Kimetsu no Yaiba
has exploded in popularity worldwide, drawing millions of fans with its emotional story and stunning animation. Set in Japan's Taisho era, it follows young Tanjiro Kamado, who joins the Demon Slayer Corps after his family is killed by demons and his sister Nezuko is turned into one. Together with allies like Zenitsu and Inosuke, Tanjiro fights fearsome demons led by the immortal Muzan. The series' latest chapters – known as the Infinity Castle arc – depict a climactic final battle as Tanjiro and the elite Hashira warriors storm the demons' fortress to confront Muzan. In India and other countries, Demon Slayer films have been box-office successes; for example, the 'Hashira Training' movie became the highest-grossing foreign film in India in 2024. Fans around the globe eagerly await the first Infinity Castle movie, slated to open in Japan on July 18, 2025.

Trailer leak sparks stir
When Japanese theaters began re-running
Mugen Train
in 4K on May 9, 2025, they secretly screened an exclusive sneak-peek of
Infinity Castle
. The new trailer (just 60 seconds long) was meant only for cinema audiences. However, some viewers covertly filmed the preview and posted the low-quality clip online. The leaked footage quickly spread through fan sites and social media. It showed quick flashes of Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and other heroes preparing for battle inside the ominous Infinity Castle. By May 11, news of the leak was everywhere – enough that the official Demon Slayer team felt compelled to address it.
Official studio response
Within days the Demon Slayer production team issued stern warnings. The official Demon Slayer X (formerly Twitter) account announced that a 'secretly recorded video of the theater-exclusive trailer' had appeared on the internet. The post reminded fans that filming movies in a theater is illegal under Japanese law. It quoted the penalties for piracy – fines up to 10 million yen and up to 10 years in prison for unauthorized recording or uploading. Aniplex, the series' producer, also took to social media to echo the warning, stressing that copyright infringement 'could result in a hefty fine or even prison time'.

At the same time,
Crunchyroll
(the overseas distributor) clarified that the official trailer will be shown properly. North American cinemas will legally show the same Infinity Castle trailer starting May 14, 2025 with
Mugen Train
revival screenings. In other words, there will soon be a high-quality official version for fans. Studio staff urged patience, reminding viewers that the full
Infinity Castle
film opens in Japan on July 18, 2025 and rolls out worldwide later in August and September.
Fan reactions from social media
Reactions on Twitter (X) and fan forums have been mixed but mostly excited. Many fans expressed frustration at the marketing strategy of hiding the trailer in theaters only – they felt the leak was 'inevitable' under the circumstances. Some joked at the warning message. One fan quipped, 'First try catching the guy who recorded it… keep up the drama!'. Another joked that 'tomorrow there will be about 5 leaks at once,' teasing that international fans would film their own clips.
On the other hand, some fans were actually relieved to see any glimpse of new content. A number of viewers said the studio had made them wait too long, and they were glad someone finally shared footage of the movie. Fan blogs noted that the community is 'upset about the overall marketing strategy' but still overwhelmingly excited for
Infinity Castle
. At the same time, many fans warned each other not to watch the shaky leaked video – preferring to experience the trailer in better quality. In general, the sentiment remains optimistic: followers of Demon Slayer are buzzing with excitement and hope that the official trailer and film will soon give them the full blockbuster experience.

Video: Zohran Mamdani Gets Awkward As Host Plays His Old Clip In Apron During Live Show
Last Updated: In one of the visuals, Mamdani was seen rapping while wearing a only black apron. New York Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was taken aback when his 2019 old rap video that showed him wearing an apron without anything underneath, was played during a live interview on global media outlet CNN. This happened when the 33-year-old politician appeared for Erin Burnett OutFront talk show. Show host Erin Burnett played the assemblyman's rap video suddenly. In the video, Zohran Mamdani, along with several others, was seen dancing at various locations, including inside a food truck. The video was posted on YouTube under the name of Mr. Cardamom. In the throwback video, the state assemblyman was joined by his friends and Indian-born British-American actress Madhur Jaffrey. In one of the visuals, Mamdani was seen rapping while wearing a only black apron. During the conversation, the anchor started playing videos from Mamdani's recent campaigns, including one in which he talked about his birth place and the story about how he got his middle name. As the interview progressed, a snippet from his appearance on The Breakfast Club podcast appeared on the screen. It was followed by Burnett introducing the politician's artistic side and playing the rap clip. As the rap continued, Mamdani, apparently shocked, tried to maintain his composure by smiling. However, eventually, he gave in, saying, 'I didn't think it was going to be on CNN." To which, the host replied, 'It's there and there it is." Later, the video was posted on the official X profile of the Erin Burnett OutFront show with a caption that read, Watch as #NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani watches his past performance as a rapper and responds to critics who say he's not ready to run New York. He speaks one-on-one with @ErinBurnett. Recently, Mamdani faced intense scrutiny from Tennessee Republican Congressman Andy Ogles who publicly questioned the legitimacy of his US citizenship, calling for his deportation if it was fraudulently obtained. Mamdani was born in Uganda to Indian parents and immigrated to the United States two decades ago and became a naturalized US citizen in 2018. Since 2020, he has served in the New York State Assembly and recently clinched the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City.
