What is Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle about?
With an original story by Koyoharu Gotoge, a screenplay written and produced by ufotable, and directed by Haruo Sotozaki, Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is a culmination of everything the series has been working toward.
Tanjiro Kamado is a boy who joined the Demon Slayer Corps, an organization dedicated to hunting down demons, after his younger sister, Nezuko, was turned into a demon.
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.
As the Demon Slayer Corps members and Hashira engage in a group strength training program, the Hashira Training, in preparation for the forthcoming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. With the head of the Demon Corps in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters but are plunged into a deep descent to a mysterious space at the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji.
The destination where Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the demons’ stronghold – the Infinity Castle. And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons are set to ignite.
