A Glimpse into the Infinity Castle Plot
The storyline of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle" continues the thrilling journey of Tanjiro Kamado, a young boy who becomes part of the Demon Slayer Corps after his sister, Nezuko, is transformed into a demon. Throughout his quest, Tanjiro has grown stronger and forged deep connections with his fellow demon slayers, including Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. His adventures have led him to collaborate with the most elite members of the Corps, known as the Hashira.

As the Demon Slayer Corps prepares for an impending clash with the demons, the Hashira participate in a rigorous training regimen known as the Hashira Training. However, their preparations take a dire turn when Muzan Kibutsuji, the central antagonist, appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion, threatening the safety of the organization.
