Is this episode okay for an arachnophobic person to watch? I am asking because previous episode was really uncomfortable for me. And all these comments say it's a great episode. Idk. Please someone tell me.

I'm guessing the kid that appear earlier is the Juunikizuki.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

This show would be so much better without those unnecessary comic reliefs and exaggerated screaming. I believe it actually was like that for some of the first episodes and that's what drew me in in the first place. Right now I can't take anything seriously anymore. Instead of being invested in what's happening I just think, oh well, now we have to be sorry for this disposable spider demon and her sad backstory. Thanks, stupid boar-face and yellow crybaby for ruining all the mood, now I just don't care.
I've heard about amazing spider arc and that's why I decided to continue watching, but it was ok, I guess? Nothing spectacular. Maybe there's still some awesomeness to come... I'll still watch it but the show is pretty much degraded already from having lots of potential to be just slightly above average and meh.


The comedy ruins the mood for me too. It's completely anticlimactic and it makes the drama feel less serious or important. I think the comic relief is just very poorly placed, the last couple of minutes didn't have any comedy and they were great. But the previous fight with the other demon slayers was completely ruined for me because of the ill-timed comedy.

Another awesome fight this episode, this animation is always impressing me!

Tanjirou and Inozuka fighting together was so damn good, Inozuke reaction are so hilarious at times!

How kind Tanjirou changing his finishign blow to a painless finishing blow, and it was a really beautiful scene!

Poor demon spider mother, she was abused, she suffered a lot, i feel bad for her, i think she didn't truly want to do that, but her fear for father was higher, i think she deserved that painless death!

alright, this keeps getting funnier and better.
Tanjiro is becoming the best shounen MC after Gintoki, they're both so humane and merciful. The fifth movement is incredibly kind. The shot was beautiful.
I'm finally warming up to Inosuke and Zenitsu's still best boi since day one.

Spider mom reminded me of Endeavor and Todoroki. That's interesting because domestic abuse's a mundane thing we don't expect to see in a fantasy show. But that makes the character's struggles relatable and deep.

Also who's voicing Rui aka Spider son? The seiyuu sounds familiar
I bet he's the Moon and not the father.

This was such an amazing episode. Everything felt so perfect. Tanjirou changing forms at the last second so he could kill the Spider-mom Demon without pain; Inosuke feeling fuwa-fuwa over Tanjirou a bunch times over... I really love Tanjirou! It's rare to see a lead so cool-headed and that shows mercy even for his enemies. He always remembers that demons were once human, and that they have their own problems and stuff. He was so nice to the Spider-mom when he was so MAD just a while before (and yeah, the scene where the necks were broken was simply painful; just when Tanjirou thought he would be able to save them).

Also domestic violence awareness :( She preferred to die to come back to being hurt by her husband and made fun of by her male kids (apparently the female kid she had felt sorry for her). Sad, and yet the situation a lot of women go through. It's nice that the author thought about going into that.

Waiting for the next episode.~ I really feel like reading the manga ngh. And I guess Tanjirou and the boys will climb a rank after this whole situation. A twelve kizuki member... The father, right?

A return to form for this show.

A bit more dark, a bit more serious, displays again how Tanjiro is the best MC in ages and a blissful almost total lack of Zenitsu. Everything about the climax was incredible.

That demon fight was really good and tricky at the same time. Using spider strings to manipulate teammates to kill one another. I wonder if the father is one of the 12 Kizukis. Kinda felt bad for the Demon corps female who died killing all her teammates.

I'm not going to lie, but Inosuke's "fluffy" moments are increasingly cute. =3

Both Tanjiro and Inosuke's teamwork, despite their bickering between each other, is very impressive. The animation was also spot on as usual, along with the great soundtrack.

The Spider mother is someone I didn't expect to have sympathy for. Seeing her flashback as she got beaten up badly by her husband while the make kids looked on with smug looks on their faces was a bit painful.

So when she saw Tanjiro, who got thrown into the air by Inosuke earlier, approaching her, blade already to kill her, she preferred to be killed by Tanjiro rather than suffering from the hands of her family. Thankfully, Tanjiro noticed her change in expression, so he quickly changed his attack and, my god, was it beautifully done.

The attack was peaceful and tranquil, and it still did enough damage to decapitate the spider mother, but she didn't feel any pain from the attack. The whole scene gave me goosebumps.....very powerful indeed. =)

However, just before she disappeared, she revealed to Tanjiro that one of the members of the Twelve Kizuki is on the mountain, which mostly likely is referring to her massive spider husband. I can sense that things are going to get more serious now, and I look forward to seeing what comes next for Tanjiro and the rest. ^_^

one of the better episodes in a while, if only for the beheading scene with the flashbacks and less yelling from zenitsu.

see, you can have nice moments of seriousness that don't need to be undercut by screaming and unfunny sight gags every 5 seconds!

The deaths of those demon slayers was the darkest thing I've seen in a long time, like something from Higurashi no Naku. >->' Besides that there are beautiful scenes in this episode to contrast. Spider Mom's past is hella sad. Wonder if the Spider Father is actually her husband turned into a demon or not... I'm gonna say probably not? We'll see. One of the kids might be the Kizuki sp.

I cutted the other text so i can quote only this part where i'm referring.

I have a feeling that it's the spider boy (not the giggling one at the ground but the one that is moving on top of the spider webs) . Yeah the daddy-o is buff, but for some reason the boy is giving me really sinister feeling of how unemphatetic (sorry i dunno the real word, my native language is not english) he is. The mother also seemed to be afraid of the boy's webs, when she said that the boy's webs were making her lose focus on her job (of killing the other demon slayer members). So, that's my quess :3

----

Also... this has nothing to do with the quote anymore, but for everyone:

1. Please, tell if you know the seijuu/voice actor for the mother, i would really want to know it (someone else also did at the previous page).

2. Also when the scene starts where Tanjirou jumps towards the mother to kill her, there is a song playing at the background, that i absolutely fell in love with. It plays during when the mother is talking in her head before Tanjirou kills her. If anyone knows this either, i would love to know it!

Thank you if you know and share the info with me <3

Oh, that was pretty cruel, she killed all of them without a second thought. Inosuke is so competitive, he really can't help it. Interesting how Tanjirou decided to kill her off without pain at the end, made her death tranquil and warm.

I wasn't expecting Demon Slayer to move towards deeper themes of domestic abuse. I wonder what this says for the writing moving forward?

Inosuke has definitely grown on me, having shit on him and Zenitsu in their first couple weeks in the gang, their comedic value is starting to settle in and doesn't take too much focus away from the overall tone as much as it used to

Poor mother-demon. Her demon family is very dysfunctional and violent. However it didn't justify the way she treated all those demon players who entered the forest.

Too bad in the end all demon slayers turned to puppets were killed, even if Tanjiro and Boar-kun kinda succeeded in overcoming demon mother's control over them.

Spider Okaa-san is such a milf




I m surprised that I m enjoying the cast this much, blondy and boar-head are revealing to be excellent addictions to the cast that balance out MC greatly, they are 3 very unique MCs, and it is very fun to just watch these 3 mess around, Nezuko needs to do something fast, or she will lose the ground and be the less interesting of the four MC easily very soon.

Spider milf was cute all right, if it was not for her demonic body, and once again, they are giving the executions some nice finishing, you understand why they have to die, but still connect abit to their misery.. loving it so far.

Even after witnessing the cruelty of the Spider Mom killing off the Demon Slayers, filling Tanjiro with rage to the point where Inosuke could sense it, Tanjiro still shows mercy after realizing she gave up and uses a move that wont give the Spider Mom a painful death but Salvation instead...
The visuals and overall execution for this scene were great.

Excellent episode. Nothing felt rushed or to slow. The fight against these puppets didn't seem to end. The husband of the mother spider demon must be real monster. She was so terrified just by the fact that her son wanted to tell his dad about what's happening atm.

Tanjirou had some brilliant ideas. Cruel to see how the female demon slayer at first had to kill her comrades and even after Tanjirou and Inosuke managed to overcome the control she got killed abecause mother spider demon was panicing. Not gonna lie but the interaction between Tanjirou and Inosuke got so much better. They make such a good team and the comedy in between fit very well.

I'm relieved Tanjirou showed mercy for mother spider demon. All she wanted was piece and that's what she good. RIP.

But now with knowing that there's one of the 12 moons the real fight will just start. Can't wait to see how strong that guy is.

Something I really love about this story is how willing the creators are to flesh out and give meaning to every character, it makes things so much more enjoyable and meaningful to have some kind of connection and understanding behind each of the demons. It humanizes them and I just adore that. I think this episode was a great example of that and as always, great character design. <3

Inosuke could be a great teammate for Tanjirou. Thats some amazing team work, there for sure. Nice thinking Tanjirou! Meanwhile, some wimp with attracted hair, just crying around on the other side of the mountain. What a coincidence!

Poor that slayers, can't wait a little longer. Cause they just all died in cruelty. That mom demon, farewell, then! Lets see how Tanjirou get rid that Papa demon, one of twelfth warrior of the moon demon
