, chanting 'Don't move.' Regarding the improved quality of the theatrical version, he said, 'It's said to be just as interesting as 'Demon Slayer: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train,' so if you went to see Demon Slayer, you should definitely go see Roboco to see if that's true.' When you hear that, it's hard not to be concerned.

Director Heitaro Daichi commented, 'It's been a while since I last made a movie, so I'm really excited. Roboco is super cute, he's cool, and it's going to be a hilarious movie. There are elements here and there that seem like you've seen them somewhere before. We'll keep you waiting a little while, but please look forward to it.'

The series has been serialized for four years, so there is a lot of original material and the characters are well-defined, but what exactly will the movie version be about?
