The wait is almost over for anime fans in Chennai as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle premieres on September 12 at Vettri Theatres. The special screening will showcase the Japanese version with English subtitles, allowing fans to fully immerse themselves in the authenticity of the story.
Trailer Sets the Stage for the Final Battle
Ahead of the release, the official trailer has intensified excitement across the fandom. The gripping preview shows Tanjiro Kamado and the Hashira plunging into Muzan Kibutsuji’s sinister stronghold — the Infinity Castle, a dimension-shifting fortress that will serve as the battleground for the series’ final arc.
The trailer highlights Tanjiro’s growth since joining the Demon Slayer Corps, showcasing his resilience, his bond with Nezuko, and his unshakable determination to end Muzan’s reign of terror. Familiar comrades like Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira also return to the fray, while the Hashira — the Corps’ strongest swordsmen — stand ready for their most dangerous confrontation yet.
In just a few minutes, the trailer captures the essence of what fans can expect: a high-stakes, emotionally charged, and visually stunning showdown that marks the culmination of years of storytelling.
Story and Significance
Directed by Haruo Sotozaki and produced by Ufotable, the 2-hour and 35-minute epic adapts the Infinity Castle arc from Koyoharu Gotouge’s manga. The story begins as Muzan launches a devastating attack on the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, forcing Tanjiro and the Hashira into a perilous descent into the Infinity Castle. Inside, shifting landscapes and relentless demons set the stage for an all-out war.
The film builds upon the journey seen in earlier arcs: Rengoku’s sacrifice on the Mugen Train, Tengen Uzui’s battle in the Entertainment District, and the breathtaking fights in the Swordsmith Village. Now, everything converges into the final battle of light versus darkness.
Chennai’s Anime Celebration
For Chennai’s anime fandom, this is not merely a film release but a cultural milestone. The city has emerged as one of India’s strongest anime markets, with Vettri Theatres at the heart of special screenings. Fans can expect a packed house, vibrant discussions, and perhaps even cosplay tributes on the day of the premiere.
As bookings surge, Rakesh Gowthaman of Vettri Theatres emphasized the importance of the event: “This premiere is a celebration for anime fans who have been waiting for the Infinity Castle arc. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience on the big screen.”
With the Infinity Castle trailer already setting the internet abuzz, the countdown has officially begun. For fans, September 12 will mark not just a screening but a collective moment to witness the conclusion of one of the greatest anime sagas of all time.
