3. Hashira – Physique: Experience the sheer power of the Hashira through life-sized displays and a captivating exhibit showcasing meticulously crafted replicas of their Nichirin Blade hilts. Marvel at the details and craftsmanship, and imagine wielding these iconic weapons yourself.

4. Hashira – Words: Listen to inspiring quotes and memorable lines spoken by the Hashira through audio content accessible via your Hashira card. From words of wisdom to moments of levity, experience the full range of their personalities.

5. Hashira – Expressions: Surround yourself with over 1,000 original drawings capturing the diverse emotions of the Hashira. Each artwork provides a window into their inner world, allowing you to connect with their struggles and triumphs.

6. Hashira – Dynamism: Witness the Hashira in motion! This dynamic, three-dimensional exhibit utilizes a series of original action drawings to create the illusion of the Hashira moving freely throughout the space, making you feel like you’re right there in the midst of the action.

7. And to the Infinity Castle: Prepare for a breathtaking sensory experience! Utilizing cutting-edge technology, this exhibit recreates the dramatic fall from the Ubuyashiki Mansion to the Infinity Castle, complete with projections, 3D sound, floor vibrations, and even wind effects. Step through this portal and find yourself transported to the formidable Infinity Castle itself.

After your journey through the exhibition, don’t miss the museum shop, stocked with approximately 200 exclusive items, including a key visual newly illustrated by ufotable and the "Hashira Hyakkei" series.
