| Damn, I really thought Tanjiro killed Rui in the last episode. Guess that shows how much Twelve Kizuki are in fact powerful. Overall decent episode, nice that we got some backstory on spider demons. And I swear Shinobu is scarier than most demons in this show so far. |
| Huh... so the spider mom was a loli. And the person she remembered before she died was probably her own mother. Damn, that's really sad. Shinobu, you're awesome! Her flight and her attack were so beautiful. And her voice... her voice! It's always a pleasure to hear Saori Hayami's voice. |
| It felt kinda like an asspull that Rui didn't die. Oh you were going to chop off my head so I did it first HUR HUR. lol, also how bs is it that Hashima guy just finishes him off so quick and easy? Why did this have to take this W away from my boi Tanjirou? Lame af if you ask me |
| ok the fights and backstories are so awesome |

WUT. Tomioka Giyuu already appeared since First Episode and Tanjirou could become a Demon Slayer because Giyuu recommended him to Urukodaki. He also appeared before this episode when he helped Inosuke from Father demon. Do research before make a statement. |

Why did this have to take this W away from my boi Tanjirou? Lame af if you ask me Last week people called "asspull" because Tanjirou seems to win with his Hinokami Kagura. Now people call "asspull" because Rui survive before killed by Giyuu. Heh |
|
| And yet another amazing episode! It's getting darker and darker with each episode, I'm really loving these episodes! This anime might even end up in my favourites Btw Episode 19: Tanjiro kills Rui: "what an asspull this anime sucks" Episode 20: Rui is not dead: "that's bullshit why isn't he dead, now episode 19 is actually bad and makes no sense" What's wrong with these people? And I'm afraid people will start comparing every single episode to episode 19 now, and rate based on that.. Obviously ep19 is not something that an anime can pull several times We probably won't see something like that in this season yet |

| I can't get why there's been people dissapointed Giyuu's rescue, I was almost waiting for it. Now I'am excited to apreciate a good training from these demons slayer's. Shinobu was like a typical yandere character with an unique big power not that much interest to me. And by the end while demon was dying I was closely to complete his phrase as 'That's right , I've never had brothers, I was a fucking orphan all my life' some shit like that LOL. PD People oversensytive must no take it seriously please.  |

| Also, anyone who says the beginning of this episode made episode 19 useless, clearly didn't understand what episode 19 was about It wasn't all about killing Rui at all I really don't know how to say this, I hope this makes sense: Episode 19, and that fight at the end(the last 5 minutes), was all about family, that what a real family bond is like Of course, Tanjirou wanted to kill Rui, but more importantly, he wanted to prove that a real family bond is not something that someone just can take away from you Like he said: The bond between me and Nezuko can't be severed by anyone It was about Tanjirou showing Rui what a real family is like, and trying to prove his wrong, about Rui's bond of terror and his fake family, and that he can't just steal the bond of others as he wishes Episode 19 wasn't useless at all, and Tanjirou's effort weren't useless either |

You should rewatch the first episode. And it is obvious Tanjiro can't defeat an Lower Moon by himself, he is just a newbie and his sword is broken. If he killed Rui, it would be nonsense. Yes, I forgot about him, I'm sorry that this anime's characters end up being that forgettable. Yes, of course it is too soon for Tanjiro to win against a Lower Moon, But it would have been better if Rui lived after being damaged a little instead of 1-hit killing him. Totally kills the purpose and Tanjiro never learned anything from it. |

Xenocrisi said: HereticHunter said: Exactly as I felt, this episode almost TOTALLY ruined last episode by showing us how that spider boy didn't die because some bullshit reason, only to get the show stolen by some random dude who hasn't even been introduced yet Wait what. Kimetsu no Yaiba, unlike all the other shounens, keeps the power levels grounded from start to finish without exceptions. I kinda see where you’re coming from, but it was already stated last episode that Tanjrou couldn’t beat him no matter what. Kimetsu no Yaiba is not that kind of series. It follows its rules and logic. You should praise the fact that it makes more sense this way instead of complaining IMO What you want =/ logic Do not misunderstand me. There are far better ways to deal with this situation than just making someone appear and steal the show by oneshotting like that. Making Tanjiro win wasn't any good either, what I mean is that all that emotional display from last episode gets completely shadowed after this conclusion, specially considering how it felt like Tanjiro didn't learn anything from this fight. They could have let Rui live and save its closure for a decisive battle latter when Tanjiro gets more skilled. |

I can understand what you are feeling but this development it's better for the story progression. I'm sorry that this anime's characters end up being that forgettable. But no, Making Tanjiro win wasn't any good either, My complaint is how they ruined all that emotional display from that last episode, only to be stolen by this guy who casually oneshotted him. This makes it feel like Tanjiro didn't learn anything from it. Tbh, they should have considered a rematch for Tanjiro when he gets more skilled by making Rui flee or something like that. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Ofcourse Tanjiro was not able to actually kill him, I would have been amazed if he did. Luckily Giyuu made it in time to kill Rui. An Eleventh Water Breathing form, interesting, Tanjiro was as much surprised as I was.. I wonder if there are actually more than 11. That's one messed up backstory for Rui. Being a demon and not able to remember your past. He just wanted to have a family, but lets face it, it doesn't justify a single thing he did, or how he treated "his family members".. Shinobu, got to say I like her. Just as Giyuu she's so OP. But she's pretty cute, but damn that voice! Actually can't wait to see if Zenitsu is okay now and if Inosuke has managed to free himself XD KlinyKlinn said: ueeehhhh?!?!?! ngl I was sure it was hanazawa since they have similar voices but it may just be me :< Shinobu's first introduction, I actually also thought that it was Hanazawa, but from this episode, listening to just her voice now, all I can hear is Yumeko from Kakegurui... |

Now people are disappointed that Giyuu came in and saved him which resulted in rui dying. I dont think it took away anything from the last fight personally, because as an anime only I was on the edge of my seat. I stlll love the fight and will still re watch it because of how beautiful it looks and how touching it is for me. Are there better ways to get rid of rui without tanjrio or giyuu? Yes, but those ways wont exactly please everyone either and the same argument will still happen. Every possible outcome has been done to death in anime before, it all just matters to the individuals taste on the scenes execution really. |

This guy killing Rui made the whole family bond thing ALMOST pointless, Its not that Tanjiro didn't kill him neither Rui surviving his attack. It just feels like a waste. |

There wasn’t any reason to “Shingeki” Rui. “Hahaha you thought you’d killed me, but you didn’t know my abilities and I took off my head hahahaha I’m smarter and faster than you Tanjiro hahahaha” Holy cow, Tanjiro should have been the one who killed the demon because of his family bond. The message’s still there, but yes, the whole family thing ended up as nothing, Tanjiro would die even after all those things from the last episode. I still consider it as a win for Tanjirou He clearly would've cut off Rui's head, it's just that Rui is turned out to be quite smart and came up with this idea this fast, which is fine if you ask me But seems like people are forgetting that even big shounen titles like SnK, or HxH have flaws like this, so it's not something that has never happened in anime It's just that last episode was so hyped that these people can be disappointed easily now |

| Btw, I just noticed something: Rui in episode 19: "My body is much more durable than any thread I can manipulate" Also Rui in episode 20: *cuts off his own head with threads* |

HereticHunter said: This guy killing Rui made the whole family bond thing ALMOST pointless, Its not that Tanjiro didn't kill him neither Rui surviving his attack. It just feels like a waste. For that particular episode, it did make it seem like the family bond he shared with his family, and especially Nezuko, would be the deciding factor in his battle with Rui. The fact that Rui didn't die and Tanjiro (& likely Nezuko) were about to be taken out, had it not been for Giyuu, does defeat the purpose of his entire monologue in Ep 19. Family bonds ultimately didn't defeat his opponent, just an OP character. |
-Aincrad- said: Btw, I just noticed something: Rui in episode 19: "My body is much more durable than any thread I can manipulate" Also Rui in episode 20: *cuts off his own head with threads* while that makes sense, it doesn't mean it's certain while his neck is harder to slash than the threads, doesn't mean a bunch of threads combined can't have enough power to slash the neck... i think lol |

| This reminded me so much of Goku V Freeza back in Namek. Goku also wasn't able to kill Freeza, Future Trunks came in and killed Freeza instead, only difference is Goku didn't need saving but fact remains that Goku SHOULD have been the one to kill Freeza due to their history, Freeza killed his best friend and his whole race which included his dad and mom (albeit he doesnt give that much of a shit for his race but still) while here its about family bonds. It has a similar effect here, we don't need a part II of Rui and Tanjiro, Tanjiro has already proved he's now stronger than Rui, he almost beat him despite having a broken sword, with what we saw with his new fire god dance breath he can easily slash Rui's threads if he wanted too so he wouldn't have the trouble he had prior to only using water breath. |

| Another gorgeous episode with more amazing music! |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| This anime is too slow. I feel like it should cut some parts to speed things up. Two of the oni died, and we learnt how Rui created his family (which—I am sure—a lot of us had already guessed correctly). That's it. That's all that happened this episode. I am finding this anime fun, but I wish it didn't spend too much of the plot doing nothing. Are they not going to take Rui's blood? Is Nezuko one of the twelve vampires? She is too powerful! |
| This new demon slayer, Shinobi, has some style ! Both visually (the butterfly outfit was really beautiful) and fighting method. |

Rui just happened to act fast, but that doesn't nullify everything that happened. And "winning" or killing the enemy wasn't even the point, hence it wasn't necessary. Tanjirou and Nezuko were able to overcome their limits to save each other, if they weren't successful then they would've also failed to save time for Giyuu to appear. All this while keeping power levels more or less in tact. A lot was done right here and people with a narrow view are nitpicking on trivial details or misinterpret the scene for whatever reasons. |

xoxo31 said: shane_nichols said: Yay random man to the rescue because the demon didnt die for some dumb reason. Ruined episode 19. You guys need to stop spouting nonsense, just because the mc character didn't get the kill. Tabjirou barely makes it out alive,& its all thanks to his awakened Fire dance skills. Also i would count that one a win even tho Rui pull his heads off knowing it will be the end of him. And Giyu isn't just some random dudes,he's one the pillars and probably top 3 strongest of all the 12. Finally someone! Of course it counts as a win Or is staying alive(and saving Nazuko) not count as one? He only didn't die because of the "Dance of the fire God" And thanks to this battle, Nezuko will probably change a lot from now on too |
|
| I'm surprised so many are upset about Tanjirou not been the one who defeated him, last week tons of complains on the "asspull plotarmor" and now that the power up wasn't enough lol. If anything this shows that a flashback won't make you win the battle on that world, sure Tanjirou and Nezuko gained something but they still need to train and polish it enough to be able to accomplish anything with it, heck Tanjirou's body couldn't deal with all the stress. |

| Meanwhile in episode 19, why tanjirou defeated riu that's absurd. Now in episode 20 why tanjirou didn't defeat riu. never change please, now about the epi well i like the characterization of shinobu but in the anime is more sadic than in the manga but I don't see any problem. I really liked how they adapted the insect Breathing . but I really hate the 11th Water Breathing is as ambiguous as in the manga. Poerdon for my English, it's not my native language and I know it should cause cancer to read it |

Oniichan-Senpai said: HereticHunter said: Of course the spider boy didn't die, he just cut his own head with his strings lmfao. What a way to ruin almost all the effort of Tanjiro from last episode. Then, this guy appeared and stole the show from Tanjiro. Butterfly girl is creepy, but I can't say I dislike her character. Weak episode 3/5 They're showing that not only is it power that defines the moons, but how they use it. Hell, Tanjiro barely beat the former lower 6th (drum boi) who was kicked out of the moons for being too weak so why should a low ranked demon slayer "flashback no jutsu" an actual moon? Don't misunderstand me, I did not want Tanjiro to win, at least not like that. But bringing an Outsider to finish the job is completely stupid, he meddles with all this family bonding shit and completely ruins what ep 19 build. |

| It really would have been a bit if tanjirou managed to beat Rui with that power boost. Thankfully the route it took didn't make his power boost a party trick whilst also serving to enhance the intensity of the 12 |

| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| they did a really good job with the anime original content of the sister's backstory. Cause in the manga I kinda liked her and seeing what that psycho shinobu wanted to do to her made me mad and hate shinobu. but the anime showed her backstory and how manipulative she is and how she betrayed her friend, causing her torture and suffering and eventual death, i don't feel so bad for her anymore after seeing what shinobu did to her. and i also don't hate shinobu as much anymore. and seeing her interaction with that guy is actually kinda funny and made me laugh. the animation this week is phenomenal as always. Shinobu's butterfly effect and that other's guy's water animation is freaking beautiful af |
