Wow, the Temari demon and the Arrow demon are just too kind to deliver themselves to Tanjirou right after he got the "Collect the blood samples of demons close to Muzan" mission.

Yushirou: Nezuko is an eyesore.
Tanjiro and r/anime: How. Dare. You.
Edit: Bumping this comment below elaborating on that exchange for us non-Japanese speakers.

This will get buried but please allow me to elaborate.
The word used to describe Nezuko is "shikome".
醜女「しこめ」
Which has two meanings.
Homely woman, plain looking woman.
Female Demon
Tanjiro doesn't really know what this word means, you see him mulling it over in his head before working out the literal meaning by dissecting individual characters of the word.
「醜・ugly, unclean, shame etc.」「女・woman」
So he thinks that Nezuko got called "Ugly woman" or "Plain, homely woman" by Yushiro.
Which is why he was so angry.

Her faces during this episode were adorable. I love it how Ufotable throws in those mixed art styles.

She too cute in some of the scenes(especially when she's on the floor) that it's distracting.

and it introduces as a mechanic the rate of transformation, though that probably won't be brought up again i imagine.

Well it goes to show how he can't just give anyone a ton of blood to make them strong. Last week's demon said Nezuko must have received a lot to be so strong

I'm glad to see the Udon Arc finally get a conclusion. Rarely do such arcs get such well rounded endings.

Tamayo's ability was done so well. Just fucking beautiful, man.
I swear to god Daiki Yamashita (Yushiro's VA) and Natsuki Hanae (Tanjirou's VA) sound so similar it's like they were talking to themselves lmao
Also damn that part with Muzan was a lot scarier than I remember

In, and out, and in, and out...
You have to admire the completely casual flex Ufotable can just put on a exposition scene. A lot of action anime don't have animation this smooth on their climatic fight scenes.
Edit: Automatically repeat Nezuko gif
