Poor Giyu, despite totally worthy of being a Hashira he had overwhelming guilt due to Sabito's death but thankfully Tanjiro's persistence finally motivated him back on track ^.^

Great episode overall :)

Been a while since I read the manga so a little hazy around this part, wasn't expecting it to get emotional so soon.

I Really liked the reveal of Giyuu's rough past. It really helped with explaining why he's been so distant.

~ Just thinking out loud here ~

Shinobu's rage moment made me laugh so hard lmaoo!

Also, their interaction during this scene was too wholesome 🥹

There is this very old movie called "What About Bob?" and the plot is basically what Tanjiro did to Giyu this episode.

Man, Sabito had so much swag with that haori. Such a shame we couldn't enjoy more of his awesome character design.

So, is no one gonna say anything about how they totally ignored Makomo during all those flashbacks? I mean... she also helped you train, Tanjirou.

I liked the premise of the episode, but I don't like how we just built up SOME tension & tried to feel something, only to break the suspense kn MCU fashion of throwing around quirky scenarios or trying to make jokes. Also, this episode was more tell, not show.

I thought this episode was alright, but I'm also glad there was a slight recap at the beginning with the Master's crow. Giyu isn't really a favorite Hashira of mine, but finding out his backstory was interesting. I thought it was cool how Giyu knew Sabito, and I always wondered why Sabito was a ghost. Also I didn't realize the girl with Sabito who trained Tanjiro to cut the boulder back in season 1 was Giyu's sister!

I'm really interested to see what Shinobu is forcing a fake smile for. I know something that happens because I got spoiled, but it's still intriguing. She is one of my favorite characters.

Also I guess Giyu cut Sabito and his sister's cloaks and stitched them together? That's cool

Giyu backstory (best hashira) really nice to see this animated. really funny episode while also giving us a very important insight into Giyus character. Him wearing the cape with the colours of Sabito and his sister is really sweet and sad also

Kinda enjoyed Tanjiro pestering the hell out of Giyu. So much so that one sentence was enough to snap Giyu out of his slump. Just Demon Slayer things.

All this backstory into Giyu and Sabito Bd by reference Tanjiro's training with Urokodaki. But no mention of how much of a gut punch must Sabito's death meant for Urokodaki.

I watched the first 2 episodes more than a month ago at a Greek cinema, falsely advertised to suggest it was going to be half the season or so.

The first 3/4 were edited scenes from the previous season... 💢
We were played, though I should have known better... 💢

Nice episode tbh we got to see more of Tokioka’s past and why he’s so silent and distant from everyone it’s bc bros got survivors guilt from Sabito dying and his sister dying as well I feel bad for bro but thankfully we got our ball of sunshine Tanjiro is here to cheer our bro up and his efforts didn’t fail at all at making Giyuu join the Hashira training program😇😇😇

Yo Shinobu lowkey is STACKED asf I didn’t even realized until that close up of her sitting down fixing her outfit, I need her so badly fr fr😩😭

Changing Giyu heart that easy... Hmm....
If someone bothers me like what Tanjiro does to Giyu, I'm also be like Giyu... Silent but actually stressed. LOL.

It's funny when Shinobu is actually short temper since the beginning but she's hiding them with the smile after her sister death.

The OP song is okay.. But the ED song is weird.... Sure Hyde singing voice are amazing... But the song.... it's.... weird... like gibberish or something...

Been a very long while since season one started out, but this episode really took its sweet time remembering those moment. Sabito and Giyuu have some fine story behind. Bit weird having to see Giyuu down time and feel of insecurity actually coming from his disremembering situation of the old talk with his old friend, Sabito. About the death of his old sis. About how you pass on the will of fire....

Enough with the laziness, Giyuu will come joining right into the hashira training ground as well!

Now since Lady Tamayo is on the way to gives a helping hand, planning a joint collaboration research with my poison master hottie, Shinobu Kochou. She also in dire need to share some of her background story as well? Been a while i am curious to know her more, so this is a very good time to learn the store of her life!

Op once again feels good, but the ed once more sounds underwhelming. Hoping it to adapt well into my ears then....

Tamayo receiving information from Kagaya's messenger about Shinobu, and the Hashiras needing her help to defeat Muzan, this may be her last chance at redemption to prove herself useful to the Demon Slayer Corps.

Tanjiro being given an ultimatum to help Tomioka regain his confidence, and he would pursue to get his attention no matter what. Frm someone who wants Tanjiro to succeed as the Water Hashira, to then only be disappointed at him, Tomioka may have forsaken Tanjiro, but the latter is quite the pushy and persistent person enough for the former to start talking....about his past.

Tomioka's past with another candidate for the Final Selection, Sabito, they were the best of pals being in the same Water Breathing power realm. But where one survived, the other died, and Tomioka was given the position despite not having killed a demon. And Tanjiro also having been trained by Sabito too, he realizes how important both guys are to each other, as much as the power to protect is learnt through Rengoku. This is something that Tomioka learnt the hard way through Sabito, and the marriage of his sister Tsutako, it really hit him hard...and there goes Tanjiro thinking about stuff like speed eating contests and such.

There's something weird about Shinobu, though Kanao does want to train more under her, and revealing how to kill the demon that killed her older sister Kanae. OK...

Giyu san Giyu san Giyu san, chill Tanjiro. Sad story for Giyu, he was looking down yes but on himself and not others. Great guy and hopefully he'll start co operating with the others more now. Shinobu being pissed off lol, always love Hayamin's voice on such moments. But it's already time for that huh. Shinobu revealing how to kill the demon.

2 minutes of filler at the start...nice.

It is indeed hard to be in a bad mood on a full stomach. This was a quick episode! I'm happy Tanjiro was able to get through Giyu. The master was right in selecting Tanjiro to talk to Giyu since they've been through the same experience.
This never updates so that's cool

Oh, okay, so this season is basically providing explanations for everything that has happened so far while training up the Demon Slayer Corps soldiers. I didn't expect to see Sabito again. I wouldn't have guessed that Giyu and Sabito were friends. I didn't realize Sabito was that strong; he must have had a natural aptitude for being a swordsman but lacked Tanjiro's overall strength.

It's cool that we're learning about all the Hashira and their pasts. I'm relieved that Tanjiro's words got through to Giyu.

Kind of padding out the time here I see. Had a lot of dragged on moments.

Giyuu's backstory is here
◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐
"Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself. Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains."
