The daunting working conditions of the anime-manga industry are public knowledge, yet leak culture persists. Many animators and mangaka work themselves to the point of exhaustion and this reflects heavily in their poor health and the absence of work-life balance. All these problems have been a hot topic in recent news. Finally, there’s a positive development that is reassuring for both fans and those integral to the industry.
The U.S. Court has ordered an issue regarding the disclosure of user information, particularly targeted at theDemon Slayerleak accounts. Not justDemon Slayer, butJujutsu Kaisenis also the central focus of the court order. The legal intervention is bound to send a strong message to those who engage in leaking and circulating anime spoilers and leaks before the official release.
U.S. Court Order onJujutsu KaisenandDemon SlayerLeak Accounts
Over the last few years, with the growing popularity of anime, spoilers, and leaks have become prevalent.The U.S. court orderwas in response to a petition filed by Aniplex Inc. and Toho Co. Ltd. The petition was filed back in June 2024, requesting information on certain leaker accounts on X. The court order was issued on August 10, 2025. These accounts were releasing stills and clips from the unreleased Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer episodes. The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) played a significant role by supporting the petition with strong evidence.

About 12 accounts were reported for the unauthorized release of anime content on X. The goal of the petition was to identify the users behind these accounts and levy heavy penalties on them for their illegal actions. These complaints are not limited toDemon SlayerandJujutsu Kaisen, but many popular anime are leaked prior to their official release. CODA is closely working with other distribution companies to curb the problem.
What about anime other thanJujutsu KaisenandDemon Slayer?
This court order mainly focuses on anime leaks, especiallyJujutsu KaisenandDemon Slayer. However, popular manga titles also suffer heavily from leak culture. Many X handles have gained prominence and fame for releasing spoilers. Some fans engage with these accounts and within a few minutes, the spoilers are all over the internet.
Even those who don’t engage with such accounts are propelled to look at the spoilers because of how commonplace this practice has become. Many famous mangaka have also addressed this issue. For instance,Oshi No KocreatorMengo Yokoyari asked fansto not engage with spoiler threads.

After all the effort and hard work that goes into creating a single chapter or episode, it’s quite saddening how some people can’t wait a little longer for the official release. With that, the US court order is a hopeful development. It is likely to create a ripple in the existing ecosystem, by acting as a warning for those who participate in these practices.
BothJujutsu KaisenandDemon Slayerare available to stream legally on Crunchyroll.
