A recent leak indicates that Demon Slayer’s Infinity Castle Arc will bypass a TV anime adaptation in favour of a trilogy of movies.
Following the Hashira Training arc, which is being adapted in Season 4, the Final Arc includes both the Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown arcs. The leaked information suggests that these three movies will encompass the entirety of the Final Arc.
The leak originated from a visitor giveaway on the Jump Victory Carnival website, which has since been removed. Jump Victory Carnival is an annual summer event hosted by Weekly Shonen Jump in Chiba.
Additionally, there are reports of an accompanying image set to debut in the upcoming issue of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on Monday, following the conclusion of Season 4’s penultimate episode on Sunday. The final episode will air on June 30, which would be a much better time to make an announcement of this caliber.
Kimetsu no Yaiba TV Anime will adapt its final ‘Infinity Castle Arc’ as a movie trilogy.This information has apparently leaked from the visitor giveaways (now deleted) from Jump Victory Carnival’s website. We’ll keep updating this information.https://t.co/pCh55OKOaJ pic.twitter.com/1bSbrffOzj

Demon Slayer has a history with movies, with releases such as Mugen Train and To the Swordsmith Village, which were adaptations of the series’ arcs. However, these films acted as compilations bridging between seasons. If the Final Arc is indeed slated for standalone movie adaptation, it will be a departure from the previous format, serving as a conclusive trilogy.
