Where The Anime Leaves Off

Tanjiro And The Hashira Are About To Face Muzan And The Upper Moons

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Volume 16, Chapter 140 is the next chapter in Tanjiro and the Demon Slayers story after The Hashira Training Arc season. While the anime had added many interesting original scenes, the majority of the story remains the same, so fans can transition seamlessly into the manga, if they so wish.

The latest season of Demon Slayer brought viewers through the thrilling events of the Hashira Training Arc, where Tanjiro and his fellow Demon Slayers receive training from the Hashira to prepare for the final battle against Muzan and the Upper Moons. This season showed that Tanjiro is one of the most powerful Demon Slayers, even being able to rival some of the Hashira during training. The season ended on a suspenseful note, with the Demon Slayer Corps finally facing off against Muzan.

The Hashira Training Arc finale, however, leaves off just before one of the most intense battles and important arcs within the entire series: the Infinity Castle Arc. The manga continues the storyline of the Infinity Castle Arc starting at Volume 16, Chapter 140. This is where the anime adaptation currently ended, and the manga continues to dive deeper into the final battle of the series.

The Manga Has A Unique And Deep Charm That Fans Are Missing Out On

By picking up the manga where the anime leaves off, fans will be able to experience the full depth of the story, including character backstories, new plots, and the final fate of Muzan and of the Demon Slayer Corps. The Infinity Castle Arc and the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji are full of heart-pounding suspense and emotional moments that will satisfy any fans craving more Demon Slayer content.

The Demon Slayer manga is also available digitally on VIZ Media's Shonen Jump app and on MANGA Plus.
