| This was a great episode that showed their comraderie, although the corps look like 4th graders with a sword hopefully they become stronger.Looks like he'll be training with sexy pink hair girl, I hope he gets stronger. I think already he could be in the running for hashira. |

Dukino said: Though the response in itself is plenty sterile, at least you used paragraphs. Also, all I just did was write what ACTUALLY happened this episode, shocking you don't share the same opinion as all you do is recap stuff after all.If you're not happy with it then stop watching. Oh wait, you won't because you live to complain. Hashira vs Hashira is training for them. Did you not hear that? They said the normal corps members don't challenge them so they need to spar together. Since when is the opening of an anime "what's been advertised"? Openings are NOT a binding contract of what's to come. Get that through your thick skull hater. Sucks that you don't like paper planes. They're pretty cool, maybe try making one. Oh wait bet you can't and that's why you're complaining And, please stop spamming words like complaining or hater. After all not everyone could see playing with paper planes helping in any way to train like you could. |
| Man I was reading some news while watching the episode and then episode stopped playing, I thought "that was fast, I feel like nothing important happened", watched again and yeah, bonding and practice with paper planes. Hit me back when this gets good. |
| 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!  |
| So is it gonna be aired/released another hour earlier next week? Or is it time to skip a week again and then two hours earlier the week after? Or maybe we go an hour later next week? I really do wish they picked a time and stuck with it because I'm seriously getting whiplash. Not to mention it's annoying trying to plan anything like this. In any case. Id, but Tanjiro just visiting his (not so old) friends one by one, just to make sure he can't really learn anything from any of them, but can be used to make them just a touch more human with the new cadets, is just... obvious emotional manipulation being laid on even thicker than at first appears. I mean I am someone who does like "behind the scenes" stuff and just building character relations, but the pattern here is a little too lackluster. Tokito's complete 180 in mood and attitude when he barely even spots Tanjiro is cute af ofc, but feels a little weird and almost undeserved as I don't really remember them having bonded quite that much? Ah well. At least we got a nice pinup I mean wallpaper-worthy shot of him. Tanjiro and the others have been quite overdone for a while now, imo... |
| As ever Tokito's speed is mighty impressive. Would be pretty scary if you run into that many eyeballs when trying to shave time by taking an alley though. That spar between Tokito and the serpert and wind hashira's was quite the spectacle. The spar between Tanjiro and Tokito was fun as well and it was curious seeing Tokito smile so much during it. The paper aero event was a nice change of pace for the class. Overall a pretty balanced ep that featured a good blend of action via the training and the brief spar between the Hashiras and comedy via the aero event and the crows. Curious to see what Mitsuri would bring to the training. |

| Muichiro's personality switching between serious and lighthearted is hilarious. I liked the paper airplanes sequence. It's a great moment and beautiful use of imagery to show that everyone in the Corps is united under one goal and flying together as one. I think that's why we see the emphasis with Muichiro's smile, because this is what the Master wanted. |
| Those SoL episodes arent bad ngl. So far we got hinted about an upcoming demon fight that would probably happen in the next few eps 🤔 |

| @Dukino lol you got him buddy. Btw ufotable always show what happened in OP so they're probably Will still do it and I've seen all ufotable op and it always true especially that all Hashira breathing they just didn't show the true animation, maybe for suprise. |
| It was pretty cute how Tokitou changes his behavior when only around Tanjrou and then having Urokodaki back and know how much Tanjrou looks up to him was pretty touching, it was thanks to him that the siblings got to travel together after all, the bonus Mitsuri at the end was the cherry on top <3 |
| There's no way the author helped in this adaptation, it is so lame how they tried to increase the duration of a short arc with so much filler. Isn't the whole point of seasonal anime to stop with the filler past animes had? |
 |
| The plane throwing competition is so cool! |
| Soooo many eyes and nobody noticed even one? :( |
| "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." |
| why are so many people butthurt about all the training?? LMAO its in the name of the season lmao stop complaning like a bunch of kids |
| Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. |
| The fight of Tokito vs Sanemi/Iguro was dope, but the paper plane part was kind of cheesy ngl. |
 |
| I'm enjoying the filler for the most part, the fight was dope.. but what the hell with the paper planes? Flying filler right there, skipped through it. 3/5 episode |
| Lolz, so they really gonna do 1 Hashira 1 episode huh. This episode is even more filler-ish than the last. So you tell me this training that determines the fate of the organization, they just gonna do it like a school camping? Playing paper airplane contest? I see zero sense of urgency in any of them, is this really the training to prep against the upper moon? Is this Demon Slayer corp consist of only the lazy / relax bunch? I thought almost all of them have their family killed by the demons, this is the very reason how any sane person would join such dangerous organization that put their life at risk. And you tell me all those people are bunch of slackers who just want a chill life? Only Tanjiro and the 9 Hashiras are special? The author knew that his general setting about Demon Slayer corp are lacking in detail that makes it believable, that's why she makes everything about the corp as brief as possible, and never bother to put many chapters explaining the detail and how it works, but anime adding all those fillers further showcase that this Demon Slaying Corp makes no sense at all. They are NOT newbie students who never participate in any demon slaying mission before, they are ACTUAL active members, so how are they all this sluggish and useless? If this is a Pre Demon Slayer training school , then I can understand how some students act like that, but you tell me those veterans all act like that as a whole? |

Am I the only one who finds the word paper "airplanes" weird?
I hope it's just a translation issue but... why does this world have the concept of air"planes"?
They should have called it something else for consistency with the premise.

| @SiMPleT0N Because this arplane contest is completely anime original. It's not author's fault studio make useless fillers to break the setting. It also break the reputation of demon slayer corp in general by making it like a school training camp. Aren't those members actual veteran members who slayed couple demons before already , and most of them have their family killed and want to avenge their family? How are they all acting like students who want a chill life? Why do they even join the organization then? |
| 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. |
| Tokito cuteness carried this episode tbh |
| "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 |
| I really don't have a problem with doing some anime original content here, but some of this stuff is really giving vibes of like the worst parts of My Hero Academia (which I haven't watched in years to be fair), like the school life segments that almost nobody likes from that series This isn't awful by any stretch, but I just wish they could have come up with some slightly more interesting anime original stuff if we're going to get so much of it this season |
| I love Ginko the tsundere ojou-sama crow, she's adorable XD |
| Muuuuiiiii cuteness overload |
| iv been staying positive about this filler but dang this episode second half wasnt even trying |
 |
| "Talk about stubbornly refusing to die." That summed up Tanjiro completely. I'm enjoying getting to know the Hashira and seeing them fight in this way. I like seeing the change in Tokito. A weight certainly was lifted after the last arc. |

| Tokito’s training certainly looked rough, those poor guys are royally fucked when it comes to fighting an actual demon lol, and that’s exactly why Tokito has to be hard on them, but it’s not only rough on the students, but Tokito as well since he’s been going out at night to get his own training in, but at least he’s got his buddy Tanjiro to lighten up his day, it’s funny how differently he treats Tanjiro to the corps members lol. And I really liked that we got another inspiring moment that Tanjiro left the other students with, yeah it’s kinda silly that instead of preparing for the coming threat they’re playing with paper airplanes but times like this are important too, loved Tokito’s reactions there. And now Tanjiro is on to the next hashira, this time it’s Mitsuri, and their first interaction together was really sweet and wholesome but I can’t help but feel her training is about to be hell lol, I’m looking forward to it. And lastly, we got a glimpse on the next big bad demon, looks like there’s more than just a few walking eyes this time lol, it looks like things could get bad at any moment. |
| Tokito so cute, how beautiful |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| This training is really good for preparation for likely super battle. Yes, these guys are nothing compared to Hashira, the Trio, and Nezuko BUT, there are radically more demon's under Michael Jackson's disposal and they will be radically more ready with this. So those "four" eyes are castle music lady's? So that's what the retired water hashira is doing, same as the start of just watching Nezuko. She may have conquered the sun, but her power (and human eating equivalent) is from sleeping. Looks like we will get demon eating shot gun boy next, wonder if older brother will [positively] interact at all |
  |
| welp, the most boring hashira mainly got the focus in this one. the fight with the wind hashira and serpent hashira hard carried. |
