On April 9th, ANA concluded the operations of its Boeing 777-200ER special design aircraft, ‘Demon Slayer Jet-Part Three’ (aircraft registration: JA745A). At Haneda Airport, both aviation and show fans crowded the observation deck to catch a final glimpse of the Demon Slayer Jet.
The Demon Slayer Jet-Part Three, which collaborated with the TV anime ‘Demon Slayer’, began domestic flights on October 3, 2022. The aircraft was painted entirely in white and featured dynamic portrayals of characters Tanjiro Kamado, Kyojuro Rengoku, and Tengen Uzui from the anime. The illustrations were specially created by the anime production company ‘ufotable’, with 111 decals on the left side, 96 on the right side, and two on the engine section. The design matched the overall paint job, with the vertical stabilizer painted in white with ANA lettering in blue, similar to the Airbus A380.
Custom-designed headrest covers and cabin attendant aprons were prepared. The headrest covers featured motifs of the kimono and haori patterns worn by Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira, while the apron was designed after Shinobu Kocho, including illustrations of butterfly pattern hair ornaments.
From March 31 to April 7, the flight schedule was fixed, making daily round trips between Tokyo/Haneda and Fukuoka, Osaka/Itami, and Sapporo/New Chitose. On April 7, the day before the final flight, it also made a round trip each on the same routes. On the last day, April 8, it operated on the Tokyo/Haneda to Okinawa/Naha line NH463/462/479 flights, and Tokyo/Haneda to Sapporo/Chitose line NH69/74 flights.
The final flight was NH479 from Tokyo/Haneda to Okinawa/Naha. Due to a delay in the previous flight directed by air traffic control, NH479 departed from spot 66 at Haneda Airport 26 minutes behind the scheduled time of 8:00 p.m., at 8:26 p.m. As the pushback began, many fans gathered on the observation deck waved towards the aircraft and took photos and videos.
NH479 was expected to arrive at Naha Airport at 10:40 p.m. According to ANA, after arrival, it will be docked at the MRO Japan aircraft maintenance facility within the airport for a paint job change as the Demon Slayer Jet concludes its operation.
A total of three Demon Slayer Jets were introduced, with ‘Part One’ (Boeing 767-300ER, aircraft registration: JA616A) starting operations on January 31, 2022, and ‘Part Two’ (same model, aircraft registration: JA608A) on March 26, 2022. ‘Part One’ finished its service on October 21, 2023, and ‘Part Two’ on March 25 of the same year, both returning to regular designs.
Additionally, three Bombardier DHC8-Q400 ‘Demon Slayer Prop’ aircraft (aircraft registration: JA846A, JA844A, JA850A), which began appearing sequentially from July 14, 2023, are expected to continue operations in the future.
