Shonen Jump News (@WSJ_manga on X), an independent account that shares news from the manga world, made a post on X saying that the “visitors giveaways” section of Jump Victory Carnival’s website fortuitously released that Demon Slayer’s Infinity Castle Arc will be animated as a movie trilogy.

Jump Victory Carnival is an annual event in Chiba, close to Tokyo, where fans come together to celebrate all the popular series published in Shueisha’s flagship magazine, Weekly Shonen Jump (as well as those that appear in V-Jump). 

The website’s merchandise section also hinted at the production of this exciting new trilogy, but as of now, all such information has been taken down. Here’s a fan tweet decoding the writing on one of the merchandise.

Furthermore, rumors are circulating about an accompanying image set slated to premiere in the upcoming issue of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on Monday, right after the penultimate episode of Season 4 airs on Sunday.

The grand finale, scheduled for June 30, seems perfect for such a significant announcement.

The Infinity Castle Arc witnesses the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps, the diabolical Muzan, and his demons.

While Muzan attempts to secure Nezuko and her coveted ability to resist sunlight, the highest-ranking Upper Moons will show their strength against the Hashira who still didn’t have a chance to enter battle.

Prepare for intense battles, heart-pounding suspense, and the clash of titanic forces!

Demon Slayer has already made its mark in cinema with releases like Mugen Train and To the Swordsmith Village. If the Final Arc becomes a standalone movie trilogy, it will become a thrilling and nostalgic conclusion that fans eagerly await.

While the prospect of Demon Slayer’s Infinity Castle Arc being adapted into a theatrical trilogy is tantalizing, fans eagerly await official confirmation. The anticipation is palpable, especially considering the success of previous cinematic ventures. 

As the community gears up for the Jump Victory Carnival event on July 21, 2024, hopes run high for more concrete details and perhaps even a thrilling announcement that will resonate with fans worldwide.
