Sasuga Ufotable. That's some sakuga awesome shit there is.

Finally getting honed in on Zenitsu and his backstory, full or scaredy-cat issues, but of a heart of gold, wanting to protect the people he love. Yes, he has only ONE attack (out of 6 Thunder techniques), but that strength is molded from his lessons in his young days. The Zenitsu we know who is annoying, isn't annoying for that exact reason and comic relief cowardice.

Having more respect for Zenitsu, the once useless and cowardish boy, into a bad-ass powerhouse.

Zenitsu's master has the patience of a god to be able to put up with Zenitsu's constant crying.

The animation with Zenitsu's attack looked incredible!

I somehow already predicted that Zenitsu might be the strongest of them three.. The way he finishes the first one of the drum demon was overpowered, and he's real skill has also been rarely appeared that much, means he DOES have something special..
And the way he demolish the spider boy with his lightning move really got my spine shivering

he's too scared, that's why he need a state where he can fight without fear. And since he have a great hearing, he doesn't need to open his eyes when he fight.

Whoaa, Zenitsu was so badass this episode, for once I didn't miss Tanjiro being the fighter.

Will Zenitsu ever be able to fight while being awake? I just want him to realize himself how powerful he is and that all that training was worth it. I want him to value himself more!


And that big spider father... protecting the family, but abusing the mom? Yeah, right, whatever, just go and bite the dust *rooting for the slayer duo next episode*

Hmmmmm, gotta give it to the animators, the spider dude and all the people he turned into spiders were all really freaking creepy looking.

Zenitsu, is once again, actually doing something. Feel like it's been a while since we last saw that happen. And we got backstory on him, which was nice, I've been wondering about his upbringing for a while now. Dude may only have one ability, but damn, that is one seriously cool ability. Like some dude back on page one posted kind of,

Ok, I know that those spiders with human heads are supposed to be creepy but I found them funny tbh. It was great we saw Zenitsu's backstory which was pretty entertaining mainly because of his grandpa. He's probably the strongest of the three in the team when he falls asleep.

Tanjiro and Inosuke will probably have to retreat from this fight against that dude. Cannot see them standing a chance the way they are now.

The spider guy describes the effects of the poison, idk why did he
phantomfandom said:
A villain that describe his poison effect minute by minute, what a generous spider!

I think it's because the spider boy knows that Zenitsu is a coward and describes the poison just to scare Zenitsu, hoping to make Zenitsu lose hope.

The production value for Zenitsu's fight is off the roof once again. Freaking dope and epic! I'm going to guess Nezuko is somehow going to play a part and help Zenitsu control his power in the future.

At first I disliked Zenitsu, but after this episode, he really does make everything funny. So, that's how Zenitsu's hair is orange, interesting really. I guess he will die though, there's no way to stop the poison I believe. Seems like they're up against the Father of all of them, that's troublesome. Quite the spider nest those guys formed, really creepy. Funny & sad episode.

There is nothing more terrifying than bad CG spiders

This was a really heartwarming episode for Zenitsu's character development. He never believed in himself, but Gramps saw something in Zenitsu that he couldn't see. He has natural talent to be a strong Demon Slayer but lacks confidence in conviction and self worth.

Some really beautiful action cuts this episode as well. I think we just witnessed Zenitsu open the 5th inner gate, that power up was hardcore!

Zenitsu's attack are so awesome. It was great we saw Zenitsu's backstory. He just became a whole different character.

So Zenitsu's hair changed after getting hit by lightning from climbing a tree during one of his freak-outs. Fitting since he uses lightning moves. I wonder what his "gramps" saw in him to never give up on him? Interesting that this same Gramps used to be the highest rank in the Demon Corps

Zenitsu's backstory was great! It was good to see how his journey began. On the other hand he had to face that creepy spider demon with even more creepy ability to turn humans into spiders with big bald scary heads, lol.

Mastering only one form was the best for Zenitsu. What he is able to do while "falling asleep" is just priceless and astonishing. Plus Zenitsu got a huge power-up after being hit by thunder.

Pretty good episode, I have 2 complaints about it though:

1: I'm loving this anime but Zenitsu is getting rather annoying. I love his powerup and all, he's such a badass in those moments but when he's being his normal self he tries to act as a comic relief for the series and instead of me laughing at his antics I just find it rather boring. It would be better if they tone down that comic relief stuff, make him act like a normal guy for once and have him say important stuff from time to time but no, every time he opens his mouth is just to complain or say something stupid. I've had enough of that crap, a lot of time is being wasted on that crap and it isn't even funny, that's simply forced comedy, not funny at all.

2: The way he got his blonde hair was anti-climatic, he was struck by a lighting bolt and suddenly he has blonde hair? it would have been better if he got the blonde hair through his training, like being able to unleash his lightning abilities through the harsh training allowed his DNA to have some changes in the body and that made his hair change it's colors, that's would have been better IMHO.

That's my 2 complaints so far, a lot of time is being spent in the comic relief moments with Zenitsu acting, doing or yelling something stupid and this happen for like 90% of the time that fucking character is on-screen, they need to tone that shit down and find a better 'funnier' way for the comic relief moments.

It’s first time when I have met such character like Zenitsu. He is friendly and quite funny. I love when he prepares before the atack. Even though I saw it first time I knew that now wait for me something amazing. By the way this trio makes me laugh pretty often.

And Zenitsu got his own episode only focusing on him in almost this entire episode. I wonder why he only shows his true abilities while asleep, cuz he's so cool in his fight mode >.>

That Demon Boss's face is terrifying! x_x Just like a real spider... creepy. And I got disgusted while I watching those spiders with human head X(

Ok episode.

I have to say that the new guys on the team just don't work for me. In the first 10 episodes the show was serious and thrilling. You really felt the weight of the people that were killed by the demons an how tanjiro had to cope with that. Also, I really feared for every civilians life since the mood was that no one was save. For this to work there has to be a certain level of seriousness, because otherwise the effect is lost.

Starting with episode 11 this seriousness was destroyed by Zenitsu and Inosuke who both do not fit in the aforementioned setting. If I think about the fight against the drum guy where Zenitsu was introduced as a useless guy, who does not even try when two children are in danger, then that is the point where the charakter failed for me. And I have read that many like him, because he shows normal human behaviour with his fear. From my point of view that may be true in the manga, which I have not read, but in the anime he was introduced as an irrational and annoying person. The reason may be that his fear is not shown in moderation or in a normal fashion, but so exaggerated that it just seems like misplaced comedy and not a normal character trait.

So at this point I have to say that the show dropped for me from episode 11 and onwards, because it lost the atmosphere that made it so good and I fear that this will not change in the remaing episodes. Very disappointing since it was the most promising show in the last couple of seasons that was no sequel. But judging from the majority of the comments here it seems that most people do enjoy the introduced comedy so it seems not many people like a consistently serious and thrilling show.

This background story for annoying guy is better than most of the background stories of annoying characters from Naruto and Shippuden. 10/10. Kind of sad, tragic and poetic. Can't wait to see the significance of the lightning next ep.
