Tokito requesting a sword from Kanamori, and there's no time to waste to rid of the CGI fish monsters. And despite Kanamori's shed being closer than it is, they are stopped by the Upper Rank 5 Gyokko, with the village under attack and stopped by Mitsuri, as grand as a Hashira's power can be. Tanjiro and Nezuko are not slouching either, but against the Upper Rank 4 Hantengu's clones they stand no chance.

Gyokko finally having his time in the limelight and raising all of the souls that he killed to form an art piece of his own, he is the embodiment of despair in a pot. And Tokito isn't going to take it lying down, while analyzing its attack patterns from the always spawning vases at random. It's clear that Kanamori and Kotetsu are just dead weight to Tokito, and upon the Thousand Needle Kill which inflicts poison, it doesn't affect him much, though the water prison pot will certainly will.

The sword turning red thanks to Nezuko's blood, and therein lying an inherited memory from the last wielder, and Tanjiro embraces his fight with everyone's hopes pinned onto him. Clearly, this is the swordsman that almost slain Muzan, and Hantengu's clones, get obliterated in the same stunning fashion, while Genya defeated the main demon Hantengu himself, though turning into a demon in the midst.

More power to Tanjiro, his Hinokami Kagura is EPIC.

It was great to see Mitsuri in action with that weird sword of her. Dance of the Fire God was just way too fucking cool, such smooth animation with great SFX.
There seems to be something weird with Genya though.

That art and animation is sometimes just unfair for other tv series. How are you supposed to make things look good after that?

Another terrible episode, Ufotable saves their budget for these brief moments of Tanjirou that last 2 or 3 seconds but will go down in history as "the best animation of all time." I'm amazed at how this anime struggles to make characters speak normally, except for the Mist Hashira and that Akaza, everyone just screams.
Not even Kanroji's hotness will save it.
And it seems like pulling things out of thin air is Kimetsu no Yaiba's modus operandi, why bother building something when you can just pull it out of thin air and then use a flashback to justify it?
Abysmal, as always.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Beautiful katana from Mitsuri. She's so lucky to have a katana special made from the chief himself. She easily kill those small pest in a second.
Tanjiro already awaken his mark? That's fast... But wow, the hinokami kagura animation are masterpiece as always.
That kid tear come out from his mask eyes. Lol... And the scenes of the 'blacksmiths monster' are creepy with those kind of animation explaining time by that upper moon.

wow the power levels in this show are confusing af. one second tanjiro is getting his ass kicked by a robot the next second he's soloing an upper demon. whereas the hashira that easily beat the robot is struggling against an upper level vase demon

Idk if you were paying attention but it was clearly stated that upper moon 4 is weaker when split and the more they split the weaker they get, also wouldn’t it make sense that tanjiro would get stronger from the training with the robot

I'm trying hard to like this season but things are so underwhelming until now. The hashiras suck, the upper moons suck, the swordsmith village and the characters suck.

Even the "big moment" from this episode was so normal. The first time Tanjiro used Hinokami Kagura on first season was perfect, the moment, the OST, everything. But getting a power up from every memory again and again just got old for me at this moment, even for action shounen patterns. MAN, I MISS ZENITSU.

our boy Tanjiro did not disappoint. I have read so many complaints about how Nezuko is a useless character that I really hope the authors are now eating their words. Girl is always there to help out her brother.

I hope Genya is gonna be ok. Maybe the vegan diet Nezuko is following could help?
some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not kind to them.
some of the best human beings I know, have been through so much at the hands of others,
and they still love deeply, they still care.

sometimes, it´s the people who have been hurt the most, who refuse to be hardened in this world,
because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they themselves have felt.
if that´s not something to be in awe of, I don´t know what is.

In case anyone missed how it works, the sword's blade folds on itself before it gets sheathed.

One of the swordsmiths having a blade ready for Tokitou but gets interrupted by Gyokko, so now they have a battle going on. Mitsuri coming to help a hand in the village by demolishing those giant fish ugly eating monsters.

Nezuko giving all her strength towards Tenjiro's blade and holy shit, It has been forever since I heard Nezuko's voice. Tanjiro going through a transformation and slaying all the demons in one piece, that animation looked sick, not gonna lie. Genya turning into a demon? there's no way. A lot of action packed content this episode.

Btw these visuals are next level.

Mandem are full-on arguing over her whilst bleeding out not that I blame😂😂. I have to ask how does her sword fit in her sheath??????? Naa number 5 is pure evil even the other ones didn't torture their victims they just straight up killed them.  Maybe they did but off-screen. Damn, he took all of those needles face on I have to respect it. That was smart of Nezuko to upgrade his sword like that.  WAIT WHAT TANJIRO POPPED OFF😲😲 I'm so confused is TANJIRO A HASHIRA???????????????????????? It would make sense now if Genya were a demon because a lot of things weren't adding up

Muichiro is a nice guy he took this needles of poison to defend these two.
Gyokko seems to be very fast with these vases.
Mitsuri took out the big fish with her love.
These scenes with tanjiro his scarf are getting bigger.
And these dragon holy dances what an amazing animation.

I mean it’s high time, so can we please stop talking about Tanjiro’s good deeds.. even  behind his back? People are dying after all, from the attacks of those CGI Piranhas. 

Though now that Mitsuri’s here, we can at the very least avoid and minimize the damages to some extent, as that totally not normal sword of hers is plenty effective. But that’s for the village folks, not for the duo of Tanjiro and Nezuko, they’re still outnumbered after all, until an unforeseen event happened and Nezuko with her demon art changed the colour of sword to red.

As for the proceedings on Muichiro’s side, he may not be outnumbered like those three but that doesn’t mean he has it any easy, as he himself is up against the upper moon five Gyokko, all alone. And Gyokko being super creepy he is, it won’t be wrong to say he’s just toying with Muichiro with his aquarium tricks. Confined Muichiro within that vase of his in the end.

Dance of the fire god was fucking incredible with that red sword, the first of its kind this season, with some hints to its origin. Though.. Genya? Dude you kindly lay off from those american tricks of yours.

The middle paragraphs were just "Episode Recap 😑"

While not quite the same as intended, the combination of Nezuko's demon burning blood with Tanjiro's nichirin gave off the same sort of power as a red blade. To the point that Rank 4 was experiencing the same fear Daki felt back when Tanjiro went into an all out rage.

While it took training and work to get to that point...I doubt that taking out the Upper Moon is going to be that easy. Weakened, but likely not finished. Finally got to see Genya in action, but it seems like he's been infected :'(

Hopefully he's able to bring it under control and continue to fight like Nezuko. Don't want to see him go out so soon.

Got to see Muichirou go up against upper 5 and get into quite the predicament.
Mitsruri arrived just in time, we even got to see one of her love breathing techniques.
That technique by Tanjirou at the end was animated so well.
