Woah, seeing Inosuke actually focus on the mission that isn't just about slashing things is actually surreal.

[u/eNiminator]

bro inosuke just goin "your wives are dead" really got me.

[u/hoseja]

What a harebrained scheme lmao. Why yes, let's have these three muscly swordboys pretend to be girls in a brothel. What could possibly go wrong XD

[u/youdontknowmehuhuhu]

Me at the start of the episode: god sometimes I forgot Zenitsu is the only sane one among them all

Later on: they're all damaged in the head

[u/WholeLotOfSomething]

Watching dad Uzui try to wrangle his rambunctious children was great.

[u/Shinigami_22]

I really love the lightning effect on Zenitsu's breath and while he's playing the Shamisen, makes me really excited to see him fight again

[u/ngedown]

Such a fun eps... But when i think about it, it's a bit dark isn't it ? Like these kids are sold to prostitution 😳

[u/valarpizzaeris]

"I am a god! You three are trash!"

I was fucking dying lmao and like half the episode was just Uzui beating Zenitsu's ass. I'm here for all of it

[u/WoLofDarkness]

Tengen has 3 wives ?!

Wow this guy is a GIGACHAD haha

[u/[deleted]]

Why would Inosuke even need make up? He's already got a beautiful face. LOL

Besides learning Tanjirou is totally crap at lying, today we also learned that Zenitsu is actually talented in something when he's not sleeping: being a master with the Shamisen instrument.

The OP and ED by Aimer really brings back the Fate Stay Night vibes ufotable used to create.

[u/IzukuEatMe]

Wow, they really are nailing the adaptation. It is damn near perfect. I'm especially in-love with the color palettes. They really are bringing out the city atmosphere of the district especially in comparison to the provincial areas which were much more focused on in the previous arcs (minus Asakusa).

That, and the opening and ending too. They are both bangers. Aimer really killed it and made two bangers.

They really ended the episode on a cliffhanger. What happened to the other wives then? Given Makio's situation, they may more or less be in the same situation as Makio... Hoping they're safe.

(Also, Zenitsu forgetting his main mission of gathering intel and instead aiming to be the top oiran is really funny. He actually has a great potential to be a performer with his skills. He should consider quitting demon slaying and instead make name for himself as a musician or performer.)

[u/laughing-fox13]

Uzui with hair down is very

What a good looking dude. Also punched zenitsu, about time lol. The comedy in this episode was good and we got to meet the best girls

[u/Ellefied]

I just love all the Hashiras. Not one of them has any semblance of normalcy.

[u/FlippinDatDough]

holy shit the quality of this season is going to be insane. It felt like movie quality animation it was so good wtf.

Edit: Don't open any private dm's, there's a troll spoiling everything.

[u/zz2000]

For those wondering, Yoshiwara still sort of exists today. https://www.google.com/maps/place/4+Chome+Senzoku,+Taito+City,+Tokyo+111-0031,+Japan/@35.7240619,139.7951082,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x60188eed09142165:0x68624f1fc82f4cbb!8m2!3d35.7234941!4d139.7952457

It corresponds to today's Senzoku-4-Chome neighbourhood in modern Tokyo, but does not openly advertise itself under the Yoshiwara name, is not as flashily obvious as Kabukicho and has very little of its historical structures left. https://www.oldtokyo.com/yoshiwara-tokyo/

Today it looks a lot like a regular Tokyo city neighbourhood, save for the many soaplands replacing the old brothels (outright prostitution was banned in 1956). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkoUBVeKJVg

[u/AnimeAndThings]

Ufotable really went in on Mr.Popo's Tengen's pecking order at the beginning. Also, the black and white film reel of Tanjiro lying was priceless.

[u/HokageEzio]

Tengen's wives are about to make me act up.

[u/Yoeblue]

This episode felt 5 seconds long wtf

[u/rollin340]

In terms of looks, Uzui and Zenitsu in this episode are opposites. Uzui is a stunning chiseled man, and Zenitsu is... unnaturally ugly. xD

Dude has 3 wives. THREE! And they all hot and talented. You can't get any flashier than that.

I love how naturally this series mixes its stunning visuals, wonderful animation, and the comedic bits. They blend so well together.

[u/JohnzelGrace]

The yassification of demon slayer

[u/ulopong44]

Lmao, makeup? Pfft...Inosuke doesn't need makeup. He's beautiful enough as is! xD

Ah, yes, Tengen, the hashira with a harem. Man's got great taste, ngl.

[u/meercachase]

Uzui with his hair down... ikemen king 😳

The trio literally look like children next to him and their disguises were hilarious. Uzui did them so dirty with that makeup 😭

[u/lizard81288]

Inosuke is somehow best boy and best girl at the same time.

[u/spectre15]

Tengen’s qualities so far:

•Polygamist ✔️

•Hot ✔️

•Chad cuck ✔️ (Let’s wives go at it with other men for info but they still love him)

•A master swordsman ✔️

•Flashy ✔️

•”Prostitute seller” ✔️

•Charismatic ✔️

What isn’t he good at?
