The final storyline of Demon Slayer will be a film trilogy – here is the trailer

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has just completed his Hashira training arc, but the (Mugen) train is not slowing down: Shortly after the finale, Crunchyroll Demon HunterThe next story arc, Infinity Castle, will be released as an “epic film trilogy.” In a press release, Crunchyroll states that “the three-part films represent the final story arc and culmination of the hugely popular, award-winning anime shonen series.”

Based on the manga series by Koyoharu Gotoge, published by Shueisha’s Jump Comics, Demon Hunter currently consists of 23 volumes that have sold over 150 million copies, a number that has made it one of the most popular anime in the world. For Crunchyroll, the goal is to get the worldwide distribution rights (except for some Asian territories) in order to three additional Demon Slayer movies are a huge blessing; the 2020 film Mugen Train remains the highest-grossing anime film of all time, the highest-grossing Japanese film at the worldwide box office of all time, and the second-highest-grossing anime film in US box office history (with $49.5 million, more than Madame Web filmed in 2024!). Sony’s recent acquisition of the Alamo Drafthouse cinema chain with the express goal of showcasing anime films in America makes the trilogy an important milestone in Crunchyroll’s campaign to become a one-stop shop for all things anime in the US.
