Is it just me or this episode was visually much better? Everything looked much cleaner.

Anyways, an intense 20 episodes for sure. Seeing Inosuke talking so much, and generally doing stuff, without his mask on is so refreshing. He’s also so pretty for absolutely no reason. Too bad he lost track of Makio.

On the other hand, Zenitsu got himself in trouble with Warabi-hime Oiran, the upper moon, or called Daki. Both know each other’s identities. I’ve got to admit, she’s really pretty in her demon form. Ufotable did her justice fr. Her VA’s also doing an amazing job.

Episode ends with Tanjiro, so I’m guessing we will see more of him next week.
A very intense episode that is building up for an epic fight for sure!

It's not often that Zenitsu get that angry.

Pretty entertaining episode with the amount of psychology dealing with characters like Daki. I think the episode highlights how dangerous their mission is in the Yoshiwara area. Props to Tanjiro and his team to have the balls to even take on this mission.

Oh boy... Inosuke sensed something and as expected he couldn't stay quiet about it and barge straight into it only to find nothing. On the other hand, Zenitsu trying to help the crying girl was sweet. And, above all, we finally got to witness the main girl demon of this arc. She's quite strong and of course, she's a bitch that we saw from the things she did but my god, she's hot. Also, her VA did an amazing job. Zenitsu got knocked out in one swoop. Welp, we'll have to see how everything goes from here.

Also, the bootleg Michael Jackson got some screentime. He acknowledges the beautiful demon waifu. Motherfucker... didn't do that to my boy Akaza even after all he did. Felt like a buildup episode for sure.

Inosuke being the perceptive one he is, didn't took him long to realize there indeed was a demon in Makio's room. But it was a stroke of luck for that demon, and unfortunate for Inosuke as it managed to get away.

But things got serious on Zenitsu's end, with him having an argument with Oiran of the household, and she being none other than the Upper Moon Six, Daki. Still as scary as ever. Can say for all that fun we had in last episode, this was a rather intense one.

The 1st of 3 wives: Makio of the Ogimoto House, being caught by the usual demon, and Inosuke has a sharp tendency to sniff the demon out...while destroying the House partially. Tanjirou is just doing his usual in the Tokito House, just asking for more duties.

The same with Zenitsu in the Kyougoku House, but however, the demon that he faced was an actual demon in Muzan's ranks: the Upper Moon Six Daki, disguised as Warabihime Oiran, whom eliminated 7 Hashiras before. And she's no pushover to render Zenitsu unconscious, she's a fearful one.

Animation quality is a banger in this episode. God-tier one! Indonesian weebs will say: GRAFISNYA GA NGOTAK!!!!

The story begin to tense up. I like how Zenitsu "wrapped" by Daki in the last before the "Christmas" mini clip.

This episode is the reason I lift my score from 9 to 10. I hope ufotable don't make me disappointed in the next episodes.

Daki making her big debut! The anime has finally reached the material including her introduction. Daki steals this episode being so fun to watch in every scene. We get interactions between her and numerous other characters. Including the return of Muzan with that flashback to a few days before the boys infiltrated. Muzan telling Daki that she can't get overconfident even as things are going well, that she has defeated multiple Hashira and can grow stronger still. While we haven't seen her full powers yet that is a scary notion that an upper rank demon who's done as she has can become even more terrifying. We learn that Daki has secretly been living in the district for hundreds of years as different Oiran but with a signature naming pattern. The moment that Madam confronts Daki she does her patented technique of drop them from the sky. Inosuke coming close to finding her while she was interrogating Makio, but losing the trail. Tanjiro just doing his best as a diligent worker. Zenitsu hearing that little girl cry leading to himself meeting Warabihime aka Daki. She is not too pleased that he has walked into her room. Zenitsu does a good job not backing down even after realizing she's an upper rank demon. Protecting that little girl even getting thrown across the room for it. He's fine but there is that end credits scene where Zenitsu gets taken by Daki threads.

This Mission is heavy props to tanjiro and his Groups.
Tbh that was a nice scene that Zenitsu is hepling the little crying girl but he knew that she is an Upper Moon, i like her design in her demon Form and also her VA is pretty good.

Nice to see more from Inosuke too bad for him that he lost Track of Makio.

This was a busier episode, focusing on Zenitsu and Inosuke. I wonder what Tengen was doing, as he didn't appear in this episode.
At the end of the episode, Zenitsu was probably captured by Daki so she could try to get information about the exterminator squad through him.

Firstly, AAAAAAAAAA

This was a very solid episode, better than the previous two.

Warabihime is one scary and hot demon man. It was so funny when she started acting all soft and cute and started blushing in front of Muzan lol.



She's one of the upper 6, that's no joke.

Look at her damn.



Looking forward to next episode.

Have to make it slow, otherwise even lesser episodes.. they should have added some scenes where the Trio and Nezuko and Tengen go kill some demons.

This episode was crazy. The Upper Moon Rank 6 is Daki. Wow. Talk about something. She has disposed of 7 Hashira which sounds impressive. But the question is. Is that her total number? Compared to the other upper six who might've lived longer than her what was their number of disposing the Hashira? Muzan seems to have a nice soft side, but I wonder if it is just a facade to hide his true self now and then. I had to look up her name of what it means as well. And it suits her nicely. It can mean many things, but the definition of it is contemptuous or despicable. As for the name possibly it means fallen or princess. Like wow. Anyways Makio is kidnapped, Inouske knows something is up, but failed to catch up. Zennitsu just became a target for Daki. Tanjiro is just doing whatever he can to help, but senses danger of a smell in the air. Oh dear. Anyways. Things are looking crazy for our characters.

Gotta love Sawashiro as Daki. And although you could already tell by visuals and the opening, I'm glad they didn’t censor her fit. That would've been a crime. Also lol, this was probably the most gentle Muzan we've seen so far.

Loving this season so far and the opening only gets more hype the more I listen to it.

Miyuki Sawashiro killing it as always. You can never get enough of her.

I love how Tanjiro is the exact opposite to Zenitsu and Inosuke, the latter two cause trouble while Tanjiro is overly diligent.

Zenitsu standing up to Daki was awesome.

Gotta say, Daki was kinda cute when she was blushing in front of Muzan.
That post credit scene was terrifying, those contraptions of Daki can give you some real jump scares.

Black and White presentation for introducing the main villain huh i like it. Plus that scene showed well just how powerful she is. Her interaction with Zenitsu though was hillarious. Meanwhile Tanjiro's as diligent and efficient as always huh. So the quarry this time is the upper six demon Daki huh. Seductive but malicious are the perfect words to describe her. Being able to best Seven Hashira is quite a feat. Her ability to switch emotions freely was also impressive. Zenitsu being saved by those three attendants was cute though. Overall an excellent ep that while featuring no action per se featured a ton of great tension that did well to formally introduce the target of Tanjiro and co in the form of Daki. Looks like Zenitsu's bold save ended up making him a target though. Miyuki Sawashiro was the perfect VA for Daki for sure.

Inosuke may be pretty stupid, but his perceptive abilities are unmatched. Too bad he wasn't able to completely focus and lost track of the demon. Zenitsu displayed some rare bravery standing up to the disguised Upper Moon, it takes huge balls to do that. That cliffhanger though, Zenitsu's actions have really landed him in some hot water. This was mostly setup but it did its job in building excitement for what's to come.

I don’t know… I find the first two episodes were better / more enjoyable. Throughout the episode not much hooking nor comedic. Though after the outro, there was an exciting cliffhanger which I am not going to spoil, plus the Christmas mini after was cool to see too.

That after credit scene… I can’t wait patiently for next week’s ep after seeing that!

I can’t believe how much Zenitsu & Inosuke have changed; Zenitsu was so brave this ep & Inosuke actually tried to use his head for once… y’know, before he went back to being reckless!

Im a bit confused by one thing though; is it one demon causing all the death in Yoshiwara or is it three different ones from the three households?

Damn, Daki is making me feel conflicted about her. She's a demon and as a demon she's absolutely terrifying... but she's so hot and Miyuki Sawashiro's voice acting is just superb.

Man, Zenitsu is so much better when he's not just yelling "Nezuko-chan". Like, he was pretty cool today... until the Christmas part.

I swear I’m hearing Jolyne’s VA for Daki
"I only studied a little bit of history and I have learned there are two current thoughts in human history. The opinion that there are things worth more than human life and the opinion that there is nothing preferable to life. When the war begins, it is on the pretext of the former type of people and it justify the latter when the war ends"

The name Daki probably is inspired by this: https://people.wku.edu/haiwang.yuan/China/tales/daji_b.htm . I saw a number of anime inspired by this tale and in many is spelled Daki instead of Daji. What I found best about the demon moons in the manga was their story from before they met Muzan. I do not remember having enough exposition on that for the lower moons in the anime but I hope they will take the time to do so for the upper moons. Their story is pretty sad, and with one exception they are more victims of Muzan than villains.

Yikes. This is Jujutsu Kaisen and MHA all over again.

Forgot that anime based on shounen manga can be so dreadfully dull when watched on an episode-by-episode basis. I think it's the story-telling techniques used, like cutting away to another brothel at a key part (for example cutting to Zenitu's house when Boarhead reached the door to Makio's room) or ill-timed flashbacks like when the Oiran hit Zenitsu and they cut to her killing the madam of the house.

Kills the tension and slows down the episode. It's probably following the source material, of course, but that doesn't make it any better.

5/10

Might have to binge this show to get any enjoyment out of it.
