The last time I felt this level of intensity was ufotable yet again, the rider vs. saber alter fight in heaven's feel, to be precise; I think we all remember that one. But no fam, this is on another level. We're all being broken records here but holy SHEIT ufotable just has no limit.

And it's not just the visuals, I can only imagine the eargasms if this could've been seen in IMAX with some earth-shattering speakers. Can you imagine the SOUND, at the moment where they sever the upper moon's heads?

The top critique about this episode will almost certainly be "cheap writing", and, they'd be right. But you know what, when ufotable gives us THIS, I'm 12 years old again, and I don't care.

The asspulls was just as dumb in the manga from I remember reading it but seeing the whole fight in full ufotable animated glory was excellent. Gives me a lot of hope that the final battle of the series is going to be mindblowing visually.

Good lawd that segment with Uzui final stand vs. Gyutaro was just insane.

like seriously man this episode was epic like tanjiro was so good he like literally chopped off gyutaro's head and when gyutaro's head was chopped off inosuke and zenitsu cut daki's head too and both the heads were meeting each other that scene was like the crazy joy for me but in the end the always do something like in this episode they made it end when there was a attack by gyutaro but man was this episode EPIC

Whoa, just whoa lol, was once again absolutely blown away by this Season. So many good moments here, both Inosuke and Uzui lived to finish the fight, and I absolutely loved Zenitsu here too. Not to mention Tanjiro’s clever way of getting back at Gyutaro, really loved the teamwork of everyone involved, and you can’t forget Ufotable’s stellar visuals once again. Yeah, there were some seemingly random power ups, but man I really don’t care lol, I just love this, Demon Slayer is so much fun to watch and this entire 2nd Season has reminded me of that, not just for the animation but for everything this show brings.

I hate to see it had to end with one last ultimate cliffhanger, I thought that last week’s couldn’t be topped but here we are lol, but once again next week will come before we know it. And I forgot to mention, I really love how it hung on destroyed city as the credits rolled, loved the OST too, a perfect way to end the episode imo, then of course the next time segment happened lol, but it was amusing.

At this point I'm genuinely more worried than being impressed. Like the level of animation, visual entertainment is just crazy.

What Gyuutaro said to tanjiro (all trash talking) made me so... happy(?), it felt like the water going through my throat clearing all left overs (I do not know how to explain well)

But I am not going to lie, the plot armor and plot holes... I know it's Shonen, I know (most) people don't watch KNY for stories, plot what so ever, so I'll let them slip. But Inosuke being able to follow Zenitsu's speed? No, it just doesn't make sense. He's so fast that he can only use it twice, but Inosuke came out of nowhere and keeping up with his speed? Why do zenitsu exist? Like have you not thought twice before writing? (Yes I am over reacting since I hate the author of KNY, but that's just no)

But I guess at the end, 99% of people including me is watching this just for animation... which did visually entertained me a lot, so...


I suggest you to go and watch this episode again, by the time inosuke appeared zenitsu's speed had decreased and it was decreasing everytime he was hitting the rooves so when inosuke caught him he was already slow .

Man. Can't animate better than this. I'm beyond impressed.

Of course plot armors appear when MCs get fatally wounded, we know already. But I don't care, what a fight between Gyutaro and Uzui. Also, hey, Nezuko had more than 2 lines.

Can't wait for the ending next week. And the last track of this episode's soundtrack was fucking amazing. Yuki Kajiura at her finest.

It was pretty obvious by Gyutaro dragging things out that Tanjirou would find a way to pull the W. Crazy animation though, I feel like this surpasses episode 19 and even Mugen Train. The power scaling is bonkers, but I can't deny this brought on the tears.

Holy f was that amazing. Only disappointing this is that this season is done in another episode. I was hoping it would last at least 16 eps, but here’s hoping S3 will be released soon (without recap). Also, whoever says the Fate series has better animation is out to lunch.

Yeah, I seem to fall on the group that is like OMG this animation... is insanely good... The audio, excellent! And I don't even care if they are meant to kill the bad guys and whatnot... but come on. They are all dying: one is able to stop the heart (? ok... I can cope with this, he's amazing), one can move organs (hein?), one is stuck under rubble and can use EXACTLY two moves, one to get out of the rubble and one to cut the head, and one has run out of steam and almost died 2 times in the last two episodes... :/

I loved demon slayer 1st season and the movie... but what happened to the plot? Did they really had to rush it out? Or is the manga similar?

Hand down one of the most epic and breathtaking episode in the history of anime. Ufotable outdid himself in this season and emerge as the animation powerhouse of anime industry. It checks all the boxes including - Animation, story, VA, etc.

I am curious about during the fight, Tanjiro forehead grows suddenly and his hair resembles like a demon.

i think season 1 and the train movie are overrated. they were just "ok" overall with some good/great scenes and moments, but also a fair amount of mediocrity

but season 2 has been pretty good. and this episode was the best ~20 minutes of the whole demon slayer franchise

it was a great episode. the first "dream" was good. the second one was kind of dumb though. and inosuke being alive? terrible ass pull...

but other than that, the dialogue and fighting with the demon bro and gonpachiro was great. zenitsu was great. flashy shinobi and his fight was great

it was AWESOME seeing demon bro literally slap gonpachiro around lol

***if*** the 11th and final episode is as good as episode 10, i'll bump this season up to an 8/10

I take back what I said last week. I have read the manga didn’t really like how things went so I didn’t really appreciate this season and get really annoyed when people in my country make this out as the best anime there is. So I called this anime overhyped which triggered some people. But I gotta give credit where credit is due. The animation in this episode is really really god tier. It is a cut above previous episodes which is a really big thing to say because every episodes of KNY has a really good animation. But still, it doesn’t change anything about how I think of manga. The story and characters are still below average and it’s definitely not the best anime out there. BUT the animation alone is enough to make up for all the deficiencies and I’ll definitely be looking forward to next seasons even though I hate the story and characters.

Feel like I can set aside the bullshit writing and plot armour aside this week, because god damn holy fuck the animation and hype in this episode was beyooooooooooond next fucking level.

The screaming from Gyutarou vs Uzui was, *chef's kiss* fucking masterpiece. And then the dead silence calm on the episode ending to close it all. Wow.

FUCKING IMPRESSED.



Still, gotta criticize parts that deserve criticism. Obviously, Tanjirou's plot armour, suddenly turning Super Saiyan again to cut off Gyutarou's head. Gyutarou's overconfidence backfired very badly, really a terrible plot armour here to nerf him considering he has superior speed, the headbutt and kunai shouldn't even connect. Should have used Uzui's wives here, kinda like how Vegeta distracted Cell, as diversion. The worst bullshit plot armour was Inosuke being fine and all. That's the most bullshit part for sure. Should have left him decapitated and barely saved in the end, because it was a sneak attack from Gyutarou after all. How could he changed his heart position that fast? Makes absolute no sense.

If I ignore the bad writing, awful comedy and plot armor, this episode was honestly one of the greatest ones in the entire series. Bless Ufotable, the fights made by them were unmatchable. That cliffhanger was great too. The music at the end really captured the hopelessness. I didn't like this arc in the manga but I think I somewhat like the anime version. What an incredible episode.

I think it's safe to say that this is one of the best episodes of the franchise.

Give these animators a vacation after they finish producing the series, they deserve it.

Damn inosuke plot armor is too OP my guy somehow reacts faster than a hashira to avoid getting stabbed and reaches to the speed of a guy whose technique is literally based on speed.

Amazing job with the animation but the story writing is just not up to the mark. I really like the interaction between the gyutaro and tanjiro and the fight scenes were really something else amazing job ufotable.

Aff! Another excellent animation for this episode. Superb. The intense fight literally stopped me from eating.

Can't imagine what Rengoku-san must have felt facing an upper 3 on his own.

They are just going up against the upper 6, with help from Nezuko and Uzui's wives and they are struggling like that.
A salute to Rengoku-san. Ufff~

But great job to my boiz here, glad to see them fighting like that.
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~

Yes, it is the same in the manga. After this, I pity Rengoku. If he had even 1% of the plot armor that these guys have, oh well...

Agree with you on each and every point. S1 and the movie were amazing. But, s2 just let down in terms of plot. Only thing that is keeping me going is the animation. I have so much to complain about this season but i don't wanna type 2 paras.

also, you weebs, inosuke didnt have to match the speed at all, he literally just needed to jump in the air when zenitsu was near him. the time it took to cut the thing would have propelled him forward at the same speed as zenitsu.

I love this episode, truly the flashiest episode of all, the animation is god tier.

Mind you, great animation cannot improve the plot, which however is on the mangaka, not the animators.

That said, Inosuke instinctively moving his organs I am okay with, being a flexible instict driven beast is his character basically. Him being able to intercept Zenitsu however is dumb.
The other things like Tengen and Tanjirou being able to fight and beat an Upper Moon, can be explained fairly consistently within the world and power system(the power system becomes a wee bit of a mess but what can one do).

Also, Entertainment district arc is and shall remain the best arc in the series.

OMFG, one episode and except for the chills it brought me rollercoaster of emotions. 10/10 EP as for me. At the beginning I thought that one of these two Uzui/Inosuke died but while Tanjiro fighting and Uzui showed up I was so happy, later when Inosuke jumped out of nowhere I was crying like a baby. Unfortunately ending put me again in front of the question whether they survived or not. Thanks Goodness that next episode will be 20 minutes longer than usually.

It looks like I fell in love with demon slayer during this episode. But mind you, only for the wrong reasons XD It is so bombastic and fun, but the storytelling is so trashy beyond imagination. It takes some serious balls to make plot armour this thick and pull it off like those chads at ufotable.
