A special video for the anime "Demon Slayer" has been released. This video condenses the feats of the 'Pillars' from the "Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc" to the "Swordsmith Village Arc," in anticipation of the new series "Hashira Training Arc."

"Demon Slayer," based on the manga of the same name serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from February 2016 to May 2020, is a hugely popular series that has exceeded 150 million copies in circulation. Set in the Taisho era, it follows the story of Tanjiro Kamado, a boy whose family was killed by demons. To turn his demon-turned sister Nezuko back into a human and to avenge his family, Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps and sets out on a journey. The first season of the TV anime aired from April to September 2019, igniting its popularity and becoming a cultural phenomenon. The film "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train," which continues from the final episode of the anime, was released in October 2020, becoming a blockbuster with over 40 billion yen in box office revenue in Japan alone. The TV anime's second season "Entertainment District Arc" aired from December 2021, following the movie. The third season "Swordsmith Village Arc" was broadcast from April to June 2023. The upcoming new TV anime series "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Hashira Training Arc" covers the episodes from Volumes 15 to 16 of the original manga, where Tanjiro and his companions receive training from the highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira, to become stronger.
