Enmu Demon Slayer Funko Pop Exclusive Steals the Show at SDCC 2022

Enmu - The First Demon Moon from Demon Slayer Joins Funko Pop's SDCC Exclusives

Funko Pop stunned anime fans by announcing their San Diego Comic Con exclusive of Enmu - the first Demon Moon from the hugely popular Demon Slayer anime franchise. As one of the main antagonists in the Mugen Train arc, Enmu quickly became a fan favorite character. His unique blood demon art that allows him to manipulate dreams made him stand out among the demon moons. Now anime collectors can add this iconic character to their Funko Pop collections.

Enmu - The Dream Manipulating Demon

Enmu, whose human name is Akaza, is the first demon moon that Tanjiro Kamado and his friends encounter within the Demon Slayer story. As a powerful demon who once served under Muzan Kibutsuji himself, Enmu possesses a blood demon art that allows him to manipulate dreams. He is able to put humans into a deep sleep and control their dreams, making them experience endless nightmares. This ability makes him extremely dangerous to demon slayers.

During the Mugen Train arc, Enmu boards the infinity train which Tanjiro and his friends have boarded to carry out his mission. His plan is to kill every single passenger on the train. To do this, he uses his blood demon art to put everyone on the train into a deep sleep so he can easily slaughter them by turning their dreams into nightmares. Only Tanjiro and a few others manage to avoid falling into his trap through sheer willpower alone.

Epic Showdown on the Mugen Train

What follows is an intense battle as Tanjiro and his comrades try to defeat Enmu on the speeding train. Leading the fight is Tanjiro, who has now learned the Water Breathing technique and Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Pillar who quickly sees through Enmu's abilities. The two demon slayers push Enmu to his limits as he desperately tries to defeat them by attacking them mentally with nightmares.

Enmu is forced to separate from his human body to take on his true demon form. His head detaches and transforms into a giant grotesque monstrosity with trailing appendages. The final battle ultimately ends in victory for the demon slayers but also tragedy. Tanjiro awakens his mark and beheads Enmu, killing the demon. But Kyojuro sustains fatal injuries from protecting everyone from Enmu's attacks. He succumbs to his wounds shortly after the battle, leaving Tanjiro and everyone else devastated.

Funko Pop Immortalizes a Fan Favorite Character

The battle with Enmu on the Mugen Train stands out as one of the most memorable and pivotal battles in the entire Demon Slayer manga and anime. It represents a major victory for the demon slayers but also deals them a tragic loss. As one of the main driving forces behind those key events, Enmu cemented his status as an iconic character. Now Funko Pop is honoring the popular demon by making him one of their SDCC exclusives.

The Funko Pop Enmu figurine depicts him in his human form, wearing his Conductor's uniform from the train. It captures his sinister yet oddly friendly smile as well as the Kokushibou blade in his hand. The figurine measures approximately 3.75 inches tall and comes in a stylized window box packaging. It's a must have collectible for any Demon Slayer fan.

Where to Buy Funko Pop's SDCC Enmu

As a San Diego Comic Con exclusive, the Enmu figurine will first be available at SDCC 2022 in July. However, fans who can't make it to SDCC still have a chance to buy one. Retailers like Hot Topic and Box Lunch will be receiving limited quantities to sell after the event. So collectors should keep an eye out for announcements from these retailers if they want to buy one.

Having an iconic and pivotal character like Enmu join their SDCC exclusives demonstrates Funko Pop's recognition of just how popular Demon Slayer has become. And no doubt fans will be thrilled to be able to add this amazing figurine of the dream manipulating demon to their collections.

The Demon Slayer Funko Pop Line Continues to Impress

Over the past couple of years, Funko has released several exclusive Demon Slayer themed pops at San Diego Comic Con. Their first ones debuted at SDCC 2019 and included figurines of popular characters like Tanjiro and Nezuko. Every year since then, they've continued to add new Demon Slayer characters to their convention exclusives.

In 2021, they launched SDCC exclusive figurines of Demon Slayer Hashiras like Sanemi, Obanai, and Gyomei. Joining them was a six inch super sized pop of one of the main heroes - Zenitsu Agatsuma. Each of these sold out rapidly, highlighting the massive popularity of Demon Slayer pops.

Funko's Demon Slayer SDCC releases have also always included at least one major demon character. Previous villains added to the convention exclusive line include Hand Demon, Wisteria Demon, and Lower Moon One Rui. 2022's exclusive Enmu demon moon funko pop follows in that tradition. Collectors can now look forward to adding both heroes and villains from the series to their Funko shelf displays.

Demon Slayer Pops Offer Something for Every Fan

Aside from the SDCC exclusives, Funko produces a wide selection of regular release Demon Slayer pops as well. Almost every major character from the anime has received the Funko treatment by now. Fans can collect figurines of the core trio - Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Zenitsu. Or build up their collection of Hashiras including Giyu, Shinobu, and Kyojuro Rengoku.

For anime fans who tend to root for the villains, Funko has plenty of options too. All of the powerful Upper Moon demons have pops including Akaza, Doma, and Kokushibou. There's even a 6 inch jumbo sized pop of the overall Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji himself. It's clear that regardless of their favorite characters, Funko has something to offer every Demon Slayer fan.

High Quality and Attention to Detail

Aside from the wide selection, Funko's Demon Slayer line also stands out for its quality and attention to detail. The figurines accurately capture the characters' costumes, facial expressions, weapons, and other unique details from the series. For example, the Enmu figurine includes his elaborate conductor uniform and the Kokushibou sword.

The vibrant colors and craftsmanship of the pops also bring the anime's signature visual style to life. Fans will delight in seeing the characters translated so vividly into cute chibi style figurines. Each new release offers anime fans a chance to grow their Demon Slayer collections with pops that look gorgeous on display.

Demon Slayer Continues to Soar in Popularity

As one of the biggest anime phenomenons of recent years, Demon Slayer has built up a devoted fandom. Its manga sales have exceeded 150 million, making it one of the best selling manga of all time. The anime set new viewership records in Japan and overseas. It's become a multimedia franchise with video games, stage shows, and an upcoming sequel film.

Now halfway through 2022, Demon Slayer remains as popular as ever among anime fans around the world. Its memorable characters and breathtaking animation keep pulling in new viewers.
