| Ah yes, Muichirou and his past. A part of his life was with his father and the fact that he once again experiences those memories shows that he never forgot about his past. Similar to other tragedies, Muichirou experienced his own dark moments and it wasn't a pretty sight. On the plus side, it's great that he was able to use his full power when they needed it the most. |
 |
| We finally got to see Muichiro's backstory and it was pretty sad to see things turning out that way. His big brother was definitely going through tough times, and so did Muichiro but his brother was much more emotional in that sense. Felt quite bad for them. And, how they both got attacked by that demon. In progress, Muichiro loses his brother as well. That was very tragic. And, then the last few minutes were pure action animation by the staff. Lasted only for a small time but it did what it was supposed to do. A strong episode. |
 |
| About time Muichiro gets over with his underwater course, I mean that thing kinda overstayed. Though for what came after that, was the backstory of his, when he used to look like a cute little girl tiny feeble boy. Again someone who lost his family at a young age, and was left with his brother all alone.. a twin brother. That brother might be harsh with his words, but it doesn’t take much in this series to lose people dear to you. Indeed, one night a demon came and attacked the brothers. Being the harsh but caring twin brother Yuuichiro was, he took the attack and died in the process. Though for how that demon was taken care of, they told us Muichiro went blur and did everything. That’s for his backstory, the typical KnY style. Jumping back to the present, of course these flashbacks helped him get on his feet. Muichiro is already taking on Gyokko all alone, and well he for the most part has the upper hand, whether it be against tentacles or the CGI fishes. The animation in later stages was freaking amazing, though for the rest of this fight and conclusion, we’ll have to wait for the next episode. Again only a 2 chapter episode I guess. |
| A full Muichiro’s backstory episode, except that last few minutes. At this point, I don’t think we will ever get a backstory without a demon barging in someone’s home and slaughtering a character’s family lmao. Gotta say, it was quite emotional. A dead mother, twin and father. Muichiro really went through it, which explains why he’s the way he’s now. Poor boy got traumatized after seeing his brother’s rotten corpse next to him. Last few minutes went very hard with Abe’s cut. Direction was on point was once also. Next episode a full Muochiro versus Gyokko fight. Can’t wait, it’s gonna be a banger if it’s gonna be 20 minutes of what the last scene of this episode looked like. Muichiro being marked was so hype. The scene in the kitchen between the twins in particular was hard/sad to watch.  |

| Muichiro backstory took most of the episode since, like Genya's, they added some parts to flesh it out a little more. We got ourselves another character who lost his family at a young age. Not all exclusively to demons like Genya and Tanjiro, but a demon did contribute to taking away Muichiro's last surviving family member. Yuichiro may have been harsh on his younger twin but his dying words showed that he still cared for him and loved him a lot. I thought the entire episode was going to be backstory, but thankfully we got back to the current fight for the final several minutes. Muichiro got "the mark" and started going off (and yes, the mark on his face will be explained later). Boy, the staff did Muichiro's Mist Breathing justice. There's only so much the manga can do to convey what's going on with still images, so I love how the anime shows how these techniques are used. Once we get into full-fledged action next episode, I'm expecting it to be like those last few minutes on steroids. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Looked at the animators and knew we were in for a treat. Mostly backstory but the final moments were pure hype. Can't wait for the final 3 episodes now. I guess it's all out action now. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
LilH19 said: my thoughts precisely, I do enjoy demon slayer during its climax but it is getting very difficult to sit through an extremely repetitive and generic story its more of a chore for me atp even the animation cant save it for me anymoreLast few episodes have been boring asf. It took two episodes for something to actually happen lol |
| Muichirou's past was really saddening to see, to see him lose his both parents and as well as his brother. Muichirou did get stronger though by remembering things, he can now use 5 breathing techniques. It will be interesting to see where this will lead to. This episode was mainly focused on Muichirou and his past, the battle scenes were nice though and it looks like it will take a lot more to beat the demon once and for all. |
  |
| Wow. All the Hashiras have such sad backstories. But we learn a lot about Muichiro in this episode. His family. His brother. His previous swordsmith. Finally, Muichiro's recovered some of his memories and regained his composure. And now he's like Tanjiro with those marks on his face. Those last scenes with Mist Breathing were sick. |
| Mist Hashira backstory sad. He got stronger remembering it though. |
 |
| well its not enough each time i jus want to watch more |
 |
| If anything the water pot plus the poisoned needle really made for quite the powerful trap. Losing both of his parents so suddenly really was harsh for Tokito. One hell of a rage that Tokito had back when he needed it the most. But it was tragic seeing him lose his bro like that. But Tokito's reignited determination really is proving his worth in his counterattack against his opponent. |

| The "mu" (無) in "Muichiro" (無一郎) literally means "nothingness, none, not" The "yu" (有) in "Yuichiro" (有一郎) literally means "have, exist" The animation is as gorgeous as ever. The end was a bit confusing though, I know that it's Muichiro we're following right now, but the monologue is from Yuichiro's perspective for some reason. And where is Mitsuri lol |
 |
| Damn that ending slash was clean |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| On this episode of Demon Sleeping, nothing happened |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Wow that was a nice character episode for Muichiro and his twin brother his backstory is really sad and tragic this is so hard to lose his family everyone at this age. And he got his scar a really nice episode. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| As be an MC goes, I wonder how many characters can check the box " Have my family killed by the history villain group." If had Lady Amane scene where she successfully recruited Muichiro would be as funny as would be sad. Haganezuka still rubb...honing the sword. Muichiro got his mark. Cool! |
 |
| the 'my siblings were killed by demons angst" troupe is becoming repetitive atp, sure it was sad but we had genyas last week which was more or less the same thing. I just hope misturi's is different since shes the only happy one atm lol |
| Mild concern of the pacing lately. |
  |
| One of the best episodes of Demon Slayer, the visuals, soundtrack, animation, all of that. And Muichiro backstory was sad as hell, that his mother died cause of the cold, his father died trying to get the flowers, but accidentally fall of the Clift, and his brother Yurichrio got killed by the demon was traumatizing. Seeing his older brother killed by the demon in front of muichiro eyes was sad and tragic. He just literally went through that after his whole family is killed. That's why he became so emotionless and mind blank because of that. The way muichiro unlocked the Demon slayer mark was unbelievable and surprising. NO other demon slayers could do that, especially tanjiro, which has unlocked the mark since last season. The last few minutes of this episode was fire, muichiro going crazy when fighting the upper 5 with the mark unlocked. And nonetheless, Muichiro became my favorite character this series  |
| Is it allowed to scream at somebody like that…. |

| The scene in the rain looked insanely gorgeous wtf |
| 死だけが確実 |
| Mu for muteki Muichiro. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Every second character in this anime has the same exact backstory, how am I supposed to care anymore? At least it's still an eye candy though |
| Wait, so hes the harsh twin? He talked about Muichiro in the thrid person at the end, no? |
