| This episode was awesome and finally Nezuko shown her true powers and both her and Tanjirou were awesome. I can't wait for the next episode. |

Nezuko's blood fire is quite an asspull though. They basically got 2 OP power-ups at the same moment. |

It still did look nice though. |
DeathTheKid4 said: HectorBlaze said: Honestly after I read the comments I think that this episode would be amazing but after I’vee seen it I don’t think so. Beautiful graphically but nothing else for me. Exactly, basically like the whole show was so far. Pretty colors, great animation, but nothing storywise.. Totally agree. I would add that this show gives me a sensation of “already seen” and this is evident more and more for me, honestly I don’t like this. |
 |
| this is it bois 10/10 insert song and smooth af credit transition. Don't have a comment on animation tho but that Nezuko ass-pull came outta nowhere |

Kamiyan3991 said: in the manga isn't full explained yet why nezuko is like this,but there are some theories, she gains power when she sleeps,she didn't use it before because she didn't need it,i don't see the problem,tanjirou was in danger and nezuko saved him,it could be convenient for you but is not an asspull by any means,and there was no better time to introduce her new technique,the presentation and execution are very good.nanashi796 said: why an asspull when all the others demons have it,and nezuko is not normal demon.

| Applauding in real life cause that was fantastic. Nice to hear Nezuko actually speak too, even if it's just internal monologue. |
| Easily the best fight scene all year. Top-tier animation but the choreography was amazing as well. Shame the bitrate was half as high as it should've been. The powerups did seem a bit random but I assume they'll explain that more later, it was awesome none-the-less. Also was great actually hearing Nezuko SAY something again, even if it was in her head. Lastly, that ending song from Shiina Go and Nakagawa Nami was beautiful and perfectly timed |
 |
| All hail UFOtable! Only they are able to pull off such a marvelous episode. It was perfect in every possible way, absolutely over-the-top animation and breathtaking direction with glorious background music. 6/5 episode 100/10 studio dedication |
 |
| Haven't felt adrenaline in a while from anime. 10/10 episode |
Ten said: Well, it looks cool and all but the fighting techniques still make no sense, feels just like power of friendship pulled out of nowhere at the last second and I don't see how making it about sibling bond is any better. I guess, it's touching and impressive visually but overall nothing special. yeah power of friendship BS welp. what can u expect |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
| The scenes at the end gave me literal chills AH Ufotable pls take a bow that was easily the best episode so far So breathtaking!! |
 |
| Holy fuck, I don't even come here anymore, but that ep is what it takes to make me comeback to write "holy fuck", holy. |
| This episode deserved a solid 5+/5, like 6/5 at least for the second half ! I loved it so far, always appreciated the water effect when Tanjiro used to cast his attacks but this fire form was even more beautiful. Amazing moment when brother & sister united their "parents" teachings, answering their sort of dreaming call to arms. |

Himawari9 said: Ventus_S said: Manga recently has got alot better, but early part you have to bare with crappy artwork and combat. It doesn't even come remotely close to UFO's production value and detail/ storyboard/ paneling/ artwork. I still like the manga with better pacing. The scenes in the manga are more emotional. The thing is those type of plot literally is in my "been there done that" territory from a manga veteran like me. (I read shonen since I was 9 and now I am 25+) Most shonen that's aiming toward teenagers got really boring to me (especially something like Hero Academia/ One Piece), so I need something more to spice things up (something like creativity, mature plot, interesting premises) A good production of anime with mind blowing animation and gorgeous OST on top of great atmosphere / VA's is just the perfect recipe to make an old formula feel fresh and enjoyable again. PS: Tbh I think before ep 12 or something the emotional part of anime is done way better than manga, like that kid who his sister got eaten, and that time when Natsuko consider the doctor duo human, anime is done way more emotionally captivated than the manga with the perfect OST and the perfect pause and perfect voice acting to build out the emotion. Thus why I continue watching this serie, and boy my decision was so right after seeing this episode. UFO is anime industry's savior. |

| I am so happy Ufotable got this series. The story, characters, animation, OST.... just everything I love it. Haven’t been this excited for an anime for a long time. I can’t believe it’s gonna end soon, my Saturday are gonna be so empty now. Even with all the Shounen‘s we have this season, this is by far my favourite. I hope Ufotable dose continue with this series. Tanjiro is my new best boy <3 |

People hype their animation but their directing is rather bad. Actually, they didn't release anything good in years. UBW was average. Zestiria and God Eater were disasters. |

For Zestiria, the game's plot itself is a disaster, so even with god like animation won't save the disastrous plot, but at least it makes it watchable. |
OhMyGOOOODD said: Anyone know the ed song?the new one Kamado Tanjirou no uta. Here`s the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIXFFC1vI20 |
| the last sequence was one of the most beautiful things ever WOW ufotable , These long ass monologues tho . . Fucking hell WE GET IT . |
| The animation was amazing. However, it looks like this anime does not escape the usual BS plaguing shounens. The protagonists got power-up out of nowhere, all of a sudden, at a very convenient time, with a short convenient flashback as a justification for one. The other one got a Demon art which conveniently counters the one used by the enemy, She passed out, but also woke up at a very convenient time. And just like that one of the 12 Kizuki got eliminated, with no drawback/loss/sacrifice. One of the most beautiful animation with among the worst scenario ever. |
| Goddamn, It should be illegal to make a show look this good, I really hope we get more of this show, time to buy Manga. It was the complete package, a villain that makes you hate their guts, a heart warming moment, the music, etc. completely breathtaking, hell we even got to see Nezuko's demon technique. 10/10 |
| My god that was beautiful. :O Forever grateful for the staff behind this episode and Ufotable. |

Zryn said: This episode was a masterpiece, best episode in the series by far. I was expecting Giyuu to come rescue Tanjirou in classic anime fashion where it looks like all hope is lost before the badass shows up. But instead they pull out the card that they implanted in the beginning of the episode where "your life flashes before your eyes to recall memories to save yourself." The breath change was totally not what i was expecting at all and was animated beautifully. Total masterpiece of an episode. DAYUM. Just realized you're right. The episode starts with Shinobu talking about memories surfacing when you're about to die and end up with Tanjiro remembering his deceased father. The parallels and the symbolics are incredibly well-treated in this episode. To people saying these fire powers come from nowhere, well, you haven't been paying attention. There have been clues left since the beginning, it was foreshadowed. I mean: a) Muzan saw the earings and wants Tanjiro dead just for that and I bet he probably didn't target the Kamado household on a whim; b) The blacksmith reacted to the color of his hair and eyes, saying it has fire in them; c) Also, I think the color of his katana is a huge hint too. Black is no ordinary color for a sword; d) Huge shortcut from me, may be just a theory, but this may explain why Tanjiro struggled to learn Water breathing style if he's naturally inclined to fire. This is not an asspull. This is proper foreshadowing. You're just pissed because you didn't expect the power-up/reveal to happen like that. I don't think KnY is unique. The story is pretty average in my mind. The show deserves a 6 or maybe a 7 for storytelling and characters only. But the execution is nearly perfect. Stories are all the same, what changes is the way you tell them. Anyway, came here to say I may have cried waterless tears at the end...or silent shouting, call it how you want. It was amazing. Besides, I'm very happy Zenitsu was saved in time by Shinobu. |

Rjstizzer said: the demon slayer that almost kill muzan is not his father,it was centuries in the past,and tanjiro's father isn't a demon slayer.CarlosPina said: This episode wasnt even that special. Even though Tanjiro had his little fire techique foreshadowed when his sword was delievered I just cant grasp the idea that his power evolved that much, enough to defeat a lower Kizuki when he's in the lowest demon slayer rank. Seems like everything people need is a beautifull action scene with a good OST. Tanjiro is not a normal demon slayer though. His father was apparently special enough that muzan wanted tanjiro dead for wearing the same exact earings. His father had some secret "technique" that must have made him the best demon slayer when he was alive. This technique was revealed in this episode. my guess is that this new breathing technique is hereditary since tanjiro has the same mark as his father on his head. Even Nezuko is unique. every demon they meet says that she has a weird aura that is different from other demons. |

| Best of the episode of the series so far for sure and to me cements that this show was at its best with Tanjiro and Nezuko together, before Inosuke and Zenitsu showed up. The music in the final scene and the emotion of it all was just incredible and I'm glad I stuck with the series for this as I was faltering some with this latter half of the show. |
