Good lord, bless the wonderful people working in Ufotable for this level of quality!

Personally, for me, this wasn't as jaw-dropping for me as Episode 19 because I think I was more invested into the fight then (Kamado Tanjirou no Uta definitely helped too) than now but that didn't stop me from appreciating the pure glory, that was the audiovisual experience.

And then that cliffhanger, are you serious xD? I know it's going to be a double-length episode which obviously helps but still...

Anyway, Tanjirou creating that opportunity out of nowhere and the others making timely returns was fascinating to watch! Not really the masterful writing in display quite admittedly but, with quality stuff like this, you just can't help overlook it.

If S1 E19 was a 10/10, then this is 9.5/10. First, SnK and now KnY. Just how bloody blessed are we?

Ok, not the best soundtrack episode but, the best animated episode in the entire franchise no doubt.
Even the movie fight may be less impressive than the fight in this episode.

Zenitsu's Godspeed and Inosuke's return was probably the best part of the episode. Tengen vs Gyutaro was absolutely amazing and the beheading was phenomenal.

Never give up!
This episode like most of Japanese shounen anime, main characters have to be hit badly, everyone got hurt badly, I’m physically feel for them, couldn’t imagine what will happen next, like how long they need to recover, after all they are human being. Although it’s like an old pattern, ppl have to fight again and again with trauma, become stronger and stronger. The main topic is there, never give up. I quite like tanjiro not always just fight, he always thinking the best way or new way to fight.

Seems like most people loved this episode but it was a weaker one for me simply because so many things were overdone. Some actual asspulls and much "anime physics" also happened.
Plus the way things were stretched out, especially the last part felt really forced for that "cliffhanger" ending, not like plot armor doesn't exist.
It was nice to hear Nezuko speak though, even if it generally didn't make too much sense.

This is the best episode I have ever seen in an anime.
The fighting scene was incredible and the emotional moments really got to me which is unusual.
This is the episode that one should have made a trailer of to show people who are interested what demon slayer is all about.

Can manipulate body part doesn't mean you can do it when you got stabbed UNNOTICED by an enemy , that just say asspull plot armor if you asked me. then what's the point in surprised attack!? just for shocking moment!? lol

lol just think he got stabbed and got up again sometimes just take fiction as fiction, I immediately said to me: hell no that bullshit ass shit he just got up and never stabbed in his heart

Inosuke kinda have a spider sense because of his sensitive skin, so he could shift his organs just in time, it will be explained in season 4

One of the most Asspull , Plot Armor I have seen in Demon Slayer

Wow!! I can change the location of my heart when I got stab unnoticed from behind,, Wow!! I can be immune to poison... it seems like all of the enemy's attack is just for a SHOCKING moment and no consequences whatsoever. loss all values now going forward...

how about the next one...... I will never die because I'm a protagonist?

Very disappointing , but other than that The Animation is top notch and very good.


It kinda bothers me too altho it's common in this genre.
But it feels like people are pulling abilities out their ass just so they can win, I wish the powers were just more defined right away and that they then stuck with them otherwise it feels cheap.


^ Yeah, exactly this. I knew that Inosuke can pretty much dislocate his bones to move around freely. I did not expect his organs as well, but I am not surprised at that point.
So much plot armor for Tanjiro, for sure. Now, I wonder how he'll survive after this.

Bruh, these characters have DEMON plot armor the way they have unlimited health and stamina lmaooooo. It kinda feels like all these episodes are renditions of what each artist saw as the ending, because there's been like 300 fakeout deaths and cliffhangers of the same fight.

Other than that it was sexy af, they did amazing with the fire and using its light to characterise distance between objects, fire and frame. 100/10 that gets.

As for this episode, its basically filler porn - its great to watch but not for the story.

THERE’S the hype I’ve been missing. This season is still riddled with flaws, but on a production standpoint it is borderline impossible to find a more stunning weekly anime. Crazy how much it carries this series.
For real, the whole bullshit with Inosuke moving his organs and Tengen stopping his heart really do affect the experience. Tanjiro moaning about his injuries, then still doing everything even with them really just screams PLOT ARMOR.

But looking through the manga chapters that we've seen here, ufotable really outdid themselves. Like, it's insane. Tengen's fight scene is LITERALLY 3-4 PAGES IN THE MANGA. HERE IT'S ACTUALLY A CRAZY FIGHT. That ending sequence with just the background and no music until the ending song kicks in is a phenomenal idea.

I bet he's gonna headbutt the explosion away and breathe the poison out through his ass.

I have to say that this may be the worst episode yet. The animation was amazing, and the sound design is just perfect.
But they are completely destroying all sense of logic and story the show had.
They are making tons of unnecessary decision that worsen the show for no reason.

Power scaling a bit fucked but w/e the visuals were so fucking amazing i couldnt believe my eyes. Inosuke being able to move his heart is pretty weird as well. Also great soundtracks and really nice VA performance. Really hope they dont randomly go back to life using some kinda bullshit power for the 3854th time.

Man, tengen was surprisingly very weak and most definitely would've gotten killed if tanjiro and friends weren't there. I'm curious if hashiras will continue this streak of being absolutely destroyed by upper moons? Even rengoku couldn't put up a fight. I wonder if we'll just see hashiras being on the receiving end.

Anyways, tanjiro and friends carried this fight. That was amazing seeing their growth.

This is why we can't have nice shit. Godlike animation is used only to carry subpar writing (Ufotable's speciality). Half episode of pointless demon psycological warfare but ofc only they can do that, MC is only allowed to blurt motivational quotes and win. Family member non-sense throws moribund MC to the attack once again, back and forth between both parties once more, only for all the sacrifices made be in vain (again) and finishing the episode on a cliffhanger (again). The OST wasn't even on pair with other episodes tbh.

How much can you drag a fight with a minion/lieutenant? If we extrapolate power levels it would never be possible to defeat Muzan or even upper moons, for any of the pillars (proven to be incompetent) or Tanjiro. Since efforts to fight smarter are constantly subverted with the purpose of extending the fights, seems like only asspulled power ups are awaiting down the line.

And please, spare me with "that's just shonen", because "KnY follows the standard of average shonen having trash writing" is not the best argument to defend this. The bar is on the floor and people are still trying to limbo under it.

Just overloaded with all the minor problems the show has: generic animes trope lines like "sorry, sorry, SORRY", deus ex machina powers like 'god-speed' that were 'tOtAlLy rEaL ThE wHOlE tImE guYS' and totally weren't invented just for this episode, the flashback after flashback after flashback.

Also find it funny that there's a 'don't spoil anything dipshits' warning on this discussion, like the admins know full well that Kimetsu no Yaiba manga fans are the biggest scumbags when it comes to spoiling things, even worse than JoJo fans.
