The latest key visual and promotional video for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Mugen Castle Arc Part 1: The Return of Akaza have been officially released.

The newly unveiled fourth key visual features Shinobu Kocho clashing with the Upper Rank demon Doma, bringing the tagline “ALL IN FOR THIS ONE STRIKE (JP: この一突きに全てをのせてーー!!」)” vividly to life.

Based on Koyoharu Gotouge’s hit manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from February 2016 to May 2020, Demon Slayer is set in Japan’s Taisho era, where demons prey on humans. The story follows Tanjiro Kamado, a boy whose family is slaughtered by demons, and his journey to join the Demon Slayer Corps in order to turn his demonized sister Nezuko back into a human and avenge his family. The manga has surpassed 220 million copies in circulation worldwide.

The anime adaptation began in April 2019 with the Unwavering Resolve Arc, followed by the record-shattering Mugen Train movie in October 2020, which grossed approximately ¥51.7 billion ($351.7 million) worldwide. Subsequent arcs include Entertainment District Arc (2021), Swordsmith Village Arc (2023), and Hashira Training Arc (2024). The ongoing Infinity Castle Arc is being produced as a trilogy, with Akaza Returns depicting the Demon Slayer Corps’ final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji and the Upper Rank Demons within the Infinity Castle.
