    The Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train anime film has sold a total of 26.88 million tickets and earned a cumulative 36.8 billion yen (US$351.4 million) in Japan as of Sunday, its 16th weekend. However, the film has dropped back to #2 in the Japanese box office in terms of tickets sold, after two weekends spent back at the top.

    The film also ranked at #2 in its opening weekend in South Korea. The film earned the equivalent of US$880,000 (984,609,680 won) over the weekend, and has earned a cumulative total of US$1.63 million (1,820,102,670 won) in its first five days (the film opened last Wednesday, January 27). The film sold 41.7% of all tickets sold in South Korea on its opening day, and it had already ranked #1 in advance ticket sales before its opening. The film was originally scheduled to open in South Korea in December, but it was delayed to January 27 due to concerns about the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

    After 12 consecutive weeks at #1 in the box office in Japan, the film dropped to #2 during the January 9-10 weekend, its 13th weekend. The film ranked at #1 again in its 14th and 15th weekend.

    The film has surpassed Hayao Miyazaki's 2002 Spirited Away, its last rival for all-time highest earnings in Japanese box office history. (Spirited Away earned 30.8 billion yen in its original run, but has since earned a total of 31.68 billion yen after last summer's revival screenings.) The Demon Slayer film is now also at least the second highest-earning anime film of all time worldwide, topping your name.'s worldwide US$357,986,087 earnings.

  • Keyaru’s Current List of Abilities Explained - Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi’s (Redo of Healer)

    Read More
    1



    Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi’s (Redo of Healer) protagonist, Keyaru, sports an interesting healing ability. Unlike in most anime, his healing has a lot of other functions. It’s not necessarily just for doing good deeds, but also for exacting his most desired revenge. On the other hand, his ability also takes a huge toll on his body, but this also allows him to further expand his set of abilities.

    Here are the abilities revealed in the series so far.

    Recover

    Recover is just your typical healing ability. It allows Keyaru to heal wounds and injuries. That includes injuries he himself has sustained. This ability is so potent that it can even recover severed limbs, but it has one great drawback. Using Recover forces Keyaru to relive the suffering of the person he’s healing, which often makes him collapse. Using it on himself, however, has no negative consequences.

    Simulation

    Going hand-in-hand with Recover, Simulation allows Keyaru to copy skills and abilities of people he has healed. What’s terrifying about this ability is that it doesn’t have any cap, meaning the skills and abilities Keyaru steals only stacks up. He also permanently gains these abilities and can use them at will.

    Currently, the series has only revealed two stolen abilities that Keyaru has used. First is Kureha Krylet’s swordsmanship. Krylet is both a splendid knight and the first-ever person Keyaru has healed. Back then, Kureha has lost an arm in battle and is rendered incapacitated. Keyaru heals her, which gives him his first taste of Recover’s drawback. Keyaru uses Krylet’s swordsmanship to quickly dispose of the knights guarding Flare.

    The second ability is Alchemy. As its name suggests, this ability allows Keyaru to change one form of matter to another. He acquires this ability when he has healed an alchemist who has lost both of his hands. Keyaru uses this ability to escape his jail cell.

    Corruption

    This skill allows Keyaru to destroy things simply by touching them. Contrary to what a healing ability is supposed to be doing, this can also be used to destroy humans with a single touch. In fact, this is what he has used to defeat the Demon Lord in his previous life. For his revenge, however, he uses this to destroy his cuffs, as well as Flare’s clothes.

    Upgrade

    Upgrade has two revealed uses. First, it allows Keyaru to change his appearance. It’s also possible to copy another person’s appearance, as well as alter other people’s appearance. This allows him to set up a meticulous plan to trick the king. After he has escaped from the dungeon, he alters the appearance of the knight who whipped him 30 times into that of himself. Then, he changes his appearance to that of the knight. He frames him and tricks Flare into letting him into her room.

    The second function of Upgrade is Memory Erasure. As the name implies, this ability allows Keyaru to erase a person’s memory. He uses this ability on Flare after he changes her appearance. He then baptizes her into a new persona, his lover Freia.

    Toxin Resistance

    Keyaru’s final ability (yet) and the ability he has been waiting to gain is Toxin Resistance. With this ability, Keyaru is able to break from addiction to the drug Flare was issuing him, which consequently allows him to regain his sanity. The moment he has acquired this ability, he springs into action to start his revenge.

    Final Thoughts

    Well, that’s it. For a healer, Keyaru sure has a lot of abilities that can cause a lot of damage to a human body. His abilities are even more convenient for doing crimes, and more so for plotting heinous revenge plots. Keyaru still hasn’t shown his full potential, so he might be hiding more abilities up his sleeves. Given his Simulation ability, he’s sure to further increase his skillset too.

  • Signs of destiny: the Chinese zodiac in Fruits Basket

    Read More
    0

     


    This year in the Chinese calendar marks a new year of the Rat, something Fruits Basket’s Yuki Sohma would perhaps feel quietly happy about. The myth in Chinese astrology goes that being in the year of your own zodiac animal could bring bad luck for the whole of that year. But old Sohma is a laid back kind of soul and not one to kow-tow to superstition, and so we can see him thinking of 2020 as his year.

    Of course, in a way, he’s absolutely right. The remake of the Fruits Basket anime returns this spring for its second season, and as ever it’s proved to be a celebration of the intercultural power of zodiac fortune telling, while cautioning not to take such things too seriously. Tohru Honda finds a beloved family in the Sohmas, a family which represents the animals of the zodiac, while being cursed to transform into their furry (or sometimes scaly) soul emblem whenever they are embraced by the opposite sex. As romantic as it might be for Tohru to meet the ostracised zodiac cat in Kyo Sohma, it is his nature to arch his back and hiss at strangers who come too close. And as much as she might long to comfort Yuki’s troubled soul, she will find herself cuddling with a rat if she puts an arm wrong. Let mangaka Natsuki Takaya’s message be known—trying to force connections based on somebody’s star sign will have embarrassing consequences.

    But who can really blame Tohru for finding the Sohma family so captivating? Each of their stories are tied with the Taoist faith which, in part, formed the Chinese zodiac; a faith in the stars, sun and space being the keys to a person’s future. To a person like Tohru, who has suffered loss and feels like she doesn’t belong, finding the zodiac’s representatives on Earth must bring her hope that destiny exists to make everything right in the end.

    In the zodiac’s origin story The Great Race, there is a message of even the outcast ones retaining their ties to a spirit of oneness. When all the animals were invited to a farewell feast for the Buddha before he entered Nirvana, the story goes that the first twelve animals to arrive would forever be honoured guests at his table. So the rat came first by taking a ride on the back of the ox, and Cat would have been in good stead as well if Rat hadn’t tricked him into slipping from Ox’s back (hence why Kyo is always in competition with Yuki). Even though not every animal made the twelve-year calendar or ‘junishi’, each one still has spiritual significance in Taoism and Daoism, and though Kyo takes the rat’s trick oh so seriously, he is still welcome as one of the Sohma family.

    Because the Sohma ties are so strong, pulling them back to their ancestral estate to celebrate the new year, Tohru’s first New Year’s Eve as their friend is almost a solitary one. It’s a good thing she has a mortal friend or two to convince the boys to turn tails. When they arrive back home, she’s just about to give in to the sadness of having no family to celebrate with. Fruits Basket may well be warning the reader or viewer away from pinning all our hopes to a myth, but this moment in the episode ‘A Solitary New Year’ is one that encourages us to keep some faith in our stars. If flesh and blood was all we had, it could be a lonely and hopeless existence indeed. Tohru has to hope that there is some deeper meaning to keep herself going when the grief of losing her mother starts to weigh heavy. Some would believe she was foolish to cling to something so intangible. But it is her faith in fate which draws her into the Sohma circle, and her life purpose; healing three souls who need her affection as much as she needs theirs.
