| Animation was top notch. Even the dad's kagura dance sequence was smooth as hell. The use of music was once again outstanding (coming from Shinobu's appearance last episode). |

But I give credit to what the writer wanted to do and to the production behind this episodes. 7/10 Actually, it isn't an asspull. Tanjiro was somehow trained the dance, he just used his demonslaying techniques to adapt it for fighting, not only this but his father was a demonslayer, so how is this an asspull? In regards of Nezuko Ability, how is this an asspull if she's clearly a demon, we've been foreshadowed thousands of time that she's an odd species of demon, and she can also have a demon technique. Why is she awakening her technique by this circumstances odd? It was perfectly placed for her. You know how would've have been an asspull? That she was just passed out and suddenly attacked with no form or connection to make that technique. Or that Tanjiro didn't knew anything about the sun dance, but he did, he learned it since he was little. Him remembering it in a situation where your life passes in front of your eyes ( Like it did with Zenitsu ) is not asspull, is a perfectly good way of making a character recreate a hidden power. It's understandable that at first glance you see something unexpected as an "asspull" or "powerup" but it really depends how the process of the characters releasing is made. Then if we just categorize this fight as an asspull, there's no shounen or even seinen anime that doesn't do an asspull, no exception. |

| Great episode, and just what i needed to get me excited for the series again, Zenitsu had become super freaking annoying for me and Inosuke was getting there, but the action in this just wow, was kind of expecting for Tanjito to be saved by the 2 that got there, the new powers, specially by Nezuko came out of nowhere. |

| A little late to the party but damn what ana amazing episode |
No, but when someone else uses that kind of words, ex : powerups, deus ex machina, and similars, I tend to use them a lot when i have to explain if the case it's the opposite. weird effect. |
| havent heard from Hayami in so long, her voice is still <3 such a good ep, thought he might have needed saving from Giyuu but guess not lol does anyone know the OST / ED from when he used the Hinokami Kagura? |
| Holy.. I mean I really started to enjoy the show ever since Inosuke joined the crew and the last few episodes have been pretty damn good.. but this one absolutely blew me away, and I'm not easily blown away if I can say so myself. This one sequence at the end was one of the best things ever. The power of insert songs hit incredibly hard + the absolute masterpiece visuals by ufotable. Incredible episode |
| by far one of the best, if not the best, episode so far. plot was amazing, the animation was outstanding not to mention beautiful, the music was appropriate to the momentum of the episode, and finally: our homeboy tanjiro managed to take down one of the twelve with a broken katana ayee |
 |
| The last 5 minutes of this episodes must've cost more than many other entire anime series out there. I don't want to mention any title, to avoid war. |
 |
| Great episode. But I don't like random power ups, so I'm eager to know where they are coming from. |
| On a second thought I have quick question Nezuko's demon blood art make only HER blood expolosive, or ANY blood can go boom? |

| this episode is so fucking beautiful and that ost is fucking amazing im literally speechless right now holy cow i wasn't even moved when i saw this scene in the manga but the way they animated it is so gorgeous i didn't even realize how much im touched until i started tearing up goddamn what an amazing episode that past episodes never got more than 1000 votes how the bloody hell did this episode have over 3000 votes!??? where did y'all come from!???? |
| 10/10 animation. |

That's because people are much more active when something really good happens in an episode(no matter what anime it is) In this episode something(we know what) has happened that is worth rating it and talking about But it's not just the number of votes, previous episodes barely had like 100-150 replies, but this one has nearly 500 now The same thing is happening now that happened when episode 5 of SnK new season had aired It blew up the internet, and everyone was talking about it, and the popularity and the score of the anime rapidly starting growing That's exactly what's happening with KnY now |

| this episode raise the level of the whole anime i guess |
 |
| EPIC SCENE! Beauty OST (finally) and beauty animation. The episode in general is fine, but finished with HYPE. Maybe to deus ex o asspull the tecnic but look cool. |
 |
| I hated this episode. First off, it's ludicrous to believe Tanjirou can react fast enough to dodge his attack just as his sword broke. Oh? he got struck in the face? ofc he did, he's the mc and has a fat amount of plot armor. Deus ex Machina, wow, couldn't have seen this one coming. At first I thought his life was flashing before his eyes, but no, instead he just conveniently and randomly remembers a fire dance that his father did back when he was a little kid, wtf?????? And for whatever reason his sister wakes up and gets a huge power spike to because of the power of their bond I guess, maybe. 1/5 I really liked this show at first, it was different. But now it's just becoming this typical shonen that resorts to the power of family bonds and deus ex machina. |
| Holy shit that was fucking incredible, I'm so glad I binged this series these past 2 days, that was an AOTY moment. The only contender to beat it is Vinland saga... |
| It was such a great and beautiful episode that I held my breath to the very last second. Especially I loved the soundtrack during the last moments of the fight scene. Fact that I have to wait a whole week to watch the next episode is cruel. |
| That fight scene was amazing. Poor Nezuko though, that looked really painful being hung up like that. Also the kaguya dance sequence was animated beautifully. I wonder if it was done via rotoscoping, it looked like it was. |
| Now I dont wanna be like everybody else and say this is AOTY but its Anime Of The Year |
| I hope someone from ufotable reads this discussion thread because HOOOOLY SH*T! The deserve every praise they can get for this beautiful animation and soundtrack. I've rewatched the last 3 minutes so much and I'm still absolutely blown away. Well done ufotable! *bows* |
Ventus_S said: Nah, the plot is weak there's no excuse, some anime has great plot and world building, but is the first season of Kimetsu, maybe in season 2 or 3 the plot can changeWarFirel said: True, but you know, the animation was insane, maybe the plot of Kimetsu no Yaiba its the weakness point of the anime Maybe you guys just don't like shonen lolz. I can guarantee you even Hunter Hunter and FMA has this. (Gong power up and the Edward brothers power up) Some people in Mal probably forgot they're watching an anime, not a masterfully written novel or something, so execution and production is actually everything. You don't need to have masterfully crafted story to get good result in anime medium, thus why the popularity of One Punch Man and Konosuba. On the other hand, you can have all the great plot you ever wanted still come out as total shit if your production / execution/ pacing/music is awful. This has been proven way too many times on anime and movies. |

Thank you for noticing that Tanjiro's Hinokami Kagura was something that he actually did learn with his father but never used because he learned the Breath of Water with Urokodaki and never thought that the dance could be something to use for fighting (or just simply forgot). I'm just an anime only but I think that was pretty clear. |

But now it's just becoming this typical shonen that resorts to the power of family bonds and deus ex machina. i don't really think him reacting fast enough to dodge the attack is that farfetched, and it's not like he completely dodged it, either, but that's not even a big deal. his life did flash before his eyes in that moment, which is why he even remembered the dance of the sun god in the first place. even shinobu mentions earlier in the episode when she talks to zenitsu that his mind is searching for any possible way to escape death. the only reason he hasn't ever used it until now is because he never knew it was a form of martial art. in regards to nezuko, we already know that demons naturally develop their own blood demon art, so it shouldn't be hard to believe something like that would awaken during a life-threatening situation. it's not like their sibling bond is the actual reason as to why she'd be able to summon the strength to do something. it's just her overwhelming desire to stay alive and save a family member that made her push further. in addition, by the next episode, you'll see that this isn't even a huge power spike at all in any way. i understand why the events of this episode appear ludicrous to you given how the fight scene played out and how spectacular the visual effects are, but i hope you at least stick around for the rest. |

Dab1za9 said: Esquirtit said: @Ventus_S Uh HxH actually has a power system you know, this show is literally emotion>logic all the way through. It's effective though but if this had the production level of Dr.Stone it would've been some total ass Keep watching the series make it clear that emotion won't make you win. I was exaggerating, but I didn't speak about the use of emotions in fights only more so a large portion of the story is just ass but I'll save that for last episode |
| poop |
| (speechless) I want to post an empty comment to show how speechless I am. Ufotable really showed us the true meaning of "Sky is the limit". |
 |
| This episode is such a masterpiece! I've never seen a such a fluid and well-animated episode, i don't know how ufotable does this...wow! just wow guys! Congrats! Everything was amazing in this episode, the animation, the backstory, the music was so well-timed! And the animations and effects are on a completely new level! I hated when that guy took Nezuko to him by force. So Tanjiro and Nezuko have like fire powers that were given to them by his father, and now we know that his father was in a very bad health state...damn. But what an amazing episode! 10/10 And look at the ED art cards!!!   And the last one...the best!  |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| That's what happens when you mess with a brocon's sister! Anyway Im pleasantly surprised with this turnout! I thought for sure Tanjirou would be saved by Tomioka but he actually got to take out the 12 demon moon on his own |
| An absolute surprise, wasn't counting with something T H I S great, even coming from ufotable. I don't even feel particularly connected to the story and characters of Kimetsu, but this episode pulled a *surprised pikachu face* out of me and was just so well put together from a technical standpoint. Goosebumping, even. |
 |
| Holy crap, most impressive episode I have seen in a long time. It wasn't only a beautiful visual feast but also had perfect animation and outstanding music, and this isn't even the last episode! |
