The Demon Slayer Corps will take their last stand in the Infinity Castle.
Hulu and Disney+ have joined Crunchyroll in announcing the streaming of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part I. Crunchyroll first announced it at Anime Expo. A key visual featuring Tanjiro and Giyu coming down with their swords against a gleeful Akaza was dropped to accompany the news. The film will hit Disney+ and Hulu screens on September 28.
Premiering in Japan on July 18, 2025, the film has made about $252.5 million dollars in Japan and $740.5 million worldwide. The success of the film has made it the second highest-earning film of all time after Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away. The film covers the “Infinity Castle” arc in the manga.
Directed by Haruo Sotozaki, the film won numerous awards including “Best International Animation Award” at the Critics’ Choice Awards Celebration of Cinema and Television, “Film of the Year” at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, “Best Animation Film” at the Japan Academy Film Prize, and “Best International Animated Film” at the Saturn Awards. It also scored a nomination for “Best Motion Picture – Animated” at the Golden Globe Awards.
Following the events of the fourth season, the first part of the film takes the demon slayers into Kibutsuji’s Infinity Castle and separates them. He unleashes the rest of his Lower Rank and Upper Rank demons, hoping to eliminate them all. Each of the characters are forced to fight against powerful foes that push them to their limits.
Based on the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba follows Tanjiro Kamado’s quest to turn his sister, Nezuko, back into a human after she was transformed into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji, the sadistic progenitor of all demons in existence. The series first inspired an animated season but the sheer popularity and animation quality done by Studio Ufotable has catapulted Demon Slayer into worldwide fame.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle I comes out on Hulu and Disney+ on September 28.
