Giyu and the beautiful Shinobu arrive to the mountain to support the other demon slayers, as for Tanjirou, he meets an absurdly powerful opponent.

I was sad to see how poor Zenitsu was transforming, but Shinobu's beautiful appearance gave me hope that Zenitsu could be saved. What a beautiful way to appear on the scene, I like Shinobu so much so far.
Inosuke must face the resistant father demon spider, at first it seemed difficult to defeat, but Inosuke is too stubborn and ends up cutting off the demon's arm, but the damn demon changed his skin and now is more powerful which ends up demoralizing Inosuke, but he remember the words of Tanjirou and the old woman and he regains his fighting spirit, although this is not enough to fight evenly against the father demon spider and when this demon was about to kill Inosuke, Giyu arrives and gets rid of the father demon spider .

Tanjirou pisses off the kid demon spider by telling him that his family bond is false, the little monster is too powerful, that spider web is lethal that way he shattered the cocky demon slayer was terrifying. The worst part is that the spider web is so sharp that it shattered Tanjirou's katana and we don't know if Tanjirou received the lethal cut, what an overwhelming cliffhanger.

I don't know about you, but I think it's quite obvious that the kid demon spider is the one that belongs to the twelve demonic moons, the way in which the presence of this kid affected Tanjirou reminded me of when he met Kibutsuji Muzan.

Have no fear kids, the cavalry has arrived ! Seems like there's a very important gap between different ranks within the Demon Slayers.

But now Tanjiro's facing the final boss, who's a really tough guy, eh.

Rewatching the episode, I just realized something: Isn't half of Giyuu's clothes, Sabito's?



Of course, they were both trained by Urokodaki. The whole Water Breathing and all... But this means they were friends, right? So Giyuu wears his clothes as a memento or something. That is so beautiful if that's really it :( And such a nice detail. I wonder if the other half belonged to someone that Giyuu lost as well? Or if it's just part of his original clothes (since they are the same color as his swordhilt). awwww I want to know more about his story now.

I think this episode was important for Inosuke to grow. There are times when acting brash can be useful, he did slash off daddy spider's arm, however it can lead to death, whether that be his own or the death of others. What if the pillars didn't come? He would've been dead at that point because Tanjirou is busy fighting two other demons and Zenitsu can't move because of the poison coursing through his body.

Inosuke is going to grow from now on and in the manga, I started liking him much more after this arc. He still says and does dumb things and is still brash to an extent but he realizes his weakness and becomes more appreciative of others. In the previous episode, you can see him getting angry when Tanjirou was mentioning his wounds and trying to dress them. He's going to grow and so will all of them, including the pillars.

I'm glad to see Giyuu again, he's one of my favorite characters in the series. I'm so-so with Shinobu but she's a very important character. I can't wait to see Nezuko again next week. We need to see the muse again.

No that cliffhanger!! That sure was a dirty move.
And also damn, poor random demon slayer. He got sliced as if he was cheese.

Overall, it was another nice episode. Inosuke had it rough against spider dad but he managed to put up a decent fight for the most time until Giyuu appeared. The little glimpse we got from his past was interesting, by the way. I hope his character receives more insight before this season concludes.

And on a side note, the scene where Shinobu descended over Zenitsu was simply beautiful. Not to mention that the OST used during the episode was quite spectacular as well.

Holy Fudge, this was some Episode!

Animation for the entire show has been mesmerising but even then I feel as though this episode totally outdid all the previous episodes! Mate, the level of detail put into the water scene there was freakin’ lit!

Damn, Giyuu’s introduction though, bloody amazing with the addition of those footsteps right before the climax. Mad props to Inosuke though, he really gave it his all despite the odds. A big stand of ovation to Matsuoka-san though, that was some amazing VA there! Looks like he’s finally understood the meaning behind the words of the Inn Grandma too, quite the moment of realisation imo, and was that his mother/elder sister there? Looks like he’s been through a lot, no wonder. A little surprised that the Twelve Kizuki member was beaten that easily though, was he really a part of the Twelve Kizuki or is Giyuu just Muzan-level or something?

Anyway, on the other side of things, it looks like Zenitsu’s managed to hold on just about enough. Hayami Saori’s gold voice plus that beautiful introduction, oh boy that was sublime! Looks like Tanjirou’s in real deep trouble though, after all that provocation (which was abolsutely on the mark). Had goosebumps there seeing the thread just cut through the blade and vroom in to the screen.

Can’t wait to see how he survives the ordeal! Will Nezuko-chan intervene to save the day?




I don't think the dad is the member of the 12. It's too obvious and too easy. The twist for me is the real member of the 12 is the sister (classic powerful but kind and unwilling to use it) but it could also be the brother who reminds me of Lubbock from Akame Ga Kill (😭😭) I loved how he used his weapon.

Nezuko's intervention is probably the best option but even at it. It's weird to think she would just know when to pop.

I agree. Well, the sister being the Twelve Kizuki member might be a letdown for many, maybe even I who knows, so I’d rather have it be the brother if I’d to choose between the two. Well, we’ll find out soon enough in 6 days’ time.

Yup, she’s appeared like this in a similar situation before too, right before Tanjirou encountered Muzan I think it was, so I suppose she can do something of the sort whether it be for the sake of plot or for a more legitimate reason.

The level of detail the animators put in making the water look realistic deserves an award. I've never seen anything like that in an anime TV series. Even Violet Evergarden's jump across the pond doesn't come close.

Dayum what a fine episode, once again from last episode.

Oh wait, dat water 3DCG at the river scene. That was some realistic water animation effects.

Inosuke facing true deathly fear, out of the depths of his frontal attacks, for the 1st time since he pops up since then, and Giyuu from back in the Exam arc makes a comeback by saving him. It's been hella long time since we ever saw him in action.

Tanjirou on the other hand, faces the cruelsome brother of the sister spider whom he desires to save. Is he one of the 12 Kizuki? Honestly, I'm still up in arms.

And WHAT THE HELL Ufotable, that's a dirtysome cliffhanger! Regardless, another excellent episode in the books.

Inozuke and tanjiro are really struggling to beat those guys. They have a hard time putting of some damage in their respective enemies. Then here comes the support which just slashed quickly the enemy.

They do have same attack as of tanjiro but you know its a level up one. Hahaha...

This just to show you how far tanjiro is compared to those on higher ones in terms of power

Awesome episode. Inosukes tenacity stood out as well as the fantastic OST.

The two top class Demon Slayers seem interesting. And yeah, I was pretty disappointed by daddy, he just seemed like a mindless monster without any finesse. Definitely not suitable for a member of the 12.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but those creepy and wide eyed spider bald heads staring up at Zenitsu's location at the hanging house...actually look cute from a distance. LOL


Oh crap...the thread broke his blade! The cliffhanger on this will kill me as well! >_<

If Giyu just cut up old Spider Dad just like that and the dude didn't recover, he might not be the Kizuki member we're looking for here...come on, I expected more fight from a Kizuki even fighting a Hashira! If it is so then, either the one fighting with Tanjirou is the Kizuki...or the Spider sister?

Inosuke was brilliant. He certainly hates thinking with his head a lot, but he had to rely on all of his knowledge and a massive amount of stubborn determination for him to survive against the massive spider father after Tanjiro was smacked out of the battle.

But despite giving it his all, Inosuke's duel katana swords broke on him and he was at the mercy of spider father's crushing grip. Just hearing Inosuke's head getting slowing crushed like that was painful, but Giyuu arrived in time to take down the father with relative ease.

As for Shinobu, she was able to get to the heavily poisoned Zenitsu in time as well. With her at his side, I'm sure that Zenitsu will make a full recovery now. =)

Tanjrio was able to soften is crash landing, but ended up encountering the spider kids, with the brother deliberately hurting his sister. Tanjiro shouted out some brutal and truthful words at the spider boy, which in turn made the little bastard pissed off and thus, the two battled against each other.

And that led to the moment where Tanjiro's sword snapped in half, which completely caught me off-guard. Just to add insult to injury, the episode ended there as well. WHY?! X_X

What a great episode this was, filled with some excellent animation and also one of the best CGI uses of water that I've seen in anime. It looked pretty amazing, honestly. =)

This episode was really great, I loved it !


But..something just came to my mind
(I'm an anime-only watcher, I didn't read the manga yet)

What if the 12 Moons' member was actually the kid, and not the dad ?
I mean, the dad was powerful but seemed to be more like a mindless beast with a huge strength, but Giyuu killed him REALLY easily
Meanwhile, that kid looks really powerful, so...maybe Tanjiro will have to face his first 12-Moon demon (if we consider the drum-demon wasn't a 12-Moon member anymore)

What a great episode... Fights were incredible. Especially the fight with the spider dad was definitely standing out. They managed to damage him twice but not enough for it be down for good, only for it to shed it's skin and becoming even tougher... Inosuke was almost done for, but Giyuu came to his rescue...

Zenitsu didn't look too good, damn :/ Not gonna lie though, Kanao landed beside him like an Angel rescuing Zenitsu from death's clutches.

That son of the spider family has some tough webs... that guy who got sliced up, that sounded nasty.. Really glad they don't hold back on anything.

The writing in this show can be absolutely abysmal. I like how that one kid/demon slayer took his time to spew out exposition to the audience about his entire life story and goals in the most unnatural way possible before getting diced (rather than immediately sneak attacking the demons like anyone with half a brain). That was hilarious.

Seeing Inosuke been crushed while you watch his past when he had been abandoned was so overwhelming until was suddenly saved. Hope to see the growing up of he and Tanjiro once they get out of there and train. By the way the animation of river scene was marvellous.
