Meet the Demons & Slayers of ‘Demon Slayer Infinity Castle’ in New Character Guide

As the epic, supernatural anime showdown heads into its second weekend in North American theaters, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Crunchyroll have released a new character guide for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, offering fans who haven’t yet caught the supernatural actioner a look at the key players. Infinity Castle debuted at No. 1 with a record-setting $70 million opening weekend, the highest for an anime feature in NorAm.

Based on the original manga by Koyoharu Gotoge (published in Shueisha’s Jump Comics), Infinity Castle is directed by Demon Slayer franchise veteran Haruo Sotozaki from a screenplay by animation production studio ufotable.

Synopsis: 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.
