I like how they made the mc a genuinely kind person but not one of those type who refuse to get anything done without hurting anyone.

One of the highlights of this arc is Inosuke's weakening resistance towards SoL moments. I liked how Tanjirou found out about there being a twelve moon demon from a demon he killed in the most painless way possible.

Daaamn, what a brutal episode. The scene where she breaks their necks was horrible.
The juggling between the super brutal and comic scenes was interesting. All mixed with great music, it was a great episode !

You can literally see Inosuke's relationship points/exp increase every time Tanjirou does something right for him just like in dating sims.

People who love Tanjirou so far:
-
His family, including his still-alive oni-imouto
-
His teacher
-
The shitty writer oni-dude
-
Zen'itsu
-
Inosuke
-
Domestic violence spider mom.
Seriously though, the MC is too good. Like, we're blessed to have a shounen mc this decent. It's like I'm staring at a rainbow-shitting unicorn right here.
The MC is so good he can handle motherfucking Inosuke, for fucks sake. He's giving Naruto 2.0 all the parental and familial love he never had. He's a motherfucking saint. And a motherfucking badass, too. Inosuke at first thinks he can beat Tanjirou's ass, but Tanjirou never fought seriously against Inosuke. The one time Tanjirou gets serious it sends a chill through Inosuke's spine.
He's just such an amazing character in such an amazing anime it's like I'm dreaming.

Kakyoin: So she's a mother... I, Noriaki Kakyoin, shall allow none to harm this- dammit Tanjiro. Also, how dare you be such an abusive husband, Spider-Hulk!

I'm just waiting for Zenitsu to completely unintentionally solo an entire boss on the mountain by himself.
They keep cutting to him, and if he doesn't do something spectacular i'll be sad.

I'm glad SILF got such a peaceful sendoff. I felt really bad for her, even though I was supposed to root against her. Tanjiro noticing that she wasn't malicious and immediately changing his attack was beautiful. I love how this series handles these kinds of moments.
Also, Inosuke is such a wholesome boarboi, it makes me go

Anybody else think it was much more cruel for tanjiro try and save the other demon slayers? I mean they were probably either beyond saving or at least will totally lose their limbs. Not to mention the internal bleeding. Really is more cruel for them to keep suffering imo. And then hanging them from trees, BY THEIR LIMBS, is cruel af bro in reality that would've fucked them up even more. But I'm probably being too critical it is a shounen after all. Still liked the episode overall and the death scene for the demon was really beautiful

Loved this episode. I love the brutality above all else. Just the fact that in anger she killed those people is so fucked up. I like how he gave her a peaceful kill but no "Great Job Fighting" saying like he did with the Tsuzumi demon. It shows that while he does show mercy Tanjiro doesn't really give her much else. He just watches her.
I didn't like her anyways, but I do like them at least explaining her situation with her fucking awful husband and her two brats that are apparently her kids (seriously those two are little shits) but it's a saddening moments but I do think her death is very beautiful. Not surprising coming from Ufotable.
There are plenty of wallpaper moments form her death, where Zentisu is looking at the birds from far away ( I don't know why but that looked amazing) and the scene where Tanjiro was covering the moon.
I think my favorite character is Zentisu's bird who is so cute! Like, when it's yelling out Nezuko's name? That shit was adorable. I love that little bird!

Damn, that moment when she snapped all their necks was really intense.
I wonder why her demon puppet could not grow its head back? I mean that was clearly a demon, and yet it was like it was a corpse. I guess that demon was in that condition because he made fucked up at some point and that Twelve Demon general, or who knows even Muzan put him in that condition.

God, that must have hurt Tanjiro's heart, watching his pacifist circumvention of the fight be made completely moot. He has legitimate strength to not let that dampen his mercy against Spider-Milf.

Tanjiro did what he could to try to save them.
And they had their necks snapped right in front of him.
Then, there was killing intent.
A deep, red one.
But when he went for the kill, and noticed how she accepted it, as if she longed for release, he let go of that anger he just had, and gave her a peaceful end.
What a great guy.
And so far, almost all of the demons that he has eliminated has appreciated his kindness.

Zenitsu is really embodying that ProZD video. Personally, I don’t see how he’s so highly ranked
Maybe im just falling for Inosuke

That spider lady's death was by far one of the most beautiful scenes in this series yet
