The episode was epic!! But the sword used by tanjiro was that some random sword or the sword from the puppet?

Haganezuka is still working on the rusted sword. The one Tanjiro is currently using was given to him for temporary use.

damn i can feel the pain from swordsmiths on the vase, but also that's illegal way to end it on cliffhanger.

Worthy of the best animation award! I can confidently say is the best of the best when it comes to Ufotable although I would not say this was their best showing of that awesomeness that would have to be season 2 episode 11.

Gyokko certainly is one messed up and twisted demon. His work of "art" is nothing more than the luckless swordsmiths of the village butchered up together, almost to the brink of death for each of them. I can't blame Tokito for getting ticked off by the sight of this, but despite his attempts to strike at Gyokko, he now finds himself in trouble from a counterattack from Gyokko, where he can't use his sword to break out, nor his breathing technique, either. I can only imagine that he'll find a new way to power up to break out of his watery prison, or someone else arrives to rescue him. I'm sure the next episode of the one after that will answer that question of mine.

Mitsuri finally arrived at the village and got stuck in, taking out all of the fish monsters, including a huge one that was crushing the village chief close to death. Her technique to take out the fish boss in one hit looked fabulous and the comedic scene afterwards was rather amusing, too. One of the better ones of the series, I'd say. =)

The main talking point of this episode was Tanjiro's Hinokami Kagura once more. Thanks to Nezuko using her blood to fire up his sword, he wasted no time in going rampant on the Hantengu clones, where the animation popped off bloody hard. Even after seeing this animation pop off many times in this series already, I can't never get bored of seeing how smooth, crisp and precise the quality is here. Excellent job once again, ufotable!

However after beheading three of the clones, Tanjiro saw that the fourth clone's head was beheaded by Genya, but Genya himself was not okay at all. It looks like he has become a demon himself, which was a juicy way to end the episode on that cliffhanger. I can only hope that Genya can be helped here, but that's easier said than done.

Indeed. Animation is always praised but we must point out the ost as well. It just makes it so much better.

I am getting yuukaku hen vibes from this again. Entertainment district arc picked up from episode 6. It went crazy viral. Then after that it was pure madness. After that we all know ufotable dropped one of the most beautiful fight scene out there in anime history when they released ep 10.

We might be in for a similar situation with this one. Ep 1 was movie level and now ep 5 is a hot topic of discussion because of the amazing animation. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes to drop. We might just get the best animation in history by the end of this season.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

now THIS one was a better watch than last one. we got to see Kanroji and Muichiro more in action and Tanjiro is getting stronger. knowing where this goes, and if the adaptation stays just as true to the manga as it always has, I know this season will be going places.

Amazing episode visually and also on the sound enginnering, great work.
My only problem right now is with the power level, is Tanjiro maybe a bit too strong as of now? I know that UM4 weakens as he splits and since he was split into 4, the power level for each clone seems to be more on the Lower Moon Tier(High Lower Moons), even so Tanjiro would have to behead 3 strong Lower Moons if that's what the powerleveling of this episode shows, so I'm a bit confused as this would make him close to a Hashira powerlevel, maybe that's why the next episode title is like that?
I would like someone to clarify myself on the powerlevels as that is what made me not like the episode so much as in a writing standpoint, but the episode quality was insanely good.

The amount of exposition talk was mind numbing. This show has both one of the best visuals at times, and one of the worst writing most of the time. Most of the episode I was distracted, thinking when characters will finally shut up and stop describing what we're already seeing. So far this arc is plain awful.

Peak Ufotable Animation and they got Nozomu Abe who presented the best fight animations of the anime for this episode 🔥! Muzan blood cells straight up got scared looking at Tanjirou with the Sun Breathing combined with Nezuko's Demon Blood Arts lol

Good individual part for Mitsuri, Muichiro and Tanjiro, especially Tanjiro unleashed the katana's power and it looked incredible during the beheading scenes... though that's a surprising cliffhanger, I wonder what's truly happening

Nezuko made it clutch for Tanjiro by using her blood demon arts to make his hinokami kagura vibrant and epic.
Now Tanjiro is ready to whoop some upper moon demon's ass.

Muichiro seems to be struggling against upper moon 5 as he gets impaled by fish spikes and engulfed in a water casing. Not only is my boi slowly getting poisoned but he's drowning too. Mans not living his best life. Feels bad man.

Best girl Mitsuri came through with the village safe. She can slay.

I don't know if I've felt this way in the first and second season but every episode leaves me wanting more and I can't handle it.
I honestly am loving this season, it's a little weird with pacing but otherwise, I'm enjoying it. And the reveal of Genya is making me crazy. Dying for the next episode!

Another terrible episode, Ufotable saves their budget for these brief moments of Tanjirou that last 2 or 3 seconds but will go down in history as "the best animation of all time." I'm amazed at how this anime struggles to make characters speak normally, except for the Mist Hashira and that Akaza, everyone just screams.
Not even Kanroji's hotness will save it.
And it seems like pulling things out of thin air is Kimetsu no Yaiba's modus operandi, why bother building something when you can just pull it out of thin air and then use a flashback to justify it?
Abysmal, as always.


I was kinda falling asleep until those 20 seconds of good animation, but remember this, people just know the names of studios like MAPPA, A-1, Cloverworks and Ufotable, so of course Ufotable is the one that comes out on top when compared to mediocre studios, not saying Ufotable is bad, but just because they are good doesn't mean we should forget Kyoto Animation and Production IG exists.


Production IG….. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
