A really good episode, can't wait for what comes next for Nezuko and Tanjiro, Nezuko chase scene was just too cute lol. I am also glad to see our MAN, Tomioka, Giyuu, defending Tanjirou, let the trail begin. We also got a glimpse of the Hashiras, and yes of course, there's always going to be that one dressed in a certain way that would make you wonder why they don't catch colds often.

Why is this anime so fucking slow? Literally almost nothing happened on this episode. There's no need to expand on the demons backstory that much, it wastes a lot of time, Spidermom's backstory was shorter and it was easier to sympathize with her. Can't say the same for the rest of this "Family"

It does not help either that Shinobu keeps triggering Giyuu while not letting Tanjiro or Giyuu explain themselves. All that time wasted served nothing because in the end they'd be taking Tanjiro and Nezuko to the pillars anyway.
Right. I totally forgot people complain to everything nowadays. When for one time, in a short shounen have a some character development, even for someone few will care anyways, people still complain about that. In all the tension we have had so far, they're taking a bit slow and it'll be like this for pretty much the next two episodes, as they're introducing many new characters.

Ah shit, here we go again.

I think I should edit my main post so I should stop getting replies of people telling me the same thing over and over again.

I'm not against having these backstories for the villains, the problem is, that almost nothing plot relevant happened on this episode. This show already spends so much time on these backstories that they end up dragging them too much it makes the plot progression really slow. We've been 6 episodes on the same place and only about half of them were relevant.

I get the feeling that everything is not black and white here like it's not as simple as demons slayers vs. demons. Cause we've seen friendly demons so probably in the future Tanjiro's gonna fight the whole demon slayer corps lol or maybe perhaps just a couple of these hashiras

While i know she was on the right, Kocho was getting on my nerves with her insistence to kill Nezuko off. Poor tanjiro couldn't catch a break, it's a miracle he hasn't died from all those injuries already.

Dunno why but all these Hashiras except Tomioka look like assholes.

A pretty good episode.Even if i find the male characters to be extremely boring so far in this anime. The females are much better and shines through. Shinobu is an alluring beauty and fun to watch! Hopefully there will be a lot more of her in the future .I really wanna see her go all out!!

Even with irritating male characters it's a decent anime so far overall!! And the action is flashy and entertaining!!And the story dont waste to much of its time with stupid shit!! I like that,Nice pacing, i give this anime 5/10. For now!!!

That first half almost made me rate 1/5 this episode, it was so stupid.
At least things picked up after Shinobu arrived, so i'll just pass as usual.

Those crows showed up at such a convenient moment, were they having fun hiding and watching best imouto get chased?

@kirbo
Get used to it. In Kimetsu no Yaiba the characters gets introduced early, you don’t see them for like 100 chapters, and then the author focuses on them. That’s just how her storytelling is, a clever one in my opinion. For example, the other two kids that survived in the Final Selection. The girl gets some screen time in this arc we are entering now, but then you won’t see her for like 90 chapters. The “angry boy” gets properly introduced deep in the manga, after 100 chapters.
Of course, the same goes for some pillars and the main villain.

One thing the author is good at is not forgetting elements or details. The blood collecting quest was not forgotten. In this fight of course Tanjirou couldn’t collect it because he was too much injured, and Giyuu was the one killing him. Later on you wil get an important development in this plot point. Same goes for the “marechi” thing (rare blood).

About the first demon Tanjirou encountered... do I even have to say this? Would you easily murder someone you know killed other people. I think that the answer is quite obvious, you would 100% be hesitant about it, for sure.

As for the other demons, it was said this episode that Tanjirou only forgives some demons, not all of them. Like the Swamp Demon, and other demons he will meet in the future. Cause he can ”smell” when a demon is giving off a scent of regret, sadness, etc... so yeah, Tanjious does feel for them, but will still kill them. So it’s up to you how to view his sense of forgiveness.

What a fantastic episode!

As always, an amazing backstory that will make you feel a little bad for the villain, what a sad story.

The butterfly girl has her reasons, it's obvious, but what a coincidence that the other guy is the one who saved Tanjiro and let him flee with Nezuko without killing her, that's why he was protecting them!

That ending wow! So slaying corps also have some elites too, that's great!

Best moment of this whole episode! I almost died of laughter when Nezuko became small ahaha

Such emotional episode.

Tanjirou didn't collect Rui's blood, what a shame.

Suzuki was so cute when she tried to run away! ;D

That ending showed some more charzcrers. I guess next episodes will reveal some more informations about them. For now we only know they are the strongest among demon slayers.

I don't know if I was the only weak person that cried like a baby with the sad story about Rui, but I did it.
By the way, it was strange the situation it saved Tanjiro and Nezuko of they being called by the slayers demons society's, now I'am wondering why it's supposed that Giyuu is the mostly hated between the pillars but I really wanna believe that is because of he is too strong or something like that.


It is his personality. You can see that he is rather unfriendly and he didn't even remember Tanjiro, only realized it is him after seeing demon Nezuko.
Oh. Yeah? Thanks for the inf. I was reading the manga while the emission but not too far enough.

We got to see the Rui's backstory in this episode, It's kind of hard for me to feel for him considering all the hideous things he has done.

Shinobu continues to be scary in a weird way. And I can't describe in words how cute Nezuko was while she was running away.

This episode was cute actually. I mean, Rui's story was really sad of course.

So Shinobu and Tomioka are on par and would have fought a bloody battle if that crow didn't speak... Good timing crow.

Also Tomioka is shy and akward with girls. Cute.

Tomioka's reactions xD Btw, Rui, if Muzan's mouth is moving he's lying... probably.

The Hashiras and organization seem to be overreacting big time. Nezuko hasn't killed anyone and she runs away from humans. Then again it's not like Tanjiro had much time to talk to them since he's just gotten orders from crows. Played for the drama and I'm along for the ride. :p

Rui was the first demon I actually felt bad for. His story was spun in such an interesting way with a backstory that truly offers insight into the cold and violent world of KnY.
I was extremely hyped to see Giyu face off against Shinobu but I had a feeling they weren't going to let us in on a Hashira v Hashira fight so early on in the series.
Introduced to some high ranking Demon Slayers at the end of this episode! Only a handful of episodes remaining in this cour and it feels like KnY is just getting started!

It's really hard to hate the demons. Even though they're evil you can't help but sympathize with them in the end. Well yeah, Muzan is the who should be hated, not the others.

Rui's story was so sad. I think it's sweet that Tanjiro can still feel sympathy for demons other than his sister, definitely shows what kind of person he is. Also, Nezuko is the cutest thing ever.

Defo a big fan of Tapioca so she's wrong when she says no one likes him, glad he defended Tanjiro and Nezuko.

Feel bad for Inosuke recognising his own weakness, hopefully him and Tanjiro and train and get stronger together.

What an depressing and sad backstory of Rui. It's so nice how they went even more in detail what happened to him and how he became a demon. Ruis mom telling him that she's sry for not being able to give him a stronger body, damn that got me :(

Tanjirou has such a strong empathy even for demons, because he knows everyone of them was at some point human. I'm just glad Rui had his moment with his parents at the end and can hopefully rest in piece.

Giyuu is awesome. He knows it's against the codex to defend a demon or prevent another demon slayer from killing it. But despite all of this he still protected Nezuko. The interaction of him and Shinobu was hilarious. They're both very calm and collected people at least what we saw so far but especially Shinobu got a little bit pissed, especially when Giyuu had her in a choke. :D

Another demon slayer appeared a tried to kill Nezuko. This girl looks like she's related to Shinobu in some way, but I guess this will get explained? Anyways her kick broke Tanjirous jaw, ouch. Nezuko running away in her chibi form was also very entertaining and funny to see. It's also good to see Inosuke is fine even if he recognized how weak he was in this fight.

Oh boy shit is about to get real. They're in the headquarter and Tanjirou is surrounded by pillars. Can't wait to hear what will happen to him and Nezuko.

I found it funny between the battle of Giyu and Shinobu. Yeah, besiding how scary the behaviour of Shinobu, she pretty sure had a hilarious moment. I fucking love it, good job bring her voices Shiori!

In another part, Tanjirou unconcious. Nezuko lost too. Its time for the judgement meeting! Tanjirou and Nezuko relationship has been found out. Why pick it so long? Yeah, the arc itself was so fuckin long too, why i doubt it by now? Fucking hilarious episode. Just let it be, begone, and progress some next episode.
