The final confrontation of the Medicine Seller already has a date. Twin Engine released the first official trailer for Gekijoban Mononoke Dai-San-Sho: Hebigami (Mononoke the Movie: Chapter 3: Snake God), the third and final installment in the franchise's film trilogy. The video revealed that the film will hit theaters in Japan on May 29, 2026.
