Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is a Japanese animated dark fantasy action film, released on 12 September 2025. This film is the first film of the famous anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, which will come in three parts. Three major battles are shown in the film, in which there is a fierce battle between Demon Slayers and a group of dangerous demons Twelve Kizuki. The main character of the story is Tanjiro Kamado, a teenage boy. His family is killed by demons and his younger sister Nezuko is turned into a demon. Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps to take revenge and make his sister human.
How many battles are there in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle?
There are three major battles in the film. In the first battle, Tanjiro’ and Giyu together fight Upper Moon 3, Akaza. In the second battle, Zenitsu fights his old partner Kaigaku, who has now become Upper Moon 6. In the third battle, Shinobu, the Insect Hashira, takes on Upper Moon 2, Doma. Meanwhile, the children of the Ubuyashiki family, Kiriya, Kuina, and Kanata, search for Muzan. A woman named Tamayo is trying to turn Muzan into a human.
Who dies in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle?
The most impressive of these battles is the one between Tanjiro and Giyu. Tanjiro uses the Transparent World technique which he learned from his father to dodge Akaza’s Compass Needle. During the battle, Akaza remembers his tragic past as a child he stole to help his sick father, but his father committed suicide out of shame. He later trains at a dojo and is about to marry his master’s daughter, Koyuki, but an enemy poisons the dojo, killing Koyuki. In a fit of rage, Akaza kills 67 people and is then turned into a demon by Muzan. In the end, tormented by his old memories and guilt, Akaza kills himself.
Who survives Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’s major battle?
While Tanjiro, Giyu and Zenitsu survive, Akaza, Kaigaku and Shinobu die. Shinobu is defeated by Doma’s power while fighting him and he absorbs her into his body. At the end of the film, it is revealed that the king of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, is hidden inside a cocoon (round shell) that is in the heart of the Infinity Castle. However, it is not known where his real whereabouts are as the castle constantly changes its location and path. Now the story will move forward where the remaining Hashiras and Tanjiro will try to find and kill Muzan.

Every great anime needs a training arc, and Demon Slayer isn’t an exception to this rule. Although Tanjiro and his friends have been training to get stronger to defeat demons in their path, the Hashira Training Arc won’t just focus on Tanjiro.
The rest of the Demon Slayer Corps and the other Hashira are training themselves under tough conditions in order to awaken their own Demon Slayer Marks. The only way to defeat the Upper Moons of Muzan is to get stronger, but regular training isn’t going to be enough.
Demon Slayer Marks are awakened once Demon Slayers are placed under harsh conditions that break them past their limits. This enhances the current strengths of that demon slayer, but only for a short period of time. Tanjiro and Muichiro both unlocked their marks, which helped them defeat several demons during the Swordsmith Village Arc.
For Muichiro, memories of his brother’s death helped awaken his mark. Prior to this, Tanjiro had already awakened his mark briefly against Gyutaro in an intense battle during the Entertainment District Arc. Both Muichiro and Tanjiro were subjected to immense suffering, but the power boost gave them the ability to kill some powerful demons and save their own lives.
The Hashira Training Arc is aimed at getting everybody in the Demon Slayer Corps stronger. Even retired Demon Slayers like Tengen are coming back just to help out with training. The attack on the Swordsmith Village by several high-profile demons resulted in a lot of swordsmith deaths. Nezuko’s immunity from the Sun is both a gift and a risk. Her newly awakened ability might present a cure for demons, but it also comes at the cost of being hunted down by Muzan himself.
The Hashira will be pushing everybody past their limits, including former Sound Hashira Uzui Tengen. Although there’s a lot of action to be had, fans will get to know more about Giyuu Tomioka’s rise to become the Water Hashira. This arc will also feature an unexpected team-up with Shinobu and another unlikely character to create a potent drug against Muzan Kibutsuji.
