Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is 'jacking' everyone's seat at the movies in Japan
The new Demon Slayer movie isn't just taking over the box office, it's taking over seats too. If you and I were at a movie theater in my home state of California, and you were to tell me, 'Hey, dude, your seat got jacked,' I'd be kind of upset. I mean, it's pretty rude to steal someone else's seat, isn't it? However, here in Japan a whole lot of people's seats have been getting 'jacked' at the movies this summer…and they couldn't be happier about it. That's because in Japanese, the word 'jack' is used to describe an artistic takeover of a space, a sort of visual 'hijacking,' and moviegoers' seats are being jacked by the Demon Slayer Corps. 【シートジャック展開】全国33館で実施中のシートジャック展開『鬼滅シアター -鬼殺隊結集-』好評につき、一部劇場で8/14(木)までの延長が決定！実施スクリーンや上映時間は、 各劇場公式HPの上映スケジュールをご確認ください。 #無限城編 — 鬼滅の刃公式 (@kimetsu_off) August 5, 2025 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba–The Movie: Infinity Castle is dominating the box office in Japan right now, and in some theaters its dominion extends to the seats themselves. At select cineplexes, an entire screening room's seats are covered in character art of protagonist Tanjiro and 11 of his fellow Demon Slayers, a promotional event titled the Kimetsu no Yaiba Seat Jack. When buying movie tickets in Japan, your seat is always reserved, but the layout of the Seat Jack artwork is random, so it's a matter of luck as to whether or not you'll be seated on your favorite character as you watch the movie. Of course, with this being very much a for-fans affair, there's a lot of photo-snapping taking place before and after the movie, so a quick ' Shashin to totte mo ii desu ka ?' ('Is it OK if I take a picture?') will probably be enough to get your fellow anime enthusiast's blessing so you can take a quick shot of their seat's cover. ▼ With the power of teamwork and friendship being such a core theme of Demon Slayer , there's something especially inspiring about seeing so many of the heroes assembled in one place. 鬼滅の刃の観客マナーが悪いと聞いて周りと遮断されるプレミアムボックスシート&無駄に高いシートジャックで観覧。自分の席の足元が広いので通路に使われて前をチョロチョロされるし、LINEの着信は鳴るし、後席は近いので背後から貧乏揺すりされるしアホはどこでもブロック出来なかった。 — keroro (@dmkeroro) July 25, 2025 鬼滅の刃の感想は猗窩座愛してる。シートジャックにしてよかった 2枚目が私の席。ドキドキしました🫡一枚くれるのかと思ったw#鬼滅の刃#無限城編 — おみ (@Bucciaratibrun) August 4, 2025 鬼滅の刃シートジャック、ぎゆしの~❤(狙い通り✨) — 🕷️しのりん🦋 (@ootoriharuo) August 4, 2025 Since the Infinity Castle movie premiered on July 18, the Seat Jack (which is being held at the theaters listed on the official website here) was supposed to be winding down and coming to a close on August 7. Due to popular demand, though, it's being extended at some participating locations through August 14, ending one calendar day before the Demon Slayer baseball game at Dodger Stadium.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie trailer reveals the strongest demon yet in the franchise
The wait for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is almost over, and fans are already buzzing about the big battles coming up. The movie is set to release in Japan this July, with US and Canadian fans getting it in September. And thanks to the latest trailer, we finally know which demon will be the most dangerous this time. Doma, the Upper Rank Two demon, has been confirmed as the strongest villain in the first movie of the trilogy. While there are several major fights teased in the trailer, Doma's showdown against Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho is the one that truly stands out. The clip shows a glimpse of their deadly battle, and it's already got fans talking. Infinity Castle will feature multiple epic fights This part of the story focuses on the Demon Slayers entering the Infinity Castle, where they come face-to-face with some of Muzan's strongest demons. Going by the trailer, the movie will feature three huge battles: Shinobu vs Doma, Zenitsu vs Kaigaku, and Tanjiro vs Akaza. INFINITY CASTLE IS GONNA BE CRAZY While all three demons are powerful, Doma stands above the rest in this movie. He is only ranked below Kokushibo and Muzan in the demon hierarchy. Compared to Akaza, who is Upper Rank Three, Doma has greater strength, speed, and abilities. That is why his fight will likely be the toughest. Kaigaku, who battles Zenitsu, may not be as powerful as Doma or Akaza, but his fight still adds tension. However, it is the Doma vs Shinobu battle that promises emotional weight. Fans know what is at stake in this clash, and the trailer hints at its importance. For anime-only viewers, this arc will be a rollercoaster. The animation quality, combined with the high-stakes story, means the Infinity Castle movies could be the most intense part of the Demon Slayer series yet. Those who cannot wait can always read the full arc in the Demon Slayer manga, available on Manga Plus. Meanwhile, all the anime seasons can be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Demon Slayer demons who can regrow their heads explained
Read Ty's full post Demon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba has become one of the most popular anime series on the planet, featuring epic combat, tear-jerking narratives, and unforgettable adversaries. The one biggest menace ultimatum in the whole of humanity ? In fact, some demons are so strong that they can come back from being beheaded, a method that is meant to kill them immediately. In this article, we will be counting down the most fearsome monsters from Demon Slayer that had the ability to regrow their heads and continue battling as if nothing had happened. Even the most talented Demon Slayers fell before these beasts, and their seemingly-invulnerable powers render them some of the most terrifying antagonists in anime history. Muzan Kibutsuji: The ultimate unkillable demon king City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes Episode 8 Ch 13 Muzan Kibutsuji is the first demon that was ever created and the most dangerous. He's the big bad in Demon Slayer and the reason demons exist at all. Muzan's real scary gimmick isn't his power, but the fact that he can't die from a head cut-off. Even when the most powerful Hashira—Gyomei Himejima—does succeed in beheading him, Muzan absurdly regrows his head in an instant. He's lived through suicide bombings, toxic gas, and innumerable other murderous assaults. In the case of Muzan, he's so determined to become immortal that he believes he must conquer his greatest weakness, which is sunlight. His body is always growing and changing, and his regeneration makes him as hard to kill as any other demon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cost Of Amusement Park Equipment From Mexico Might Surprise You - See Tips Amusement Park Equipment | search ads Click Here Undo 'I've killed thousands... and yet, not once have I been punished. There is no divine wrist ready to write a line of fate across the sky. Kokushibo: The upper-rank one with monster regeneration Anime Debut & Episode 45 Ch. 99 Kokushibo, with his extreme power and skill, is the most badass demon in Muzan's army, Upper-Rank One. As it turns out, he was originally a human samurai, and though he's now endowed with six eyes and superhuman abilities, he continues to wield a sword. Kokushibo is able to continue fighting even after having his head cut off and becomes a terrifying monster after being decapitated. This eerie transformation additionally enables him to continue fighting, regenerate at a much quicker pace, and intimidate even the most fearless Hashira. He's over 400 years old and has honed his demonic powers to a nearly perfect form. Doma : The smiling killer who grows his head back Episode 45 Issue 98 Doma is engaging, funny, brilliant and pure evil. He's the head of a death cult and entraps unsuspecting humans into his temple—only to consume them. Ranked Upper-Rank Two, Doma conceals his viciousness with a facade of kindness. When provoked, he transforms into a relentless bloodthirsty monster. At one point in a council of the Upper-Rank demons, Akaza literally knocks Doma's head off. Doma nonchalantly regrows his head in a matter of seconds, laughing off the blow like a punchline. That moment highlights not only how difficult it will be to finally defeat him but also why even other demons are terrified of him. Akaza the warrior who fights with his head cut off Anime Debut Story Arc Episode 032 Chapter 63 Akaza is a martial arts master who – after being defeated by an even more powerful martial artist – chose to become a demon in order to gain strength. Corrupted Ranked Upper-Rank Three, he reveres only the strongest fighters. Yet, he holds a disdain for the weak. During his battle with Kyojuro Rengoku , Akaza demonstrates just how out-of-this-world his regenerative abilities truly are. Even after his own head is cut off, Akaza continues the fight, unleashing devastation with every strike while still being able to move with incredible speed and accuracy. He's able to regrow a new head through sheer force of will… and a burning desire to be the strongest fighter in the universe. Even sans cranium, he's pretty much a force of nature. He is one of the most powerful foes the Demon Slayers ever come up against and DEADLIEST. Here's why head regeneration is so terrifying in Demon Slayer On Demon Slayer, it turns out to kill an enemy demon is pretty straightforward – just cut off their head with your Nichirin sword of choice. If some of those demons can withstand Arkham, that completely flips the script on the fight. These harrowing beasts of the netherworld test the limits of the Demon Slayers and push them to discover novel methods and risk it all simply to stay alive. While fans are drawn to strength and explosive powers that the action brings to the show, it's villains like these that up the ante. While their near mortality means no fight is truly life or death, the threat of near-immortality makes every fight have that stakes. Demon Slayer has not only been captivating audiences in Japan, but viewers all over the world love the amazing animation, captivating storytelling and one of a kind villains. Not just head-chomping, fire-breathing monsters, the demons who are able to regrow their heads embody the final form of the trial our heroes must overcome. With the fearless originality and unprecedented imagination this series is now famous for, fans will be treated to even more heart-stopping, mind-blowing twists and bone-chilling twists as the epic battles continue. Stay tuned for more Demon Slayer news as the battle continues to intensify!

How Sabito and Makomo's spirits guided Tanjiro in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
(Credit- Youtube) In Demon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba , each character's story is marked by sacrifice, intense training, and deep emotional background. Of the dozens of significant spirits, the seiwan ('heavenly' or 'silent' spirits) of Sabito and Makomo have maybe the most troubling effect on Tanjiro Kamado 's path—young man shattered by the evil spirits that devoured his clan, and their wealth to 1 man—to turn into a capable slayer of the world's most dangerous beasts. Their absence strikes a severe blow both to the narrative and to viewers, forcing Tanjiro to endure one of his darkest, most defining arcs. 'He may lose or he may win. But one thing is for certain... the boulder that Tanjiro cut was bigger and harder than anyone had ever cut before!'- Sabito Sabito and Makomo—beyond former Tsushima students Sabito and Makomo were former students of Sakonji Urokodaki, the Water Hashira who trains the main character, Tanjiro. Tragically, both perished during the Final Selection , a deadly exam for fresh recruits to the Corps, called Demon Slayers. Their souls are now permanently tied to Mount Sagiri, forever guiding new students who are lost — most notably Tanjiro. Sabito, with his strict but truthful discipline and ever-changing swordsmanship, pushes Tanjiro beyond Tanjiro's own limitations. Makomo, as kind and soothing an instructor as you could hope for, walks you through the mechanics, techniques and philosophies behind each breathing style. Individually and collectively, they embody the duality of justice — power and mercy — and as spiritual guides, they show us more than how to wage war. (Credit- Crunchyroll) Their Role in Tanjiro's Demon Slayer Quest After characters like Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke have been introduced, Anime Gods & Demons helps deepen their characterization. The roles these characters take on — even outside of directly training Tanjiro — serves to emphasize the importance of emotional support systems in allowing any of us to overcome hardship. They represent the souls who could not move on because their dreams were not fulfilled — teaching Tanjiro becomes their redemption. Their shared wisdom allows Tanjiro to not only learn the ancient art of Total Concentration Breathing, increasing his swordsmanship but even more crucially developing the discipline of mind that his connected journey will demand from him. In short, they carry the wishes of the dead to the living — a key theme in Demon Slayer and a poignant reminder of the legacy through which we all live today. By defeating the hand demon—the same creature that had earlier killed Sabito and Makomo—Tanjiro not only passes the Final Selection, but frees their souls from purgatory, giving them peace at last. Unsung heroes of Demon Slayer While he & other characters like Makomo are often forgotten, the spirits of these two trainers are some of the unsung heroes of Demon Slayer. Their emotional depth, selfless guidance, and silent sacrifices glorify Tanjiro's victories and embody how even those lost to us can help illuminate our way forward. In a world where to kill is the motto and vengeance is frequently sugary, their sweet natures are abiding contribution of tenderness, instruction, and vitality unscripted — sealing them lastening as primordial, unchanging stones to the anime's heart-ethereal core.
