I think Tanjiro is too op for this training.
@Eoussama Compared to the most of other Demon Slayer - yes. But we could see how huge is the gap between the Taishou era's Pillars and even so skilled and experienced warriors as Tanjiro. Uzui Tengen, ex-Pillar, crippled after his last fight as a Demon Slayer (one arm amputated, one eye is gone), could not only overpower several regular Demon Slayers at once, but also keep up with Tanjiro, said skilled and experienced non-Pillar member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

At this point the Corps members are being trained for support purposes for the Hashiras and main characters because most of these guys would probably have trouble against even a Lower Moon, so forget them lasting even just 5 seconds against an Upper Moon ๐Ÿ’€ they're all in good physical shape too with 6 pack abs so it's funny to see them having trouble with sit-up and endurance drills. Then again this is clearly more intense than anything they've undergone up to this point, and these guys probably just do basic patrol and low-level missions so they don't have crazy amounts of experience under their belts.

Also, it's interesting how there are no women amongst the general Corps members, clearly the Demon Slayer Corps isn't male-only since you have Shinobu, Mitsuri, and Kanao. Then again it's probably easier to draw a bunch of generic-looking males whose designs are slightly tweaked from one to the next, than to also have to come up with distinct female designs. Idk lol. Also maybe the optics wouldn't look as good, having Tengen also beating female trainees with his wooden sword ๐Ÿ’€

I know people aren't enthused about this arc getting its own season but I'm glad they're adding more anime-original content to flesh things out and address things that were absent from the manga. I figured from the moment we found out this arc was getting its own season that they would do that and that there would be complaints about it, and believe me, I was hoping to get through this arc quickly so we can get to the real good stuff, but if this is how they're gonna handle things then we might as well appreciate the extra content. Because without it, I guarantee people would still complain that we rushed through everything without giving us time to care about any of the supporting characters lol.
@thebrentinator24 The problem is not that this arc has extra content, the problem is the season focuses only on this arc, if it had been a 25 episode season in which it also included the infinite castle arc, I don't think there would have been any problems a bit like Jujutsu kaisen season 2 had put 5 episodes of Gojo's past and 18 episodes of the Shibuya arc, but seeing only one season of training is a joke because you already know that nothing will happen and demon slayer it is not seen for nothing, it is seen for the well animated battles like Rengoku vs Akaza or Tengen vs Gyutaro... lol

@Leon888 I also wanted this arc to just be the first few episodes of a longer season that included the Infinity Castle arc but since we're getting this arc as it's own season, I'm looking at the somewhat positive aspect which is that the anime gets an opportunity to flesh things out more compared to the manga.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I guess we're being subjected to care about no-name background characters that would probably be fodder when the real fighting happens.

Love the interaction between Tengen and Tanjiro now ^.^

Before they were senior-junior and now they are basically war buddies, they went through hell together.

I enjoy this anime original scenes so much :)

I want to fuck Uzui Tengen. Literally fuck Uzui Tengen. No other character can come close to relating to how much I want to fuck Uzui Tengen. There is no way you can convince me not to fuck Uzui Tengen. Fucking Uzui Tengen could not possibly be anymore me. I want to fuck Uzui Tengen, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of not fucking Uzui Tengen, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that I want to fuck Uzui Tengen. I want to fuck Uzui Tengen, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that I shouldn't fuck Uzui Tengenl is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and fucking Uzui Tengen side by side, you'd see no difference. I can safely think of fucking Uzui Tengen every day and say "Yup, that's me". I can practically see me fucking Uzui Tengen every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how much I want to fuck Uzui Tengen. I chuckle softly as I'm assured everyday that I want to fuck Uzui Tengen in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I've found my identity with wanting to fuck Uzui Tengen and I know my place in this world. It's really quite funny how much I want to fuck Uzui Tengen, it's not a hope or a dream, it's like a hunger. A thirst.

Well despite this episode being 90% filler which was going to happen because this arc is only 9 chapters you have to throw filler into it to make it a season technically and it probably shouldn’t be a season, but here we are. It was a good episode besides all the filler that was placed into it to make it an actual episode, seeing that Tengens training only was a couple panels ๐Ÿ˜…

The Ep was aight. I'm kinda bummed that Tengen is retired. Ya he lost his arm and eye but just hook our boi with a nice prosthetic metal arm and he's good to go. Jokes aside he'd still be more useful than all this nameless fodder being trained.

Damn Tanjiro makes all those regular corps members looks so bad compare to him, but Tanjiro is just build different.
All these regular folks ain't doing shit for sure against Upper Demon, even with training the gap are just to wide compare to Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu and also to the Hashira.

It's crazy how people complain about the training when the arc is called Training Arc LMAO

Another filler like episode, still 5 to go. The series is already generic and barebones to begin with, but this will defo go down in history as one of the worst training arc ever made. All this to then being gifted sometime next year with one of the worst battle shounen finales ever written, as if the genre wasn't already flooded with awful finales...
Ufotable needs to be freed from having to animate this monstruosity, hope they'll pick up something good after they finish this trash series

BTW, they been showing the Harem quite a bit huh... (and I noticed they all have giant ( \ Y / ), all of them have each melon the size of their head...)

I wonder if Tengen actually seggs them regularly, one at a time or all at once? lol (Where's that doujin at? someone must have done one right?)

.

Also... I guess this "Training arc" isn't really to train MC's group, but rather the other people in Demon Slayer Corp, lol.

Tanjiro surpass nearly everyone else in the Corp that isn't already a Hashira...

Tanjiro is just there to provide "pep talk" to hype up the weak ppls in training. Since we see him going from one group to another.

Fuckkkkkk man they’re giving the NPC corp slayers more character and this shit is making me so sad bc of what’s going to happen to those demon slayers in the infinity castle arc man why are they doing this to us๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿฅฒ

I went into this episode knowing that they only adapted 1 and a half pages from ONE CHAPTER and I’m so surprised at the amount of anime original content I was seeing for instance all the scenes with Sanemi and Obanai bc those 2 DID NOTTT interact with each other during this arc in the manga bro I’m so happy and thrilled to see all this new content which adds more depth to the story I love it๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿคฉ

I really like how it shows better how their training is, it's so intersting! I don't understand why people are so mad about this season, there's so many shounen anime with training arcs all the time, so it's nice to see that in Kimetsu as well!! Loved seing Tengen-sama and his wives again <3 Their chemistry is so cute! I'm enjoying this a lot!

More training for the Corps through Uzui, and Tanjiro rejoins the ranks, being ready more than ever. The Upper Four on the rise of survelliance as the training progresses, and the bet that Tanjiro made for Tomioka on the food speed eating contest, it's a promise to that testament.

Even to the Hashiras being kept busy thanks to the training, such as with Sanemi and Obanai, the feeling of almost hitting on Muzan's hideout gives them the pressure they need to fulfill their jobs for the Corps as well. Day and night training under Uzui proves to be a challenge for the regular Corps, and Tanjiro serving as morale helps to boost the group, even if they failed to do so, lacking confidence against a former Hashira. They just need the push to be better, and Tanjiro heads to Tokito's place next.

Onto the next stage...

I have a question. Didn’t tanjiro kill upper moon 6 in the entertainment district arc as well? Why did Uzui make it sound like he survived an upper move for the first time?
@SenshadouOtaku Ymmm. Uzui said: ''I heard tah you took on another Upper rank (upper moon). Yore a lucky guy to still be intact''

To me, it didn't sound like he was suggesting he survived the first time, but the other way around. he's lucky to be safe and sound after his subsequent battles with the moons

I still don't get enough how flashy Tengen live after his retirement. Glad that they span more time with him, and with his three lovely voluptuous wives. Really don't get enough with Nao cheers....

Filler of the content toward Sanemi talk with Obanai definitely interesting. Same as those 'four' eyes revelation. At the of the day, Tengen time is done, Muichiro next, and then what, ufotable?

The upper 4th demon showed up while the weaklings were patroling. Oof all of the NPCs are petty useless, huh? At this point, Tanjiro should become a Hashira. As an anime only watcher, I appreciate the fact that they added more background information.

Sadly no more Tengen, he's one of my favorite Hashira tbh. Tanjiro is a good role model and his enthusiasm helps motivate others. But the others decided to only be support characters lol

Tanjiro blazed through that endurance training with ease. The fact that he was keeping up with Tengen was insane, although Tengen was still winning. I'm not surprised Tengen wants to return to combat. Did that demon's eye say 4??????? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ. Don't tell me Muzan has managed to produce a new Upper Rank 4 already. Don't do that to my boys, man ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

Tanjiro's skills were so impressive that he made the others accept they would have to play supporting roles, but he also gave them the push they needed to become the best supports ever ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Well clearly the normal members won't be able to stand a chance compared to the main characters but at least the training is helping to motivate them to be better than wasted space and a burden to the people that actually stand a chance against the demons.
