The movie has already broken several records previously, from the insane ticket sales in Japan to the manga issues being sold worldwide. After breaking all these records with the pre-release on July 18, 2025, in Japan, Taiwan was the first country to get the international release last Friday.

Since Ufotable announced the anime movie, fan excitement has remained strong. To combat piracy from the Japanese pre-release, the studio is using separate release windows for different countries.
