Anthony Foronda, the marketing specialist of Aniplex of America describes Rengoku as a “big brother” to Tanjiro and his friends. He has a warm and caring character and this new mission with the other Demon Slayers is bound to be fun.

The whole movie’s plot will reportedly take place on the train itself. Ufotable has promised a high-quality animation style. The upcoming movie will be one of the best in terms of cinematic animation style.

We cannot wait for all those complex shots of action scenes on top of the train!

Enmu, one of the twelve kizukis is the main antagonist of the movie. His powers are mainly hypnosis and manipulation, however, further details are not yet known. The film will bring with it more exciting details and maybe a peek into the anime’s season 2.
