| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm so after that battle, only four of them made it alive. Grats to them..I guess. The reality of being a demon slayer is not easy. But hey, at least Tanjirou became what he wanted to after all his hard work. Hell, I'm proud of him. Urokodaki's scenes were priceless to watch, what a goofy guy. |

| protect da lolis :D And yeah Good episode as usual. But the pacing is a bit too slow imo. and damn tanjirou is a savage, he just casually break people's arm. Lol |
 |
| Only four of them made it. Tanjirou got his first mission and a new sword. |
 |
| dang, lol wen't so fast ... |
The spider is watching |
| Wow, only four of them. That was pretty brutal. |

| Wow this is so good, the whole episode went by in a flash. Next episode Tanjiro on his first assignment, I'm pretty excited for that but 7 days feel too long. |

| Only four of them made it, but the guy with the crow with a scarf said five made it. Its that a translation error or something else? |
| I loved it how Tanjirou showed compassion to that demon, you just know that he can relate to his pain too well. Then we had the reunion between him and Nezuko, which was cute, but it felt kinda anticlimatic compared to the emotions shown before. And boy, looking forward to that first job. Go save them girls! |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Fucking hell, that reunion got me teary-eyed, amazing OST to accompany it. |
| That guy being so rude with loli with white hair was so unnecessary |

Only four? The character that appeared at minute 12:56 said 5 survived the test, did I missed something or the subs are wrong? It's in spanish, but there says "So five survived." Tanjirou just got his sword and has his first mission, can't wait to see. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Once again Ufotable is doing justice and even more to the manga. They extended Pile O’ Hands’s backstory, I truly appreciated that. And that sad OST, damn This was a very emotional episode from beginning to end, got goosebumps several times. Zenitsu’s so cute tho, can’t wait to see him in action. The ending was HYPE! Tanjirou’s first assignment as a Demon Hunter is here!  |

| Great episode as always. Only five survived eh? That's harsh, but it seemed like we saw only 4 people. The guy who kept asking for the Katana cracked me up. The test invigilators kept talking about all this other stuff and all that guy ever wanted was the Katana. XD The girl who survived was pretty cute, I hope we see more of her. The reunion was very touching, I almost teared up and the soundtrack was great. A black katana, I'd say that's still pretty cool. Wonder if it has some meaning. The sword smith seems like an interesting guy. xD Tanjuro receives his first mission, looking forward to next week. |
 |
| When i first heard that 4 of them (but that guy with a crow said 5?) survived out of around 20 and then there's 15 pieces of ore, that ore is made from the ones that died but i guess not. That one guy was in a real hurry to get his sword... And Nezuko welcoming Tanjiro with a hug was soo cute (Nezuko best imouto of spring 2019.) |

| well that's just my opinion..... |
| Damm that flashback scene showing the origin of Tanjiro's opponent was really something. Its good that he was able to avenge all of his fellow disciples by winning here. As expected of a test for elite organisations like the corps the success rate sure was low with only four making through this time. Guess while all the recruits have impressive swords skills not all of them have the correct attitude. Thankfully things there did not escalate. The reunion between Tanjiro and Nezuko and Urokodaki sure was heartwarming and beautiful. After that smiths words the fact that the sword turned out to be a black one sure was amusing. While the talking crow was a surprise the orders that it brought sure introduced did well injecting the tension back in. Looks like the Tanjiro's first mission is finally here. Excellent ep that while concluding the fight brilliantly also did well in introducing slowly the ranks used within the corps. Looking forward to seeing how the first mission plays out. |

| I really like this episode because the hand demon's past is so sad, and I really like the flashbacks of how the hand demon is captured. |
| Anime/MangaFan Mahwa fan |
| this is sooo good man, they got me feeling sorry for the Mutated Oni in the beginning, the reunion was so heartwarming as well. Amazing episode and easily my AOTS |
| I like that Tanjirou is kind enough to recognise that demons used to be people and wishes them well in their next life when they die. He is fast becoming one of my favourite anime characters! I'm so excited for next weeks episode... his first assignment as a demon slayer! Go, Tanjirou, go! |
 |
| The 5th one went to train in the mountains xD. The ost is amazing, i hope it will come out soon. |
| When you feel bad for a demon that's killed many people you know it's good storytelling. |
 "There are three things you can never get back: The word after it's said, the moment after it's missed, and the time after it's gone." -Koe no Katachi  |
| Even if I didn't notice the tears coming down from the corners of Urokodaki's mask, I KNEW that he was definitely tearing and being emotional when he was hugging the siblings. That scene was very well-done with the emotions. I mean, Urokodaki was so elated because he's had to experience the countless times of his previous disciples not returning alive in the past, and for Tanjiro to come back alive was like a welcoming shock of joy to him. |

How so? I'd just cut out that part with dying demon who went full emo. That's not how you set up a drama moment. I couldn't care less honestly. LadyPhyllo said: When you feel bad for a demon that's killed many people you know it's good storytelling. 2 mins. of wonky flashback is actually enough for you to care about it? Guess people these days have some weird concept of "good storytelling". They didn't even introduce this character. At all. 2.5/5 for the episode. |
Why would I do that? I'm just pointing out it was nothing special. This season sucks, IKR? But that's not the reason to praise some mediocre content. Duh. *5? That guy said 5. |

So you said we should have an entire episode or two of flashback for the demon that died for it to be considering good story telling. |
ExaltedChampion said: So you said we should have an entire episode or two of flashback for the demon that died for it to be considering good story telling. Not really. The thing is, they've introduced this demon as complete bastard who enjoys killing people. But now I'm supposed to feel sad because they've shown me 2 mins. of tearful flashback...? Dunno, man. That's too cheap for my taste. |

That's too cheap for my taste. I don't think that was done for that specific demon. Probably more about showing second side of an entire species. |

No it 5, the 5th guy just leave early. Also yes the demon are evil but they also human before that. The story admit their wrong doing and don't give them a free pass for what they had done just because they have sad backstory. Most if not all demon only have flash back after they dead. |
| Great Episode Ufotable extended the story of Pile O' Hands backstory(it wasn't in the manga),it was nicely done and nearly brought tears in my eyes Only 5 people survived,Zenitsu was cute Nezuko is back. Next Epiosde Tanjirou's first assignment begins. |

I'm not even saying it's bad, good or whatever. I'm just pointing out that the drama part is very clumsy. And this storytelling is actually too comfortable. C'mon, his sister actually woke up when he came back? Too cheap imho. |
| I like that the exam didn't take long. I was worried it might take four or five episodes. The blond guy, who is drawn in a different artstyle, really makes me uncomfortable. Is that a raven or a talking crow? |
| That shot of the kids.... I came for shonen; I wasn't expecting the feels I'm still a little choked up remembering it |
| Of course his sister is a special exception and doesn't have to eat human flesh to survive unlike every other demon we've seen so far, meaning that our goody two-shoes MC will never have to face any interesting dilemma involving his sister's life or innocent folks'. Gotta love how this plays it safe even for a weekly shounen jump work smh.

That's too cheap for my taste. Ufotable back to their old tricks, it's like UBW all over again where they spend a few minutes on a flashback, in a last-ditch/crappy attempt at making us care about a certain character right before killing them off. This is just terrible writing and directing. |
| There were only four there, but the guy with the raven said that as many as 5 had survived, so I'm assuming that little discrepancy will become very important later |
| hmm 5 survived 🤔 |

| The art is still pretty solid I'm actually surprised despite Ufotable being in a huge debt lately. looking forward to next episode 3/5 bledsoe60 said: its probably the masked guy in the OP.There were only four there, but the guy with the raven said that as many as 5 had survived, so I'm assuming that little discrepancy will become very important later |
| Oh god, they actually used Bakugou VA for the guy who kept asking for the katana asd |
| Is it only me or I saw only four people surviving the test, but that mysterious person with shoulder-length black hair which we saw from the back said he got 5 new sons? |
