Xenocrisi said: why would they extend the fight that was purposely short to portray how strong muichiro is?? and just because the animation was what all the hype was making it out to seem doesnt mean it was bad, there really wasnt anything very poorly doneWho would have thought that Mitsuri was the actual MVP for those two seconds in which she appeared in an episode titled after another character. Most disappointing episode of the season so far for me. They really did Muichiro dirty, at least he was pretty funny this episode not gonna lie. Gyokko was as easily provocated as he died. Man, I was hoping they would extend the fight from the manga, but somehow it was as bad. Animation was also very lackluster. Guess we got the best Muichiro sequence from the last few minutes of the last episode. Truly didn’t live up to the hype. Pretty bad episode. Forgetting that, we’re back to the main fight. I’m just here for the final episode directed by Shirai. Mitsuri please, for the love of god, save this season.  |
| Good episode, but not a good upper moon fight. Looks like a generic demon. |
| Tokito's slander against Gyokko begins, and for all the time, the Upper Rank 5 hasn't been revealing his real form, and even that is unsurprising at the very least. Learning from the past, Yuuichiro may not be saved, but Tokito did to train his body to prepare for the one moment of eliminate off the demons, starting with Gyokko, decapitating him in the least expected of situations. That's what makes him the Mist Hashira: calmness under pressure, being unshakable. But still, Tokito is affected by Gyokko's fish poison, and Kotetsu is actually fine from the attack that Kanamori is overly worried with. Back to the fight against the Upper Rank 4, and Tanjiro, Nezuko and Genya find themselves in the death predicament, with Mitsuri coming in clutch for her moment to shine. Tokito is just as impressive as the other Hashiras, now it's Mitsuri's turn to prove herself. |
 |
| Now lets see if episode 10 is going to be the equivalent of latest season episode 10, or if they will save the sakuga for the last episode |
 |
| Yo! Mitsuri's technique and moves are based on ballet and rhythmic gymnastics. That's so cool! But yeah... other than that, pretty average episode overall. Really disappointed with the amount of pauses the Muichirou-Gyokko fight had. |
| Quite a fun and exciting episode. One Upper Rank demon down, one more to go 😊 |

Khalifla said: Ah, I see. To me the biggest issue with this fight was the direction. It felt chaotic, even though the choreography itself was done well (which is not easy for a fast paced action sequence intertwined with breaks for characters roasting themselves).comon we can't discuss that the fight is bad bcz of Fighting choreography, direction it's ufotable bro, just in general upper 5 felt too weak but either muichiro didn't seem like too op for me, and that made me a little bit angry bcz rengoku and uzui fights was too intense comparing to this. Alse we got also full episode of muichiro flashback but just 10 minutes to finish an upper rank fight Kymazaki said: Why did you quote me when I didn't even mention fast paced action as a con? ;pAdnash said: you guys do understand that just because a fight was quick doesnt mean it was bad right?In which way? Fighting choreography, direction, dialogue between two fighters? But yeah, even though Gyokko's final form looked sick in how crazy his movements were, I think this fight can be a serious contender to be the worst so far from all fights where any Pillar was involved. |
| Finally, we get to move forward a little bit. While flashbacks can be very effective with filling out backstory, motivations, and adding weight to a story; having too many can make it feel like no progress is being made in the main story. Seeing Muichiro finally decapitate arguably the most annoying demon so far was satisfying. I do find it funny that the battle was just them flinging insults at each other for a time. Loved the fact that the blade hilt guard saved the kid's life. Such a great way to honor the legacy of Rengoku, while also showing Muichiro that he can count on others, like Tanjiro. |

| Was anyone under any impression that anything will happen to Tanjiro? Of course not. Which is why the save from Mitsuri doesn't work at all. It felt corny. Gyokko is the worst upper moon. The fight was utterly boring. Gyokko never felt like a legit threat but a joke. The fight never felt like a proper fight. All of it was Gyokko throwing shit at Muichiro and getting toyed in return. Where's the hand-to-hand? Or anything resembling a challenge? |
 |
| I think the funny moments ruined the mood. I love demon slayer, but I can't rate this season as highly as the 1st and 2nd. Too bad, but I'm hoping for improvement. |

| Muichirou is really carrying this season. |
| It was really entertaining to see Muichirou insulting that demon with his flat expression lol. And finally, Mitsuri in action! Finally. Looking forward to next week's episode. |
 |
| That was pretty solid in my books. finally rounded up the vase dude and got rid of him for good. |

| Muichirou made him shut up in the most epic way lol. And now against the dragon of course Mitsuri had to come to handle the fight properly |
 |
| I saw some people mention it's the worst arc in the whole series and I can easily believe it. Still makes me wonder why they didn't try to improve it while adapting. Majority of the lines are characters describing what they are currently doing. It's even worse than a straight exposition dump. What's the point of the whole animation when script could be better used for an audiobook or picture drama at best. And this God damned utterly awful humour getting everywhere with moronic jokes and faces, even in the middle of life and death situations. Are writers for this show playing some kind of game where they pass the script between each other and write couple of lines without looking at what was written before, just going by an overall outline? Just downgrade the animation a bit, brighten the coulours and add some stat windows or other RPG reference and you wouldn't be able to tell this season apart from an average isekai. It's that badly written. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
Zaxphred said: now that Kanroji is here everything would be a ok also like to mention like how muichiro killed an upper four single handed Upper five right? |
| Man I can't believe they gave a 14 year-old an abs lol. 🤦🏻♀️ |
| Forum set + pfp by my aibou Rin. <3 |
| no way vase demon is already dead we haven't seen his backstory yet |
 |
PrimeX said: He was too based as a demon to have a backstory, it seems. ;PPno way vase demon is already dead we haven't seen his backstory yet |
| While it's not as epic of a fight as the one against Gyutaro/Daki in the previous season, the overall fight between Muichiro and Gyokko was still very well done. The negative responses to this fight seems, mostly, to be as exaggerated as ever as usual. =/ One thing that was a highlight for this in that fight was seeing Muichiro talking back at Gyokko with deadpan taunts before showcasing a creepy smile that succeeded in pissing off Gyokko even more. That moment was pretty awesome, I must say! But either way, his victory against Gyokko was well deserved and he got good closure as well. He's not in a state to fight again for a while, so he's earned his rest. As for Mitsuri, she's finally appeared again, saving Tanjiro from getting crushed from one of the dragons that swallowed him. Her athletic and flashy fighting style here as she made the dragon heads look weak was impressive. With Tanjiro taking heavy damage from being crushed as well as his eardrums already burst from earlier, this will still be a tough fight for Mitsuri to save Nezuko and Genya, as well as taking down Zohakuten. |
| gyutaro&&daki fights is more intense and epic battle !!! |
| Got a little emotional when I saw Rengoku |
 |
| Muichirou still fighting that stupid vase named Gyokko but he reveals his true form and defeats it. Another upper 5 out of the way. It was nice to see his family in his dream or however you call it. Tanjiro is still struggling with the demon Hantengu and of the dragon heads got Tanjiro swallowed up and he's about to get crushed when Mitsuri comes to the rescue and frees him from being crushed to death. As usual the CG parts were nicely done so props for that. Lets see what Mitsuri will bring on the table against the demon. |
  |
| That Upper 5 was defeated very quickly wow, I thought it would take a lot longer |
 |
| I feel like the rank 5 guy was just supposed to be comic relief lmao. He was kind of a clown and as such got clowned on pretty hard. Now maybe Mist boy is a lot stronger than Sound man but the rank 6 demon was a way better fight. Idk I mean we prob just jamming two upper 6 in one arc because the author was like "shit I gotta move this story along faster" especially considering dude killed off the entire lower 6 at the end of s1 or whenever. So yeah dude made a few too many demons and needed to churn through them quickly. Of course the 2 in this arc is going to get scuffed. |
