tidoesstuff said:   Okay. Was it just me, or were these expressions just perfect; honestly though, this was a great episode. Tanjirou disgusting faces were the best. |
| i know some ppl find this new guy annoying but i think he's fucking hilarious. It's hard to imagine that he actually shares the same voice actor as Dabi from My Hero Academia. They're just so different, and imagining Dabi acting this way is so... Oof. This new demon has an interesting power. It's like one of those tilted house attractions and paintings. I wonder how Tanjirou will get out of this one (yes i finally spelled his name correctly) and I can't wait to see more of the pig guy. He looks like a fun fella. |
| This is different types of people between guy who can be serious when situation ask for it and silly when not which is Tanjirou then A guy who is silly all time even at serious situation which is Zenitsu. So People here saying Zenitsu is like us normal people in real world is bullshit. Who act silly and moron in situation as life and death like this. Tanjirou is way more realistic. I hope Zenitsu don t get anymore annoying. I already read the manga I like All main characters(just okay inosuke) Zenitsu is the only one I don t like If zenitsu get anymore annoying than this I will not watch this first half part. The second part is way better than which I already read And why I love This series. Zenitsu is literally opposite of Giyuu tomioka in Demeanour amd personality haha. No wonder I distain this guy. Everything besides zenitsu related okay episode still enjoying too see my boy Tanjirou he is my favourite character in this series equal with Giyu Tomioka |

| I usually don't criticize the comedy in shows aimed at a younger audience but holy shit this is so cringy and annoying! Zenitsu is exactly what this show didn't need but it had to have him because mediocre writers think they have to follow certain rules (like having a comic relief character) and end up overdoing them. |
| Yes as everyone's saying, Zenitsu is annoying. But if story telling of the show is good(which it is), I can see how Zenitsu has the potential of being a great character, if not even the best. Why? Because characters who are flawed or characters who make the audience actively dislike them have the highest chance of ending up being the best characters, because they have the highest room to grow. Compared to Tanjirou, Zenitsu already have that aspect in spades, unless the story telling takes a hard left turn(Shield Hero much), but I doubt that would happen. Also Zenitsu and Boar head dude appears as the closest characters to Tanjirou and Nezuko according to the ED, so I doubt people who already dislike him will keep disliking him. By the way I haven't read the manga. |

| my boi inosuke coming through!!!!! |
| Annoying comic relief character hoooo! Tick off that box on how to write a cliched action series. I really hope they tone down Zenitsu going forward and don't just make him the stock comic relief character. Breaking tension is a good thing but do they need to have him scream and moan like a pathetic child? I'm really supposed to believe this moron made it through the final challenge when he can barely stand on his own two feet and not yell and scream at the prospects of a demon being nearby? Our MC barely made it through the final challenge. |

| hmm well at least all the Zenitsu's screams and whining sound less annoying than i thought he would be; lol idk maybe because his voice actor is my favorite and i really enjoyed all the noises xD and i also think zenitsu is hilarious he definitely my favorite especially after that chapter- |
| I'm not surprised to see a few users here showing their frustration at Zenitsu's constant screaming and all, but I must say, even if he IS a little annoying at times, you have to admit that his comedy moments with Tanjiro was really funny. I almost lost it twice when Tanjiro showcased his disgusted face at Zenitsu's endless whinging. XD Anyway, the demon that both Tanjiro and Zenitsu are sent to kill looks tricky. Not only does he look fearsome, but his ability to change the layout of all of the rooms in his house in a blink of an eye is going to be a nuisance. However, a third demon slayer is also after the demon as well, which is the boar guy. His twin swords look really lethal and his personality is also crazy, but very likeable, too. The next episode should be another great one, I'm sure of it! ^_^ |
| The new charracters are breath of the fresh air the series needed and the demon looks really interesting. |

I’m usually not the type of person who says “he gets better”, ‘cause from a personality standpoint, the content of what we’ve seen this episode of Zenitsu, will stay the same through all the manga. He just gets toned down a little. Anyway, there are some reasons why Zenitsu is the 2nd most popular character in Kimetsu no Yaiba, even more than Nezuko and Inosuke (in Japan at least), and I assure you that by the end of the season, a lot of people who are hating on him now, will come to love him. During the next arc, you’ll see yourself why, ‘cause it’s there that he gets some important character development. Not saying he’ll change, but once you get to know more of him, you’ll start loving him. People who are patient will be rewarded. In fact, everyone who read the manga, or at least, almost everyone, were not bothered a little by him during this episode. I’m not ashamed to say that he’s the best written, and the most interesting, resulting the best character in Kimetsu no Yaiba in my opinion. |

It's fine to have a character's personality stay the same throughout the whole show, it's the character depth that needs to be expanded on, and as you are saying here that is what happens so all is well. I figured all that out from what we've already seen from the show, I think Zenitsu and Boar head guy are the only characters that actually have two appearances(or more) in the OP and have a prominent moment in the ED, and it looked like they are going to be a team with our main duo, that alone should have made it clear that they are going to be expanded on. It's just I'm sad that people aren't realizing whats in the OP and ED and are actually dropping this show because a character with high anxiety just shows up. |

Calxyaflos said: The first girl in this eps sounds like Kaguya (koga aoi) do you guys know who is VA I was thinking the same thing. |

| Man Zenitsu is an absolute lunatic. Amazing that he's managed to survive this long. Still even if he got really lucky during the final trial thing, I doubt he made it through without killing a single demon. This demon house thing is looking like it's gonna be pretty cool in the mean time. |
| tanjiro's faces at zenitsu are hilarious! also fuck this guy he sucks im gonna chop his head off bro how do u guys like this. go ahead and say im normie for thinking he's annoying. i know you're just pretending to be OK with him because it's the road less taken. Good on you |
| moe moe ichijou seiya |
| The girl Zenitsu wanted to marry really sounded like Kaguya from Kaguya-sama: Love is War. The impression was cute, too. Could she be a foreshadowing of an upcoming character with her voice? |

Our MC barely made it through the final challenge. I think it's not a spoiler if i say that zenitsu is a strong character, after all he is one of 5 kids that managed to survive the final selection. |

salbery755 said: Zenitsu made me laugh with his ridiculousness, normally I dislike the cowardly and annoying characters, but for some reason with this guy I could not hate him, his ridiculous faces and his exaggerated way of reacting made me laugh throughout the episode. After that humiliating introduction where Tanjirou meets Zenitsu, they are both assigned to a new mission (for Tanjirou's bad luck). Both find a house in the middle of the forest and nearby they find a boy and his little sister, both very terrified and they reveal that a devil lives in the house and kidnaps his older brother. Zenitsu apparently is not as useless as he shows, like Tanjirou, he shows to have an excellent sense of hearing, but it's too late and a boy is thrown from the second floor and he dies in Tanjirou's arms, fortunately He isn't the elder brother of the little ones. When Tanjirou decided to take action and take Zenitsu away he was too funny, Zenitsu was totally unnerved by the previous scene, but I wonder what face Tanjirou would have for that coward to change his mind? When they entered the house there was an atmosphere of suspense really well made, but Zenitsu's cowardice ruined it, I laughed out loud at the faces he put when Tanjirou said he was still recovering from his previous battle. The new demon has a skill that I like very much, the house is a kind of labyrinth that changes when the sound of the drum is heard. Zenitsu in his desperation to run away finds the boy with the boar mask and obviously the ridiculous Zenitsu made me laugh for the stupid face he put, I feel sorry for the poor boy who has to be with Zenitsu. Tanjirou discovers that the demon of the drums controls not only the change of rooms, but also the room can rotate, but in an instant the boy of the boar mask arrives at the room where Tanjirou is and apparently he is also a demon slayer. Damn this episode seemed well balanced, I know that not everyone likes characters like Zenitsu, but being honest their stupidity and cowardice made me have a good time (and if I'm honest, I did not find him as annoying as Asta) But now I just have to ask myself, what will Zenitsu's combat ability be? the opening shows a detail, but I want to see how he defends and saves the child (or maybe Tanjirou and boar mask do all the work), boar mask also caught my attention and I want to see if this guy will cooperated with Tanjirou to beat the demon of the drums. The name of the next episode called my curiosity, what do they refer when they mention that Zenitsu is sleeping? Also Innosuke>>Zenitsu |
| Pretty odd episode! Like it was good and funny for the most bit but some of the other comedic moments just felt .. awkward. Zenitsu sure is an odd fella and lol @ the comedy at the start with the short cameo of the village girl. Tanjirou’s disgusted face is soul-crushing too, I must admit xD. Boar masked swordsman makes a grand entry too and I’ve got mixed feelings over this. Mixed feelings over the whole episode, in fact. Hey, the demon at least is bloody freaky, like the usual, so looking forward to a cracking battle next week! Sound Department was totally on point this yet again, mad props to Yuki Kajiura! A little sad that there was no Nezuko this episode though and probably not next episode either ;-; |

And btw the writing won't make up for anything (if that's what you were trying to say), because it's mediocre at best and has many problems. |
| As an anime-only, Zenitsu is funny, but due to Asta levels of comedy, he becomes annoying. Even against the manga adaptation and the music use, unwind this episode amusing to a certain degree. And i gotta say, Tanjirou's facial expressions sealed Zenitsu's fate. It seems as if. And both him and Mr. Pig Boar finally got revealed! The demon of the week is pretty skilled Insidious-style, and then...cliffhanger? Great episode, if Zenitsu with his comedy style doesn't present better now. |
 |
| Kinda sad they remove the gag where Tanjirou can't ambush people since there no narrator. |

How can you consider what Zenitsu is going through as a joke, the guy being scared of demons and afraid of death makes him the most down to earth demon slayer in the shows world. Just imagine if you were face to face with a guy with two swords wearing a boar head and being trapped in a never ending puzzle would you be like Tanjiro and act cool, no. What that tells is Zenitsu should be the last person to become a demon slayer, but here's the beauty of Zenitsu, he became a demon slayer. He already is one. He didn't accidentally arrive at the testing location and accidentally become a demon slayer, he somehow got through the test and became a demon slayer, and if you remember after the test Zenitsu was the only one trembling with fear, I assume he was questioning himself why he even was there and not wanting to be demon slayer. And this is what's already making him the most interesting character, why did Zenitsu become a demon slayer? Believe me when this question is answered everyone is going to love him(And I haven't even read the manga). Right now you are supposed to be annoyed by him, if you hate him now, you are going to hate yourself for hating Zenitsu in the future. The higher the "cringy joke" of Zenitsu(as you say), the higher the impact of Zenitsu's character to the audience when above question is answered. But I doubt it would impact anyone if said one is willing to skip through a show. |

| Zenitsu is really a funny guy, her reaction were so awesome! Boar headed guys appeared, he looks really powerful, what a nice appearance! |

| Eugh Zenitsu. I was really enjoying this series but this character is just too over the top you know? I can handle a little bit of this type but whiny screaming characters like this are my least favorite type. I hope he gets a chance to build into an actual decent character but he has almost ruined this show for me. |

Ok I'm done using up my time for you. |
|
| Didn't dig the comedy at all, but the story was good. No Nezuko though |
| Just from the opening I know Zenistu is damn strong, and pretty cool kid. |
| Yes, Inosuke voiced by Matsuoka what a fun combination! I like Zenitsu but the comedy did seem to go a bit too far for my taste. Hyped for next episode. Can't wait to see what these guys can do. |
| I'd recognize that Matsuoka voice anywhere. That mfer lol. |
| Meh episode. The new character is hilarious and the boar masked is mad. The monster of the week is drum demon. Less action equals meh episode. To the next episode. |
 |
| Lol, poor Zenitsu, getting dragged into the Demon Slayer Corps. He was scared shitless too when that boar-headed guy appeared. |
