| I'm surprised no one has mentioned how Giyu and Shinobu just stopped the fight and pretended like nothing has happened when the crows were giving the orders I mean yeah they got orders that made their fight basically pointless, but still I found it a bit strange |
 |
| Chibi nezuko was the best thing ever, even with a cool down episode, this anime doesnt fail to deliver... but theres only 5 episodes left. RIP until next time Xenocrisi said: Ehmmm, moshi moshi? Nezuko running away from Kanao was like the cutest thing ever. It was just so overwhelming LMAO And DAMN, Muzan was hot as fuck in the past.  What do you mean, Muzan is still hot as fxck |
 |
| Great episode. Backstory of Rui is the first half of the episode. And the other half is aftermath of the battle that concludes this arc. Chibi Nezuko is cute. And other Hashiras appeared. Overall nice conclusion. To the next episode |
 |
| Felt a little slow, and man, how did I forget how annoying Shinobu and Kanou were in this scene? Anyways, it hit all the necessary nails.

The true answer might surprise you A LOT XD Well I don't know about that, but I can tell they would make hell of a fight against any of the twelve Kizuki, probably some of the best ones in shounen anime, mainly the guys on the left, right and in the middle |
|
| This episode ended up being quite surprising and suspensive, though the first half was really sad. I'm glad they did show Rui's backstory. It seems things are about to get interesting in the next episode. |
  Reach for the Stars☆ |
| Ah finally, Rui is now really dead & "buried", I thought we would never get to see him vanish lol A different episode this time, it went from PvE to PvP, or more like Slayers vs Slayers. Though this will be interesting to learn a bit more about their hierarchy. |

| Another episode too light on the Zen-man but whatevs. |
I wonder how much the seiyuu got paid for those Nezuko noises |
| Rui's backstory was very sad because he had a family all along, but he killed them due being manipulated Muzan. Once again Nezuko steals the shows by making herself small while running away. Zenitsu being wrapped up like a mummy was pretty funny. So next week we get to meet the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. I can't wait. |

I loved this episode for all the waifus that come out and as a nezuko although they can kill her he manages in the most kawaii way possible  |
| Amazing episode as always! Rui's backstory surely was sad, but that flashback was really well executed! Finally the girl from final selection, Kanao showed up, she is really beautifull and her voice actress suit her well! Nezuko running in chibi mode was so cute and funny! I am glad Tomioka kinda remembered about Tanjirou and protected Nezuko! I am glad they decided to capture them instead of kill Nezuko, i am really curious for next episode, can't wait for it! |
 |
| Rui's story was a sad one. i think that most demons have a sad background story. we are finally going to meet all of the Hashira. they all look interesting. looking forward to the next episode. |
| A really sad and touching flashback for Rui, as he's finally killed. How did Giyuu forget about Tanjiro and Nezuko from episode 1? Can't wait for next episode to see more members of the Demon Killing Corp. I never knew I needed tiny Nezuko in my life... until now. |
Judgment526 said: That's a male. It's never really specifically stated in the manga how the individual pillars rank power-wise, though you do get a general sense of where each one stands as you see them in battle, based on the matchups and their performance. Funny enough though, we do know EXACTLY how the pillars rank purely in terms of physical strength, and there are definitely some surprises there lol... Well guys, I guess it's time to revisit manga a little bit XD (we are currently at chapter 43-44,next episode begins 45) Although I will definitely not blame you guys forgetting that since the power ranking of Hashira is never mattered in the upcoming battle; s thus that little fun question will not spoil any plot points nor characterization for the anime-only people. |

| Nezuko is so freaking adorable in this episode like damn i just want to hug her and crush her against my body (tho she's probably shrink and slip through my arms) |
| I can see where this season will end. It will be a stronger Tanjiro of course, but it surely won't be easy. The music in this show is so amazing, it really complements the great art and animation. Also, little Nezuko is cute. |
  Once we realize it, everything will fall into place Our hearts calling to the future with all their might We'll move forward, holding each other's shaking hands |
| Rui’s flashback was pretty sad to watch. Shinobu loves trolling Tomioka lol Mini Nezuko running around was fun. Those other Hashira have some interesting designs. |
 |
| AW SHIT LADS RENGOKU HERE Mini nezuko pressing circle while being chased was hilarious, looks like we’ll end at train arc beginning These discussion threads have got a lot more active since episode 19. I’m glad the series is getting attention but I kinda don’t want it to blow up too much, I miss when it was quite niche |

I do remember that part actually, and the most recent chapter makes it pretty clear who the strongest and second strongest are, but as for how strong the remaining members are relative to these two and to one another, we can only make assumptions based on what we’ve seen them do. I’m pretty sure Shinobu is at the very bottom though. |

| They fleshed out Rui's backstory more here in the Anime than they did in the manga. They only showed his past on how he became a demon, killed people, how his parents wanted to get rid of him and his parents meeting him on their journey to hell or wherever. I liked how it was done here. They also added a humorous bit of Giyuu being bothered by people not liking him. They didn't show that until a bit later. That chase scene was a tad bit more serious in the manga. I loved that part of Nezuko shrinking into her little girl form and Kanao standing before Nezuko while she was sitting so adorably on the ground. Also, Inosuke will start to grow from this point on. He finally realized his own mortality. He defeated a demon in the mansion and quite a few which is why he is Demon Slayer but when it comes to stronger demons his ego was bigger than his actual ability. He will continue to grow stronger from here on out with his usual brash attitude but he'll know when to tone down. He becomes more likable after this arc. I'm so glad to finally see the pillars or hashira. They are fucking awesome. |

| Little Nezuko was cute AF! |
 |
| Rui's backstory tells us of family bonds. That as you become a demon longer, you slowly lose your humanity. It was happy yet sad that his parents really cared for him afterall. At least his suffering is gone and is reunited with his parents in the other world. Finally, Kanao appeared again. and Gin being a bro right there saving Nezuko from being killed. Dem Hashiras look tough. Lol Giyu and Shinobu's talk. I wonder what trials awaits Tanjiro and Nezuko. Pretty decent episode. |
| Uh... the Pillars sure are quite a picturesque bunch of people, uh? Not gonna lie, some of them look more ridiculous rather than impressive but I guess I just need some time to get used to their character designs. And by the way, talking about Pillars, Giyuu sure looks badass and all but he definitely should stop letting his guard down so often. First, it was Tanjirou with the axe in episode 1 and now, Shinobu with her hidden blade. Overall, it was another great episode. Rui’s backstory sure was sad but it didn't really make me feel empathy towards him. However, it was still nice to receive some proper characterization about him as well as more insight into his connection with Muzan. And also, not to mention that the conclusion with his parents joining him in hell was so beautifully tragic. I really loved that part. Once again, great episode. Now, really looking forward to the next one! P.S.: And in the end... Tanjirou didn't get Rui's blood :/ |

The true answer might surprise you A LOT XD I'm going to guess it's the pink hair girl. She's the only one that doesn't look "strong" but I bet she'll whip out her strength and surprise us all. |
This gif is the exact reason why i'm here. |
| Oh goodness Nezuko running from her has got to be the CUTEST thing. The Hashira has some interesting members |
 |
| I have to say Giyu made some dumb brain decision even Though I really like him a lot. First why did he told Tanjirou and Nezuko to run while holding out Shinobu? Considering he knows Shinobu has surborniate such as Kanao to chase after Tanjirou and Nezuko or he doesn t know who kanao is? Which is bullshit Smart decision is for Giyu to told Tanjirou or Nezuko to stay with him while he hold off Shinobu or Giyu,Tanjirou and Nezuko both run away together while Giyu fend off Shinobu If crow didn t come,Nezuko has he head chop up kanao, Giyu probably would have dodge shinobu blade considering his abilities. Either Its very good. I like everything that happen this episode and plus Kanao design here look pretty. Rui is one of my favourite demons this series. |
