‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc' trailer: Three Upper Moon battles to kick off final trilogy
The main trailer for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle has been officially released by Sony Pictures and Crunchyroll, offering us a first look at what promises to be the climactic conclusion of the hit anime series. The upcoming film, directed by Haruo Sotozaki and animated by Ufotable, is the first in a trilogy adapting the final arc of Koyoharu Gotoge's manga. Following the events of the recently concluded Hashira Training Arc, the new film begins with a surprise attack by the series' main antagonist Muzan Kibutsuji. This sets the stage for Tanjiro Kamado and his allies to be plunged into the Infinity Castle — the enemy stronghold where the decisive battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan's forces will unfold. Infinity Castle is set to premiere in Japan on July 18, 2025. The international theatrical rollout will follow in phases, starting August 12 in Thailand and expanding globally through September. Indian audiences can catch the film in theatres beginning September 12, available in both Japanese with English subtitles and dubbed versions. It's time to have some fun 👊 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle premieres September 12 only in theatres. — Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (English) (@DemonSlayerUSA) June 28, 2025 The film's soundtrack features two new theme songs: 'A World Where the Sun Never Rises' by Aimer and 'Shine in the Cruel Night' by LiSA. Both tracks will be available on streaming platforms starting July 18. Crunchyroll's synopsis emphasises the stakes of this final arc, highlighting Tanjiro's growth, his enduring friendships, and the strength of the Hashira. Battles in past seasons have already included confrontations alongside Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, and more recently the Mist and Love Hashira. Originally serialised in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2016 to 2020, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has become one of the most influential manga and anime properties in recent years. Its previous film, Mugen Train, broke records and helped redefine anime's presence in global cinema. The Infinity Castle trilogy marks the end of the anime adaptation, and the newly released trailer makes clear that the series is heading toward a dramatic and visually stunning finale.

Fact Check: Virat Kohli Caught Smoking? Viral Image Sparks Debate on Social Media - Here's The Truth Behind The Picture
Amidst a quiet phase following his retirement from Test cricket and India's T20 World Cup 2024 win, Virat Kohli has unexpectedly found himself trending again — this time for all the wrong reasons. A photo has gone viral on social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), claiming that the legendary Indian cricketer was seen smoking a cigarette. The image quickly spread across the internet, triggering debate and confusion among fans. With Kohli not making any public appearances since Royal Challengers Bengaluru's historic IPL 2025 triumph, the viral photo added fuel to fan speculation. Do u think he is really smoking ? @grok Hiding in X (@DHarsHaDr) June 29, 2025 blud started smoking, looks like he wasn't able to cope with the loses of 11 lives lost in chinnaswamy stampede ex. capt (@thephukdi) June 28, 2025 Is this Virat Kohli? Is he smoking??? — Sai (@TheDiaryofSai) June 28, 2025 Fact Check Is It Virat Or Not? Contrary to online claims, the man in the image is not Virat Kohli. The viral picture is not even new. It originally surfaced in 2023 and again in March 2024, causing similar confusion back then. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that the individual in the image is Pawan Kumar, a known lookalike of Virat Kohli. The photo was taken at the One8 Commune restaurant in Bengaluru, which is owned by Kohli himself. Pawan Kumar was seen smoking hookah, leading to the mistaken identity. This is not the first time Kumar's resemblance to Kohli has misled fans, but the confusion was cleared by fact-checkers and fan pages shortly after the image first went viral over a year ago. Virat Kohli: A Disciplined Athelete Virat Kohli is well-known for his disciplined lifestyle. He has consistently maintained a strict fitness regime and publicly spoken against smoking and drinking. Kohli transformed his physique over the years and credited his clean lifestyle for helping him extend his playing career at the highest level. His commitment to fitness and wellness has also inspired many young athletes to follow suit. In interviews, he has emphasized how dietary discipline and workout consistency were pivotal in his success. Post-IPL Silence and Fan Curiosity After leading RCB to their first-ever IPL title in 2025, Kohli has kept a low profile. His silence became even more prominent after the tragic Bengaluru victory parade stampede, which claimed 11 lives. Since then, Kohli hasn't made any public statements or appearances. This low visibility, coupled with his Test and T20I retirements, has left fans eagerly awaiting his next move particularly in the ODI format, which is now his sole focus in international cricket.
