In other Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba-related news, there’s a new trailer for the Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 video game.
The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle movie trilogy will conclude the anime adaptation of Koyoharu Gotouge‘s manga, which started with the 2019 first season. The Shueisha-published manga started serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2016 and ended in 2020 with 23 tankoubon volumes.
Viz Media describes the manga as:
Learning to destroy demons won’t be easy, and Tanjiro barely knows where to start. The surprise appearance of another boy named Giyu, who seems to know what’s going on, might provide some answers—but only if Tanjiro can stop Giyu from killing his sister first!
Aside from the first season and 2020’s Mugen Train, the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime include the TV broadcast version of Mugen Train, Entertainment District Arc, Swordsmith Village Arc, and Hashira Training Arc.
