The supernatural smiters of Demon Slayer are joining powers with the stars of Major League Baseball in a new animated collaboration!
The MLB x Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba team-up is based around the upcoming MLB World Tour Tokyo Series, which starts with pre-season games pitting the Hanshin Tigers against the Yomiuri Giants on March 15 and 16. Opening games featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. the Chicago Cubs follow on March 18 and 19.
A special promotional video was released along with the announcement. The ufotable-produced anime short covers the evolution of Japanese baseball and features the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Shota Imanaga and more.
There will also be collaboration merch for order during the MLB Tokyo Series, with more details to come.
