Demon Slayer descends upon San Diego Comic-Con in 2025
In a grand declaration that Demon Slayer is going out with the biggest bang possible, the much-anticipated film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Infinity Castle is set to hit U.S. theatres on September 12, 2025, with tickets going on sale on August 15.
The film, led by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment, promises to be a landmark moment for anime in cinema. With a reported runtime of over two hours, it is expected to push the limits of what anime finales can be in terms of emotional stakes, visuals, and battle sequences.
The story follows the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji, the demon king, within a mysterious alternate dimension called the Infinity Castle. After Muzan launches a surprise assault on the Demon Slayer leadership, the Hashira (elite demon slayers) are trapped inside this ever-shifting fortress, which houses several powerful Upper Rank demons.
Notable fights include Zenitsu battling Kaigaku, Shinobu sacrificing herself to poison Doma allowing others to kill him, and Tanjiro and Giyu ultimately defeating Akaza. Meanwhile, Kokushibo kills some of the Demon Slayers before he is defeated. As Muzan grows desperate, he kills some allies but is weakened by a special poison developed by Tamayo.
The weakened Muzan emerges above ground for a final confrontation, where despite heavy losses among the Hashira, Tanjiro lands the killing blow. Muzan transforms Tanjiro into a demon in a last act of defiance, but Nezuko—now fully human again—helps restore him. The film and its sequels depict the downfall of Muzan and the dissolution of demon forces, ending with the surviving heroes returning to a peaceful life and a future free from demons.
Director Haruo Sotozaki spoke about preserving the integrity of the manga's original art, while Yuichi Terao's work was compared to assembling a puzzle with dozens of unique pieces. The opening of Infinity Castle features a solemn flashback and emotional battle sequences, setting the tone for the intense and moving narrative that follows.
Natsuki Hanae, the Japanese voice of Tanjiro, and Aleks Le, the English voice of Zenitsu, hinted at their characters' emotional arcs, promising a deeply personal and resonant conclusion to the series.
The film's release date in the U.S. was confirmed to be September 12, 2025. J-pop sensation LiSA performed the brand-new theme song for the upcoming film, adding to the excitement surrounding this highly anticipated cinematic event.
While no official dates have been confirmed for the release of Chapters 2 and 3 of the trilogy, they are expected to be released around 2027 and 2029. The film is anticipated to have an IMAX release, ensuring an immersive and unforgettable experience for audiences.
