The Hashira Training Arc has set the stage, sharpened the blades, and prepared our heroes for their final descent into darkness. Now, the entire anime world is holding its breath for the next and most anticipated chapter of the saga: the Infinity Castle Arc.
While the official news is still under wraps, the manga’s source material tells us one thing for sure – what’s coming next will be the most intense, emotional, and visually spectacular fight in the series.
What is the Infinity Castle Arc?
That’s it. The Infinity Castle arc is the beginning of the end. It’s the setting for the final, full-blown war between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji’s entire demon army, including his most powerful upper-rank demons.
Forget one-on-one battles; this arc is an elaborate, chaotic, and desperate fight for survival, where multiple battles take place simultaneously within the ever-changing, non-Euclidean labyrinth of Muzan’s fortress. This is where every part of training, every friendship, and every defeat will be put to the ultimate test.
The Big Question: TV Series or Movie Trilogy?
The biggest debate among fans is how Ufotable will adapt this massive arc. There are two popular theories:
- Multi-Part Movie Series: After the immense success of the Mugen Train movie, many believe the Infinity Castle arc will be adapted as a series of films. This format would allow for a theatrical budget, allowing Ufotable’s breathtaking animation to get the big screen treatment it deserves.
- A Multi-Cour TV Season: Alternatively, a longer, multi-course TV season (24+ episodes) would give the story more room to breathe, ensuring that key character moments and the vast scale of the interlocking battles aren’t rushed through..
For now, ufotable has not officially confirmed the format, but the hype for an announcement is building daily.

When Will It Be Released?
This is a big question. No official release date has been announced yet. However, based on past production cycles, a late 2025 or 2026 release is a reasonable prediction. Official news will likely come first from the official Demon Slayer or Aniplex channels.
Final Thoughts
The hype for the Infinity Castle arc isn’t just about seeing the final battle; it’s about experiencing the culmination of a journey we’ve all been on with Tanjiro and his friends. It promises to be a landmark event in modern anime. The end is coming, and it’s going to be legendary.
