What is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (and why is everyone obsessed)?
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a popular Japanese anime and manga series. It follows Tanjiro Kamado, a kind-hearted boy who joins the Demon Slayer Corps after his family is slaughtered by demons and his sister Nezuko tragically transformed into one. What follows is a mix of emotional storytelling, intense sword fights, and beautifully animated battle sequences.
The franchise’s popularity is just as strong here. The first Demon Slayer film was Singapore’s fifth highest-grossing film of 2020, while Japanese actor Takahiro Sakurai, the voice of fan-favourite Giyu Tomioka, attended the latest release’s red carpet premiere. To borrow a pop culture phrase: “It’s not just an anime, it’s a cultural phenomenon.” And this exhibition is designed to let fans experience it beyond the screen.
What it’s like inside the exhibition
Spanning 21,000 sq ft across two floors, the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Total Concentration Exhibition in Singapore is designed as a walkthrough-style experience that takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete. Each section is carefully staged to pull you deeper into the Demon Slayer universe.
1. Mount Fujikasane
The experience kicks off at Mount Fujikasane, the mountain used for the Demon Slayer Corps’ Final Selection. Bathed in blue lighting and surrounded by wisteria trees in full bloom, this zone feels atmospheric and slightly surreal. It reminded me of Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman’s climactic battle scene in Kill Bill.
Mount Fujikasane is located at the entrance, so expect throngs of people queueing up and squeezing for photos with the twins. Tip: Adjust your camera settings unless you don’t mind looking like a lost member of the Blue Man Group.
2. Demon Slayer Headquarters
Next, you’re brought into the Demon Slayer Headquarters, spotlighting the organisation itself. You’ll find character profiles, an organisational chart of the Corps, displays of Nichirin swords, and carefully curated quotes and illustrations from the series here. Hardcore fans will appreciate the lore-heavy details; take your time admiring the swords.
P.S. No photography is allowed in this zone, so do your best to commit everything to memory.
3. Special Training
Think of this as the exhibition’s interactive pit stop — and your chance to prove you’ve got what it takes. At Special Training, visitors are invited to take part in a short activity by whipping out their phones, scanning a QR code, and following the on-screen instructions.
Complete the challenge and you’ll earn a certificate confirming you as an official Demon Slayer, which is honestly a great ego boost. It’s a nice, playful touch that breaks up the exhibition’s heavier moments.
4. House of Demons
Things take a darker turn in the House of Demons, located on the second floor. This space showcases illustrations of demons from the series (you won’t be allowed to take photos of the sketches) while partially recreating the eerie atmosphere of Kibutsuji Muzan’s Infinity Castle. Special effects kick in at regular intervals, signalling the presence of demons and heightening tension. If you’re not great with jump scares, I say hold on tightly to someone in your entourage.
5. Battle of Mount Natagumo
This will be a highlight for many fans. Battle of Mount Natagumo puts the spotlight on the anime’s iconic Breathing Styles. Original illustrations depict Demon Slayers mid-attack, while a dedicated photo spot recreates the flowing effects of Water Breathing. It’s visually striking and easily one of the most IG-worthy parts of the exhibition. Feel free to shout out the iconic phrase when posing for photos and videos!
6. Mugen Train
Arguably the most emotional stop on the walkthrough, this section recreates scenes from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train. Step inside life-sized reproductions of the train carriages and relive moments shared by Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Flame Hashira Rengoku Kyojuro. This is another popular spot, so I recommend exercising patience as you wait for your turn.
7. Battle in the Entertainment District
Welcome to this interactive space inspired by the Entertainment District arc. Peek-through holes in traditional fusuma panels, hidden contraptions, and glimpses of the infamous Muscle Mice make this section particularly fun to explore. Go on and place your stamped hand under the blue light for a cool surprise! The shoji doors will switch on and off, revealing silhouettes of characters. See if you can identify who they are!
8. Kimetsu Academy
The walkthrough wraps up with Kimetsu Academy, which draws from the official spin-off series that imagines the Demon Slayer characters living in a modern, peaceful world. It’s lighter, more playful, and a welcome breather after the heavier story beats, showing a side of the characters far removed from their usual life-or-death battles. Have fun posing here! It’ll look great on the ‘gram.
9. Eyecatch Collection and Shikishi Display Corner
Sike! There are still two more sections before your Demon Slayer exhibition experience comes to an end. The Eyecatch Collection is a display of eyecatches (artistic scenes or illustrations used in Japanese television to mark transitions in and out of commercial breaks) drawn by Akira Matsushima, the character designer.
The Shikishi Display Corner follows, showcasing sketches and works by the Ufotable staff, many of whom help produce the anime. This is a new collection done specifically for the exhibition.
Exclusive merchandise you can only get in Singapore
Just when you think the experience is over, you’re funnelled straight into the official merchandise store: a 1,000 sq ft danger zone for fans with weak self-control. This is where wallets get absolutely bullied.
The real draw here is the Singapore-exclusive merchandise, featuring adorable chibi versions of Demon Slayer characters designed by Ufotable, complete with local landmarks woven into the designs. These exclusive items can only be seen and purchased at the Singapore exhibition, making them especially tempting for collectors.
You’ll also find a wide range of goods, from small keepsakes to statement pieces, along with limited-edition items that are likely to disappear quickly. My advice? Set a budget before entering, because once you’re inside, it’s very easy to justify “just one more” item as a souvenir of your time in the Demon Slayer universe.
Is the Demon Slayer exhibition worth a visit?
Hot take: unless you’re a hardcore Demon Slayer fan or an upstanding member of the anime community, this exhibition may not completely blow your mind… and that’s okay. At its core, the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Total Concentration Exhibition is designed first and foremost for fans in Singapore who already have an emotional connection to the series.
That said, the experience is undeniably well-produced. The immersive sets, dynamic lighting, interactive elements, and life-sized recreations show clear attention to detail and respect for the source material. If you appreciate anime as a visual art form or enjoy pop culture exhibitions with strong theming, there’s still plenty here to enjoy. It’s a rare opportunity to step inside the world of Demon Slayer, even if just for an hour.
For fans, it’s an easy yes; for everyone else, it’s a visually striking introduction to one of anime’s biggest franchises.
