| Now that Enmu is dead, Tanjiro is injured, the next big boy, Akaza is here. One of my favorite villains in this show so far facing none other than Rengoku and boy does he have an impact there, of course, he's the upper moon three. Wisdom words coming out of Kyojuro and Akaza trying to recruit Rengoku in his squad. The OST was so cool in this episode. The visuals are just as beautiful as the movie, so yeah... pretty cool... Quite a few new cuts this time around. Well, we know what's coming next? The last episode is next week to end this and then we move on to the main dish. |
 |
| Anime-to-Movie differences: No new animation cuts, just brief static ones: - Upper Three Akaza's stare - The usual post-OP & pre-ED credits |
 |
| The fight with Akaza is definitely up there as one of my favorite sequences. Full of stunning cuts charged with so much emotion. I love the scene where Rengoku just stares back at Akaza and says Tanjiro is not weak. I'm not ready to go through next week again. |
 |
| Poor Enmu. But in his last moments he honestly felt like a cheap version of Favorite episode so far, tho. Demon Slayer is at it's best when it's about the action. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| While Enmu was a powerful user of the arts Akaza was that in terms of martial might. The fight between him and Rengoku was truly breathtaking and showed well the kind of battles that veteran slayers fight on their quest to protect the innocent. On the flip side this also showed just how powerful upper rank demons were. |

| Akaza is here! And he is rocking again! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| When you realize with the movie cut in pieces that Rengoku vs Akaza fight just felt brief but is a long fight. |
 |
| THE BOY IS HERE!!! Akaza finally makes his appearance and is, as expected from the Upper Rank 3, a formidable opponent. Rengoku is holding his own pretty well, but even for a Hashira, we see him still struggling to gain the upper hand. Man, the OST for this fight is seriously so godly, I want to experience it in a movie theater again with how amazing it is. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Yes finally Akaza vs Rengoku and it's his time to shine, that was definitely the peak of the movie |
 |
| One more episode to go! |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| The action is always peak. This was honestly my favorite part of the anime and I've been waiting for this. Rengoku vs Akaza is honestly one of the most intense fights with insanely good soundtrack. Of course, ufotable makes it much better. Sadly, the outcome of the battle is not what they expected. It's almost time for the new arc. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Man, that fight was longer than I remember. It was great seeing this again! |
 |
| Good thing they kept that soundtrack for the fight. |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| Yay, the best part of the arc is here. I loved the fight like how it was in the movie and I'm looking forward to seeing things wrap up next episode. |
 |
| Rengoku is very admirable in this ep. You can see how strong he is and not willing to give up. But at the last moment Tanjiro already knew.. He will the fight. |

| Imagine if Rengoku accept Akaza offer. They both will fight forever? Nah. Its more than that. |

| Oh boy. Akaza and his badass theme song are finally here. |
| Akaza has finally arrived! Fight with Enmu was spectacular, but Akaza's entrance alone was even more epic, haha. |
| Rengoku got a bad day to meet the 3rd strongest upper moon... some people calling Rengoku's weak, but he's actually strong since he's fighting a strong demon after all.... But then again... I didn't read the manga... so I don't know the other Hashira true power yet. |
 |
| I felt sorry for Tanjiro for not being able to do anything. |

| Here we fuckin go this is the moment that I was expecting watching the movie and what I was waiting for in this recap like things are about to go down. |
  |
| last episode there will be a extra scene for season 2 kimetsu no yaiba |
| As expected from last week i said it ain't gonna be just one episode fight. Looks like the fight in this episode are more longer than i remember. Finally one more episodes before we getting the new content. |
 |
| imagine they released this arc in episode format since the beginning, the whole community would be so hyped. gonna have to be emotionally prepared for next episode.also we gonna get some new content that wasn't showed in the movie earlier, looking forward to the next episode |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| It was a great episode, and next week the arc will end with a perfect finale. Also, I felt really sorry for Enmu... he didn't deserve this... |
''A tired man they see no longer cares, The old man then prepares.'' |
| The Post-credits scene, with Rengoku's back turned dramatically.... after what they did to Nezuko in last week's post-credit scene, I was afraid they were about to do something VERY distasteful with Rengoku there for a second; glad they kept it chill tho |
~my list
| Welp I can already feel it.....what's coming next....So yeah next episode's the final one... |
| This villain seems decent, Ishida Akira as VA is always a good point 😌 The train villain's death scene was way too long and a very weak attempt at making anyone feel pity towards him. The Akaza vs Rengoku fight was cool. Rengoku is the only likeable character in the show so far but |

"If you accept everything you're told without question, you'll lose your ability to think. Even if you reached the same conclusion, it would still be worth analysing the reasons behind it." - Lacie Baskerville, Pandora Hearts |
| damn! Sakuga level fights! alright! one more and here we go to the new content! stay away from spoiler bastards! 5/5. |
 |
| Finally my favorite part of the Demon Slayer Movie which is Akaza vs. Rengoku fight. The animation in this version is just as good as the movie version. Time to steal yourselves and set your hearts ablaze for depression next week. |
 |
| No matter how often I see Rengoku vs Akaza, it's always such an epic battle with really great animation. I didn't notice anything outstanding new compared to the movie, maybe some shots, but that's about it. There's still a lot I wanted to know and and which left me with questions after finishing the movie, like why did one of the upper demons appear. Hard to tell what the next episode will look like and how much new things we will get to see towards the end, but what I know is, that it will be torture for my heart all over again. Not sure if I'm ready for this type of depression level. |
 |
| I think that was the most underwhelming episode of all so far. Akaza is a cool villain, but a completely overpowered demon. He could have conquered Japan on his own and put the demon banner on it. Rengoku looked super lame with repeating third form and fourth form and having a weak defence. More wasn't actually happening I think. So far I thought that the action is the weak point of this movie turned into an anime, It's difficult to pace it properly when the movie just hadn't more substance. |

| best character appears, Akaza, I was waiting so much for this |
    |
| Was waiting for this last part, now Akaza against Rengoku. Just one more after this and then that awaited season 2. |
 |
 UPPER MOONS! UPPER MOONS! UPPER MOONS! Finally all the 6 Upper Moons are shown. Well somewhat at least. |

| Akaza appears! The OST is just too darn amazing. Ngl I'm still hyped for this fight even though I had already watched the movie lol. I wonder how would the other upper demon moon's fights play out. Can't wait for the S2 since |

| This fight was what made the movie for me. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This fight never gets old man. |
| THE FIGHT. Great chapter. The best and saddest part of this arc is coming. |
| Oh god this isn't going good for Rengoku aniki! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
