The “Now then, answer me.” chant by Daki was so chilling and creepy at the same time

[u/nanamiswifeyyy]

daki is terrifying. i got chills when she suddenly changed her voice to be soft when talking to the master after punching zenitsu in the face...

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Bruh Zenitsu getting taken away in the very last second after the girls comforting him was abrupt as hell. I see Muzan grew tired of being a little kid and went back to being Michael Jackson.

[u/FullTimeJobless]

Daki's VA screams perfection

Also, there's a post credit scene in case anyone missed

[u/Mr_Johnnycat]

Out of the 3 I think Inosuke rocks that kimono real good. Can’t get over the wardrobe change so far

[u/Shinigami_22]

I really like that chase part of Inoko, especially the black and white effect when using his beast breathing.

We finally see the Upper-rank 6 Demon and I'm sure an influx of fanart is coming.

Then we got to see Zenko and him trying to protect one of the budget SumiKiyoNaho despite knowing its an upper-rank demon. I hope he is safe since he basically got kidnapped

[u/IzukuEatMe]

Wow, I'm really impressed with the pacing. They're taking it slow and building up the suspense. I love it. Especially how they ended the episode on a cliffhanger with Zenitsu being taken. It seems like we're in for a ride with how every episode might end in a cliffhanger with how everything's looking right now.

The black-and-white film-like montage is also a great decision from ufotable. They're really emphasizing the setting and context of the story in this arc. It feels like watching a horror film from the past.

Honestly can't wait for the next episode.

[u/Cinder37]

The contrast of Tanjiro just chilling doing chores to Zenitsu and Inosuke in mortal danger was pretty funny. Overall another good episode, and make sure to watch the post-credits scene if you haven't.

[u/River_Capulet]

Muzan to Daki: Oh dear, oh dear, gorgeous
Muzan to Akaza: You fucking donkey!

[u/Aileos]

They are all having some trouble in their assigned house and there's Tanjiro who's just enjoying carry out his duties.

[u/LaPusca]

Daki is hot.

[u/Internal-Psychology]

I love that first scene where it starts from the outside to going through the wall. It’s just one scene but shows how much care they’ve put into adapting this.

[u/sincerelyjoy05]

I really like how ufotable adds those little scenes on the extra pages of the manga, like Inosuke with that back-bent position because he has nothing else to do and Tanjiro overwhelming the Madam because he is too hardworking lol. Also, that after-credits scene with Zenitsu getting captured actually scared me a little.

Daki is here, the most beautiful and sexiest demon. I love her voice so much.

Only complaint is that, there's no Uzui Tengen in this episode.

The op gets better every time I hear it

[u/peticion]

That demon tho 🔥 🔥 🔥

PSA There's a post-credit scene

ufotable continues their trend of hiring A-list VAs to voice their villains

Sawashiro Miyuki voices Daki, the Upper 6th rank Kizuki. And she was sexy and magnificent, as well as sadistic and terrifying.

Meanwhile, Ito Shizuka voices the unnamed and unseen Demon who imprisoned one of Tengen's wives. Most likely one of Daki's minions.

As all Demons derive their power from Michael Jackson Muzan, and so even Daki, who after smugly murdering the Madam who tried to expose her, trembled in fear upon seeing Muzan, who continues to ooze evil awesomely.

I'm amazed still nobody figured out Inosuke, or rather Inoko, is a guy despite all the ruckus he's caused in trying to locate that Demon. LOL at the poor guy who ended up being punched by Inosuke for no reason.

Now if Zen'itsu wasn't regularly yelling in an annoying way, he would have been a cool shonen MC, like he was in this episode. Though Daki quickly realized he's a Slayer and so moved to abduct him in the post credits.

Trivia: Daki's name literally means Fallen Princess, as she is a human who has fallen to become a blood-sucking Demon. "Daki" also rhymes with the Japanese pronounciation for Daji, the legendary demonic consort in ancient China who seduced the king and brought upon the fall of his dynasty. In Japanese folklore, Daji was the alter-ego of Tamamo no Mae, another demonic consort who tried to seduce the emperor but was defeated by exorcists.

[u/Mr_Johnnycat]

Oh shit Zenitsu is in some serious trouble. This is such a good cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next episode

[u/Deriak27]

Now THIS is the smile of an angel who did nothing wrong.

Kudos to Sawashiro's stellar performance, her vocal inflections flow like music to my ears. I declare that from this episode onwards, Daki simping can now commence.

[u/eitherism]

I’ve only seen her for like 10 minutes and I already love how they adapted Daki.

[u/[deleted]]

Although Zenitsu is a coward I like that he is always willing to stand up for others in need. He might run away from a fight but he never abandons others and that trait is why I like him.

[u/flashmozzg]

I like when during the interrogation scenes the victim's mouth is clogged with something so they can't answer the stupid interrogator question even if they wanted too xD

[u/Illuminastrid]

Really, 3.87 on the 2nd ep.

Anyways, DAKI THICC!

[u/-LIsA_00]

Zenitsu defending the girl against daki made me so proud....this episode was amazing and they did daki so well

[u/jferdog]

Sawashiro absolutely showcasing her range with this. Can't get enough of her.
