San Diego Comic-Con 2025 is set to host a highly anticipated “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” panel, bringing together key figures from the acclaimed anime series and its upcoming cinematic conclusion. Fans will gather in the prestigious Hall H on Saturday, July 26, at 5:45 p.m. PDT, for an event promising exclusive insights and footage into the next chapter of the global phenomenon.
A Gathering of Creative Powerhouses
The panel boasts an impressive lineup of talent, underlining the significance of Demon Slayer‘s presence at one of the world’s largest pop culture conventions. Confirmed guests include director Haruo Sotozaki and director of photography Yuichi Terao, both representing the renowned animation studio ufotable. This appearance marks a notable occasion as it will be the first time representatives from ufotable have traveled to the United States for an event since the Demon Slayer anime first premiered in 2019. Their direct involvement promises a deep dive into the visual storytelling and animation techniques that have captivated audiences worldwide.
Joining the creative team are pivotal voice actors: Natsuki Hanae, the Japanese voice of protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, and Aleks Le, who voices Zenitsu Agatsuma in the English dub. Their presence offers fans a unique opportunity to hear directly from the voices that bring these beloved characters to life. Furthermore, global J-pop sensation LiSA, widely recognized for performing numerous iconic theme songs for the series, including “Gurenge” and “Homura,” will also be in attendance. LiSA previously performed at the Crunchyroll Concert Series at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, marking her first U.S. performance in nearly a decade. Her return to the SDCC stage for this panel underscores her integral role in the Demon Slayer phenomenon.
Unveiling the ‘Infinity Castle’ Saga
The primary focus of the San Diego Comic-Con panel will be “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” the highly anticipated cinematic trilogy that concludes the popular anime series. Attendees can expect discussions about the upcoming movie, along with a special presentation of exclusive footage, marking the first time international audiences will see it outside of Japan.
The Infinity Castle arc represents the final, all-out battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons, culminating in a confrontation with the formidable Muzan Kibutsuji. The first film in this trilogy premiered in Japan on July 18, 2025, and is set for an international release starting in August, with screenings in the United States and Canada beginning on September 12, 2025. The movie is notably the longest in the franchise to date, surpassing Mugen Train by 38 minutes, and will open in a record number of theaters in Japan.
Crunchyroll’s Broader Presence at SDCC 2025
Beyond the main panel, Crunchyroll, a key partner in the Demon Slayer franchise, will amplify the fan experience at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. The streaming service will host a range of interactive experiences inspired by the Infinity Castle film at their booth, #4135, throughout the convention weekend. These activities offer attendees further opportunities to immerse themselves in the world of Demon Slayer.
The presence of such high-profile creators and performers at SDCC highlights the immense global impact of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The panel is expected to be a major draw for anime enthusiasts and offers a rare opportunity to gain direct insights into the creation of one of the most successful entertainment franchises of the decade. The enthusiasm surrounding this event is further evidenced by the vibrant Demon Slayer-themed trolleys already spotted in San Diego, preparing for the influx of Comic-Con attendees.
