Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is about to enter its most intense phase yet. The first film in the Infinity Castle premieres in Japan on July 18, 2025, marking the beginning of the anime . The film will then hit theaters in the US and Canada on September 12, and is expected to arrive in Brazil the same week.
Which arc will be adapted in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle?
The trilogy is expected to adapt the last two arcs of the manga: Infinity Castle and Countdown to Sunrise , totaling 66 chapters. According to rumors, the first film will cover the events of chapters 140 to 163, highlighting two exciting battles: Akaza vs. Tanjiro and Giyu , and Doma vs. Kanao and Inosuke .
Although the fights occur simultaneously in the manga, the marketing has focused entirely on the rematch against Akaza. After all, the villain is responsible for the death of Rengoku, the beloved Flame Hashira. In fact, the film will likely feature flashbacks with previously unseen scenes of Rengoku, reinforcing the emotional weight of the fight. As with Mugen Train , the intention is to impact the audience with a memorable farewell.
Expectations for upcoming films
While not yet confirmed, it appears the films will also adapt the entire final arc, including the battle against Muzan Kibutsuji . However, as with Mugen Train , Ufotable may release the television versions later, with additional scenes and pacing adjustments.
Currently, Toho and Sony expect the new film to surpass Mugen Train at the box office. Undeniably, Demon Slayer's global success has grown since the pandemic, and international hype is now higher than ever.
