Things are getting tense in the geopolitical landscape and, unfortunately, anime could pay the price. A recent report from a user on social networks, @myokoi1962, who claims to be in direct contact with government officials in Shanghai, he has set off the alarms. According to the information, there is a real possibility that the release of the next films Kimetsu no Yaiba be canceled on China due to a growing diplomatic conflict.
A historic insult and the anger of the Party
According to the source, the Chinese Communist Party he is furious at recent actions of Japanese politics Sanae Takaichi, interpreting them as "the biggest insult since 1945". Although Chinese citizens appear to remain calm, the government leadership is discussing severe measures, including restricting visa-free travel for Japanese citizens and, what hurts us most, a possible cultural blockade.
Kimetsu no Yaiba on the tightrope
The informant explicitly mentioned: "Hey? The projection of Kimetsu no Yaiba it could also be cancelled...". This would imply that the long-awaited Infinite Castle trilogy may not see the light of day in the Asian giant's cinemas, a crucial market for the international box office. In addition, a broader ban on cultural exchanges would be considered Japan, similar to the situation that occurred when Korea he pointed missiles at China under pressure of USA.
