The Demon Slayer manga wrapped up in 2020, and now the anime adaptation is set to bring the conclusion of the story to life with the upcoming Infinity Castle movie trilogy. To answer all of your burning questions about the upcoming movie trilogy, we've compiled a handy dandy guide with everything we know about Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. 

Is Infinity Castle the last arc?

No, Infinity Castle isn't the final arc of the Demon Slayer manga. As you might have gleaned from the title however, the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie trilogy will adapt this last two arcs of the manga - Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown - into three movies.

You can catch the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle arc in movie form on Crunchyroll. Please note that there will be three films that cover this storyline, all of which will be streamable on Crunchyroll once they are released. 

Why did Muzan bring the demon slayers into the Infinity Castle?

Muzan summoned the Demon Slayer Corps to fight him at the Infinity Castle because he wanted to put an end to them all at once. Considering how his power had grown over the course of the story, Muzan's perception of himself and his conflict with the Demon Slayer Corps was rather warped. 

Will there be a Demon Slayer season 6?

No, there will not be a season 6 for Demon Slayer. Instead, the three Infinity Castle movies will provide a conclusion to the series.

Is Infinity Castle Demon Slayer season 5?

Sure, you could think of the Infinity Castle movie trilogy as season 5 of Demon Slayer, though the story isn't told in television form. The events of the films are set after the events of season 4 of Demon Slayer, and are the next part of the Demon Slayer timeline. Ufotable, the anime studio behind Demon Slayer, chose to adapt the final part of the manga in movie form, versus in a television season. 

What is the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle release date?

Currently, we don't have an exact date for when the first Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle film will be released. Crunchyroll has announced that the first film will be out sometime in 2025. To stay up to date on all the details, be sure to check in with our anime coverage regularly, as we'll post the exact dates when they're announced. 

Which chapters of the manga is Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle based on?

The Infinity Castle arc from the Demon Slayer manga spans chapters 140 through 183. However, Chapter 183 is not the final chapter of the Demon Slayer manga. There's another arc of the Demon Slayer manga that follows the Infinity Castle arc, containing the manga's conclusion as well as its epilogue chapter. This arc is contained in chapters 184 through 205 - and called Sunrise Countdown.
