The film is divided into two sections, with the first half recounting the end of the Entertainment District arc and the second half showcasing the first episode of the upcoming Swordsmith Village arc.

At the Anime Japan 2023 event, it was revealed that, for the broadcast of the first episode on TV, Ufotable has decided to add new visuals and even a new closing credit sequence, both of which were not in the movie.

It has also been announced that the special edition of Entertainment District Arc will be televised between April 1 and 8, and that additional visuals will be included. The production crew is also planning to release a documentary video on the Demon Slayer world tour organized by Ufotable.
