Blind Bag Curse: Got the One Character I Didn't Want
43sViewers will cackle at the painful irony of pulling the exact character she prayed to avoid.
▶ Play Clip"Title is honest: it's a real unboxing, and the shocking part is pulling every unwanted demon in real time."
In this unboxing video, a Demon Slayer fan opens a package from the UFO Table official shop that she ordered five months earlier. She unboxes two guaranteed acrylic stands of Tanjiro and Giyu, then opens five blind bags from official-poster artwork. Her pulls turn out to be a surprising streak of demons — including the two characters she most wanted to avoid.
She ordered merch from the UFO Table official shop in September and the package finally arrived about five months later, in February.
She deliberately picked Tanjiro and Giyu acrylic stands rather than leaving them to chance, ensuring she'd get her two favorite characters.
She ordered four blind bags from a nine-character poster series, hoping to avoid Doma and Kaigaku, and one from a second series to save money on international shipping.
The first blind bag gave her Doma, one of the characters she explicitly didn't want — though she admitted it's pretty and it's her first Doma merch.
The second blind bag contained a sleeping Nezuko, which she called a win and described as ethereal.
She pulled Kaigaku, the other character she had hoped to avoid, but noted the acrylic stands are much larger than expected and his character design is cool.
The fourth blind bag contained Nakime, a character she described as "couldn't care less about"; she said this will likely be the only Nakime merch she ever owns.
The last blind bag gave her Akaza, her second-favorite demon, which made the set less disappointing; she reflected on the improbable outcome of pulling four demons.
This unboxing delivers exactly what the title promises: a live, genuine reaction to a five-month merch gamble. The "shocking" streak of pulling mostly unwanted demons makes for an entertaining and surprisingly relatable look at blind bag culture.

12:58[00:12] We're going to do a super quick different video than normal because I've been waiting on this package for about, what is that? 5 months? I ordered this in September and I've been really looking forward to getting this package.
[00:27] In fact, I got to the point where I was almost worried that my order got lost and I, of course, am referring to I ordered some stuff from the UFO table official shop and some of them are blind bags. So, what better way to enjoy my
[00:42] new merch than to open it with all of you. So, we're going to dive right in. do, don't forget to like this video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment your thoughts. If you're interested in more unboxing videos, let
[00:54] me know. I do buy anime [music] merch a lot. So, if you are like, "Oh my gosh, I love this type of video." let me know. But, let's do this. Don don don. Oh, they put it all into this like nice
[01:08] little bag so that it could make the trek across the sea without uh getting broken. So, there's a few blind ones here. There are a couple that I bought specifically because I wanted the characters and it
[01:21] wasn't a blind bag, but these are the blind bags. We'll do these in a moment Do you see my cat? She's about to chew on things. Let's go. Okay, so we're on things. Let's go. Okay, so we're going to start with these two that I
[01:34] know. I ordered them specifically because I wanted them. Yay! Okay, so Like I said, I ordered it back in September because that's when all of this stuff became available on their global shop. So, I got the Tanjiro
[01:50] acrylic stand, of course. I really like this one because most of the stuff with him in it, he always has like the same smile, but he's obviously like not only
[02:02] serious in this, he looks like actually kind of angry. of the reasons why he's my favorite character is because he's very kind to the people who deserves it, but he can get very, very angry and be like a
[02:17] I don't even know how to describe it. Like So, I was really excited when I saw this. It's pretty small. It's like a pretty small acrylic stand, but it'll go
[02:30] somewhere on display. That's what? Tanjiro item number >> 36. And then the next one, this should be no surprise to anyone that the ones that I picked that were like specifically not
[02:43] blind bags so I could pick the character were Tanjiro and Giyu. I love this pose on him because wow, look at him fixing his hair. Just he's perfect. Look at him. So, those are the two acrylic stands that I got that I
[02:59] ordered specifically these ones. But now we have 1 2 3 4 five blind ones. Okay. we have 1 2 3 4 five blind ones. Okay. So, these are all like characters from
[03:11] the official posters. So, to to make my chances better for the same characters I already got, I ordered four where the choices are Akaza, Douma, four where the choices are Akaza, Douma, Kaigaku, Kanao, Shinobu, Zenitsu, Giyu,
[03:26] Tanjiro, and Nezuko. So, you can't really see, but they're directly from one of the official posters. So, I got four of these because one I don't really want, I'll be honest, is Douma and Kaigaku. I I just don't
[03:43] really care for either one of them that much. They're not my faves. Um and then this one I only got one of because I needed to save some money. too much money because I live in America. So, you know,
[03:58] And shipping is already expensive. So, this one the options are Gyomei, Nakime, Kokushibo, Muzan Kibutsuji, Obanai, Sanemi, Yushiro, Muichiro, and Genya. I wanted to order a few of these because there are still
[04:12] plenty of characters on here that I would like to have, but I I needed to save the money because it's expensive to order things from >> It's just expensive to order things from other countries in general right now.
[04:27] So, and these are just acrylic stands. So, it's not even like they're like point in time where I was just like I I need to not go completely crazy and spend what I would spend on like multiple figures on acrylic stands. So,
[04:44] we're going to start since I have four of these, I'm going to start with one of these. This is kind of exciting. This is kind of exciting. Ooh, that's probably really loud.
[05:01] Okay. I just want anything but Doma and Kaigaku. Oh, this is Doma. This is >> [laughter] >> Okay, that's fine. You know, it's my first Doma merch. I
[05:13] It's not horrible. Like he is very pretty. know a lot of people love him. He's an interesting character. I think he um has though. My computer screen keeps changing cuz I
[05:27] keep bumping my mouse. So, I apologize for the weird lighting in this video. All right. Please. Please. I will be so sad if I don't get like Tanjiro or Giyu in this. I really
[05:41] want both of them. I already got Tanjiro and Giyu though. I went for the guarantee because you never know you never know with blind bags. Okay.
[05:53] Oh, I think this is Nezuko. Okay, this is fine. Nezuko is obviously I love her. Sorry, my computer screen is like ruining the reflection. like ruining the reflection. This is a really pretty one of her like
[06:07] she's asleep, but it's very like ethereal. Is that the right word? Okay, then I'm going to switch to the other one before we open the last one of these one before we open the last one of these because now I only have two left. Okay,
[06:22] you know, one of them was an L. I think I would really say getting Doma was an L, but that's okay. That's why like these are fun because it's going to wouldn't normally get. Like I don't own anything Doma. So, we'll we'll take that
[06:36] anything Doma. So, we'll we'll take that as a W with that. open. Okay. Here we go.
[07:00] Come on. >> [laughter] [gasps] >> It's Kaigaku.
[07:12] money on this and I'm getting characters Well, Nezuko I have lots of merch of cuz I love her. That that's the biggest win so far, but I shouldn't have said that I these were These were the only two that I was like
[07:25] I don't really want. That's okay. They're really like a lot larger than I They're really like a lot larger than I expected though. character design is pretty cool. But, is it frustrating that of all of
[07:41] these characters there's so many on here that I would want over these two and I got four and somehow I ended up with both of the ones because I have these. It's okay because I have these. If I don't get Tanjiro or
[07:56] Giyu, it's not the end of the world. I'm going back to Japan this year anyway. There'll probably be opportunity to buy these. Okay. I am going to open the other one now. Mostly because I just don't really have
[08:09] these characters. The only one, you know what? I almost feel like I shouldn't say it because I'm jinxing myself. There's only one character from this group that I don't particularly care for. Like the rest I all feel like Inosuke is
[08:22] definitely my favorite of the group, but the rest I all feel pretty like similarly for when it comes to owning merch of them.
[08:37] character I don't care for in hopes that they don't show up here. they don't show up here. Okay.
[08:50] >> [sighs] [snorts] This was the character. This was the character that I didn't want.
[09:06] I would never own Nakime merch. I would literally never see a Nakime figure and say I want to own that. So, I this is the only Nakime merch I will probably ever own. Like she's cool, I guess. Like she controls
[09:20] many characters in Demon Slayer that I care about and I love and there's even demons that I love. Like Kokushibo is my favorite and he was one of the options in this one, but this is what I end up
[09:32] in this one, but this is what I end up with. Like I swear And we still have one open. Watch it be a repeat of Kaigaku or Doma.
[09:46] These are three of the demons that outside of Gyokko and Hantengu, I just outside of Gyokko and Hantengu, I just don't care. I don't like them. I because this is actually really fun. It's
[10:00] actually crazy that this happened. This is the literal only way I will ever own is the literal only way I will ever own merch of these three demons because Doma is at least interesting and pretty. So, like there's a W with that. But, like
[10:14] Kaigaku I actually want to talk about because I find him very interesting, but I also hate him. Nakime I just couldn't care less about. Like there's just nothing about her to me that's like outside of the fact that she controls
[10:27] darn cool. She She's one of those characters in the show that was definitely just you can >> [laughter] >> You know what I mean? Like so many
[10:42] characters in Demon Slayer I think are so well done with such a limited time. so well done with such a limited time. Her just Yeah, she just I No. So, that's crazy. Okay, that's an L. But, that's fine. This is This is what
[10:55] happens when you order blind bags as you get to see in real time failure and disappointment. >> [clears throat] >> It's not a big deal. Okay. This is our last one. I'm just going to
[11:08] say it now. Please give me Tanjiro or Giyu. You know what? Actually, no. I already have Tanjiro and Giyu cuz I went for the Tanjiro and Giyu cuz I went for the guarantee. Give me
[11:23] So, I'd be fine with that. I don't have anything Akaza, so I'd be fine with anything Akaza, so I'd be fine with that. I do have Kanao and Shinobu merch, but not much. So, I Like I'm going to say give me one of them.
[11:36] If you're not going to give me Tanjiro or Giyu. I guess I'm just going to have to sell it or something. Okay. I'm scared. I'm so scared.
[11:51] This is not going my way. I should Okay. I waited 5 months to get a bunch characters that I don't care about.
[12:18] Nezuko like I constantly forget she's actually a demon because, you know, whatever. But, the way they're all demons. And if you've been following my channel
[12:30] for a while, I have been very vocal about the fact that I think the demons are super well-written and very interesting and a very interesting plot point how they're all like victims.
[12:43] And you can have the conversation of like are they redeemable? And there's a very nuanced way of writing them where you can argue that like they shouldn't be forgiven, but you can also argue that the story
[12:58] the way it offers a perspective of them like a lot of people will. I do love Akaza. He's my second favorite demon. And I was genuinely okay with getting him. Like this is this is fine. I really like him. I like his story. I
[13:11] anything of his. Mostly because when it comes to purchasing merch for a character, if I'm going to spend my money, I usually I'm going to stick with the characters that I genuinely love. Like I would call
[13:26] I genuinely love. Like I would call myself like a Tanjiro figure collector. Definitely Demon Slayer, yes, but very specifically Tanjiro related. What are the chances though? Like this is actually kind of crazy that they were
[13:41] is actually kind of crazy that they were just like here, have all of the demons Well, okay. Nezuko is technically my favorite demon. I don't count her. When someone's like, "Who's your favorite demon in Demon
[13:55] Slayer?" I automatically don't count her because she's just like an anomaly, right? Like she's just my fourth favorite character. Um Yeah, they literally they really just
[14:07] said, "Here, have four demons but not your favorite like demon demon."
[14:21] When is that? I ordered beginning of September, October, November, December, January, February. So, about 5 months for this.
[14:34] because they're cool. They're very cool. The artwork from this poster was cool, that's why I got specifically these. But I would be lying if I said this wasn't a let down a little bit.
[14:53] I'm never doing blind bags again. I'm kidding. Um okay. Well, that's that. I don't know what to say. I I really do want to say like, "Okay, I'm going to display these. I'm happy I have them." But it's really just like a a bunch of
[15:07] But it's really just like a a bunch of characters I don't care about. Except for Akaza. I do care about Akaza but not enough to want him over other but not enough to want him over other characters. So, this is a win.
[15:23] >> This was a guaranteed one. I'm so glad I decided to go for the guarantee. I almost just bought blind bags, which granted if I bought more, I might have gotten these two in the blind bag. But holy moly, this is crazy.
[15:38] What are the chances? And y'all got to watch me in real time crash out over watch me in real time crash out over getting all of the characters.
[15:51] with the characters that I care about. But like these guys, Doma's pretty. Kaigaku, I guess you can argue is
[16:05] her. So, that's fine. that's fine. I I I'm just yapping now because I don't I might I was rendered speechless by this.
[16:23] crashing out in real time. So, I hope you enjoyed the video. Um subscribe to channel, leave a comment your thoughts. I'll see you all in the your thoughts. I'll see you all in the next one. Bye.
