The Demon Slayer theatrical film Demon Slayer Infinity Castle The Movie Part 1 Akaza Returns has released its third character-focused commercial featuring Shinobu Kocho, using footage from the upcoming movie. Alongside the CM, four new scene cuts have also been unveiled.

Following the first and second installments featuring Tanjiro Kamado and Giyu Tomioka, this newly released third CM centers on Shinobu. It offers a glimpse of her blood-soaked, hatred-filled expression as she confronts Doma, the Upper Rank demon who murdered her sister, as well as rare footage depicting her childhood.

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.
