| Slow motion walk for the win lol. Muzan really never leaving the Michael Jackson comparisons in the dust after this. By the way, I liked how Muzan just calmly listened to Ubuyashiki talking him through his family history and how much he hates him just for his existence. This man really is something of a villain a series with demons should have. Though was it painful watching Ubuyashiki knowing his death was just a few seconds away and how he’s leaving it all over the rest hoping they would be able to put an end to the misery which is Muzan.. RIP Ubuyashiki and family. Your contributions will be remembered. By the way, the cinematic feel(I don’t know how to really describe it) was what Ufotable was saving for this episode. Still, it's been a while since I read this part but it is as brutal and bloody as I’d remember, add whatever Ufotable added over that. I mean they really did go all out showing Muzan’s all mighty powers even in the face of him being surrounded by every hashira out there. Wow. The infinity castle is where it'll all end, and damn there’s really a lot of fights to look forward to. Anyway, this season as a whole was… never meant to be a season in the first place. I would’ve really preferred if all of this training was just a part of the multiple seasons dedicated to the last arc, though nah, they’ll make movies out of them. Which is a good thing from the production standpoint, but not for us, having to wait a good chunk of time before watching it in english will be..eh. When they can make a season out of eight chapters, they should do the same with the rest of 60 odd chapters too lol. |

| Muzan and Kagaya face-to-face at last. Despite his blindness, Kagaya senses Muzan standing before him—the demon his clan and the Demon Slayers have hunted for a thousand years. He asks Amane to describe him. Amane says Muzan appears as a man in his mid to late twenties, with light pink eyes and cat-like pupils. Kagaya remarks that he expected Muzan to come, driven by his anger to kill him personally. Muzan confirms this, expressing disgust at the Ubyashiki clan's constant interference throughout his existence. Now, seeing Kagaya in such a deplorable state, Muzan insults him as loathsome, indescribably ugly, and already smelling of a corpse. Really fail to see the point of the extended runtime, and clearly ther staff did too because no fucking way they replaced the OP just for us to see Muzan's walk AGAIN... like anyone wanted to see that uneeded dragged out scene again. Then they replace the ED with rolling credits with some images... great lmao. Though finally for the first time this season we have some decent pacing, which is a problem for once because now we're just in a weird place in the story to stop with us legit being in the middle of Muzan and Tanijro's big fight, or beginning whatever. Only interesting thing in this episode was, ofc, the revelation that Tanjiro's entire family exploding was just a setup for a trap. Then, dude focuses SOLELY on Tanjiro and completely forgets the Hashira even exist. Man whatever. The big showdown has finally come. It's time for the Infinity Castle arc to begin and for Tanjiro and the other to defeat all the demons once and for all. What a pointless season this was that could've easily been an OVA or hell even a movie again... which speaking of movies, Aniplex is dead set on milking this show for all it's worth, BECAUSE NO WAY THE SPLIT THIS FINAL ARC IN TO THREE MOVIES... FFS... https://twitter.com/kimetsu_off/status/1807432215812571284  |

| Even though this is the season finale, imo, this was easily the best episode of this show's season. Seeing Muzan again planning out his next move while the Hashira are moving forward too. Thank God we didn't get more training this time as that has been done for the past 7 consecutive episodes straight. Not going to lie, this episode felt like a movie, more than just the length. It had the cinematics and chereography. The explosion scene imo was done incrediblty well as everyone watched in shock. Tengen's fighting style is so badass imo, one of my favorites in this series. The looked incredible imo, just like from the first episode. This easily sets up for the next arc, and I'm very excited! |
 |
| Muzan keeps walking holy shit lmao That explosion in slow motion was sick. I’ve got to say, the episode definitely didn’t feel as dynamic as I was hoping for it to be, but they did a really good job. Manga content carried the episode for sure. Shirai’s directing is on a whole other level after all. I doubt we will see him for the movies, so it’s too bad that his last directed episode was back in S2. this finale was begging for him. the song scene with the two daughters was so well done tho, and the hype when everyone far away was teleported to Infinity Castle was beyond the roof. I’m also so glad to see those 2 seconds screentime of Kanao gripping on some building trying not to fall. I’m so excited to see her in action damn. Movie trilogy let’s go! I hope we get Heaven’s Feel level of quality for the movies  |

| Worst season by far as expected. Some funny moments but overall very mid. 6/10 |

| The ever-fazing head demon Muzan with his Michael Jackson slow walk of an intimidating scene seeing Ubuyashiki, the smooth criminal has come to pay the head of the Demon Slayer Corps a visit. A destitute leader in the face of an overwhelming leader, through both once hail from the same bloodline, only to be separated by their ideals: Muzan on pure domination, and Ubuyashiki on eternity. Even without Ubuyashiki, who will either naturally pass away or be killed by Muzan, the Demon Slayer Corps can still stand as one, ready to face the demons head on, because they have human feelings and bonds. As all of the remaining Hashira race to the Ubuyashiki residence, Kagaya deliberately set his residence on fire, and what a blast of an explosion it is to drive Muzan even more crazed. The sacrifice of a willful man, his wife Amane and their two children, Muzan completely misjudged how far Ubuyashiki would go to ensure that the demon head is dealt with, and even more so being surprised to see Tamayo rebel to the good side, being aided by the remaining Hashira to keep him down until sunlight arrives. It was a concurrent and perfect plan to have all the Hashira gather at Ubuyashiki's place for the final showdown, only except that Muzan has a trick up his sleeve to bring everyone into his Infinity Castle. HOLY COW...Ufotable continues to outdo themselves, even though by now it's obvious that animation carried the entire show. Still, I'll give credit where credit is due, and the finale episode before the long-standing Infinity Castle arc WAS FIRE and HYPE to the fullest. It's PURE AND PEAK CINEMA. That said, it's back to the moves ONCE AGAIN for the Infinity Castle arc, Aniplex LOVES to farm and milk Demon Slayer to ITS MAX. Better milk it, because Demon Slayer levels of Shonen will continue to absolutely crush the competition for the next few years to come. |

| Tense finale which only fueled the anticipation for the upcoming arc. Once we got the Infinity Castle trilogy the crying over this season will be forgotten...hopefully. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Holy....Muzan destroying the mansion everyone getting sent to Infinity Castle was mind blowing Rengoku in taisho 😭 infinity Castle movie!!!!!! |
| I'm not a demon slayer fan , and i don't see it as a top20 best animes either , But this episde is one of the best of the series and the year in anime as a whole , THE HYPE IS REAL. |
| A bit too slow in the first portion but this episode was easily the best of the 8 that dropped this season, had some actual intensity to it and it visually looks really good here. Such a shame that this episode had 7 episodes of nothing leading up to this. I still feel like a regular length episode with no opening or ending could have a bit better or at least 28 minutes with a couple minutes for the ED if the anime chooses to have one would have been a bit more preferrable since the start was too slow and the beginning and ending portions feel padded out. |
| Even being a manga reader and knowing this was coming this was probably the greatest ending to any Shonen I've ever watched (Yes I'm heavily bias to demon slayer stfu) the entire episode was directed incredibly in particular that sequence with Gyomei and Muzan fighting was animated arguably better than anything the shows produced so far. |
Reply to WilfredJohnson
Surely this is the best episode of demon slayer, if not the best episode of any anime
| @WilfredJohnson Watch out for the opinion police to come and hate on your opinion like your saying something that should get you locked up. |
| was a bit too slow paced in my opinion. also i found ost to not be that good. Still a very good episode |
| Best episode of this season by far. And thanks for the new wallpaper:  |
| holy fuck the last 10 minutes is hype as fuck the infinity castle 3dcg animation and camera movements are great again |
| Well, if you going to die, better be in a huge explosion. You cant have strong bodyguards, if you going to explode the place. I just feel bad for the kids. The wife was already all-in when married. Maybe is just me but, Tamayo got more beautiful. Himejima fighting was spectacular. For the most I'm happy the last arc is green-lit, I'm angry and disappointed that KnY is taking the movie hell approach. |
 |
| Damn Ubuyashiki blew himself up with his wife and two kids. Those poor kids, f***. But the way he talked about what he wanted to, guessing Muzan's intention and weakness while keeping his cool and calm and proceeding to blow everything, what a guy. Tamayo too going in with the resolve to sacrifice herself. The Hashira all united to defeat Muzan and Tanjiro's with them. The animation for the whole sequence was so amazing. On top of that the infinity castle animation/motion was just way too good. Ufotable off the charts. Great way to end the season with an extended length episode but that cliffhanger. Sucks we will have to wait a long while for the movies to come out and then be available for outside japan. |

| Starts again with Muzan’s walk. The amount of work gone in it must have been hilariously huge. It’s like Ufotable went all in with it. Even though Muzan is annoyed with Ubuyashiki’s small talk, he doesn’t feel hatred. 🤣🤣🤣 Even he’s being affected by Ubuyashiki’s presence and voice. Muzan even feels nostalgic and relief, much to his displeasure 🤣🤣🤣. Damn, Ubuyashiki kept scoring with his words, and spoke in lengths. Just like him, I didn’t expect Muzan to have listened that long. Muzan looked super pissed when the residence was bursting, while Ubuyashiki and his wife were with smiles. Turns out Ubuyashiki planted bombs in his own residence and did a suicide mission. With this, Ubuyashiki clan ends. Whoa, a Blood Demon Art to attack Muzan. Tamayo in action 😎. She actually made Muzan absorb the cure, and damn she completed the cure. Guess this is a goodbye for Tamayo. Himejima Gyomei smashed Muzan’s head. Ubuyashiki planned things out very well. Hashiras assembled, but I wonder if he counted in Tanjiro as well. Every Hashira used their breathing form, and then Tanjiro used our lovely Hinokami Kagura. Muzan knew where they were heading with this plan, so he shifted them all to his Infinity Castle. He covered a wide range. Inosuke seems to be excited, while Zenitsu seems to be serious. We got to see a short conversation between Tanjiro and Muzan. The BGM kept me so focused, plus Himejima’s short fight, I didn’t even want to bat my eye. |
 |
| Yup, this was the most obvious part to end it on, with the suicide bombing leading into Muzan dropping everyone into the castle. Also shout out to Zenitsu for looking badass during that part when one would normally expect him to be shitting his pants crying lol. Ok look we all have varying opinions on Demon Slayer but my god, we can at least all agree that these steroid animators at ufotable animate the absolute FUCK out of this series. The way the fire, smoke, and snowflakes looked during the explosion was insanely detailed, and that small snippet of Gyomei greatness??? Bruh if that's what we got here, we're going to be eating PHENOMENALLY for these upcoming movies. Yea yea this season wasn't the best, that's no surprise, and it being a separate season in the first place was questionable, but despite its ups and downs, this episode alone brought my hype back. Hope all the complaining subsides now that this arc and season are behind us. If the movies are as good as most of us expect them to be then I'm sure this season and all of the complaints and misgivings that came with it will be forgotten. Sure it sucks we're going to have wait god knows how long for just the first movie, let alone the following two, but I WILL be seated 🫡 I know they've got a feast cooking and we'll all be eating good, hopefully sooner rather than later. |
| 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. |
| Best episode, no doubt. |
 |
| Ladies and Gentlemen. This was absolute cinema. This is where the training ends and an all out war begins. This episode was legendary. Pure hype. Demon slayer managed to trend worldwide yet again. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| And, now we are off to the serious stuff with the announcement of three movies to end the story of this series. Can't wait to see them in the theatres. As for this episode, it looked great as expected tbh but expecting even greater things in the movies. Can't wait. |
 |
| Holy shit what an incredible episode, ufotable! Muzan, Ubuyashiki, Tamayo, the Hashiras uniting, Tanjiro and Muzan locking eyes, Zenitsu's moment. Wow, everything in this episode was amazing. |
and we have reached the end of another season of Kimetsu no Yaiba. I will try to save money to watch the final films |
 |
| I would say that all episodes are about 2-3/10. Feels super filler. But the last one is really good. So really hard to rate this season. 5/10? |
| The OST that went with Muzan's advance really was perfect. For a bloodline to spwn both heros and demons huh. The mansion's destruction was damm impressive. The master sure was quite bold with his strat. Tamayo's surprise though was excellent. Her expansion there was pretty grim though. But Muzan was every bit as lethal thanks to his extreme regen speeds. The Hashira's attack sure made for one hell of a cliffhanger. That and Inosuke and his attempt to snack. Can't wait to see the movie trilogy now. As a finale it had the perfect balance of action and lore expansion plus the shock value of the cliffhanger. Thanks for another great season Ufotable. |
