Right, so what i said is true then. The main cast just have some magical training that no other person in the Demon Corps has that allows them to continually dodge billions of spiders. Convenient plot armor.


yeah man the main cast being stronger than random characters is plot armor.


If it's not adequately explained within the context of the fictional universe being portrayed, yes obviously. Like even simple shows like Dragonball can explain why Goku is stronger than your average human, this should not be hard to do.

This show would be so much better without those unnecessary comic reliefs and exaggerated screaming. I believe it actually was like that for some of the first episodes and that's what drew me in in the first place. Right now I can't take anything seriously anymore. Instead of being invested in what's happening I just think, oh well, now we have to be sorry for this disposable spider demon and her sad backstory. Thanks, stupid boar-face and yellow crybaby for ruining all the mood, now I just don't care.
I've heard about amazing spider arc and that's why I decided to continue watching, but it was ok, I guess? Nothing spectacular. Maybe there's still some awesomeness to come... I'll still watch it but the show is pretty much degraded already from having lots of potential to be just slightly above average and meh.


At the end of the day, you gotta remember that this series is a Shonen jump anime/manga. Heck a lot battle shonen are gonna behave the same way, Im the opposite of your view and I feel the show wouldn't be easy to digest if without the comical moments and crazy overreactions of the characters.

You know the author is great at making antagonistic characters sympathetic, when a demon who has killed several humans and snapped the necks of the almost surviving ones is forgiven by the protagonist and most of the fans.

I barely see anyone feel remorse for the humans compared to the demon, GREAT EPISODE!

Nice teamwork between Inosuke and Tanjiro, I was really impressed! That monster's death was a little bit sad though.

Can't wait for Tanjiro to slay the father this time, and probably he's one of the twelve Kizuki.

Did... did you want to see Inosuke stabbing little tiny spiders the again that much?

Also I don't know what the heck your talking about with strings connecting instantly, they didn't, they took a moment and it was on people who were unconscious, of course they'd reattach rather quickly.

Plus it wasn't really a solution, they quickly realized that last episode, it was really just them figuring out how the people were being controlled, which allowed them to better understand the situation.

They've done a pretty good job explaining everything so far, you just weren't paying attention.

Also, probably yes, the main cast was probably taught things other members of the demon corps weren't, we saw Tanjiro go through his training... alone... with nobody else... and we see what he's capable of now. It's pretty obvious he was taught by someone special, but even then, we knew off the start that he had a strong sense of smell which has helped him a whole lot. And we can assume the guy running around with a boar's head on his head probably wasn't trained normally either... And we saw Zenitsu when he's asleep... probably not normal training. If that's plot armor, then yes, they have plot armor, but they kind of need it if were going to get anywhere in an anime like this.

Also please count all the spiders that appeared in this episode and come back and tell me it was literally billions. Heck, go back and just count the visible threads on screen assuming 1 thread = 1 spider, and tell me it was billions.

It was nice to see Tanjiro and Inosuke fighting. I love how whenever Tanjiro complimented him, Inosuke has this sort of fuzzy effect around him, that was cute. I liked how Tanjiro immediately made his final attack against the spider demon painless after realizing she wanted death. I really liked the designs of the spider family, based on that flashback there's still a sister, two brothers, and the dad left to defeat. This ep was super enjoyable. Inosuke is probably my favorite character now.

I'm curious as to why they didn't just cut the threads of the ones who were being controlled? Tanjiro was able to cut Inosuke's threads but they weren't able to cute any of the demon corps members. Did I miss something?

They could cut them, but they would just get reattatched. The secret was avoiding the spiders altogether, like Tanjiro and Inosuke were doing, but the demon corps guys were probably too hurt and tired to be able to do that. Tanjiro and Inosuke only managed to win because they noticed the strings right at the beginning, otherwise they would've died like the rest.

They all demon, that mean they all have eaten people. That a cardinal sin that cannot be forgive. The only 3 demon that haven't eat anyone is the doctor'sassistant, the random man Muzan turned and Nezuko. Tanjirou might fell sorry for them but they al have to pay for their crime.

Why Tanjirou didn't cut the thread cause it re-attact too fast since it too close to the mother demon. He cut them and it just re-attach immediately.


I see, thanks for explaining.

I love how Inosuke gets caught up in the spiderwebs and Tanjiro can just easily cut them off him with a simple katana swing, but the minute some nameless Demon Slayers are caught up in them there is just no way too cut the spiderwebs/strings off them and Tanjiro just allows them all to die. Amazin.


Pay attention more or at least read the previous comment.
The threads would just reattach to them again since they are close to the mother demon. Unlike Tanjiro's group, those Corp members hadn't eaten anything for days and were exhausted.

WOW things got serious in this episode, Tanjirou and Inozuke had difficult moments to eliminate the Milf demon spider.

That boy Rui gives me a bad feeling, the reaction of the mother demon spider was enough evidence to make clear that this child is bad news for Tanjirou and his group, the face of horror that the poor mother had for just hearing the threat of her son, I'm thinking how terrible the father will be, although I insist that Rui does not seem to be what he seems.

The cruel way in which the mother demon spider used the poor girl as a puppet was too much, especially while we watched and listened as the bones of the demon slayer girl broke, but then we see that she is not the only one and there are more demon slayers in worse conditions.

Tanjirou has an incredible ability to analyze, finding a way to stop the puppets and Inozuke joins the party, but the mother demon spider murders all the demon slayers when she sees that they are no longer useful, the wrath of Tanjirou You could feel in the environment, Inozuke witnessed it.
The mother demon spider had a stronger puppet and Tanjirou and Inosuke had a very complicated combat, but Tanjirou analyzed the situation and defeated the huge puppet.
Tanjirou was finally able to find the demon mother spider and was able to eliminate her, but Tanjirou felt that the mother surrendered before the arms of death and Tanjirou decided to use a more subtle technique of water breathe and so the devil died in peace, the flashback of The mother demon spider were very cruel, rightly she preferred death and her past when she was human gave me a bit of sadness.
Before dying the demon spider mother revealed that among her family there is a member of the twelve demonic moons.

The random moments with Zenitsu lost in the woods were too pathetic, I felt very bad for the poor boy, but apparently Zenitsu is the target of one of the demon spider family member.

The scene of the death of the mother demon spider was beautiful, very well achieved in image and sound, the same during the flashbacks of her, undoubtedly an excellent episode.

I'm guessing they're going to use the same OP and ED until the last episode unless they surprise us in the next episode. It's not unheard of but most series that have 20+ episodes usually have at least two different OP and ED.

Inosuke is becoming a little less overbearing but he will redeem himself much later on. I'm guessing the Natagumo Mountain Arc will last probably up to the 19th or 20th episode. He'll get knock down a few pegs by that time.

It was adorable when Chuntarou decided to show up when Zenitsu apologized to him and Chuntarou trying to call out Nezuko's name.

Also, the part when Tanjirou decided to end the mama's life in the gentlest way possible after he saw her expression.

Good episode. I feel really sad for mother spider demon while she has a lot blood onn her hands and needs to be punish I still feel sad as she regret it and the way she feel scare makes me reallly sad.

Tanjirou is a kind and soft boy.Its good he give her painless death. No suprise coming from my favourite character in this series :)

Inosuke is funny lol and moronic as usual. I thought he is becoming Less nuisance and annoying. Pretty funny lol

Zenitsu lame as usual and pathectic this episode. Everything this guy does is lame and pathectic. Well seems a spider demon is chasing after him.

I liked the character development of Inosuke to give him some personality, and the coordination he showed with Tanjiro. This takes a huge step imo regarding the character-driven plot points.

Once again, the humanisation of the Demons is a great feature of Kimetsu no Yaiba that adds a unique element to the semi-common Feudal Japan/Demon plot.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.

I fucking love Inosuke. He's such a fun character. Tanjiro is more grounded but kind of boring and Zenitsu is just annoying for the most part. Inosuke feels like a well balanced mix of both of them.

The scene with the killing blow was amazing on everything.
I love how demons in these series are not "just demons that want to kill". There is so much more than that.

Im starting to fear that I could watch 60+ episodes of this and still be entertained, but that 26 episode mark comes awfully close. I really dont like continuing to read a manga in order to "finish" a series. I guess you can call my fear "the good kind of fear" since it comes from a very positive side hehe.

no wonder he is emotionally touch very much too lol

and damn its nice that the mother at least have a peaceful and none painful death even though she is a mass killer though (but out of fear from his demon husband it seems)

A sad episode if I may say so. Loved how Tanjiro dealt with the mother demon at the end of the episode.

I'm really looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully that demon from the Twelve Kizuki shows up.

Also how long will this adaptation be? I know MAL says 26 episodes, but I doubt they will get rid of 10 powerful demons in the next 10 episodes. Not only that but there is also Kibutsuji Muzan waiting for them. Does that indicate a season 2 of some sort? I'd be happy if so.

i feel so bad for this mother...
because she's a demon she has no one to turn to. It's not like she can go to the police and report domestic abuse. Poor girl...

Not sure if this is a plot hole, but why can't Tanjirou just take away all the swords? This way those controlled demon slayers won't be able to attack them (with swords, which is deadlier than fists and kicks).

Also, is Inosuke falling in love with Tanjirou??? lmao

Great episode as always.

Inosuke's random reactions and random phrases are hilarious at times.

Action sequences were awesome as always, especially the one where Tanjiro blocked the big puppets attack on Inosuke and the final attacks by both Inosuke and Tanjiro on it. 5th form was pretty awesome too.

I'm curious as to why they didn't just cut the threads of the ones who were being controlled? Tanjiro was able to cut Inosuke's threads but they weren't able to cute any of the demon corps members. Did I miss something?

Kinda felt bad for the Spider demon mom at the end, she didn't deserve the domestic abuse, I don't think she would've tried to kill people if it weren't for her family.

Why Tanjirou didn't cut the thread cause it re-attact too fast since it too close to the mother demon. He cut them and it just re-attach immediately.


Considering her relationship with her husband, how do we know she wasn't forced to eat humans? Forced to do what her husband wanted her to do, or else?
The fear when her son was going to tell her husband about the situation and then when she got abused and was supposed to magically know what she had done to make him mad...
I doubt she would have much say in any of her life.

Overall a pretty good episode. I feel like Inosuke's attitude is threatening to undercut the drama with his brash and uncaring personality, but he does have his moments where he realizes there is more than just what he thinks he has to do, which makes him more likeable.

And there's Zenitsu trying to worm his way back into the show and I dread the next episode having to deal with him.

Not gonna lie, "fluffy" Inosuke is indeed quite cute.

Fantastic episode. The way they handled the transitions between comedy and dark sequences without feeling jarring was very well made. And of course, the fight scenes were great as always.

And that last technique, "Blessed Rain After the Drought", was beautifully directed. How kind of Tanjirou in choosing a painless cut to release the demon mother's soul despite all the deaths she had caused.

And so, one demon is out but the most threatening of them is yet to be introduced. Can't wait for the next episode!
