Demon Slayer: Tengen Uzui Makes A Surprising Appearance Ahead of the Infinity Castle Movie Premiere
A clever promotion and service for cinemas, Ufotable provides audiences with snippets of Demon Slayer joy with one of possibly many short previews.
On June 18, 2025, 30 days ahead of the release of the movie to Japanese theaters, ufotable released a 15 second clip showing a brief teaser of the former Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui with his three wives watching the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle movie, with Uzui exclaiming loudly with excitement over the film.
The full video will be shown exclusively to Japanese theaters as a preview short film before the movie’s run.
From June 20 to July 17, Toho Cinemas will feature an exclusive “movie etiquette” video created in collaboration with anime studio Ufotable to promote the coming release of the movie, with Uzui clearly being an example of what not to do.
What else will Demon Slayer show for their PSAs?
A main trailer is set for release on June 28, 2025.
About Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a manga written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge that was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from February 2016 to May 2020, with its chapters collected in 23 tankōbon volumes.
By February 2021, the manga had over 150 million copies in circulation, making it the 9th best-selling series of all time and one of the fastest-growing, initially having 3.5 million sales on February 2019, which was prior to the release of the Demon Slayer anime on April 2019.
However by September 2019 when Season 1 had neared its conclusion, the manga sold 10 million copies and the numbers would continue to balloon while cementing a strong cultural impact worldwide.
On April 6, 2019, the manga would be adapted into an anime by studio Ufotable, directed by Haruo Sotozaki and produced by Hikaru Kondo, starting off with Season 1 that ended its 26-episode run September 28, 2019.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train premiered in Japan on October 16, 2020 and would become the first movie of the franchise, having earned $507.1 million, making it the highest grossing anime film from Japan of all time.
Recap and compilation films would follow, also earning well in the box office.
Season 2 would adapt the Mugen Train movie for 7 episodes from October 10, 2021 to November 28, 2021 and the Entertainment District Arc from December 5, 2021 to February 13, 2022 for 11 episodes.
