| Wow I think that was one of my favorite episodes yet! Inosuke and Tanjirou's teamwork is doing pretty well, meanwhile Zenitsu is left behind in the forest of course. I feel really bad for that Demon Mother, it was awesome to see that rain move Tanjirou used on her for a painless release. I'm excited to see what these other demons are gonna bring to the table in the next few episodes. |
| Another great episode. I felt sorry for the mother spider demon after she was being threaten, but Tanjiro gave her a painless death so that she can finally rest in peace. LOL at Inosuke turning the mission into a competition between him and Tanjiro. I think we are going to see some action from Zenitsu because another spider demon was following him. I'm surprised that this series has not got another OP/ED after 16 episodes even though I still like them. |
 |
| Fantastic episode. I like how kind Tanjiro is, even to demons, and that through his character it's showing that kindness isn't weakness as it is sometimes misinterpreted to be. Judging from Inosuke's actions this ep (getting happy for being praised, letting Tanjiro have his moment to shine, etc.) i think he's going to have some really brilliant character development in the future. With someone following Zenitsu i'm expecting that hella fucking awful side of him to be released next week. Also, where can i get me a Chuntaro? Cause that little sparrow is so darn cuuuute! |
 |
| It is common misconception, that Kimetsu no Yaiba is a story about revenge. It is NOT. Tanjirou does not chase after Muzan to avenge his family. He never even mentioned that. Or even expressed any form of grudge against him or other demons. Quite opposite. He mourns them for what they have become. His only goal is obviously to cure his sister and he does not concern himself with anything as petty as revenge. That would not bring his family back. He knows, he should help those who aren't beyond saving. How Tanjiro treated spider lady proves this. "We can be better than this." AOTY |
 |
I liked how they showed Tanjirou switching forms at the last second when he realized Spider Mom just wanted everything to end. |
 |
| This episode seems to have put the series back on track. It seems that the less Zenitsu appears the better it gets. XD The scene of the death of the spider was one of the most beautiful so far.

| Inosuke went from annoying angry boi to best angry boi in a few episodes, his fluffy reactions are the best lmao |
 |
| I was very entertained in the Taisho Secret part of this episode gave me a good laugh |
| Wow from righteous wrath for sheer cruelty that even Inosuke felt it too, to gentle execution (heck even the name of the Fifth Form is so peaceful and such merciful relief, "Blessed Rain After the Drought") coming from instant understanding and kindness in a heartbeat's moment. I love this episode! Spider Dad is probably one of the Twelve Kizuki? Oh boy...we need the incoming Hashira to arrive soon! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
The visuals in this scene were amazing Can't wait for the next episode ^w^ |
 |
| I swear, throwing those bodies on the branches was such a dumb move by Tanjirou... the threads were still attached -ya coulda realised. Okay. But blessed rain after the drought was a beautiful touch and gas made me love this series many times more; F to demon okaa-san. Can't wait for next week. |
 |
| This show would be so much better without those unnecessary comic reliefs and exaggerated screaming. I believe it actually was like that for some of the first episodes and that's what drew me in in the first place. Right now I can't take anything seriously anymore. Instead of being invested in what's happening I just think, oh well, now we have to be sorry for this disposable spider demon and her sad backstory. Thanks, stupid boar-face and yellow crybaby for ruining all the mood, now I just don't care. I've heard about amazing spider arc and that's why I decided to continue watching, but it was ok, I guess? Nothing spectacular. Maybe there's still some awesomeness to come... I'll still watch it but the show is pretty much degraded already from having lots of potential to be just slightly above average and meh. |

| Great episode per usual! To think that there were so many demon slayers in that forest. Action just never disappoints. Some great shots and battles this episode. Tanjiro and Inosuke are really working together and seem to be quite a good duo in battles. Also Inosuke doesn't seem to be that annoying anymore. Also their interactions are funny, especially Inosuke's fluffy reactions. How kind can someone be I wonder, Tanjiro just amazes me every time. Even after seeing those Demon Slayers in the trees getting their necks snapped by the Spider MILF, you would expect someone to just have no mercy on her, yet Tanjiro actually killed her off peacefully cause she had already accepted her fate at that point. Some quick thinking on Tanjiro's end to change his attack form before cutting off her head, to let her pass in peace. That scene was beautifully executed though! |
 |
| Yo Tanjiro is my boy! That spider bitch didn't give a shit when it came to those peoples lives *snap snap snap* all three of them, done in an instant. Inosuke's reaction to Tanjiro's aura was literally frightening, holy crap. Then my man Tanjiro shows her mercy!!! Like dude, I love him more and more each week! |

OrangeJP said: I liked how they showed Tanjirou switching forms at the last second when he realized Spider Mom just wanted everything to end. That what such a humane action on Tanjirou's part. After all he has been through and anger he has - he's still human and treating the enemy humane. That nuance in his actions and his overall humility are so much larger than the story being told. Mother Spider Demon is tragic and her actions were out of fear versus malice. Doesn't excuse her actions but being a victim of domestic violence makes victims become perpetrators even when they know their actions are wrong. Her son is creepy af and Father Demon is an asshole - can't wait to see him suffer. This was a return to what made me like this show action and things are slowly coming together with the comedic aspects. The domestic violence subtext of this story is heavy so easy to gloss over because of the cool action. Kudos to writers writers for fitting this story into this medium. My only wish was a more overt conversation around the subject. |

| hated inosuke at first now i love him but zenitsu still no#1 in my heart :3 |
| What a downer episode, that poor exterminator had to kill so many of her allies, the one with excruciating pain, I did not expect those 3 to die, they usually get rescued or something on other shows and I felt really bad for Spider Okaa-san, imagine being abused and tortured to death by that dude without even being able to die to be released from that torment. Tanjirou best big brother. |

At the end of the day, you gotta remember that this series is a Shonen jump anime/manga. Heck a lot battle shonen are gonna behave the same way, Im the opposite of your view and I feel the show wouldn't be easy to digest if without the comical moments and crazy overreactions of the characters. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| You know the author is great at making antagonistic characters sympathetic, when a demon who has killed several humans and snapped the necks of the almost surviving ones is forgiven by the protagonist and most of the fans. I barely see anyone feel remorse for the humans compared to the demon, GREAT EPISODE! 10/10 |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Nice teamwork between Inosuke and Tanjiro, I was really impressed! That monster's death was a little bit sad though. Can't wait for Tanjiro to slay the father this time, and probably he's one of the twelve Kizuki. |

Dab1za9 said: H4nss0n said: If it's not adequately explained within the context of the fictional universe being portrayed, yes obviously. Like even simple shows like Dragonball can explain why Goku is stronger than your average human, this should not be hard to do. Inosuke was shown defeating a member of the demon slayers easily and taken his sword and finishing the trial easily and for Tanjiro , can use water breathing and have a strong smell that alone show he is more stronger than average Did... did you want to see Inosuke stabbing little tiny spiders the again that much? Also I don't know what the heck your talking about with strings connecting instantly, they didn't, they took a moment and it was on people who were unconscious, of course they'd reattach rather quickly. Plus it wasn't really a solution, they quickly realized that last episode, it was really just them figuring out how the people were being controlled, which allowed them to better understand the situation. They've done a pretty good job explaining everything so far, you just weren't paying attention. Also, probably yes, the main cast was probably taught things other members of the demon corps weren't, we saw Tanjiro go through his training... alone... with nobody else... and we see what he's capable of now. It's pretty obvious he was taught by someone special, but even then, we knew off the start that he had a strong sense of smell which has helped him a whole lot. And we can assume the guy running around with a boar's head on his head probably wasn't trained normally either... And we saw Zenitsu when he's asleep... probably not normal training. If that's plot armor, then yes, they have plot armor, but they kind of need it if were going to get anywhere in an anime like this. Also please count all the spiders that appeared in this episode and come back and tell me it was literally billions. Heck, go back and just count the visible threads on screen assuming 1 thread = 1 spider, and tell me it was billions. |

| It was nice to see Tanjiro and Inosuke fighting. I love how whenever Tanjiro complimented him, Inosuke has this sort of fuzzy effect around him, that was cute. I liked how Tanjiro immediately made his final attack against the spider demon painless after realizing she wanted death. I really liked the designs of the spider family, based on that flashback there's still a sister, two brothers, and the dad left to defeat. This ep was super enjoyable. Inosuke is probably my favorite character now. |

AnotherGuy said: Lelouch0202 said: I'm curious as to why they didn't just cut the threads of the ones who were being controlled? Tanjiro was able to cut Inosuke's threads but they weren't able to cute any of the demon corps members. Did I miss something? They could cut them, but they would just get reattatched. The secret was avoiding the spiders altogether, like Tanjiro and Inosuke were doing, but the demon corps guys were probably too hurt and tired to be able to do that. Tanjiro and Inosuke only managed to win because they noticed the strings right at the beginning, otherwise they would've died like the rest. ExaltedChampion said: They all demon, that mean they all have eaten people. That a cardinal sin that cannot be forgive. The only 3 demon that haven't eat anyone is the doctor'sassistant, the random man Muzan turned and Nezuko. Tanjirou might fell sorry for them but they al have to pay for their crime. Why Tanjirou didn't cut the thread cause it re-attact too fast since it too close to the mother demon. He cut them and it just re-attach immediately. I see, thanks for explaining. |

| Inosuke is honestly such a funny asshole lmao |

| Well the demon passed away in peace , Tanjiro changed his attack form midway when he saw she was embracing her death and gave her a peacefull parting. The animation of that scene was smooth af.Also looks like a true member of the 12 kizuki is here ,wonder what will happen now. |
 |
| I'm guessing they're going to use the same OP and ED until the last episode unless they surprise us in the next episode. It's not unheard of but most series that have 20+ episodes usually have at least two different OP and ED. Inosuke is becoming a little less overbearing but he will redeem himself much later on. I'm guessing the Natagumo Mountain Arc will last probably up to the 19th or 20th episode. He'll get knock down a few pegs by that time. It was adorable when Chuntarou decided to show up when Zenitsu apologized to him and Chuntarou trying to call out Nezuko's name. Also, the part when Tanjirou decided to end the mama's life in the gentlest way possible after he saw her expression. |
| 臭い- |
| Good episode. I feel really sad for mother spider demon while she has a lot blood onn her hands and needs to be punish I still feel sad as she regret it and the way she feel scare makes me reallly sad. Tanjirou is a kind and soft boy.Its good he give her painless death. No suprise coming from my favourite character in this series :) Inosuke is funny lol and moronic as usual. I thought he is becoming Less nuisance and annoying. Pretty funny lol Zenitsu lame as usual and pathectic this episode. Everything this guy does is lame and pathectic. Well seems a spider demon is chasing after him. |
