The Infinity Castle Arc is followed up by the story’s finale, the Sunrise Countdown Arc, which takes up the manga’s final and remaining 22 chapters.

As shown in the final episode of the Hashira Training arc, Tanjiro and the seven Hashira along with all of the Demon Slayer Corps are drawn into the eerie personal lair of Muzan. The storyline will feature intense battles against the Upper-Rank demons.

The endless fortress is actually created by the Blood Demon Art of Nakime, and she has full control over it through her Biwa, a guitar like instrument. For Muzan, the Infinity Castle is the sole place of refuge that no member of the Demon Slayer Corps has access to. He is often seen conducting meetings with upper-rank moons however, according to the previous season the lower-rank moons do not know of its existence.

One of the most prominent features of the castle is the absence of any singular source of gravity. Habitants can be seen walking on any surface without singular orientation. Even the rooms and staircases have their own orientation, with some having inverted floors.

It would be interesting to watch all characters being scattered across the infinity castle fighting different upper-rank moons. However, it may be possible that other demons have been brought into the castle as a precaution even though Muzan doesn’t care for their existence. It may have been on the advice of one of the upper moons. This means there will me more demons than the slayers making it difficult for the Hashira to safeguard the weaker members of the Demon Corps.
