| 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. |
 |
| What a nice episode full of wholesomeness and also including really good looking action sequences. It might be my favorite episode from this season so far. I can't believe that I enjoyed so much watching the Muichiro-centered episode, heh. Even the Mist Pillar himself wasn't as annoying as in the previous story arc. His personality has really changed since he regained his lost memory. |
| Ahhh... Mmm. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this show. Very boring episode overall, some kinda cool animated moments with Tanjiro and Tokito, plus the three Hashira fighting each other but yeesh idk. They really are just milking this show for all it's worth, I doubt this episode was comprised of all that many chapters, plus is this new Upper 12 Demon an anime only villain? I don't know. Hope not. I'm just getting this feeling of this being totally a filler arc which makes me so upset. Any momentum that there was going to be in this show is completely gone. And there's 4 more episodes left ... |

@Softhenic03 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

| @SiMPleT0N Wait until you find out that paper airplanes were invented half a century before real ones. Also wait until you find out that real airplanes were invented before the events of this story. |
My Candies:       Bonus:   |
| Highlights: Muichiro's relationship w/ Tanjirou in contrast with everyone else Muichiro's smile Fodder Slayers were much more interesting than last week Upper Four reveal Sanemi & Obanai vs Muichiro Great use of cinematography throughout (Muichiro vs Slayers; other cuts) The paper airplanes scene was truly a beautiful moment and tied well within the themes of the story. Gave a feeling of brief happiness in spite of the impending war Iguro's OST and the OST during the paper airplane scene really stood out Urokodaki watching over Nezuko just like he did at the beginning of this journey |
| My Candies: Bonus: |
| Feels like a lot of the Corps members bit off more than they can chew by becoming demon slayers, no one outside of the main characters and Hashiras can do anything 😭 like idk if I would even trust most of these guys as backup support at this point lol. Not sure what they were cooking with the paper airplane part lmao, but I wish the Hashira 2v1 was longer. DragonYuk said: 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 Because training and no flashy action and pretty colors = filler, apparently. And yea there's a lot of anime-original filler in these episodes but if they did this arc in 3 episodes and moved on I guarantee people would still be bitching about it. Damned if you do damned if you don't. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Wow they really, *really* tried to make that releasing of paper airplanes the most dramatic TV moment of all time lmfao. I thought I was watching the Disney Channel |
| I don't care if it's the training arc, that doesn't mean it's interesting. It's okay to say a popular anime isn't all that good. And if you think it's because I'm an action junkie, the Swordsmith arc was also extremely mid. It seems like the story and pacing have taken a super downward trend. Entertainment District Arc was easily the highlight of Demon Slayer. Even the first season was pretty average shonen anime. The more I think about Demon Slayer the more I realize it really is just a mid tier shonen. I'm not going to stop watching because I truly believe you should watch things that are bad to understand what's good even more. I understand why it's popular but I wish people would stop using that as a reason to say it's exceptional. |

thebrentinator24 said: It seems Kimetsu no Yaiba lives rent free in some people's heads. They feel compelled to criticize it at every turn. ;p Story-heavy moments are considered bad because they want more action, and action-heavy moments are dismissed as the story being basic. No matter what the show does, they seem to find a reason to complain.Because training and no flashy action and pretty colors = filler, apparently. And yea there's a lot of anime-original filler in these episodes but if they did this arc in 3 episodes and moved on I guarantee people would still be bitching about it. Damned if you do damned if you don't. This happened several times before, like during the anime adaptation of the Entertainment District arc. There were viewers upset that the show didn't jump straight into action, and most likely the same people later complained about Kimetsu no Yaiba being nothing but flashy fights after the build-up phase ended and the action started. I sincerely hope these are just frustrated kids who are seething over a cartoon, not adults acting like spoiled brats who who can't tolerate other people enjoying something they don't enjoy themselves. Or watching it. Or even said thing existing, lol. |
| This is how you write a bad training arc. If you had just made the Hashiras fight each other in every episode for training, it would have been 100 times better. Instead, you watch NPCs getting trained who won't be relevant for even one second in the future, getting dialogues and such. Who cares about these fodders? |
