He just made his swords useless by shaping them like that. It may look cool but it isn't practical as his swords are now technically useless.

It's not about the sword, it is about the wielder on how strong they are, like what Urokodaki said on Episode 2. They are weak on Natagumo Arc, they still lack power that is why it brokes. Even if it is a knife, if the wielder is strong enough -- it will cut anything. That's all, have a nice day.


Everything said by Urokodaki goes to shit when you consider that Shinobu broke this rule as she uses poison because her sword can't behead. Writer drive itself into a corner here.

I know that and it bothered me back then, his sword maker had the right to be mad at him. Demons Slayer's weapons are supposed to be made to slash swiftly and behead demons. His fighting style may be that of tear and shred, but it didn't work before at the spider's arc, why would it work now? Its just unpractical, specially considering demon's regeneration. The fact that he had to cut a demon arm by hitting it repeatedly proves how useless they are.


Tanjiro wasn't able to cut the demon arm using his normal sword too so it doesn't prove anything. He was stronger than them.


That's just bad power balance common in many battle shounen.

Poor Kanao;( Sad background of course my ship is here;). Shinobu being Shinobu(manipulate/motivate) of course this episode which always makes me smile. Always my favorite girl. Very different from her past self. I didn't laugh much at the comedy in this at the beginning of this series(because the Zenitsu scenes aren't hilarious to me) but I remember laughing at the Haganezuka scene and its even funnier animated. The Inosuke scene too where he's chipping his sword.lol

I thought they were going to show Tanjiro unsheathing his sword and that it would become red. But maybe it'll only turn red once he figures out the fire breathing method (not flame breathing). This is all speculation btw. However, I read online that the black sword represents people with a tragic past that have yet to find themselves. Hopefully we get another flashback or reveal and Tanjiro will become a fire breathing Hashira with a red sword. That would be dope.

Shinobu uses poison because she lacks the physical strength to behead demons. She even says this herself. As a result of her physical limitations, she uses a sword designed for poison use, because that’s the only way she can really be an effective combatant.

That doesn't change the fact that it breaks the rule that the writer established early in the story. You can't just go telling me that the only way to kill of demons is by beheading them with these swords (Specially considering the training with the big rock), then change the rules because the writer wanted to make a cool character that uses poison to kill off demons. She has her justification because the writer shit on the rules HE HIMSELF created, and I'm not going to blindly accept it just like that.

Actually no, shinobu only using poison is actually an exception to the rule and a great weakness for her. The wisteria poision is also not infallible. Which will be shown in the later arcs. And no, shes not the only one to use poison. Sure, they dont use it with swords, but they use it with other weapons such as kunai and gunpowder.

Also, urokodaki's opinion is not shared by everyone. When tanjiro meet the leader of the blacksmiths in future arcs, his opinion is the reverse of Urokodaki, that the reason a sword gets broken, is the fault of the swords itself and by extension the swordsmith. In general, the series seems to take the opinion that both sword and wielder must be strong, but there are limits no matter how strong. Of course thats just my opinion as a manga reader.

I'm almost certain they'll announce season 2 at the end of next week's episode like they did with Fruits Basket.

I like Kanao and I do ship her with Tanjirou although their interactions have been minimal. Her background story wasn't until chapter 59.5 which comes after the train arc and they won't be showing that arc until the next season so I guess it's good they sneaked it in episode 24. Nice to see and hear Kanae again. She's so beautiful and adorable. Young Shinobu was adorable and more hotheaded than she is now.

My fave part was Haganezuka losing his shit and attempting to murder Tanjirou lol

One more episode to go and a long wait for the next season.

I'm glad Tanjiro has finished his training, cannot wait for the next mission. Also I think Kanao has a crush on him, how sweet.

Speaking of Kanao, that was a sad backstory, but it was too quick to end though. The writers should have capitalized on that story, after all I'm not in any rush since the story is far from being over.

Mr Haganezuka and Kanamori really made my week, :-D :-D :-D :-D


Are you assuming Kanao won't get her own story arc in the future? ;)
No.

I was just commenting on the length of this episode's backstory, that it was short and all. But in the future I would like her story arc to be televized!

Aww, gotta love those little butterfly girls, they are so cute >.<

Fantastic episode once again. It was nice to receive more insight into Kanao's character and more characterization for Shinobu was quite welcome as well. She really knows how to motivate both Inosuke and Zenitsu, by the way.

Man, so sad there is just one more episode left. This bunch of characters really grew on me so I really hope Ufo announces a second season at some point.

This episode was pretty good and finally, an episode where Zenitsu was not screaming like an idiot 24/7. In this episode I kinda liked Zenitsu, that character should have been like this from the beginning, he was more likable now in this episode.

Kanao flashback was sad, so she's a girl without emotions and can't make decisions on her own unless someone tells her and if no one is around then she will flip a coin to make the decision for her, pretty cool so far. I'm liking that character a lot.

This is unrelated to the episode but Nezuko is a force to be reckoned with because Kanao was trying to kill her and couldn't do it in time because Nezuko was running away. To be able to outrun Kanao you need to be pretty darn good. It took the main character a couple of days training like hell to be able to catch up with Kanao for a bit and Nezuko was able to outrun Kanao for a while.

To be fair, the main character couldn't cut that demon either with his sword. The sword is not the issue here, it's the wielder. You can give a Hashira that serrated sword and they would be able to cut that same demon like butter easily because they are stronger and more skilled than them.

There's only been like 2 or 3 episodes in the entire series that disappointed me. Everything else has been entertaining and felt right so far. But especially now I feel like we're getting into the real meat of things... just as S1 is about to be over. Hopefully S2 will happen.

This entire episode from start to end is so good despite being a non-action packed one. This might be the best build-up/slow down episode I've seen for this series yet so far. Totally enjoyed it!

I'm going to miss this show for sure but I just peek into the series for next season (Winter) and it seems like Winter is fully packed with a lot of awesome shows!! Winter probably have the most heavyweight series out of this year seasons.

It more like cause he don't know about Shinobu. New Breath Styles got invented each new generation of slayer to fit more to the person using it. Urokodaki is retired so he couple generation before Shinobu. Many of the current pillars use styles that are off-shoot of older styles( Sound is lightning off-shoot, Mist is Wind off-shoot, Love is Flame off-shoot, Snake and Flower is Water off-shoot while Insect is Flower off-shoot.)

I think I'm going to be a big fan of Kanao's characterisation. She seems very interesting.

I'm really curious to hear the difference between fire breathing and flame breathing, though. Seems I'll have to read the manga for that one

The three little girls cheering for Tanjiro are hilarious.

Shinobu is an expert on motivating people.

The beginning of Tanjiro x Kanoa ship was unexpected but since this is a shounen nothing will probably happen until the end of the series.

Inosuke damaging his new swords was amazing. He seemed so proud of himself too!

More rehabilitation training, at least for Tanjirou to surpass Kanao, plus the 3 lady servants were the most hilarious and optimistic for his improvement.

Seeing that Tanjirou is making a deep effort, both Zenitsu and Inosuke can't afford to be left behind. Plus, Shinobu sure is a cheerleader...in the most cunning sense.

For a moment, through Shinobu's backstory last episode, brings a lot of eerie feelings, that the current day Shinobu ISN'T the Shinobu we know when she was young, and had to live off expectations of her deceased sister. That situation is the same for Kanao, being an abandoned orphan who literally switched off from the world. The saving moment of young Shinobu to Kanao doesn't tell much, but due to their broken individual lives, both Shinobu and Kanao feels distant. All I know is, it's gonna be a hell long time for both to recover from each of their traumas.

In addition, with the arrival of Haganezuka, and with Tanjirou having a literate comedic moment where he feuds with his teacher having broken his lovely sword. Oh, the joys. Add in Inosuke who loves his sword in rivets, +1 for more comedy that had me laughing in spots.

The thing is...there's a demon on the loose. With the final episode to go, I'm really praying for a Season 2 announced for continuation purposes.

Another tragic dramatic backstory!!!!Poor thing,, but its getting a bit much when every character have a traumatic sad past, Anime you are overdoing it!!! The first 15 episodes was great then you have just fallen apart!!! Action are your strongest card. Humour and drama is not, but obviously you dont care anymore!!!

Was a decent and fun episode too just like episode 24. Tanjiro finally completes his training while Inosuke and Zenitsu will likely finish theirs too. Kanao and Tanjiro ship is starting to get in shape too. It's also funny when Shinobu managed to tame both Inosuke and Zenitsu. Haha. Ai Kayanon's "ara ara" is back too. One thing I noticed is that Shinobu's gotte softer now compared to what she was in the past (she looks fiercer there, maybe because of the death of her sister that she's gotten softer).

One episode left. Kanao's past was a great information why she acts like that, and Tanjiro, Inozuke and Zenitsu have been working hard to make themselves stronger. The demon at the train looks strong, and it looks like the Flame Hashira will fight it.

Take a look at my webnovel, read and seek the hidden truth behind the cursed ducks.
