The acclaimed “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” animated series is nearing its peak, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation for the premiere of the first film in the “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” trilogy. This movie will delve into the conclusion of the tale’s captivating storyline.

As an observer, I can’t help but notice the enduring impact of Kyojuro Rengoku, a beloved character from “Demon Slayer.” Although he may no longer be with us physically, his spirit continues to resonate deeply within the remaining characters. The forthcoming trilogy promises a heart-pounding, exhilarating sequence tied to him, making it all the more intriguing that they are replaying “Mugen Train” and emphasizing Rengoku as a key character in promoting the upcoming film.

Rengoku’s Death Shifted The Story

Kyojuro Rengoku, known as the Flame Pillar within the Demon Slayer Corps, succeeded his father, Shinjuro, in this role upon his retirement. Through rigorous training under his father’s guidance, Kyojuro earned the title of a Demon Slayer. In the early stages of the series, Rengoku was a captivating and influential figure. The shocking turn of events at the conclusion of the Mugen Train Arc saw his demise, leaving many fans in disbelief.

Every moment presents us with a set of choices, and we seldom have endless possibilities or an abundance of time to ponder. The path you pick at any given moment shapes your identity.

— Kyojuro Rengoku

In the movie “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Mugen Train”, Rengoku met his end while battling the demon, Akaza. Following Enmu’s defeat, when Tanjiro and Inosuke were both weary and wounded, Akaza made its appearance. Tempting Rengoku to join their demon ranks, Akaza spoke, but Rengoku firmly refused. The ensuing fight was filled with intense action, ultimately ending with Rengoku’s defeat. With that, Akaza withdrew from the scene.

Tanjiro Will Finally Be Able to Avenge Him

In the movie, Tanjiro attempts to prevent Akaza from escaping, but Akaza clarifies that he’s not avoiding combat, but rather the sunlight. Subsequently, Akaza vanishes, leaving Tanjiro and Inosuke with the gravely wounded Rengoku. Moments before passing away, Rengoku urges Tanjiro to advance and “ignite his heart.” This poignant scene resonates deeply within the story, and it’s crucial because if Rengoku had lived through this fight, the protagonist of Demon Slayer would have been significantly different.

In the Infinity Castle storyline, Tanjiro Kamado – now stronger and more resolute than ever before – seizes an opportunity to retaliate for Rengoku’s death and the other wrongdoings of Akaza. Given the narrative pace, this potential confrontation could prove to be the most exhilarating battle in the first film.

Tanjiro and Tomioka Vs. Akaza Is One of the Best Battles

Delving into the enigmatic Infinity Castle Arc, I find myself standing at the threshold of a labyrinthine fortress suspended in an otherworldly dimension – hence its name. Though this sprawling complex is said to be Muzan’s domain, it’s Nakime who wields true power and holds the keys. As we split up to confront various demons lurking within, the air crackles with tension as we prepare for a fierce battle royale!

In their pursuit of Muzan and Tamayo, Tanjiro Kamado and Giyu Tomioka travel together. En route, they come across Akaza. Recognizing him instantly due to their past encounters, Tanjiro is taken aback, while Akaza expresses surprise at seeing “the supposedly weak Demon Slayer” again. What follows is a fierce battle, one that’s not just about Demon Slayers versus demons, but a clash of ideologies: Akaza’s belief that the weak are unworthy and Tomioka and Tanjiro’s conviction that the strong should support the weak. The fight is filled with thrilling moments, including Tomioka activating his mark and several moving flashbacks. In the end, both Tanjiro and Tomioka manage to overcome Akaza, emerging victorious from the battle.

When Will Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Be Released?

The first installment of the “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” trilogy is set to debut in Japan on July 18, 2025, with international screenings following in US and Canadian cinemas on September 12. As for the other two films, no official release dates have been confirmed yet, although there are whispers that they might come out in 2027 and 2029. In a recent conversation, Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini hinted that they may already know when these remaining movies will be released, which could indicate that the rumors are on point.

In simple terms, the trilogy films represent the concluding chapter of the story, and for enthusiasts who wish to complete the narrative, watching them is essential. However, the production crews haven’t disclosed the specific release dates yet.

It’s expected that the upcoming trilogy of “Mugen Train” will create history by being unprecedented global box office sensations in the realm of anime movies, considering its record-breaking success upon release – and this prediction seems plausible.

You can stream the anime series “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” on both Crunchyroll and Netflix. It is offered in a variety of languages, with both subtitled and dubbed versions available.
