The short answer
Keep your demo save for the Kubi Akari charm. The PS5 listing says demo progress does not transfer into the full game.
What the demo save unlocks
The store lists Kubi Akari as a saved-data reward and explains that equipped charms strengthen Musashi. It does not describe a separate permanent stat award.
Kingy recommendation: retain the demo save until you have checked the reward in your full game. These sources do not establish a completion requirement, a prelaunch deadline for the demo reward, or cross-platform eligibility. We have not tested redemption.

What changed after the June demo
The August 25 PS5 announcement adds playable areas and Daidara. The older July notice about an update with no new content does not describe this later expansion.
The inspected PS5 store still lists a free demo. Check your own region and platform; this is not a tested availability matrix.

If the charm is missing
Kingy has no verified repair or claim-menu sequence. Preserve the save and check your platform's current bonus instructions before changing or deleting saved data. Demo content and full-game progression may differ.
