| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, Inosuke is a certain kind of badass. Even that laugh is hard to ignore. Looks like the episode adapts "Appearance of the Pig" chapter and beyond. There's also that disgusting long tongue demon who makes quite an eerie impression. Zenitsu continues to bring in the humor of this moody show. I do have to admit that when he gets serious, he can be quite a badass. I'm entertained by the balance of this anime tbh. |

| Whaaaat, of all the times, never thought we would get 3 chapters this time lol. Well, it’s definitely better this way Anyway, HYPE episode. Inosuke steps on people and causes problems to Tanjrou. He’s not much the type to think a lot I guess. Zenitsu once again hilarious, and the best part was when he fell asleep. It was quite intense. Gotta say the animation and the effects were very well done. Wasn’t expecting less from Ufotable. Two new demons appear, altough they don’t last long lmao. Inosuke’s quite crazy. Overall, one of the best episodes of the series. It pretty much sets up the tone for the rest of the series. So I recommend to anyone bothered by it to drop KnY right now. Zenitsu in all of his glory  |

| Fantastic episode as always. I love how crazy the boar head dude is. Honestly, the highlight of the episode was Zenitsu's 'awakening'. The directing and presentation were top notch, the battojutsu was incredible to watch. I got hyped as hell and Zenitsu was just too badass. xD So Tanjuro's injuries are really bothering him? :( I'm still excited to see what kind of technique he's gonna pull out. Soundtrack for this episode was fantastic too, especially at the end as Tanjuro assumed his stance. Only problem with this episode was there was no Nezuko screentime. :( |

| Go read 'Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece' If you like webnovel with historical, military and kingdom building genre. |
| Zenitsu is not as useless as he thinks he is! |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| So there were three demons in total, though the other two did not last that long. Zenitsu is a funny character, though he showed what a badass he is. |
 |
| Boar guy sure has a rather single tracked mind. The demon himself though also had some interesting abilities being able to change the layout of his lair via sound alone. Zenitsu while still as annoying as ever sure mixed well with the tension in which his scenes featured. While falling asleep sure was lame it provided the perfect chance for him to counterattack though. His serious self though sure was really something given how much it contrasts with his base self. So the main demon here was one that was evicted from the upper ranks again huh. An interesting ep that did well in expanding upon Boar guy and Zensitsu's personalities while also showing what seems to be a pattern regarding the demons that Tanjiro is encountering. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out next ep. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| A goofy and funny character turns out to be a badass guy lmao. Cool, 3 chapters got in here |
 |
| Woah! So, Zenitsu's ability activates when he suddenly fell asleep... XD Another great ep, btw! Can't wait for the next one! |
  |
| I like Zenistsu a lot, and his badass moment was visually stunning. Inosuke left me kinda unimpressed so far. Also the writing is really starting to show its limits when it comes to Tanjiro, him always describing the situation is a bit ridiculous. I know it's common for shonen to do that but it's the first time it actually bothers me, it just doesn't seem natural. Also pleasantly surprised it adapted tree chapters, the pace felt nice. |
| Not a big fan of boar dude and Zenitsu's loud personality but their VA's being Matsuoka and Shimono really helps me tolerate their characters, plus I love lightning powers, dude should stay asleep 24/7 if you ask me heh. Also noticed Boar dude being a 2-sword user like Kirito so there's that. Tanjirou is one good MC, the boy has really been through a lot, he really worked hard to get to where he is right now, not just in sword techniques but in heart and spirit too. Needs more Nezuko tho. Can't stress this enough but I fcking love the seiyuu cast in this show. Kito Akari despite only going "grrrr hmm hmm" with Nezuko and Hanae doing Tanjirou has really been one of the spotlights of this show for me. Stellar animation,art and OST to boot, pretty hard not to like this show with all of those. |
  |
| Nice Episode Zenitsu is really badass in sleep,his sleeping form reminded me of Escanor from NNT. Also loved Inosuke's antics this episode. |
 |
| Zenitsu's move was so cool. T_T He is like Cavendish in One Piece. :D papsoshea said: Honestly, Zenitsu and Inosuke have completely taken me out of this show. Both of them just unsettled the tone and atmosphere this series had and built over 9+ episodes. Yeah they look cool, and yeah their fighting abilities are great but the way they act, and their gag/one defining trait (so far) is really tiresome already. Yeah, I'm in a similar shoe. The boar dude is so-so, but Zenitsu's constant screaming, especially in ep 11. was insanely annoying. This anime had a certain serious tone to it (you can die anytime, demons eating humans like its nothing etc.) with the few humorous scenes here and there. And out of the blue we have a guy who's whole existence is a joke in general. Like cmon... |

Overall, one of the best episodes of the series in all honesty Zenitsu in all of his glory I nearly turned into a fanboy when this happened. I'm just like "wait a minute, did he just do that??!!" |
 |
| Ah man, these episodes always seem to end too quickly! Omfg Zenitsu's a secret badass or should i say a sleeping badass haha Then there's Inosuke... he's just fucking nuts haha Loved Tanjirou's confidence at the end there! "I'm doing a good job" boy, yes u are and u keep being ur badass little self haha |
 |
| The move that Zenitsu did was good but I still think he is easily the most annoying character of the whole show, so far. |
| Someone should give Zenitsu some sleep pills with long effect. I bet he would solo'd Kibutsuji with that. Looking forward to the battle against Kyogai. Even if he's not part of the demon elite anymore, he at least should put a better battle than the previous demons, though considering those two fodder demons were able to injure him, I will contain my expectations if the battle ends being anticlimatic too. |
 |
| So from what I've gathered, Inosuke doesn't really consider himself a hero like Tanjiro does. He's just looking for entertainment. He also doesn't seem to be very aware of his surroundings, given the fact that he stepped on Teruko and launched himself off of Tanjiro. However, the fact that he seemingly self-taught himself all of his skill is incredibly impressive. I want to reiterate how cool of an ability this Demon has. I never imagined this anime/manga would be able to get so creative with the different demon abilities. Zenitsu telling that demon his tongue wasn't natural was amusing. Who knew Zenitsu was so powerful? That attack was pretty badass. So Kyogai was once a member of the Twelve Demon Moons, huh? That teaches us two things. Firstly, the demon that was able to rip the tsuzumi out of his back is on the level of a former Twelve Demon Moon. Secondly, by extension, Inosuke is very powerful as well, because he was able to mop the floor with someone capable of fighting a former Twelve Demon Moon. I hope we get a better explanation as to this whole "Marechi" and blood quality thing. That sounds interesting. It's impressive enough that Tanjiro has lasted this long with those injuries, honestly. |
| Another awesome episode and oh my fucking gosh.Zenitsu was amazing. For that split moment he was bad ass af. I wonder if he has split personality or smthng alike that. Also the Inosuke seems like a bad ass too. |

So, Zenitsu can man up..................if he's asleep. |
BetoSCR said: I'm getting tired of this show. I really dislike Tanjiro, what a boring character, jesus christ. That typical battle shounen speech at the end of the episode... damn. We also got more and more lousy, cringeworthy comedy scenes. At least in the previous episodes, at the end there was a cool scene to keep our interest in the show. Not even that today. I'm not dropping it due to the beautiful animation and OST and because I was told it gets better later on, but for the time being it's just getting worse. Which part of Tanjirou is boring? Being nice and kind? Being a hard working brother trying to salvage the last part of his family? Is the only way for main character to be interest nowaday is for them to be edgy anti-hero or complex master mind. And his speech actually pretty nice, it to reassure himself that he can do this. |
this made Zenitsu's popularity skyrocket. but I'm sure you'll come to like Inosuke soon enough |
| When Zenitsu fainted, I understood he was going fight unconsciously and be a badass. However, the build up before that had made it look like he was about to swallow his fear and fight. So now, I have lost all my respect for him. The swine is annoying. I wonder why a lot of Shounen JUMP mangas have characters like that. I had already forgotten about Tanjirou's broken bones. The writer should've done more research or talked to a doctor to make the fracture feel more realistic. A bit of realism (like in Snk, Death Note or 'A Song of Ice and Fire' or even 'Harry Potter') can really make stories come alive. I am interested to know more about the kid with the special blood. His design looks so ordinary that it feels like he'll never show up after this arc. I think I am probably just curious why such an ordinary-looking character has the "special blood". I wish the rooms changed in a little more dynamic way just because this is animated by Ufotable. (Though, I don't have any problems with how they are doing it right now.) |
| This is why we do not invite Zenitsu over to sleepover parties |

Very overplayed. This show doesn't know what it wants to be tonally. |
| Oh okay. Zenitsu is possessed by a badass, but you know what's freaking me out, those three kids' eyes... I swear, if they turn out to be demons! The boar is great though, is the beast thing his breathing form or... in any case, when are gonna get bakugou the demon slayer, and is he going to be fire breathing. |
 |
| Zanitsu's strike was amazing. Love his character design and the lightning visuals for his attack, and the spinning rooms looked great as well. This show is really stealing the spotlight from One Punch Man this season, at least when it comes to animation quality. papsoshea said: Honestly, Zenitsu and Inosuke have completely taken me out of this show. Both of them just unsettled the tone and atmosphere this series had and built over 9+ episodes. I like Inosuke a lot and the voice actor fits really well. Zenitsu is a bit over the top right now, but yeah, they will probably tone him down a bit later. They probably exaggerated it a bit to make his first strike more unexpected and impactful (even though we had seen a similar attack in the opening). Looking forward to new episodes! |
| Zenitsu is my fav character by far after this episode, amazing scene 1000% badass |
 |
| This anime is so good, but the unnecessary talking makes me cringe. Seriously, 20 minutes and pretty much nothing happened. And all that crying and whining seriously piss me off. But the plot and action are so good that keeps you waiting. Oh well. |
 |
| where them gif at... |
 |
| Honestly, I'd prefer if it was always just Tanjirou and Nezuko, their dynamics were so much more fun to watch than all these forced comic relief moments. The damn crow is like the final blow. always forget it exists and it's always so cringy when it talks. I'm not yet convinced it's worth the watch but the last several minutes of Tanjirou's monologue were fine, although it can become tiring in the future if he keeps enduring, pushing through and pulling some water breathing forms at just the right moment to win, but at least he is a likeable character. |
| Zenitsu still gets on my nerves a little bit, but hopefully he loses consciousness more often in future XD His cowardice isn't as charming as Usopp's. Still a really enjoyable anime though, i'm looking forward to seeing where it goes. |
| I would say this was the best episode so far I really liked how it was balanced between the 3 demons and 3 demon slayers( not sure if the boar character is demon slayer). Zenitsu was hilarious and showed he’s not as useless as he thinks he is. And the set up for the next episode with tanjiro was also well done. |
Ten said: Honestly, I'd prefer if it was always just Tanjirou and Nezuko, their dynamics were so much more fun to watch than all these forced comic relief moments. That's it. Zenitsu is annoying sometimes, but Inosuke is just literally what i hate. Damn, please someone shut him up |
 |
| just lowered my sound to like 30% and i must say i didn't get as annoyed as last episode LOL |
favorite "new girls" from fall 2024 <3 (yeah i didn't watch much in 2025...) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Haha, falling asleep makes him super strong. |
