The film inaugurated the Mugen Castle trilogy on a grand scale, being shown in 452 cinemas in Japan — a number higher than Mugen Train (2020), which grossed approximately 404 billion yen and became the biggest success in the history of Japanese cinema. In its first weekend alone, the new chapter registered 55.2 billion yen and attracted 3.84 million viewers, surpassing the initial records of Mugen Train .

Furthermore, in just eight days of release, the film had already surpassed 100 billion yen, reaching 220 billion in 25 days. Thus, the work confirms the power of the franchise, which continues as one of the biggest phenomena in Japanese entertainment. The official premiere in Brazilian cinemas will take place on September 11, 2025.
