The latest character promo featuring Doma from the highly anticipated Demon Slayer anime film Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 Akaza Returns Again has been unveiled using footage from the actual movie. Alongside the video, five new scene stills, including rare images from Doma’s childhood, were also released.

Following the earlier promos highlighting Tanjiro Kamado, Giyu Tomioka, Shinobu Kocho, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Akaza, this sixth installment centers on Doma. The footage showcases his chilling line “Young and delicious” during the battle against Shinobu Kocho, as well as glimpses of his younger self, offering a deeper look into the character ahead of the film’s premiere.

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.
