| Idk why but there's something satisfying about seeing Daki going insane. Zenitus talking half asleep is also amusing. Inosuke also got the battle time he deserved. However, my favorite part of the episode is Kanjiro fighting like a champ after all the shit that happened this arc. Guy went all out and fought with heart. |
 |
| This is setting up to be quite a huge fight. We got the whole gang agains Daki and Gyutaro. It was a surprise to hear that Uzui is actually feeling weaker and inferior to the likes of Himejima and Tokito. Also, Oyakata was looking good in that flashback. Not gonna lie, the episode kinda started slow, but as soon the action started rolling in, woah. It was a lot of fun between all those dynamic camera movements, visual effects and of course great animation. Another good episode and Hinatsuru is back!  |

| OH wow... another brilliant episode from the art and direction perspective. Nezuko... back in the box. No change in OP, visually. Though there was a lot of talking in this episode with things about Uzui's past and Gyutaro and Daki trying to put him down with that poison inside of Uzui. Daki got slashed again by Uzui and it was really amazing to see Uzui's immense strength. The good thing for us was that the boys arrived there on time. So, things would get a little easier for him, at least that's what they were hoping. Zenitsu talking while sleeping is still funny to me. LOL. But, as expected Gyutaro and Daki are no joke. They're not gonna go down that easy considering we're way over our limits already and our opponents are Upper Six. The animation once again was super freaking amazing. Holy fucking shit. My god, Ufotable, you guys did it again. So fricking amazing. |
 |
| Bit of a backstory for Uzui, and how meeting Kagaya is something he still holds dearly to. Great to see the trio getting back to give Uzui the much needed support, and Zenitsu with his flashy moves against Daki, that really was a sight to see. But goodness the whole fight sequence with Uzui and Tanjiro against Gyutaro was again supremely animated, it’s like Ufotable’s competing with themselves. And then ending it on like that, damn…. a real intense episode. |
 |
| holy shit the sakuga animation is great this episode again they have to behead Daki and Gyutaro at the same time to kill them that will be hard Daki vs Inosuke and Zenitsu Gyutaro vs Tengen and Tanjiro and also Hinatsuru |
Ifrad said: So, was it a 3 or 3.5 chapter episode? 3. They really could've fit more this episode tbh, the first half went really slow for no reason but the second one was insane, probably the best fight sequence the series has had so far. |
Ifrad said: Filtered123 said: 3. They really could've fit more this episode tbh, the first half went really slow for no reason but the second one was insane, probably the best fight sequence the series has had so far. That makes me less convinced that the meeting will be in this season. Kinda sad I don't really think there's any doubt about that though? They can get there pretty easily. |

That makes me less convinced that the meeting will be in this season. Kinda sad 3 episodes/10 chapters. It appears to be very possible to me. |
| That was a good episode. Don't have much to say about it. |
 |
| Is this some kind of joke? How are they still dragging out this absolute snoozefest of a fight? Unbelievable. |
 |
| So we have split fights with Zenitsu and Inosuke vs Daki which was already great (especially Zenitsu's appearance when the fight started) and Uzui and Tanjiro vs Gyutaro... damn we need to wait for the next ep after how it ended, I can't wait |
 |
| The first half is kind of slow, but they finally gather and fight together, and the battle in the second half is insane!!! |
 |
| The Upper Six siblings Gyutaro and Daki vs. the Swagger Demon Destroyer Hashira Uzui, they're really milking this to death. It's interesting that Uzui's upbringing is like Rengoku, children being tortured by their parents until they can make it into their position to succeed them, that's reality. But in the face of the Upper Six, the trio of underlings have arrived to assist Uzui while his wives all help to assist the ordinary folk within the Entertainment District to escort them to safety. In terms of psychological warfare, Uzui definitely came out on tops, while leaving the rest to Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke, testing their limits further on the fight between humans and worm-praying mantis sibling demon combo. Ufotable's bombastic fight scenes show calibre, and just let this be the final blow. |
 |
| Very flashy but great-looking action this whole episode, but the content and pacing itself felt too dragged out and wasn't that interesting besides the action that it got boring to watch and didn't care much for what was actually happening in the episode except thinking about how good the colors and effects look in contrast to the night sky and lighting. Demon Slayer might not have the best fight scenes in anime for me by any means purely because of its overdependence on effects while the action itself is a little weak beyond that, but to be fair to them, these episodes look movie level which is much better than the standard of what most anime normally provide in recent times at least. If only the pace of the action matched the visual flair. |
| Nothing much to say that hasn't been said already. Zenitsu being a sleeper GOAT (literally, and he's even sleep-talking too lol), and the fight scenes continuing to be amazing with ufotable's unmatched production values. I like that Hinatsuru joined to help a little, and we also got to see some of Tengen's backstory. My boy RenGOATku in the preview, man......π |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| i just noticed this, halfway through the episode, the music stops abruptly. is it only weird for us who stream it online? |
| I want to get more scenes from zenitsu he’s half asleep was funny to watch and daki she is mad!. A little backstory from usui tengen that was sad but he is such a nice character. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sγ·  |
| This episode was actually movie quality. Holy shit this was an incredible episode. What a damn cliffhanger!!! |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| The battle is finally here. There's so much going on as they fight it's almost difficult to keep track, but I'm loving it. Interesting that Uzui also compares himself to Rengoku, saying he doesn't think he can accomplish the same as him. |
 |
| 1st half of episode: I sleep. 2nd half: REAL SHIT It's like watching a Heaven's Feel fight. |
 |
| That second half was insane. It's my firts time seeing a team battle scene made by ufotable. K1E said: I usually felt that way to many anime adaptations if i read the manga beforehand, but KnY anime is one of the very few exception for me, the Anime is adapted so well it's still able to make me excited for every episode.After reading the whole Demon Slayer manga,the episodes are just not that interesting anymore.It was better if I didn't read the manga. SoraSenpai said: every action scene from KnY is a movie qualityThis episode was actually movie quality. Holy shit this was an incredible episode. What a damn cliffhanger!!! |

| From 5:34: "Camera angles in anime can be weird" Fire epsiode as always. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Did Uzui look up to Rengoku? I liked the moments they brought up with Rengoku and Uzui at the beginning, middle and end of the episode. Uzui even acted hopeful and said things Rengoku would say when Tanjiro felt doubt and fear. So far, this has been a great follow-up to the train arc. |
| Wtf is that cliffhanger? I WANT MORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA This episode felt so fucking short. But the animation this episode. Holy shit, what a sight to behold. I'm gonna go re-watch all those amazing scenes again, it was like seeing fireworks. Animation in this episode was even better than the Tanjiro vs Daki episode, that's how good it was. That Zenitsu scene was so fucking good I can't describe in words. I could feel the intensity of hits from the animtion. Brilliant episode. 5/5. If SnK also wasn't airing at the same time, KnY would have been #1 in weekly ranking for the whole season. Great fucking job by Ufotable. Loved this episode. Looking forward to next one. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| the cliffhanger is fucking annoying !! fukkkk need to waiting 1 week again |
| Man, so far this new season has been kinda meh, pacing was kinda slow and there wasn't much umph to it, but now it's changed. This episode has made me really love this season. Great fights and visuals, and a lot of hype. Kind of emotional too. This is probably my 2nd favorite episode in the series. |
| This ain’t your normal weekly series anymore exceeds some movie standards as well. Zenitsu attack got me good for sure. 5/5 |
| Episode started a bit slow and overall, was a bit dragged out. The action sequences were movie-level, this episode's highlight and this season's best. The internal monologues are still annoying. Sleeping Zenitsu was GOATED this episode and small Nezuko must be protected. The after-credits sequence were awesome as well. Not the cliff-hanger tho; it can go throw itself in a dump. So overall, a visually fantastic episode, albeit a bit dragged out. |

| Aww this episode is going to be awfully slept by Attack on Titan, it's already written in the wall. Well frick that, this shit is peak Demon Slayer in animated form BY FAR!!! I cannot speak for a big part of this episode, because everything that moves in the screen would not give me a damn time to let out some air off my body....not enough reason? well this episode might just have the best fight scene in anime for my books. The fluid animation and all the other details are just too immaculate to be described in a whimsy paragraph. What I did took from this episode is that Daki and Gyutaro's power is throwing back rage and bloodlust to each criticism that they take (probably because of past trauma). And if you think about it, their ability to fuck all who speaks against them fits so well in the current climate of our world now (if you think about it, you might get it as well). I'm not going to expand on that, but they better sure on the fight, because the cliffhanger is so much for me!!! One of the BEST KnY episodes we have yet, we're in a 3 back-to-back banger episodes, and there are 3 left to air. Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen, bring it the fuck on!!! |
 |
| Dayum! the fight sequence was so smooth!!! Now both the sides' main unit is poisoned. Uzui with the venomous blood, and Gyutaro with the Wisteria venom. |
 β βββββ β£ βββββ β "Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself. Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains." β βββββ β£ βββββ β |
| Ah yes Zenitsu uses sleep-talk (into rest). |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| What a fantastic episode! It's been a long time since I've seen a fight so well done and so good in animes. I don't think it was a good idea for Tengen's wife to enter the battle, I have a bad feeling about that... |

| Wth is that animation , its so good. Though, about Tanjiro at the end , I bet if he would be able to slash that praying mantis head |
| It really took Tanjiro all his strength to stop Nezuko. Thank god the lullaby worked. The higher ranked you get the more regrets you will get every time you fail. Of lost comrades and of civilians butchered despite his attempts to save them. Tengen's family though sure had a tough life due to their profession. The fact that the master noticed and acknowledged his strength of will that he needed to shoulder that burden ensures his strong loyalty to the corps. The clash between Tengen and Gyutaro was though was just beautiful. But what that battle even more impressive was the fact that it was actually two simultaneous ones that were affecting each other. Hinatsuru sure picked an optimal time for her ambush though. Overall an impressive ep that featured a fine balance of character expansion via Tengen's past and action in the form of Tengen and teams' assault on Daki and Gyutaro. This ep's action have to say is the best i ever seen as it while being blindingly fast was also richly detailed as well. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. |
