·1 hr 57 min·2 clips

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, at roughly $600 million, has passed Fantastic Four, Cap 4 and Thunderbolts in 2025 worldwide box office.

1. Otaku Jump #87 is an anime, film, TV and gaming news show that covers Demon Slayer's 2025 box office run, a Pokémon copyright dispute, and a Marvel's Wolverine teaser from the September State of Play. 2. The solo host is joined by Trunks, who arrives late after saying he might be, and by Smooth, a first-time guest brought in over Discord and the chat who says he has a backlog of anime to watch. 3. The episode's main thread is the host's claim that Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, at about $600 million, is now top 10 worldwide for 2025 and ahead of three Marvel films. 4. The host lists Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning, Fantastic Four: First Steps, Cap 4, Thunderbolts, Sinners, Weapons and Bad Guys 2 as films Demon Slayer has passed, and says "anime is not a niche anymore." 5. In the Pokémon segment, the host reports that Homeland Security posted arrest footage set to the Pokémon theme, that Pokémon Company International said it did not grant permission, and that its former legal chief told IGN he would not take action. 6. Trunks says the company should act like Nintendo and sue, and Smooth and the host argue that Pokémon, which the host says is "supposed to be for everyone," should not be tied to a political message. 7. The host reports that That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ends on November 29 with volume 23 after 11 years, and credits it with popularizing the reincarnation genre. 8. The panel discusses Dandadan season 3, Sakamoto Days and Blue Lock, with Trunks saying he would rather rewatch One Piece than finish Dandadan season 2, and the host comparing new anime to the XXL freshman cypher, whose last good class he puts at 2016. 9. On live action, Smooth calls adaptations "lazy" and a lack of creativity, citing Captain Tsubasa as a soccer anime that never got one, while Trunks and the host mention Shaolin Soccer from 2001 and Rurouni Kenshin; the host also covers the Death Stranding anime from Kojima Productions and says its CGI look doesn't appeal to him, while Trunks cites Kengan Ashura as proof CGI can work. 10. Fans of anime news, box office talk and casual panel debate will enjoy it.
