DedPanda said:
So....that went down. Nezuko is the kawaii protecc girl as always. Skipping through all that stuff that went down...I just have one question: Are we going to conveniently forget that Tanjiro saw Muzan with an actual family? Because...ya know...instead of belittling and beating on the kid, the moment that shit was made known...this little trial should have been sidelined so he can give them information.

AddaeAkono said:
These episodes seem to go by very quickly and I knew Nezuko was not going to take the bait with the wind pillar's blood thanks to the spell that was placed on her. The master said that this is the finest group of Demon Slayers since the feudal era so I wonder how old he is.

cchigu said:
Sunlight must have poured through the three or so holes made in Nezuko's container by that one Hashira and she should have died.

0/5

But for real though, these episodes after that 3 min orgasm have been pretty bad. Shitty obnoxious Hashiras man, already hating all of them especially that poison lady. Also, hope that the fkin yellow haired all-the-time-yelling kid and the boar headed kid, both die.

3/5

I also feel like that the "master" is actually Michael Jackson.

The hashira's remind me of of the captain's in Bleach, a banch of assholes in clothes. Tomioka and the snake guy are the only ones who didn't get on my nerves. The pink one is particularly annoying. I wonder if any of the main characters is going to join their ranks at some point seeing how strong they are with barely any battle experience.

I didn't like the comedy. Making fun of the protagonist for acting like a protagonist. That scarred guy stabs an innocent person three times and then they immediately go to Nezuko making cute faces to make you forget about it, t hen Tanjiro returns and it seems like there is some hope that the bastard is going to be punished but instead they put in more comedy.

I hope Zenitsu gets better. So far he's like a worse Usopp from One Piece. He overreacts to everything and then during the fights it's almost like he has another personality. I would much prefer if they toned him down and started showing that he wants to get through how much of a bitch he is.

AslanGolzine said:

pretty much, but there has to be a reason why everybody hates him..

Koshi_Inaba said:


Yeah, behead the most powerful members of the organization and the only to hope to defeat the Upper Moons. Smart move. The comments are becoming dumber than ever.

ChiMur said:

but my next fondest hope is to see Hashira scum die in horrible ways. Preferably screaming.

EvilSociopath323 said:
This falls under the category of minor spoilers but I think someone should mention this here. The fact that Nezuko resisted Shinazugawa is all the more impressive

luccide said:

Non-manga reader here. This feels like a major thing to be left out imo.

Tista said:
It's not the matter of should or shouldn't, it's just in the very next arc there are multiple depressed moments and reading it and watching it afterwards would make you feel sad twice. If you are impatient, then read it.

At least in Bleach they were acting under orders. False orders, but they didn't know that their super secret room had been infiltrated yet. These guys didn't even wait for their leader to start acting on their own.

I do wish there had been a little bit more of a scolding for Mr Stabby, stab. But in their minds Tanjiro was in the wrong for mouthing off against a Hashira. Cuz of course he should sit and do nothing while they mistreat his sister.......... He should just blindly obey a chain of command that he basically only found out about now. I don't know if allowing Tanjiro to get a few headbutts in would be an adequate punishment but something should be done. If only because right now Tanjiro and Nezuko are key in luring the main antagonist. Like imagine the chaos if the leader were any later to the meeting. If they had killed Nezuko and Tanjiro only to find out the siblings importance. It's no wonder their organization isn't producing good results. The guys at the top are super hands off.

WiselyKamelot said:



So Tanjiro should not blindly obey the master but the pillars should?
Ok lol

mecegirl said:


I'm gonna type a lot but this isn't that complicated.

In Tanjiro's case it has a bit less to do with the Master than with the Hashiras. So who he shouldn't blindly follow is the Hashiras. And really it's less to do with should than with human nature. So like let's rewind shit and go step by step.

Tanjiro wakes up to find himself in a new location where he is tied up. He's told that he's being put on trial and will be given a chance to explain why he's palling around with a demon. After a little back and forth he sees that one Hashira(water) is on his side. One(insect) is at least trying to give him the space and time to explain himself. A handful(fire, snake, buddhist looking dude, and flamboyant guy) are talking bout killing him. The rest are just silent. And oh...here comes some scarred up asshole(wind) from left field who not only is talking about killing him but is stabbing his sister.

Also talk of some "Master" who is late to the meeting.

Now Tanjiro is a pretty chill and forgiving guy. About the only one he has a problem with is the Wind Hashira for obvious reasons. All and all he behaved a lot better than the average human. His was sitting pretty quietly until the Wind Hashira got all stabby. Probably would have kept trying to explain his and his sister's situation until the stabbing started. Overall he was pretty obedient except for going after the Wind Hashira. And that is super understandable. He doesn't really know these people and this organization is super scattered so it's no surprise that he doesn't know these people. He has very little reason to obey people who put his sister at risk like that. And I do say they owe him the satisfaction of a headbutt or two..three...whatever. Cuz these guys are not that organized, they are not super regimented. Judging by the way the Hashira's behave anythings fine so long as you are strong enough. Also, acting out based on your emotions is fine too...Like no discipline at all. You wanna stab somebody? Sure fine, if you got the strength you can do whatever the fuck you want or whatever. You want to headbutt someone? Sure fine, why not?? It's all fun and games. The other Hashiras are laughing so it must be okay to solve problems through violence.


The Master is said to have a soothing voice by Tanjiro...really he just seems to be one of the few with some damn patience and self control. The Hashira's know their Master. They trust and,judging by how they all snapped to bowing, highly respect their Master. So why the hell could they not wait til their Master showed up to pass judgement on Tanjiro? Wind dude's manner of speaking changed once the Master appeared. He stopped acting like a thug immediately. You'd think that level of respect would extend to believing in the Master enough to wait long enough to hear his opinions on the matter before jumping the gun...er sword? Like, forget order and obedience for a second. Just pure human nature and relationships. In the end their Master took the time to hear all of the Hashira's that have options out. He gave thoughtful responses to their worries. Even let the Wind guy perform his test. Explained to Tanjiro that such tests may happen in the future because of course folks are gonna be freaked out over a demon. With a master like that you'd think the Hashira's would be more chill? Like they would try to emulate the Master they claim to have such faith in and just wait a moment...cuz really that was all that was being asked of them, to wait until the full story was told.

That is the "blind obedience" expected of them. To give Tanjiro and Nezuko a fair trial. Not to agree with everything. Just to hear them out before rushing to execution. The "blind obedience" expected of Tanjiro? To just drop the fact that he and his sister were not given a fair trial. Or at very least just drop the fact that the arrest leading up to their "trial" was unfair, abusive, negligent, like...police brutality level shit except with demons because he's getting the shit kicked out of him and his sister is getting tortured but he's being expected to let it all go and not fight back.

Like you said, let's go back to the beginning. None of them actually did anything to Tanjirou and his sister before the master show up, minus the wind guy. They all just discuss what to do with Tanjirou base on the code of conduct and their own opinion, cause you know, this is one of the reason they was summoned, to discuss this and give their own opinion. Yes, most of those opinion was negative, but they still hadn't done anything to the unconscious Tanjirou. You can't blame someone for giving their own opinion on the subject that they was asked about with their base on their knowledge. Also the demon hunter isn't a government organization, and to them Nezuko isn't a human or criminal to be treated fairly, in their eyes she a man eating monster that can snap at any moment and kill countless innocent while her brother is a demon hunter yet don't see her as a thread, putting the life of innocent in danger by keeping her alive. We the viewers can see that they wrong cause we have following them, but they don't have that knowledge. The only interaction they have with the demons is kill or be killed.

Also about the wind guy, i not that he don't respect his master, it because he have too much respect for his master. Someone he clearly look up to and revere, that why he can't accept his master decision, a decision that in his eye go again anything they stand for, the destruction of demonkind. And the master know it gonna be hard to convince them, that why he don't tell them about Tamayo.
