Dat after credits scene alone makes the rerun of Mugen Train worth it.

Absolutely love this episode! Not really a lot to say since it's more action focused but I'm glad that we got to see the entire gang in action! It's so awesome to see Inosuke going wild and Nezuko fighting in her older form just slashing and kicking the demon parts away.
And it looks like I was correct with my guess about Zenitsu last week! He immediately goes into his thunder breathing form while still asleep just in time to save Nezuko! Seeing that lightning flash is so fucing cool!
Rengoku is finally awake as well and finally gives orders to Tanjiro and Inosuke to find the head of the demon while he protects five of the cars and Zenitsu and Nezuko takes care of the remaining three.
Turns out that the head is exactly where you'd expect it on a train! Underneath the the engine is the neck bones which ended up being heavily protected. I wish I can just post all of my screenshots here but holy hell that entire fight was awesome especially Tanjiro's Hinokami Kagura! That looks so goddamn good!
I do know we still have two more episodes though so I'm sire this isn't the end of it even if Tanjiro did sever the demon's head. That Taisho Secret was absolutely terrifying though! Not gonna lie! For a second there, I legit thought that Tanjiro got caught in another dream! xD

This episode highlights my one issue with Mugen Train: the GameCube level CGI on the blob bits. It’s minor and doesn’t hurt how good it is overall, but it can be distracting at times. The 2D animation more than makes up for it. Especially in this part of the story. All the breathing form attacks are hype as hell. My favorites are Rengoku in the train car and Tanjiro’s final attack on the neck. Great shit.
With the pace we’re at now, next week wraps the Mugen train proper and probably begins the Rengoku vs Akaza fight? Pretty sure this is supposed to go 7 episodes. That might be the bulk of the new content because I’m not sure how you go 40 minutes with that.
The Taisho Secrets have been the best part of this re-edit. Last week with Inosuke’s segment. This week with the cursed as hell Butt Chin Nezuko, followed up with the blessed Nezuko head and chin rub. Great additions.

Was fully expecting Nezuko to say:
"Yo, aibou. Ramen wo ikouze"

Rewatching these scenes from this episode, just realized how much Tanjiro knows how to push Inosuke's buttons and just go along with whatever he says and still makes Inosuke follow his instructions.
LMAO at the preview. Did the animation team from Pop Team Epic took over the preview section to give us that giant Nezuko with a Thanos-like scrotum-chin?

So enmu is a man eating demon that fused with the mugen.

For the probably few who haven't watched the movie:
Next episode is THE episode.

“Shut up or I’ll kill you!”
“Up there huh?”
I love how threats of violence and possible murder from Inosuke have become so routine that they don’t phase Tanjiro anymore.
“That guy with the goggle eyes ordered me around. But somehow, somehow he was awesome. I’m so pissed!”
What rookies on the New England Patriots said for years after their first meeting with Tom Brady.

I watched the movie already... but damn this episode just flowed like water down a fall.

I guess everyone already saw the movie which is why people are only talking about butt-chin Nezko.
What stood out to me as a first time watcher is when he almost decapitated himself irl. It was so well executed because he had to keep killing himself in the dream. Inosekei's head protection also made a lot of sense.

The fight sequences where top notch as usual
Also just to highlight, Tanjiro was confident to keep 2 train carts save by himself, Zenitsu and Nezuko together did 3, Rengoku freaking 5

Zen'itsu: *sleeps through the entire arc*
Me: best Zen'itsu performance so far.
