This month, the long-awaited first installment of the final arc movie for “Demon Slayer” debuted in Japanese cinemas. In just under 10 days, it swiftly ruled the Japanese box office, breaking numerous records. It set the record for the highest grossing Japanese film on its opening day, for a single day, and over its opening weekend. Moreover, it also became the quickest movie in Japan’s box office history to earn an impressive ¥10 billion JPY (approximately $67.6 million USD), reflecting its immense popularity and critical acclaim.

The first worldwide showing of “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – Chapter 1: The Return of Akaza” is slated to start in August, spreading across multiple Asian nations. This gives overseas fans an opportunity to watch the movie not long after its successful Japanese debut. On the other hand, viewers in the U.S. and U.K. must exercise a bit more patience, as the film’s release in those regions is planned for September 12, 2025.

On the weekend, an exciting new key artwork for “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – Chapter 1: The Return of Akaza” was officially revealed. This captivating image hints at the first significant battle in Infinity Castle — the powerful Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, and Tanjiro are shown engaged in a tense standoff against the infamous Upper Rank Three demon, Akaza.
