Speaking of Kanao, that was a sad backstory, but it was too quick to end though. The writers should have capitalized on that story, after all I'm not in any rush since the story is far from being over. Mr Haganezuka and Kanamori really made my week, :-D :-D :-D :-D Are you assuming Kanao won't get her own story arc in the future? ;) I was just commenting on the length of this episode's backstory, that it was short and all. But in the future I would like her story arc to be televized! |

| Aww, gotta love those little butterfly girls, they are so cute >.< Fantastic episode once again. It was nice to receive more insight into Kanao's character and more characterization for Shinobu was quite welcome as well. She really knows how to motivate both Inosuke and Zenitsu, by the way. Man, so sad there is just one more episode left. This bunch of characters really grew on me so I really hope Ufo announces a second season at some point. |
| I'm not happy that this show is almost over lol but I know at least that season 2 will probably be announced pretty soon after season 1 ends |

| Good stuff. There's only been like 2 or 3 episodes in the entire series that disappointed me. Everything else has been entertaining and felt right so far. But especially now I feel like we're getting into the real meat of things... just as S1 is about to be over. Hopefully S2 will happen. |
| Next week, last episode : that already pains me to know that such a good show will eventually end. But I have no doubt we'll see more of Tanjiro and his comrades in the next years ! |
 |
| I'm really irritated that this is ending. Next time they'll make Inosuke serrated edged katanas. |
HereticHunter said: Ax_El_Erate said: It really kills my heart seeing Shinobu. And it makes me sad when I remember somethin' beyond. It's not about the sword, it is about the wielder on how strong they are, like what Urokodaki said on Episode 2. They are weak on Natagumo Arc, they still lack power that is why it brokes. Even if it is a knife, if the wielder is strong enough -- it will cut anything. That's all, have a nice day. Everything said by Urokodaki goes to shit when you consider that Shinobu broke this rule as she uses poison because her sword can't behead. Writer drive itself into a corner here. It more like cause he don't know about Shinobu. New Breath Styles got invented each new generation of slayer to fit more to the person using it. Urokodaki is retired so he couple generation before Shinobu. Many of the current pillars use styles that are off-shoot of older styles( Sound is lightning off-shoot, Mist is Wind off-shoot, Love is Flame off-shoot, Snake and Flower is Water off-shoot while Insect is Flower off-shoot.) |
| Shinobu having tantrums back them is a sign she matured due to something... something that will be revealed soon |
| I think I'm going to be a big fan of Kanao's characterisation. She seems very interesting. I'm really curious to hear the difference between fire breathing and flame breathing, though. Seems I'll have to read the manga for that one |

| Season2 confirmed yet? And I'm really liking Shinobu. Her and Giyuu are the only ones from the 12 I don't hate |
| this episode was cute and cool at the same time |
 |
| Once again, great episode. Kanao has always been an interesting character given how calm she is. Too bad that next episode will be the last.

   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| i was looking forward for a new zenitsu breaking down! yessu i love that makes my day but today hasn't :p even though was pretty funny anyways with my three dumies, kanao's past can't stand it she's so cutie :c just one episode less and it seems we'll have action gift for a ending season i love this series i don't want coming the end. |
KorhalChild said: Lol seeing Shinobu taunting Inosuke was so funny. I really liked her as a character and even more now that we got to see how she was when her sister was still alive. Too bad we have to wait another season to see more of her Yep,do you know what is funny? Their voice actors. Inosuke's voice actor voiced Kirito and Shinobu's voice actress Sachi in Sword Art Online. (Actually,no,it's pretty sad *trying not to cry while remembering what happened to Sachi*) |
| There is no bad waifu,only bad anime. |
| Hearing Ai Kayano's "Ara Ara" gives me too much zen. Now we are at the end...gonna nosedive into binge reading the manga because not waiting for an S2 announcement |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| This Episode pace seems to be slower... |
| The three little girls cheering for Tanjiro are hilarious. Shinobu is an expert on motivating people. The beginning of Tanjiro x Kanoa ship was unexpected but since this is a shounen nothing will probably happen until the end of the series. Inosuke damaging his new swords was amazing. He seemed so proud of himself too! It's sad that there's only one more episode after this |
 |
| More rehabilitation training, at least for Tanjirou to surpass Kanao, plus the 3 lady servants were the most hilarious and optimistic for his improvement. Seeing that Tanjirou is making a deep effort, both Zenitsu and Inosuke can't afford to be left behind. Plus, Shinobu sure is a cheerleader...in the most cunning sense. For a moment, through Shinobu's backstory last episode, brings a lot of eerie feelings, that the current day Shinobu ISN'T the Shinobu we know when she was young, and had to live off expectations of her deceased sister. That situation is the same for Kanao, being an abandoned orphan who literally switched off from the world. The saving moment of young Shinobu to Kanao doesn't tell much, but due to their broken individual lives, both Shinobu and Kanao feels distant. All I know is, it's gonna be a hell long time for both to recover from each of their traumas. In addition, with the arrival of Haganezuka, and with Tanjirou having a literate comedic moment where he feuds with his teacher having broken his lovely sword. Oh, the joys. Add in Inosuke who loves his sword in rivets, +1 for more comedy that had me laughing in spots. The thing is...there's a demon on the loose. With the final episode to go, I'm really praying for a Season 2 announced for continuation purposes. |

| More running around chasing each other and screaming ,,I'm sorry but i don't find that funny its just loud and irritating.But Jar Jar Binks didn't whine or cry witch was a huge plus Another tragic dramatic backstory!!!!Poor thing,, but its getting a bit much when every character have a traumatic sad past, Anime you are overdoing it!!! The first 15 episodes was great then you have just fallen apart!!! Action are your strongest card. Humour and drama is not, but obviously you dont care anymore!!! Sad to see, you have now 3/10 Im not impressed ,,,Better yourself and finish strong!!! |

| Was a decent and fun episode too just like episode 24. Tanjiro finally completes his training while Inosuke and Zenitsu will likely finish theirs too. Kanao and Tanjiro ship is starting to get in shape too. It's also funny when Shinobu managed to tame both Inosuke and Zenitsu. Haha. Ai Kayanon's "ara ara" is back too. One thing I noticed is that Shinobu's gotte softer now compared to what she was in the past (she looks fiercer there, maybe because of the death of her sister that she's gotten softer). |
 I am not a friend of justice. I am an enemy of evil. STAPLE STABLE |
| One episode left. Kanao's past was a great information why she acts like that, and Tanjiro, Inozuke and Zenitsu have been working hard to make themselves stronger. The demon at the train looks strong, and it looks like the Flame Hashira will fight it. |
 |
| I like that little mini training arc! It was funny and awesome to see more of Kochou's group. I absolutely melted about Tanjirou's fan group... they're so sweet, even when they're beating the crap out of him haha I'm happy to see that Zenitsu has been inspired by Tanjirou's determination and hard working nature and now wants to try his hardest too. Also, is it me or did Inosuke get really adorable? Like when he was clinging to Tanjirou's robes when the sword forgers were angry? haha |

xZabuzax said: HereticHunter said: I know that and it bothered me back then, his sword maker had the right to be mad at him. Demons Slayer's weapons are supposed to be made to slash swiftly and behead demons. His fighting style may be that of tear and shred, but it didn't work before at the spider's arc, why would it work now? Its just unpractical, specially considering demon's regeneration. The fact that he had to cut a demon arm by hitting it repeatedly proves how useless they are. To be fair, the main character couldn't cut that demon either with his sword. The sword is not the issue here, it's the wielder. You can give a Hashira that serrated sword and they would be able to cut that same demon like butter easily because they are stronger and more skilled than them. Tanjiro was excused because he wasn't skilled enough. And no, no matter how strong you are, serrated blades doesn't work that way, you'll still have the risk of getting your sword stuck in anything and be vulnerable. It's the same dilemma with big ass swords, it's not about the strength, it's about the weight . But that's another story.

It's not what Urokodaki said, is what the writer does wrong. Mod edit: fixed double posting |

It's not what Urokodaki said, is what the writer does wrong. The rule that only decapitation and sunlight can kill the demon is base on old knowledge pass down for generation. Shinobu style is recently so we can guess that this stuff only being discover recently thank to access to western science ( this is 20th Century Japan after all, right after the Meiji era). Also in the future there gonna be demons that develop gimmick to survive their head being cut off. |

Himawari9 said: HereticHunter said: Well, we already had the Rui bullshit so I won't be surprised if demons actually develop a gimmick to survive their head being cut off What about Rui is bullshit? It was stated that a demon can't be kill without being beheaded with a Nichirin blade. Decapitation with other weapons can't kill them like Rui cut off the Spider Sister's head. Rui knew that so he cut off his own head with his thread first before Tanjiro managed to do so. It is smart and showed that the demons are cunning and intelligent, they actually think about way to keep their own head from being cut like reinforcing the neck like an armor or make it soft and flexible so the hunters can't cut it in a single swing. It was a smart move yes, but after all that emotional display it ends up being off putting and thus, a very underwhelming end, but that's another story Himawari9 said: Yuri-Crusader said: Nooooo anime!!!!!!

Save that for your Yuri anime without plot. I don't understand why you bother to watch this show to the end and rate it 3/10, 80% of the cast are males. Well, haters are gonna hate because this anime is popular. Don't even try to argue with this guy, his Yuri obsession clouds his judgement and will start sending you private messages about how "you are unable to accept that people dislikes your favorite show" I mean, look at his profile, he spouts nonsense. |

| Like I said from last week's episode, the trio of the cute loli girls were really sweet in helping Tanjiro with his total breathing concentration training, even if it meant that they would beat the crap out of him if his sleeping wasn't peaceful and quite. ^_^ I was happy that we got to see some backstory to Kanao and it must've been hell for her. She was psuhed to the point where she doesn't feel pain anymore and became more of a emotionless doll, but thankfully, Shinobu and her older sister (Ara Ara) rescued her from her slave master. I must say that seeing Shinobu has more of a hotheaded-type back then was pretty amusing, but she's now become more like her sister was and the other girl under Shinobu's wing acts like hoe she used to. Aside from Kanao's backstory, this episode was filled with plenty of comedy moments. Shinobu's taunting at Inosuke was really funny, but my funniest moment was the return of Haganezuka. He's so upset that Tanjiro broke his sword that he literally tried to kill him, with his rage beautifully animated at the same time. To make the scene even more funnier, Inosuke got his new swords........and proceeded to batter them to match his old swords, which pissed off his swordmaker, too. XD Only one episode left now. I hope a second season gets announced very soon. Going by the popularity of this show and the fact that it's a Weekly Shounen Jump title, it's very likely that a second season will be made. |
| Soooo...after training arc, we have train arc. NICE! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I liked the direction of this episode, but I can already see people whinning that the last episodes should have been more explosive. Mangaka really wanted us to ship Kanao with SOMEONE!! Just from that statement alone, thankfully I was already set in doing that ship myself ever since she first appeared~~ Shinobu being a really charming onee-sama these last couple of episodes! |
 |
| Interesting, I wasn't expecting to see the train in this season. Now that they will adapt a bit of the demon train arc I have hopes this will get a second season, hopefully made by ufotable too. Second season sure will not cover up to where the manga is now, but it will get far enough to show a pair of upper moons. |
 |
| Outstanding stuff by Kamado, his hard work is really paying off. Even the other 2 have decided they can't sit back and watch anymore otherwise they will be left in the dust, which still might happen eventually anyway from their laziness. Do not anger the swordsmiths! |

| i had heard people talking about a possible love interest for tanjiro, so i immediately thought of shinobu and i was like no thanks but it turns out to be kanao - which i am fine with. lol at inosuke tugging on tanjiro's shirt. best the comedy in this episode was wonderful!!! ahhhhh! what a bliss! any humor that is zenitsu non-reliant is so welcomed. AND FFFFKK I THOUGHT NEZUKO TALKED FOR A SECOND- i'm gonna be so lost after the 26th episode comes out... i won't have anything to look forward to anymore... christ... urghh.. and then once season 2 is announced, i'll have to wait each week yet again for more episodes and oh lord could someone please ship me off to an island for 6 months so i don't have to suffer |
