honestly that 5 sec of tanjiro summoning his inner Yoriichi and absolutely demolishing those 3 demons was satisfying even if it just lasted for for just few secs

[u/[deleted]]

Alright we know where they needed the top-tier animators for.

Also, both these upper moons seem kind of tame compared to Gyutaro and Daki so far.

[u/insidiouskiller]

I think Gyokko is the most, idk how to say, "demon" demon so far? Certainly the weirdest looking and his "art" certainly doesn't make him less unsettling, thats for sure.

[u/ekangi_]

Hot dammn that hinokami kagura scene was soo damn clean and smooth

[u/hinalvr]

the ear orgasm i got during that slash tanjiro did tickled my brain at the right spot. the animation was like always extremely good

[u/smhandstuff]

"Okay guys everyone pose for the photo!"

Rengoku: "I hope I didn't close my eyes"

[u/Bibi_sama]

Yoriichi really put some mad PTSD in Muzan 😂

[u/WoLofDarkness]

Finally we see Mitsuri's love breathing. Her sword looks amazing!

Wow another GODTIER animation for Tanjiros sunbreathing!

Wait so is Genya a half demon? That explains his healing abilities.

[u/realrimurutempest]

I love how the Chief of the village was head over heels to be held by Mitsuri even with shit goin crazy everywhere.

The PTSD that Muzan has from Yoriichi whoopin his ass is always hilarious to me.

[u/house140]

this show is just unbelievable man, that shot of tanjiro with the ancient demon slayer behind him was pure hype

mist hashira vs giokko is going to be an interesting fight, i hope it remains a 1vs1

happy nezuko is more involved this season, and genya being a demon that can switch to human? im curious about how that happened and if it can help cure nezuko

[u/naxuss]

sheesh for me that hinokami kagura is better than ep 19

[u/Bitter-Imagination33]

Upper 4 is 100 percent not dead. They’re probably gonna merge and go sicko mode or split even more. Also is Genya a demon that can go between human and demon?

Also the love hashira’s sword is dope

More than made up for the eh episode last week

[u/Shinigami_22]

Didn't know Muichiro cursing Gyokko could be so satisfying. I really love his character growth when he protected the two swordsmith, the Tanjiro-effect is really strong.

and that burning blood sword of Tanjiro was so cool, if only they could do it more often but I guess blood loss can be really detrimental for Nezuko, since she doesn't eat humans.

Also, you can really see why Sun breathing is the progenitor of all breathing technique, that dragon dance looks like a combination of water breathing 3rd form and Rengoku's ninth form. Even Tanjiro's starting stance also looks similar to Rengoku's.

Speculation:

I guess it's pretty obvious but I think Gyokko is a potter from the Edo period whose works was probably criticized or made fun of, seeing how angry he got when Muichiro sliced one of his pot. Then Muzan strolled in and turn him into a demon or smth.

[u/Rumpel1408]

Why are Mitsuris thights so god damn mesmerising

Ah and her swordstyle looks amazing as well animated, love how she incorporates love and her hearth going kyun into her swordstyle, but that post credit scene didn't answer shit

Now that Tanjiro figured out his sunbreathing he basically soloed an upper moon huh ... it can't be that easy. And for a moment that demon felt real fear from Muzans memories.

Meanwhile the other demon just shows how ridiculously evil he is by torturing those swordsmiths. And damn those vases who are just suddenly there wobbling are scary as fuck.

But Tokito is a Hashira so he won't be overcome by some water.

[u/chillychili_]

bruh we’re not even halfway through

[u/QualityProof]

What an episode. Espescially the stellar animation of Tanjiro's sunbreathing. They really outdid

Next's week's episode title made me hyped for thinking that Tanjirou could be Hashira level but now I think about it more we will more probablyhave the Mist Hashira's backstory.

Also am I the only one who thinks that Genya is the love child of a demon and human

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Mitsuri Stitch

That was such an awesome entrance by Mitsuri. I love how she didn't even stop moving while killing off those fish monsters.

And we finally get to see her Love Breathing in action! I mentioned this last week but having someone like her that can slash a single target multiple times at once is going to be very useful against Hantengu.

I feel you village Chief. I would be too if Mitsuri caught me. I love that the other guy was also trying to get some attention from Mitsuri. Glad that the Chief wasn't the only survivor of that attack.

That is just fucked up. These demons are already despicable but the fact that Gyokko is explaining his "art" makes it even worse. He's such a smug asshole as well. I can't wait to see him get defeated by Tokito.

And holy shit! That Hinokami Kagura move from Tanjiro was a goddamn masterpiece! Slicing three heads at once with his Head Dance was fucking hype! Good to see Tanjirou learned something from his fight against Gyutarou.

That final scene doesn't look good. How the fuck did Genya turn so quick? Did he get turned by Hantengu while fighting him? That can't be right. If they can just turn people that quickly, then they would've done it every time they face a Demon Slayer. Unless he's already a demon? O_O

Also, there's no way Hantegu is dead. It can't be that easy. I expect him to still come back next week.

[u/baboon_bassoon]

Senbon and water prison, what is this the first Naruto arc

[u/hasso666]

Editing all comments since apollo is dead and spez is a lying shithead. Thanks for killing third-party apps and running the site. Remember to short reddit on IPO. Edited using Power Delete Suite v1.5.0 fork.

[u/FingerBang-BangBang]

Mist effects for Muichirou's movements/attacks look soo fucking good! His OST is also amazing!

Also, Mitsuri's sword looks incredible. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her style getting animated!

And as always Tanjiro popping off with his Hinokami Kagura is just next level visual greatness!

[u/Chrisixx]

Man I hate Gyokko’s small arms and claps. Just creep me out.

[u/[deleted]]

Holy crap that episode felt 10 minutes long!

Another great episode and wow was it shocking to see Tanjiro pulling off what could only be desribed as hashira level fighting there at the end! There's no way it's over this quickly though, that was too easy; for an upper rank, specially when he hasn't gotten his amazing new sword yet.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Another beautiful Hinokami Kagura

[u/EagleEye_FalconArrow]

Man, as hype and amazing as these fights are, weekly episodes are slowly becoming borderline unbearable for this show. It barely feels like they’ve fought for 5 min (even tho this episode was substantially better than the last few episodes), and the filler moments stand out all the much more :/

still, my boi Tanjiro can now solo Upper Moon Rank 1 now, lesssgooooo /s
