| And another amazing episode, I loved it Rui's backstory was actually sad, and when he reunited with his parents in the end, I starting tearing up I love this anime more and more with each episode! Also, Nezuko running away was the cutest thing I've ever seen I'm curious what the next episode will be about There will be some kind of trial I see Is it going to be about Tanjirou protecting a demon(Nezuko)? Or it's rather like they want to ask Tanjirou some questions, like why Nezuko is not attacking humans at all? Or maybe! Maybe one of the crows saw Tanjirou using fire, and the pillars saw it through the crow, and they want to ask him about that? Or maybe all of these? Damn I really want to see the next episode! |

| At least Rui remembered who he was. |
 |
| Why is this anime so unbearably slow? Literally almost nothing happened on this episode. There's no need to expand on the demons backstory that much, it drags the story way too much, Spidermom's backstory was shorter and it was easier to sympathize with her. It was too late for the others to even get redeemed. It does not help either that Shinobu keeps triggering Giyuu while not letting Tanjiro or Giyuu explain themselves. All that time wasted served nothing because in the end they'd be taking Tanjiro and Nezuko to the pillars anyway. Edit: Since the average MAL user has terrible reading comprehension I'll say this before people keep misunderstanding and making wrong assumptions: I'M NOT AGAINST HAVING BACKSTORIES! Thank you. |

The true answer might surprise you A LOT XD Don't tell me if I'm right or wrong but I feel like its the obvious flame/fire user one because of that wild ass hair lol, if not then its the most not obvious one which is the short one with navy blue? hair color, looks meek, cant even tell if its a he or a she. 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... |
Gorochu said: So there are total 7 Hashira. Is Hashira the highest rank in Demon Slayer Corp or there's more ranked higher than them? There are actually 9 pillars or hashira and yes, based on the ranking, they are the highest. The only one higher than them is the head of the Demon Slayer Corp. Edited to add that by 9 pillars, I meant based on anime-pace so yeah. |

Small Running Nezuko is cute |
 |
| Another great episode. I really enjoy that Demons aren't painted as being evil for no reason, and that the morality of slaying them lies somewhere in the grey. Rui's backstory was good to see after so many episodes focused on him and his "family". Once again, Demon Slayer leaves me wanting the next episode immediately. |
| Rengoku is finally here the ultimate bro of this manga |
| Chibi Nezuko is the cutest thing ever. Love how this show has that nostalgic and sad feeling after a "victory", there is no winning on that show, everyone has lost so much. |
| Good Episode I would give it an average of 3.5/5 Just how Cute Nezuko is <3  |
| Why literally every villain that goes through a redamption, must do it when he's dying? |

| Meh, too late for me to really care about Rui. The flashback was ok Mini Nezuko was one of the cutest things I've ever seen in this anime industry KAWAIIIIIIIII 😍😍  |

| I don't know if I was the only weak person that cried like a baby with the sad story about Rui, but I did it. By the way, it was strange the situation it saved Tanjiro and Nezuko of they being called by the slayers demons society's, now I'am wondering why it's supposed that Giyuu is the mostly hated between the pillars but I really wanna believe that is because of he is too strong or something like that. |
-¡Give yourself to me! |
| Yo, Nezuko is the cutest thing in the world. |
 |
| Rui backstory was sad, Nezuko being cute, also I was wondering when that girl was gonna show up. |
| So sad! He just wanted some incest man. Low-key some of these Demons are so lacking in depth they just come of as school shooters I'm supposed to give a fuck about. No, even worse, some dude who couldn't write and another who was bad at playing drums or something? They're all terrible edgelords anyway whatever! What's the point of trying to humanize them in this cheap way before their death every time LOL. Oh ye to show how kind Tanjirou is.. he smells their emotions. It's so dumb when there are actual demons who voluntarily help humans. It's impossible to sympathize with these comical mass murderers, just look at the way low-tier demon slayers get killed it's honestly hilarious. Hmm so I was kinda right? They ARE a cleanup crew and foodservice.. what have they been busy with all this time hundreds of humans went missing. Even their own Corps members! And this Giyu guy rekt the Leader easily. I'm mindblown. What were they busy with? Sure as hell not protecting some legendary family line. Just look at how big their organization is.. |
| poop |
| Tanjiro didnt notice who knock him out lol |
omg Nezuko stay like this forever 😍 |
 |
| It was a nice and calm episode. The end was still a cliffhanger though. Ufotable kills it each time. If this anime doesn't get any awards with this top-notch animation I'm gonna flip some tables. The manga (art-wise) is nothing special but the animation, man, it's just SO FRIGGIN GOOD. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| The stories about the Demon's past as a human really make me feel sad, same goes when I saw Rui's backstory. I can't blame Shinobu for wanting to kill Nezuko, as she doesn't know the situation. But I am glad Giyuu was there to hold her off. Only for Shinobu to send Kanao to try to kill Nezuko. (She's also pretty cute if you ask me) OMG, Nezuko shrinking to avoid that sword and then running on, was by far the cutest thing this episode. So the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters... we saw pretty much all the pillars in that final shot, looking forward seeing more of them (and if Giyuu is going to get punished or not). |
 |
| Okay that ep was sad, funny and cute at the same time with the myriad of stuff that went on. However....the only thing that is getting to me is this: Tanjiro has managed to be a member of the DSC for this long without ANYONE in HQ knowing about his sister? Are you fucking kidding me right now? I mean...his damn bird obviously reports on his behalf back and forth to HQ and you mean to tell me that no one knew about Nezuko outside of his teacher and Tomioka? That's...that's kind of a hard sell here. But we shall see how this "Trials" arc goes. |

I think it's only seen Tanjirou with that box on his back It makes me want to go back and double check; plus if the cleanup crew is always near by to tidy things up after every DSC mission...it almost begs the question of just HOW things are carried out behind the scenes. I'm hoping this stuff gets answered soon. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| 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.

It's not even redemption, it's just a regaining of humanity and admission of fault. Death and a revelation of human memories understandably would vastly change a dying person.

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. |
