Yikes, an upper demon that can split into more and more after being cut. Seriously, they're dealing with the big guns now this season so expecting insane abilities out of these guys.

Still, Tanjirou gave a hell of a fight this episode and seems like his training pulled off. Ufotable gave this episode great production quality for that fight and made it look like a movie. Poor Nezuko though..as she struggled. This also felt like one of the more important fights as it shows Tanjirou's growth.

no sense for the vase being the power instead of the head for the fish. literally 0 explanation and it goes against ALL head canon for demons (no pun)

the fights were bland and garbage. the good animation is what keeps me interested, but this was hot trash

the fight with the eagle guy made no sense. How was he so light? because his wings were small? That makes some sense. But why/how did protag-kun push him so far into the castle lmao. do physics not work in the anime?

grabbing the talon and expecting it to be impervious to electricity makes no sense, but lets wax off the protag for thinking on his feet in battle

the wind guy just happens to return when the electric guy is about to lose. and he fus ro da's them unconscious

this anime is peak throw random ideas at a wall and bring them up

i still don't understand if these two upper demons confirmed it was the village, why not bring Muzan and all top 3 to wreck the village into oblivion.

AND HOW DID THE DEMON FIND OUT ABOUT THIS SUPA SECRET VILLAGE

muichiro literally says that pot is a source of power because its a blood demon art. i can agree that the tanjiro fight was a bit slow paced and the cuts were strange but not terrible. lets not forget that tanjiro had be shocked before so he may have thought up something while he was separated from that fight. what did you expect the wind dude to stay out of the fight for the rest of it?? as stated in the FIRST episode of this season, the reason gyokko (and hantengu) even went to the village was to confirm if the information that gyokko received was true after muzan had outbursted and decapittated gyokko. as for how gyokko got the info its never really disclosed but i will simply provide a quote I found: " [font="\"Noto Sans\", Arial, sans-serif"]So this brings us to my theory, in the fan book it's stated that Muzan likes Gyokko because his pots go for a lot of money, so he sells them to people. I think this is how he found the location. What I think happened is that Muzan sold one of Gyokko's pots to someone not knowing they were a part of the swordsmith village, and when brought to the village and nightfall struck, he used his abilities to come out of the vase and bada bing bada-boom he finds the village."[/font]

1 - Those fishes are not your regular demons, they are summoned by the upper moons with blood arts so it makes sense if their weak points are not their heads but the vase instead.

2 - I kinda agree, I wasn't impressed with the fight in this episode, it was lacking compared to the previous fights. That being said, I won't call it bland or garbage, I will call it uninspiring instead.

3 - If that happens then Demon Slayer will end in that same episode and we don't want that, wouldn't we?

4 - Yeah I found this dumb too, they couldn't find that village for more than a century and suddenly, they are able to find it now, this was silly. I guess we can say that the death of the Upper Moon (Gyutaro & Daki) was a wake-up call for them and they started to take this more seriously and made more effort into finding the village. It was silly, but this can be an excuse I guess.
