🔥 A Quick Recap: What’s Happening in Infinity Castle?

Without spoiling too much – Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle marks the beginning of the end. Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the Hashira are drawn into the heart of enemy territory: Muzan Kibutsuji’s dark stronghold. The stakes? Nothing short of survival for the entire Demon Slayer Corps. Expect high-stakes action, emotional reunions, and ufotable’s signature jaw-dropping animation.

📖 A Legacy That Keeps Growing

Since its debut in 2019, Demon Slayer has become a cultural phenomenon. From the blockbuster hit Mugen Train (which shattered box office records) to the stunning arcs that followed, the series continues to raise the bar for anime storytelling and animation. With over 220 million manga volumes sold, it’s no exaggeration to say Demon Slayer is one of the most beloved series of the decade.

If you’ve followed Tanjiro’s journey through the Mugen Train, Entertainment District, Swordsmith Village, and Hashira Training arcs — Infinity Castle is where it all begins to converge. And you’ll want to be front and center.
