Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 Releases Shinobu Kocho vs. Doma Battle Footage Alongside New Scene Cuts “Do You Not Recognize This Haori?”

With the North American release of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Infinity Castle Part 1 approaching on September 12, a new promotional video featuring main story footage has been unveiled. The second “Decisive Battle” commercial highlights Shinobu Kocho vs. Doma and has been made available on the official YouTube channel, alongside newly released scene cuts.

The footage shows a furious Shinobu exclaiming, “Do you not recognize this haori? (JP: この羽織に見覚えはないか！)”, as the intense battle between Shinobu and Doma unfolds.

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.
