Judgment526 said: HereticHunter said: I realized something after realizing how stupid was that Shinobu had to kill demons with venom. Inosuke is just plain retarded, he just made his swords useless by shaping them like that. It may look cool but it isn't practical as his swords are now technically useless. They aren't useless though. His serrated blades tear and shred. They complement his fighting style quite well. Demon Slayer's swords are supposed to slash swiftly and behead demons, his style might have "worked" with weak demons, but once he fought against stronger ones it was clear that the shape of it wasn't practical. Usually enemies wouldn't wait for him to hit them with his swords repeatedly to rip off them, if his sword were to get stuck in the flesh then he's done for. |

| Demon Slayer Mamako. And of course Ai Kayano would Ara Ara. Shinobu is great, though it's really sad that she takes that personality from her dead sister :'( This was cute. |

| Hmm its nice that the three girls finally get names. The method that Tanjirou chose to help to assist in his training though sure was an unusual one. Shinobu and Tanjirou's little tag team in trying to get Zenitsu and Inosuke to train together sure was amusing. The insight into how Kanao met Kanae and Shinobu though was pretty insightful. Shinobu's way of getting Kanao away from her master sure was fun. I guess all swordsmiths are sensitive to mood swings when seeing their prized creations being hammered. Tanjirou's training though really is starting to bear fruit much to Kanao's surprise. Overall a calm ep that nonetheless did well in showing just how much stronger Tanjirou's training has made him while also introducing some expansion into Kanao's character via her shared past with Shinobu and Kanae. Looks the last ep will be a combat focused one judging by the train demon. |

| Loved this episode. Tanjir's training, the boys getting their act together, the hint of Kanao being into Tanjiro. When Haganezuka tried to knife Tanjiro just as he imagined before, I laughing so hard. Already going to miss this series. At the beginning I was doubtful but it really grew on me. |
 |
| Finally, more info about Kanao, even showing more emotion this time, I like her. I like Shinobu even more now, such a waifu. Nice to see that Tanjiro improved, and Zenitsu & Inosuke are now working hard. The cliffhanger annoys me... One more episode to go, I'll miss this. |
| Great episode! ( Shinobu as a teenager <3) I can't wait to see the train arc. |
HanCoo said: It was cool to see how far Tanjirou came in his training and hearing Nezuko encourage her brother was so sweet! I am a little concerned for the last episode though. It looks like they're starting a new arc, but will they even have time? I haven't read the manga so I don't know how long tis arc is but how much can they actually get through? No, there isn't enough time to cover another arc. They are merely teasing things to come. There's another pretty important scene in the butterfly estate that should be shown in the next episode too, as well as a certain gathering, so expect the season to end right around the time Tanjiro begins his next mission. The meat of the next arc will be covered in season 2 if it happens. |
| Another decent episode. 4/5. Some nice touches with Kanae/Shinobu's relationship. You get the feeling she's taken on her dead sister's persona as a way of honouring her as she was a different person back when Kanae was alive. You can see she finds it difficult though as Tanjiro notices the mask slipping occasionally. Confirms her as best girl on the show. Nice to see an introduction to the next arc as well. |
Lelouch0202 said: Great episode as always, will be saddened to see this end but I hope a second season is on the horizon. It is a WSJ series so maybe it's already been greenlit. Every episode just make me like her more and more, Shinobu is best girl. <3 I loved how she edged on Inousuke and Zenitsu. The training stuff was super fun to watch especially when Tanjiro beat Kanao which fueled Inouske and Zenitsu. Felt bad for little Kanao, her parents just solder her off. :( Younger Shinobu is just as good as the older one. <3 From the producers said, we just need to keep supporting the anime, until now they were very thankful for the support so season 2 is more than likely to happen. |
| Kanao had such a bad backstory, i am glad Shinobu and her sister rescued her. What an adorable and cute trio! Shinobu cheering up inozuke and Zenitsu in diferente ways was awesome! Tanjirou improved a lot, and was able to defeat kanao after so much training! kanao is so adorable, damn, is she interested in Tanjirou! Looking forward next episode, i dont want it to be the last one! :( |
 |
| Yasss yasss yassss!!! The Demon Train is finally here. I didn't expect that one to come out this episode but it was definitely a nice touch. They've meshed a few chapters together smoothly without feeling disconnected especially since Kanao's backstory was just an extra chapter later than the ones adapted in this episode. I'm always down for these additional scenes ufotable put in the anime especially Tanjirou talking with Nezuko scenes. It's a very heartwarming moment just him saying his thoughts to his sister. I'm very satisfied. As expected, this season is going to end in a cliffhanger. I can already imagine the anime will end just when Tanjirou, Zenitsu and Inosuke are about to board the train. A certain someone will also make his appearance in the next episode. Anyway, I'm already calling it. Next episode's Taisho Secret is an announcement for season 2 slated for 2020. |
 |
| So they adapted the special chapter of the backstory of Kanao,i really ship Kanao x Tanjirou,Tanjirou is the special Man in Kanao's life with whom she is hinted to fall in love in future in this episode. |

| Only one episode left I wonder how strong Tanjiro's father was... and seems fire breathing is different from flame, Shinobu cheering for Zenitsu and Inosuke was so cute to see, and those Trio were just adorable as ever. Kanao backstory was sad, seen quite a lot of these and since it was so short didn't have much impact on me. Tanjiro mastering this constant breathing technique probably making him close to a level of Hashira. Only One EP left already feel sad if no new announcement I'm gonna go for the manga. |
| Another good improvization from ufotable . They didn't stick to the order in manga . But, they make the order become more logical. Seiyuu of Kanae, Shinobu's sister, is something that I didn't expect. She is so damn good . Very sad that she only appeared in this episode |
| I'm glad Tanjiro has finished his training, cannot wait for the next mission. Also I think Kanao has a crush on him, how sweet. Speaking of Kanao, that was a sad backstory, but it was too quick to end though. The writers should have capitalized on that story, after all I'm not in any rush since the story is far from being over. Mr Haganezuka and Kanamori really made my week, :-D :-D :-D :-D |

| More fun with this episode. Tanjiro's fans are so adorable and it was quite hilarious to see a jealous Zenitsu. And hahaha, Shinobu knows how to motivate the guys. And I hope they really end with that certain scene that is like predestined to be a great cliffhanger and announce a second season immediately. |

| Is Nezuko learning how to communicate telepathically? I don't like how Shinobu conveys her message like she's going to die. It's like she's raising a flag of some sort. |

| Great episode, only one left... i hope for a S2 |
 |
| Great start of the episode with carpet beaters. I loved that a lot. Tanjiro is still working hard and I am surprised neither of the other guys are as motivated as Tanjiro, well up to a certain point this episode when Shinobu started motivating them.... I want that too... Just don't let Tanjiro teach you XD "BOOM BOOM" is by far the silliest thing Tanjiro has said! Great to see more of the Kochou Sisters and how Kanao came under Shinobu's care. Seeing a younger version of Shinobu was great, but yet so different to what she is now. She is now just like how her sister used to be. Nezuko said something! Anyway, the episode ended on quite the cliffhanger. With just one episode to go, I feel like we might be left hanging into a lot of anticipation for a second season. To think this masterpiece is soon coming to an end. -Stray said: For the seiyuu lovers like me out there, Kayano Ai was the one that voiced Kochou Kanae. Kimetsu no Yaiba was already blessed with such a great cast of talented seiyuu, but reading that Kayano Ai voices Kanae... This couldn't be more perfect! |

| Shinobu <3, this episode was very fun and cute. |
| last episode tto go...I hope a second season comes though |
 |
| The last episode isn't going to have much closure is it? Hoping for a second season. |
| I thought it was impossible (and a bit cheaty) at first to do Total Concentration Breathing 24/7, but somehow he figured it out. And apparently his "Fire" breathing is different from "Flame" breathing and they're very specific about the two terms being different. Also I'm sad they didn't show Tanjiro's new blade turning black again. I don't know how they're gonna wrap this arc up without a cliffhanger |

It may look cool but it isn't practical as his swords are now technically useless. It's not about the sword, it is about the wielder on how strong they are, like what Urokodaki said on Episode 2. They are weak on Natagumo Arc, they still lack power that is why it brokes. Even if it is a knife, if the wielder is strong enough -- it will cut anything. That's all, have a nice day. Everything said by Urokodaki goes to shit when you consider that Shinobu broke this rule as she uses poison because her sword can't behead. Writer drive itself into a corner here. Dab1za9 said: HereticHunter said: I know that and it bothered me back then, his sword maker had the right to be mad at him. Demons Slayer's weapons are supposed to be made to slash swiftly and behead demons. His fighting style may be that of tear and shred, but it didn't work before at the spider's arc, why would it work now? Its just unpractical, specially considering demon's regeneration. The fact that he had to cut a demon arm by hitting it repeatedly proves how useless they are. Tanjiro wasn't able to cut the demon arm using his normal sword too so it doesn't prove anything. He was stronger than them. That's just bad power balance common in many battle shounen. Mod edit: fixed double post |

| Aww man! If only they announced another cour. Next arc is a really good one. Wanted to see it get adapted soon )-: |
 |
| I'm scared for whats about to come tbh _(:°Π·γ∠)_ |
| Poor Kanao;( Sad background of course my ship is here;). Shinobu being Shinobu(manipulate/motivate) of course this episode which always makes me smile. Always my favorite girl. Very different from her past self. I didn't laugh much at the comedy in this at the beginning of this series(because the Zenitsu scenes aren't hilarious to me) but I remember laughing at the Haganezuka scene and its even funnier animated. The Inosuke scene too where he's chipping his sword.lol |
 |
| Kanao is so interesting!! Tajiro and her would be a very cute couple <3 Very fun episode |

Shinobu uses poison because she lacks the physical strength to behead demons. She even says this herself. As a result of her physical limitations, she uses a sword designed for poison use, because that’s the only way she can really be an effective combatant. |
| I'm very happy that this anime is getting the Attention it deserves, and will likely have another season because of it. Wholesome anime where everyone loves it. |

That doesn't change the fact that it breaks the rule that the writer established early in the story. You can't just go telling me that the only way to kill of demons is by beheading them with these swords (Specially considering the training with the big rock), then change the rules because the writer wanted to make a cool character that uses poison to kill off demons. She has her justification because the writer shit on the rules HE HIMSELF created, and I'm not going to blindly accept it just like that. |

| I'm almost certain they'll announce season 2 at the end of next week's episode like they did with Fruits Basket. I like Kanao and I do ship her with Tanjirou although their interactions have been minimal. Her background story wasn't until chapter 59.5 which comes after the train arc and they won't be showing that arc until the next season so I guess it's good they sneaked it in episode 24. Nice to see and hear Kanae again. She's so beautiful and adorable. Young Shinobu was adorable and more hotheaded than she is now. My fave part was Haganezuka losing his shit and attempting to murder Tanjirou lol One more episode to go and a long wait for the next season. |
