The curtain finally closes on the Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hashira Geiko-hen (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc) anime, but the thrilling ride doesn’t end there! The series’ eighth and final episode just dropped the bombshell that a brand new anime movie trilogy is on its way to adapt the next story arc, Mugen Jou-hen (Infinity Castle Arc)!But before we dive into the excitement of the new movie trilogy, let’s recap the journey so far. The Hashira Geiko-hen anime premiered with a 48-minute first episode on May 12th, and Crunchyroll simulcasted it worldwide with subtitles.

And remember when the first season aired in 26 episodes back in Spring 2019? Yeah, Aniplex of America licensed it, and simulcast it on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu!

The Mugen Ressha-hen (Mugen Train) sequel anime movie blew our minds when it opened in Japan in October 2020. But wait, there was more! A seven-episode television edit of the movie featuring new scenes aired from October to November in 2021. And who can forget the Yuukaku-hen (Entertainment District Arc) and Katanakaji no Sato-hen (Swordsmith Village Arc) television anime specials that premiered in December 2021 and April 2023, respectively?

But the creators’ passion for the series doesn’t stop there! Manga author Koyoharu Gotouge received an honorable mention at the 70th Jump Treasure Newcomer Manga Awards for their one-shot Kagarigari in 2013, which later became the prototype for Kimetsu no Yaiba. The supernatural action manga began serializing in Weekly Shounen Jump in February 2016 and concluded its four-year run in May 2020.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in July 2017 and simul-published it on its Shounen Jump platform. The 23rd and final volume went on sale in August 2021. Shueisha’s Manga Plus service also simul-published the manga in English beginning in January 2019.
