Movie and TV arc are different releases
A theatrical release and a TV episode arc should be connected when relevant, but not merged into one fake row.
Viewer path
Use the Demon Slayer watch-order page for the recommendation. It keeps the release choices visible without forcing you to decode the catalog yourself.
Avoid spoiler-heavy summaries
Mugen Train has emotional turning points. Use spoiler-safe text before opening full plot versions.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie releases
Movies stay outside the TV episode count. That preserves official numbering and makes watch orders easier to trust when a franchise has theatrical stories, recuts, or side releases.
