| sad backstory for genya and his brother wind hashira genya can regenerate every part of his body except his head anyway so he will live  |
| Genya being one swiss cheese-looking mfer. Boob hashira didn't do anything this ep so I expect her to show up soon. Somehow with the power of good breathing/being a half demon or some shit Genya might make it out of this but idk. |
| Yep, I'm sorry, as emotional as they were trying to be, and I do appreciate the effort, mid battle backstories are just so cliched, and as brutal as that was, I couldn't really get invested in any of it. As I was watching, I rolled my eyes when the flashback started, saying "Here we go again". Sad backstories are not good characterization, in fact, it's honestly quite a lazy way to build character, since if a character can only be defined by tragedy, it's just not that memorable of a character. Then again, with how Demon Slayer is, I couldn't imagine anywhere else they could fit this backstory in. if Genya somehow survives through all this though, I will really not know what to say. Don't ruin this please. |
| This season is paced so slowly mehn |
| A Mother's Day episode, with great mother that had to be killed, because she became a demon. Young Genya & Sanemi: Some nice kids. Present Genya & Sanemi:two very abrasive brothers. |
 |
| Another short episode, not even Genya could resist Tanjirou's pure big bro aura, but to be granted Genya has big bro issues. |
| Bro I hate clif hangers this is the only downside to watching weekly 💀 |
 |
| this is garbage. 5 min of action and 15 min of flashbacks I couldnt care less about |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| I really hate when they inset flashbacks in the middle of a fight. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Damnit Genya, don't you kick the bucket on us! We still need to know about your chants, how you're such a badass as to resist the demon urges so well and also why you say you can't use breathing techniques. At least understand now why Wind Hashira has such a hatred for demons. Not only killed most of his family, but was forced to kill his own mother as a result :'( |
 |
| I don't know what else to say about the lack of narrative quality of this anime, so I'll give it some praise. Another family of children was killed by a demon, but at least this time the artificial intelligence that created this manga had the decency to mention the names of the family members, something it forgot to do with the protagonist's family. Watching this season is the hardest task I've ever done in my life. It's also questionable how this fourth demon managed to survive for so long being so weak, not even being able to eliminate two teenagers who just started fighting recently. Imagine how it would be against a warrior trained for many decades, but it's just the nonexistent power play of this anime doing its bizarre things. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Same backstory as usual, let the action begin. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| What an episode for Mothers Day. Dang, Genya and Sanemi went through it. The latter is still protecting his lil bro in his way. Talk about tough love lol. Great episode, Okamoto is giving it his all as always. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Ye ofc that wasn't the end of the uppermoon and there's a fifth body they need to behead. It's tiny but hard, can Tanjiro do it? Good to have more Nezuko action, she's been great this season. |
 |
| oh genya backstory booooorinnngggggggaaaaaa |
 |
 this scene was hilarious XD |
| Wow a lot of action in the begin of the episode. Tokitou still behind held in the vase water but he has a plan, I just feel it. Tanjiro realized that there's a 5th demon and send Genya after him, wow he's tiny lmao. We got a lot of backstory from when Genya was still a child, he hadn't that easy growing up since his shit father beat their mom up the whole time while the mom worked from day till night, without any sleep and to make their children happy. It broke my heart when I saw the mom turn into a demon and kill all the children in-front of Genya, but Genya didn't realize it until later when his big brother brought the mom to sunlight to make a end to it. Tanjiro is giving Genya a lot of courage and saying to not give up, so he jumped in-front of Tanjiro and told him to run after the tiny demon. Tanjiro is now face to face with the tiny demon. A rather emotional and action packed episode what left us on a cliffhanger, or some sort. |
  |
| Genya's backstory was quite tragic. Couldn't fathom the emotions that Genya's brother had to go through to protect his brother. At the expense of killing their mother. That must've been traumatizing. |
 |
| Genya's gun is really helpful eh? Even filled with holes he can still regenerate, that's cool. And Tanjiro's fire breathing is finally here in full force! I can't wait to see how this will end - or if there's more to the demons than it seems, since the hashiras aren't here yet! |
 |
| What a great place to put a cliffhanger... |
| Honestly i didnt care or more like i kinda disliked Genya ever since he showed in season 1 and then when he showed up again this season, but after this episode my view on him has turned a 180! he is so incredibly cool and his backstory was really well done! besides Genya, this episode was still really good and the fact there was a 5th demon which was incredibly small was something i was not expecting at all but i thought it was so clever and loved it. anyways this is a 10/10 once again. |
My Candys!     |
| Boring episode in general, the current battle feels drawn out and this season doesn´t seems to be able to take off yet... They overextend the flashbacks with unnecessary information too much on this series, it´s like they try to copy Saint Seiya but are not subtle enough in it´s execution to create a truly emotional impact. For example we see the mother turned demon killing the siblings, it was impactful and raw scene and one could tell right from the start by the silhouette that it resembled his mother but then Genya gotta have another flashback right after that scene recapping everything that happened? It became redundant and the spectator could tell moment we saw the killing, there def was no need to double on it, almost felt like they had to explain it for their dumber or younger viewers but what it actually achieved was to weaken the scene. |

| What a perfect Mother’s Day episode :) Jokes aside I love Genya and I can’t wait to see more people to start changing their feelings on him. Excited for his later scenes |

| Backstory was nb but da fack was that death flashback lasting forever lolz. So far the fight still feels underwhelming. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| i liked genya's backstory but felt like it went on too long; and of course we end on a massive cliffhanger because of that. |
 |
| Best of the season so far, the backstories always hit in Demon Slayer |
Gabu-sama said: yes, he's inherited the technique and also leveled up big time. it makes me emotional to think about that and how awesome it is. i just think a lot of people (myself included) thought the timing and length of that flashback was poorly done and we ended on one hell of a bad cliffhanger. all in all a very poorly thought out episode. i dont hate the season like some others but i do have some questions about narrative or directional choices here.Amazing episode once again, with a nice bit of backstory to boot. I also feel like people are ignoring a crazy new reveal: Tanjiro has just used SEVERAL Hinokami Kagura techniques in a row and doesn't even appear tired. His fights against Gyutaro and Yoriichi-0 seem to REALLY have powered him up. weinergloryxd said: i think the gimmick is so overplayed it loses impact after a while?the pacing feels really off... i don't know how to put it, i cant feel anything for the characters. i don't know if it's the fight getting dragged out or the sudden backstory when you know tanjiro's gonna save the day, like i can't feel anything for genya. maybe the way they present the sad backstories were just a gimmick that made me feel characters in the first season but ever since rengoku i haven't sympathized with a single character on the show...

| basically, genya's whole family got one shot by their mom who became a demon. everyone made fun of rengoku for becoming a donut but genya became a donut pro max. although genya is very much alive. nezuko and her pink flames looked fire and that tiny demon running around looked funny. but overall, it all feels a bit repititive. those 10 seconds of hype moments are cool but then the rest of the episode just feels meh. |
