And speaking of Demon Slayer, it is also famous for collaborating with a wide variety of things. It seems as if there is no genre of products that they have not collaborated with, and now they have announced another new collaboration!
Here comes the Demon Slayer version of the stationery that took the Heisei era by storm!
The birth of Kimetsu's Batoen!
The new product announced this time is a pencil that can be rolled to play a "pencil game" called " Blood, Wind, and Fierce Battle P encil"!
If you recognize the image, you must be a relatively big friend of mine, right?
That's right! This item is a Demon Slayer version of the nostalgic " Battle Pencils "!
In the Heisei era, there were many products that fell somewhere between stationery and toys, and children would proudly take them to school with them, thinking that since they were stationery, it was OK to bring them to school, but there were many children who had them confiscated because they were not acceptable.
The typical item was the " Batoen " or "battle pencil," which sold like hotcakes to children, but at the same time the schools were looking for ways to crack down on them, leading to a battle between the children and the schools.
In the end, the battle was settled with a straightforward and ruthless "no Batouen" rule.
The "Blood, Wind, and Fierce Battle Pencils" are hexagonal pencils with actions written on each side, similar to the "Bat-en" pencils, and are played by rolling the hexagonal p encils.
The set will include three 2B pencils and a cap, and will be priced at 550 yen (tax included).
The first set will be released in November 2021 with pencils by Tanjiro Kamado, Priestess Kamado, and Giyu Tomioka (Vol. 1), and the second set with pencils by Zenitsu Wagatsuma, Inosuke Zukihira, and Sakonji Rintaki (Vol. 2).
Vol. 3 with Shinobu Butterfly, Kanawo Kurihanashi, and Lui will be released in December 2021, and Vol. 4 with Anjuro in Purgatory, Nightmare, and Akaruga will be released in the same month.
There is not much information yet, but be sure to check the official "Demon Slayer" portal site for further announcements!
Will the " No Bat'en " rule be issued again in the world of 2025? Let's look forward to the release of the game!
