Fans of Demon Slayer truly appreciate the incredible anime adaptation created by ufotable. It’s a remarkable series that will be remembered as one of the best. While season 4 has concluded, ufotable has announced that the story’s final arc will be released as a series of three movies.

The first film in the trilogy, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1, Akaza’s Return, came out in 2025. Leading up to its release, many fans wondered how successful it would be. While most predicted it would perform similarly to Mugen Train, the movie actually exceeded expectations.

  • Demon Slayer winning an Oscar would put it in a different league
  • The series’ popularity would skyrocket after the win

The Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie has been a massive success, earning high praise from both fans and critics. Many people loved the movie’s direction, story, action sequences, and stunning animation, all thanks to the excellent work of studio ufotable. While initially popular with anime fans, the movie quickly gained wider appeal, drawing in viewers who had never seen the series before. This growing audience translated into incredible box office numbers, making it the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time, surpassing the previous record held by Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.

Despite being released a while ago, ‘Infinity Castle’ hasn’t lost popularity – in fact, it’s continued to do incredibly well in theaters. It has now surpassed several major films like ‘Superman,’ ‘F1: The Movie,’ ‘How to Train Your Dragon,’ and ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.’ Currently, it’s the fifth highest-grossing movie of 2025, a remarkable success that has thrilled ‘Demon Slayer’ fans, with potential for even greater achievements ahead.

Given how strong Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is, it has a good chance of being nominated for the 2026 Oscars. The film is clearly well-made, so it also stands a decent chance of winning. If it does win, it could completely change the conversation about the greatest anime of all time.

Winning an Oscar would be a huge achievement for the Demon Slayer series, as very few anime movies have ever received this honor. It would likely make Demon Slayer even more popular and place it among the most successful anime of recent years. If it wins, Demon Slayer would be the first major anime series to earn such a prestigious award. While the competition will be tough, Demon Slayer has a strong chance of winning.

Demon Slayer Fans Are Waiting For The Next Infinity Castle Movie

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 2 Doesn’t Have A Release Date

While an Oscar would be a great achievement for Demon Slayer, fans are most eager to see the final two movies and conclude the story. Currently, ufotable hasn’t announced any release dates for these films, suggesting they’re still in production. However, there’s talk that ufotable is aiming to complete the movie trilogy by 2029.

According to rumors, the studio plans to release the second movie in 2027 and the third in 2029. While two years between releases seems like a short time, it’s likely ufotable worked on the first and second movies at the same time. After finishing the ‘Akaza’s Return’ arc, they probably moved most of the team to focus on the second film, giving them a head start and helping them meet their deadlines.

Fans are also wondering if the sequel will be as successful as the original. The studio will face a lot of expectations, but as long as the animation quality remains high, they should be in good shape.
