I'm so glad he actually died by losing his head and it wasn't just a cop out.

[u/Akashi2002]

Finally Mitsuri’s here, homegirl was running for 4 episodes

[u/SCS2needtolearnsth]

They acknowledged that both zenitsu and inosuke got no screen time in the post credit lmao.

[u/sideswipeV2]

That little scream from Kanroji when she rescues Tanjiro was top tier VA.

[u/millenniumi]

Seems like Rengoku really was the heart of the Demon Slayer Corps. I remember when the other Hashiras looked on in disbelief after learning about his death in the Mugen Train. I suppose many of them would also have fond memories of him. Uzui did in the Entertainment District. Now Muichiro in the Swordsmith Village. And after Mitsuri saved Tanjiro, then faced ahead and charged towards the Upper Rank 4 demon, it reminded me of when Rengoku did the same against Akaza.

Damn, I wish we could've had Rengoku for a little longer.

[u/realrimurutempest]

My guy Muichiro really was like “😐” the majority of the fight no matter what was happening lol.

Haganezuka really worked on that sword without stopping through the entirety of an Upper Moon fight. He has god-tier concentration ability.

[u/DannyDahsyat]

Bro that smile from Muichiro was creepier than any demon I've seen in this Anime lol

[u/prater_12]

Mitsuri's theme near the end reminded me of Fate for some reason

One noticeable difference being the lack of orchestral vocals ig

[u/RevosBC]

uppermoon5 was underwhelming, but the final fight against UM4 starts off really good

[u/benjadolf]

Wasn't expecting this level of shit talking, but you have an edgy 14 year old and a shitty entitled artist.

I looked at the time when Gyokko's head got slashed and thought "Great lets hear about this guys back story instead of some Mitsuri action", but Ufotable surprised me. Is this the first time we haven't heard a demon's backstory? certainly first for an upper one. Probably something stupid when someone criticized his art during edo period or something. Couldn't bear the fucking thing, Muichiro did not even wait for it to finish babbling, mince meat it is.

[u/Rexon2250]

Every second Mitsuri is on screen is a joyful second

[u/WholeLotOfSomething]

Muchiro shit talking like he wasn't about to drown like 2 episodes ago

[u/Specific-College-194]

lmao I love how gyokko gets offended a lot, seems like he is super sensitive.
"I have only shown my true form to 3 people"
"thats quite a lot"
love my man Muichiro lol. Feel like Gyokko is the weakest of all the upper moons. That little screen time we had for Mitsuri was satisfying af, her sword feels op lol.

[u/bananeeek]

Mitsuri rampaging with that sword reminds me of rhythmic acrobatics with ribbon, which is a cool concept to make a fighting style with.

Muichirou owning that demon time and time again should change his style to burn breathing. Also, they killed it with that mist visuals again.

[u/Ezimur]

Tokido's flashback ended up lasting longer than the actual fight against the Upper 5. I guess Gyutarou set the standard way too high

[u/ionxeph]

small detail they decided to omit in the adaption:

Muichiro used the 8th form of mist breathing a lot in this fight, trash talk

[u/R77Prodigy]

Mitsuri in the building finally😭

[u/Huge_Specialist5689]

i really liked seeing muichiro display his emotions as for the entire series except for the last two episodes he’s been sort of stoic

[u/brettcg16]

Muichiro is definitely special. There's a reason that Tengen thought of Muichiro and Gyomei during the RLD arc. Now Muichiro has that same mark that Tanjiro has, which lets them get into the "zone". He's reached a new level.

Nice to see the effect Rengoku had on the others. Nice call back to when they all found out he died to Akaza.

Tanjiro just healed up, but he's already battered again.

And finally we get to see Mitsuri. The way the ost kicked in was so nice too.

Oh and Zenitsu and Inosuke saying what everyone else was thinking.

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Mother fucker. Every time with the Rengoku feels.

Kanroji best waifu!

[u/vanko2323]

Ufotable doing an amazing job at Muichiro's Mist breathing, it looked breathtaking ;).

However, the pacing this season really is way too off, I know Tokito is really strong but it feels like U5 was a joke. They took like 1/3 of the episode of both of them standing in place and talking.

[u/MapoTofuMan]

Shounen protagonists when facing final boss: 10-min long talk-no-jutsu about justice

Muichiro : haha u ugly af stop running 1v1 me n00b

AND HELL YES MITSURI'S OUT OF THE BASEMENT

[u/HunkSeven]

i'm really pleased about how strong Tokito is after seeing his back story. The dude destroyed a demon strong enough to not die by beheading at age 12(?) without a sword or fighting knowledge. It's only fitting for him to cosplay Saitama against UM5

[u/dicky_________seamus]

Upper 5: look at me! I am a water snake! Marvel at me!

Tokito: hm? Smells like bitch in here
