With an urgent call from the Medicine Seller, the new trailer for "Mononoke: The Movie – Chapter 3: The Snake Goddess" (Japanese original title: "劇場版モノノ怪 第三章 蛇神") begins: "Tell me, what is the most important thing... the true identity of the Snake Goddess!" The video, released on Thursday, also offers a glimpse into the childhood of Tenshi and Mizorogi Hokuto, who prove to be close friends. An innocent scene in which they share a "secret" underscores this.
As the trailer progresses, the atmosphere grows increasingly darker when the Medicine Seller exclaims: "The Snake Goddess reveals herself!" New footage shows the mysterious Tenkyoku, who is closely linked to the creation of the imperial harem (Ōoku), as well as the first hints of a fierce battle between the Medicine Seller and the titular Snake Goddess.
"Mononoke: The Movie – Chapter 3: The Snake Goddess" concludes the film trilogy that began in 2024 with the first installment. After two supernatural incidents in the Ōoku, a new murder case shakes the women's quarters: a court lady is brutally murdered. The Medicine Seller confronts the Mononoke, which embodies the negative history of the harem, and finds himself in an unprecedented, hopeless situation.
The film opens in Japanese theaters on May 29, 2026.
