The highly anticipated Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Arc has unveiled a brand new trailer, and fans are buzzing with excitement. The spotlight this time shines on the fierce showdown between the Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho and the terrifying Upper Rank Two demon Doma. The film premiered in Japan on July 18 and has been shattering box office records ever since. Within just thirty one days of release, the film earned more than twenty five billion yen, which is roughly one hundred and seventy four million US dollars, placing it among the highest earning Japanese films ever made.
Following its extraordinary success in Japan, the Infinity Castle Arc is making its way across the globe. The international rollout began on August 14 and will continue throughout September. Fans in North America can mark September 12 on their calendars for the official premiere, although Crunchyroll Mega and Ultimate Fan subscribers will get exclusive early access on September 9. Excitement for the release is so high that Fandango confirmed the movie as its most successful first day anime pre-seller in history.
The newly released trailer highlights Saori Hayami returning as the voice of Shinobu, bringing a delicate yet powerful presence to the Insect Hashira, while Mamoru Miyano delivers a chilling performance as the menacing Doma.
