Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle will be hitting Japan in just a few days, and the promotional roll out for the film is now in full force in the region. While the film had been sharing special posters for each of the characters in the months leading up to the release of the new film, it turns out there were just a few more that were never released online. Thanks to @setsuka_snow33 on X, however, we’ve gotten to see these posters that showcase the final demon that had yet to be revealed in the trailer and previous promotional materials. Check them below but there is a major spoiler to follow.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie Adds to Muzan’s Line Up

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle will be throwing Tanjiro Kamado and the surviving Demon Slayers straight into the titular castle for the final fights against Muzan Kibutsuji’s demonic forces. These character posters have yet to be released online, but have been put on display in Japan as they fully reveal the final member of the Upper Ranks that we’ll meet in the coming movie. Because alongside new looks at Muzan, Kokushibo, Doma and Akaza is the new addition of Kaigaku, the new Upper Rank Six.

Without giving too much away about who Kaigaku is for those looking to go into the movie with as little as possible, Kaigaku is a new addition to the Upper Ranks following Gyutaro’s defeat during the Entertainment District Arc. Each of the Upper Ranks will be facing off in massive battles against each of the key characters for these final battles, and Kaigaku ties into Zenitsu Agatsuma’s story for the coming trilogy. He was intensely staring down Kaigaku in the latest trailer, and we’ll soon see for ourselves why.
