As fun as this is, the amount of plot armor and asspulls are just too obnoxious.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some shounen power ups, but this whole fight has been nothing but that.

Is Zenistsu, Hashira level now??


Nope. No one of the main trio is Hashira level yet. You will see in the later arcs, the remaining Hashira are monsters, especially Muichiro, Iguro, Gyomei and Sanemi.


Wait is the "monster" part hinting that theyre demons?? is this spoiler or is just me reading it wrong?

there is a whole mark system Outta nowhere...that will enable hashiras to fight upper moons...but atleast the fights then will make sense... except last battle

If this is what Ufotable can do now, I can't wait to see how they'll adapt the Infinity Castle Arc. These past 2 episodes are better than S1 and the movie.

This episode has broken the streak of the number of KnY episodes I've found boring in a row. Good animation doesn't exactly entertain me as much as it does to other people but this one is a huge exception. Was not expecting it at all.

Oh I cant wait for the infinity castle arc as well. If ufotable keeps dropping better and better animation after every arc, then infinity castle arc might top any movie level animation.

He is talking about rusted armors.
Truly the best animation this season that even Kny cant compete with.

Nah bro Rusted armors tops Kny and princess connect.

All jokes aside, that golem fight was insane (Not as good as this episode but I literally was not expecting that).

I guess at this point it all goes down to preferences, and I stan strong animation style from Priconne. IMO way smoother than KnY, but KnY still slaps, I adore KnY sound design and direction.

Ya, I think I am too tired of arguing with people complaining about asspulls and such.

But honestly, I loved the fight sequence in the manga, but I had no idea I was going to love it MORE in the anime. Truly magnificent. I truly hope the animators can get some rest.

For this season I didn't think Ufotable could make an episode with better quality than episodes 6 and 8.
But the proof is there in episode 10, what an incredible animation.

brutal fights, poison, broken fingers and a weapon through the jaw.
I liked how Tanjirou ran away with Katana, Nezuko and Nezuko's box.
It was really impressive how Tanjirou didn't die. Of course it seems a bit odd that he nearly is as good as Uzui to some degree.
Zenistsu Lightning always looks so amazing

Tanjirou's fast breathing looked so desperate though.

as manga reader of this arc, the animation makes it look so much better and I think this can't look any better for the next few years to come.

At least this time they managed to get rid of the demons, although the whole entertainment district is destroyed.

The end of the episode made it look really grim and dark.

Holy moly. The animation was also great in this episode. Everyone's determination in beheading the demon's head was so GREAT. I was so hyped and I was jumping all around and stuff that a hyped human would do.

Last episode is said to be 45 minutes long, like the first episode. So epic!

I was near tears of exhilaration watching this epic episode. Simply stunning and moving action. You could feel the passion poured into making this by Ufotable. Out of this world! One of the best episodes of any action anime I've ever seen. Mind blown.

This show is just becoming so much fun by the minute.

My reaction to Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc Episode 10

Don't get me wrong, this episode was visually stunning and it won't be exaggeration if someone says best episode of the season so far. But it had some narrative issues. I'll point them out while praising the praiseworthy parts.

First start with the praise:
● Visuals, visuals, visuals. Damn it was a visually stunning episode. Dedication+Budget. Great work Ufotable staff

● Best part of the episode apart from visuals is foreshadowing and reasoning behind Inosuke's survival. How his dislocation method was foreshadowed few episodes back and was implemented in this episode while giving the proper reasoning to him being immune to poison due to his wild nature was great.

Now comes the criticism/questions:
● Every villain toying with the MC in dire situation is just old fashioned that reduces narrative quality by a lot. Don't get me wrong. Even some of my favorite shounens have such issues but the thing is modern shounen should atleast make some effort to break out of that norm. In that standard shows like World Trigger, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia and even AOT does a better job. Now atleast I'll give DS credit for demonisation part. If Upper 6 invites Tanjiro for demonisation then that toying has atleast a reason. But still leaves some questions. Like Akaza offered Rengoku to become a demon as he liked the fact that Rengoku was a strong human. So why didn't Upper Moon 6 offered that to Sound Hashira and chose Tanjiro? May be he's jealous of Sound Hashira and shows pity to Tanjiro and his sibling (?)
Well that's just my theory.

● I was really disappointed when Tanjiro stabbed Upper 6 with kunai. I mean this demon was super fast to match Sound Hashira and avoided previous kunai but he didn't notice a kunai and got stabbed into his feet by Tanjiro!!! May be he let his guard down by arrogance (?)
Another overused method of writing plot convenience!!! The smell thing right after however did a damage control but leaves questions like whether the Demon is smell dependent or speed dependent? Or both? Or the speed depends on smelling capability? The problem is Demon Slayer don't answer these type of questions which don't do justice to it's narrative and amazing visuals.

● The thing that was most questionable was Sound Hashira stopping his heart out of nowhere in the middle of a fight!!! I am definitely not questioning the method in a supernatural shounen. I am questioning his reasoning and assurance. How was he so sure that the Demon won't crush his skull or behead him after he stops his heart!!! And the most frustrating part was they didn't show what happened in that end in previous episode.

● Repetitive use of regaining Tanjiro's consciousness by the flashback of family is narratively demeaning.

ufotable just knows how to mess with your emotions, and my god the animation is actually out of this world. I'm a big sound fan and i love that during the scene tanjiro is fighting the poison, they didn't put some dramatic score in the bg but instead, chose to make it quiet with nothing but the fire and muffled screams of Uzui in the back ground.

This episode felt to have a lot of plot convenience, but... I guess with that animation we don't care at all! :'D
There is some of the best animation of the entire planet, combined with an excellent sound to make a spectacular storytelling. I can imagine the sense of self-realization of the people from Ufotable.

In the glorious episode 19 of S1, Tanjiro was close to actually decapitating Rui, but ultimately had to be saved by Giyu.

Here it's the same thing again. Tanjiro was close to decapitating Gyuutarou on his own, but Uzui had to step in and save him. But this time, instead of sitting back and watching the Hashira go to work, Tanjiro recognizes that Uzui is still no match for Gyuutarou, and gets back up on his feet to help take the upper moon down.

At this point I was expecting Uzui to say something like "Get back! It's too dangerous! Let me handle this!" But no, instead he basically says "TANJIRO GET THE FK IN HERE AND HELP ME FINISH THIS DUDE!" I just love that. Tanjiro then of course proceeds to actually be the one to decapitate Gyuutarou, with the support of Uzui, and Zenitsu and Inosuke being able to hold their own and actually finish off Daki.

Looks like hope was lost in the first half of the episode and witnessing Tanjiro running away was a bit of a shock what can he do against that overpowered demon in front of him until the fact the second half started with him outsmarting Gyutaro just like that

The second half looked like it was a breeze handling those sibling demons and after it ended we thought it's all over until that self destruction happened what a cliffhanger to end it all still ufotable bringing out the best animations on the table.

Can manipulate body part doesn't mean you can do it when you got stabbed UNNOTICED by an enemy , that just say asspull plot armor if you asked me. then what's the point in surprised attack!? just for shocking moment!? lol

This will be my last reply in this thread

Instead of all that the author should have written :"I shift my heart before running away, shifting the position of my organ is just child's play" that will be more logical than this anyway. Same thing, better written.

At the end of the day Gyutaro can't sense about the heart.

If he did sense the heart he would know that Inosuke did not get stabbed in the heart.

And about immune to poison nice reason......mehhh. Maybe every other hashiras should go do the same.

End of story
inosuke can shift his organs and he can sense demons. Gyutaro never told inosuke's dead. He told soon inosuke will die. Inosuke being immune to Poison is not an asspull. He was raised in mountains and his breathing techniques are all about controlling his inner body which can help him to resist Poison

Oh man the battle is so long that I want to skip the battle scenes but it is too immersive to skip.

I didn't think their enemies would self-destruct like that. The animation is looking like the final battle that is over-the-top.

I can't wait for the conclusion later.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
