Story Summary of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc
Tanjiro Kamado, who joined the Demon Slayer Corps in hopes of saving his demon-turned sister Nezuko, fought alongside close allies Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira, growing stronger through numerous battles. He also shared fierce encounters with elite swordsmen known as the Hashira: Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku in the Mugen Train, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui in the Entertainment District, and Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji in the Swordsmith Village.
As the Corps prepares for the final battle against demons, the Hashira and their comrades undergo intensive joint training. But their efforts are abruptly disrupted when Muzan Kibutsuji, the originator of all demons, appears at the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters. In a sudden twist, Tanjiro and the Hashira are pulled into a mysterious dimension—Infinity Castle, the stronghold of the demons.
Thus begins the final confrontation between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons.
