Demon Slayer Infinity Castle releasing on Crunchyroll this April 9? Here’s what we know

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle, the first film in the Infinity Castle trilogy, was released in July last year. Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for its OTT debut. Recently, some reports claimed that the film could arrive on Crunchyroll on April 9.

However, neither the makers nor Crunchyroll have officially confirmed this release date so far.

While the anime title has been listed on the platform for some time, there is still no option available to stream the film yet.


The confusion appears to stem from earlier reports about the movie’s theatrical run in Japan. As ET had reported earlier, April 9 has been marked as the final day of its screening in Japanese cinemas. This detail is significant—once a film completes its theatrical cycle, it often paves the way for a digital release. For fans of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, this date could signal that an OTT announcement may follow soon, though nothing has been confirmed yet.

Demon Slayer Plot

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is set in a world where sword-wielding warriors battle demons possessing supernatural abilities. The story follows Tanjiro Kamado, a young boy who joins the Demon Slayer Corps after his family is slaughtered and his sister Nezuko Kamado is turned into a demon.

Infinity Castle marks the beginning of the final trilogy, bringing the story closer to its conclusion. The film raises the stakes as Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the Hashira enter the ever-shifting Infinity Castle to confront the Upper Rank demons and ultimately face Muzan Kibutsuji. Known for its intense pace and emotional depth, the arc has been adapted with a grand cinematic scale.

For those looking to revisit earlier chapters, previous seasons of Demon Slayer are currently available on platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and JioHotstar.
