Gintama: The Final impresses in its opening week to see 52,024 worth of copies sold! The Limited Edition tops the list on both the Anime Blu-ray and DVD charts followed by Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie: Mugen Ressha-hen. The film adapts the final chapters of the Manga, which theatrical release began back in January 2021. The Manga which it was adapted from started in 2003 by Hideaki Sorachi and finally came to an end in June 2019. The series has so far amassed 55 million copies in circulation and prior to the film has inspired several OVAs plus TV Anime seasons. Viz Media has published 23 of its volumes in the west, however it remains to be seen whether the rest would follow since publication seems to have been stalled. If you have missed out on the film, do have a look at its promotional video down below:
It is thanks to the amazing folks over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).
The week’s list also features a number of new releases including the 2nd volume of Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final at Number 4. Note that this would be the last volume for its Blu-ray release for the season. Number of copies sold for Volume 2 however, is down 5.05% from Volume 1’s 2,652 copies back in July. Its DVD sales places 10th for the week, but sales continue to disappoint.
Next at Number 5 on the Blu-ray list is Tokyo Revengers Volume 3. The 3rd volume is comprised of episodes 9 to 12, which completes the first cour of the ongoing Anime series. Copies sold for the title are on a upward trend as Volume 3 records yet another increase debut-to-debut by 15.75% over Volume 2’s 3,616 (both Blu-ray and DVD) copies in its first week. Its subsequent volumes are set to release in the first weeks of September and October.

Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun final volume settles for the 10th spot, though sales have not been so well for the series. Note that the cutoff for the Top 20 Blu-ray sold in Japan belongs to Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (TV) Season 2‘s 2nd volume which sold 917 copies for the week. Therefore, Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun would have sold much lower than that. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
