| Cool that he can use their powerful fan, and Mitsuri is coming! Quite curious about her sword skills compared to other hashiras. |

ineser said: Hmm expecting Upper 4 Demon to be powerful.... He seems quite powerful. Not really challenged yet. |
| The battle continues. How Genya survived all those lethal blow? |
 |
| another great episode cant wait to see mitsuri in action next episode |

xZabuzax said: I mean Daki is significantly weaker than his brother yet it still requires Tanjirou to use Fire Breathing/ almost killing himself to even have a chance, and it takes 3 of them to actually cut her head off.Ventus_S said: 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) I agree with what you said, but IMHO, what makes that demon dangerous is the "gimmicky" part of it, just imagine having to fight all 4 of them at the same time, that would be a pain in the ass, one of them alone may not be that strong which is the reason Tanjiro is able to fight the flying demon without using Breathing techniques but fighting all 4 of them at the same time is another story. It's the gimmicks that make him dangerous. Let's not forget that Tanjiro is stronger now as well, he got more experience now, I did find it stupid how the doll was beating him though, I never liked this part in the manga and I sure as hell didn't like it in the anime either. Yet Tengen can instantly cut Daki's head off, and Tengen is considered one of the weakest Hashira. So my point is one copy of 4th Upper moon is significantly weaker than Daki alone, meaning a Hashira can instantly cut off one copy's head. So even with 4 scrubs, I dont think it'd really cause Hashira that much trouble since they can one shot one copy in an instant. I mean, look at how many times their head get blown up already... |

Also kinda tired that we now know most of the upper moons dont have this neck weakness (yawn) According to Muzan, Gyutaro could easily climb the ranks, if it wasn't for Daki, who was holding him back. If he wouldn't have to babysit her, he would wipe the floor with Tanjiro and others and it wouldn't be close. Meanwhile, Hatengu clones by themselves are not that powerful, but Hatengu himself is not yet at full power. You are asking for a spoiler. Which was forshadowed. Mod Edit: Merged double posts |

| bad episode. the muvluv cgi + 3d arrived. |
 |
I'm not looking the answer here btw if you haven't realized it. it just an Rhetorical question. |
|
| Wow, looks like we found Hantengu’s weakness. I’m glad Mitsuri is coming back, I thought she was gone for good after just the first episode. |
  |
| Once again, as I said in my post from last week's episode, the CGI for the goldfish monster was good and it had a better showcase of it at Tokito proceeded to hack it down twice to kill it off. Once again, while it's nice to see others here praise the CGI, it's sad to see others instantly dismiss it as garbage. To each their own, but still, there's too much CGI-phobia once more. =/ The fight against the multiple emotion forms of Hatengu was enjoyable. Genya's refusal to lay down after taking so many lethal hits was admirable and Tanjiro's quick thinking during his battle against the "Joy" emotion of Hatengu got him back to the building with Genya and Nezuko, but despite his re-appearance, it doesn't look good for him, Nezuko or Genya. It's a good thing that Mitsuri is on her way to help out, still with that near permanent smile on her face. =) Overall, I did enjoy this episode. Just like with the previous arc, the early episodes have less moments of top-tier animated moments before later episodes ramped up those moments more and more. I wouldn't be surprised if this arc does the same. As for now, the quality is fine as it is. |
| the CGI demon fish actually made them creepier. Hantengu is so strong than even 1/4 of his total power manages to give Tanjiro and Nezuko so much difficulty, I think just one of the 4 hantengu is as strong as higher ranked lower moon, just my opinion.  |

| Upper 4 is proving to be quite a problem for them... Getting to know a little more about Muichirou. Seems like we're going to get to see some action from Mitsuri. |
 |
| Weird episode. The title for this episode doesn't fit. The episode is cut and directed weird, randomly jumping from one scene to the next. I didn't feel excited/scared for a fight/character. The upper four felt quite weaker than the Upper Six, getting easily manhandled by Tanjiro. The good guys got some heavy plot armor. The background music felt misplaced and generally not in sync with what's happening on screen. The fight choreography felt a bit flat as well, along with the animation feeling a bit rough at times. Oh, and don't forget the bad CG. This is the weakest arc so far, the best still being the Rui arc. |
 |
| Still waiting for best animated episode of the season to arrive. Although, This episode was meh |
I read that people complain about CGI... PLEASE what are these people talking about?? The animation has never been better... it's even more fluid (so to speak)! I don't know if it's the haters or if people expect too much from the animators, in my opinion, it's best to let them do what they think because they haven't given up so far. |
| The title is stupid. It references a minor scene that happens a minute or two into the episode and is never brought up again. Also, Tanjiro...I get it. You want to return to where Nezuko and Genya were. No need to repeat it again and again. |
 |
| Not the strongest but their gimmick probably makes them very hard to kill. Understandable how they got this position. |
 |
| I'm a little disappointed because the concept and powers of this demon is soo up my alley but a lot of the scenes felt weirdly paced. I'm still excited for more demon slayer, especially with a cool demon like this one but I hope the scenes feel better paced in the next episode. C-: |
     |
| OMG Tangiro is lame af So, when are they going to start fighting like real Demon Slayers? 4 episodes in, one equivalent of 3, totaling 6 eps, and nothing of good demon slayer yet. Really bad anime quality, they're doing it just for money or what? Mod Edit: Merged double posts |

| Squealer: My kind are neither slaves nor beasts. Judge: If you’re not beasts, then what are you? Squealer: WE ARE HUMANS!!! Watashitachi wa ningen da!!! |
| the animation of this arc is lacking compared to previous seasons so far. 7.6/10 for now, let's see what would happen in the future |
We all have shit taste, especially in animes No one's right, no one's wrong  |
| The upper moon 4 with the staff keeps complaining that he's surrounded by idiots but he kinda got rekt as well Should've wait to binge watch season 2, and this season is basically screaming as loud as any of these 'comic-relief' characters for me to do the same. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| i'm genya shinag- no wtf you're bakugo, jesus i can't even get that shit out of my head. as for the detail i've seen that many people we're disappoint of tanjiro's expression because it wasn't same in the manga, but man first time? |
 |
| The fights were so intense!!! Tanjirou and Nezuko were really struggling fighting this upper rank demon! hopefully Mitsuri would arrive in the nick of time so that we could see how strong this female hashira is! 5/5. |
