| oh genya backstory booooorinnngggggggaaaaaa |
 |
 this scene was hilarious XD |
| Wow a lot of action in the begin of the episode. Tokitou still behind held in the vase water but he has a plan, I just feel it. Tanjiro realized that there's a 5th demon and send Genya after him, wow he's tiny lmao. We got a lot of backstory from when Genya was still a child, he hadn't that easy growing up since his shit father beat their mom up the whole time while the mom worked from day till night, without any sleep and to make their children happy. It broke my heart when I saw the mom turn into a demon and kill all the children in-front of Genya, but Genya didn't realize it until later when his big brother brought the mom to sunlight to make a end to it. Tanjiro is giving Genya a lot of courage and saying to not give up, so he jumped in-front of Tanjiro and told him to run after the tiny demon. Tanjiro is now face to face with the tiny demon. A rather emotional and action packed episode what left us on a cliffhanger, or some sort. |
  |
| Genya's backstory was quite tragic. Couldn't fathom the emotions that Genya's brother had to go through to protect his brother. At the expense of killing their mother. That must've been traumatizing. |
 |
| Genya's gun is really helpful eh? Even filled with holes he can still regenerate, that's cool. And Tanjiro's fire breathing is finally here in full force! I can't wait to see how this will end - or if there's more to the demons than it seems, since the hashiras aren't here yet! |
 |
| What a great place to put a cliffhanger... |
| Honestly i didnt care or more like i kinda disliked Genya ever since he showed in season 1 and then when he showed up again this season, but after this episode my view on him has turned a 180! he is so incredibly cool and his backstory was really well done! besides Genya, this episode was still really good and the fact there was a 5th demon which was incredibly small was something i was not expecting at all but i thought it was so clever and loved it. anyways this is a 10/10 once again. |
My Candys!     |
| Boring episode in general, the current battle feels drawn out and this season doesn´t seems to be able to take off yet... They overextend the flashbacks with unnecessary information too much on this series, it´s like they try to copy Saint Seiya but are not subtle enough in it´s execution to create a truly emotional impact. For example we see the mother turned demon killing the siblings, it was impactful and raw scene and one could tell right from the start by the silhouette that it resembled his mother but then Genya gotta have another flashback right after that scene recapping everything that happened? It became redundant and the spectator could tell moment we saw the killing, there def was no need to double on it, almost felt like they had to explain it for their dumber or younger viewers but what it actually achieved was to weaken the scene. |

| What a perfect Mother’s Day episode :) Jokes aside I love Genya and I can’t wait to see more people to start changing their feelings on him. Excited for his later scenes |

| Backstory was nb but da fack was that death flashback lasting forever lolz. So far the fight still feels underwhelming. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| i liked genya's backstory but felt like it went on too long; and of course we end on a massive cliffhanger because of that. |
 |
| Best of the season so far, the backstories always hit in Demon Slayer |
Gabu-sama said: yes, he's inherited the technique and also leveled up big time. it makes me emotional to think about that and how awesome it is. i just think a lot of people (myself included) thought the timing and length of that flashback was poorly done and we ended on one hell of a bad cliffhanger. all in all a very poorly thought out episode. i dont hate the season like some others but i do have some questions about narrative or directional choices here.Amazing episode once again, with a nice bit of backstory to boot. I also feel like people are ignoring a crazy new reveal: Tanjiro has just used SEVERAL Hinokami Kagura techniques in a row and doesn't even appear tired. His fights against Gyutaro and Yoriichi-0 seem to REALLY have powered him up. weinergloryxd said: i think the gimmick is so overplayed it loses impact after a while?the pacing feels really off... i don't know how to put it, i cant feel anything for the characters. i don't know if it's the fight getting dragged out or the sudden backstory when you know tanjiro's gonna save the day, like i can't feel anything for genya. maybe the way they present the sad backstories were just a gimmick that made me feel characters in the first season but ever since rengoku i haven't sympathized with a single character on the show...

| basically, genya's whole family got one shot by their mom who became a demon. everyone made fun of rengoku for becoming a donut but genya became a donut pro max. although genya is very much alive. nezuko and her pink flames looked fire and that tiny demon running around looked funny. but overall, it all feels a bit repititive. those 10 seconds of hype moments are cool but then the rest of the episode just feels meh. |

| for such a long fight, the enemy isnt particularly interesting |
 |
| up and down episode but it looks like they'll rebound off of it next episode |
| Okay yep, I'm now fully convinced that opening doors in anime is deadly |
 |
| The slow motion bit when Genya was about the get hit lasted a bit too long. Aside from that it was an enjoyable episode. Little demon running around was funny. |
| Genya is one tough swiss cheese. Okamoto once again doing a fantastic job at voicing him. Nice episode. I liked the backstory and gotta say my opinion on Genya has positively changed. So is he like Nezuko or not? |
| What a brutal Mother's Day episode, this episode was. With Upper Rank 4 Kanketsu's Emotion Demons dealt with, Tanjiro still feels something is amiss, and Genya in his overzealous state to beat him to the punch, they have all regenerated, and the most important now is to find that 5th demon lurking in the scenes, who is a wimp compared to the other 4. With Tanjiro covering for both Genya with Nezuko for assistance, they have no room for error, and so is Tokito's resilience against Gyokko. The 5th demon, however, is a puny-sized demon that's the shape of a mouse, but like the demons, virtually undefeatable no matter what weapons he throws at it. Genya's backstory of a family with their protective mother against an abusive father, and life is rough. As if it wasn't rough enough, a demon coming to attack Genya and his siblings in one fell swoop, but who his big brother Sanemi ended up killing was their mother instead, who turned into a demon. And with nowhere else to go, all Genya had was his talent, which was useless against his brother, who had become a Hashira before him. Knowing that he could not behead the 5th demon, Genya graced it onto Tanjiro to get the job done. With the slash, will the job be done? |

| What a good Mother’s Day this is lol, but really tho that was a messed up backstory. Sure I saw the tragedy coming but it was still upsetting to watch, and I guess this means Genya isn’t so different from Tanjiro when it comes to his reasons for being a demon slayer. And the fight rages on, Hantengu’s four stooges are still standing thanks to the fact that his real body is shrunk way down and hiding around like a little rat, the scenes where he was running away were pretty funny lol. And of course it cuts us off right as Tanjiro goes for the kill, I think this means it’s not gonna work but we shall see lol. |
| Does Tanjiro really not realize that Genya's a demon. Like he's got long anime hair, long fingernails, fangs, and is drooling. Also the tiny demon running was unironically hilarious. |
| What a shitty ass episode. Tanjiro can't stop talking obvious shit. Genya's backstory is cry bait trash. Tokito and Upper Five's fight doesn't evoke in me, fear and anxiety for the trapped Hashira. The protags and antags fight for no fcking reason besides for the most superficial of reasons. Rui fight was interesting because it was as much a clash of ideals as it was a clash between a demon and a demon slayer. The fight with the upper four is extremely terrible. All the hits and blows mean nothing. We know Nezuko and Tanjiro aren't going to die nor are they going to hurt the Upper Four. How is the fight good then if there are no stakes? The choreography is trash as well. The environments feel flat for example. |
 |
| Holy fuck the voice acting of young Genya was horrendous and grating to listen to. Also the backstory was unnecessarily long for a split second thought, what a mid episode yet again. |
 |
ZaynAckerman said: Anyone else getting annoyed by Tanjiro? He seems so fake and slap happy its weird. Me too brother. I can't take Tanjiro seriously because of this reason. |
|
| Oh.. Genya's backstory covered most of episode, rest of the episode was ok. Tanjiro always saying 'Don't give up' so many times, just gets annoying and how the heck were they talking about becoming a hashira when the fight is not even over. Pretty sure Tanjiro would behead that small demon in the next episode. Waiting for ufotable's great animation. |

| ufotable knows what they're doing considering airing it during mothers day, my poor boy genya can't use breathings. |
