Sound Hashira Returns To Cinemas Ahead Of Demon Slayer's Grand Finale
Last Updated:
Toho Cinemas will launch a special 'movie etiquette' video in collaboration with anime studio Ufotable.
Demon Slayer- Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Infinity Castle is one of the most anticipated Japanese anime films this year. The movie, directed by Haruo Sotozaki, is based on the Infinity Castle arc of Koyoharu Gotouge's Demon Slayer manga. It features the popular hero of the Demon Slayer franchise — Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui. Ahead of Demon Slayer- Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle's theatrical premiere in Japan on July 18, fans are in for a special treat. Tengen Uzui and his three wives-cum-kunoichi (female ninjas) — Makio, Suma and Hinatsuru are set to arrive on the big screens for a special pre-screening short film.
According to Crunchyroll, Toho Cinemas will launch a special 'movie etiquette" video in collaboration with anime studio Ufotable. These short animated segments, featuring Sound Hashira and his trio of kunoichi wives, will run in select Japanese theatres from June 20 to July 17. It will wrap up just a day before Demon Slayer- Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle's silver screen release.
The concept of 'movie etiquette" is specially curated for the audience looking forward to the film. It will enlighten them on how to maintain proper decorum and etiquette at theatres. Additionally, the short film will also delight fans with fresh content from the Demon Slayer universe, which kicked off in 2019 and has since grown into a global anime phenomenon. At present, only the teaser is available. The full video will only be viewed by movie-goers as a limited-time treat.
Back in March, the makers of the Demon Slayer universe attended a meeting in Japan where it was decided that Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle would premiere on July 18. The film is the first part of the trilogy. The release dates of the other two movies are yet to be announced.
Sharing the announcement on X, the makers wrote, 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Castle Chapter 1 to be released on Friday, July 18th. The decisive battle begins. The key visual has been released."

Dandyism, decadence and a taste of rebellion at Junya Watanabes vision of Paris
PARIS (AP) — A new kind of dandy took over Junya Watanabe's runway on Friday — not the traditional gentleman, but a sharp-dressed rebel with a streak of punk at Paris Fashion Week. Watanabe, the pioneering Japanese designer known for mixing classic tailoring with a wild, creative edge, unveiled a lineup of bold, offbeat looks at the Lycée Carnot. The show was sharp but rebellious, rich in history but full of energy. It wasn't about looking back. It was an explosion of new ideas. Watanabe has built his reputation by smashing the line between elegance and rebellion. This season, he didn't just mix old and new, he turned history into a weapon. His spring men's collection borrowed from the past — rich brocades, jacquards and a hint of Rococo flair — but reimagined them with a bold, punk attitude. Jackets worthy of Venetian nobility were paired with rugged workwear and raw denim, creating looks that felt both grand and streetwise. The music followed the same energy, starting with a traditional piano piece breaking down into a thumping city beat. Classic style was pulled apart and rebuilt right on the runway. Some outfits showed off sharp, careful tailoring, but the order quickly fell away — seams went crooked, sashes trailed loose, wild patterns took over. Even the ties broke free, knotted multiple times in ways that broke from tradition. Despite the wild mix of styles, the show was more than just patchwork. Watanabe was making a statement about taste itself — a constant tug-of-war between old ideas and breaking the rules. Familiar touches — a monk's robe, the rooftops of Florence — were turned into clever fashion puzzles. Throughout the collection, Watanabe's eye for detail and contradiction remained. He's known for boldly mixing sharp tailoring with street style, blending Japanese tradition with punk energy. This season, he sharpened that approach into clothes that were both smart and full of electricity, pieces that challenged the idea of what it means to dress well. By the end, the dandy wasn't just a gentleman —he was sharper, braver, both thinker and rebel.
