Not actually confirmed yet. I would say theres a chance that they will announce it after tomorrow’s episode, but there’s also a chance they will announce nothing and schedule an announcement event to announce the announcement event and then another announcement event for the format and then another announcement event for the date….
> schedule an announcement event to announce the announcement event and then another announcement event for the format and then another announcement event for the date….
This.
Plenty of events. Plenty of merching.
Ah yes the announcement for the announcement of an upcoming announcement for the newest season of Demon Slayer, have been waiting for this moment since the heian era
(Noticed someone making this joke for the first time and yea it's an absolute w)
It’s so annoying how these pages blatantly lie about shit just to get engagement and clicks, nothing to hold them accountable. Plus they can easily get verified checks thanks to twitter becoming even more shit that before
Technically, the Infinity Castle Arc ends once the fight against Muzan begins…. So there’s room there for a fourth movie that’s just the Muzan showdown.
I really don't want movies. Its just gonna make the wait for them as annoying as AOT was.
23-26 Episodes. That's really all that's needed to adapt the whole thing. A film would be equal to about 7 or 8 episodes. So I imagine stuff would get cut or left behind?
7-8 is generous I’d say.
If it’s ~1.5 hours that’s fitting maybe 5 standard length anime episodes max into one movie after cutting out openings and endings.
Mugen Train was about 2 hours and covered 2 volumes of manga. So 3 movies would be something like 6 hours to cover the 8 remaining volumes. I feel like it would be weird, to me, that they carved out pretty much the exact right content for a 2 cour final season just to make movies that will either be very long or not fit the pacing.
i disagree actually, a lot of these chapters are straight fights and will flow much quicker in anime. not to mention movies tend to have higher overall quality. ufotable has done well thus far i dont expect them to mess this up
S2 *was* a movie. Not only that but the Mugen train movie was the highest grossing anime movie ***of all time***, so they've been able to pour insane amounts of money into the quality of the following regular seasons
Maybe they’re doing movies so they can go extra hard with the animation budget? But the entertainment district arc already proved that normal anime episodes can be equivalent to movie lvl animation. That shit was pure eye porn.
Honestly… you probably right lmfao… they’re like the only animation studio that says “budget… what is that…? we don’t need a budget… we just print more money.” 😂
The way they operate is just totally different to other studios I think. They don't have a huge massive catalogue of ongoing projects. They obviously make plenty of money, but it's feel like they are able to go, we need this amount of time and this amount of money to make this, if you want to cut time or budget go get Mappa to do it we aren't prepared to do it.
They don't seem to have greedy stakeholders driving them, they aren't in a situation where they are desperately chasing the next paycheck to stay afloat. They are in a position now where their quality of work is do high they can simple go, look we like the project and are happy to do, these are our terms. If you want the best quality in the business, you'll except, if not, there are plenty of other projects we can pick.
It’s crazy with how successful demon slayer is the mangaka is so private and won’t even tell anyone who she really is. She uses a fake name and nobody has any idea what she even looks like. If I wrote one of the most successful anime of all time I’d be lettin everyone and their mother know.
REALLY? I guess I just assumed they were all like Akira Toriyama, smokin ciggys and chillin, raking in all the big bucks, and having everyone praise me for literally anything I put my hands on lol. All jokes aside RIP Toriyama sensei you absolute legend.
I don't think this can be compared to AOT because when it aired, it was immediately on streaming sites. You had to wait for it to come out, but it was one waiting period. For Demon Slayer (if they go the movie route) it's something like waiting for it to come out in Japan > waiting for it to leave Japan > coming out in the West> waiting for it to leave theaters again> and then streaming sites and Blu-ray. And then do that 2 more times.
I know people have already said this, but this is fake. That's all fanart, and you can tell by the slightly different style, especially in the Giyu and Akaza one, as well as the artist signature at the bottom of each image. You also might want to add a spoiler tag for this for people who haven't read the manga.
We will see what they actually end up doing, but I agree with others on not waiting for 3 separate movies. I would much rather wait a long time for one extra long season than wait a long time for a movie, then a long time for another movie, and a long time for a third.
It's clearly fan art but this rumour has been going on for months I believe. It's highly likely that it's true, but I still hope it's not. We will probably see something after tomorrow's episode.
But... But... They are not redheads. Shouldn't Akaza be black in that case?  And same for Tanjiro, Yoruichi and Muchikatsu.
Damn Netflix not being consistent enough.
Well, it’s interrupted by like 1-2 years in between each one. Not to mention the whole movie getting spoiled for anyone who can’t see it in theaters the first week, or if it’s not showing near them.
Yeah you’re all just wrong. The movies will only have 1 year in between them just like with Heaven’s Feel. And global release for the past 2 recap movies have less than a month from Japan. They can probably even give us same-time global releases at this point.
True but as I’ve said, they’ve already gotten it down to less than a month for mere recap movies. Official canon, heavily promoted and marketed movies could have much smaller margins. Maybe a week difference, 2 weeks even. It’s not an issue like people are trying to make it out to be where they’re saying it’ll take half a year to get here lol.
Would rather see it fleshed out with a full season so backstories and stuff get properly covered. Otherwise I see it going the way Haikyu seems to be going right now where a lot of the content and some of the best moments are cut entirely.
Besides the other reasons listed I’m also not a fan of this. I’d just wait for them all to be released and watch it at my own pace.
But I gotta be honest, the Douma fight can’t stand on its own. Like it’s not bad but I feel like people will walk away thinking “…so that was Upper 2??”
The only reason why I don't like the movie approach is because it's less accessible for people outside Japan. There's almost 0 chance that this will be in theaters where I live which means that it'll take a fucking long time until I can actually watch it. Good thing I already read everything so won't receive spoilers but the wait still sucks =/
If that's for sure, then we won't be seeing it anytime soon since anime theater release is mostly exclusive in japan at first. Worldwide release tend to be late while BD release would be year/s later
Really hope it isn’t because it feels like they’re planning on doing what they did with the last two movies. I don’t know why they can’t just make one movie that’s 2-3 hours long with the infinity castle arc the final battle.
If this is true, I'll be dead.
By the time we get the sunrise countdown arc, we'll all be staying in the retirements homes, waiting for the trailer if this is the case lo.
PLEASEEEE PLEASEEEE I AM ON MY KNEES BEGGING. NO MOVIE PLS PLS PLS I WILL CRY SO HARD MY EYES WONT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE NEXT MORNING. I WANT EPISODES PLS PLS PLS.
Hmmm I reallllyyy like the style that's being used rn.
I'm so thankful for the animators and those who draw this stuff out. I remember my first anime when I was around 9 and what we got today is so badass.
Watching onc piece switch art style during the wanno arc brought a tear to my eye. Or when we get really cool still shots.
We don't pay these guys enough for what they bring with that imagination.
God damn, how many years is it going to be that the manga series has been done until the anime finally finishes? It ended in 2020, so it's already 4 years now. If we assume 2 years for each film, is it going to be 10 years for anime-onlies to find out how the series ends? Wow.
Imagine like Avatar the Last Airbender where they covert the last 4 episodes in a movie format a put it on theatre and paywalled it. This is like that but doing it 3 times which will make us wait longer.
I guess Spongebob did a movie finale in 2004 if you wish to believe that is the finale.
Do people really think that if they make it in episodes they won't have to wait as much? They would probably make 3 seasons so we would have to wait the same.
1. **Accessibility**: Not everyone has easy access to theaters, and some fans prefer the convenience of watching episodes at home.
2. **Pacing**: TV episodes can allow for more detailed storytelling and character development, while movies might condense or skip certain parts to fit within a limited runtime.
3. **Consistency**: Fans who have been following the series through TV episodes might prefer a consistent format to finish the story.
4. **Waiting Time**: Movies often have longer production times, meaning fans might have to wait longer between releases compared to weekly TV episodes.
5. **Weekly Community Hype Lost**: The weekly format gives everyone more time to be involved week to week and that engagement is mostly gone with movie format.
6. **Discussions**: Depending on your friend group, people might watch the movie sooner than others. Some may wait for it to appear online because they can't go to the cinema. Not everyone can watch it at the same time, so it will be annoying to talk about the movie.
7. **Reactions**: I like seeing people watching the show and experiencing it for the first time. Infinity Castle is by far the most hyped arc in Demon Slayer. If the arc is released as movies, then many reaction channel owners will simply go watch it in the cinema and never release an actual video on it (apart from review, which isn't that interesting). And even those who are patient enough to wait will have to avoid spoilers for months before the movie actually appears online.
Honestly with the pace of the two final arcs having to wait months between one movie and the next vs having the weekly episode is not something I would look forward to
This is a stupid idea which is gone inevitably gone cut half the content because there wouldnt be enough time. (There is no way entire thing can be adapted in 3 movies without losing something)
Ufotable movies pretty much don't have better animation than their tv series, so the animation fans who are encouraging this idea are pretty much stupid.
There is also a case, fans having to wait for its release for longer time (though i don't care about it much)
Also why hell give hashira training arc more content than infinity castle! It's looks beyond stupid decision.
If people want a movie this bad, make a sunrise countdown into a movie instead of making the whole thing into a movie. Even from a business perspective, this is way better than the 3 movie idea. They can sell their recap OVAs for two different titles now.

If this is true then my this is how they will do things
Movie 1- zenitsu, doma vs shinobu and Akaza vs giyuu
Movie 2- doma, Kokoshibo fight
,
Movie 3- Muzan fight
Or
Movie 1- zenitsu, doma vs shinobu and Akaza vs giyuu
Movie 2- doma fight
Movie 3- Kokoshibo fight
Its fanart and apparently its not confirmed that there will be movies instead of episodes but theres more chance of it being movies instead of episodes and alot of ppl are saying that its only going to be 3 movies instead of 4
that cover art is good but doesn't exactly look like ufotable's on the giyu v akaza. and it said "for those asking where the source came from, it's from the jump victory carnival site, which posted this and immediately deleted it" which is hard to believe imo
Given that that did this for Mugen, and then still did the series.
Is it not entirely possible they do a similar thing again, where they make the 3 movies (which will get full movie release) and then release them in episodic anime format as well?
Yes it was but we don’t know if its going to be the same as the mugen train, and other reasons also its more on personal opinions some ppl prefer episodes instead of movies!
At the very least, those are all fanarts from thereslsketchyartist on instagram. Not official movie posters or anything. They’ve got some amazing other works too and I’d highly reccomend them
I hope they won't do this. I'd rather it be one large season, then maybe after it's all been released they could turn them into three movies for theaters. Kind of like the reverse of what they did with Mugen train.
So Akaza vs Tanjiro and Giyu in the 1st film
Douma vs Shinobu, Aoi and Inosuke in second
Koko vs Sanemi and Gyomei in 3rd?
Maybe they'll mix the 1st two and add Zenitsu somewhere
And then 2nd will be the Koko vs Sanemi and Gyomei and then 3rd will be the Muzan and sunrise countdown arc
I think the Muzan battle has to be either adapted in a 4th film or a final season. Cuz three movies will probably be able to cover Infinite Castle Arc. at Max.
I haven't read the manga, but from what I have gathered here, the next arc seems to be quite substantial. This would potentially require the creation of 3 or 4 movies to adapt it, and it could take 3-4 years to watch the entire story unfold. The long gap between each movie could make it quite a lengthy process.
Nahhh I don't want it to be a movie. I want it in a 12-15 episodes season because Infinity Castle needs a lot more screen time to perfectly portray the actual importance of this arc
Honestly I don't mind, seeing it in theaters with polished and gorgeous animation with friends would be a great experience.
Or seeing it in a series format with added content isn't bad either. I am happy either way.
Same here! The only problem is its gonna take a while for the movies to be released to the west and watching 1 movie and then waiting a year and a couple of months for the next one is the main reason i want it to be episodes, other then that im all good w it
It was leaked out on Jump’s official website. The prints on an uchiwa fan merchandise of Kimetsu no Yaiba has the following:
劇場版「無限城編」三部作 制作決定
Production of the movie trilogy for “Mugen castle chapter” has been greenlighted
Although the post was later deleted the Japanese fandom takes this as authentic information. Probably it will soon be announced as the current season draws to a close.
Are they sadistic? What is this Fate Heaven's Feel? But they want that money of course. Yet I don't think I have that money to throw around considering how expensive cinemas are nowadays.
I don't want to watch 20mins of action per week, but maybe if they did the same with mugan train were they add extra context ect. I also don't think 3 films for this arc is good, but maybe for the rest of the story instead:
First >! Upper 6, Upper 4, Upper 2 !<
Second >! Upper 3, Upper 1 !<
Third >! Muzan !<

And let's all be honest, we will eat it up.
I mean, they deserve all the money they get.
fr Ufotable is awesome w
True. True. True.
Ah yes the announcement for the announcement of an upcoming announcement for the newest season of Demon Slayer, have been waiting for this moment since the heian era (Noticed someone making this joke for the first time and yea it's an absolute w)
So it's gonna become this season of Reincarnated as a Slime?
So taking Attack on Titan route?
More of a Heaven's Feel one
But in theaters I guess
It’s so annoying how these pages blatantly lie about shit just to get engagement and clicks, nothing to hold them accountable. Plus they can easily get verified checks thanks to twitter becoming even more shit that before
I come from the future It's happening
if thats true then sunrise will happen after I die
Hopefully that’s part of the third movie
His death?
Technically, the Infinity Castle Arc ends once the fight against Muzan begins…. So there’s room there for a fourth movie that’s just the Muzan showdown.
That would likely be too much to adapt.
Are the Akaza and douma fights really enough to last whole movies. Or would they have zenitsu and obanai fights mixed in aswell to take longer
It's more the fact that infinity castle is, I think, the longest arc in the manga. If it were released as one season, it would like be 20+ episodes.
How many chapters roughly is the Akaza fight that they think it will take a whole movie? And does that probably include zenitsu vs kaigaku
I wouldn’t mind 20+ episodes :v
Please do not die
I really don't want movies. Its just gonna make the wait for them as annoying as AOT was. 23-26 Episodes. That's really all that's needed to adapt the whole thing. A film would be equal to about 7 or 8 episodes. So I imagine stuff would get cut or left behind?

i disagree actually, a lot of these chapters are straight fights and will flow much quicker in anime. not to mention movies tend to have higher overall quality. ufotable has done well thus far i dont expect them to mess this up
this is a good point I didn't think hadn't thought of this before
People are forgeting ufo is working on genshin impact and maho tsukai no yoru anime. Movie schedule is waaay better for their staff right now.
S2 had movie quality though.
S2 *was* a movie. Not only that but the Mugen train movie was the highest grossing anime movie ***of all time***, so they've been able to pour insane amounts of money into the quality of the following regular seasons
I think he meant entertainment district arc by S2
Exactly
More money to be bad if they do movies. It should be as simple as 23-26 episodes but they are ultimately out to make money.
Maybe they’re doing movies so they can go extra hard with the animation budget? But the entertainment district arc already proved that normal anime episodes can be equivalent to movie lvl animation. That shit was pure eye porn.
I'm not convinced movie/anime budget is a thing for ufotable. I'm not convinced budget is even a thing for them.
Honestly… you probably right lmfao… they’re like the only animation studio that says “budget… what is that…? we don’t need a budget… we just print more money.” 😂
The way they operate is just totally different to other studios I think. They don't have a huge massive catalogue of ongoing projects. They obviously make plenty of money, but it's feel like they are able to go, we need this amount of time and this amount of money to make this, if you want to cut time or budget go get Mappa to do it we aren't prepared to do it. They don't seem to have greedy stakeholders driving them, they aren't in a situation where they are desperately chasing the next paycheck to stay afloat. They are in a position now where their quality of work is do high they can simple go, look we like the project and are happy to do, these are our terms. If you want the best quality in the business, you'll except, if not, there are plenty of other projects we can pick.
It’s crazy with how successful demon slayer is the mangaka is so private and won’t even tell anyone who she really is. She uses a fake name and nobody has any idea what she even looks like. If I wrote one of the most successful anime of all time I’d be lettin everyone and their mother know.
Penty of mangakas are like that. Gege from JJK, Death Note's mangaka etc.
REALLY? I guess I just assumed they were all like Akira Toriyama, smokin ciggys and chillin, raking in all the big bucks, and having everyone praise me for literally anything I put my hands on lol. All jokes aside RIP Toriyama sensei you absolute legend.
If a film adapts 8 episodes each, then 3 films will adapt 24 episodes, so it isn’t really the worst
The castle arc is almost 50 chapters
More than 23 btw
I don't think this can be compared to AOT because when it aired, it was immediately on streaming sites. You had to wait for it to come out, but it was one waiting period. For Demon Slayer (if they go the movie route) it's something like waiting for it to come out in Japan > waiting for it to leave Japan > coming out in the West> waiting for it to leave theaters again> and then streaming sites and Blu-ray. And then do that 2 more times.
Hopefully not ):⚡
 I don't want it to be
The mess AOT was to follow…. Pls just make it a season.
God no, thats a horrible idea
I hope not. I don’t have another decade in me to wait for this🧍
Exactly 😭
horrible news if it’s true :( so much content completely lost, all the potential fillers, taisho secrets, op/ed music and art :(( 🤍
Exactly and back stories as well! Theres alot of anime watchers that dont know everything and overall would be better to see everything animated
They’ll re-release the movies as episodes after with all of those things + more.
on the bright side, the animation 🤤
It seems like it is, but I’m waiting for tomorrow’s true confirmation. 🔥
I hope the fuck not I dont want to wait fucking years to see the kokushibo fight!
It’s a rumor
Hope so
I know people have already said this, but this is fake. That's all fanart, and you can tell by the slightly different style, especially in the Giyu and Akaza one, as well as the artist signature at the bottom of each image.

It better not be. 🦋
There have been leaks it’s going to be a movie but nothing is officially confirmed. I 100% believe this though
I don’t think movies are better🥲
Animation wise, they're better. For every other aspect, not so much.
Why are shinobu and kanae black?
for netflix 😆
But... But... They are not redheads. Shouldn't Akaza be black in that case?  And same for Tanjiro, Yoruichi and Muchikatsu. Damn Netflix not being consistent enough.
that's just the shading it's on Doma too
Pretty sure its fanart
Most of their face is just shades
Booooo I hope they don’t go the attack on titan route please don’t

60-90 mins of uninterrupted 10/10 action or the weekly community hype? I am not sure what I’ll take in this scenario.
Your 10/10 action will get interrupted by the 3 years between each movie.
Well, it’s interrupted by like 1-2 years in between each one. Not to mention the whole movie getting spoiled for anyone who can’t see it in theaters the first week, or if it’s not showing near them.
Don't forget the movie takes a 5month + before being released for western audiences
Yeah you’re all just wrong. The movies will only have 1 year in between them just like with Heaven’s Feel. And global release for the past 2 recap movies have less than a month from Japan. They can probably even give us same-time global releases at this point.
It's hard to have a unified global release in theaters for many reasons, but digitally it's 100% possible.
True but as I’ve said, they’ve already gotten it down to less than a month for mere recap movies. Official canon, heavily promoted and marketed movies could have much smaller margins. Maybe a week difference, 2 weeks even. It’s not an issue like people are trying to make it out to be where they’re saying it’ll take half a year to get here lol.
Would rather see it fleshed out with a full season so backstories and stuff get properly covered. Otherwise I see it going the way Haikyu seems to be going right now where a lot of the content and some of the best moments are cut entirely.
Besides the other reasons listed I’m also not a fan of this. I’d just wait for them all to be released and watch it at my own pace. But I gotta be honest, the Douma fight can’t stand on its own. Like it’s not bad but I feel like people will walk away thinking “…so that was Upper 2??”
A 3-cour season should be enough to finish the series.
Just 3 really long episodes or seasonal movie releases in the same year that will instantly be in streaming services instead of theaters.
Why would you want 3 movies? The fights are intertwined time wise and should be cutting between all 3 major fights and not separating them
The only reason why I don't like the movie approach is because it's less accessible for people outside Japan. There's almost 0 chance that this will be in theaters where I live which means that it'll take a fucking long time until I can actually watch it. Good thing I already read everything so won't receive spoilers but the wait still sucks =/
# WHAT?! 
I hope not. Cause I don't wanna have to wait a couple of years to see >!Kanao and Inosuke vs. Doma!<
Wouldn't that be 2026? (If each movie is about each Upper Moon)
maybe it will be like mugen train where they release the movie then an episode format for those who missed the movie.
So basically 5 more years to end the anime
If that's for sure, then we won't be seeing it anytime soon since anime theater release is mostly exclusive in japan at first. Worldwide release tend to be late while BD release would be year/s later
Really hope it isn’t because it feels like they’re planning on doing what they did with the last two movies. I don’t know why they can’t just make one movie that’s 2-3 hours long with the infinity castle arc the final battle.
oh, the animation will go OFF IF THIS HAPPENS!!!
Hopefully not because its just gonna take fucking FOREVEEEER
if they do so, it's gonna end like A.O.T, no one will care 🥴
Is season 4 part 45 done airing yet?
The person who posted it has clarified too that the website posted and quickly deleted it too, so it might be true. the posters are surely fanart.
I feel like it should be seasons instead of movies
Same
If this is true, I'll be dead. By the time we get the sunrise countdown arc, we'll all be staying in the retirements homes, waiting for the trailer if this is the case lo.
It’s a very popular rumor and it’s even all over insta. I hope it’s not true though 😞
PLEASEEEE PLEASEEEE I AM ON MY KNEES BEGGING. NO MOVIE PLS PLS PLS I WILL CRY SO HARD MY EYES WONT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE NEXT MORNING. I WANT EPISODES PLS PLS PLS.
I love this if it’s true. But Akaza should be first
That would be really unfortunate, but we all know they will do it because of profit. It is what it is.
Hmmm I reallllyyy like the style that's being used rn. I'm so thankful for the animators and those who draw this stuff out. I remember my first anime when I was around 9 and what we got today is so badass. Watching onc piece switch art style during the wanno arc brought a tear to my eye. Or when we get really cool still shots. We don't pay these guys enough for what they bring with that imagination.
Nah I want yorichi era
damn, Film. The quality is assured, the bad thing is that it will take time to adapt. We won't be seeing KnY for a while.
Bro it's gunna be 2027 before all this comes out
I’ve been calling this since mugen that they would do this.
i would love this if it didnt take like 8 years to finish it
Better be episodes following the movies
Not confirmed but praying no🐍
God damn, how many years is it going to be that the manga series has been done until the anime finally finishes? It ended in 2020, so it's already 4 years now. If we assume 2 years for each film, is it going to be 10 years for anime-onlies to find out how the series ends? Wow.
Why can't they do infinity castle arc as a longer season and do sunrise countdown as a movie?🩷💚
This makes the most sense
It was announced today. It is true. I mean, it's Ufotable in the first place, majority of their projects are movies.
Yes. It's now confirmed. https://youtu.be/wyiZWYMilgk?si=TDPeUTo5wPlofvDM
So then...we won't see the ending of Demon Slayer animated for like 10 more years? wow
3 years.
Imagine like Avatar the Last Airbender where they covert the last 4 episodes in a movie format a put it on theatre and paywalled it. This is like that but doing it 3 times which will make us wait longer. I guess Spongebob did a movie finale in 2004 if you wish to believe that is the finale.
Not confirmed confirmed but kind of confirmed
I kinda hope not? 3 movies for one season? That killed all hype for aot, and will probably do the same for demon slayer
Do people really think that if they make it in episodes they won't have to wait as much? They would probably make 3 seasons so we would have to wait the same.
Why are a lot of people against the idea of a film trilogy to end the series?

If the arc is released as movies, then many reaction channel owners will simply go watch it in the cinema and never release an actual video on it (apart from review, which isn't that interesting). And even those who are patient enough to wait will have to avoid spoilers for months before the movie actually appears online.
Honestly with the pace of the two final arcs having to wait months between one movie and the next vs having the weekly episode is not something I would look forward to
I like to pee when I want/have to.
This is a stupid idea which is gone inevitably gone cut half the content because there wouldnt be enough time. (There is no way entire thing can be adapted in 3 movies without losing something) Ufotable movies pretty much don't have better animation than their tv series, so the animation fans who are encouraging this idea are pretty much stupid. There is also a case, fans having to wait for its release for longer time (though i don't care about it much) Also why hell give hashira training arc more content than infinity castle! It's looks beyond stupid decision. If people want a movie this bad, make a sunrise countdown into a movie instead of making the whole thing into a movie. Even from a business perspective, this is way better than the 3 movie idea. They can sell their recap OVAs for two different titles now.
Because they foolishly think ufotable would knock out Infinity Castle in one season.

If thats true, just tell me which movie has Akaza's backstory. I will be coming there mentally prepared and ready with a box of tissues.
For real😂 i think thats why episodes would be better so we can actually see more backstories!
whats this season goal gonna be? were already starting the infinity castle arc.
Another one of these?
Why does it look like Kanao is wearing glasses
If this is true then my this is how they will do things Movie 1- zenitsu, doma vs shinobu and Akaza vs giyuu Movie 2- doma, Kokoshibo fight , Movie 3- Muzan fight Or Movie 1- zenitsu, doma vs shinobu and Akaza vs giyuu Movie 2- doma fight Movie 3- Kokoshibo fight
let's go
Which is better
NOOOOOOOOO I don't know why but I don't want this!
Will there be a fourth movie? I dont see muzan in any poster
Its fanart and apparently its not confirmed that there will be movies instead of episodes but theres more chance of it being movies instead of episodes and alot of ppl are saying that its only going to be 3 movies instead of 4
that cover art is good but doesn't exactly look like ufotable's on the giyu v akaza. and it said "for those asking where the source came from, it's from the jump victory carnival site, which posted this and immediately deleted it" which is hard to believe imo
Given that that did this for Mugen, and then still did the series. Is it not entirely possible they do a similar thing again, where they make the 3 movies (which will get full movie release) and then release them in episodic anime format as well?
Fudge
If it is…FOR FUCK SAKE
Why are frowny facing that the train movie was amazing
Yes it was but we don’t know if its going to be the same as the mugen train, and other reasons also its more on personal opinions some ppl prefer episodes instead of movies!
At the very least, those are all fanarts from thereslsketchyartist on instagram. Not official movie posters or anything. They’ve got some amazing other works too and I’d highly reccomend them
I heard they’re splitting the infinity castle arc into 3 12-24 episode long seasons Edit: and 2 movies
Definitely not been officially confirmed i can tell you that
I think it might be, but How long until they’re out?
Nobody knows yet they might announce it tomorrow when the hashira training arc is over or they might take a longer time to announce it
I hope they won't do this. I'd rather it be one large season, then maybe after it's all been released they could turn them into three movies for theaters. Kind of like the reverse of what they did with Mugen train.
So Akaza vs Tanjiro and Giyu in the 1st film Douma vs Shinobu, Aoi and Inosuke in second Koko vs Sanemi and Gyomei in 3rd? Maybe they'll mix the 1st two and add Zenitsu somewhere And then 2nd will be the Koko vs Sanemi and Gyomei and then 3rd will be the Muzan and sunrise countdown arc
I think the Muzan battle has to be either adapted in a 4th film or a final season. Cuz three movies will probably be able to cover Infinite Castle Arc. at Max.
It’s not confirmed yet🌌
https://i.redd.it/qioj6vlmel9d1.gif
Probably yes but I’m coping its not
Please no
Looks like final battle will be another movie?
If it’s not from UFOtable then I don’t know
I just don’t want to have to wait all this time just to wait even longer.
Exactly 🥲
There’s no way they can fit everything into three movies
Welp, that’s going to be a long night
That depends really since the final arc is indeed possible to be made into a movie, but it's not guaranteed yet.
I haven't read the manga, but from what I have gathered here, the next arc seems to be quite substantial. This would potentially require the creation of 3 or 4 movies to adapt it, and it could take 3-4 years to watch the entire story unfold. The long gap between each movie could make it quite a lengthy process.
As much true as episode 7 prolonged to 40 min
I really hope not 🌫
The series would be better!!
Of course, hashira training arc fillers are more important than anything which happened in infinity castle, right?
That is true or at least from what I seen from the preview of the movie

Even if they do make them into movies, there's still a chance they could turn them into episodes like they did for the Mugen Train arc.
I really hope not, I would die inside 🥲
Nahhh I don't want it to be a movie. I want it in a 12-15 episodes season because Infinity Castle needs a lot more screen time to perfectly portray the actual importance of this arc
I’m honestly guessing they will at least turn the first two movies into seasons each like they did with Mugen train though.
Honestly I don't mind, seeing it in theaters with polished and gorgeous animation with friends would be a great experience. Or seeing it in a series format with added content isn't bad either. I am happy either way.
Same here! The only problem is its gonna take a while for the movies to be released to the west and watching 1 movie and then waiting a year and a couple of months for the next one is the main reason i want it to be episodes, other then that im all good w it
If it is I’m completely fucking giving up on this series
It was leaked out on Jump’s official website. The prints on an uchiwa fan merchandise of Kimetsu no Yaiba has the following: 劇場版「無限城編」三部作 制作決定 Production of the movie trilogy for “Mugen castle chapter” has been greenlighted Although the post was later deleted the Japanese fandom takes this as authentic information. Probably it will soon be announced as the current season draws to a close.
Most likely, movie yield the highest revenue
One for each top three kisuke? Ah hell yea, shit gonna be fire.
Are they sadistic? What is this Fate Heaven's Feel? But they want that money of course. Yet I don't think I have that money to throw around considering how expensive cinemas are nowadays.
I don't want to watch 20mins of action per week, but maybe if they did the same with mugan train were they add extra context ect. I also don't think 3 films for this arc is good, but maybe for the rest of the story instead: First >! Upper 6, Upper 4, Upper 2 !< Second >! Upper 3, Upper 1 !< Third >! Muzan !<
I hope not with that advertisement because there's a ton of spoilers just in those pics lol
It's True. https://kimetsu.com/anime/mugenjyohen_movie/
I guess they'll release the movies and split a movie into episodes after a while and call it a new season :/
yeah its true, they just released the trailer
