Film Synopsis: Tanjiro Kamado – a boy who joined an organisation dedicated to hunting down demons called the Demon Slayer Corps, after his younger sister, Nezuko, was turned into a demon. While growing stronger and deepening his friendships and bonds with fellow corps members, Tanjiro has battled many demons with his comrades, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. Along the way, his journey has led him to fight alongside the Demon Slayer Corps' highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira, including Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku aboard the Mugen Train, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui within the Entertainment District, as well as Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village. As the Demon Slayer Corps members and Hashira engaged in a group strength training program, the Hashira Training, in preparation for the forthcoming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appeared at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. With the head of the Demon Corps in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters but are plunged into a deep descent to a mysterious space by the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji.

By Rollo Ross and Danielle Broadway Fans dive into San Diego Comic-Con despite drop in celebrity panels SAN DIEGO, - This year's Comic-Con may not be featuring as much star power as usual, but attendees dressed up for opening day on Thursday were just as pumped as ever to be there. Richard Cao, 38, from San Diego, said he has been preparing for a long time, getting into shape so he can go as bare-chested Inosuke Hashibira, a character from the anime series 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba'. "I lost about 30 pounds over six months, that's just the physical, I guess, investment I made," Cao said. This year's festivities at the San Diego Convention Center will not have the usual Hall H major A-list celebrity panels, which typically discuss popular movie franchises from the likes of Marvel and DC Studios. But highlights will include "Star Wars" creator George Lucas making his San Diego Comic-Con debut and Disney's "Tron: Ares" and "Predator: Badlands" panels. There will also be a panel for the upcoming film "Project Hail Mary" starring Ryan Gosling, and the world premiere of the 'King of the Hill' revival and a panel with show co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels. It is also the first year to include a two-day music festival called Crunchyroll Anime FanFest, hosted by Crunchyroll, an American subscription-based anime streaming service owned by Sony Group Corporation. The festival will feature anime music from popular titles like "Jujutsu Kaisen." Crunchyroll has over 17 million subscribers globally. Although hotel and overall travel prices continue to rise for those out of town, fans say they weren't deterred. "It's totally worth it," said Sophia Blanco, 39, from New York City who paid "a couple of thousands" for her entire trip. "You go on vacation, you do anything, you're spending money. So, just spend money on what you enjoy, no matter what you do," she added. Sony Group Corp Walt Disney Co This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
