| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was one masochistic request start, Tanjiro got good fast! lol at Zenitsu and Inosuke witnessing Tanjiro's improvement. That being said Tanjiro sucks at teaching but Shinobu's a damn pro lol. Kanao had some pretty good moments too. They adapted Kanao's backstory too which was nice, thought we wouldnt get that. NEP is the final one, its been a hell of a ride! gonna miss this once it ends. |
  |
| Kanao's background story is nice to see, not a huge fan of her character but it's kinda cute. The training part amsued me as usual as the characters tried to improve themselves. One more episode left so I have a feeling the show will end up some sort of cliffhanger. We'll have to see. Heh, we got somewhat of a cliffhanger this week. |

| For the seiyuu lovers like me out there, Kayano Ai was the one that voiced Kochou Kanae. |

| Inb4 Kimetsu no Yaiba is forgotten due to My Hero Academia airing in a few weeks. Great episode, despite not being action-packed, yet again. My initial opinion about Shinobu was a bit mixed, but after a few episodes, I can finally confirm it. Shinobu is best girl. The gang is still training hard, with Tanjiro finally "winning" Kanao. We also learned a bit about Kanao and Shinobu's older sister, definitely an interesting backstory they have. Ufotable really likes cliffhangers, don't they? Overall, 5/5 |

| Only one episode left. Damn, gonna miss this show. |
 |
| why they showed that fodder demon at the end lol and why the fuck they want to end the series at the beginning of an arc. and i bet they will end at a cliffhanger too. btw this season is stretched af and the pacing is horrible it gets a 5.5. |

| Pretty good episode to conclude the training I’m very happy to see Kanao’s backstory And OMG THE DEMON TRAIN ARC I’M SO HYPED Haganezuka’s scene was very funny tho  |

| I was expecting Kanao to break silence and show emotion since Tanjiro actually could win against her but i guess not. Nevertheless, her backstory pretty much explains why she's the way she is, sadly it must be a pretty common story to hear in the world they live in. Also, Shinobu really resembles Kanae now.. even if some of it could be her trying to make a part of her sister stay alive given what she said in the last episode. |
 |
| Great episode as always, will be saddened to see this end but I hope a second season is on the horizon. It is a WSJ series so maybe it's already been greenlit. Every episode just make me like her more and more, Shinobu is best girl. <3 I loved how she edged on Inousuke and Zenitsu. The training stuff was super fun to watch especially when Tanjiro beat Kanao which fueled Inouske and Zenitsu. Felt bad for little Kanao, her parents just solder her off. :( Younger Shinobu is just as good as the older one. <3 |
 |
| Man they have me excited for the next arc but I know it won't come 'til second season. So excited for that stuff to get adapted. |
| Another great episode. Zenitsu and Inosuke are finally determined to continue their training after seeing Tanjirou's improvement. The three little girls helping Tanjirou was nice to watch. Interesting to see Kanao's backstory. Shinobu is indeed the best girl. <3 That cliffhanger at the end. This needs a season 2. |
 |
| I bet they'll announce season two at the end of next week's episode. This show is very popular. And even more, it's Jump. |
| Well Kanaos story was a sad one and we got to hear her voice too. It was nice to see a younger unpatient Kocho and her lovely sister in Kanao's past. Btw I'm really curious to know if Tanjiro's reforged sword will take a new colour. Can't believe the season finale is almst here. Just hope they start s2 asap. |

DieuMivas said: Am I the only one who just wait that Tanjiro finally draws is new katana and discover the color that it will take? I just hope it will be red because if it’s not I just don’t understand why they explained that the red one was a really rare one who appear usually to people who have red hear and with family working with fire when he received his first one. What color is coal turn into when burning? |
| Awesome episode! Some of the Comedic moments this episode was gold but that whole scene featuring those swordsman easily takes the throne imo. Tanjirou's training is paying off quite brilliantly and seeing him beat Kanao there was very nice to watch, quite the hilarious final move there though I've to say. And gosh, those three girls are angels! Meanwhile, Zenitsu & Inosuke are feeling the difference so it's good to see them training too! Lol @ Shinobu there so effortlessly succeeding in baiting them to work. Kanao's backstory was very depressing and seeing Shinobu and her sister save her from the peril was a great sight! Certainly didn't expect young Shinobu to be like that rowdy though, she sure has changed. I wonder if we'll get more on the 'Fire Breathing' soon, really curious about that even more so thanks to the little convo b/w Tanjirou and Shinobu there. Yikes, those death flags of Shinobu again... Good to see Nezuko again and looks like it's time for a mission. Is this the infamous 'train arc' that the manga readers are hyping up? I think those first few minutes alone have hyped me up quite a bit lol. Jeez, those eyes though. Just one more episode to go ;-; Here's to hoping we get an announcement next week right after the finale episode! |

| they did not emphasize enough the Tanjiro X Kanao ship pairing there unlike in the manga but good episode none the less since Tanjiro mastered the constant total concentration already |
| They cut some four panels with Zenitsu x Nezuko that gave a little more depth to Zenitsu character, it was a pity, I think that they should expand those moments of characterization of Inosuke and Zenitsu instead of cutting it. I mean, showing Inosuke riding the deer, and Zenitsu taking the fish tank wouldn't add even 40 seconds of screen time, but they add a lot in characterization... |

| Inosuke smashing his swords was the best part of the episode lol |
  “The most shameless thing in the world is political power that can be inherited regardless of ability or talent!” |
| Lol Shinobu really knows how to motivate the others to train. Kanao's flashback was good and I liked they showed more of Kanae too. The scenes with the blacksmiths were poor gold. One more episode to go. |
 |
| Lol seeing Shinobu taunting Inosuke was so funny. I really liked her as a character and even more now that we got to see how she was when her sister was still alive. Too bad we have to wait another season to see more of her |
| Tanjiro is so lucky, the 2 girls who love him the most to him can't even talk |

| poop |
| Once again, another hilarious episode š¤£ The comedy in this anime is so underrated, it's pure gold :D Only one more episode left...I don't want it to end :( They better announce season 2 right after the last episode! |

| Lol, that's not how you treat a new sword. |
 |
| Shinobu knows how to fire people up. I wish she was my teacher and I'm glad that Inosuke and Zenitsu started training again. We get a look at Kanao's past being sold as a slave at childhood until the Kocho sisters free her. Tanjiro is fully healed and I guess his next mission involves the demon on the train. One more episode until I finally start reading the manga. Luchse said: Inosuke smashing his swords was the best part of the episode lol They will never make a sword for Inosuke again. He better take care of them next time. Mod edit: fixed double post |

| Great. Guess they've confirmed Kanao X Tanjiro, I was kinda hoping for the latter to br shipped with Shinobu, but what else can be done... cant wait for the finale. |
 |
| They better annonce a S2 made still by Ufotable next week or there will be a riot! |
|
| That cliffhanger tho I'm impressed, the next season is going to start immediately with an insane arc, can't wait to see it animated |

They might show muzan and the lower moons next episode as all they showed was a single fodder demon on the train, not UM6. You mean LM1. UM6 isn't until the Red Light District arc. Looks like they're saving the Kanao coin toss scene for next episode. Damnit, another week to wait lol... |
| ye the pacing is slow they only animating like 2 chapters per episode i think but im fine with it since we got more screen time for Shinobu and even Aoi |

| I realized something after realizing how stupid was that Shinobu had to kill demons with venom. Inosuke is just plain retarded, he just made his swords useless by shaping them like that. It may look cool but it isn't practical as his swords are now technically useless. |

They aren't useless though. His serrated blades tear and shred. They complement his fighting style quite well. |
| Ooo they are done with their training now huh Very nice. Good to see Zenitsu and Inosuke doing better now Kanao's backstory is rather deep too huh.. felt some sparks of romance there And they finally got back their swords! Though it was hilarious how they raged one after another. So Inosuke made their form himself with a stone huh xD was already wondering where he got them from It stays a bit mysterious with the Fire Breathing. But I don't think we will get an answer to this next week? Can't believe this show only has one ep left |

I know that and it bothered me back then, his sword maker had the right to be mad at him. Demons Slayer's weapons are supposed to be made to slash swiftly and behead demons. His fighting style may be that of tear and shred, but it didn't work before at the spider's arc, why would it work now? Its just unpractical, specially considering demon's regeneration. The fact that he had to cut a demon arm by hitting it repeatedly proves how useless they are. |

| Loved this episode, the gang is now fired up and ready to get back into the action, it makes me quite sad to know only 1 more episode left, I'm going to continue the manga for sure and pray for a second season while at it. |
