| Off to the next Hashira we go. At Mitsuri's mansion, Tanjiro is overjoyed to reunite with Mitsuri, who shares his excitement. As he takes in the scent of her home, Tanjiro discovers that she keeps bees to collect honey, which she uses to embellish pancakes. As part of her training regimen, participants are required to wear revealing attire and dance to music on stage, followed by flexibility exercises where Mitsuri employs her considerable strength to push participants into challenging positions. After finishing flexibility training, Tanjiro heads to Obanai's mansion, where Obanai awaits him ominously. Finally adapting the manga, it seems. Good on their part, considering I don't care for anything about Mitsuri. Though I wish they gave a whole episode to someone like Obanai rather than Muichiro, but it's whatever. At the very least, we finally get that Genya and Sanemi interaction at last. Genya is such a sweetheart. His big bro is a total jerkface, so I feel bad for him. I was so angry when Sanemi seriously wanted to hurt Genya beyond recovery. Like, for fuck's sake, that's your only family! What the fuck is wrong with you? But whatever, anime original content is coming back next episode, I would assume, considering we have like 3 chapters left to adapt lol. Too bad Zenitsu is back, only good part of these past episodes. |

| Poor Mitsuri... not only she was a side character at best or barely present at worst during the last arc (even though she was so prominent on a poster) but her part was also devoid of screen time the previous two hashira got. |
| Gosh dang man. This episode was brutal. As for Sanemi, I have a good feeling why he is doing this. But still. Come on man. What is wrong with you? I am glad Tanjiro fought Sanemi with his fists. But too bad Tanjiro still stood no chance. Anyways. Next episode could be much brutal for Tanjiro and Zenitsu. XD. Glad to see Innouske, he ain’t even crying and is enjoying the training. XD |

| Another week of training arc training hard and eating even demons  |
 |
| Nice to see Mitsuri again. Though didn't expect her training to be dance training. The contrast with her training and that of the snake hashira really was startling. And man that training sure was hard and that sting bath made it even more so. Shinagazawa's training was as harsh as expected. But his treatment of Genya was just as brutal. Still Tanjiro picked the correct choice of action. Curious to see how the stone hashira's training would be like. |

| it was hilarious I laughed out loud to be honest |
| At least Mitsuri training is painful, but you eat good food. And then have the 2 that have a beef with Tanpachiro, in a quick succession. Was a good brawl, so good that now Ponjiro have a restraining order against him. |
 |
| Finally time for Iguro's Training and it's brutal as expected. I just wish he got a full episode. The way he dropped everything when a letter from Mitsuri got delivered was hilarious. |
 |
| Damn Mitsuri's part was super short lol. But lucky Tanjiro, getting fed pancakes by her. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME, NOT HIM!!! The battle simulation during Obanai's training was pretty cool. And that Zenitsu jump scare LOL, things got dicey pretty quickly during Sanemi's portion of the episode. Finally they've made it to the training grounds of my GOAT, Gyomei. Overall a better episode than last week for sure. |
| 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. |
| This ep was funny asf LMAO |
 |
| Finally no more pointless fillers 😊 They did amazing adding stuff to the Iguro battle and the episode was great. I was a little let down lately, so I'm glad we're back to track. I felt like Gordon Ramsay saying FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING FOOD 👏 |

@CorayyAnime If its not interesting why are you still watching??? Bozo
| @Dukino Dude, do you grasp the concept of people disliking one specific part of a show they like overall? They aren't going to drop the whole thing 4 seasons in, just because they found a short training arc boring. |

| the love pillar, snake pillar, and wind pillar training this time the love pillar is really lovely but ye flexibility is hell |
| Tanjiro that bastard, Mitsuri fed him, I'm jealous. Or not lol after how she was training them, oof. He sure had fun training with snake and wind hashira too after that and the stone Hashira looks like even worse. Good luck. |
 |
Oh, this brings back some memories from my childhood. It's how my teacher stretched me when I was learning martial arts. One of the most painful experiences in my life. Position they showed actually is not the worst. I remember I had to lean forward and teacher decided to sit on my back. He pressed me down to the floor with all his weight. I was shaking from pain, wanted to scream but could barely breathe, tears were coming from my eyes. I don't know how long it lasted, maybe 1 or 2 minutes, but it felt like eternity. I still don't know if it was a safe way to do stretching. |
| This was such a funny episode. Best moment though was when Tanjiro told the wind guy how he doesnt respect him either for hurting Nezuko. Damn |
| Cute Mitsuri and then the jealous snake Hashira, Iguro. LOL. But, Tanjiro had a tough time with Hakanezuka and his little brother. And, he was banned from going near him. And, his training also got canceled. But, now he's at the final stage of training. Looks like it is going to be the toughest out of the bunch so far. |
 |
| One of the best episodes of this season. Love it :) |
 |
| This episode had more canon stuff. Mitsuri part was good to see Next week is my GOAT Gyomei. We are slowly but surely witnessing more from the best current Hashira. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| The Wind Hashira should've been the one reprimanded for attacking corps members. Tanjiro just pulled Genya out of the way and protected himself. I'm excited about next week. Leave it to Innosuke to be enjoying the waterfall. I'm surprised he was allowed to keep his boars head on. |

| That went by really fast. Was hoping each of these Hashiras would get more screen time. |

| @MaahHeim bruh atleast said something useful and not be a dad lol |
| This episode was a riot, a lovable hell with Mitsuri, then Tanjirou's hardest training yet having him to try to avoid hurting others and that moment when he outright told the wind pillar he doesn't respect him, I couldn't close my mouth out of shock. |

So this is as far as I've read
I did see some spoilers besides this
But I'm happy we're done with 3 hashira in 1 episode
Last 2 weeks were brutal
Mha is peaking so hard I was so sad for demon slayer

| @akano I Mean DS is peak in their last 2 arc, people always talk about them while the HTA is not too much cuz it just training. |
| I'm glad they expanded Iguro's training. His breath style looks so smooth with ufotable's touch, and I'm glad to hear more of Kenichi Suzumura. Sanemi is such an asshole, but he's kind of entertaining. I loved when Tanjiro told him he doesn't ahs his respect for stabbing Nezuko lol. |

I'm not sure if it's this obvious in manga or not, but in anime you can clearly see that all hashira are giving favoritism to Tanjiro, to the point where other squad members role are to be just human dolls for Tanjiro's training. Sure, Tanjiro is the talk of the town since he's the only one that encounter several high-ranking demons and not only survive to tell the tale but also assist in defeating them. But at this point he's gonna be the only one that benefit from this training camp.
| @phantomfandom That was the whole point. Tanjiro is special and has enough experience to be at the level of the Pillars, the other guys sadly are just average people who simply lack both the talent and experience he has. There's not much they can do. |
|
| I was dreading the day we get to Obanai and Sanemi. This arc is fine but Obanai is such a nuisance of a character while Sanemi is just forcing drama because of typical Demon Slayer storytelling and expository fashion. |
