THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Damn, that head is still talking even after it got cut off.

On the other hand, I think it's cool to see Nezuko fight that demon with her own powers. Susamaru got a pretty brutal death as I had expected (similar to the manga). Fucking RIP. Looks like we got some more info dump about Kibutsuji. Tamayo knows her stuff.

What an episode

Of course it wasn’t that easy killing the arrow demon without taking more damage, and damn, it looked painful.
That fucking fight between Nezuko and Susamaru was so awesome, Nezuko is a freaking beast. I really liked the transitions between the two opposites.
Emotional second half, the OST was so on point. And that Yuushiro’s scene, so sad

And lmao, Zenitsu, he’s finally here.
We’re finally past the worst part of the manga. I’m so hyped tho

My gosh, this was tough to watch

Holy shit, that was fucking brutal. I felt sorry for her there honestly to die like this.

The best part was the aftermath, that really got me emotional. I really want to see Tamayo again soon, amazing character. She got acknowledged as a human by Nezuko, deep down she probably wished for something like that to happen.

Hyuga would be proud of Nezuko. That's like a picture perfect TIGER SHOT she's executing there.

Hmm arrow demon didn't give up easy huh. Using moves to counteract the arrow's pressure though was pretty creative. Despite the ferocity of the attacks it was fun seeing Nezuko return the attacks so easily not to mention the resulting exchange as well. Tamayo sure managed to score an unexpected but nonetheless impressive victory there though. Using own's cells to kill the host sure was an interesting tactic. Despite her arrogant attitude the temari demon was just as much a victim of Muzan as the others were. Guess as a result of being a demon Tamayo never really had a family to begin with outside of her bond with Yushiro. Being treated as part of one by Nezuko sure must have been heartwarming to her. An excellent ep as always that managed to end the battle with the Temari/duo in a most unexpected manner. While it was sad to bid Tamayo and Yushiro farewell looks like next ep we get to meet quite the unique new character.

Damn, I felt bad for that demon girl to die the way she did. That was brutal as hell.

If anything, this episode made me love Nezuko way more than I already do. Loved seeing her kick those balls back but the best part was when she hugged Tamayo and patted Yushiro on the head, that was so sweet. <3

So you finally get it Yushiro, Nezuko is indeed a beauty. XD

Looking forward to next week and where we go from here.

That was a hell of an episode! It was so sad and also so gory! The part where the demon girl was asking for her temari really upset me actually because Tanjirou says about how she's like a little kid but she probably WAS a little kid before Kibutsuji turned her into a demon.

I'm sad that Yushiro & Tamayo are leaving cause i've really come to love them (especially Yushiro... moody little shit haha) but i'm so happy that Zanitsu has finally arrived!

So every demons that made by Kibutsuji can't say his name, including Nezuko?
And since Lady Tamayo can say his name it means she was transformed to demon not by Kibutsuji, so demon existed before Kibutsuji and there are someone other than him can turn people into demon

Even in death, that arrow demon still shows to be a nuisance. It's remarkable that Tanjiro is able to move at all after going through that ordeal. Nezuko getting gradually more and more powerful and learning how to kick the balls back was really entertaining to watch. I sort of wish we could have gotten to see them go all out though. The ball demon's death was pretty sad. Maybe she really was just a child when she was turned into a demon. I don't really understand the curse though. Does a demon die if they say Kitsuji's name? Is that how it works? Why didn't Tamayo die then? After all of that, they weren't even that powerful relatively speaking? Nezuko treating them like family was really cute. Glad he didn't get rid of the imouto. Good. I would have dropped the show if Nezuko went AFK. We also finally see one of his "team members."

I love how this show goes from the gory and horrific to the tender and cute with such casualness.

Tamayo is a sweet demon lady, but she packs a mighty punch with that magic of hers. That spell of hers was something else.

And yes, Nezuko is a beauty but her sweetness trumps it all.

The demons are free to create alliances with each other as long as they still listen to Muzan and serve him. It is useless if demons fight each other anyway because they can't kill each other, only the sun, the Nichirin blade and Muzan himself can kill demons. In fact, the demons can do whatever they want as long as they obey Muzan.

The demons die when they say Muzan name. In the last episode, Tamayo said she tweaked her body and remove Muzan's curse. Currently, Tamayo and Yushiro are the only demons that are not under Muzan's control.

Wait a second. Can someone explain me one thing? Tanjiro came to this town because he was sent there as a demon slayer by the crow. Since he’s now getting a new assignment, he must have completed the last one. Then who was the demon he was supposed to kill? Kibutsuji? Or the temari and arrow demons? I kinda missed this moment lol.

Those two weren't even part of the 12, yet they were still pretty strong already. Somehow typical:S

And Kibusuji is truly a devil, but not that I would've expected anything less. His cruelty towards his henchmen along with the display of their innocent side gave me chills. Love it how this series puts emphasis on portraying even enemies in a positive light.

Also dig the bond between Nezuko and Tamayo

This was great. The previous episode was a bit weak, but this one really improved on the action. It was genuinely horrifying when arms shot out of the demon and crushed her skull, and you had to feel a little bad for it.

The scene in which Nezuko mistakes the two friendly demons for humans almost made me cry. Imagine living your life for at least two-hundred years thinking you've lost your humanity and believing you're less than a human being, and then this kid proves that you still have what makes you "human."

The mission is to hunt down the demon spotted in the town there wasn't a particular case, considering Muzan used two normal demons to hunt them instead of one of the real twelve demon moons, it's probably one of the two demons, if not both. Tamayo could also be the demon, considering she said some kids or elderly figured out she was demon and the news were spreading.

Even though I didn't like the fight in the previous episode I still didn't expect to dislike this episode so much as well. I literally disliked every bit of it. The only exception was the hug and that's it.

I hope the next story will be better but judging by the glimpse of new characters they gave us I'm already annoyed.

Really, this anime was quite interesting so far with a bit slow introduction, I waited for it to become more intense and fleshed out with general story but the last 2 episodes made me seriously consider just dropping it.

It will depend on how ufotable adapts them of course, but if they can keep up this kind of quality then the anime will only get better from here. And yeah, the consensus is that what they have adapted so far is the weakest part of the manga.

Felt bad for that demon girl when Tamayo cast that curse on her, it was a bit a emotional even though she's killed many before, especially when she asked for Mari.

Tanjiro really loves Nezuko, I mean who wouldn't! I wouldn't leave my only family to anyone either.

That pathetic idiot who begged a girl to marry her because he was gonna die was my highlight! New partnership ahead I hope.

1. Just 2 episodes ago they were giving Tanjiro a new quest of collecting blood, yet at the end of this episode Tamayo is skipping town and Tanjiro says farewell without getting any way to contact them (RIP blood collecting)

2. How did encountering Kibutsuji Muzan not cause a bigger stir with the Demon Slayer corps (unless he omitted that part or they skipped the reporting all together)

Finally the battle against the assassins that Kibutsuji sent has ended and Tanjirou with Nezuko survived.

Yahaba despite having been beheaded, never gave up and gave Tanjirou a good shake, but he saved himself thanks to his water breathe techniques, even so Yahaba fought until he finally disintegrated and Tanjirou was free.
Nezuko managed to obtain the strength to return Susamaru's temari balls, that epic fight of which one of them kicked the ball harder was incredible.
Leaving aside the action again Nezuko highlighted her lovely nature, I loved how she gave a head pat to Yushiro in the middle of the battle.
Tamayo and her demonic technique of illusion was very useful, it was the death sentence of Susamaru, who finally dies at the hands of her master's curse, which if I am sincere was quite cruel and grotesque, that way in which those monsters arms came out of the interior of Susamaru and they finally broke her was brutal and finally it was Tanjirou who witnessed in the first seat how cruel and despicable Kibutsuji Muzan can be.
It's a pity that Yahaba and Susamaru were not from the group of the twelve demons moons, but what surprised me is that Tamayo said these two demons were not strong, what kind of brutal strength will have the true members of this group?

The scene in which Nezuko hugged Tamayo was very touching, especially because of what Tanjirou said, that Nezuko considers Tamayo and Yushiro as humans and because of the suggestion to which she was subjected, she considers them both as her family, but to see Tamayo cry for happiness ... damn right in the feelings and the best part was to hear Yushiro admit that Nezuko is cute, also she is too adorable when she gives a head pat again to Yushiro.
Tamayo offered Tanjirou to take care of Nezuko while he travels, but I love to see that Nezuko does not want to separate from her brother, these siblings will remain united to defeat stronger demons until they kill Kibutsuji and restore the humanity to Nezuko
Tanjirou and Nezuko continue on their way, now knowing that they have two new allies in this dangerous world.

The music during the battle of Nezuko against Susamaru I liked, especially in how it accompanied to the perfection as the strength of the kicks and the speed of the ball were growing.
At last we will meet the blond boy who passed the selecion, but seeing his pathetic and humiliating scene with the girl to whom he begged marriage, I assume he will make me laugh a lot, also the name of the next episode has me intrigued.

Did Nezuko really imitate Hyuga's famous Tiger Shot? Man, he would be so proud.

Nice episode overall although I found the second half more enjoyable with Nezuko hugging Tamayo-sama and all the emotional atmosphere that was settled around them.

Also, the blond demon slayer makes his second appearance and it seems he will join Tanjirou in the next episode. I just hope he doesn't be too annoying as the OP shows him.

When the arrows were sticking through Tanjirou's body, I thought he was gonna split him into multiple pieces by simultaneously pulling him on all different directions. I was like "wowww how's he gonna survive that??", but was then followed by a big disappointed "oh..." when the arrow is just throwing him around the places instead. Felt kinda lame since the demon could have been really OP. And I'm still not convinced at how he was able to misdirect the arrows to take down his head too xD.
