What is Demon Slayer’s infinity castle arc?
The Hashira Training Arc in Demon Slayer reaches a climactic moment as the Demon Slayer Corps band together in a dramatic showdown against Muzan Kibutsuji. However, they are scattered deep within the treacherous Infinity Castle, setting the stage for the series’ dramatic Infinity Castle Arc, pivotal to its climactic Final Battle Arc. Unlike previous storylines focused on training, this arc dives headfirst into intense demon battles, where the Hashira face off against Muzan's most powerful Upper Rank Demons simultaneously.
But as the Infinity Castle Arc is the manga’s longest saga, fans questioned whether the Infinity Castle Arc could be adequately adapted in a single season or if it would need to be split into two. However, the decision has been made to conclude the series with a trilogy of movies set for release somewhere in 2025 although an exact date hasn’t been given.
