Bad News About The ‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' Part 2 And 3 Release Dates
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is currently demolishing box office records in Japan, records set originally by Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, years earlier. They really like Demon Slayer.
But fans know that this first Infinity Castle film is only Part 1, and Parts 2 and 3 are separate movies, a trilogy that is going to be the end of the entire series. A series that will…span an entire decade, according to new reports about the release dates for Infinity Castle Parts 2 and 3.
A new report from AniRave says a source they trust has informed them that Infinity Castle Part 2 will air in 2027 and Infinity Castle Part 3 will air in 2029. That would be around ten years since Demon Slayer first debuted in 2019, and the end result of this would be a total of four seasons of a show and three movies.
Fans have not liked hearing these are the dates, and were hoping the movies would get here faster. After all, it took just five years for there to be four seasons of the show which is a whopping 63 episodes in total. At 2 hours and 30 minutes, Infinity Castle is roughly 7.5 episodes. So 7.5 episodes every two years? Why is it taking so long?
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle
Well, the main issue is going to be production quality and just how much work the above-and-beyond animation is going to be for the films. Those who have seen the first one can attest to how great it is.
While these dates are not official, fans hoping that maybe the 'real' dates are closer together are in for disappointment. If anything, it's possible the actual gaps between Part 1 and 2 and 2 and 3 may be even longer than this. Ufotable has said that production on just Part 1 took 3.5 years, started while the old seasons were still airing. Not to say that every movie is going to take 3.5 years from the release of the last one, putting us at 2032, but one every two years is sort of a blessing, in that context, as frustrating as it may be for fans.
It's frankly a miracle that Demon Slayer got 63 episodes out in five years with its animation quality, and while it's understandable fans may be confused about the delay with the movies, there's no real getting around it. I'm seeing some say the 'hype will be dead,' but the time the series finishes in 2029, but I mean, this is Demon Slayer, hype for it does not die.

But Pokémon TCG Pocket 's next set — Wisdom of Sea and Sky — is going to be all about monsters from the Johto region, and it looks like the expansion will introduce to some interesting new gameplay mechanics like attacks that don't require energy when it releases on July 30th.

Shinyakozuka Tokyo Spring 2026 Collection
When Shinya Kozuka visited his family in Osaka for the New Year's holiday, he spent a lot of time thinking about the moon. His late grandfather, a hobbyist photographer, had pictures of Kozuka as a child hanging on the wall, as well as red carnations that Kozuka had made on a sewing machine for Mother's Day 20 years ago. 'When I saw them, I had a feeling similar to what I get when I look at the moon. I thought, 'oh, the moon is floating in my room',' he explained. And so, in a dark hall of the Tokyo Science Museum on a balmy July evening, Kozuka showed a moon-soaked, somnambulant collection that evoked the romantic loneliness peculiar to the small hours. White gradients of moonlight lit up the black button-up shirts and tailored trousers that opened the show, later reappearing on toweled dressing gowns, alongside beaded embellishments and those aforementioned crimson carnations. From there we drifted into aprons and coats embroidered with a tapestry landscape that could have been the Amalfi Coast or else some fictional storybook town—populated by swans, picture frames, and tiny yellow moons that resembled bananas. It lent a rustic, pastoral nostalgia to the collection, compounded by the wallpaper floral pajamas and the calico chore coats and shorts decorated with faded red stripes—the kind you see on vintage tea towels. Strawberry-colored gingham was needle-punched to give it a worn-in (slept-in?) handle, and some of the models wore half-pulled-off socks which flopped on their feet as they walked, as though they'd just got out of bed. The curly moons that they held in their arms or sported on their heads were based on Kozuka's own illustrations. As anyone who has followed Kozuka's progress will have noticed, the moon is one of the designer's enduring motifs, alongside wintertime and taking long walks through the city. 'These are themes I think I'll use forever. If I'm asked to choose between the sun and the moon, I'll choose the moon, and if I'm asked to choose summer or winter, I'll choose winter,' he said. 'I'm drawn to dark things.' In his show notes (which are poem-like and always lovely to read), he wrote the following: 'The moments when fashion moves me are rarely driven by logic. They're vague, abstract, hard to explain—and I've come to believe that's what makes them powerful.' Kozuka's strength as a designer is his ability to take these personal, often surreal ideas and transmogrify them into clothing that feels stylish, realistic, and consistent. The oversized, chilled-out silhouettes temper the whimsy and stop anything crossing the line into costume; it's not uncommon to see his baggy sweatpants on fashion-forward young Tokyoites. Before long, we might be seeing them elsewhere too: the brand has steadily grown its stockists in recent seasons, and Kozuka is hoping to put on his first runway show in Europe in the not-too-far future. First the moon, next the stars.
