| A lot of action this episode, Tokitou on his way to save people and Tanjirou fighting an demon that splits in many pieces but it seems like he found the weak spots. Genya doesn't die that easily and he lets them show that, the same goes for Nezuko also, she literally blasted away an upper demon lmao. Looks like Genya is ready for another attack but Tanjiro flew inside the house with an upper demon and almost defeated it. Nezuko be having some crazy casting spells. Wow that power from that upper demon, both Tanjiro and Nezuko fell down and became unconscious. Demons are attacking the village and Mitsuri's crow noticed that and now Mitsuri is on her way to help the village, presumably together with Tokitou. The animation this episode was great as well, ufotable is knocking it out of the park with what they deliver. I really like the opening and ending as well.

Angry_By_Default said: this ep triggered me so much wtf first of all i dint even realize the love girl moved out of the village, i was thinking she was staying at inn cose thats where she was on the last episode??????? second, every1 was fighting for so long inside the inn AND outside, why the f it took so long to sound the alarm? they literally sounded it while the fishes were coming inside HELLO? then there is Tokito, he saved the blacksmith kid and he was like "Haganezuka is crafting a sword and u need to protect him so he wont mess up" ..... ok lets do that while the village is getting destroyed and every1 is dying i was pogging too cose all the previous eps were 9's and 10's and this happened, fml if i liked anything it was the scene with Nezuko and Tanjiro... which ended in 1 min, sadge Bro, is this your first anime? Flow of time being all over the place is like the most common anime trope ever, especially where many important events take place in the same time. |

| Massive Genya W. Gotta love his energy and no one better than Okamoto to bring him to live. Mitsuri on the other hand couldn't be a greater contrast lol. Demon Slayer not just shining in the animation department. Soundwise Upper 4 reminds me of Tanaka Alien from Gantz btw. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| nezuko went crazy this episode holy shit, same goes for Genya. Seems like he got something upon his sleeve. MITSURI NEXT EP! |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I guess bringing guns to a sword fight doesn't mean much against demons lol |
| Man this fight has been off the wall so far, Tanjiro is already fighting really intensely and has also had some great quick thinking moments, and I really loved Genya’s retaliation after appearing defeated at first, there’s definitely something up with him after seeing him fight, and I’m interested in knowing what but I’m too focused on the ass blasting he’s doing with that shotgun to care a lot atm lol. And it was nice to see Tokito defeat that fish monster, saving Kotetsu, and I’m sure it doesn’t stop there since that was just one of many. And that final scene, Mitsuri is about to enter the fray and I’m really excited to see what she does, she seemed happy as well lol. I also enjoyed the after credits featuring her as a college art student, very cute. |
| MITSURI IS COMING Well I guess its safe to say the Swordsmith Village isn't really secret anymore |
| Aight which one of you took Demon Slayer off Crunchyroll?? |

| Great to see Nezuko fights, she use her power with ease now. The upper 4 seems weak... They been slashed/shots many times.... But wonder how would they kill this one... Muichiro is actually cute... And he always forget because of his lost memories?.. well... At least he a Hashira.. Kanroji is coming ~~ I thought she would do her actions in this episode, I guess it would be on the next episode then. |
 |
| Upper moon 4 Hatengo is definitely giving everyone a handful. Tanjiro got carried away with the talon demon. Dodging and finding an opening to attack him. The moment that Tanjiro's sword connected to him is when he hit the jack pot. Tanjiro's battle IQ is growing and fast. He is able to adapt to his environment and think on the spot. As shown in the scene when Tanjiro cut off the talon demon's foot to counter the staff demon's electrifying staff. Saving Nezuko in the process. Genya also had some surprises up his sleeves. Being able to survive from getting impaled and shooting a shotgun blast to the demon's head. Blowing it off. Episode 4 is cooking the good stuff. Love Hashira, Mitsuru Kanroji is on the way to slay. Slay queen. |
 |
| Upper 4 pleasure clone is GREAT! The way he was bullying Nezuko was hilarious lol I love his laugh and the voice actor is amazing! |
| The fight was a bit underwhelming. I can't wait to see them oppai jiggle as they fight the demons. umu |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The 4 demon guys are pretty cool. Now we can finally see Mitsuri fight! |
 |
| I don't know if it's just me but I thought the animation didn't feel as fluent as previous episodes and the overall directing of this episode did not feel great either. I loved the first 3 episodes but I can't say that I enjoyed this one as much as the other 3. And also the scenes with the uppermoon 4 and 5 don't have the same vibe and tension as with uppermoon 6 or akaza. I don't know I have mixed feelings about this so far |
| yeah, when demon slayer focuses on action instead of comedy, it's actually good. this has been the first decent episode for me. nezuko was getting folded and this mf genya still using glock breathing lmao. see, demon slayer is unironically funny but when they actually try to be, it's hot garbage. mitsuri is on the way! |
 |
| Great ep, awesome pacing. Interesting battles. The Mist Hashira is really growing on me. Seems like a cool dude now. All I can imagine is Bakugo when I see Genya XD they should've picked a different VA lol. Also I'm surprised he aint dead. Maybe he's using some sort of healing breathing technique to minimise his injuries idk. Mommy Mitsuri is on her way!! |
|
| Genya is one tough mf. Gotta love Nobuhiko Okamoto voicing this kind of characters. Also Mitsuri is on her way. Can't wait to see how she fights and how her Love Breathing works. |
| Mitsuri in action next episode!! Go, go!! 😆🫶🏻 |
| Forum set + pfp by my aibou Rin. <3 |
| The CGI fish was rather well done though, I felt, and Tokito cleared that while saving Kotetsu with grace. But it regenerates right back, and its actual soul came from the vase, which proves that it's Demon Blood Art. Despite Kotetsu feeling regret that he called Tokito the name of "seaweed head", his plea request to him triggered his past memories from when he was saved while being brutally tattered. Meanwhile, on Tanjiro's side, his fight against Uroki exposes the main demon's weakness, while Nezuko and Genya barely holds on her defense against Aizatsu and Karaku. Try all the demons can, Nezuko tries her best, while Genya springs to life with his Amida Sutra, and Tanjiro uses the environment to his best to drive Urogi back to the building where they came from. And while Tanjiro has figured out Hantengu's weakness, his clones are not letting up, which leaving Sekido, Aizetsu and Urami, the entire swordsmith village is in danger. Mitsuri to the rescue, finally! She's gonna break expectations once more. |

| Feel like I have no investment in these upper ranks so I don't rly care too much about this fight rn but the boob hashira is here now to do some cool stuff I guess. There was buildup for the mugen train and especially the upper 6 that was killed last arc so ya. This will prob grow on me more but all I can say is I'm mainly excited to see the rank 3 dude (maybe 2 I can't remember) from the end of mugen train to come back and have a square off with Tanjiro. |
| CGI was fine, it was better than in Mugen Train, other than that the fight is entertaining but i gotta say, this Upper Moon isnt cool or interesting at least so far |
 |
| 10/10 episode I love the upper rank demon that can split into more of itself! And Tanjiro being able to think that quickly was so cool. Only thing i hate is how short each episode is because I just wanna know whats gonna happen! |
My Candys!     |
| What a terrible episode. You can clearly see the drop in animation quality during the fight. A lot of them were stills animation, and holy fuck Tanjiro wouldn't fucking shut up about how close Nezuko and Genya were, like 3 fucking times he repeated the same shit. Not sure if the production wanted to extend the running time with useless redundant shit or what. Very poorly done episode. |
 |
| I have not read the manga, so all I can say is it's good enough to be the satisfaction for today. |
| Tbh the buildup of Upper 4 and 5 feel rather lazy.. They just.. showup... No buildup or anything, no suspense. Compare to Upper 6, they not only feel weaker in general (no aid of Hashira and they able to last this long), Tanjirou doesn't even use any breathing technique, just swinging the sword is enough to fight one of them off which kinda show that this thing is kinda weak. They also talk way too much, waiting for counter attack and keep getting blown off head.. The has a very childish/cartoon-ish fighting choreography. And those inner self talking of Tanjirou, it never stop. Upper 6 male part can straight up kill any of none Hashira in one blow, and it has poison on top of its blade... Upper 4 straight up feel like those old battles of Tanjirou fighting some random demons ... Also kinda tired that we now know most of the upper moons dont have this neck weakness (yawn) |

| They held out pretty well against an upper. |
| At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if after episodes like this people still rate the season a 10/10 after we possibly get some unlimited budget animation fight scene later… happened with previous seasons too |
 |
| this has to be the most boring season. everything is so eh.this episode was the eh-est of them all. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
amazingjoe said: That was my problem with Season 2 too, the concept of these Upper Moons fights is enticing, but they really overstay their welcome recently. The Lower Moon fight in S1 was really long but also well scripted, and the Mugen Train Upper Moon fight could be considered too short but I really enjoy it in retrospect to S2 and S3. I struggle to see why this series is good, in the last 4 episodes so little of value has happened it could've probably been condensed into 1 or 2 episodes. |
