We’ve got less than a week to go before the worldwide premiere of Demon Slayer Infinity Castle, and just days before we find out if it can outperform the previous Demon Slayer movie, Mugen Train. By this point all the trailers and screenshots are out there, but Crunchyroll has released one final bit of promotion: a new poster featuring never before seen art.
Infinity Castle will pick up where the last season of the TV series left off, when Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke had finished their training under the Hashira and, after months of getting kicked around, were preparing to enter the demon stronghold, the Infinity Castle, and take the fight to them. As Crunchyroll describes it:
While growing stronger and deepening his friendships and bonds with fellow corps members, Tanjiro has battled many demons with his comrades – Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. Along the way, his journey has led him to fight alongside the Demon Slayer Corps’ highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira, including Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku aboard the Mugen Train, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui within the Entertainment District, as well as Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village.
While this training was taking place, Muzan Kibutsuji appeared at the Ubuyashiki Mansion, threatening the head of the Demon Corps. Tanjiro and the Hashira rushed to the HQ to stop them, but instead found a portal to the Infinity Castle itself. The next battle takes place in a space with no end — and no limit to the amount of walls you can be hurled through!
“Demon Slayer has been a phenomenal franchise, and we at Crunchyroll are delighted to have been a part of it from the beginning,” says Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini. “Crunchyroll is thrilled to be able to bring this trilogy of films to fans, on the big screen, and it promises to be one of the truly epic and consequential pop cultural events of our time when it hits theaters.”
The majority of places, including the US, will be getting Demon Slayer Infinity Castle this Friday, September 12..and in some cases, it will screen in IMAX! Here’s the full list of premieres:
