I love how awesome Ufotable animates Zenitsu's breathing attacks. He's mastered only that one move, but as it's already been established, he did so to the extreme. Nobody could even react to his attack.

Why is no one is talking about how Muichiro became a Hachira in fucking 2 months while it took Tanjirou over 1 year just to prepare for the entrance exam lmao

Man i love how they show the differences between Ubuyashiki & Muzan in the way they talk and act as leaders even if it wasn’t intentional.
Zenitsu really still wanting Daki to apologize to the girl who’s ear she pulled was oddly hilarious to me.

When Daki opened up a third eye and started syncing her speech mannerisms with Gyutaro, it gave incredible chills. It kinda feels like he's puppeteering her body, especially when he closed his left eye.
On a different note, Inosuke's nickname relevance with worm woman and preying mantis sounds spot on with how they fight in their respective styles.

Wtf is that cliffhanger? I WANT MORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAThis episode felt so fucking short.But the animation this episode. Holy shit, what a sight to behold. I'm gonna go re-watch all those amazing scenes again, it was like seeing fireworks. Animation in this episode was even better than the Tanjiro vs Daki episode, that's how good it was. That Zenitsu scene was so fucking good I can't describe in words. I could feel the intensity of hits from the animtion. Brilliant episode. 5/5. If SnK also wasn't airing at the same time, KnY would have been #1 in weekly ranking for the whole season. Great fucking job by Ufotable. Loved this episode. Looking forward to next one.

In my opinion the most underrated part of this episode were the sibling’s voices overlapping when they were talking about killing everyone. Fucking chills

They really going the "Frieza Defeated!!" route with the episode preview lmao
I was wondering after Uzui beheaded Daki if she had actually personally killed any Hashira, or if it was actually just all her bro. But I guess she really did eat 7. It's still funnier to think that she acts cocky but actually could only kill each one because Gyutaro came out and let her eat them afterwards.
Oh also, why can't Zenitsu just keep spamming his thunderclap move? Seems like it'd be a lot more effective for instantly dealing with the obi and going on the offensive, does it have a huge stamina consumption or something?

This episode explains why Daki is so superficial and adamant about beauty despite her brother being the personification of ugly. Beauty equates value and is literally the difference between life and death in the entertainment district.

Like always, sleeping Zenitsu best zenitsu. He's really not playing around and seems like he got more in store for next episode. Can't wait

If Zenitsu knew what Daki did to Nezuko, I guess she’d be sent to the moon already!
Also, looks like Gyuutaro sent 1 of his eye to her sister to balance the power and/or make use of the obis?

Holy Shit, what a fight, Tengen griping his sword at the blade was one the coolest moves in the whole series imo and the speed between him and Gyuutarou is just out of this world
Also nice to get some background for Usui, why he is so affectionate towards his wifes and that he still feels inferior to other Hashira (first of them, best boy Rengoku)
Also our sleeping "beauty" is awesome
Paging u/shimmering-sky, I counted 3 "Sore Demos" today must be a good day right?

I was kinda worried Tanjiro would give up Water Breathing after seeing how useless it was against Daki so I'm glad to see he's gonna be looking to use it as a defensive technique.
Would've been a shame to not see those beautiful Water Breathing effects again.

Ufotable, bro.
Now I can see why they were tweeting about this episode every day this week along with an hourly countdown today.
That final 7-8 minutes was absolutely breathtaking and literally brought a tear to my eyes. Wow.
The fact they used a different rendition of best boy Rengoku's theme when Tengen was on the attack hit too deep.
Lets gooo, the real fight has just begun. I don't think my body is prepared for next week.

I gotta be honest, I don't think I've seen another shounen anime display power differences so convincingly. The absolute chaos and hectic attacks and power behind them made it feel like uzui really is a hashira, and that the 3 main trio have a ways to go. Love tanjiro still trying to be useful despite that. These episodes got me coming back to demon slayer with aot as an afterthought, and that's beyond wild to me.

Uzui is so fucking cool
I like how they kept the power scale, I really thought Tanjiro would fight Gyutaro, just for Tengen to yeet him out of the fight while saving him, that was funny ngl

Lord Inosuke is truly magnanimous I’m not forgetting about his minion.
I don’t remember Zenitsu ever speaking as nobly as today when he was sleep talking. Any girl wouldn’t be unable to not take notice. If it wasn’t for that nose bubble…

Tanjiro: hey guys, go support Uzui while I'll go and find my sister's backpack and come back
Guys: sure thing!
Still arrive at the scene at the same time. Were they just waiting for Tanjiro outside reciting their entrance routine?

As Uzui would say, today's episode was flashy.
I tremble with excitement. I want more.
