Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Ichiban Kuji 'Sister's Vendetta' Announced, Subtitle Garners Huge Social Media Reaction

The latest Ichiban Kuji lottery for the popular anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," titled "Ichiban Kuji Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ~Sister's Vendetta~," has been announced for sequential release starting Saturday, November 29, 2025. Its subtitle has garnered a significant reaction on social media.

The most prominent feature of this Ichiban Kuji is its subtitle, "~Sister's Vendetta~." This directly alludes to Shinobu Kocho's deep-seated hatred for Upper Rank Two, Doma, and the core thematic element of avenging her older sister, Kanae Kocho. Many fans have expressed sentiments like "It makes me cry" and "It stirs my emotions."

The lineup features the A Prize: "Shinobu Kocho Figure ~There's Something I Must Do~." The B Prize is "Doma Figure ~Upper Rank Two~," and the C Prize is "Doma Figure ~Childhood Ver.~." Furthermore, the Last One Prize will be "Doma Figure ~Upper Rank Two~ Last One Ver." The notable aspect is the multiple figures of the arch-nemesis, Doma. Some fans have even playfully dubbed it "Doma Kuji" (Doma Lottery) due to the abundance of Doma figures. Each draw costs 790 yen (tax included) and will be available at Lawson convenience stores, bookstores, hobby shops, Ichiban Kuji official shops, and Ichiban Kuji ONLINE.

In response to this announcement, comments on social media included "The subtitles going from 'Thunder Brothers' to 'Sister's Vendetta' really stir the emotions," and many expressed eagerness to acquire the items, such as "I want both Shinobu and Doma. My savings won't make it!" On the other hand, some voices also called for a figure of Shinobu Kocho's older sister, Kanae Kocho.

Evoking the fierce battles of the "Infinity Castle Arc," this "Ichiban Kuji Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ~Sister's Vendetta~" will undoubtedly become an unmissable collector's item for fans, recreating crucial moments from the story through its figure collection.

The context

"Ichiban Kuji" is a popular Japanese lottery system where participants pay a fixed price for one draw, guaranteeing a prize ranging from exclusive figures to smaller merchandise. The immensely popular anime and manga series "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" (鬼滅の刃) follows Tanjiro Kamado's journey to avenge his family and cure his sister Nezuko, who was turned into a demon. This particular Ichiban Kuji focuses on a critical and emotional storyline within the series: Shinobu Kocho, one of the powerful Hashira (Demon Slayer Corps' highest-ranking swordsmen), and her deep-seated desire for revenge against Doma, Upper Rank Two of the Twelve Kizuki (the strongest demons serving Muzan Kibutsuji). Doma is responsible for the death of Shinobu's beloved older sister, Kanae Kocho, who was also a Hashira. The "Infinity Castle Arc" mentioned is a pivotal segment in the manga and anime where the Demon Slayer Corps engages in their final, brutal confrontation with Muzan and his Upper Rank demons, including Shinobu's fateful battle with Doma. The reference to "Thunder Brothers" likely pertains to an earlier Ichiban Kuji or arc involving Zenitsu Agatsuma and his former senior disciple, Kaigaku.
