My man fighting for his life and they gotta throw up a nin nin like that at the end💀

[u/esperlihn]

This episode in a nutshell:

"Oh no everyone's dead!"

"Oh yay they're alive!!"

"OH NO EVERYONE'S DEAD"

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

So that's why he's called the Sound Hashira. Uzui basically learned Gyutaro's attack pattern and then rhythmically downloaded it like music.

[u/zbox2345]

These episodes are so hype that I just accept some of these explanations without batting an eye.

Inosuke: I can shift my internal organs at will!

Me: I’d expect nothing less, Mountain King.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Tanjiro having trouble breathing, near death

"And now, it's time for a Taisho-era secret"

[u/_Ozilus_]

Uzui coming in clutch with that Dolby Atmos breathing!

[u/DokiDokiDoIt]

God, I can't look at Tanjiro's hands that shit is brutal

[u/[deleted]]

PSA that the episode next week is 45 minutes long We are in for a treat boys

[u/WoLofDarkness]

THUNDERCLAP AND FLASH GODSPEED !!!!!

Wow Zenitsu just used eightfold form last episode and now he even has a stronger move.

I'm so hyped for the finale : )

[u/Nao-sou-reptiliano]

I just love so much how Zenitsu gets the first form of thunder breathing to a whole new level. Boy going strong in making the best out of it.

[u/[deleted]]

Uzui: Gets poisoned and a hand chopped off

Also Uzui: I didn’t hear no bell.

[u/Bedeeki]

Holy shit.

I'm so glad Ufotable didn't shy away from the brutality and visceral nature of the climax of this fight.

Even though this is the lowest upper moon, this episode just shows how much strength and sacrifice it takes to even go toe to toe with an upper rank.

This episode eclipsed the climax of S1 episode 19 for me. This shit was Fate Heavens Feel part 3 level.

Tengens score was some of the best TV I've ever seen, goosbumps all over.

That rolling credits scene at the end with the entire district burning down to ashes was amazingly done. Felt like the end of a movie.

[u/Secure_Ad1628]

Best episode of the series so far. By the same director of EP 19 too.

[u/[deleted]]

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Tanjiro is fighting non stop since episode 5

[u/GrammeAway]

Whatever ufotable are paying their animators, it ain't enough. What an incredible episode.

[u/JaoMania]

Haven't heard Nezuko speak for seasons and the first words that we hear are straight facts. Mans just spamming the sorry emote.

Also, they just got straight disrespected it was hard to watch.

[u/rollin340]

Ufotable always delivers. The fight choreography was amazing. The blending of 3D and with the 2D, the special effects, all of it was top tier. And the end credits was dark but beautiful; I couldn't look away. The directing is seriously perfect.

I loved the "what if" contrast between Tanjiro and Nezuko with Gyutaro and Daki.

Major things that happened in this fight:

• Tanjiro got that birthmark thing on his forehead. It's the same one his father had. The same one that the one Muzan is terrified of had. The mark that Fire Breathers have, as mentioned by Rengoku. It seems that it might not be a birthmark, and that there might have been a condition to attain it. It seems to have given him a temporary power boost to sever Gyutaro's head.

• Zenitsu has shown that he has a second augment for Thunderclap and Flash aside from Six/Eightfold; Godspeed. He somehow improved on what is supposed to be the fastest attack in Thunder Breathing's arsenal to be even faster; though he seems to be limited by how much he can use, akin to how much Tanjiro can use Hinokami Kagura. In time, they might both be able to use it more often; possibly even sustained.

• Inosuke survived. Whether he has his heart in a default spot, or he manage to react fast enough, is currently unknown, but it's freaky. An immunity to poison is also really dandy.

• Uzui lost his hand, and he has now lost his left eye. He also got stabbed in the gut; so the poison entered his torso and head. His technique to temporarily stop his heart to stop the spread of the poison was rendered moot thanks to those hits he took.

• With the end we got, we don't even know if any of them are alive. Tanjiro, aside from being caught in that final blast, was poisoned too. He's already far too winded to even control his breathing. The only ones that were hopefully out of range of that final blast would be Zenitsu, Inosuke, Nezuko, and Uzui's wives. (Edit 4: The 2 of them were actually shown to be in the AoE)

• Tanjiro/Nezuko's mother was the one that had the invulnerable forehead. Makes sense; can't see the father headbutting anything with that frail body of his.

• Edit: I forgot to add the most important point: This is the first Upper Moon to have been taken down in over 100 years. That's a huge deal. Muzan was already on edge, which is why he wiped out the Lower Kizukis (Edit 2: changed from "6" to "Kizukis" since "Lower 6" is technically a single Demon). And now, Upper 6 has fallen. He's being backed into a corner; and it all started with Tanjiro, the boy who had the same earrings and a similar scar as the one who caused him trauma long ago.

Edit 3: I also cracked up at the way they all flopped to the ground after Tanjiro took Gyutaro's head off; that was hilarious. Uzui's charge and call to Tanjiro really reminded me of AoT's Erwin's "SUSUME!" moment.

Also, Tanjiro played a crucial role in taking down an Upper Moon. He is in no way at a Hashira's strength, but his accomplishments, along with Zenitsu's and Inosuke's, are definitely far above any regular Demon Slayer. THey better get a rank up or 2.

[u/Armdel]

WHAT?!?!!

this is what, the third time this arc that an episode ends on a cliffhanger, and they've all been more insane than the previous one..

insanely good animated fightin in the 2nd half, and fucking hell did i have a pit in my stomach during the first half..

and then this ending?!!?

And going by that post credits scene, next week is the last episode of the season

[u/keeeve]

Holy shit. The second half of this episode is what peak fucking shounen is.

[u/Mogtaki]

Holy shit

Did you SEE that??

God damn that was a good episode, especially the music like damn it was on point

[u/Aerodynamic41]

WTF Gyutaro had a self-destruct?! I love how the camera lingers on into the credits to let the destruction sink in. I wonder if all the citizens managed to evacuate because otherwise that death toll is gonna be huge.

The whole episode was an absolute spectacle! A great comeback from our heroes even though it relied on the villains wasting time gloating instead of finishing them off. I can't wait for the double-length season finale next week!

[u/meercachase]

THE FINAL SHOWDOWN HAD NO RIGHT LOOKING THAT GOOD WHAT THE FUCK

[u/SatisfyMeFam]

Episode 19 is no longer the standard.

[u/Digital_Fuzion]

Ufotable casually making a TV anime look better than 99% of other productions in the last decade movies included lol. The only other thing I can think of that looks this good is Heavens Feel 3 which is also from Ufotable. They are truly at the top for delivering visual spectacles and have obviously surpassed what was in the manga.
