People can say what they want about Zenitsu, but the dude always comes through in the clutch when he needs to. He may only be able to use that one Thunder Breathing form, but it always looks cool as fuck.

But the real highlight was seeing some action from TENGEN THE GOAAAAAT!!!! It was brief, but finally seeing him draw his awesome double swords and getting a cool moment was dope. Also, he has some pretty um...exceptional taste in wives. They all look nice and healthy ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)

This episode definitely lived up to its title.


Tengen didn't choose them as his wives though.

Just writing here cause there isn't anywhere else, but man I find it hilarious that the 2 most "helpful" reviews are just people hating on Demon Slayer for no reason


Those people are just haters. I read their review and their reasons are just pure ridiculous. I had a good laugh reading those.

Sound and Thunder Breathing seem so alike and flashy. Feels like Zenitsu would pair well alongside Uzui. I hope we can see more interactions between these two.


Sound breath is developed based on Thunder Breath. There are information that wasn't in the main story.
There are 5 basic breaths: Water, Flame, Wind, Thunder and Stone. Most slayers learnt one of those breaths before taking the Selection exam. Some slayers developed their own breath based on the basic breaths. Tengen developed the Sound breath based on Thunder Breath. That means he was a Thunder Breath user.

"Maybe you should stay asleep the whole time" - Inosuke

Man I couldn't help but laugh when Inosuke said that....that said this was yet another good episode, Tanjiro's getting used to fighting Daki, an Upper Rank Demon.....meanwhile Inosuke and Zenitsu fend off against the other demon and now that Uzui's come into play I can't help but feel excited....Hyped for next week's episode :D


It isn't another demon though. That belt is Daki's ability. She can create a sentient belt that can act on its own and obey her orders.

Yep that cloth like belt thingy is a part of her but the way it was looking and how it was receiving instructions from Daki made it seem like it was a separate demon.

Tanjiro's gotten a lot stronger goddamn. He can probably become like Aang or something and master a few different breathing styles. Fire is more badass looking that water though that's for sure.

I’m officially getting worried about this show. Character power-ups seem to be coming out of nowhere and are only explained by flashback sequences that break the flow of the fights. Still no fights that have wowed me, too much comedy that doesn’t hit, and too many flashbacks. I really hopes it picks it up soon.

ya I kind of feel the same......it better not copies those crappy methods of shows like MHA. Like if you think about it the first season only had 1 flashback which was shown really efficiently without hindering the flow of the battle but for some reason in this episode the battle between tanjiro and daki was abruptly cut by that annoying flashback just to justify the powerup of tanjiro😐

Tanjirou's shifting away from water breathing seems like something interesting to explore in coming episodes.
Also now that Inosuke is aware of Zenitsu's thunder sleeping.....err breathing, some hard mountain training awaits poor yellow boy.
Good to see that Tengen has a loving relationship with all 3 of his wives. We need to see these badass ninjas in action more.

Then there’s Uzui; the Hashiras really are on a whole other level… the way he just slashed the obi like that 🤩 Uzui wives are pretty fucking badass too… he is a lucky man to have THREE beautiful & talented ladies!

Oh man, this episode was freaking awesome, the best episode of the season by far.

I hate Zenitsu but he was freaking awesome in this episode, I got pumped up when he appeared and did his thunder shenanigans but then again, he was sleeping, Zenitsu is only awesome when he sleeps, he should stay sleeping forever, even the boar guy agree with it.

And of course, that boar guy was the MVP of this episode. And that crazy hot upper moon chick is freaking lovely.

The comedy was also kind of nice in this episode so yeah, I definitely enjoyed this episode. Can't wait for the next one.

5/5 episode for me.

I recently binge Ranking of Kings and Vivy in one sitting.

After going through the emotional roller coaster, shocking revelations of plot and quick pacing of both of those amazing shows, I watch this season 2 Demon Slayer, everything up til now seems so... plain?

The execution, the dialogues, the plot, the characters of Demon Slayer season 2, they're not bad par say but having a contrast between the 2 shows I just mentioned, it just feels so weak/ shallow.
Especially the combat part, the animation is great but the whole combat choralography feels like a slug, just like many generic Jump shonen series.
It just feel like they want to stretch and stretch out the combat scenario to fill up the run time and make sure the combat lasts for couple epsidoes.

The only highlight is the comedy part from ep2 and ep3 which is the best part of season 2 so far.

Tanjiro looked a little too strong, considering that his opponent is ridiculously strong.
I like that all three boys became better, especially Inosuke became dependable and level headed, he really shines in this arc even with silly animal mask.

Everything Inosuke did this episode was awesome, Zenitsu has a very cool ability in terms of visual effects, I expect him to become a better character in a coming arcs.

Just a thing I found really amusing is how the wives looked in appearance, they were like nicely curvy and brawny, not something I have seen in many anime so far.

Welp what more were you expecting comparing it to Vivy or Ranking of kings lol. KnY is just your regular normal shounen series with a great adaptation from Ufotable. That's all there is to it and I'm just enjoying it for that tbh.

Ah, I can't deny anymore that KnY is one of my most favorite anime!

The animation is just amazing, music is great (omg, slightly changed theme during Hinokami kagura as seen in the episode with Rui from season 1), the action scenes are balanced and epic!

I love how Tanjiro is still not giving up, I was so excited when the "string" showed up, but surely he can't take down Upper Six demon by himself... I'm wondering how much longer it will take until others come to help or something else happens.

Inosuke has been amazing fighting the "worm belt" but I was again happy to see Zenitsu doing his epic breathing form.

And then Uzui came to finally find two of his wives, great! Can I be your wife too? :D

Can't wait for the next episode again. :))

Yeah , i think i'm kinda expecting too much from Demon Slayer, considering how popular/ highly acclaimed it is.
Whereas the other 2 shows I didn't have any expectation when I start.

Well the OP visual is rly good though , so it hypes me up quite abit I guess?
But ends up this 6th place demon is so... one dimensional evil and boring?

Technically he is not. he is combining the two.
Do you think he can be defeated by the water style?

yup
It disturb the flow of fights and if that would be about some strategy or explanation about some technique then it would be even more engaging but they are just Tanjiro's thoughts and they doesn't seem much intresting when we already know the most of the outcome
I hope they would do some fix in tengen side

Like these monologue always exist in anime but it's the first time for me that they have ruined the fight instead of enhancing it!!!

Yup, same. I don't mind when the monologues are about strategy and stuff. But all Tanjiro says is "get up, I can't move, stand, don't give up, etc".
It ruins the already lackluster choreography of the fights. I don't need Tanjiro to tell me he can't stand up ten times to understand he can't stand up. I can see that he can't stand up. No need to shove it into my face. It was not a problem in the manga because I can read it as fast as I want but the anime ruins it.

And yeah, I want to see sound breathing animated too.

Uzui's wives are saved thanks to Inosuke finding where the demon stores its human victims and we got a moment of greatness from Zenitsu who was also freed. Uzui himself has also caught up with them with his sense of sound. Meanwhile Tanjiro is still struggling to keep up with the Upper Moon Demon Daki and he needs help as soon as possible.

I can't remember how many times I replayed Suma's scenes, can't get over her voice so cute! Also that one scene where Tengen told his wives that they're his top priority was pretty wholesome. (to think that Suma even volunteered herself to be one of his wives, a good decision indeed)

The Recovery Breathing technique was really surprising. That is something that very few martial artists had experienced. The audio/visual team also did excellent job on maintaining just-right effects when Tengen (Sound Hashira) was running. I hope they can maintain this quality details.
