The screening of the hit anime film “The Movie Devil’s Blade Infinite Train Edition” began on October 30, 2020 in Taiwan.
As the “demon annihilation boom” spreads in Taiwan, 57 “demon annihilations” are screened from day one at the cinema in Northwest Taoyuan City. Surprising voices from Japanese users have been heard due to the crowded schedule.

“Theatrical version of Devil’s Devil”, which is also released in Taiwan, is a hot topic (from the official website of “Theatrical version of Devil’s Blade Infinite Train Edition”)

“Demon Destruction” is screened 57 times a day … “Tomozono Ryoei Hidekage Castle” schedule (October 31, from the cinema’s official website)
The mayor becomes “Sumijiro” on Halloween
In Japan, “Theatrical Version Devil’s Blade Infinite Train Edition” was released on October 16. Movie theaters around the world were packed every day, and on the 25th, box office revenues exceeded 10 billion yen. With the sale of related products and collaborations with companies one after another, “destructive popularity” is now a social phenomenon.
The boom is spreading to Taiwan, which has a deep cultural connection to Japan. On the 28th, Mr. Lee, a member of Hsinchu City in northern Taiwan, posted a cosplay image dressed as the heroine of the play, “Kamado Nezuko”, on his Facebook page. At the Halloween parade in Hsinchu city on the 31st, he formed a “demon slaughter corps” (an organization that appears in the film) and announced that he would march.
In addition, on the 29th, the Facebook account of the Kanayama District, Shinboku City, Northern Taiwan, the District Mayor Takeki Hirotake cosplayed the main character of the play, “Kamado Tanjiro”, and dressed as a character that appears in the work. I posted a photo of the kids who did it.
On the 29th, the Taiwanese news site “Union Shimbun Network” published an article titled “How to avoid unwanted audiences on the first day of Movie Devil’s premiere” (hereinafter translated by the editorial department). With the premiere of the film on the 30th, there is a debate among Internet users about how to comfortably watch the play without encountering the “poor” audience in the cinema.
Opinions such as “buy all 3×3 seats” and “the only solution is to rent it yourself” are entered here, such as Ogiri, a netizen. At the end of the article, “It is not a good idea to see it when it has just been published, and it was felt that it is safer to wait a while until the fever subsides.”
“Become a denser diamond than in Japan”
What particularly strikes Japanese fans of Taiwan’s “devilish boom” is the number of daily screenings in local cinemas. In Japan, “TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku” will screen 42 “Kiki” on the first day of its release on October 16. It’s new to my memory that he was talked about so often that it was like a train schedule.
However, in Taiwan, there are movie theaters that go “above” that. For example, at “Taipei Nobuyoshi Hidekage Castle” in Taipei City, 43 movies (including midnight) will be screened on the 30th of the first opening day. At this point, it is still higher than the first day of “TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku”, but the next 31st 46 more will be screened.
On the first day of the release of “Tomozono Ryoei Hidekage Castle” in Taoyuan City, 57 “Devil” were screened. As for the schedule, the first one will be screened at 8:15 in the morning, and then the screening will continue at intervals of 10 to 20 minutes until 1:20 in the midnight. On the 31st and 1st, the screening of 57 films is scheduled.
Japanese Twitter users have been surprised by the “flight” in Taiwan, saying, “It’s like a train schedule” and “it’s going to be a tighter schedule than in Japan.”
