Demon Slayer Watch Order
- Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc (Season 1, 2019)
- Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train (2020 film) or Mugen Train Arc (2021 TV version)
- Entertainment District Arc (2021-2022)
- Swordsmith Village Arc (2023)
- Hashira Training Arc (2024)
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle I (2025 film)
Those are the arc names Aniplex of America uses on the official English website, which also lists the "To the Swordsmith Village" and "To the Hashira Training" theatrical events between seasons. Release order and story order are the same.
Where The Story Comes From
Every season adapts Koyoharu Gotouge's manga Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, published by Shueisha, and ufotable animates the series for Aniplex. Netflix Tudum describes the Infinity Castle films as an adaptation of the manga's Infinity Castle arc, the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji. The three-film plan means the anime will finish the main story in theaters rather than on TV.
Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc
The first season ran 26 episodes from April to September 2019 and introduces Tanjiro Kamado, whose family is slaughtered by a demon while his younger sister, Nezuko, survives but is turned into one. Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps to find a cure that can turn Nezuko human again, training under Sakonji Urokodaki and meeting Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. It ends with the Corps' leadership and the Hashira, the organization's strongest swordsmen, entering the story.
Mugen Train: Movie Or TV Arc?
The next part of the story has two versions. Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train opened in Japan in 2020 and covers Tanjiro's mission with the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku. It passed Spirited Away to become the highest-grossing film ever released in Japan, earning more than 40 billion yen at the Japanese box office. The Mugen Train Arc TV version followed in 2021 and runs 7 TV episodes: an original opening episode focused on Rengoku before he boards the train, then the film recut into 6 episodes.
The TV version contains the film's full story plus the new Rengoku episode, so the two versions share most of their material.
Entertainment District, Swordsmith Village And Hashira Training
The Entertainment District Arc ran across late 2021 and early 2022, sending Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke into the pleasure district with the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui. The Swordsmith Village Arc followed in 2023, focused on the village where the Corps' blades are forged, with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, and the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji. Both arcs ran 11 episodes.
The Hashira Training Arc premiered on Crunchyroll on Sunday, May 12, 2024, and the official English site marked its season finale on June 30. It follows the Corps' strongest swordsmen training the rest of the organization ahead of the final battle with Muzan Kibutsuji, and its 8 episodes end with the Demon Slayers falling into the Infinity Castle.
The Recap Screenings
Aniplex and ufotable have released several theatrical compilations, and none adds new story. The Japanese portal lists a special screening called "Sibling's Bond," built from early Season 1 episodes. The two world tour events, "To the Swordsmith Village" in 2023 and "To the Hashira Training" in 2024, paired the previous season's final episodes with the first episode of the next season. Everything in them also appears in the TV seasons.
Infinity Castle I
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle I opened in Japan on July 18, 2025 as the first chapter of a three-film adaptation, and its Japanese subtitle is "Akaza's Return." Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures released it in North American theaters on September 12, 2025, and it returned to theaters in the United States and Canada on March 6, 2026, including SCREENX showings for the first time.
The film's English dub features Zach Aguilar as Tanjiro, Abby Trott as Nezuko, Johnny Yong Bosch as Giyu Tomioka and Lucien Dodge as Akaza, according to Netflix Tudum. Channing Tatum joined the dub as Keizo, Akaza's former mentor, alongside Rebecca Wang, as announced on the official English site. Greg Chun voices Muzan Kibutsuji, and Matthew Mercer voices Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
At the Anime Awards on May 23, 2026, the film won Film of the Year and Best Score. The cast behind Akaza also won Best Voice Artist Performance in several languages, including English. The film was nominated at the Golden Globe Awards 2026 for Best Motion Picture - Animated and at the Producers Guild Awards for Outstanding Producer of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures.
Netflix's Tudum describes the setup without major spoilers: Muzan drags the Demon Slayers into his shifting fortress, separating them while Kagaya Ubuyashiki's children map the castle with help from the Kasugai crows. Tanjiro stays paired with Giyu Tomioka until they encounter Akaza, an Upper Rank Three demon.
Where To Stream Demon Slayer
