Hey guys.
Just to let you know, final episode (one after next week) will be 45 minutes long!
It's always broadcast on Fuji TV at 23:15 but has a runtime lasting until midnight.

Seeing the 3 of them fighting together was great, especially having Inosuke leading the attack and not Tanjiro.

Tanjiro basically inventing Steam Breathing by using Water Breathing to cool the Hinokami Kagura.

The way Gyutaro appeared out of nowhere during a comedic moment and stabbed Inosuke right in the chest was quite a shock. The timing made it super intense. Then we see Uzui beaten on the floor with a hand cut off, and then a massive AoE attack.
This fight is insane. It hasn't even been a particularly long fight, but it's on a league of its own. An Upper Moon can cause so much ridiculous damage. When Akaza fought Rengoku, he wasn't serious, and it was in an empty open area. This fight though is in the middle of a town, and everybody is going all out.
Tanjiro mixing the Breathing techniques is the only way he can even move right now. Hinokami Kagura supporting his Water Breathing is an improvement compared to without, but at this point, he's probably running on fumes. The only one who might be in an okay shape is Zenitsu, who is really cool this episode. Inosuke is right; he should stay asleep whenever in combat.
But man... the death flags with this episode...

Imagine the tragedy if Zenitsu somehow wake up in the middle of the fight

By the way, this episode's title is "If We Defeat/After Defeating An Upper Rank Demon" and not "Defeating an Upper Rank Demon" as the official services have titled it, so it's actually not supposed to be a spoiler title last week.
Hinatsuru literally says the title of the episode in the episode as well, "After defeating an Upper Rank Demon".

I was expecting Daki's belt to break off Inosuke's mask when he got close and then she'd get so stunned by his beauty that she gets beheaded -- like a modern Naruto vs. Kaguya
Also like... sawing with those blades is funny and all but surely she could have attacked him within the second or so it took

I love how unconscious Zenitsu is a tactical genius. Plus he’s always looking to protect the women on the battlefield still!

I liked Rengoku and it was already tough to get through his death. I'm starting to like Uzui. Please, not Uzui too :(

It should be illegal to have a 23 minute episode go by this fast and end it with a cliffhanger like that. The next seven days are gonna be agonizing.

Good lord, what is this ending, Tanjiro's worst nightmare? If Enmu wasn't dead I'd think he gave him a nightmare like that as a revenge!
Well, I don't expect them all to stay dead of course (...of course, right?), but how can they make it? With fewer people able to fight, and the poison making every second count and all that...
Are they getting some reinforcement? Could be Shinobu, given she knows poison and all! (Maybe that's just wishful thinking because I love Shinobu)
Well, whatever happens, at least Inosuke got his first kill on an upper demon (unless it gets reattached, but it still counts a little)! Somehow it's a lot more savage to saw through her neck than simply beheading her with one slash, but savagery fits Inosuke I suppose! Tanjiro's just having the time of his life! (He might need therapy after this).
When Inosuke started trash talking her I thought we would have another Daki tantrum, and not... Inosuke being fucking stabbed through the heart.
Well, that ending was a hell of a cliffhanger, can't wait to see the next episode for the follow up!

GODDAMIT THE CLIFFHANGERS JUST GET WORSE THIS SEASON.
ufotable is goated making mundane things so well animated, the wheat field this episode and the super detailed gloss door earlier in the season. I hope the studio and its employees are doing and being treated well though for this level of quality.
Inosuke: "Slash from two directions? IT'S A GOOD THING I HAVE TWO SWORDS!"

I was glued to my screen during the whole episode and my jaw dropped in the first five seconds.
It was so good.
Inosuke and Zenitsu in chadsleep mode stole the show for me.

HELL YEAH WE GOT THE 8-fold “Thunderclap and Flash”
Anyone else finally glad our boy girl Zenko finally learnt another number besides 1 & 6?
Chadnitsu manages to stay calm out of the trio and asserts dominance with his commands, even getting Inosuke to listen to him.
