Crunchyroll’s Big New Movie Just Won the Battle of the Popcorn Buckets

by

In 2025, two massive anime films – “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle” and “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” – are expected to grace the big screen. Fans watching these movies in cinemas will likely indulge in a large bucket of popcorn, a must-have for such an occasion. However, diehard “Chainsaw Man” enthusiasts can elevate their movie experience to match Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original vision by using one of the finest anime-themed popcorn buckets available instead of regular cardboard containers.

Anticipating the Japanese cinema release of “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” on September 19th, an exciting merchandise for the movie has been unveiled – a popcorn bucket inspired by Denji’s Chainsaw Man head! Available exclusively through T-Joy cinemas, this colossal orange popcorn container features a retractable chainsaw and an articulating jaw to store the popcorn. The design is astounding, but it doesn’t stop there – the price tag is equally impressive at approximately 3,900 yen or around $26. As of now, this fantastic popcorn bucket is only available in Japan, though it might become accessible in the US when the film premieres domestically on October 24th.

Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc’s Popcorn Bucket Is Perfection!

In celebration of the release of “Chsen’man Man Rese Chapter” on September 19 (Thursday) at TI JOY-operated theaters and other cinemas nationwide, popcorn boxes modeled after the head of “Chsen’man” will be available for purchase starting from the movie’s release date. Don’t miss this opportunity to grab one at the theater…

It’s highly likely that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle will triumph at the box office in 2023. However, Chainsaw Man has been an uncontested champion when it comes to popcorn containers, with fans eagerly snacking out of sentient chainsaws in 2025. In a year filled with live-action movies competing for the biggest and best popcorn bucket, anime joined the trend and Chainsaw Man took home the crown as the undisputed victor.

Last week, AMC theaters revealed the authentic popcorn containers and drink holders for the movie Infinity Castle. The design of these cups is striking, given they’re modeled after the characters’ katanas. However, some fans find the actual bucket less satisfying. Despite this, when compared to the Japanese popcorn containers for Infinity Castle, which feature a rotatable cylinder displaying scenes from the series, the Denji popcorn container from Chainsaw Man takes the cake. US fans are now anticipating that these buckets will be accessible domestically in October.
