Yes? Most of the demons had a unique abilities and can use some Magic

So that means no more ugly demons mindlessly ripped off people's bodies? From now on only elite fight with good-looking demons and their 'quirks'?

"Good looking"? LOL! Just wait. And not entirely an ability driven show. I mean there will be few elite demons/upper moons who has their own unique abilities and all. And there will be some top tier Demons who doesn't use any Blood Demon Art but crazy strong and relies on the peak of their raw physical abilities.

wait, There's an info about it in the previous episode right?. For the demons, they use a Blood Demon Arts, also called Blood Techniques, They are unique to each demon. And for the demon slayer, they use A breathing technique that increases the user's strength and endurance.

Yes, the demon use magic and the stronger one have unique trick. The breath thing was explained is like forcing the body to start pumping adrenalin, increase the user speed, strength and reaction time during the battle. The sword technique actually base on the characteristics of the elements(Water is adaptive, follow the flow while Lightning is fast and switf)

For those who are crying about the long fight scenes... Saying it has lot of talking.. Dude it's an shounen anime remember bleach, one piece, and how can we forget naruto talk o no jutsu, and there is nothing wrong with the fight scenes slow mo are cool, perfectly used cgi... Consider yourself lucky that this manga adaptation didn't get ruined like one punch man season 2... What these guys problems are🙄🙄


There are shounen anime that don't need to give a play-by-play during the action scene and pad it with endless dialogue. It's a trait of manga that needs to be left in manga and the anime needs to be animated.

i mean the demon slayer sword technique like the mc sword technique 2,3,8 etc.
what is the fucking thingy in our screen like wave effect or the water fall technique that can decelerate his free fall. is it a physical things or some mystical things?

Another great episode, the animation was some of the best i have seen in this show so far, except for some bad use of cg (some of the cg was used really well).
I was really surprised when Yushiro lost his head, apparently he can grow it back. I really liked his other abilities as well, like being able to turn invisible and make objects like the house they were in also invisible.

Ow, almost lost my cool when that Demon's head popped out. That was totally unexpected. I can already hear some scheme-y Manga-readers' laughter.
Very interesting how Demons can lend humans their powers, and with a duo such as Tanjirou and Nezuko, they would be immensely powerful had she learned a similar technique.
I don't know if it's a thing among certain Demons, but both Nesuko and that villain chick have redding and dark mix of hair. Is it alluding to something? Maybe indicating a class amongst demo,s or something. Maybe a clan thing, or better yet, got turned into demons by the same demon. Which is probably the closest thing to being correct.

The water effect is just visual and meant to be a metaphor for the sword techniques. All "forms" Tajirou is using are just sword moves with some modification when needed.

hmm, so there is no mystical force / energy beam and only a visual interpretation / effect.
his body movement + sword technique can decelerate a free fall, ok ok

This episode felt like it dragged on forever while nothing happened.

It's becoming clear that this anime is pretty much all about the fights and dramatic moments, and nothing about characterization or plot.

Twelve Moons? So we're probably going to get another 12+ episodes of Tanjiro fighting and defeating them before he can get to the Big Bad again. Except there won't be any narrative purpose because he's apparently already an expert demon slayer able to deal with any situation, leaving no opportunity for character growth.

I don't know. It's hard to articulate exactly what is wrong with this show, other than saying that it feels generic and unoriginal. The main characters are all pretty much defined by their drive to defend loved ones and/or get revenge. Standard fare for action or fantasy characters, but they don't project any kind of additional personality or motivations into the narrative. They lack depth.

You won't get a faster pacing with any other studio, this shueisha decision.


Heh??? Just what do you think a director and those working on the storyboard do..? Shueisha isn't in charge of these creative decisions lol, what the fuck. They can probably demand or veto certain things at meetings but you can't blame these things on them... They're not artists they're producers, and what that guy was complaining about was just a common theme you see in the studio's works.

DrakenKnight said:
No, no and no, the animation of Kimetsu is good, but not so much, the animation of sakuga that has Mob Psycho 100 gives a good kick to this anime.


Can't tell who you're agreeing with and who you're disagreeing with... However Kimetsu's animation is definitely pretty great, but if you think it's as good as Mob Psycho's, or even better, then... Yeah. I don't know what to say.


I never said it was the best, but, ok.

Number one, not sure that is actually a thing. I've seen plenty of Shounen with more depth or at least more originality.

Number two, all storytelling is about depth in some dimension. So far, Kimetsu is shallow in every way that I can look at it.

I agree that this fight is forcefully stretched out with questionable directing. The studio should not have stuck with adapting 2 chapters per episode like they did. Hopefully they are more flexible with later episodes.

I can't guarantee that you will like the story from now on, but after this fight concludes we'll be past the most shaky part of the series. Also I think it's a bit early to judge characterization when we're only introduced to 2 characters in the main cast.

Regarding Tanjirou, keep in mind that he is now a full-fledged demon hunter who should be able to deal with the average demon by himself. That not to say there won't be opportunities for character growth, but this level of competency should be well expected from him.

So far tanjirou have only fought an average demons, And the reason why he can keep up with temari and arrow demon in this episode is thanks to yushiro and tamayo, without them tanjirou would've already dead.

you know, it's kinda hard to find a series that original and not generic. And most of people don't have a problem with a generic show tho, for example, MHA is extremely generic, but still very successful and has a very high rate in this site. So the most important is how well the character and the execution of the series, not how original the series is.

Great episode!

A wonderful display of Sakuga this episode yet again and whilst a few of the 3D shots looked poor, they were all but insignificant. I’ve seen many people compare this show’s animation to Mob Psycho 100 II and honestly imo it doesn’t stand a chance even, but hey that’s just me. I’m a big Studio Bones fan and this is in fact my first Ufotable show so not biase here.

I’ve finally caught up to proceedings, by the way, and what an insane ride it’s been! Highly looking forward to keeping up with this series weekly from now on! I really hope they start picking up the pace though, this episode felt like it dragged on a little too much for my liking. Even replaying some of the scenes from the previous episode to meet the 23 minutes allocated time limit does not really help. Comedy of this episode was for the most bit hilarious but the others didn’t really click on for being far too random. Good lord, what was that “let’s use them as decoys and run away! I’m just kidding!” but lol @ that dead expression though.

Definitely hyped for the next episode! The title gives me a really bad feeling though, will the two demons pass away in the process of letting Tanjirou and Nezuka excape from the clutches of the twelve moon demons?

Wow! Amazing episode
The effects of sound, action scenes, animation, etc ... Everything was very good in this epic.
Now it is known that there are 12 elite demons called the "12 Demonic Moons".
What I wonder is how will Tanjiro draw blood from the demons if he cuts them with his katana, they vanish into ashes?

Ps: Yashiro has great skills. They are like ninja techniques.

One of the better ways I've seen characters counter attacks in a fight. There had to be some limit to the DDR attack. Not as much talking the enemy to death as Naruto lol could try timing it to compare the scenes. Awesome anime series, I see why fans have compared it to FMA.

Narratively, they do need to get back to the main dude. And I'm sure they will.

So these 12 moons are only average? Is that a spoiler?

It looks like he is doing just fine with minimal help from them. Point is, he is able to face them with the resources currently available to him.

Right - so we're falling back on the "everything else is shit anyway" defense? Regardless, my entire argument is that the characters and execution of the entire series is unoriginal. Were you paying attention when you read my original post?

nah it's not minimal. Without yushiro's help tanjirou could not see the arrow, if he can't see the arrow then there is no way he can win. And yes, actually these demons in this episode is still average.

The 2 demons in this episodes are not 12 demon moons. Muzan just promise them that if they killed Tanjiro, he will give them a position in the 12 demon moons. The real 12 demon moons are far more powerful.

And of course there just happened to be a good demon around to somehow magically transfer his sight to him? Makes sense, seems legit. I also bet that he will never again face a demon that requires a power transfer from a good demon unless a good demon happens to be around.

what contrived? Tanjirou and the good demon happened to be around in the same place is because of a good reason, If muzan have never turn a human into a demon in episode 7, tamayo and yushirou would've never help tanjirou.
And talk about contrived, you know what is more contrived things in anime and manga? Some loser got killed by a random truck and then got transported to another world.
