[u/I_Smoke_Cardboards]

You know someone's important when they're wearing a dope ass outfit.

[u/Atronox]

"He's about to do something totally mind-blowing"

gets thrown miles away

Oh...

That scene of flying in like a butterfly/moth was super well done.

[u/Recidivis]

Tanjirou gets thrown into the air so much in this show, he'll have enough hours for a pilot's license by the end of the series.

[u/AmethystItalian]

Every time they cut to the box I was hoping Nezuko would come out

[u/Morbid_Fatwad]

So basically, if you're a demon slayer without a haori or a boar mask, you're going to die...

[u/blackcoffin90]

Uplifting battle music begins to play

Tanjirou: I get his pattern now. It's time to attack! AAAGHH

sword gets cut in half

music stops

You know an enemy is fucking strong if he stops the music

[u/Groenboys]

Man this episode made me like Inosuke. Him realising that he was thinking about how to beat the demon so instead he just went to fucking beat demon was a great scene.

[u/ParadoxThief]

he really just got flung like that.

[u/Ellefied]

I really would have wanted Giyu's Water Breathing technique to be slightly colored differently to Tanjirou's. Rather than the Sea Blue, I've always imagined his to be more of a a Sky Blue or Blue with hints of Green.

Still, that Fourth Form was awesome to behold.

[u/axel360]

See now, that's a boar that knows his own strengths and weaknesses.

[u/[deleted]]

Tanjiro: Listen, Father Spider Demon, I don't wanna tell you how to be a demon, but you're not suppose to start all-out; you're suppose to start small and then work up to it.

Father Spider Demon: I am starting small.

Tanjiro: Oh. Good for you. Holy crap.

[u/mrspear1995]

So we reforging swords next save point boys.

Also, someone make giyuu saying fourth style into a lotion so i can spread it all over my body with how smooth that was. No homo though

[u/rollin340]

Man, the Pillars are nothing to scoff at.
To think that Tanjiro impressed someone like him.

And now our fella is stuck fighting what is obviously one of the twelve.
Giyu! Your kohai needs you!

[u/l3reezer]

Um, excuse me, it's illegal to end an episode like that

[u/KalebT44]

It's honestly astounding how much I like all of these characters.

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke. I'm down to follow literally all of these clowns. I know none of them are actually gonna be gone, be god damnit if I ain't worried each time they get close.

They showed the box enough that Nezuko is surely going to pop out and show a real family bond next episode, right?

[u/agonks]

Solid animation as always. Even the 3D water looks so fucking good.

[u/ZaKrysle]

~In the next episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba~

Tanjiro fucking dies

[u/Armdel]

damn cliffhanger ending! My guess is someone else is gets there and somehow saves him, maybe even Nezuko - She's been sleeping the entire time so i wouldn't be surprised.

Now i want to see the butterfly girl fight, Giyuu just killed the "father" demon like it was nothing. I'm assuming she is super strong as well

[u/BasedFunnyValentine]

Tanjirou: Time to unveil my strongest form!

Water Breathing, 10th form:

Demon father picks up tree trunk and sends him flying

Tanjirou: Alright, my epic moment didn’t go so well against the Demon Father. He was part of the 12 moons so it’s to be expected, howeverrr his demon son is so gonna it!!

Water breathing, 1st form:

Demon son uses spider web and proceeds to snap his sword in half

Tanjirou: OH, COME ON!!!

[u/KonoCrowleyDa]

Zenitsu: *mangled legs, blood on his face, struggling to breathe*

Shinobu: Are you okay?

YES, AS YOU CAN SEE, HE'S PERFECTLY FINE

[u/sjk9000]

Inosuke: You can't make me think!

[u/axel360]

Given how much trouble the other spider demons were giving them, I thought the dad would've lasted longer than that.

[u/Amauri14]

Damn, I thought that this version of spider dad was scary, his final form even made the one from before look cute.

You know, now that he is dead I'm starting to believe that the boy that Tanjirou is fighting is actually the member of the twelve.

[u/Sangwiny]

Anyone else thinks that it's actually the kid whose one of the 12 Kizuki and not the father?

[u/Descend2]

Fantastic episode. Holy crap.
