Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training has been absolutely crushing the box office since its release in Japan, and it's continued to rake in insane numbers across Asia, sparking a global pilgrimage for fans in the US and beyond.
The film recently blasted past the 10 billion JPY mark in global box office earnings, and today (11/25), the official team dropped a massive bonus: a brand-new theatrical giveaway! Starting November 29, a limited run of 1 million "Shinobu Kocho Thank You Boards," personally drawn by original author Koyoharu Gotouge, will be distributed. The announcement immediately set the internet ablaze.
This latest bonus item, the "Shinobu Kocho Thank You Board," features an illustration of Shinobu Kocho personally drawn by Koyoharu Gotouge-sensei, paired with a thank you message for the audience. These A5-sized message boards will be given to moviegoers.
It's a big deal because ever since Demon Slayer wrapped up, Koyoharu Gotouge has practically vanished from the public eye, with very few updates and almost no opportunities for new public artwork. This movie bonus drawing is arguably the first public artwork from the author in ages! Given its immense collector's value, it's sure to draw another massive wave of moviegoers.
After all, with 1 million copies announced, this bonus is practically a siren call for fans to rush back to theaters. The film is now just a hair's breadth away from the 40.7 billion JPY box office of the "Mugen Train" arc, and fans are confident it's only a matter of time before it breaks that record.
