New Demon Slayer Mugs Are Decorated With Tanjiro and Friends

Kite StenbuckBy

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is getting so popular nowadays that the franchise has been getting all kinds of merchandise, from figures and watches, to even miniature cars. A new set of Demon Slayer mugs decorated with the franchise’s characters are currently being produced. [Thanks, Game Watch!] The mugs will be available in 8 different designs. All of them but one feature the title’s protagonist Tanjiro Kamado. Three designs have Tanjiro posing with Kyojuro Rengoku, while three others feature Tanjiro with Zenitsu and an unmasked Inosuke. The seventh design shows Tanjiro with his sister Nezuko, and the last one—the only design that doesn’t feature Tanjiro—has Enmu from the Mugen Train movie.

These Demon Slayer mugs will be made of porcelain and sized at approximately 120x95x80 millimeters (~4.72×3.74×3.15 inches). Pre-orders of the items are immediately available on the Charadepa webstore throughout the week until February 18, 2021. Each mug is available at 1,870 yen (~$17.80). The finished products will be widely available in May 2021. Most of the designs only have a few copies remaining in their pre-order stocks as of this writing. The first console game for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, currently known with its Japanese subtitle Hinokami Kepputan, will be released in 2021 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
