Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train is back on the big screen in Japan, and it’s hyping the fact you can see an exclusive Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle trailer in theaters with it. But it just got a little less exclusive, as someone filmed it and leaked it. And the Demon Slayer series licensors are not happy.
The folks behind the series put out statements first in Japanese, and then later in English. It reminded the leaker that in Japan “filming a movie inside a theater is a crime under the Law for Prevention of Unauthorized Recording of Films (Film Piracy Prevention Law).”
And it let the leaker know there can be serious consequences for leaking: “If copyright infringement occurs in violation of the Film Piracy Prevention Law or the Copyright Act, penalties may include up to 10 years imprisonment, or a fine of up to 10 million yen, or both.” 10 million yen is approximately $70,000.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is scheduled to hit American theaters on September 12. Crunchyroll gave this description for the movie:
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Plot
Tanjiro Kamado – a boy who joined an organization dedicated to hunting down demons called the Demon Slayer Corps after his younger sister Nezuko was turned into a demon.
While growing stronger and deepening his friendships and bonds with fellow corps members, Tanjiro has battled many demons with his comrades – Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira. Along the way, his journey has led him to fight alongside the Demon Slayer Corps’ highest-ranking swordsmen, the Hashira, including Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku aboard the Mugen Train, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui within the Entertainment District, as well as Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji at the Swordsmith Village.
As the Demon Slayer Corps members and Hashira engaged in a group strength training program, the Hashira Training, in preparation for the forthcoming battle against the demons, Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki Mansion. With the head of the Demon Corps in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters but are plunged into a deep descent to a mysterious space by the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji.
The destination of where Tanjiro and Demon Slayer Corps have fallen is the demons’ stronghold – the Infinity Castle. And so, the battleground is set as the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons ignites.
