The new film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle Arc: Part 1 is set to premiere on July 18, and the official Demon Slayer X (formerly Twitter) account has launched a countdown campaign ahead of the release. As part of the campaign, a new visual featuring Muichiro Tokito in full battle mode has been unveiled.

The highly anticipated film marks the first installment of the Infinity Castle Arc, which continues the anime's powerful adaptation of Koyoharu Gotouge's original manga. The visual captures Tokito with a determined and intense expression as he prepares for the battles that await inside the Infinity Castle.

Fans reacted emotionally to the newly released image, leaving comments such as:

“So gallant. I’m really looking forward to his role in the Infinity Castle Arc!”
“His serious expression looks like he’s resolved himself—I’m almost in tears. I don’t want him to go, but I want him to fight through it.”
“This visual has such a dynamic feel—I love it.”
“His expression of resolve is making me cry.”

As the countdown continues, more character visuals and updates are expected in the lead-up to the film’s release.
