Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 was officially released on July 18, 2025 and it turned out to be a massive hit worldwide. With such a successful start to the final trilogy, we're already excited for what's to come with the next installment in the franchise. Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 2 is the next step, and as confirmed by Ufotable, it's already on the way, with bigger character battles and a stronger Hashira on the way.
Those of us who have read the manga know what happens next. The battle for Kokushibo will take a lot of attention in the second Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie, which is scheduled for summer 2027. This new release will also show once and for all who is the strongest Hashira. After Giyu's incredible show against Akaz in the first movie, it's now time for the new strongest, Gyomei Himejima, to take the stage as the franchise enters a new phase and the battle against Kokushibo finally begins.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 is teased for summer 2027 with Gyomei Himejima entering the scene as the strongest Hashira
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 was released in the summer of 2025 and proved to be a smash hit. In the first film, the likes of Shinobu and Giyu took center stage among the Hashiras, with former combatants Doma and Giyu proving to be crucial cogs in defeating Akaza. After the amazing performance of these two, we can't wait to see what the other Hashira can do, and Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 will bring us just that when it finally drops in 2027 – proving once and for all that Gyomei Himejima is the strongest of the Hashiras.
Gyomei is the most experienced Hashira and one of the few who have access to the demon slayer mark, the bright red Nichirin, and the transparent world. By starring in the upcoming Demon Slayer movie against Kokushibo, he will be officially recognized as the strongest Hashira. His exploits won't stop in the second film either, as he will be the main fighter against Muzan in the final film, Infinity Castle, which will finally bring down the curtain on the franchise.
Demon Slayer: 7 Things to Expect in Infinity Castle Part 2
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 was a hit, but now fans are looking forward to the next movie, Infinity Castle Part 2.
Gyomei Himejima's role in Infinity Castle part 2
IN Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2, the first ever major Gyomei battle in the entire series finally takes place, and it's something we've been waiting for ages. Gyomei is set to become one of the four demon slayers to take on Kokushibo, a higher-ranking demon who boasts immense strength. Among the Hashiras, his abilities definitely stand out. As the oldest of the lot, he is the most experienced and that will surely show in Infinity Castle Part 2.
We are proud to live and die as human beings. Don't act like your worthless ideas are supreme and impose them on others. — Gyomei to Kokushibo
He is bent on using his superior strength against Kokushibo, which is officially listed as the best among the Hashiras. Gyomei's Stone Breathing and physical prowess is such that even Kokushibo can't help but label him as the strongest warrior he has met in the past 300 years. This is further supported by Tanjiro and Inosuke, who previously referred to Gyomei as the strongest of the Demon Slayer Corps.

How Gyomei Himejima's Demon Slayer Mark Makes Him the Star of Infinity Castle Part 2
Gyomei is also one of the few Hashirs with the Demon Slayer, Bright Red Nichirin, and Transparent World marks. In Demon Slayer, Gyomei is one of the few characters who has all three of these abilities: Demon Slayer Mark, Bright Red Nichirin, and Transparent World. Among the Hashiras, only Muichiro and Obanai are capable of using these three powers. Although Muichiro can use them, he is much less experienced than Gyomei. Obanai also has less experience and was only able to use Transparent World for a very brief moment in the final arc.
We demon hunters have eternal permanence until every last demon is exterminated from this world. — Gyomei
On the other hand, Gyomei is skilled with all three, proving again why he is the strongest of the group. Plus, if he wasn't over 25 when his Slayer Mark activated, he might even be one of Hashiru's survivors after the Battle of Muzan.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 is officially on its way and in production
We can't wait for the Gyomei event to come to life Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2. With the film officially on the way and confirmed to be in the works, fans may be wondering when it will finally hit theaters. Ufotable has yet to provide an official release date for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2. However, reputable sources have already confirmed that the film is set to release in 2027, potentially around summer.
With Jump Festa coming up in December and Demon Slayer getting its own stage, Infinity Castle Part 2 is bound to get a new trailer to showcase Gyomei's power, as well as a confirmed release date later this year.
