The film was released theatrically in Japan on October 16, 2020. [11] Because other major releases had been delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of available screens was higher than usual. [12] The film opened in 403 cinemas total, including all 38 IMAX cinemas within the country. [13] The film had a very staggered international release, being released from as early as October 30, 2020, in Taiwan, [14] to as late as August 13, 2021, in India. [15] The theatrical release in China was delayed when a controversy surrounding the film Monster Hunter led the Chinese censors to review some foreign films a second time. [16] Home media [ edit ] Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ( 鬼滅の刃, Kimetsu no Yaiba, "Blade of Demon Destruction") [4] is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge. It was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from February 2016 to May 2020, with its chapters collected in 23 tankōbon volumes. It has been published in English by Viz Media and simultaneously published by Shueisha on their Manga Plus platform. It follows teenage Tanjiro Kamado, who strives to become a Demon Slayer after his family was slaughtered and his younger sister, Nezuko, is turned into a demon. Sadly we still can’t 100% confirm that Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is coming to Netflix. Fortunately, the first season of Demon Slayer is currently available to stream on Netflix, which greatly increases the chances that Demon Slayer: Mugen Train will come to Netflix sometime in the near future.
