines the social functions of “it’s giving” and its use in English-language posts on X. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, it analyzes 15 publicly available posts purposively selected because they contain the expression and provide sufficient context for interpretation. Guided by Allan and Burridge’s (2006) account of slang functions, the analysis considers textual content and, when necessary, accompanying visuals. The findings identify “to express impression” as the function most clearly represented: users employ the expression to characterize people, objects, appearances, and situations through concise descriptions, evaluations, and associations. The posts also draw on cultural and visual references, personal reactions, evaluative interpretations, and humorous or image-dependent contexts; these patterns are distinguished from the theoretical function categories. Interpretation often depends on the expression’s relationship to surrounding language, shared cultural knowledge, and visual content. Given the small, purposively selected sample, the findings provide a contextual description rather than a general account of all uses on X.
