"The Infinity Castle Arc" trilogy production confirmed; final battle unfolds on the big screen
After the conclusion of "The Hashira Training Arc," the official unexpectedly dropped a bombshell, announcing that "The Infinity Castle Arc" will be produced as a film trilogy. Considering that the "Infinity Castle Battle" spans 70 chapters in the original manga, representing the climax of the entire story, producing it as a trilogy allows for a more complete and detailed portrayal of each key battle and the characters' emotional transitions.
The first part, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Infinity Castle Arc Chapter 1: Akaza's Reappearance," premiered in Taiwan on August 8, 2025, with a runtime of 155 minutes, available in 2D and IMAX versions, offering audiences an ultimate audiovisual feast. This theatrical version is a continuation of the anime's fourth season with entirely new content, not a recap, allowing fans to seamlessly dive into the tense atmosphere of the final battle.
Trailer reveals key battles; three major highlights not to be missed
From the currently released trailers and official information, we can glimpse the exciting plot highlights of the first chapter of "The Infinity Castle Arc."
1. Kagaya Ubuyashiki's tragic strategy
At the story's beginning, the Demon Slayer Corps leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, uses himself as bait to lure the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, to his mansion, opening the tragic prelude to this final battle. The Demon Slayer Corps members rush to rescue him but are dragged by Muzan's ability into his stronghold—the Infinity Castle, a four-dimensionally distorted, infinitely expanding interdimensional fortress.
2. Fateful showdown: Tanjiro, Giyu Tomioka vs. Upper Rank Three・Akaza
The most anticipated focus of the first chapter of "The Infinity Castle Arc" is undoubtedly the fateful battle where Tanjiro and the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, join forces against Upper Rank Three, Akaza. Akaza killed the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengaku, in "The Mugen Train Arc," leaving an indelible scar in Tanjiro's heart. This confrontation is not only a battle of revenge but will also deeply reveal Akaza's tragic past as a human, making this popular antagonist's character more well-rounded.
3. The Insect Hashira and Zenitsu's personal battles
The trailer also hints at two other key battles. The Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, will face the killer of her sister, Upper Rank Two, Doma; while Zenitsu Agatsuma will confront his senior disciple turned demon, Upper Rank Six, Kaigaku. These battles not only involve personal grudges and emotions but will also showcase vastly different sides of the characters.
Top-tier production and golden cast return
"The Infinity Castle Arc" continues to be directed by Haruo Sotozaki, who has long directed the "Demon Slayer" series, and is produced by ufotable, maintaining its proud high-quality animation and stunning visual effects. Additionally, the voice cast, including Natsuki Hanae, Akari Kito, Hiro Shimono, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, returns to breathe soul into the characters. In terms of music, the series once again invites the two powerhouse singers LiSA and Aimer, who have previously composed for the series, to collaborate, undoubtedly adding even stronger emotional impact to the final chapter.
