The very famous anime Demon Slayer is finally coming to an end after four seasons and a movie. But instead of a Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 5, the show is ending in a way that no one expected.
The next part of Demon Slayer will be a series of movies based on the manga’s Infinity Castle Arc. We now know when the first movie will come out.
In the summer of 2024, the fourth season of the show started. It followed the Hashira Training Arc from the manga, which could be seen as the calm before the storm. It comes before the great ending of Infinity Castle, where the heroes face Muzan Kibutsuji, their evil demonic enemy.
But when will the Third Infinity Castle Book come out? Find out what we know so far by reading on.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 5 release date:
From September 12, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 5 will be shown in theatres in the UK.
That is two months after the Japanese release date of July 18, 2018.
Demon Slayer would end after three movies. This was first said in January 2025.
Rahul Purini, president of Crunchyroll at the time, said, “Demon Slayer has been a phenomenal franchise, and we at Crunchyroll are thrilled to have been a part of it from the start.”Crunchyroll is excited to be able to show fans this series of movies on the big screen. When it comes out, it will be one of the most epic and important pop culture events of our time.

What is the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 5 plot?
“Tanjiro Kamado—a boy who joined an organisation called the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 5 Corps to hunt down demons after his younger sister Nezuko was turned into a demon,” says a summary of the movie on Crunchyroll.
“Tanjiro has fought many demons with his friends Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira, while his friendships and bonds with other corps members have grown stronger.”
“On his journey, he has fought with the Hashira, who are the highest-ranking swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps. These include Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku on the Mugen Train, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui in the Entertainment District, Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village.”
“While the members of the Demon Slayer Corps and Hashira were doing the Hashira Training, a group strength training programme, to get ready for the coming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji shows up at the Ubuyashiki Mansion.”
“The leader of the Demon Corps is in danger, so Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters. But Muzan Kibutsuji pulls them down into a deep, mysterious space.”
“Tanjiro and the Demon Slayer Corps have reached the Infinity Castle, which is the stronghold of the demons.” And now the stage is set for the final fight between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons.
What will happen in the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 5 movies?
The news about Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 5 revealed that the show will jump right into the Infinity Castle Arc of the manga in three new movies.
The Infinity Castle story is the second-to-last part of the Demon Slayer saga. It makes up the first half (about 47 manga episodes) of the epic “Final Battle Arc.” The last 22 episodes of the manga are the Sunrise Countdown Arc, which comes after the Infinity Castle Arc and wraps up the story.
Fans have been looking forward to the adaptation of the Infinity Castle Arc, which looks like it will have a lot more action than the Hashira Training scenes in season four.
To protect anime fans who have only seen the show, we won’t give away any major plot points. But please be aware that the next part of Tanjiro’s trip is filled with some very dramatic battles and losses.
We can see why Ufotable wouldn’t try to fit the whole Final Battle into one season of the show. It’s the manga’s biggest story arc by a long shot.
In case you didn’t know, Koyoharu Gotouge’s Demon Slayer manga is now complete. The last story came out in April 2020.
