A Tempura Pork Bowl for Inosuke, a Six-Eyed Pancake for Kokushibo

The finale lineup runs four dishes deep, each built around a specific character rather than just stamped with a logo. Inosuke Hashibira gets a rice bowl piled with his beloved tempura over pork in a sweet garlic-soy glaze. It is pork rather than wild boar, which seems like the polite choice. The bowl sells for ¥1,098 including tax (about $7.50), with a slightly higher takeout price.

Shinobu Kocho's dish is the Butterfly Dance grilled chicken salad, which scatters colorful vegetables around grilled chicken to suggest butterflies drifting over a flower field. Two pieces of garlic toast come on the side, and the plate costs ¥988.

Gyomei Himejima, called the strongest member of the Demon Slayer Corps in a report from Japanese anime news site Anime Anime, gets the heaviest plate of the four. A teriyaki-sauced hamburg steak stands in for the spiked iron ball chained to his blade, while a mustard-sauced pork steak represents his overwhelming physique. The combo is the priciest of the new items at ¥1,428.

Kokushibo, Upper Rank One himself, becomes dessert. His tiramisu pancake uses six orange slices to recreate his six eyes, with chocolate syrup and scattered mixed berries tracing the shape of a katana across the plate. It costs ¥988.

110,000 Drawstring Pouches and the Returning Menu

Every collab dish ordered comes with one original drawstring pouch, handed out at random from 20 designs that include one secret variant. The giveaway is capped at 110,000 pouches across all participating stores, first come, first served. Takeout and delivery orders count too. Each pouch measures 110mm by 140mm, and some locations may not carry them.

The four newcomers join a continuing lineup that stays on the menu through the end of the campaign: Tanjiro Kamado's Flame Dance hamburg steak paired with Giyu Tomioka's Water Surface Slash grilled beef, Nezuko's candy-inspired parfait, Kyojuro Rengoku's beef hot pot bento, Tengen Uzui's flashy spicy chicken nanban set, Muzan Kibutsuji's black curry cheese-stuffed hamburg steak, and Akaza's three-item sampler plate. An online-order-only hors d'oeuvre platter bundled with three bonus novelties rounds out the list at ¥4,318.

The campaign has been a monster hit for the family restaurant chain since launching on July 14, 2026. The first three waves produced 16 dishes in total, and cumulative sales passed 1 million collab meals as of August 30. Joyfull is also running visit-stamp giveaways and social media campaigns alongside the food.

150 Million Copies and a Film Trilogy Mid-Run

Koyoharu Gotouge's manga ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump and wrapped at 23 volumes, with more than 150 million copies in circulation. ufotable has handled the anime since the TV series debuted in April 2019, most recently with the Hashira Training arc that aired from May 2024.

The story now continues on the big screen. The Infinity Castle film trilogy picks up where Hashira Training left off, and its first chapter, Akaza Returns, opened in Japan on July 18, 2025. A full-series rebroadcast has also been running on Japanese TV since April 5, 2026.

Looking Ahead

The fourth-wave menu is available from September 8 at 3:00 p.m. through September 29 at 3:00 p.m. at Joyfull locations across Japan. Full menu details and store information are on the campaign's special site, linked from the Anime Anime article.

The collab itself has no international leg, but the franchise around it is easy to reach. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Part 1 began streaming worldwide on Crunchyroll on July 28, 2026, everywhere except Japan and mainland China, alongside digital purchase options in select territories. The TV series streams on Crunchyroll and Netflix, and Viz Media publishes the complete 23-volume manga in English. Joyfull has not said whether a fifth wave or an overseas version is coming.
