| Shinigazuwa is so annoying, like it is one thing to hate demons and that in the Kimetsu no Yaiba universe is fair as most tend to prey on humans, but to take it that far is just not ok, like Shinobu tends to be the most realistic reaction wise imo, she at first wanted to kill nezuko and is still apprehensive yet does not cause an unnecessary scene. I'm not one to say they should accept demons easily as they have most likely seen the terror they can cause, however, being more so calm and collected about the situation would be better, they were in bright sunlight and therefore there was no danger of Nezuko doing anything. |
 |
| well speaking more serious was a terrible choice of the seiyu of Himejima voice characterization is too thick and in my mind rumbles the Shogun-Kayo, and nigerundayo smokey AND Tadakuni-KUN |
 |
| Respecting the Pillars, I like their wacky and flashy designs and I really want to see how they fight. Personality wise, honestly the only ones who have called my attention are Snake and Wind Pillar, for being the least nice out of them. Rest of them were just okay, though I admit that I found Love Pillar, Sugita Pillar and Mist Pillar kinda amusing. Love the top tier voice actors too, though I gotta feel sorry for Tomokazu Seki, however. Between this and Fire Force, he's probably giving voice to two of the most hated characters this season. Also, I find weird how so far everyone is hating the Pillars, considering how manga readers are talking wonders about them. I know they probably will be awesome later, but the first impression couldn't have been any worse (and I'm not speaking on my behalf, I more or less liked them through the episode). Kinda reminded me of the Shinigami from Bleach, who were a bunch of assholes at the beginning, but everyone came to love them as the series progressed, to the point of being more popular than the main characters themselves. |
 |
| OMFG that episode felt like 10 minutes long... the end credits came on and i was like "Wait, what?!" I have an immediate hatred for Sanemi... how are he harm Nezuko and Tanjiro?! BASTARD! My love for Tomioka doubled this episode... such a stand up guy *cried happy tears* I felt really sorry for Tanjiro this episode because he's helplessness was palpable and i felt so tense just watching him struggle to save Nezuko without actually being able to take action |
 |
| People don't seem to get that get that what really turned most people off about the pillars was how wind pillar dude handled the situation and how most of them were handling it. Shinobu was by far the most sane one among them asking Tanjiro the full story first and love pillar girl telling them that its better to wait for their master. They could have handled this in a more calmer way, most of them were acting like kids, especially wind boy. |
  |
| Not really a fan of these new guys or their designs. Though the white guy looks cool. Poor Tanjiro and Nezuko. That was ugly cliffhanger. |
WorldoverHeaven said: 3 people 1. one water pillar who nobody likes 2.some former water pillar who most don't know 3.some 16 year old child who couldn't rationally explain the situation pillars respect the command its just that demons have been fighting humans for who knows how long and even the master was 50/50 on this one You do realize the "master" is the one that told them he allowed it and wants the other guys to follow his decision right? Nice respecting the command there. Next time at work, when your Boss tells you to do something, said you can't because you want to do something else. Lets see how that goes. But again, the "master" is stupid too, he's literally not doing anything to support his own decisions... and just let the other dudes do whatever they want. Which is probably why they don't give a shit about command in the first place, LUL Also, pretty sure everyone in the corp knows of the "former hashira"... since in previous episodes ppls all instantly know of the name Urokodaki and respected his decisions, which leds us to believe Urokodaki was somewhat famous in the corp before he retired. It was literally cause of Urokodaki, that the "master" respected and decided to let Tanjiro travel with Nezuko. ___ ___ ___ And "no one likes" Tomioka... LUL, cause he's the only one that's not purely bias toward Demons just like Urokodaki. And as said, the other guys are all very bias toward Demons except for the Pink Hair girl. (the only one that followed the chain of command) Seems like everyone but the Water Hashira are completely bias toward Demons regardless if they're good or evil. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| amazing episode!!! so looking forward to the next one! |
| The first episode where there isn't really any fighting. I'm liking Kanjiro. That cliffhanger... Episode felt like 5 minutes. Which annoys me as much as the cliffhanger. |
| Here's my first impression on the Pillars: The Flame Pillar: The Flashy/Passionate one(I like him already) The Sound Pillar: The Flamboyant one The Love Pillar: The girly girl the loves everybody(She's cute) The Mist Pillar: The aloof/ laid back one The Rock Pillar: The Big Strong guy that happens to be a huge softie The Snake Pillar: The Pessimistic/Sarcastic one The Wind Pillar: The Aggressive Knucklehead type The Insect Pillar: The Soft Spoken one(She's also cute and I love her voice) The Water Pillar: The Reserved one who is very serious. Can't wait to see these guys in action and damn these cliffhangers. |

| I really hate that they ended this episode on such a cliff hanger, these last four episodes arent going to satisfy me. I need more demon slayer... hopefully the second season comes soon. So, this episode gave us a pansexual pillar aka the thot pillar (I'll probably regret saying this later) |

| Lmao! The manga readers are literally holding off the anime watchers and their hatred for the Pillars. They are all awesome in their own way, but only the future can hopefully prove this to y'all. Awesome episode, loved the introduction of the Pillars, and Headbutt man Tanjirou xD |

| Hanakana's character is so adorable... and hot! You can't end the episode there. It's evil! |

-Aincrad- said: ChiMur said: I'll cop to that. ;) The episode was designed to elicit a strong emotional response. In that regard it worked for me. I don't even understand why people don't like it I think this episode was just as good as any other one so far Some people didn't like it because the new characters were cliche, like there is any anime that contains no cliches Literally every anime does Also, people hate the hashiras for acting as they did, but who knows what sh*t they've been through because of demons Of course they don't just trust one so easily I mean, can you really blame us? those pricks were DISOBEYING the head of the pillars. I do understand if they don't agree, but some of them were just being asses because they wanted to be asses, that's just very bad writing. Don't get me wrong, I know they may have gotten through hell and all that, but if these highly acclaimed "pillars" are people that act solely on their hatred towards demons then that makes them one-dimensional as fuck and very boring characters. |

| I kinda understand Sanemi but the guy is blinded by hatred. Even if Nezuko were to attack him, it wouldn't prove shit since he fucking stabbed her multiple times. People who get pierced by a sword usually don't react very well... |

| These hashiras sure respect their master a lot, all very disciplined like. Remember their little demon slayer organization is independent, unofficial, and not sanctioned by the government, so I can't help but feel like they're playing military here lol. But still poor Tanjiro and Nezuko man and fuck that cliffhanger. |

Have suspicions, not faith. |
| ehh I can't understand something, reading the comments say that the pillars are stupid because their attitude. But Giyu in the first episode have the same actitud, he haven't belive in the words of Monjirou, he cut nezuko and trai to kill her, nd it wasn't until he saw that nezuko protected his brother that he changed his mind why people forgive Giyu and judge the Pillars?? |

| I hate this Shinazugawa guy, what kind of logic is he using... Demon or not, everyone would want to attack his if he stabs them 3 times in a row. |
 |
| Tomioka is such a bro. Willing to commit sepuku if Nezuko kill someone. I can't wait for the next episode. Cliffhanger. |
| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |

When he arrived Nezuko was on top of Tanjiro, and it was the first day of her transformation and family's death. It's not the same situation as in this episode where they are told she has never eaten a human after 2 years, and she's in a box posing no threat to anyone. It's the fact one of them impaled her with his sword, it gives off this vibe that it's trying too hard to be edgy with needless gore, it amounts to portraying the Demon Corps like idiots as always. In reality enough witnesses with credibility gave their thoughts, they could sit in a room and look at Nezuko being cute and shit because that's literally what happened in the story already. But yeah Giyu is a retard too for talking shit to Tanjiro in the first episode, it was his fault that he came too late to save everyone. |
| poop |
| The most powerful demon slayers, the Pillars... They look bizarre, but you can feel without any doubts that they are powerful and tough fighters. Poor Tanjirou and Nezuko. :( The episode ended with a cliffhanger, but I won't be surprised if Nezuko's gonna overcome her demon instincts and be friendly towards that Pillar guy, maybe by showing her cuteness. :P Master sounds similar to Kibutsuji, kinda. Maybe they are related somehow? And what is his sickness that caused blindness and that kind of scars/marks on his face? |

That's straight up torture, what do they expect in return from doing that? flowers? Give me a break, this is stupid. |

The leader counts. 1- Not liking someone doesn't mean not respecting them. 2-They do all know him. He's legendary. 3-Nothing much to say here. It's probably true LOL This episode just made my blood boil the whole time. HOW DARE THAT BASTARD STAB NEZUKO! I hope he dies a painful death. I don't get why it seems no other demon slayer can come to the same rationality as Tanjirou. Demons used to be humans too. Even if they do terrible things why can't you consider the fact they're still living beings that use to be human and were most likely all turned against their will. Even if you kill them you don't have to subject them to cruelty or torture them LIKE THAT BASTARD IS DOING TO NEZUKO! (at least that stone hashira doesn't seem to be into torture but he didn't stop wind guy either so he sucks too) Especially in Nezuko's case who hasn't actually hurt anyone. None of them can even use the excuse that they've been hurt more by demons and that's why they can't trust them. Tanjirou had like 4{?} younger siblings and his mother KILLED! He's got it pretty bad. Actually the argument I was waiting for the most was for one of them to say you can't guarantee HUMANS won't kill other humans either. That doesn't mean you go around killing them too. Humans are capable extreme evil. Just because a demons are a different race doesn't justify their shit logic. Glad the leader spoke up (at least a bit). It touched my heart that both Tomioka and Urodaki put their life on the line. T-T Assholes who can't respect that should be the one cut up -.- I also just want to say that although the Wind Hashira's method is a good tool to help prove Nezuko is an angel it's highly unfair. ANYONE put into an extreme condition can make a mistake. Injuring her, hurting her precious brother and tempting her with fresh blood while she's in a starving state is unfair. If you lock up a human with no food and leave them to starve then throw in some nicely cooked human meat and they eat it, don't accuse them of being a savage cannibalistic beast. You cornered the person. THIS TRIAL IS SERIOUSLY INVALID! SHE'S UNDER DURESS! Our lovely Nezuko anit gonna take the bait but even if she does it's not a fair trial at all. |

| This was by far the worst episode. The slow pace was so intense, this entire episode could just be a 4-5 minutes scene. The new characters are completely empty. They're just the personas of cliche shounen charaters embodied, which makes them feel so forced. Ufotable doing everything to make some scenes epic just didn't worked when Tanjiro was defending Nezuko. It was clearly suposed to be a normal scene. And since the characters are just thoses forced personas, the whole discussion about Nezuko was completely childish, making it so boring to watch. Seriously, is the show really gonna get any better in terms of storytelling? So far it only got worse |
 |
| So... Broke ass All Might Broke ass Gilgamesh Broke ass Bakugo Broke ass Phantom troupe snake man Thot-chan Aloof man Crybaby Monk Yandere Healer Silent Tsundere And that's the Hashiras in a nutshell. Also...Tanjiro gives no fucks about your title and will straight up head butt your ass over best little sister. |

So far it only got worse LOL the cliche character archetypes is certainly true but if you think of it another way maybe you won't feel as annoyed with it. I just look at it like this, only really quirky people will reach the top most of the time. They all of some bizarre trait that is what drove them to be on the top. You won't see a normal person because that's not what it takes to be boss at killing demons. Quirks are essential? |
| At the end of EP 21 I was like, "Hashiras, they look cool". But then, they are just a bunch of weird but strong people. Good job Tanjiro on landing a headbutt to the Wind Hashira, I love that part. Urokodaki saves them again by sending a letter, he knows them better than anyone, glad the Master accepts it. The part when Urokodaki and Tomioka will commit seppuku when Nezuko assault a human... that's pretty unfair. Then I quickly changed my mind after seeing what the Wind Hashira did to Nezuko, but they got a reason to kill a demon. I hope we got a battle for the next episode against the Hashiras. |
xZabuzax said: nope she's a demon and she gets treated as a demon,so torturing her is normal for them,sanemi torture her to see if she's really a good demon or not,being soft don't resolve anything.nanashi796 said: to them she is a fucking demon that must be killed defenseless or not, they don't give a shit if she's a cute sister, waifu or any of this dumb things,or if she hasn't killed or eat anyone in like 2 years,stop saying stupid things,before accepting her they need proof that she will never eat anyone,and sanemi's blood is the biggest proof. We all know they don't give a crap about that demon and they want to kill her but they are being biased in that decision. She's a demon and they want her dead, I understand that but the way they are doing it is wrong because they are doing the "shooting first and asking the questions later", she is probably pissed off now because they are torturing her and stabbing her and all, if I was a good demon I wouldn't be happy with it either and I would feel the urge to slap that guy for torturing me. The test to determine if she's a good demon or not should not happen through torture because even a human would feel the urge to kill the guy that is stabbing him/her or torturing him/her. He needed to do the blood test in a much calmer way without stabbing her because now she's all riled up. |
nanashi796Aug 31, 2019 7:47 PM
| The Hashiras really prefer to kill Nezuko off and I can't blame them. How dare he hurt Nezuko just for fun. Demon or not that was going too far. I like how the pink hair girl laughed at Tanjiro's headbutt. I'm looking forward to Nezuko proving everyone wrong next episode. |

This is not a good way to write a character who hates Insert enemy here that has to reconsider his point of view after certain circumstances. Beating up someone in order to prove that it doesn't represent a threat to anyone is as stupid as beating a dog and not expecting it to fight back. I know they won't just accept Nezuko easily but watching this edgelord torturing Nezuko just doesn't feel right. Most of these pillars are blinded by mere hatred, which makes them one dimensional, boring and terrible characters. What kind of a organization is this, if most of its members can't even take in consideration what their Master told them? ( Blame it on the Master too as he couldn't control his pack of edgelords.) Only 3 of them (4, counting the master) gave Nezuko the benefit of the doubt, yet, they didn't straight up accepted her, which is more realistic than beating the shit out of Nezuko and expecting her not to fight back in order to prove she isn't a threat. |
