Synopsis:
This collaboration film blends the world of *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba* with the history of Japanese baseball, exploring the theme of inherited emotion. The narrative follows a cast of characters who find themselves unexpectedly intertwined with pivotal moments in baseball's past. Through these connections, the film examines how feelings – determination, resilience, and even sorrow – can be passed down through generations, shaping individual destinies and influencing outcomes. Set against a backdrop of classic baseball imagery and historical settings, it offers a contemplative look at legacy and the enduring power of emotional resonance. The story emphasizes personal growth and the weight of familial burdens within a uniquely realized setting, providing a thoughtful contrast to the series’ typical demon-slaying action.

My mom saw this and realized that my dad was a total loser compared to the likes of anime Mookie Betts and Dansby Swanson. He begged her to stay, but his career batting average was only .110 and had negative WAR. When she pointed this out, my father agreed that she deserved better. He decided he’d work on his swing every day until he became good enough to stand next to Shohei (yeah, right). Thanks Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer for you NORMIES) for showing my mom her true worth and giving me two new dads. Soon to be three once Seiya Suzuki starts responding tomy emails.
