Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is once again in the spotlight, but this time for a sensitive reason. As published on the series' official X (formerly Twitter) profile, a video illegally recorded during special screenings in Japan has leaked online, containing never-before-seen scenes from the highly anticipated Infinity Castle arc.

劇場での映画の盗撮行為は「映画の盗撮の防止に関する法律」（映画盗撮防止法）により犯罪です。…
According to the statement, the video in question was captured during a revival screening of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, which is currently showing in Japanese cinemas. At the end of the screening, the cinema shows an exclusive trailer for the new arc, but unfortunately, someone secretly recorded it and shared it on social media.
According to Japan's Law on Prevention of Unauthorized Film Recording, this type of action constitutes a crime. Furthermore, posting this content on platforms like X, YouTube, TikTok, or Facebook is a copyright infringement. Therefore, the justice system can punish those responsible with up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to 10 million yen—or both.
Demon Slayer: Castle Infinity premieres in theaters
While the leak generated controversy, the hype continues. After all, the official trailer for the Infinite Castle will be shown in North American theaters starting May 14th. In Japan, the film is scheduled to premiere on July 18th. Crunchyroll, in partnership with Sony Pictures, will release the film globally on August 14th, 2025.
Currently, all seasons of the series are available on Crunchyroll. The story takes place in the Taisho period and follows the journey of Tanjiro, a young man who decides to become a demon slayer to save his sister Nezuko—who has been transformed into an oni—and avenge his family.
