Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba will be returning to USJ, as the theme park will once again hold a collaboration with the show. This time, there will be attractions based on the Swordsmith Village and Hashira Training Arcs. [Thanks, Oricon!]
The Demon Slayer collaboration at USJ will run from July 19, 2024 to January 5, 2025. There is a new key visual, featuring characters from the aforementioned arcs such as Mitsuri and Muichirou. There will be two new attractions: an XR ride and a Dream Ride. USJ’s XR rides usually are a slower roller coaster in which you go through and “experience” the events of the theme, including with some 4D elements like fog and voices.
As for merchandise you can get during this event, you can get a gourd that looks like the one Tanjiro used for his breathing training. This gourd will contain popcorn. More food and drinks based on Demon Slayer will be available in the USJ collaboration restaurant.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a wildly popular anime and manga series. The manga ran from 2016 to 2020, and ufotable’s anime series started airing in 2019. It’s so popular that the movie adaptation of the Mugen Train arc even surpassed Spirited Away to become the highest grossing film in Japan. Currently, it’s airing the Hashira Training Arc, which you can watch on services like Crunchyroll.
The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba collaboration event will be at USJ from July 19, 2024 to January 5, 2025.
