The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba franchise remains a dominant force in anime, with its latest theatrical release, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, earning the Anime Movie of the Year award at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2026. This latest accolade adds to the series’ impressive list of achievements and underscores the continued global enthusiasm for ufotable’s visually stunning adaptation. Now, the franchise is set to bring its complete television run back to Japanese screens, as the official Demon Slayer account has announced a full rebroadcast of the anime series beginning in April 2026.
The rebroadcast will commence on April 5, 2026, airing weekly on Sundays from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM JST on Fuji TV and its network affiliates throughout Japan. The schedule will start with the Unwavering Resolve Arc, the introductory storyline that first brought Tanjiro Kamado and his demon sister Nezuko to audiences worldwide. From there, the rebroadcast will continue sequentially through the Mugen Train Arc, Entertainment District Arc, Swordsmith Village Arc, and Hashira Training Arc. Spanning more than 60 episodes across multiple seasons, the rerun will provide viewers with a comprehensive journey through the entire television portion of the series up to the point where the story transitions into its final film trilogy.
A brand-new key visual has been unveiled to promote the rebroadcast, featuring dynamic artwork that highlights the series’ signature blend of intense action, emotional character moments, and breathtaking Ufotable animation.
The accompanying announcement video offers a high-energy montage that recaps key battles, character growth, and the overarching narrative drive of Tanjiro’s quest. These promotional materials serve as both a celebration of the anime’s legacy and a powerful reminder of why Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has resonated so deeply with viewers since its 2019 premiere.
Under the direction of Haruo Sotozaki, with character designs and chief animation direction by Akira Matsushima, and an evocative score by Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina, the series has consistently delivered some of the most technically impressive and emotionally gripping episodes in modern anime. The television adaptation has expanded upon Koyoharu Gotouge’s original manga with exceptional fidelity while elevating its fight choreography and visual storytelling to new heights. This rebroadcast arrives at an ideal moment, allowing audiences to revisit or discover the foundational arcs in preparation for the climactic events depicted in the ongoing Infinity Castle films.
By airing the full series in chronological order on a weekly basis, the rebroadcast offers a structured way for fans to experience the complete television narrative once again. It also provides an accessible re-entry point for newer viewers who may have joined the franchise through the movies or recent seasons. With the anime’s story now moving toward its conclusion in theaters, this rerun ensures that the earlier chapters remain fresh in the public consciousness and accessible to a broad audience.
It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself. Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.
For international audiences, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba remains widely available for streaming on platforms such as Crunchyroll, which offers both subtitled and dubbed versions of all seasons. Viewers outside Japan can dive into the series at any time, enjoying the same high-quality animation and storytelling that has captivated millions worldwide. This rebroadcast in Japan is set to run for an extended period given the episode count, potentially continuing well into 2027 and keeping the Demon Slayer flame burning brightly.
