| This was one of Tanjiro's toughest fights but more importantly, he was entrusted to take down that demon no matter what the odds are with that sword. It also goes to show how tough the upper level demons are compared to the standard and lower levels. Outside of that fight, it was hard also seeing Tanjiro's allies suffer both physically and emotionally. Quite an episode of emotions imo. |
 |
| So, what just happened? First we saw Hantegu’s emotions splitting into four demons and now these demons are merged into one… well fuck this is never going to end this way. And to top it off again the same course.. new creature being ultra OP, giving hard time to everyone, delivering the self righteous speech.. and blah blah. Though hey Tanjiro’s an expert in that thing himself, so first let the debate wars continue and then we’ll fight :) On Muichiro’s side, he’s in some deep trouble. I mean facing an upper moon all alone is an unfathomable task in itself, and moreover a creep like Gyokko, and plus those CGI fishes.. so yeah. But hey he’s going through flashbacks, so he’ll get through it, right? Really thought we’ll get his backstory this episode, but guess that was too much. Might be the next episode. Also hey Haganezuka’s got some super handsome face lol. |
 |
| Things are not looking very good for the boys. Incredibly stronger foe is here and we know how plus they're making things look very bleak for us. The boys are trembling in fear. But, Tanjiro trying to stand his ground was really commendable. Muichiro is still trapped. Seeing that swordsmith who loved his craft so much so for not caring for anything else was really great. But, Muichiro finally was able to escape that water prison thanks to some external help. It was an alright episode once again. The 3DCG implementation was interesting. |
 |
| Just when things were looking good in terms of chopping Hantengu's neck, Zohakuten appears. An amalgamation of the 4 emotion demons, he's going to be a very tough opponent to overcome. But first, we cut back over to Muichiro's struggle against Gyokko. Lol Gyokko is such an idiot, dude could have just easily killed Haganezuka and things would have been fine and dandy for him, but "muh pride as an artist" makes him want to make Haganezuka lose his focus on the sword instead. That all works out in Muichiro's favor, as he manages to escape from the water vase prison thanks to Kotetsu blowing air bubbles in there. Should be getting his backstory next episode before we head into the endgame for these fights. Pretty weak episode this week tbh, only 2 chapters adapted and it's mostly just setting stuff up. And oh boy I can't wait for more inane complaints about CGI that didn't even look that bad lmao. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Finally Zohakuten! It was worth the wait. His entrance and introduction was perfect, and as always, a twisted personality. Although Gyokko takes the cake. Ngl, his interaction with Hahanezuka was lowkey funny lol. The fight will be finally entering its climax from now on. Can’t wait to see Muichiro in action, he has finally managed to free himself from the demon art thanks to a stranger’s words.  |
| Tanjiro's sword fell on the tiny man, and we got to see his character - coward. I find it funny, coz I thought he was just pulling an act. Damn, all those demon parts merged. Eww, him playing a victim was so hideous. Hotaru is so immersed in the sword he doesn't notice his surroundings. We finally get to see Hotaru's face. Muichiro finally remembers his past. |
 |
| That was kind of sad seeing Muichiro give up like that and feel helpless as Kotetsu was attacked. But on the bright side, Muichiro started remembering things about his past, like his father, that helped give him the hope and willpower to break through. His father's voice is real familiar though and sounds a lot like Sugiyama Noriaki. It was also cool to see Haganezuka's face. He's got unique colored eyes like many of other major characters too. Hoping to see more of him because he's quite an interesting character. |
| So the midget had a dragon waiting in the wings. The demon's though really are impressive in their skills at adding complications to the fiekd though. So the new arrival is all of its base four forms in one body then. The aura that its giving off is downright menacing. But the demon's trying to label Tanjiro and the others as the villains really was amusing. Its about time for the mist hashira to remember his duty and break out of his prison. The tide right now is still pretty much in flux thanks to the entry of the compilation but with Tokito joining the fight once more that would change once more. |

zohakuten is here baby 🔥also his background theme is insane  |
| This new demon is way too strong. Atleast Mist hashira is back. |

| I'm a manga reader, but I don't remember what's gonna happen in Swordsmith Village Arc. And since everyone hyping this two last episodes, I'm starting to realize that people just hyping whenever they want. This arc so far is the least favourite for me. This episode was 7/10, it was alright, nothing crazy. The conversation between Tanjiro and Hantengu, and Gyokko and Haganezuka was annoying ah. More than half of episode was just conversation that wasn't even relevant. I know everybody is gonna hate me for this words, but RIGHT NOW Demon Slayer season 3 is very boring. Right now, Hell's Paradise, Oshi no Ko and Dangers in my Heart are PEAK, but not Demon Slayer. Thank you for attention. Peace!✌️  |
| the fusion of the upper moon 4 demon is so strong at last Muichiro finally escaped too |
| On the other side tanjiro got an strong opponent that brings him to his limits. Muichiro has see his life ending but he sees tanjiro in his memories but in reality its his father that has the same eye color. Nice moment for Muichiro. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| The Monjiro part, was the literal 2nd phase boss fight thing, but giving a good reason of why they didn't stopped the boss monologue. Haganezuka is handsome . |
 |
| Perhaps this is the best episode of the year, Tanjirou is such a great character that it makes me want to cry with his teachings. And that ending, folks? How emotional! I can't wait for the next one. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Nice! Didą always work!!! |
| "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." |
| Incredibly tense episode. Seeing that this final emotion is hate, I have a feeling the Hashira of Love is going to fight him. But Tanjiro standing his ground makes me cheer for him even more. We also finally get a Haganezuka face reveal. Despite being a psychotic nutcase, he's actually handsome. I find that kind of funny. |
| It was mid, tbh.The kid's death was mid. |

| Haganezuka's face reveal is here. Man is atleast as handsome as tengen. Zohakuten is here as well Bois. Not gonna lie but his introduction and design just somehow feels far more superior and troublesome then the manga. He actually looks like a powerful demon. They nailed it with the Ost as well. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Genya and Tanjiro just standing there in fear, making gutteral noises, while staring at an overpowering foe reminded me of the worst of DBZ. Weak episode. |
| fuck off man he could have just slashed that water thingy before. so much useless drama. tanjiro's in real trouble though. the whole hatred demon and tanjro part was really great. now he really needs help of a hashira, he can't defeat it even with the help of nezuko and genya. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |

This arc for most of the fandom is typically considered the weakest arc, so you feeling this way isn't that far-fetched tbh. zhaif said: Slight spoiler since this hasn't really been touched on in the anime yet: what hapen to genya hole body from last episode? |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Does anyone else think the pacing and plot feels off this season? The episodes feel like they keep ending in the middle of plot beats. |
 |
| Man really spent almost half the season inside that water trap |
 |
| I think demon slayer exhausted its narrative bulk back in season 1 and Mugen train. This season is nothing but weak villains (narratively), extremely bad expository monologues which dampen the pacing and extremely simple plot. The backstories this season don't work as I find them as low hanging fruits to flesh out the characters. |
 |
| Tanjiro is in for a tough fight with Genya since a 5th demon showed up. Tokitou still trapped in the water vase breathes his final air when Tanjiro shows up and gives him courage but its not Tanjiro in the vision but the father i guess. The child tried to save Tokitou but gets hurt in the process by a demon. Meanwhile there's a swordsman focusing on a sword and not even paying attention to the surroundings, when there's literally a demon. I guess he's gonna use the sword against him or either give it to Tokitou. Tokitou finally learns his 2nd breathing form and escapes the water vase. Now the real battle continues.  |
  |
| So Haganezuka is secretly hot under that mask, I never would have guessed. Than God Zenitsu isn't in this arc, you'd never hear the end of annoying screaming. Mist Hashira has finally gotten his memory back. Tanjiro unexpectedly helped him by having red eyes that remind Muchiro of his father. He also got out of the water finally its been like 4 episodes, but it felt like an eternity. 50 50 on the kid dying they could go either route. |
| That hatred demon ost was dope 🔥 |

Peace!✌️ Well, after this arc comes a smaller arc, which is not that bad imo, I'll give it a 7,8/10. *IF YOU WANT SOME NOT SO SPOILERS THAN READ THIS* BUT after that is gonna be mindblowing fights, tragic character development and their backstories, I'm telling you at the bottom of my heart, that this last two arcs gonna have some crazy and insane animation. |

This season is kind of the same in terms of action, although I can understand the hype because new season means new demons, new hashira and new fight scenes. i’s give it 8.5 how it currently is on MAL right now, because its amazing but nothing to special in terms of plot and the pacing feels slow to give the ultimate ending for the last 2 eps. (edit): also the only anime thats peak are Oshi no ko and Heavenly delusions. The others you listed are okay, everyone has a preference though. |
