The highly anticipated cinematic journey into the heart of the Demon Slayer universe began on July 18, 2025, as 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Infinity Castle Arc Chapter 1: Akaza Returns' made its grand debut in Japan. This premiere marks a monumental milestone for one of anime's most beloved sagas, immediately captivating audiences with its thrilling narrative and breathtaking animation. Complementing this momentous event, the film also unveiled a series of electrifying new commercials, each powerfully backed by the movie's evocative theme songs.
Fans can now fully immerse themselves in the auditory landscape of the Infinity Castle Arc, as both the opening theme, 'A World Where the Sun Never Rises' by the celebrated artist Aimer, and the equally compelling ending theme, 'Shine in the Cruel Night' by the iconic LiSA, have been simultaneously released across major global streaming platforms.

The film itself plunges viewers into the mysterious and dangerous depths of the Infinity Castle, where protagonist Tanjiro, alongside the formidable Giyu, faces off against the terrifying demon Akaza in what promises to be a series of heated, high-stakes battles. The newly released commercials amplify this excitement, showcasing dynamic, visually stunning sequences of the valiant Demon Slayers and powerful Hashira as they steel themselves to infiltrate the labyrinthine Infinity Castle. Their mission: to confront the ultimate evil, Muzan, and his sinister demon subordinates.

This strategic post-premiere release of compelling theme songs and captivating visual ads has significantly heightened global anticipation for the film's international rollout, officially slated for September 12, 2025.
