The newly revealed illustration was shared as part of the “97 Days Until Release” countdown. This striking key visual features Tanjiro alone, highlighting his resolve and emotional growth. It instantly captured fans’ attention and admiration, generating thousands of likes and shares.

Fans enthusiastically responded with comments like:

“So this is the new key visual! Thank you so much!”

“Every day is a countdown with the Breath of anticipation.”
“Tanjiro looks amazing—97 days left! Can’t wait!”
“My heart is full. That’s Rengoku’s tsuba (sword guard) on Tanjiro’s blade, right?”
“These daily visuals bring back memories. They’re deepening my anticipation for the movie.”

Particularly moving to fans was the detail of Tanjiro’s nichirin blade featuring the tsuba once used by Kyojuro Rengoku. This subtle design element stirred strong emotions, reminding viewers of Rengoku’s legacy and his influence on Tanjiro’s journey.

As excitement builds toward the film’s July release, fans are closely following each day of the countdown campaign, with hopes for more stunning artwork and nostalgic surprises to come.
