| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh Zenitsu. He always brings the humor to almost everywhere he goes. We also got a bit of training right off the bat for Tanjiro and the others. Heh, they just never seem to be able to catch much of a break in this show. Zenitsu's reactions just makes this more entertaining if you ask me. Also really cute to see Naho, Kiyo, and Sumi showing up. |

| Shinobu seeing Rengoku off was kinda adorable ngl, also yeah, Murata's back. Training episode for the trio! finally as they're in need of a powerboost. Hopefully with this they can utilize their techniques more efficiently. Tanjiro and Inosuke looked drain af. Love the new girls introduced this episode, pretty wholesome training arc which is doesnt normally happen. Aoi is crazy cute! Kanao being referred to as someone close to Hashira level by Tanjiro too, and those 3 lolis are wholesome and that beautiful Tanjiro and Shinobu scene! That being said tho, Tanjiro is one smooth boy. 2 eps left ya'll.... |

| Training episode Let’s see how much hate will this get, considering the comedy in this show is disliked by the majority. Glad I’m one of the few who loves the comic relief in this anime I’ve got to say it had a lot of cute moments, but I’m more looking forward to the next two episodes. Shinobu and Tanjirou talking on the roof. Pretty interesting, especially when Shinobu got close to him lmfao. It was nice to find out more about Shinobu, like her big sister getting killed and despite her always being able to smile, she’s angry asf  |

| Loved the comedy in this episode, especially from Zenitsu. So we have training in this episode. Loved the scene with Shinobu and Tanjirou talking on the roof. We learned that Shinobu had a sister that was killed by a demon. |
 |
| Great episode. I loved the comedy here, Zenitsu is the true man of culture. I love how excited he got after realizing what the training was. XD Training was great to watch, especially loved that one montage with Tanjiro literally just shouting "Hardwork! Hardwork! Hardwork!". Kocho is love. <3 Was nice hearing her backstory and how Tanjiro and Nezuko's situation gives her some hope towards her own dream. Honestly, I kinda want to see Nezuko warming up to Kocho, I think it would make for a very wholesome development and help Kocho realize that her dream is still not completely out of her own hands. It saddens me that this will end soon, I guess it's time to pick up the manga after. |
 |
| I love Shinobu so much. Nice to see some of her back story. |
 |
| That rant from Zenitsu was hilarious. He was so scared at the beginning yet that was heaven for him compared to the others. Learning more about Shinobu was something I was really intrigued to see. As expected her constant smile is not that real after al but she's angered most of the time. |

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Seems this episode continues the rehabilitation with training, although Tanjiro seems a lot more motivated than Zenitsu and especially Inosuke. There's another glimpse of Kanao, who has mastered a technique of the Hashiras, would like to learn a bit more about her. With only 2 eps left, it seems the show is taking the choice to cool off on the action, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. I'm assuming Tanjiro will continue to get stronger over these last episodes and hopefully Inosuke can regain his fighting spirit too. This has been one of the most thoroughly enjoyable shows of year and I'm hopeful that with the immensely positive reception this series has gotten, a season 2 could maybe be produced. |
| Wow a really beautiful and funny episode. Also looking forward to the next episode cause i really wanna know about Kanao Tsuyuri. |
 |
| Zenitsu 100% has a perk that gives him bonus to attack and defence agains females lol. |
| Im really starting to like the healer Aoi. Any girl that can keep Zenitsu in check is worth my respect. Shinobu being described as a goddess really is fitting. Beautiful and kind while deadly with blade and poison she's one that saves innocents while eradicating evil. The rehab training sure was interesting. Zenitsu's rage sure was rather amusing. Kanao though despite her quiet nature is quite impressive in her skills. Tanjiro sure is popular with the apprentices. Still its interesting in seeing Tanjiro train hard after being inspired by Kanao. The talk between Kanao and Tanjiro on the roof sure was insightful. An excellent ep that while calm did well to formally introduce Aoi while also expanding upon Shinobu and Kanao as characters. The insight into Shinobu's pain and her inner thoughts was pretty interesting. |

| total concentraion all day long lol good luck to Tanjiro mastering that and damn Shinobu is waifu material but the death flags though  |
| It all comes down to Breathing huh Thought for a moment Inosuke got back his edge there but seems like he's going to be depressed a bit longer Aa I dislike these kinda moments of Zenitsu. Maybe I'd like it more in the manga or rather wouldn't find it as annyoing.. How he shouts and screams really irritates me Tanjiro got himself 3 cute fans huh It's a shame Zenitsu and Inosuke gave but the training arc really looks interesting Especially with Kanao being such a milestone for Tanjiro That Shinobu scene on the rooftop tho.. Love this storytelling |

| Great light episode for the week! Zenitsu is back with his usual antics and it’s good to see Inosuke cheering up too in the process. What a man of culture he is xD. Gold comedy for the most bit this episode, he’s really got what it takes lmao. Damn, Kanao is a beast in petite form though. Dat gourd was humongous, jeez. And of course it comes down to Breathing, lol. I really hope they show us in detail how to ‘breathe’ like that sometime. Meanwhile, the Red-haired Hashira is off to kill some more demons. Judging by Kocho’s mannerisms, he must be quite reputable even as a Hashira. Cool little encounter between Tanjirou and Kocho-sama to end things off with. Felt like death flags setting up in all honesty but hopefully I’m off the mark here. Pretty sad backstory too, I’ve to say. Looking forward to what’s in store for us next! |

| This episode just gave me more reason the love the characters. Zenitsu and Inosuke are both great compliments to Tanjiro. And Tanjiro is extremely dedicated to his objective of turning Nezuko human. Kanao is honestly extremely badass but her silence makes her seem sadistic. |
| I guess I fall into the category of people still hating Zenitsu. He was more annoying then funny with his outbursts. Im liking a more laid back Inosuke atm. Tanjiro getting stronger by the day though!! Kocho <333 |

| I have said it before and I say it again fuck Zenitsu I'm so done with this piece of shit and his hysterics. Seriously what is so funny about this idiot screaming from the top of his lungs the whole fucking time? How can an author who has created such an amazing story and characters create this piece of shit? Also because of Zenitsu I now hate Shiro Himono and I really like him until now because of Baka to Test and AoT... |
| I really enjoyed the last third of the episode (no screaming). I found interesting to see some "humanity" behind the motivations and actions of Shinobu. Some of the pillars feel as alien as demons since they've become so powerful themselves. The 3 little girls helping Tanjiro was adorable. But damnit, we need more Nezuko. I'd love to have an episode were she's allowed to spend time with her brother (just the 2 of them). |

| |
| This was a nice comedic episode after so much tension and action. Zenitsu made me cry with laughter as usual... but i'm missing Inosuke's wild attitude. It was also cool this episode to get to know Shinobu a bit more and her sister's dream she's trying to continue. But when she said about how can someone care for something that kills humans i thought 'well, humans kill each other but that doesn't mean you give up on humanity' |

One of my favourite panels in the entire Manga |
 |
| Zenitsu being Zenitsu, lol. No Nezuko this episode sadly, but atleast we get more Kanao and that I'm starting to understand Shinobu more. |
| I have to wait a week to watch this "5-minute episode" ? Well, I guess I have to wait another week again Well done , ufotable JolteonRL said: With 2 episodes remaining, I'm not sure if they will be able to adapt the Demon Train Arc without rushing it.

| First part was terrible. Zenitsu being a failure as comic relief character is obvious right now. Comedy is the only thing (besides animation and ost of course) the show does it right, so please, no more Zenitsu ok? But at least finally, after 24 episodes, the show did a slightly good character development (with Shinobu). The slow pace actually helped the scene. My only criticism is again, the soundtrack didn't need to go all epic in the end of her speech. Just let it be a sweet song and move on |

See, this image perfectly embodies what I love about Shinobu. She will suddenly show up within your personal space with little to no warning, and the way she puts her face so close to you when she talks, make her equal parts attractive and intimidating. |
Judgment526 said: See, this image perfectly embodies what I love about Shinobu. She will suddenly show up within your personal space with little to no warning, and the way she puts her face so close to you when she talks, make her equal parts attractive and intimidating. Yeah definitely agree. |
| |
| Zenitsu was in heaven. |
 |
| Next episode: "Tsuguko, Tsuyuri Kanao" So next episode will be focused on Kanao, huh? Can't wait to find more about her, she is so strong and interesting. Also, is it just me or is the comedy getting better? This episode was really funny |
| More, more and more of Zenitsu complaining... I am quite happy that we're seeing more of the Tanjiro + Zenitsu + Inosuke gang, I really missed them even though it's been just a few episodes without them. I can't wait to see more of them, especially since it was hinted in the recent Madfest that S2 is actually happening (Source: YonkouProductions on twitter https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/1172721871600652289?s=19). I also enjoyed the scene with Tanjiro and Shinobu, she's shaping up to be a great character! Overall, 5/5 |
 |
| Inosuke only has to take his mask off to get an instant harem, meanwhile Zenitsu screams and scries about bullshit nonstop. I remember Zenitsu's introduction so I expected him to be a bitch in front of girls, but fair enough he's going hard for that pussy. Still too much screaming, some parts were funny though Best part of this episode was Inosuke saying ''Oh please, I've stomped on female kids before''. |
| poop |
| Shinobu really looks like she is about to give her title away : her successor is more than ready, she found a sort of way to leave without regrets (Tanjiro's becoming her dream successor while Kanao becomes her title successor). Honestly, there are 2 episodes left and I don't see this show ending on a positive vibe : pretty sure there will be a deadly turn over in the last episode. |
 |
| Zenitsu was actually pretty hilarious this episode. He's coming around for sure. It's interesting that the author chose to leave out Zenitsu and Inosuke from the training tho. I mean Tanjiro was already the strongest, but now it's not gonna be close. |
Gotta say Zenitsu wasn't that annyoing, even kinda felt sorry for him. Maybe because I got used to his character. But the one suffering the most was Inosuke xD Enjoyed the training too, but the part with Shinobu was <3 |

Tanjiro getting stronger by the day though!! Kocho <333 Well as long as he doesn't make you quit the anime (which we only got two episodes left) then i say thats fine. |

| My man Zenitsu always has a heart for the ladies...just not always the right reactions xD Very good episode I hope starting with Shinobu's sad story people start to warm up to the Hashiras instead of not liking them. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Xenitsu camplaining about their reaction to train while they would be arround cute girls, it sure was hillarious! Kanao seems to be really powerfull! Shinobu and Tanjirou conversation was really nice, i am glad to see some backstory about Shinobu! shinobu teases are also good! seems next episode will be about Kanao, looking forward to that! |

MariusMan said: Is this the start for Tanjiro and Shinobu ship??? Well, Tanjiro is quite popular with the ladies of the butterfly estate. If you wanna ship them feel free to but, don't get your hopes up for cannon, we have a certain someone with way stronger chances than anyone else... |
