Demon Slayer Infinity Castle release date, new trailer, and everything else you need to know
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is set to release in Japan very soon, but US audiences and those in other territories will have to wait a few more months to see the first instalment in Tanjiro's final battle. While we wait, we've put together a full guide on everything from Demon Slayer Infinity Castle's release date to the latest trailers. For those reading along with the source material, there's also an answer to which manga chapters will be adapted next and a look at why we're getting a trilogy of movies for Infinity Castle instead of the more obvious next step of a new TV season of Demon Slayer. So, join us as we prepare to preview Tanjiro's face-off against series Big Bad Muzan Kibutsuji. For more from the world of anime, check out the latest on new anime including Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 and One-Punch Man season 3. Still catching up on Demon Slayer? You'll need our breakdown of how to watch Demon Slayer in order. The first instalment of the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie trilogy will release on September 12 in the US and UK. For more regions, check out Crunchyroll's extensive list of its staggered release plans. It all forms part of a killer fall lineup, which also includes the Chainsaw Man movie and My Hero Academia's final season. From there? The movie trilogy could continue until 2026 and potentially even 2027, depending on production schedules. Demon Slayer Infinity Castle will likely adapt the Final Battle portion of the manga, which consists of the Infinity Castle arc (chapters 137-183) and the Sunrise Countdown arc (chapters 184-205). The Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movies will pick up where Demon Slayer season 4 and Hashira Training left off, with Ubuyashiki predicting an approach from Muzan and detonating his entire complex (he and his family along with it) in the hopes of stopping the demon leader. While Muzan just about escaped, the main Hashira all converged. Despite being beheaded, Muzan wasn't defeated and was able to trap each Hashira inside the demon's HQ of Infinity Castle (hence the name). From there, they must battle to escape, kill the Upper Ranks and, ultimately, defeat Muzan and put an end to the demon scourge once and for all. While we won't go into spoilers here, it's clear from the anime that all roads lead to a final showdown between the Hashira and Muzan's army of demons, including the Upper Ranks. As the name suggests, that sees the Infinity Castle – Muzan's HQ – come into play, with the eternal battle between demons and demon slayers being brought to a definitive end here. You won't want to miss this. The new trailer even reveals which fights we'll be seeing on the big screen. Akaza is returning from Mugen Train to do battle with Tanjiro; Shinobu will face the demon who killed her sister, and Zenitsu confronts Kaigaku. This is the list of arcs so far and how Infinity Castle fits into the bigger picture: Demon Slayer season 1 (Unwavering Resolve arc – Chapters 1-53) Demon Slayer season 2 (Mugen Train and Entertainment District arcs – Chapters 54-97) Demon Slayer season 3 (Swordsmith Village arc – Chapters 98-127) Demon Slayer season 4 (Hashira Training arc – Chapters 128-136) Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie trilogy (Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown arcs – Chapters 137-204) To avoid any confusion: no, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is not Demon Slayer season 5. We're getting three movies to wrap up the series in cinemas instead. Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is definitely the final arc, however, with Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zanitsu's stories drawing to a close once the anime ends. But it's not going to be on television; it's a theatrical exclusive and, for all intents and purposes, replaces what would have been Demon Slayer season 5 in terms of chronology. That's not to say the saga can continue elsewhere but, right now, Ufotable is only adapting the story of Koyoharu Gotouge's official manga, which ended in May 2020. The first main trailer for Demon Slayer Infinity Castle focuses on endings. 'The Final Battle Begins' reads the text accompanying the trailer, with renewed focus on Tanjiro's upcoming showdown with Akaza, who was the demon behind Rengoku's killing in 2020's Mugen Train. The teaser also featured the reveal of two themes in Infinity Castle, performed by prolific artists LiSA and Aimer respectively. In recent months, we've also seen some incredible posters, one of which you can see below. It features series protagonist Tanjiro flanked by a wide selection of characters, including the Hashira and the Upper Rank demons. The Demon Slayer Infinity Castle cast hasn't been locked in yet but, like Tanjiro's keen sense of smell, we've got a gut feeling that these will all be returning in some form or capacity. Natsuke Hanae - Tanjiro Yoshitsugu Matsuoka - Inosuke Hiro Shimono - Zenitsu Toshihiko Seki - Muzan Kibutsuji Kana Hanazawa - Mitsuri Kanroji Tomokazu Sugita - Gyomei Himejima Ken'ichi Suzumura - Obanai Iguro Kengo Kawanishi - Muichiro Tokito Tomokazu Seki - Sanemi Shinazugawa Takahiro Sakurai - Giyu Tomioka Saori Hayami - Shinobu Kocho Maaya Sakamoto - Tamayo Demon Slayer Infinity Castle will air exclusively in cinemas as a big-budget affair, with the possibility of it streaming on Crunchyroll a few months down the line. A Netflix release could also come later.

Here Are The ‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' Release Dates, Plus New Trailer
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Demon Slayer is gearing up for what likely going to be its biggest release yet: a full-on movie in the form of Infinity Castle. Not a bunch of episodes strung together, an actual movie, the start of a trilogy, and the film is attempting to replicate the huge global success of the Mugen Train movie in 2020, which grossed $485 million. And yes, that was in the height of COVID. Now, promotion is starting to spool up for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, and here are the release dates for the film in different countries, some earlier, way earlier, some later. Here they are in order: I'm not entirely sure about the split here. It's pretty standard for Japan to get a way earlier release date, but I'm not sure why the UK, Indonesia and the Philippines are quite so lucky. So, we here in the US will have to wait until September 12, two and a half months from now, thereabouts. On top of this, here's the new nearly two-minute trailer for the Infinity Castle movie, which has racked up 6.3 million views in 24 hours with a massive 367K to 1K like-to-dislike ratio on YouTube. It's a sick trailer that you can see below: Here's the synopsis for the film as we head into the late game of the series (there is more to come after this (there are two more movies in a trilogy to mark the end of the show). 'As the Demon Slayer Corps members and Hashira engaged in a group strength training program, the Hashira Training, in preparation for the forthcoming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. With the head of the Demon Corps in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters but are plunged into a deep descent to a mysterious space by the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji.' 'The destination of where Tanjiro and Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the demons' stronghold – the Infinity Castle. And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons ignites.' This is going to be a really, really big event, and I would expect it will surpass the totals of Mugen train with a bigger set of battles, and now we're fully out of the pandemic. Stay tuned. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle trailer out: Tanjiro's final war begins
"The word final phase keeps crossing my mind" - Yes, the moment has 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle' trailer just dropped, and if you felt a sudden urge to scream, cry, and unsheath a katana at the same time - you're not alone. This is the beginning of the end, and the vibes? Unreal. Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures have kicked off the first film in the three-part finale with a trailer that's all blood, smoke, and serious heat. And trust us, it's not just the animation that's dive straight into the madness after Muzan's surprise ambush. The Demon Slayer Corps gets yanked into his twisted house of doom - the Infinity Castle - and things go sideways fast. A broody voiceover sets the tone: 'The final battle. These words echo in my mind' It's cinematic. It's dramatic. It's exactly the kind of energy we expect from a showdown this big. Tanjiro is in full beast mode. His sword's blazing with Hinokami Kagura, but it's his eyes that do the talking - locked in, brimming with pain, and ready to end this. This is no longer the kind-hearted boy who hesitated. This is someone who's lost too much and has nothing left to hold then, out of nowhere — Zenitsu 2.0. Gone are the shrieks and panic attacks. The man walks like he's already calculated every move, eyes wide open, thunder rumbling underneath. That letter from his master clearly lit something fierce inside him. It's a whole new Zenitsu, and he's not here to play. advertisementInosuke, as always, charges in like a storm in a boar mask. No fear, no strategy, just pure wild energy. But manga readers know - beneath all that bravado, this arc's going to test him in ways we've never seen Hashiras are locked and loaded. Fuelled by the pain of losing their master, every single one of them is going into this battle with everything they've got. But they're stepping into Muzan's lair — a shifting, eerie deathtrap with no logic and no mercy. And Muzan? He's yet, something - someone - is missing. Nezuko. The sun-walking demon girl. The one Muzan wants more than anything. The trailer barely shows her, but that only makes her absence louder. Where is she? What's her role in the final act? Whatever it is, it's going to hit just when you think you've seen it all — the trailer saves its gut-punch for last. Tanjiro vs Akaza. Yeah, that Akaza. The Upper Rank Three who tore Rengoku from us on the Mugen Train. The moment we've been waiting for since that heart-wrenching sunset scene is finally here. And now, with Tanjiro fresh off a brutal Hashira training arc, you know he's coming for blood. This is personal. This is war. And this time, the boy who once called Akaza a coward is ready to prove just how much he's grown - by setting his own heart not forget that chilling glimpse of Doma. With his smile-too-wide and unsettlingly flamboyant presence, the Upper Rank Two demon makes a flashy entrance. He's pretty, he's unpredictable, and he's a full-blown nightmare in pastel. Don't let the fanboy energy fool you - he's just as deadly as he is Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle continues the anime's theatrical storytelling approach following previous releases like 'Mugen Train' and 'To the Swordsmith Village'.It will be available on IMAX and premium large format screens, distributed by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment. The film is scheduled for release in India on September 12.- EndsYou May Also Like
