Demon Slayer: Mugen Train melanjutkan langsung dari akhir Musim 1, mengikuti Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, dan Inosuke saat mereka menaiki kereta misterius di bawah perlindungan Pilar Api, Rengoku Kyojuro. Iblis bernama Enmu, anggota Dua Belas Kizuki, telah menidurkan penumpang kereta dalam tidur sihir, menjebak setiap Pemburu Iblis dalam mimpi mereka sendiri.

Film ini menyampaikan tema mendalam tentang kewajiban, pengorbanan, dan apa artinya melindungi orang yang Anda cintai.
