| Sssssssssssssshhhhhhhhoooooot. I should have waited longer for more episodes to come out before getting back into this, we ain't got long left anyway, but my curiosity got to me. These last two episodes were so damn good, backstories and everything were fantastic, and of course, the Cute Butterfly Girl is the craziest Demon Slayer so far. I love it. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Oh poor Tanjiro....he failed but got extremely lucky. |
 |
| This series never fails to impress. We finally get to see Shinobu! Damn, she's more badass and adorable in the anime |
 |
| This episode we get the messed up backstories for the demons as they die. Shinoa Shinobu was gorgeous as always    |
| I see some people here didn't like the fact that Rui didn't die from Tanjiro's ultra super mega badass attack from the last episode but tbh I'm glad that he didn't. He's supposed to be one of the strongest demons and Tanjiro's the lowest rank in their little group of demon slayers, besides the way Rui survived that attack is sensible and logical. Now, these hashiras are op af. How come they haven't won the war against that nerd who I forgot the name of that leads all the demons? |

| This episode was slow and yet all over the place. GL making up some opponents it's actually interesting for Shinobu to battle. I'll give her a chance though. Wisteria lethal to demons? Hm. All we get for spider-nee's backstory is that she's a scared kid. I was surprised spider mom is a kid. ;; Until next time. |
| Yeah so this is episode 20 and yet it still seems like these characters get simple (one technique/move) and clean kills. I like action with fighting and animation, whereas this series feels more like a passing of the baton between protagonists and antagonists over who has the advantage due to some empowerment. |
 |
| What an amazing episode! And what a way to introduce a new character, this new butterfly girl is amazing! And the other guy is also hella strong. I love the backstories of the demons, they are so great! And make u feel a little sad for them. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Shinobu's VA also voices another pharmaceutical anime character. Her being Shirayuki from Akagami no Shirayukihime, who is also pretty badass in her own way. Keep on voice acting bad ass girls Saori Hayami!! Keep on slayin!! |
| Interesting. We saw the background of Rui's fake family. As for Rui, just when I thought he was overpowered, Giyu appeared with his 11th form and killed Rui with one hit. I hope Tanjirou will be able to collect his blood. Shinobu was cute and awesome! But she could've freed that demon slayer (I forgot his name, but I think it started with M) faster from that cocoon instead of talking so much with her enemy, lol. Music was great, as always. |
| I liked that Rui was still alive after that attack from episode 19. Shinobu is a really interesting character. |

| gosh i love saori hayami and seeing her in roles where her cute voice can be creepy, similar to her as yumeko |
| Really liked the OSTs used in this episode. |
 |
| wow, what a shame from how the last episode ended that giyu killed rui after all. like there was literally no point for rui to have saved his own head with the threads if he was going to get killed one minute later anyways... that's so disappointing. ya'll could have let us have our happiness that tanjiro and nezuko worked together to kill him, instead of giyu coming in late to do some slashy slashy eleventh form to finish him off when tanjiro had to remember his own father to summon the strength aND STILL got trolled like that lmfao. IF RUI WAS GONNA DIE IN THE NEXT MINUTE ANYWAYS i'd rather it be tanjiro dafuq also this binch who betrayed her sister who thought of her as the only true sibling she had in the make believe family, bogus af. she didn't even get the drawn out death that shinobu suggested for her lol also, one thing that was very interesting was that the mother of rui's fake family was actually a little child... that's crazy. makes you really pity her character more than we did seeing her being mistreated by the 'father'. |
| So good, Ufotable is really doing an amazing job with the execution of the plot, but that is also cuz there was potential already there from what the mangaka created. Truly remarkable. Was expecting the Insect Pilar to be able to behead though, even if with a thin sword. |
 |
| oh man! Tomioka so CALM and so BADASS! nuff said 5/5. |
 |
| Shinobu is best girl. |
 |
In the end Tanjirou got saved by his senpai. Smart move of Rui to cut his own head off so he won't die, but it all came to naught when Giyuu arrived and easily cut his head off  |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Well.Starting to like Shinobu.But that sister was so dumb and still wanting to kill her.That was just plain character.And I like how while Shinobu was talking to that demon girl,the guy in the ball was basically melting away xd |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| In the end, Tojiro still needed saving! But another great episode! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |

| SO are the upper moons mega badass as the first lower moon we came across was shit and beaten by weaklings and the second one got beaten easily by a hashira |
| Greeeat... that's the kind of character that really wasn't needed by this series. 3/5 |
| Greeeat... that's the kind of character that really wasn't needed by this series. 3/5 Apart from that female high'rank warrior, everything went on as expected |
| What a messed up flashback :/ it was hard to watch... Shinobu is so beautiful! *O* Love the design with the butterfly theme and the idea about the poison. Perfect! Great episode as always! :D |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| I kind of liked the sister-demon but after seeing how she backstabbed the other (even better) sister-demon, she definitely deserved to go. ;( Also the reason Rui didn't die was stupid... why don't all demons just do that before they get beheaded? And then only to get one-shot by Giyu... nice. |
| Damn I didn't expect Rui to have cut his own head before Tanjiro's attack. Giyuu and Shinobu are too OP. Shinobu is really cool, it's interesting how she uses poison instead of beheading demons. The flashbacks of Rui's pretend family were too grim. |
| Why every female character in this show is either creepy or a demon? |
| Shinobu is a sadistic ass hoe omg we stan |
| I do like the new insect hashira girl. But I do think it kind of sucks after that huge move of Tanjiro's that Rui survived it only to be finished off in one second by Tapioca. It would've been better if the win had gone to Tanjiro and Tomioka could've simply arrived to save them still but be impressed with Tanjiro's ability to eliminate him. Or at least had more of battle between Tapioca and Rui. But I guess they need to illustrate the power difference. I hope Tanjiro & Innosuke can power up soon to be strong enough to take on one of the 12 moons themselves. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| In the last episode it looked like Tanjirou won but damn Rui had 400 IQ with cutting his own head off. At least with everything Tanjirou did he gave Giyuu enough time to make it to him. I can't believe how strong this guy is. The fight against Rui seemed he was toying with a kid. So there is an 11th form? Jesus.... The backstory of Rui and his "family" was interesting to see. That's definitely an aspect I love a lot about KnY. It makes villains so much better. But it was also sad. So the true reason Rui wanted a family was so could maybe remember things about his life as a human. Shinobu is no joke. Imagine telling someone about how you will torture him in the most cruel way and just smiling at the same time. Veeeery sadistic if you ask me lol. Nontheless her fight style looks beautiful with all the butterflies and how elegant she moves but the way she kills demons in the end for sure is so much more painful as just beheading them. |

| Shinobu = BEST character |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| We have known the potential of Tanjirou and Nezuko. They are really great siblings. Have those power to protect each other and pure ability. |
| Imagine if that demon took the slaughtering by Shinobu |
| The demon beheading himself was a clever strategy. Wow, it's impressive that there is such a huge difference. Giyuu just killed that demon so easily considering it may be a very strong one. Want to see more about Shinobu, her combat style using poison looks interesting. |
 |
| Damn, Shinobu really cool af, and so cruel. Now i am officially liking her character more, because she was incredible. And Giyu, yeah, its obvious he would pretend as a savior, after some unexpected battle before. Great job! The flashback of the fake family really unnecessary. To heck with their flashback, they were all just a fuckin monster! So lets see how shit happening on the next episode. |

| Um episódio bem ok depois de toda a tensão na batalha. A aparição do Tamioka foi necessária, mas acho que a execução do Kizuki foi fácil demais. Eu sei que ele precisou usar uma forma poderosa que provavelmente demanda bastante esforço, mas ainda sim eu esperava por uma batalha mais acirrada, se é tão fácil se livrar da unidade mais forte dos demônios o senso de perigo se torna menos efetivo. Por que os figurantes são sempre tão fracos? Eles não deveriam ser mais fortes que um mero Mizunoto? Se o Tanjirou consegue lidar com isso, eles também deveriam. Minha única escolha para lidar com isso é criar uma teoria própria, então na minha cabeça o Tanjirou, Inosuke e Zenitsu são mais fortes porque foram treinados por antigos Hashiras, por isso que eles dominam as formas. Pronto, eu consigo conviver com essa explicação medíocre. Agora, é sempre interessante entender a motivação de cada Oni, foi bom, mas nada comparado ao episódio passado. O tom de voz da Shinobu e a frieza dela é uma combinação estranhamente cativante, a variedade da espada dela também é bem interessante, mas por que arrancar a maior parte da lâmina? Isso não lhe impede de colocar veneno na katana ou ela é tão forte que não precisa disso? Quero assistir ao episódio 19 de novo! // A very ok episode after all the tension in the battle. Tamioka's appearance was necessary, but I think Kizuki's execution was too easy. I know he had to use a powerful form that probably takes a lot of effort, but I still expected a more fierce battle, if it is so easy to get rid of the strongest unit of demons the sense of danger becomes less effective. Why are extras always so weak? Shouldn't they be stronger than a mere Mizunoto? If Tanjirou can handle it, so should they. My only choice to deal with this is to create a theory of my own, so in my mind Tanjirou, Inosuke and Zenitsu are stronger because they were trained by ancient Hashiras, which is why they dominate the forms. Okay, I can live with this mediocre explanation. Now, it is always interesting to understand the motivation of each Oni, it was good, but nothing compared to the past episode. Shinobu's tone of voice and her coolness is an oddly catchy combination, her sword variety is also quite interesting, but why remove most of the blade? This does not prevent you from putting poison in the katana! Or is she so strong that she doesn't need it? I want to watch episode 19 again! (Sorry for my english) |
| Unlimited Rulebook, boku wa kimegao de sou itta. |
| The previous episode might've had peak animation and visuals but I'll have to admit that I enjoyed this one more since it was more entertaining overall. The entire backstory of Rui's pretend family really was a lot more interesting than any of the other demon's backstories so far and the two Hashira showing how they got their titles was rather epic. With how powerful Giyu and Shinobu are alone, I'm curious on whether the Hashira has decided to go after the Kizuki and get it over with or not. If I was a demon, I'd rather go face Giyu than Shinobu since I'd definitely die before realizing it, that's for sure! |
 |
| ?????...???? lmfao all that epicness in the previous episode for nothing? giyu slaughtered him like it was nothing. damn he is indeed OP, he made it seem so effortless. and this was simply stunning  hauntingly beautiful backstory of a "pretend family" they are sad creatures indeed |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| I forgot what this episode was all about, twas all over the map. Idk why they give so much backstory to each demon. best to just chop of their heads at let them rot out. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Giyu really is quick, just slices of the head like its butter compared to Tanjirou who almost lost his life. The other hashira Shinobu is terrifying as hell by trying to make the demons repent their sins by not immediately killing them but torturing them. |
