How Demon Slayer movie’s new popcorn bucket looks
Japanese theater chain T-Joy has partnered with Studio Ufotable to release a limited-edition popcorn bucket for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle.
The collectible is shaped like a film reel. It features a rotating inner layer that displays artwork and memorable scenes from the franchise. The bucket will be available at participating Japanese theaters starting July 18, 2025. This date also marks the domestic premiere of Infinity Castle Part 1. The listed price is ¥2,900 (approximately $20 USD).
While rare for anime films to offer collectible popcorn buckets, similar promotions have occurred. In 2022, One Piece Film: Red offered a Gum-Gum Fruit-shaped bucket in Japanese cinemas.
This trend follows the success of movie-themed buckets in the West, including those for Dune: Part II. Crunchyroll’s Chief Content Officer Asa Suehira said, “Infinity Castle will also be released on an unprecedented scale. I believe it will be a milestone in theatrical anime.”
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle adapts the “Infinity Castle” subarc of Koyoharu Gotouge’s manga, beginning the final arc titled “The Final Battle.” The film follows Tanjiro Kamado and the Demon Slayer Corps as they enter Muzan Kibutsuji’s fortress for the concluding showdown. Haruo Sotozaki is the director of the film, with animation and writing by Ufotable. Two theme songs accompany the film: “A World Where the Sun Never Rises” by Aimer and “Shine in the Cruel Night” by LiSA.
