- *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* is the first of three films adapting the "Infinity Castle" arc of the *Demon Slayer* manga series.

- It lacks a traditional post-credits scene, but offers a treat for those who stick around until the end.

- The box office hit is currently playing in theaters.

Labyrinthine lore be damned, the *Demon Slayer* franchise is a phenomenon.

Written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge (a pen name for the anonymous author), *Demon Slayer *debuted in 2016 in the pages of *Weekly Shonen Jump*, a manga magazine. The story follows Tanjiro Kamado, who joins the ancient Demon Slayer Corps after seeing his family killed by the man-eating demons terrorizing 20th-century Taishō-era Japan. His sister, Nezuko, was turned into a demon following the attack, and he hopes to restore her humanity.

Since its debut, Gotouge's manga has been adapted for TV, video games, and even stage plays. Fans worldwide have become obsessed with the story's complex world-building, which features different ranks of slayers and specialized breathing techniques that aid them in battle.

*Demon Slayer* has also proven itself as a titan at the global box office. A 2020 film adaptation, *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train, *emerged as the highest-grossing movie that year, and the franchise's latest, *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle, *is on track to do the same in 2025.

*Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle *(as we'll refer to it from here on out) raked in $70 million after opening in the U.S. on Sept. 12, and has since gone on to earn a whopping $450 million across over 80 countries worldwide.

And this is just the beginning, as *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* is the first in a trilogy. As such, eager fans are curious if the film sets up future entries via a post-credits tease. Here's what to expect from* Infinity Castle*'s closing credits.**

What is Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle about?

*Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* is the first in a trilogy of films adapting the "Infinity Castle" arc of the *Demon Slayer* manga series. It's a direct sequel to the fourth season of the *Demon Slayer* anime, so noobs may have a bit of catching up to do before catching it. But hey, nobody's stopping you from jumping into the deep end.

*Infinity Castle* finds Tanjiro as a seasoned slayer, having fought alongside some of the Corps' top-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira. They'll face their greatest challenge yet, however, in the Infinity Castle, a pocket dimension that defies the laws of gravity. It's also home to Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King who just might possess the key to turning Nezuko back into a human.

"And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons ignites," reads the official synopsis.

Is there a Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle post-credits scene?

No, there is no *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* post-credits sequence, at least not in the way that the anime series deploys them. Rather, the action continues to play out over the credits, setting the stage for the trilogy's second film.

The film ends with the Slayers at a disadvantage, with the Insect Hashira Shinobu killed and Tanjiro and Giyu gravely injured following their battle with Akaza. As the credits roll, audiences see several Hashiras navigating the creepy castle while licking their wounds. Muzan, meanwhile, is revealed to be ensconced in a pulsating cocoon of blood and flesh, which can't be good for our heroes.

Stick around to the end, and you'll get a special treat: a mural highlighting the Hashira together again. After the horrors they've endured, it's a bit of a gut punch.

When is Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 coming out?

As of this writing, release dates for the second and third films in the *Infinity Castle* trilogy have yet to be announced.
