This battle was definitely worth the wait! My heart was pounding… and then it just kinda gave up beating with that cliffhanger ending. Such a cruel way to end the ep!

I’m actually struggling to think how they’re gonna beat Daki & her brother… the truth to defeating them is simple in theory but to pull off beheading BOTH is gonna be near impossible!

I never thought of this fight being so insane! It's really different from reading the manga! Thank you science! Thank you animators for this superb work!

Love the Rengoku cameos, this is the third time he has been referred to in this season.
The animation is so beautiful as always. Also Zenitsu sleeping is so cool, so he's actually useful in this episode, can we just keep him asleep?

Watching Kimetsu no Yaiba is similar to watching a magician show, you never know what the magician is going to pull, he magically tricks you with something that you didn't even know existed in the first place.

So, Daki killed 7 hashiras, but she's having a hard time dealing with some newbies, nice power level.

I know it's never going to happen, but they could kill Inosuke and Zenitsu. Tanjirou alone + hashiras would be better for the show. I hope they kill this demon as soon as possible, he's another annoying character in Kimetsu no Yaiba's cast.


To be fair, we don't know that she killed those 7 hashira alone or with Gyutaro. With her strength, I am pretty sure her brother helped her. Those hashira must have been caught by surprised when they beheaded her and she didn't die.

Also, I don't understand why you dislike Inosuke and Zenitsu. The series was actually close to be canceled but when the author introduced Inosuke and Zenitsu, the series gained popularity and survived. Zenitsu and Inosuke saved the series and they ranked on top of the character popularity polls. Without them, this anime wouldn't even exist.

KnY isn't carried by the animation .... yeah yeah. This studio does 80% of the work here. If someone thinks otherwise, why 90% of comments here are praise for animation?
I like this anime, but let's face it, Ufotable is saving this series

Ep was good but pacing was weird. I forgot that Uzui has such a short flashback ... Bravo for him for a great fight despite poisoning with deadly poison


Because most people here are anime watchers who only care for the animation. The manga was popular even before the anime came out. It constantly ranked at the top of Shounen Jump popularity polls. To me, the best thing about this series isn't the action. It is the characters. They have so much heart and are very relatable. Each of them has their own story and motivation.

Didn't he say that he killed 15 and she killed 7? I might've misunderstood.
No you are right I think I have misunderstood for the most part. Now that i think about it you have a good point. HOwever if thats the case then i think that the previous hashira s might have been extremely weak or daki might have assassinated them?


There isn't anything confirmed that she killed them by herself. It is very likely that her brother helped her killed them then he let her ate them. You should remember that Daki can't be killed when she is beheaded alone. Those hashira beheaded her and then they would be caught by surprise with Gyutaro.

No. The manga sales increased by over 650% after the anime came out. It was not that popular before. Not even close.

Anime helped increased manga sales and made it more popular so what's the problem. Even Aot was not popular until the anime was released.

The point is KNY manga wasn't popular before the anime. It had a decent following but the anime boosted its sales by a lot. A LOT.

Kny still had good sales, never out of top 16 of Shounen Jump popularity polls since released in 2016 and sometimes get in top 10, even 5 before the anime announcement. It wasn't as popular as now but still popular for manga readers at that time. Anime is the way to get more attention. If it is bad why people still wants to buy it instead of watching anime.

I was never arguing whether it is good or bad. The person I replied to said "It constantly ranked at the TOP of Shounen Jump popularity polls." before the anime came out. This isn't true.

I do agree that the first half of the episode was a bit slow wish that they could've added more information to be honest or even made it quicker

Even though it went kind of slow it was snowballing from the start of the action one of the most packed action scenes in the second half shit's on fire yo

A round of applause for ufotable on this one made me keep expecting more and more each episode they released and the action was keeping its own pace.

Another goated episode. I actually kinda agree with above that stuff was kinda slow here, but it made me realise how the TV has to play out differently than, let's say, a movie. The abrupt endings kinda get me too.

But I like this whole team up thing and all the rest of it. Stuff is getting real and the animation don't hold back.

A lot of the dialogue went over my head since it keeps pushing the action back, some dialogue is information but the rest is character lore and background - easy way to supercharge a character's power in a short burst. ngl Tanjiro's entrance was pretty cringe near the end. Finally we see the opening battle for this arc with the music and detail we've had from the past few episodes the fight scenes are easily my favorite part of this arc especially.

Ok Kimetsu season 2 has amazing animation throughout the show and this time the story is good too.

This episode was better, maybe the first episode I actually liked this season. But it still feels like this battle is dragging. Are we still going to be fighting the Upper Six for another 3 episodes?

They really jam-packed this ep with a ton of action from 3 separate chapters, it works out really well, this ep alone got the most constantly intense and up-close battle in this season by far, not to mention how there are multiple individuals in this fight and that the battle isn't separate, they're multidimensional with Daki providing a somewhat AoE attack supported by Gyutaro's eye on Daki's forehead. Something of this scale and intensity is adapted brilliantly as always, despite the chaos, the sequence of scenes is transitioned smoothly and the camera angles are always wildly moving but still capable of fully capturing the heat of the battle in more ways than just being static. Tremendous job well-done ufotable.

Aside from the irrefutably epic battle that happened, Tanjiro's Inosuke's and Zenitsu's entrance was flashy in and of itself, worthy of admiration from Tengen. Ofc the follow-up with Zenitsu's thunderclap flash attack is LITERALLY flashy incarnate.

Really fun, one of the coolest episodes so far. Have been overall enjoying 2nd Season as a package more compared to both the first season as well as the movie. Uzui's my favourite so far after Inosuke. Demons here are awesome, setting's perfect for what the story is, animation has been awesome. Overall, really strong episode.

I just realized the brother was in the OP all along. When I first saw that guy, I was thinking, it's Inosuke's beast form.

Damn, Zenitsu's lightning attacks never fails to give me goosebumps. I love it!

Fuck man, I'm a sucker for movie tier animated fight scenes. After witnessing all of that this ep, regardless of how this season ends, it's an easy 9/10 for me.

Such intensity and such beautiful animation. Sometimes it's hard to believe how good this actually looks. The whole choreography of the fight between Tengen and Gyuutarou is one of the best I've ever seen. Too bad Tengen got poisoned. He's joking about it, but it's definitely doing work and I wonder how long he can endure it.

Sleeping Zenitsu is always up for a surprise and his lightning breathing attacks never disappoint. I had never thought that him and Inosuke would go up against Daki. With her third eye open she got even crazier as before. Not only do they have to deal with flying belt but also blood blades which seems to be lethal at any contact.

I'm honestly worried about Hinatsuru. I know she wants to help and here attack definitely did work because Gyuutarou couldn't regen, but at the same time she became and easy target if Tanjirou won't be able to slice of Gyuutarou's head. I really want to believe he can do it. If Tengen's theory is right and they have to behead Daki and Gyuutarou at the same time, it seems like an almost impossible task.

Let's see what will happen in the next episode.

All I could think about when Uzui is going on about "reality" and "talent" is this song called, "fit hot guys have problems too" https://youtu.be/Dep0Fq6XnWQ

I hope someone does an amv with this song, but it's a long shot.

Seriously though I'm with Zenitsu and the brother-- heck off with your flaunting. I don't care if your siblings are dead. Life isn't usually fair like that, where if you've had a misfortune like that, then you get equal amounts of fortune.

I wonder if Daki still thinks of herself as beautiful even with that third eye, because damn that looks disgusting.

I guess we got to know Tengen's backstory. Not as tragic as I thought it was, but still not a happy one. Nevertheless, his moments in this episode were amazing. As expected after all since he's a Hashira.

Well done as always Ufotable! That was an insane fighting scene! I'm so hyped!๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿฅฐ

That was reckless of Hinatsuru btw. She saw Tengen so close to the demon and yet, still threw those knives!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

The one thing about anime villains and heroes they will always give you props. Gyutaro is complimenting Tengen so much. The upper-ranked demons aren't just strong they also have a high battle IQ. The whole city is fleeing not that I blame them. The animation is getting better and better for each fight scene you can clearly tell the difference in effort when they start fighting. Tengen will power and focus is incredible.
