The “Demon Slayer watch order” is a topic that commonly comes up among new anime and manga fans. This is a shonen title that has managed to capture the attention of millions of viewers all over the world. For some, this also serves as a gateway to exploring the wonderful medium of anime.
When one comes in contact with the series, the Demon Slayer watch order becomes important since there are numerous installations, all of which are a part of an overarching story. With that said, here’s the Demon Slayer watch order for those who are looking to explore this series.

- Demon Slayer To the Hashira Training (Movie – recap of Season 3 + Season 4 episode 1)
- Demon Slayer Hashira Training arc (Season 4)
- Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie trilogy [to be released]
This is the Demon Slayer watch order that interested viewers can follow should they be interested in watching the series. It’s quite common for movies to exist in the medium of anime, more specifically, in Shonen titles. This particular series is no different, and this leads to the question – does one need to watch the movies?
Do We Need To Watch the Demon Slayer Films?
This is an interesting question since the Demon Slayer watch order will be affected based on the answer. There are a total of three films and among these three, fans can choose not to watch all of them. The Mugen Train arc was first released as a movie, which was later broken up into 7 episodes, making up the first half of Season 2. The second half of Season 2 covers the Entertainment District arc. Therefore, fans have the option of consuming Mugen Train arc either in an episodic or movie format.
The other two films essentially cover the concluding episode of one season, and the first one-hour special episode of the subsequent season. Therefore, interested viewers can alter their Demon Slayer watch order by choosing not to watch any of the movies. It is also noteworthy to mention that the upcoming story arc (Infinity Castle) will be adapted in the form of a movie trilogy. The movies are currently in the production stage. The next question that fans have in mind is this – what chapter in the manga do we read after completing the Hashira Training arc?
Which Chapter of the Manga Do We Read Following the Hashira Training Arc?
The chapter that concludes the Hashira Training arc is Chapter 139. Up until this point in the story, Ufotable has adapted all of the manga content and also provided fans with some anime-original scenes as well. Therefore, readers can pick up chapter 140 which marks the beginning of the Infinity Castle arc. Not only is this the biggest story arc in the entire series, but it also is one of the most exciting parts of the overall story.
Chapters 140-205 will cover the remaining parts of the story. There are only two arcs remaining for the animation studio to adapt – the Infinity Castle arc and the Sunrise Countdown arc. These two story arcs mark an all-out war between the Corps and Kibutsuji Muzan. Naturally, the release of the Infinity Castle arc will change the Demon Slayer watch order.
Will There Be a Demon Slayer Season 5?
It is difficult to say whether or not there will be a season 5 based on how the animation studio is progressing at this point. So far, the animation studio has adapted contents in an episode-by-episode format, with films that serve as a recap of the previous season and give fans a glimpse of the first episode of the subsequent season. The upcoming story arc will be a trilogy of films. However, there is one story arc that needs to be covered, and that is the Sunrise Countdown arc.
This story arc is much shorter in comparison to Infinity Castle arc. Therefore, there is a possibility that fans could get a season 5 down the road, when we reach the concluding section of the story. Until then, we urge the fanbase to patiently wait to get clarity on the same.
