| THERE WE GO. THIS IS WHAT I WANT. I was starting to lose faith in this season the past few episodes but this reestablished that lost faith. Great episode. Animation was phenomenal |
| Muichiro may just have been saved by Kotetsu, but the fish demons are stlll a menace. Muichiro's backstory as a diligent woodcutter's son, and with an ailing mother for his father to go out and get herbs in the process, they both died when he turned 10, but actually a year later because he has a twin brother: Yuichiro. Muichiro's name may mean harsh things, but it's his twin brother that largely led a life of insults, even driving the white birch spirit Amane away, which according to him, is definitely taking advantage of the twin brothers for her own gain. The loatheness of life rains down on the twin brothers, stopping their conversation, and to make matters worse, a demon comes attacking after them, which leaves a pool blood of red and the demon subjugated and turned into dust from his protection. The "Mu" in Muichiro meaning "infinity", and indeed he's the chosen one to face the Upper Rank 5 Gyokko with the mark on his face. Together with Kanamori's sword that he perfected for Tokito, a blade that was once forged by his master Tetsuido, this is his chance to redeem himself: a fighting chance of an infinite strength. From a family boy to an orphan, then to a chosen one, Tokito, be infinity. |

| Not a bad episode and did a decent job with Giyu here. This is nice to have after a lot of below average episodes. |
| I got a Masters degree. I don't have to worry bout school anymore. |
puppetmazter said: No, he is that more timid twin. Yuichiro was that harsh one who was killed by the demon. Wait, so hes the harsh twin? He talked about Muichiro in the thrid person at the end, no? Yuichiro mentioned two names in his words: Muichiro's and Buddha's, so perhaps that made you confused? |
| Muichiro is actually Yuichiro or am I losing it? When he was last talking he was talking to the dead Mucihro who was shown lying dead on the bed. Their backstory was sad but it seems all the Hashira so far have had sad backstories. Tanjiro fits right in. Great episode. |
dragynfaerie said: No, Muichiro is Muichiro and has always been himself. Just after that tragic incident and his brother's death, his young mind had to cope with it somehow. Defense mechanism in his case was suppressing emotions and resemble more his dead brother than himself. His defense reaction was so strong that he basically became a different person having huge difficulties to remember about the past. Thanks to Kagaya's support and Tanjiro's influence, he was able to break that mental wall and reach to his long suppressed emotions and memories.Muichiro is actually Yuichiro or am I losing it?

dragynfaerie said: You're welcome! All Pillars have a story to tell, and that one was Muichiro's. :)Thanks for clearing that up for me. |
| Easily the best episode of this season. I'm expecting the last few episodes to be quite good now. In my opinion, this arc wasn't that great in the manga either. Muichiro's backstory is really damn good though. |
  SEIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
| Another flashback with a sad story that is followed by power up. Overall meh episode, hopefully next episode is going to be just action with no flashbacks. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Animation was top tier, flashbacks were boring af |
Adnash said: Thank you. It was confusing, because they did a voice over of the harsh twin at the end while Muchiro was fighting. I assumed he was the one still alive and fighting :Dpuppetmazter said: No, he is that more timid twin. Yuichiro was that harsh one who was killed by the demon. Wait, so hes the harsh twin?

BarelyCreative said: Absolutely. The majority of the episode I was also on the wrong track and thought that he was imagining that he had a twin XD There I also read too much into it puppetmazter said: You are not alone, I was just as confused while watching the last parts of the episode. xD But now that I think about it, Mu being 'the harsh one' could have been a cool twist. That was a bit confusing, because he didnt say any of that in the backstory. Looked like the hashira was talking to Muichiro |

| Poor boy Muichiro~ |
| Twin huh.... interesting, polar opposite personalities too. Poor Amane tho, she got yelled at, rock and mud thrown at... Tho the big'bro did that cause he didn't want his lil'bro to be in danger hunting demons. . Meanwhile... the Gigachad is still going with the sword, LOL (TBH tho... why did the Pot demon left Muichiro to die and not finish him off... this demon is stupid huh, LOL) (there's a reason why "double-tapping" exist in fights, to make sure your opponent is actually ded-ded and won't come back and take revenge) (but well, I guess they needed a plot device) |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Getting to see the sad backstory of Muichirou animated... ;( Going all out again on the animations of those action scenes, top-notch stuff! |
 |
| Gotta get myself a backstory in case someone poisons me. |
 |
| i wonder what will happened if his twin is still alive and both became swordsman. yes, character gets save every time there's a flashback. |
 |
| I actually really like the backstories in this anime. They’re all tragic and add some depth to the characters. |
| idk what happened but it looked good. writing this after watching the 11th episode after weeks so. uh idk what happened on this epsode but it looked good... i think |
  TOP FIVE THIS SEASON 1. DANDADAN season 2 [completed] 2. Gachiakuta 3. The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity 4. My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 5. Clevatess [completed] |
| I presume that the reason Tokitou lost his memories is that the death of his own brother had completely torn him apart to the point he blocked out. Right there, you can tell that everything he went through was just too much for him. His brother's death was his last straw. I'm glad he got his memories back and is very determined to do his duty as a demon slayer. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Muichiro's backstory is finally here. It was tragic as per usual. Yuichiro's final words sure hit the spot. Muichiro finally unlocks the Slayer Mark and overcomes his amnesia. Bro is finna one shot Gyokko soon. Also, I know that mist breathing is supposed to look that way and Ufotable has done a great job adapting and animating it but it doesn't look as appealing as fire breathing, sun breathing, or the others. Same with love breathing. Don't get me wrong, they look amazing, but pale in comparison to other breathing forms. |
