Muichiro’s story was so sad but I’m glad he finally has his memory back and can remember what he’s fighting for.

Gyokko was a massive disappointment! Gyutaro was WAY stronger than him! Actually I’d even say that Enmu was a tougher opponent than him.

Hantengu is so far beyond awesome though; I really don’t know how they’re going to beat him 😱

Seriously, what a let down. After that high of a stakes last season, one could've expect an upper-ranking Demon VS a fairly young Hashira would be atleast resulting in a serious battle. But not only have they killed any momentum by cramming two uper-demon vs two Hashira at once, they're also failed at creating a compelling character to be invested in.

Muichiro is just an edgy kid who's trying so hard to be deep. And the worst part is, there's not a single hint of self awareness or originality in his writing, or in any of his dialogue. I understand if he meant to appear isolated from the world, but at least you can make his appearance look cool, or any of his movesets be thematically unique. Not just speed for the sake of speed, invincibility for the sake of invincibility.

Then we arrive at the rock bottom, the rank five of Upper demon, Gyokko. Now tell me, who in their right mind would believe this Pisces of shit can even beat the duo Daki and Gyutaro from the last season? So then what?! What is the meaning of his higher ranking if he can't deliver a higher struggle? Yes, he's extremely underestimating Muichiro for his age, but with how long he has lived as a higher ranking Demon, one could expect that he's also capable of assessing the battlefield properly. Given how many instances Muichiro is able to actually hurt him, it's too stupid how he doesn't immediately take things seriously!

Considering how high they've raised the stake of the last season, saying that "it had been a hundred years since an Upper-rank has been killed..", and now they just scrapped one of those that easily?. Is this a statement of stupidity?

Yep, very convenient anime moves in this episode. I feel very dumb watching this. At this point ufotable is only caring about making money, OR, the manga is poorly written and they decided to adapt everything. In either paths, it's a 1/10 for me.

I consider this arc to be the worst in terms of writing, but even putting personal preferences aside, technically speaking this arc was that much underwhelming in the manga. Ufotable decided to adapt it faithfully, will all pros and cons offered by the source material.

That's why I get why many fans are dissatisfied with this arc. It had potential, but the final effect was far from good. If the next arcs are to be adapted faithfully (and most likely we can expect such treatment to happen), they will be more entertaining to watch in the anime format than Swordsmith Village arc.

I cant believe tokito defeated that upper rank that easily and depression was going to beat him just as easily before.

SPOILERS!!
The episode consisteted of Muichiro Vs Gyokko and some mitsuri bitching upper 4. Muichiro Vs Gyokko fight was really well animated and a common misconception floating around is that it was a let down for Upper 5. If you truly watched the previous episodes, you should understand the strength of the demon slayer mark, and shit Muichiro had to go through to get it, it seems fair to me. I mean even fucking tanjiro chopped of Upper 6's head when he was getting shit on by Rui the previous season. Muichiro definitly isn't my favorite hashira but that fight was badass. He has such a cold personality towards Gyokko and it was entertaining to watch. Second half is tanjiro, nezuko and Genya get destroyed by the combined clone creature. This was actually when we got to see some of Mitsuri's true strength and her display of skill shows that she isn't some random side charecter for fan server and she provides some important role. Im looking forward to mitsuri vs hantengu next episode and this fight might be even better than gyokko vs muichiro but I wouldn't count on it since that shit was so well animated.

Gyokko left but ruled very well, Muichiro didn't even sweat if it wasn't because he was like Swiss cheese from the last cap, and we'll have to wait to see Mitsuri do the 1v1 for him in the cap that comes to the growing 4. By the way, the Genya's power has to do with her eating parts of some demon and getting part of their powers, I guess she can do it with wood or not?

Love that our queen is finally back in the game. This looks like it's going to be an epic fight.

Upper 5 was annoying, but myst boy beat the shit out of him... all while throwing mad shade.

Enjoyed it

Scoring this a 5/5 for slapping an end credits on my face again, just when it was getting good.
But I understand why they had to stretch every episode so much, the arc itself is pretty short.

Muichiro wasn't taking any bullshit lol, gotta love when someone gets tired of listening to stupid shit and just goes for the kill

Tanjiro as usual... we saw his feet breaking (or whatever happened) but he managed to keep running, i don't know ...

Mitsuri sure got me hyped, if for some reason her other scenes this season were not already enough, this last minute entrance sure did it, i'm a fan now lol

pfffft, that after credits, reminding us that a season without Zenitsu screaming, is at least a better season :D

Not so bad the Muichiro' climax. All theses bads demons lives too much at the screen lol.
With his background, he gives me some vibes to like him. Not really a extravagant personality, a lazy voice but a good heart and want to support everyone.
I like the fog animation. Now it is the Mitsuri' part.
Good idea to reuse the ending from Millet x Man with a Mission at the end of this episode

3/5

Loved the fight sequences in this episode, Muichiro finally defeated the Upper 5 and now that Mitsuri is going to join the fight, it is going to get more interesting to see whether she is able to defeat the Upper 4 or not because in my opinion,

Muichiro is more stronger than Mitsuri and even he was not in good shape after defeating Upper 5. So, I really doubt that Mitsuri would be able to defeat Upper 4 by herself.

That villain upper four guy or whatever really pisses me off. I hate it when villains act so cocky. And that humor... So bad

But the love hashira is here again. The second part with Tanjiro and Love Hashira was great

At least we had a lot of well animated scenes with Gyokko. Not only his fight looked decent, but also other bit, less filled with action, presented very high quality.

very cool fight, really enjyoed the demons power and interesting to see the mist hashira in action, i dont think the demon was weaker then upper 6 as most have said i just think they way he acts and his hubris is what led to him dying, in practice his blood demon art is so powerful

Cool end to the first fight, Muichiro is very strong, and the final form of that bloke was cool as hell honestly. Also very interested to see Tanjiro finally get his new sword and use Rengoku's hilt!!!!

Mitsuri showing up at the end was cool, the animation on her whip is cool. I hope Tanjiro isn't on the sidelines for the rest of this fight though!

Well, i hope it gets better. thanks for the perspective as a manga reader, it's always good to have it.

This episode left me with a scary feeling for the next few episodes and the season as a whole, like that animation of the story may not bring it to life :(

I read the manga so I expected that the animation of Muichiro’s fight scenes would be very exciting in ways that comic panels cannot express… but that wasn’t really the case in my opinion… (by no fault of the animators, they do everything to the T, its the manga/writing that is lacking)

BUT Mitsuri is finally back and Ive been STARVING all season so maybe everything will turn out for the better !!!
