Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train (Japanese: 劇場版「鬼滅の刃」無限列車編, Hepburn: Gekijō-ban Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen), is a 2020 Japanese animated dark fantasy action film based on the "Mugen Train" arc of the 2016–20 manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge. It is a direct sequel to the first season of the anime television series as well as its first film adaptation. The film was directed by Haruo Sotozaki and produced by Ufotable, and written by the studio's staff members. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train was released during the COVID-19 pandemic, premiering in Japan on October 16, 2020, by Aniplex and Toho, and late 2020 to mid-2021 outside Japan by Crunchyroll through Sony Pictures Releasing. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $512.7 million worldwide and making it the highest-grossing film of 2020. It marked the first time ever that a non-American production topped the annual global box office, and it set a number of other box office records, including the highest-grossing Japanese film both in Japan and worldwide, two titles previously held by Spirited Away (2001) and Your Name (2016), respectively, until it was surpassed in 2025 by the later installment, Infinity Castle – Part 1: Akaza Returns, as the highest grossing Japanese film worldwide. It was also being the first Japanese film to gross over the half-billion dollar mark. It also has received numerous awards, including Animation of the Year at the 44th Japan Academy Film Prize, Best Film at the 6th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, and Best Animation Film at the 45th Hochi Film Award. A sequel set after the events of the second season, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Swordsmith Village, was released on February 3, 2023, with a third film set after the events of the third season, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training, released on February 2, 2024. A film trilogy titled Infinity Castle, set after the events of the fourth season has been confirmed, with the first installment, Part 1: Akaza Returns, released on July 18, 2025.
