Demon Slayer Quietly Reveals A Disappointing Update For Infinity Castle Part 2

by

In recent years, Demon Slayer has become one of the most popular anime series. While the first season of the anime was well-received, the show really took off with its two movies. Demon Slayer: Mugen Train was a huge success, and that momentum continued with Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1. Because fans loved Infinity Castle Part 1, there’s a lot of excitement for the upcoming release of Infinity Castle Part 2.

Unfortunately, the release of Infinity Castle Part 2 will be delayed. The franchise recently announced a re-run of Demon Slayer in Japan, which means work on Part 2 is currently on hold.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 Was Released In July 2025

In 2025, Japan saw its most popular anime film ever with Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 — Akaza’s Return. Following the success of Mugen Train, high expectations were set for the new movie, but most people didn’t think it would actually earn more money at the box office.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 premiered in Japan in July 2025 and, remarkably, is still playing in theaters as of February 2026 – a clear sign of its huge success. It’s even been re-released in IMAX in Japan and select other countries. The movie isn’t losing momentum, and fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival on streaming services, which is expected later in 2026.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 2 Receives A Sad Release Date Update

Demon Slayer TV Anime Rerun Confirms Infinity Castle Won’t Be Released Before Summer 2027

The first part of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was fantastic, and now everyone is excited for the second movie in the series. Fans worldwide have been waiting for a release date, and the studio and distributors in Japan have just revealed a new, previously unannounced update.

Good news for Demon Slayer fans in Japan! The anime series will be re-aired on TV starting April 5, 2026. It will broadcast every Sunday morning on channels like Fuji TV from 9:30 to 10:00 AM (Japan Standard Time). The rerun will show all episodes from the beginning – season one all the way through season four.

Although Infinity Castle Part 2 wasn’t specifically discussed, it strongly suggests when the next movie will be released. The Demon Slayer anime currently has four seasons, totaling 63 episodes. If aired continuously, it would take 63 weeks to show all of them. This means that TV channels rebroadcasting the series won’t finish until late June 2027.

Since the Demon Slayer anime is being re-released, the second part of the Infinity Castle arc won’t be released until after June 2027 at the earliest. This re-release is likely to keep fans excited for the upcoming movie, meaning it definitely won’t come out this year, or before June 2027.

Considering the first ‘Infinity Castle’ film celebrated its second anniversary in Japan in July 2027, it’s likely the next movie will be released around the same time. Recent news quietly confirmed the release timeframe for ‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2’, and it’s made it clear to fans that a new film won’t be released this year.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 Still Has No Official Release Date

More Information Could Release at Anime Japan 2026

Currently, there’s no confirmed release date for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2. Earlier reports suggested the Infinity Castle arc would be released over six years, aligning with the end of the recently announced re-run, potentially pointing to a July 2027 release. However, fans are still waiting for an official announcement from the studio regarding the release date or even a general timeframe.

Jump Festa 2026 didn’t deliver much news for the series, leaving its future uncertain. Fortunately, Anime Japan 2026 is coming up in March, and it will feature a Demon Slayer presentation. This event might be where we finally learn the release date for the second part of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. However, after the lack of announcements at Jump Festa, fans should try to remain realistic in their expectations. While waiting for news, Demon Slayer fans can re-watch the anime, as it’s currently being re-run in Japan. Although no international TV channels have confirmed a re-run, the series is available on streaming services like Crunchyroll and Netflix.

What to Expect From Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2

Excitement is building for the second part of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle arc. The new movie picks up right after the first one, with Tanjiro and the others now facing even stronger demons. While Akaza and Kaigaku have been defeated, they must now confront threats like Kokushibo (Upper Rank 1), Doma (Upper Rank 2), and Nakame (Upper Rank 4). And looming over everything is the ultimate enemy: Muzan, the Demon King.

The second part of Infinity Castle is expected to wrap up the stories of all of Muzan’s followers, with Tanjiro’s friends and the Hashira taking them on. These fights promise to be even more action-packed and intense than those in the first movie.

This battle will be devastating for the Demon Slayers, and we can expect many of them to be injured or killed. The second movie is set to feature some of the most heartbreaking deaths in the entire series.
