Demon Slayer: Mugen Train New Key Visual and Promotional Video Released
26.October.2020 | ANIME&GAME / MOVIE
The hotly-anticipated anime film Demon Slayer: Mugen Train was finally released in Japan on October 16, 2020. To promote the film, a fiery new key visual and promotional video featuring Rengoku and Akaza fighting has been released along with a comment from Satoshi Hino who voices Rengoku.
3rd Key Visual & New Promotional Video
3rd official key visual for Demon Slayer: Mugen Train
The key visual features Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, fighting against Akaza, one of the Twelve Kizuki who holds the position of Upper Rank 3. It will be displayed as theatres in Japan from October 31. You can see both of them battling to the death in the new promotional video below with gorgeous animation from the studio working on the series and film Ufotable.
Akaza is a new face in the anime adaptation
Akaza is a powerful Demon who surpasses even Rui who we see in the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime series, as well as Enmu who appears in the film. He is voiced by Akira Ishida (Kaworu Nagisa in Neon Genesis Evangelion and Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance).
Kyojuro Rengoku’s father, Shinjuro Rengoku, is voiced by Rikiya Koyama (Yamato in Naruto Shippuden and Kogoro Mouri in Case Closed), while his younger brother, Senjuro Rengoku, is voiced by Junya Enoki who voiced Peter Parker and Spiderman in the Japanese dub of Marvel’s Avengers film series as well as the Spider-Man films.
Akira Ishida (Voices: Akaza) | Comment
“When I read the script, I saw how it certainly isn’t wrong that Akaza is a character who makes sense when it comes to good and evil. And not just him either. Kyojuro is like that too. And they both clash when it comes to these two things, and I found that dynamic to be really interesting. I hope people get to enjoy it at the cinema.”
Meet the voice cast in Japan
Natsuki Hanae, Satoshi Hino, and Akira Ishida who voice Tanjiro Kamado, Kyojuro Rengoku, and Akaza respectively, will hold a talk session at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya on October 31st after the 16:40 (JST) film screening. It will also be streamed live at theatres across Japan.
