Wow this episode was overwhelming, it had me on the edge of the chair and without a doubt it was one of the best episodes, visually beautiful and without a doubt very moving, the bond of these brothers is intense.

I feel more relaxed by Zenitsu, what good news that beautiful Shinobu will save him from becoming those repulsive slave spiders.

I knew that the damn Rui was from the twelve demonic moons, when Tanjirou found him in the previous episode, the boy knew the kid had something strange. Damn brat, his whole family was a lie, they were only demons who fulfilled the family role for fear that Rui would kill them.

Poor Nezuko, first she protects her older brother from a lethal attack and then she is taken as a hostage and she is put in a painful situation, tied with those sharp spider webs and the worst thing is that the damn brat tightened the threads and caused more pain to the cute Nezuko.
How agonizing it was to see Tanjirou's terrified face at not being able to save Nezuko, but without a doubt when Tanjirou used maximum concentration I thought: chaos broke loose, finally Tanjirou could cut the thick spider webs, but the damn Rui used his demonic blood technique and I already saw that Tanjirou would be seriously injured or killed.
That flashback was very revealing, we finally met Tanjirou's father, a man who looked very weak, but he had fire inside and that fire was transmitted to his son who used his family's fire god dance so he could destroy the damn threads and Nezuko released her demonic blood technique, which is also related to fire, their ties are intense as the flames, so with both fire techniques got Tanjirou to send Rui's damn head to fly in a shocking battle full of fire.

I was amazed at how impressive the battle sequence was when Tanjirou used the fire god's dance, all the visual and audio elements achieved a wonderful fight, it was glorious to see how Tanjirou could cut the head of the demon spider kid, that dragon of Water looks awesome and beautiful and when it turned to fire, the transition was beautiful.
The inset song was beautiful, and what I liked the most was hearing again the lovely voice of Nezuko.

A round of applause to Ufotable, this studio achieved something incredible in this episode, the result of hard work and long hours in their offices working for this masterpiece, they have my gratitude for this gift.

Definitely the best episode of the show so far. Like I don't even think that's up for debate. I've been kinda lukewarm on the second half and even I got chills.

You guys have to pause it at moments to really appreciate what they did.
Before the demon was pushed back, Nezuko was hanging above the demon and Tanjirou.
When Tanjirou advanced and pushed the demon back and to the right of the forest, Nezkuo used her blood art to save Tanjirou. If you pause when the flames appear you see that the perspective and distance they moved in respect to Nezuko's location is ACCURATELY portrayed and just that shot travelling is what really makes it GOD tier.

One of the best episodes of the show so far, easy. Terrific animation, fight sequences, characters... has it all. Amazing what can be accomplished when the show sticks to its strength and keeps away from the stupid comedy from the boar guy and blonde guy. Just determination and heart.

çoğunluğun da dediği gibi resmen başyapıt bi bölümdü, babasının da ne kadar büyük bi kalbi olduğunu tanjiro nun kararlılığını ve cesaretini kimden aldığını da öğrenmiş olduk,
böyle güzel bi aileyi öldürdüğü için zaten diğer iblisin de ölmesi gerektiğine kesin karar verilmesini sağlamış olan bi bölümdü diyebiliriz.

as said lots of commentetors this was a masterpiece, we have seen father size of fathers heart and determination and whom tanjiro get them from,
killing such a beatiful family, head demon must be killed.

I was in tears at the end of this episode. Mainly because of how fucking beautiful this fight was. Holy shit this was amazing! AND NEZUKO TALKING!!!! LETS GO!!!

Yo Tanjiro is my boy, I cant wait to see what new sword he will get. I have a feeling thanks to the end of that episode he didn't kill that Twelve Kizuki. We'll see what happens next week though!

This episode made me feel something I didn't feel in a long time, I love this anime so so much! I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I think the fire sword may be the "red sword" the blacksmith talked about, everything is getting connected. Too much for a single episode

Shame the bitrate was half as high as it should've been.

Wakanim Nordic has higher bitrate.
And CR actually has new encoding settings (8000 VBR) but this episode was encoded with old CR, for some reason.



Almost nothing from CR has ever been 8k VBR. Most sit around the 4k mark or lower(6k peak which is disgusting for action) still. The only show I can remember being much higher was Egao no Daika. I'm sure there's more, but it's definitely not the norm. I don't know why these sites don't just leave the files alone. All they have to do is add subs to them. They're making record profits every year and it's not like using a decent bitrate is gonna affect their costs a ton.

I clipped the rest of your quote off on accident, but God Eater was unarguably awful

I mean, the last two character focussed episodes were already pretty great, but this one? This one packed one hell of a punch.

Build up and execution were absolutely stunning. And, scenes with sakuga and epic music like this do not come often per year. Replayed that part many times xD

I also appreciate that Tanjirou and Nezuko got the victory thanks to their own abilities. Honestly expected Giyuu to show up for the kill. Noteworthy is also that Rui had a kanji for 5 in his left eye.

Really awesome overall, can't praise this episode enough.

was a good episode. ufotable always delivers in sense of dramatic impact combining fluid animation with good sfx and ost. this one was one of those

hardly can call it "best episode of the year" tho. people seem to forget how godlike episode 5 of mob psycho s2 was and it wasn't limited just to a 3 minute fight scene

A bit cliché, but it was a good episode.

Definitely, Only anime which had few awesome eps like that was DBZ 3 or so times, One pieces a few times and Naruto a few times before the anime became shit causing me to stop watching.

Today I learned that I can still enjoy a bit of cliché. LOL

The last scenes from Tanjirou's awaken power is really great. I love everything there!
Luckily Ufotable handle this series, so we can see a great amazing battle scenes!

Even the anime is still airing, i'll give this 10/10, if there's score more than 10 i will give it *0*
