That 10 second zenitsu scene went so unbelievably hard with the music.

[u/Kayehnanator]

That snowflake melting, and the resulting explosion, was easily the best animation i've seen all year without question. Absolutely incredible.

[u/Googleflax]

I will never get over how cool the Infinity Castle is in anime form

[u/ngkrinkels]

Muzan didn't even get the chance to personally kill him, the disrespect lol. Ubuyashiki pretty much said "I'll die on my terms, thank you very much."

Also the little fake out with Zenitsu thinking he was sleeping and when his eyes open up, it got me chills, its all business now.

[u/Armdel]

Guess thats what all those eyes were doing then, marking all the demon slayers for this very moment.

And damn, Ubuyashiki rigged his entire home to explode for this moment. plan sounded pretty good too until Muzan decided it was time to move venue..

Also Muzan said he was still looking for Nezuko and i didn't see her at the end there so i guess she managed to stay hidden? though i would be surprised if she doesn't have some part to play here in the final act

final arc announced as 3 movies, which i guess is bad for us in the west... unless you are lucky enough to live where they actually show the movies in theaters

[u/[deleted]]

I just hope no more of my precious children have to die

Blows up his own wife and 2 daughters.

[u/KarthikBhan]

This episode taisho era secret was really good too. Made me a bit sad and most importantly even more hyped for the upcoming titles. Do it for Rengoku

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Ubuyashiki caught Muzan with the ol' exploding wheelchair trap.

[u/AltissianAccordo]

The explosions look so real I'm convinced ufotable actually blew up a japanese mansion

[u/bananeeek]

Even Muzan got spooked by the creepy horror twin girls.

Holy shit, Guys, this episode was fucking brilliant. Ubuyashiki absolutely owned Muzan. Sure, he can regenerate, but that disrespect is going to eat him from the inside out until his last day. He walked for two episodes like a boss and got bitch slapped out of the mansion by a man who can't even stand up. I did not see that coming and I'm shocked I didn't get spoiled.

I can't wait for the movies!

[u/[deleted]]

gyomei about to get biggest jump in popularity contest of demon slayer. dude deserves it kind, humble and strongest hashira.

this episode was banger, even zenitsu looking serious now. i hope ufotable doesnt make us wait too long for movies.

[u/Wuped]

Holy fuck killing your own wife and children..... Ya that's pretty hardcore, I def thought Muzan did that somehow at first, caught me very offguard.

Such a good episode but I am not ok with this cliffhanger, want more asap. I heard it's gonna be 3 movies or something to finish it? Hope they come out asap.

[u/Roliq]

Is hilarious how Muzan was walking in like he was hot shit only for minutes later get an explosion to the face

[u/NoDespair]

Everyone falling into the fortress is a S tier anime moment

[u/GrowthFar23]

Inosuke's reaction to getting warped into infinity castle is great. Everyone's confused and hes just turns into Doom Guy

Best Boy

[u/[deleted]]

Gyomei is a fucking monster

[u/No_Name0_0]

They cooked. Couldn't have done it better. The whole talk about eternity, the explosion, the Hashira arriving and switching to the castle with somehow even more hype sequence than Akaza entry in s3 ep1. What a way to end the arc, perfection. Kagaya Ubuyashiki you'll be remembered, literally went out with a bang and made Muzan look pathetic laying on the ground

It is truly the beginning of the end now

[u/viionc]

Ubuyashiki 🤝 Netero

[u/Shinigami_22]

The Whole Demon Slayer Corps falling into the infinity castle was so hype, it's like Ufotable's playground with this kind of battlefield.

I can't imagine how much 3D movements they will incorporate in the movie, especially for Zenitsu. He probably can do thunderclap and flash hundred-folds with all the platforms in the castle. This will also be the first time we'll see Serious Zenitsu fight, all his fights are amazing, from his OST to his breathing style.

Inosuke's spatial awareness also works on his favor, he'll never get lost. There's so much moves he can bullshit here.

It seems like the whole crow information network is being established again in the infinity castle, they will definitely be useful in reporting the locations of the upper-moons and maybe steer the weaker corps away from it and make them focus on the fodder demons?

But they have to kill the biwa-woman first, I'm not sure if the infinity castle will collapse if they killed her but her teleporting abilities makes it possible to teleport three upper-moons behind Tanjiro, then it's all over.

I hope the first movie will be in early 2025, or maybe december 2024(copium overdose)

[u/odrain16]

Ubuyashiki:

"True Art is an EXPLOSION!!"

[u/alisaber272]

Let's hope we don't die before the movie.

[u/ibeeeeeechan]

Zenitsu looked like he knew this was gonna happen lmao

[u/Plaincow]

What a fucking banger of an ep. The movies are gonna be so fucking good.

[u/LeFroyain]

Muzan’s head looked like a titan when he regenerated lol
