With just 90 days remaining until the July 18 premiere of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle Movie 1 in Japan, a new countdown visual has dropped, this time featuring the wild and fearless Inosuke Hashibira.
The new art shows Inosuke holding his Nichirin Blades with an Infinity Castle-theme background. We can expect Inosuke to have a big role in the final battle, and we should learn more about his backstory soon.
The Trio Assembles
This new Inosuke visual follows the recent countdown posters for Tanjiro Kamado (97 days) and Zenitsu Agatsuma (96 days), completing the main trio of the Demon Slayer friends. Each of them is about to face the ultimate test against the strongest demons alongside the Hashiras.
With ufotable returning to handle the animation, expectations are high for more breathtaking battle sequences we have gotten used to. The film will roll out internationally shortly after Japan, with global release dates set between August 14 and September 25.
What Will the Infinity Castle Movie 1 Be About?
Crunchyroll describes the movie:
Tanjiro Kamado – a boy who joined an organization dedicated to hunting down demons called the Demon Slayer Corps after his younger sister Nezuko was turned into a demon.
While growing stronger and deepening his friendships and bonds with fellow corps members, Tanjiro has battled many demons with his comrades – Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. Along the way, his journey has led him to fight alongside the Demon Slayer Corps’ highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira, including Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku aboard the Mugen Train, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui within the Entertainment District, as well as Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village.
As the Demon Slayer Corps members and Hashira engaged in a group strength training program, the Hashira Training, in preparation for the forthcoming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. With the head of the Demon Corps in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters but are plunged into a deep descent to a mysterious space by the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji.
The destination of where Tanjiro and Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the demons’ stronghold – the Infinity Castle. And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons ignites.
