In a shocking revelation, Japanese netizens have discovered that a popular toy from the franchise “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” is for sale with an impressive 91% discount. The toy in question is a replica of the sword of Zenitsu Agatsuma, one of the most beloved characters in the series. This drastic discount has sparked intense debate on social media about the current interest in the franchise's products.

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”known for its popularity and resounding success both in Japan and internationally, is currently in the middle of its fourth season. However, this discovery has led many to question whether interest in the series' products is waning. Some internet users suggest that the market is saturated with a large number of products, which makes it impossible for everyone to achieve the same success.
The news of the Zenitsu sword being offered was widely discussed on forums and social media. Some fans speculate that the sheer amount of merchandise available may be one of the reasons behind the low sales of certain products. Despite the toy's high quality and detailed design, it seems to have failed to capture the public's attention as expected.
“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” has been one of the most successful franchises in recent years, having a significant impact on the anime and entertainment industry. The series, based on the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, broke box office records and was acclaimed for its high-quality animation and emotionally powerful storytelling.
Despite this, the discovery of this huge discount on the product suggests that not all spin-offs in the franchise achieve the same level of success. Fans have debated whether this could be a sign that the market for Demon Slayer merchandise is saturated. Some argue that the wide variety of products available makes it difficult for consumers to decide what to buy, causing certain items to not sell as well.
Others, however, believe that this may be an isolated case and that the popularity of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” is still strong. They point to the continued high ratings for the anime's fourth season as proof that the series continues to have a large and dedicated audience.
