After receiving tokito's training & spending time with him, tanjiro moves forward to the next hashira i.e, Mitsuri. The added original scenes were good as well.

Tokito's crow based. Those katana's are real sharp. More training and it was nice watching Tokito train others while Tanjiro managed to lighten the mood for them.

Mitsuri tea party time. They'll have fun eating. What about training? Who knows. Gotta eat bread with butter and honey.

Urokodaki! Glad he's back, I was thinking of him and Rengoku's dad when they mentioned bringing the retired hashira back to help out

This might be a dumb question, but how do they know what an airplane is? I know paper planes came before actual airplanes, but until the 1950s (at least in the US), they were apparently called "paper darts" because airplane designs weren't sleek enough.

@SiMPleT0N Wait until you find out that paper airplanes were invented half a century before real ones. Also wait until you find out that real airplanes were invented before the events of this story.
@MikitoList Do you have a source proving that they were referred to as 'airplanes' in Japan during the Taishou era? In English they were called paper darts until actual planes started to look like them in the 50s and 60s.

Technical sword training by Muichiro, but ofc Tanjiro no needs to stay longer since he's already that great. Sure. I like how different Tokito handle his npc people and Tanjiro himself. That's how different hashira recognize the mobs person and the mc himself. Pretty cool, right? Wonder what's happening with Sanemi training and Obanai session for Tanjiro. Not gonna worry about Kanroji training session. Its just a fest! Worth to be skipped honestly, even though i feel bad to not hearing our queen voice much longer tbh. But i still had a loud voice of Kugimiya Rie here so its still a win to this episode.

The Hashira spar each other was badass. Tokito really has some skill to take on the Snake and Wind Hashira in a 2v1

Tanjiro’s positivity is truly contagious! Tanjiro helps the Demon Slayers, who have succumb to their weaknesses in the midst of training, become motivated and see the night at the end of the tunnel. That’s the power of a MC.

That Demon all her hundreds of ant eyeballs are creepy. Guess they’re trying to snoop on their training and wait for a chance to strike

Next up, Love training!

Makes sense that tanjiro completes the training quickly. I'm hoping to see him perhaps surpass at least 1 of the hashira's.

Tokito's bird is hilarious lmao I love how she was trashing talking to everyone. Crazy that only Tanjiro has seen Tokito's warm side. I'm also liking this season significantly more than the previous one. 2 weeks vs 5 days, that's insane. I think Tanjiro's fatal flaw in losing the paper airplane contest was having the nose pointing down lol

The fight with the Hashiras was really cool to see even if we only saw flashes of light. Its hard to believe that no one has sensed the demon who's been chilling in the village. Tokito has been the first one to say "let's defeat Muzan together" up until this point its usually been, be sure to beat Muzan for us/me. But what is Tanjiro holding in his purple bag?

The difference in tone when Tokito speaks to Tanjiro compared to everyone else was hilarious 🤣🤣. He had so much joy in his voice when talking to Tanjiro, but when he spoke to anyone else, he sounded dead inside 😂😂.

Oh, so Tokito is actually stronger than Sanemi and Obanai. They jumped him out of sheer respect for his power. It was a great idea to have them all train side by side; it really accentuates how skilled a swordsman Tanjiro is.

I couldn't help but feel that throwing the paper aeroplanes symbolized something greater than themselves. It will also be a cherished memory for all of them. Those eyeballs running around creeped me out 🤮🤮.

Loved this episode, I really like the additions to the manga that they did. I guess if they really are doing fillerish stuff then this season is their only chance to do those and it's not bad actually. Im satisfied with this season so far and I don't think that will change.
People don't know that this is the final breather arc and after this it's just straight up action stuff.

Tokito is such a cool character, loved his 2v1 too. I'm really liking this training arc and the fact that it's going more in-depth into all of the hashira and characters. Also the paper airplane scene at the end was pretty wholesome. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes, I heard it gets CRAZY

The training between Snake, Wind and Mist hashira should have gone a bit longer but it was nice to watch

But all things aside half of it is pretty much filler or anime only content coz most of these were either shown in a few panels at max or not at all so yeah

People are befuddled about why this is such a hit, but it's actually a good story with good characters, I don't know why that's hard to understand. It's actually pretty rare.

The diehard h8ters be trippin'.

Yes it's a training arc, and yes those are good, it's like they never watched Dragonball before, this series is just like Dragonball.

The crows are so good lmao. Perfect animal companions that support the story, add comedic bits, but never become overly annoying. A little sad that things have slowed down since the start but this seems to be the calm before the storm that is definitely coming for Nezuko.

As always, I'm loving the special treatment that Tanjiro gets with the hashira, this time Tokito pretty much lit up from seeing Tanjiro arriving to train

Got a brief but sweet clash of swords between Tanjiro and Tokito, that should be all to it before they moved on, but I guess the anime inserted an anime-original segment with the paper planes/cranes competition there. Truly the calm before the storm.

Picking this back up because I’ve seen the movie in cinema, so maybe watching the leftover could help me understand if I missed an important detail other than the lasf 2 episodes (which I have watched already before starting the Infinity Castle movie).

I can't believe they're stretching this arc out like this. This should be like 2-3 episodes altogether. The paper airplane scene was ridiculous. Are there even airplanes in this time period?

Most of the issue with this arc is there are no side characters alongside Tanjiro, just a bunch of generic fodder guys. This is the first time in the series where I feel compelled to fast forward through scenes.

Another week filled with filler. Making an entire season for such a short arc (8 chapters) and padding it out with unimportant filler really makes this season feel like a cash grab and little else. If you are going to pad out so much content into a season it would of been better if they just made some OVAs for this arc. Obviously just putting it in before the final battle starts works too, but as long as you are grabbing as much money as possible it might as well not be super padded out like this season.

This entire training scheme seems like a waste of time for anyone not named Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. There won't be any new character showing up as strong as them and the Hashiras. Really feels like a waste of Ufotable's godly animation. Hopefully whatever future filler they include is more interesting than what they've shown thus far.

I liked how Tanjiro took the other demon slayers' minds off by flying some paper airplanes. Even made Tokito feel a little better.
