Sony Pictures Entertainment and anime streaming powerhouse Crunchyroll have unveiled the first official trailer for 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle', the highly awaited feature film that marks the beginning of the franchise's climactic cinematic trilogy.
The film adapts the 'Infinity Castle' arc of Koyoharu Gotoge's best-selling manga and serves as a direct sequel to the fourth season of the 'Demon Slayer' anime series. Produced by acclaimed animation studio Ufotable and directed by Haruo Sotozaki, 'Infinity Castle' continues the story of protagonist Tanjiro Kamado and his comrades in the Demon Slayer Corps as they infiltrate the demons' stronghold for the ultimate showdown.
'The new film… finds himself and his Demon Slayer comrades inside the demons' stronghold – the Infinity Castle, where the scene is set for the final battle between Corps and demons,' the release noted.
This latest entry follows the enormous success of 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train' (2020), which grossed $507 million globally and became the highest-grossing anime film of all time, as well as the most commercially successful Japanese film worldwide. That success not only cemented 'Demon Slayer's place in pop culture history but also signalled a global surge in mainstream anime consumption.
Since its anime debut in 2018, 'Demon Slayer' has grown into a worldwide sensation, winning multiple awards and gaining recognition for its dynamic animation, emotional storytelling, and influence in bringing anime to wider audiences.
Sony and Crunchyroll have secured global distribution rights for the trilogy, excluding select Asian territories such as Japan. 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle' is set to hit cinemas in North America on 12 September, with release dates for other territories expected to follow.
The three-part film series is poised to provide a definitive conclusion to the saga, promising high-stakes action and emotional resonance for fans who have followed the journey since its inception.

According to reports, Princess Kako had visited four different locations prior to boarding and, visibly exhausted, was seen sleeping during the flight. The footage quickly drew praise online, with many applauding her down-to-earth nature. According to a report in the South China Morning Post, the princess was in Brazil to attend the public events on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

After the lights were turned off, she fell asleep against the window of the domestic flight – a moment that has captured the Internet's heart. 🇯🇵🇧🇷It has been on viral for #Japan 's Princess Kako of Akishino who made her official visit to #Brazil.

Princess Kako stepped into the spotlight after her elder sister Princess Mako gave her royal title and left the imperial family in 2021 to marry her college sweetheart. After the latter relocated to New York, Kako took on a more public role, often travelling nationally and internationally to represent her royal household. Outside of her official role, she is admired for her grace and dedication. Japanese media often describe her as 'the hope of Japan." During one of her public addresses, she also candidly admitted to having a short temper, which she says is her biggest flaw.
