Compared this to episode 19 of s1? This is better actually. The power of never give up and little sister for real are strong here. Its make their enemy deceived and finally manage to freakin behead those cocky upper demon and his little sister also worser. Zenitsu is so damn cool, using what? Godspeed, holy hell! Even though it may lead him into losing his legs. But, even Inosuke-sama manage to evade the death with the stab at the heart. Pretty sure Zenitsu also be fine there. Same with Manjirou and flashy Hashira. They will be able to avoid that blast. Right? Right? Stunning episode as always, ufotable. Keep the shit up....

So much haters around this top notch anime ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Im having a blast to those who tries to lower down our love to kimetsu saying animation is not everything.

What a masterpiece ladies and gentlemen. Best shonen anime i have seen so far in my life.

As fun as this is, the amount of plot armor and asspulls are just too obnoxious.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some shounen power ups, but this whole fight has been nothing but that.

Is Zenistsu, Hashira level now??

If anyone ever doubted that ufotable had already hit their peek already with how stunning episode 6 and 8 was, then you'll be eating humble pie in a heartbeat. This episode is a reminder as to why ufotable is near untouchable when it comes to the glorious production quality in their anime adaptations.

I guess the only thing that could be a legit criticism would be the over reliance on plot armour to help the characters, but it seems to be a common thing for almost any shounen-heavy power series to use, so I'm not really bothered by it nowadays.

With that out of the way, it was a rather tense start when Tanjiro was being teased, mocked and thrashed by Gyutaro after what seemed like his win over Uzui. However, the typical boastful monologue from a villain came back to bite him as Tanjiro masked his running away as a means to stage a last gasp fightback and it worked beautifully. Zenitsu started up again to focus on Daki, while Uzui got back up, with only one good hand since his other hand got sliced off and it led to a long sequence of sakuga masterclass in their fighting.

Finally, Inosuke joined in, bleeding but alive and he helped Zenitsu to behead Daki, while Tanjiro got his sword to slice off Gyutaro's head. Sadly, what seemed like victory ended up with a cliffhanger of a final attack from Gyutaro which devastated everything in sight.

I'm glad that the final episode will be double-length, considering how this one ended.

The episode was really great an fun to watch, but the seem to be speeding up the pasing. If I remember correctly they didnt implement a whole part about/with Zenitsu. But if you dont know this it doesnt make the series bad.

That was an epic fight, Ufotable carried again. They did a good job explaining "Uzui's score technique" without a narrator. Tanjiro opened his demon slayer mark, and Zenitsu being a God-like. Inosuke can move his organs. That was a thick plot armor. And finally, the two demons were beheaded as well. This get so realll flashy.
I love the way they drew the fire, it's so realistic. And the background detail while Uzui and Gyutaro fighting. Ufotable never miss.
Great fight scene on Demon Slayer history. This is my opinion, Uzui Vs Gyutaro better than DS Episode 19 S1 and Rengoku vs Akaza.
Not a very good story but damn, the animations and the graphics are great as hell.

I can't wait to see the next episode. I'm so tired to waiting another week again. That cliffhanger... Ugh... (I'm still excited to see the anime even I've completed the manga.)
And I've heard the next episode will be 45 minutes. Can't wait.

[This is my first review of an anime episode, sorry if my opinion doesn't count valid or right to y'all.]

[Spoiler ↓↓↓]
I want to see the uppermoons meeting so baaddd. And I want to hear Douma and Kokushibou. I hope Douma's voice actor is Miyano Mamoru.

lol indeed very pretty episode, but like others said, too many asspulls ... from inosuke not dying cause "i can move my organs" even tho he was stabbed way before he realised what happened... tanjiro fighting for the 100th time even with broken fingers and stuff...

even tho the demons are usually annoying, i'm gonna be sad to see Daki going, too bad we can't keep her or the anime would become a different story

i wonder why the demons actually ask if people wanna become demons, can't they just do it even without permission? also, would tanjiro (and others like the flame guy from before) not keep fighting for humanity even after becoming demons? (unless they were actually bound by the boss guy who could hurt them with just words, but even then they would still try to beat him) would they not do the same job but with better chances of survival? about drinking blood, i'm sure they could be like Nezuko, or maybe have a blood supply without needing to hurt people

This and episode 6 probably saved season 2 for me ngl..I am surprised how ufotable literally out did themselves and managed to fix most of the execution issues it had. (Demon slayer mostly has execution issues from my pov)
With alot of anime original content.

I was watching demon slayer for only tanjiro though( i know seems stupid but my fav moments mostly involve him and i like his character overall) but considering the choreography, ost, and how the emotions were elevated in the anime, i am just beyond words.
I would say that this episode is probably on par with episode 19 or even better.
Well i am not certainly a fan of the manga, i guess i am a fan of the anime(i tend to treat those 2 differently). the manga is also very fast paced tbh while the anime fixes alot of these issues in general.

I think the episode as a whole was PURE EPICNESS!
I am so happy to see back also all other boys, Zenitsu, Uzui, Inosuke! And poor Tanjiro, so many wounds. :(
I had to hold my breath several times, felt shivers down my spine and also the cliffhanger in the end? Like WTF?!

I am speechless... This is just incredible!

To be honest, this episode is just fine. The animation and sound is always incredible, it's KnY after all. But this fight is bordering on insanity. Uzui's and Inosuke's plot armor was bullshit, i'm sorry to say. Like, i can understand what Tanjiro is doing, but Uzui "stopping his heart with his muscles" is so lame. And Inosuke "changing the position of his internal organs because he's flexible" might be the biggest ass-pull i've seen in anime. Aside from this garbage, the episode is just a fight sequence, and it gets carried by the animation (wow what a shock). As i said, i think how Tanjiro handled the situation was actually pretty clever, and Uzui fighting with a dual blade using one arm is sick as hell. But these plot armor moments made me question whether this show is worth continuing. I've never read the manga, but i hope it's good source material because animation and sound design like this should not be wasted on a weak plot. Pains me to say this because i adore the first season of KnY.

Don't forget that Inosuke also casually shrugged off the poison that was effective against a poison resistant ninja hashira, just because he lived in the mountains.

I mean, that's an alright way to enjoy this show but that's just not me. Even JoJo's, the typical "turn off your brain and enjoy" show is very good outside of that. But i can't say the same about Yuukaku-Hen

Damn. So much hype and sakuga went into this final fight scene that I was literally on the edge of my seat like I was watching another Demon Slayer movie. That cliffhanger left me speechless even though I know what's going to happen next. Ufotable has been knocking it out of the park the last couple of episodes and now its time to finish strong with the final episode being extended to an hour long finale.

I gotta say though, the part where Inosuke came outta nowhere, keeping up with Zenitsu's Godspeed and then proceeding to tell the demon that he can easily shift his organs around and is supposedly immune to poison (because he's from the mountains lol) was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen in anime.

What happened in this weeks episode was just unbelievable, I got to experience so many emotions for the first time in a while watching anime.

For me it was satisfactory and I can even say the best ep I've watched. Just tanjiro's not giving up, uzui's last second saves, zenitsu and inosuke's tenacity and endurance were all on a whole other level this time. And I can't get enough talking about the animation and the scripts.

We'll miss this masterpiece, but also be sitting on an edge waiting for the continuation.

First Nezuko voice acting --that's not more then a simple few lines. She definitely renewed the younger sister/need to protect vibes. Almost makes me understand she's not as overhyped as she is...almost.
So cute how they had Nezuko do the ED too.
P.S. not related -- but it just now occurred to me, I wonder if it was at all intentional at all the color choice between the demon sisters in comparison to the original siblings.(Green/Pink being on opposites of the colour wheel, but lowkey similar experience).

The episode looked amazing, but made no sense. Tanjiro has been on the grasp of death for the past 3 episodes now and yet he keeps getting deader and stronger! Inosuke can move his heart while being stabbed at Upper Moon levels of speed. Oh yeah, and poison immunity because reasons.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Animation can only do so much, it can't hide any poor plot developments.

Plus Ultra amiright? But also I assume his plot armor is heavily engrained in the fire technique. It seems demonic.

You know how successful a series is when the main argument the haters have about it is that "a anime adaptation has great animation" hahahaha, the ironic thing is that these same people would be bashing the anime for having poor animation quality if was the opposite.

People can go blah blah blah as much they want about "plot armor" but in the end no one really cares, it's a battle shounen, and all of them have this at some degree, and don't even lose your time quoting me about being a fanboy since KnY isn't even in my top 10 of best battle shounens, just saying how things are.

Nope. No one of the main trio is Hashira level yet. You will see in the later arcs, the remaining Hashira are monsters, especially Muichiro, Iguro, Gyomei and Sanemi.

Phew, just when you thought we're finally going to defeat those demons, boom, something goes wrong. Man, Tanjirou's injuries especially the jaw one, like OUCH. Tanjirou may have refused being a demon, but man, he literally lookin' like a demon.
And the animation during Uzui vs Gyu was GODTEIR. Cannot express enough about how well and smooth and clean the animation was.
AOT + DS smashin! Both were good for me this week.
Cannot wait for the 45 minute episode next week
