Because of the jaw-dropping animation by Ufotable, fans got their best look at the Infinity Castle a while ago. The Infinity Caste in Demon Slayer is one of the locations visited frequently in the series, but it is set to become the next big battlefield after Season 4.
Even if you haven’t read the manga, you probably know that the next arc, titled The Infinity Castle Arc, will see the Hashira take on Demon King Muzan and the Upper Moons inside this domain. So, if you are wondering — what is the Infinity Castle and how does it work? We have explained all this and more about this mind-bending castle below.
Demon Slayer Infinity Caste: Nakime’s Domain
The Infinity Castle is a limitless and complex alternate dimensional area created by Nakime aka the Biwa Oni’s Blood Demon Art. Nakime, for those unaware, will appear as the new “Upper Moon Four” demon in Season 5 after Hantengu’s death in the Swordsmith Village arc.
She was originally a demon Muzan inducted to call upon other demons into the Infinity Castle. At the beginning of the series, this space acted as Muzan’s operating den. This is because the demons were completely safe here from sunlight. However, she becomes an even more important character in the Infinity Castle arc, controlling how demons and the Hashira in Demon Slayer move about in her domain.
As the Infinity castle is Nakime’s domain, she has complete control over this abstruse space. The castle features countless Japanese wooden hallways, staircases, chambers, and more, and this area completely defies the laws of physics. The gravity here works in a distorted manner, resulting in a mind-bending sense of direction inside the space.

Since it is an extra-dimensional space, the location of the castle can be moved around at Nakime’s will. In the upcoming arc of Demon Slayer, we will witness the entirety of this perplexing space.
How Does the Infinity Caste Work in Demon Slayer?
Now that you know what this space is, it is time to learn about how the Infinity Castle works in detail. The entire structural design and arrangements inside this space can be moved around as Nakime wishes.
Furthermore, you must have noticed that Nakime always has a Biwa, a Japanese short-necked wooden instrument, in her hands. Using the Biwa, she can freely move the position of any being within her domain’s range and even change the structure of the castle.
As mentioned earlier, the Infinity Castle also works as a safe house for all demons. There is no way any sunlight can penetrate the castle. Additionally, the Upper Moons are well aware of how things work inside the Infinity Castle as we have seen certain regions being exclusive to them.
We hope this guide helped you understand the concept of the Infinity Castle clearly. I can’t wait to see the Demon Slayers taking on the Upper Moon inside the castle very soon.
