| After watching it, I went ahead in MAL and rate this season 10/10. I'm speechless. |
| Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. The animation again from Ufotable was GOAT-worthy, and the direction this time was far better than Episode 9. The OST suited the mood, and they actually got through the latter half of the episode without the predictable flashbacks, which unsurprisingly enhanced the scene, and gave it more momentum. This was better than Episode 19 of S1 imo. The only disappointments are the asspulls. Inosuke rearranging his organs to survive, and Tanjiro dipping into a seemingly endless well of strength for 5 episodes now to keep fighting. There's no rhyme or reason to some of the logic, but damn it was entertaining. |
| This is one of the best and epic Demon Slayer episodes I've seen so far. Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke used their finishing moves all together to finish off the battle against Daki and Gyutaro! Awesome job on the animation, Ufotable! |

| One of the best animation of all time fr. Good job |
| The best demon slayer episode so far, kny haters can cope harder |

| Ufotable wow. The animation is so good. Love it! |

| That was Fate Heaven's Feel level of sakuga fight. 23 minutes worth it (ノ｡♥‿♥｡)ノ |
 |
| Solid episode, in summary: Plot armor, asspulls & teamwork > cocky siblings that prefer to insult than finish off their enemies The end of this episode was another reminder that no matter how good the animation, storyboard and soundtrack are, Gotouge will find a way to ruin the tension with some bland comedy. Newsflash for Ufotable, no one would've complained if you removed the 3 wives screaming/slapstick bit at the end. |

| omfg, that ep... actually such an amazing ep. |
| Ah Ufotable did their best to save Demon Slayer lmao. They improved the fight so much from the manga it's crazy. And I finally got to see my favourite breathing form animated. Beast Breathing: Asspulls. Anything works as long as the reason is "I grew up in the wild. I can do any shit." It was funny to see Inosuke catching and keeping up with Zenitsu's Godlike Speed Form. But the best form was Sun Breathing: Protagonist. It forced Upper Moon 6 to shit talk for the entire first half of the episode to save the protagonist. Look at Tengen :/ If only he knew about this special form, Gyuutaro would not have gone for the kill on him. Though his Sound Breathing was powerful too. Made Gyuutaro just check his heartbeat to make sure he was dead when the demon could have just beheaded him. |

| "My Katana is dull" *still proceeds to be able to cut* "I have no more strength" *proceeds to get back to action for the 10th time* Overall a very predictable narrative structure ever since the Mugen train arc. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| This is Ufotable at its peak, on par if not better than their animation on Heaven's feel ,i'm sure almost everyone will agree that this episode was insane and very enjoyable. The plot is nothing special and full of what people consider "asspull" but this is proof (once again) that high production values can save almost everything as long as the script is barely decent. Watching Kny and Aot on the same day just ruins the latter for me unfourtunately. Yes, i'm salty, how could you tell? |
 |
| This episode alone deserves: Anime episode of the year candidate. Best demon slayer episode. To be called a masterpiece A 10/10 rating Most immersive episode. Best Animation. |
 |
| HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THIS EPISODE IS ON FIRE!!! Ok guys, let be honest. The best part about this episode is Tanjiros mother headbutting boar. |
| "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." |
| Feels bad for Daki and Gyutaro. This adaptation is on some different shit, but they went extra ham this time. The raw hype this episode radiated is worthy the label peak fiction. The audiovisual presentation is that divine. Had me almost shouting alongside Tanjiro and the others. 6/5 (rewatched the intense action part) Demon Slayer raised the bar for other shounen. Though, I think Jujutsu Kaisen will again be able to compete once we get to a certain arc. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This episode gave me goosebumps, honestly the best animation in this episode than in any anime ive ever seen. I loved how they animated gyutaro cutting through tanjirous jaw as tanjirou beheaded him. This might even be the best episode of any anime ive ever watched aswell no debate that its in my top 3 episodes. Once again Ufotable deserve so much praise |
animejas said: The action in the second half of the episode looked good and again, better than the animation in episode 19 but the animation and sakuga itself didn't blow me away this week in particular and standing out in a special manner from other weeks barring the explosion at the end. The Tengen-Gyutaro action was fast-paced and looked great with the lighting and not much monologues slowing it down so that was cool at least with the movie feel, but other than the flashiness and sakuga involved, there wasn't much going for this fight and the episode to keep me invested in it. Episode 19 from Season 1 at least had better music and more character-driven moments going for it, even if the writing there wasn't extraordinary either. Here it looked cooler with all-out action everywhere but it didn't blow me away much with it and emotionally didn't engage me at all either. Wasn't a massive fan of the flames in general for the backgrounds, it looks too digital to me. Idk what to say about this episode, it's not a terrible episode by any means but it felt a little underwhelming to me. Probably how I feel with this season, it looks movie-level with the digital effects used for action with some solid mix of cinematography used but there's nothing else really going for it. One more episode at least is remaining for this season, and I will give ufotable praise for animating it with high standards consistently for a TV anime with a movie presence to it. yup yup u just summaries this season very well. its all abt animation and its kinda sad |

| Great episode, even if the "villain not killing the protagonist instantly" sort of thing tends to be ridiculous. Also the fact that you could tell (even without reading the manga) it coming from a mile away that Tanjiro and his buddy-buddies weren't dead and all of them had a role to play. Nevertheless, I can forgive these tropes as it is pretty much a well-made shounen. Gotta hand it to the animators, Marked Tanjiro was hype as fuck. If I had to nitpick on one detail, they could have just postponed the Taisho secret on this part. Felt very out of place when the village they fought in literally explodes and Nezuko comes to tell a fact about Tanjiro's forehead as he's choking on blood and poison. Btw a quick edit for anyone wondering about how Tanjiro got a power-up this time: there's a price to pay for it. |

| This was the best episode by far, loved the animation and it was nice seeing a glimpse of the demon slayer mark :D |
| THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M ONCE AGAIN AMAZED! BROOO THIS EPISODE WAS FIRE BUT THEY OVERDID TANJIRO AND HIS HEALTH ASF. ZENITSU MY BOY DOESNT FAIL TO SURPRISE ME AND INOSUKE AND HIS REARRANGMENT OF HIS ORGANS LMFAOOO. UZUI THE HASHIRA THE BEASTTTTTTTTTT. BRO IM CRYINGGGGG THAT THIS ARC IS COMING TO AN END. *gonna rewatch tho heheh* |
| Random power ups and asspulls, classic demon slayer. But did we really need two ep with fakeout deaths in a row? |
| The Most Flashiest Fight Yet!!!!!!!! Ufotable's animation for this episode went beyond my wildest imagination, Seeing all those sparks and explosions caused by the fight......I'm just out of words!!!!! It's been a while since an anime has got me this hyped up!!!!!! Anyways the 4 of em manage to decapitate both Daki and Gyutarou......also I liked Zenitsu's God speed move, it was really cool considering the animation. Good to know that Inosuke's alive and kicking!!!!! But again they left us on a huge cliff hanger......I can't wait to see next week's episode which concludes this season......After watching this episode, I just can't help but love season 2 so much!!!!!! |
| Dear lord that was a rush. I may have my issues with the show but they know how to craft a gorgeous and chaotic fight scene while still making it easy to follow. This shit was awesome to watch, and you could really feel the desperation with everyone screaming their lungs out to win. Some surprisingly brutal moments and some words from Nezuko were pleasant surprises. But goddamnit another cliffhanger, it's clear that they won the fight but I wonder how our guys are walking away from this. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the main three are permanently injured after this, or if Tengen and/or one of his wives died. Guess we'll see next week with the finale. Also had to laugh at the comically out of place Taisho secret at the end. |
| Are ya winning, diners? |
| That's got to be some of the best artwork I've seen in an anime. The scenery was fire - literally. Despite all the despair of last episode, they've managed to cut off both demons' heads... And despite the power of plot-Armour, the battle still doesn't seem to be just quite over... Apparently next week's episode is the finale, so we'll get to see how it all plays out then. |
 |
| Great fight amazing sakuga next episode is going to be interesting. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Best anime episode of all time. |
| Something has to be here... やめてください |
| And after the best episode of this season, we have the worst episode of all Kimetsu no Yaiba and probably one of the worst episodes in anime history. Koyoharu Gotoge must give 90% of their money to Ufotable. Please, if you're a mindless fanboy, don't quote me. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
