Demon Slayer stickers, patches and pins

A laptop covered in chibis, a denim jacket dotted with pins, a backpack where Tanjiro’s gaze grips on beside Zenitsu’s: these are the little objects that tell other fans you are one of them. They cost little, can be collected and swapped, and turn any everyday item into a piece of the series.

This guide reviews the range’s stickers, patches and pins: formats, fixing, characters, prices, and the best way to apply them so they last. Our other buying tips are on the shop’s guides and tips page, and our Demon Slayer merchandise guide presents every range.

Sticker, patch or pin: which to choose?

It all depends on the surface. A sticker goes on a smooth, hard surface, laptop, notebook, water bottle, suitcase. A patch attaches to fabric, bag, cap, jacket. A pin goes into thick fabric or a strap, and can be moved whenever you like.

The three ranges are gathered in the Demon Slayer stickers collection, the Demon Slayer patches collection and the Demon Slayer pins collection.

The big sticker packs

To cover a laptop or a suitcase, the packs are unbeatable. The sheet of die-cut chibis, at €17.90, brings together some sixty big-headed characters, edged with a white border: Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu and Inosuke meet the Hashira, but also the demons, Muzan under his white hat, Akaza, Kokushibo and his six eyes, and even Nakime behind her biwa. In chibi form, even the demons look almost harmless.

The pack of 100 or 200 assorted stickers, at €14.90 or €19.90, mixes characters, fight scenes, masks, logos and Japanese characters, including a lone 滅, the one all slayers wear on their backs. A hundred for a laptop or a notebook, two hundred to cover a suitcase, a bike helmet or a skateboard in a tight mosaic. The black and white pack, of 10 or 65 pieces, takes up the manga’s line work: portraits, group scenes, humorous panels and the characters’ names in calligraphy.

The two rolls of 500 stickers, at €19.90, peel off one by one from their strip: one lines up ten fight scenes in the colour of each breathing style, the other square chibi portraits, from Tanjiro to Yoriichi. Perfect for decorating exercise books, signing cards or rewarding children: one sticker per finished piece of homework, and the roll lasts the whole school year. Our page on all the Demon Slayer breathing styles explains each one’s colours.

Single stickers

For a single character in full view, four stickers are sold singly, from €12.90. The holographic sticker, cut out as a bust of 10.6 to 13 cm, changes colour with the light: Nezuko behind her muzzle, Tanjiro marked on the forehead, Inosuke with his face uncovered, Rengoku with his mouth full, Muichiro, Zenitsu with white eyes, Shinobu smiling, Sanemi covered in scars.

The torn-effect sticker, on transparent film, reveals a Hashira in a gash, the face cut by a blade engraved with 悪鬼滅殺, the Hashira’s inscription. Nine Hashira to choose from, each in their colour. Our article on the Akki Messatsu inscription explains these four characters.

The bank card-sized sticker, rounded corners included, leaves the chip clear thanks to a square cut-out. Eight designs: Akaza in a field of pink flowers, Obanai and his serpent, Tanjiro turned demon in the rain, Nezuko in front of a red moon, an eye streaked with blue where Tanjiro is reflected, Zenitsu with sword drawn or launched in a golden flash, and a lone silhouette on a snowy night. Finally, the resin stickers, from €24.90 to €39.90, cover each design with a domed transparent drop: two sheets of about twenty chibis, pink with a large Tanjiro or blue with Nezuko winking, presented on a hanging card, ready to give. The two sheets together cost less than two separate purchases, and their relief can be felt under the fingers once applied to a case or a notebook.

Hook-and-loop patches

The patches sold singly are not sewn on: their hook backing presses onto any loop surface, a bag strap, a cap, the sleeve of a tactical jacket. A piece of loop fabric is supplied for smooth surfaces. The patch comes off and goes back on as often as you like, and is removed before washing the garment, with no needle or iron. On a hiking backpack, a gilet or a cap already fitted with loop strips, it goes straight on, and moves from one bag to another as the days go by.

Four printed patches, at €17.90, frame a simple eye strip, 9 × 3.3 cm, edged with black overlocking: Tanjiro’s red eyes under his reddish locks, Nezuko’s as a demon, pink irises split by a vertical pupil, Rengoku’s almost white eyes rimmed with red lashes like flames, Inosuke’s green eyes with his face uncovered. No name, no logo: only fans recognise the gaze.

Four embroidered patches, at €19.90, in 11 × 4 cm, do the same in thread: Inosuke’s boar mask on a sky blue background, Zenitsu’s golden gaze on an olive green background, Nezuko above her bamboo muzzle on a black background, Tanjiro and the red mark on his forehead on a blue background. The set of nineteen embroidered patches, at €19.90, cut to the outline of chibi characters of 5 to 8.5 cm, lets you make up a whole jacket back, from the pile of the four friends asleep to Sabito and his fox mask.

Enamelled metal pins

The pins are enamelled metal with cloisonné-style outlines: the colours stay bold, with no print to fade. A pin on the back and its clutch are enough to fix them to a garment or a bag. They are sold singly or in sets, and the set often wins with collectors. On a denim jacket, five or six pins are enough to make a readable arrangement; beyond that, group them by camp or by colour to keep things harmonious.

The twelve chibi busts, from 2.3 to 3.3 cm, the size of a coin, cost €14.90 each or €54.90 for the complete set: Tanjiro and his scar, Nezuko and her bamboo, Zenitsu, Tomioka, Muichiro, Mitsuri and her braids, Rengoku in his mane, Tengen and his jewelled headband, Obanai and his serpent, Kanao, Yoriichi with his red markings, and a chibi with cat ears. The eight full-length chibis, of about 3.2 cm, can be taken singly or in a set of eight, and two other sets of eight, seated and ringed with gold or standing and outlined in black, cost from €29.90 to €39.90.

For fans of fight scenes, the set of six action pins, at €29.90, each captures a movement: Tanjiro drawing his sword, Nezuko with her hand raised, Tomioka drawing his blade over his shoulder, Shinobu on a butterfly wing, Zenitsu with his eyes lowered to his hilt, Akaza with his palm outstretched. The same ones exist singly at €12.90. The set of five Nichirin blades, at €17.90, shows the swords without their bearers, 6.5 cm high: a blade in a wave, another crossed by lightning, a pale purple one surrounded by butterflies, a red one in flames, and two jagged blades crossed in an X. The pale purple blade is Shinobu’s, fine as a needle to inject her poison, the two jagged blades Inosuke’s, which he chipped himself on a stone. Our article on the colours of Nichirin swords tells of each one’s blade.

Which character for which surface?

Each surface calls for a style. On a laptop lid, the holographic or torn-effect stickers make a centrepiece, surrounded by small chibis. On a water bottle or a lunch box, the resin chibis stand up better to handling. On a school notebook, the manga’s black and white goes anywhere, even in class. On a suitcase, on the other hand, go for the mosaic of two hundred stickers: it can be spotted at first glance on the airport baggage carousel.

For a school bag, an eye patch grips onto the strap and gets noticed without overdoing it: Tanjiro’s red eyes, Zenitsu’s golden gaze. For a denim jacket, the action pins tell a scene, Tanjiro drawing his sword on one side, Akaza holding out his palm on the other. And for a cap, an embroidered patch placed nice and straight on the front is enough.

If you have a favourite character, follow them from one surface to another. Tanjiro exists on almost everything, and the complete Tanjiro Kamado collection brings together his range. Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke and Rengoku also have their patches, stickers and pins: the complete Nezuko Kamado collection, the complete Zenitsu Agatsuma collection and the complete Inosuke Hashibira collection gather them.

The demons have their stickers too

The opposing camp is not forgotten in the Demon Slayer range. On the chibi sheet, Muzan wears his white hat from the Asakusa street, Akaza shows his blue lines, Kokushibo his six eyes, and Nakime stands behind her biwa, her hair over her face. With one note of this instrument, the Infinity Castle demon opens doors and moves entire rooms: without ever fighting, she holds the whole castle.

Akaza comes back on the bank card-sized sticker, standing in a field of pink flowers, and on the action pins, his palm outstretched and his face streaked with blue. For a fan who prefers villains with a story, it is a good way in: Akaza was a man, Hakuji, before Muzan made him a demon.

The demons are gathered in the demons collection, and our page on Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki tells who they are.

Where and how to apply them?

For a sticker, first clean the surface, then dry it: the slightest trace of grease prevents adhesion. Apply it starting from one edge and smoothing towards the other, to push out the bubbles. On a laptop, avoid the vents and the underside of the device, which get hot. On a water bottle, choose the part that does not go under hot water at every wash.

For the patches, stick the supplied loop piece onto a smooth surface, or sew it onto a canvas bag if you want a fixed spot: after that, the patch can be swapped in a second depending on your mood. For the pins, push them into thick fabric, a denim jacket, a bag strap, a coat lapel, and leave a little space between them so they work together without knocking against each other.

On a denim jacket, arrange before pinning: lay the pins flat on the jacket, move them around, take a photo, then fix them. The die-cut embroidered patches are placed edge to edge to form a continuous scene. Our guide to Demon Slayer jackets and the one on backpacks and luggage suggest surfaces.

Collecting, swapping, giving

Pins and stickers are naturally collectible. Complete sets let you have a whole series at once, and doubles are swapped between friends, in the playground or at conventions. A pin or a patch slipped into an envelope also makes a small gift that travels well. To display a pin collection, a cork board or a strip of felt hung on the wall lets you show them off without damaging them, and the gift ideas selection suggests other objects for a fan who already has everything.

For a child, the chibi sheets and the sticker rolls are perfect: cheap, plentiful and easy to share. A birthday party with a dozen guests is sorted with a single roll of 500: everyone leaves with a handful of their favourite characters. Keep the pins, whose points are sharp, for older children. For a teenager, the eye patches and action pins hook onto a school bag without looking childish. For an adult, the Nichirin blade pins and the Demon Slayer manga black and white stickers stay discreet, and even go on a work satchel.

To make up a complete gift, pair a sticker pack, a patch and a pin of the same character, in a pouch. Our Demon Slayer gift guide by budget and the selection of gifts under €20 gather other ideas. Our page on all the Demon Slayer characters helps you identify those featured on the sheets.

Care and lifespan

Stickers hold up well day to day, but not to the dishwasher or the repeated rubbing of a sponge: on a water bottle or a lunch box, wash by hand around the sticker. The resin ones are protected from rubbing by their domed drop, ideal on a case handled all day long.

Remove the patches before washing a garment, and put them back in the same place afterwards. Remove the pins too before a wash, and store them flat in a box, so the enamel does not scratch against the others. Check from time to time that the clutch is holding firm: it is what keeps the pin in place. On a bag often put down on the floor, prefer the inside of a flap, protected from knocks.

To remove a sticker without leaving a mark, a blast from a hairdryer softens the glue, and a cloth with a little household alcohol removes the rest on a hard surface.

Budget and delivery
