Don’t Leave — Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Plays Crucial Sequel Scenes Through the Credits
Curious whether Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has a post‑credit scene? Short answer: yes — but not in the usual way. The film plays important story beats through the credits and then finishes with a final mural after the credits roll.
How the credits sequences work
Rather than ending the story before the credits, Infinity Castle continues into the credits themselves. In other words, the film does not have a separate mid‑ or post‑credit scene in the usual sense; instead, it carries key sequences through and during the credits.
Key scenes shown during the credits
The credits sequence includes multiple moments that set up the next film arriving in 2027. These are presented one after another while the credits roll.
Specifically, audiences see:
- Mitsuri Kanroji and Obanai Iguro fighting through the castle.
- Inosuke and a battered Zenitsu regrouping.
- Genya Shinazugawa searching for his brother Sanemi, who faces demons.
- Oyakata’s children sending crows to track Muzan, and the Infinity Castle expanding to hide him.
- Muzan appearing to taunt the Demon Slayers from inside a pulsating sphere, seemingly fusing with the fortress.
- The sequence ending on Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka, both unconscious.
What happens after the credits
After the credits finish, the film displays a large mural made up of Demon Slayer artwork. That mural is the final on‑screen reward for audiences who stay seated through the credits.
Should you stay in your seat?
Yes. Because essential story setup plays out during the credits, viewers who leave immediately at the start of the credits may miss important scenes that lead into the next film.
Release and context
Infinity Castle is the first of three films planned to conclude the Demon Slayer story. It is scheduled to open in the United States on Sept. 12. The next film in the sequence is expected in 2027.
For viewers who are catching up, it is useful to watch the anime’s earlier seasons and theatrical entries first so the characters and plot developments shown during the credits make sense.
