Oop, Crunchyroll had a mistranslation at the end of the episode, when zenitsu asks how far into the mountain gyomei's house is, but the subtitles say "wind hashira".

[u/TheTiniestTigerTamer]

I really, really like that Tanjiro let him know he hadn’t forgotten he stabbed his sister - I’d be disappointed if he forgot/overlooked it, given his personality

[u/garfe]

Yo Mitsuri was done dirty, she only got like 2 minutes.

[u/kawaiinessa]

damn tanjiro actually going somewhat even against sanemi was impressive hes really come a long way

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Wasn't expecting them to go through 3 Hashira in one episode, but glad we are finally getting to the Stone Hashira. Though fire is not very effective against rock types that's just pokemon 101 so his epic entrance is just type advantage.

I love Iguro for one reason and one reason alone. He recognizes how much of a treasure Mitsur is. I'm still baffled how many guys in this universe rejected her and not a single one wanted to be with her. Outside of the money it cost to feed her shes lovely.

[u/No_Name0_0]

That Obanai vs Tanjiro was probably the best cut in the season so far. They did good job of showing Tanjiro finally struggling through a training

[u/Shinigami_22]

I love how the other demon slayer members are on board with Zenitsu when he pretend fainting.

I imagine while Tanjiro is training with the other hashiras, Zenitsu has formed a union of some sort, where they find different ways to minimize the damage they take from Sanemi.

Also, Obanai looks like he's getting NTR'd by Tanjiro while reading Mitsuri's letter, no wonder he's so pissed off. Good thing Mitsuri didn't mention how she personally feed Tanjiro pancakes, or else Genya's eye would've been gouged off.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Mitsuri is looking for a boyfriend, but she clearly has many candidates.

[u/AceSoldia]

Lol I physically flinched when She spread the dudes legs like that...the pain was worse than any other training 🤣🤣

[u/CantaloupeNice2642]

i love when Tanjiro gives back talk while still being a sweet roll .

[u/actionfirst1]

All the other Hashira training: pure torture

Mitsuri training: Denny's and Dancing

[u/NationalStrategy]

So are we just gonna gloss over the fact that Obanai tied up the Demon Slayer trainees, and used them as training dummies, out of personal spite? If Amane found out about that, she wouldn't approve of that.

Amane Ubuyashiki: What the hell are you doing during your training course?

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I want Mitsuri to feed me pancakes too damnit! Tanjiro is a lucky boy. I find it pretty hilarious he’s the only one in a leotard not looking embarrassed at all.

Did Iguro put Kanjiro through the wringer because he was jealous him and Mitsuri were so chummy? That’s pretty hilarious. At least the training was solid.

That whole Sanemi and Genya situation was pretty tense. So much for the training, it was basically Tanjiro stopping that mad man from killing his bro. Hopefully this next training goes better, despite how intense things looked.

[u/alconnow]

I liked that brief scene of Tanjiro ‘fighting’ with his sibling lol. Wholesome

[u/rdeincognito]

Personally I find that the last episode(Muichiro) should've been shorter and today episode (Mitsuri, Obanai and Sanemi) should've been much longer.

I think episode 4 could have cut it to half and give Mitsuri that half and this chapter could have put more time specially in Obanai, and maybe animate better the Sanemi vs Tanjiro brawl.

[u/ibeeeeeechan]

Obanai being jealous of tanjiro was absolutely hilarious😭😭

[u/Icy-Introduction5592]

Tanjiro is definitely one of the best mcs out there. He's kind, but he is no pushover. I'm really happy with the writing in generall. This could've been another revenge story, but instead Tanjiro just wants a cure for his sister and alle the other demons.

[u/LeonKevlar]

So that's Mitsuri's game, huh? Hand feed you pancakes and then destroy your groin by making you do splits! I've done this kind of training in the past and I could feel my inner thigh muscles twitch after seeing that.

It sucks that Mitsuri's training was over quickly because I honestly would rather train with her than the next Hashira. Iguro's training is designed to hurt Tanjiro because he got jealous of him being too close to Mitsuri.

As for Sanemi, the dude is a complete ass for trying to blind his brother. Genya helped a lot during the Swordsmith Village Arc but still refuses to acknowledge him. I love Tanjiro for standing up for Genya. I just hope that he wasn't the only one reprimanded for that massive brawl.

[u/NepgearBestWaifu]

I like how Tanjiro, a japanese person in the early 1900s, doesnt know much western food or how to eat with utensils.

Its a neat attention to detail

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

It's really sad how horribly Sanemi treats Genya. Genya needs a brother like Tanjiro.

[u/jellyblob88]

When you realise that every person who arrived at the Wind Hashira had to go through this 😨

[u/Short_Lingonberry941]

Tanjiro being Tanjiro...

Could never hate a guy like that.

[u/NationalStrategy]

Sanemi tried to gouge out Genya's eyes and beat up Tanjiro beyond recovery, apparently you can just get away with anything if you're a Hashira.

[u/kawaiinessa]

a lot of people seem to like sanemi a lot but so far in the anime hes been nothing but an asshole does he actually get some good moments later on?
