Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 Sixth Key Visual and PV Revealed, Featuring Akaza’s Past and His Bond with Koyuki

The latest key visual for the upcoming film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle: Part 1 Akaza’s Return (set to premiere on July 18) has been unveiled. The sixth promotional visual depicts Hakuji (Akaza) and Koyuki together, accompanied by the poignant catchphrases: “I will protect you for the rest of my life.” and “Will you be my husband?”

Based on Koyoharu Gotouge’s hit manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from February 2016 to May 2020, Demon Slayer is set in Japan’s Taisho era, where demons prey on humans. The story follows Tanjiro Kamado, a boy whose family is slaughtered by demons, and his journey to join the Demon Slayer Corps in order to turn his demonized sister Nezuko back into a human and avenge his family. The manga has surpassed 220 million copies in circulation worldwide.

The anime adaptation began in April 2019 with the Unwavering Resolve Arc, followed by the record-shattering Mugen Train movie in October 2020, which grossed approximately ¥51.7 billion ($351.7 million) worldwide. Subsequent arcs include Entertainment District Arc (2021), Swordsmith Village Arc (2023), and Hashira Training Arc (2024). The ongoing Infinity Castle Arc is being produced as a trilogy, with Akaza Returns depicting the Demon Slayer Corps’ final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji and the Upper Rank Demons within the Infinity Castle.
