Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle hit American theaters on Sept. 12 and it’s already breaking records.

The animated film grossed over $555 million worldwide according to an article dropped by Forbes, making it the highest-grossing anime film of all time globally. This also makes the film the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time. In the United States alone, the film grossed a whopping total of $104 million, making it the highest-grossing anime film in the U.S. of all time.

All this in just two weeks? It’s not as uncommon as you think. In 2020, Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train dropped and became the first, now second, highest-grossing anime film of all time, amassing a total of $506,473,668 worldwide. It’s clear the anime is a major hit. If you didn’t know, the story is centered around teenager Tanjiro Kamado as he navigates a world overrun by demons after his entire family is slaughtered by them, except for his younger sister Nezuko. The problem? Nezuko was transformed into a demon. Tanjiro must now find a way to turn his sister back into a human while training to become a Demon Slayer.

With hype for the film still in full swing, we’re sharing a few of our favorite merch pieces that you can shop right now from Crocs to Uniqlo. We’ve rounded up a few collaborative pieces, as well as good old-fashion collectible figures, everything you need to show off your love for the series.

Crocs just launched a Demon Slayer-inspired collection of clogs. The collection includes five styles total, all pulling design inspo from characters from the series including Tanjiro, Nezuko, Shinobu, Inosuke and Zenitsu. The full collection is pretty awesome; however, we chose the Tanjiro clogs for $94.99 to highlight the hero of Demon Slayer. We might be biased. Anyhow, these Echo clogs are waterproof, lightweight and stylish to boot, equipped with a green and black checkerboard print inspired by Tanjiro’s kimono. The collab also includes Jibbitz inspired by the anime that can be bought separately.

Uniqlo is just one of many brands to collaborate with the popular anime, bringing the characters to life on tees and sweats. While their latest collection features a slew of pieces, we recommend the UT Graphic T-Shirt for $24.90. The style is unisex and comes in sizes XXS to XXL. The tee is white and made of breathable 100% cotton and features a colorful graphic of Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko on the front. The collaborative piece is slightly oversized, so keep that in mind before picking a size.

Got a bestie who is just as obsessed with Demon Slayer as you are? You can both show your love for the anime and manga with this Shinobu & Kanao Best Friend Necklace Set from Hot Topic. Retailing for $13.90, the set comes with matching butterfly necklaces with designs mirrored after the characters Shinobu and Kanao, two adoptive sisters from the series. The butterfly pendants are attached to chains—one in gold and one in silver. This would make a great gift for you and your anime-obsessed bestie.

If you’re less into wearable merch, Walmart has a ton of action figures and display pieces from Demon Slayer sure to liven up any space. Take this Nezuko Kamado Action Figure, for example. Retailing for $27.98, the figure depicts Nezuko in her full-on demon form and has movable limbs, so you can pose her in any way you please. The piece is extremely detailed, down to the bamboo in her mouth.

If you’re more of a gamer, Walmart also has Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles available for $69.99. The game is available for the PlayStation 4 and 5 along with the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series. The game is currently rated T for Teen.

Like blind boxes? You’re not alone. Now you can combine your love for anime and the phenom by shopping Pop Mart’s Demon Slayer Birth Flower Series Figures on Amazon for just $20.99. You have the option to pull 12 different mini figures, all from the Demon Slayer universe. You’ll also have the option to pull a secret figure which will be Kyōjurō Rengoku, or the Flame Hashira. Each figure is extremely detailed and super colorful, making it a great addition to any shelf.

Similarly, Funko Pop has figures you can purchase of most, if not all, of the Demon Slayer characters. These durable vinyl figures are available on Amazon. We picked the Tanjiro Kamado Sun Breathing figure for $15.99 standing at 3.75 inches. The figure is a great collector’s item and makes a great gift for the Demon Slayer-obsessed loved one in your life.

More About SEVENTEEN

Despite their name, SEVENTEEN is a 13-member boy group that was formed by Pledis Entertainment back in 2015. The group is divided into three sub-units, each with an area of specialization: a Hip-Hop Team, Vocal Team and Performance Team. Members include S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino. The group debuted with the track “Adore U.”

As of July of this year, the group achieved their seventh No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart with their fifth album HAPPY BURSTDAY. SEVENTEEN also scored its first No. 1 on Top Album Sales back in 2021. It’s safe to say the group has done pretty well for themselves since their debut, scoring major wins alongside the likes of other third-generation K-pop boy groups like EXO, BTS, NCT and GOT7.

Metro Boomin has won a verdict clearing him of wrongdoing in a civil lawsuit from a woman who claimed that he sexually assaulted and impregnated her in 2016.

After a three-day trial and a just a brief deliberation, Rolling Stone reports that jurors on Thursday rejected allegations from Vanessa LeMaistre, who alleged that the star producer (Leland T. Wayne) raped her after she ingested Xanax and alcohol at his studio during a recording session.

Earlier in the week, Wayne had testified in the courtroom that there was “no way in the world” he had assaulted LeMaistre. He claimed their encounter had been consensual – and that she had concocted her “shakedown” accusations while hallucinating on ayahuasca.

“This whole lawsuit was born out of a drug den in Peru. In the jungle,” Wayne’s defense lawyer, Justin H. Sanders, said in his closing argument. “This case is preposterous.”

In a statement, LeMaistre’s lawyer Michael J. Willemin said:  “Though the legal system is often stacked against survivors, our client showed unwavering fortitude throughout this trial. We are disappointed in the outcome but are proud to represent Ms. LeMaistre and believe that the verdict will ultimately be overturned on appeal.”

LeMaistre sued Metro in 2024, claiming she met the producer in Las Vegas in the spring of 2016. LeMaistre says she confided in Metro about the recent death of her 9-month-old son, and that they “bonded over the ability of music to help people in their darkest moments.”

But LeMaistre’s belief about her bond with Metro allegedly “shattered” the following September, when the producer invited her to watch him work in his California recording studio. LeMaistre said she had a shot of alcohol and half a tablet of Xanax, then blacked out, waking up on a bed in a different location “completely unable to move or make a sound” while Metro raped her.

LeMaistre alleged she became pregnant as a result of the assault and had an abortion in November 2016. Notably, the lawsuit claimed the attack had been referenced in Metro’s 2017 song “Rap Saved Me” with Offset, 21 Savage and Quavo.

But as reported by Rolling Stone, Metro’s lawyers centered their defense on claims that she had decided to air those accusations during a 2024 ceremony Peru in which she took the psychoactive drug Ayahuasca. At one point, jurors saw a handwritten note penned during the trip in which LeMaistre wrote that she would “blow the whistle on Metro Boomin”; at another, she said a demand for more than $3 million in damages had been “given to me” during the Ayahuasca ceremony.

Following the verdict, Metro’s attorneys did not immediately return a request for comment. But as reported by legal journalist Meghann Cuniff, the star told reporters outside the courthouse: “I’m blessed and glad the truth prevailed.”

As fans of The Tonight Show know all too well, host Jimmy Fallon is a huge Taylor Swift fan. And in a video posted to his own and the late-night show’s social media accounts on Thursday morning (Sept. 25), he teased his fellow Swifties that they will soon see the pop superstar take a seat on his couch.

The clip — captioned with a simple “Not a lot going on at the moment” — starts off with the comedian placing bets in a game of roulette, stacking his chips on black 10, black 6 and red 25. The wheel then spins, with the ball going round and round as an excited Fallon watches, until it finally lands on … black 13. “Ugh!” the frustrated TV personality sighs in exasperation. “Baby, that’s show business for you.”

As he walks around the offices at Rockefeller Center, a parade of decked-out showgirls complete with feathery headdresses and sequined costumes walks by with an “Excuse us, honey,” leaving a stunned Fallon behind.

So let’s break it down with some Swiftie math and an Easter egg hunt — something Fallon has done multiple times on his own show: The initial set of numbers were 10, 6 and 25, indicating a show date of Monday, Oct. 6, which would be just three days after Swift’s upcoming new album, The Life of a Showgirl, drops. And 13, as any casual Taylor Swift fan would know, is her favorite number. Follow that with his quote about show biz combined with the showgirls who saunter by? No doubt the 14-time Grammy winner is set for another appearance on NBC’s long-running late-night talk show, right?

Indeed. About three hours after the video was shared, the late-night show’s official Instagram account confirmed that the pop superstar would be appearing. “@taylorswift joins us Monday 10/6/25 to talk The Life of a Showgirl! Tune in at 11:35/10:35c on @nbc! ❤️‍🔥” the account wrote in the comments.

“TAYLOR SWIFT OCTOBER 6TH EXACTLY!!!” one person commented on the TikTok post.

“I LOVE WHEN JIMMY GETS IN ON THE EASTER EGGS YESSSS 😍😍😍,” added another on Instagram, while someone else commented, “Yess TAYINTERVIEW is backkkkk. It’s been a long time coming @jimmyfallon . Don’t forget to call Andrea up.”

In addition to this Tonight Show appearance to promote The Life of a Showgirl, Swift is already confirmed to return to The Graham Norton Show on the album’s release day, Oct. 3. She’ll be appearing alongside Jodie Turner-Smith and Domhnall Gleeson.
