| i dont understand what Nezuko has that allows her to survive the sun maybe there was a hint at some point in the story? if there was a reason i didnt get it, once again the fight was underwhelming, upper moon 4 spends most of the time just running away, that is boring anyways i think most people agree that this arc is inferior to previous ones, lame villains an new characters that are uninteresting, average fights that are well animated but arent particularly impressive, it had amazing visuals as usuals but that can only carry a show so much 5/10 |

| A nice and thick final episode, and damn it really benefited from it. From the final battle with Hantengu to the moment Nezuko conquered the sun, an absolutely tasty episode, of course the art and animation was awesome too but that goes without saying lol. I did see Nezuko surviving coming but man the way they did it was so awesome, perfectly timed and the music really helped make the scene. And now Muzan is a happy camper since Nezuko has leveled up, so happy that he casually ended those maids, I felt bad for them but at least they were quick deaths. And I’m ngl Muzan’s backstory was a little underwhelming, but at least now we know how demon Michael Jackson got his start. And the last scene before the credits rolled where the villagers celebrated Tanjiro was really nice, and almost like a farewell to the season itself which I really enjoyed. And with that we’ve reached the end of another season of Demon Slayer, it had some issues but this is another one of those times where I’m so glad to be a fan of this series, it gets a good amount of hate but I will happily say I love this series which is a sentiment a good friend of mine shares as well, he’s also a big fan of Dr. Stone like me so you know we were both eating good this spring season lol. But now they’re both sadly over, I really hope they can air in the same season for a 3rd time in the future, but I’m not sure if we’re that lucky lol. But man, it’s time to say goodbye to Demon Slayer once again, I really look forward to the next season! And as a final note, I think this season has the best OP in the series so far, you just can’t beat Man with a Mission! |

It’s not the best but I drew this, one of my favourite parts of this episode!  |
| The chase for Hantengu is making Tanjiro's execution harder than most, and they don't have much time, for daybreak is coming soon, and even Kanroji is on her limits facing Zohakuten. Still, with an injured body, Tanjiro has to surpass his limits, and with the help of Genya and Nezuko, deal the final blow...which still doesn't execute Hantengu. But there is hope, with Haganezuka's refined sword up...till the 1st stage, and this is enough to behead the Upper Rank 4...if Hantengu wasn't killed the wrong way. And with the moment of daybreak, Nezuko burns at the sight of the sun, though Tanjiro has many situations that he can only make the right call for only one choice, which Nezuko gave him the boot and the extra fight to kill Hantengu through his heart. Tanjiro thinking that he'd come this far just to lose his sister, Nezuko is actually fine, and even able to greet him herself, to the sigh of his relief. Muzan, never thought that a demon could survive the sun, this is something that not even the 12 Kizuki has a trait of. His past self, turned into a demon from a generous doctor back in the Heian era, he could crave human flesh and blood like a demon, but could not withstand the sun, to greater power. The Blue Spider Lily which is detrimental to the cultivation of power that Muzan so longed to become immortal, it's all within Nezuko. But that all pales in comparison to everyone being safe and sound, including Kanroji, and it turns out that Nezuko's blood was a major transformation and transfiguration when it comes to managing her human and demon side that sparks new development of Nezuko being the ultimate demon. Tanjiro owing an amount of debt to Haganezuka, and Kotetsu just has to curse himself again for the latter being embarrassed to see him off as the siblings leave the Swordsmith Village with the praises of its people. For the first time, the Swordsmith Village can be seen, and this is for the gratitude and victory that he has brought to the village. A resounding victory as always, and the Hashira Training mini-arc is next. |

| Can't believe this season ending was even worse than last season. Seems like the anime has gone to shit. |
| Alright so this season feels slow and boring, but this one episode clears the entire season. Damn that Nezuko moment... Hits hard... I'm so glad i watch this at Dawn. |
 |
| well, thank god nezuko conquered the sun, because if you were gonna tell me that i had to sit through this whole season of trash just to lose nezuko in the end, i would flip. would've been an immediate 1/10. anyways, this was by far the best episode, just a shame i had to wait this long. and to think that the most tension created this season wasn't by any of the demons or upper-moons, but by the sun. kinda underwhelming for mitsuri having to be saved as well, i mean she's a hashira. but ay, booba i guess. i liked this last episode but despite that, i'm sticking with this being a 4/10. almost everything else this season, i disliked, felt like a real chore. worst season by far and for it to happen straight after the entertainment district arc, which i really liked. also, muzan jackson has his sights set on nezuko now so i guess we'll be seeing more of him later. new season has been announced already, seems to be the hashira training arc and i can only hope it gets better! |

| So Nezuko is now a day walker. I never saw that coming. I knew the show could not go on without Nezuko, but I thought someone would protect or cover her from the Sun in time. So that was quite a surprise! However she is now in grave danger. Somehow Muzan Kibutsuji got wind of it despite Nezuko walking in the Sun after his second upper rank demon died. He looked like he could glimpse her from afar. It was nice to finally see Muzan's backstory too. In the next season I suppose he will send No3 (Akaza) and No2 (Douma) after her, perhaps along with No1 - who appears to be the original Demon Slayer, the one that mighty sword used to belong to. We all know Muzan would never risk his own neck, since he is a coward. Great season overall, I rate it 9/10 😊 p.s. As for the timing of Nezuko's evolution to a day walker I posit that it was not coincidental. While that researcher lady predicted she might soon conquer the Sun at first she started burning. The only thing that changed after that was her self-sacrifice: she broke Tanjiro's dilemma about who to save by kicking him toward the humans. With her willingness to sacrifice herself to save three humans perhaps her humanity outshined her demonic traits and so her evolution was accelerated. |

Conflicted about this season because I found the first half of the season overall to not be that great. Lots of exposition and when the fighting started I didn't care much for the Mist Hashira and his fight. Also really missed Zenitsu and Inosuke. It just felt like the team chemistry was missing with them not there. They also really held back on the Ho-shira until the final 3-4 episodes, but once she got involved it was great and also the final episode is probably my favorite ending of any of the seasons so far. Overall I suppose that ending saved it for me. |

| Well trying to be as constructive as possible but this was definitely the weakest arc to be adapted. The villains haven't been given enough depth and development. The overall plot structure is becoming predictable and repetitive. Also, it's a bit disappointing that the villains haven't achieved any significant victories so far, making the main villain and his henchmen seem weak and unimpressive. Upon reflection, I realized that the conclusion of the story left me somewhat unsatisfied. It would have been great to have a final interaction with Mitsuri, Muichiro, and Genya as Tanjiro was departing, allowing us to understand their current thoughts and future aspirations. |
| Good season! Not my favourite but still great. Upper ranks 4 and 5 sucked imo as villains. I had no interest in them, both were so annoying. 1-3 on the other hand are awesome in their own ways, I’m hype for future seasons. Deffs a lot of plot convenience and timely powerups this season, but I didn’t necessarily mind it. I did think Nezuko’s sudden immunity to the sun was a bit toooo convenient, but now it makes for an awesome plot since Muzan is coming after them. Muzan turning into a demon originally from ingesting some random medicine with blood was a bit odd. |

| I had no idea this was an hour long what an absolute treat aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanh! |
Shinuki_n_Reborn said: Can't argue with that logic.CrimsonWanderer said: It's almost like her not being affected by the sun is a totally planned thing and directly tied to the whole main plot and main villain of the story, this isn't plot hole or plot armor, it's a plot twist that will move the story to it's finale.Consequences? in my Demon Slayer? What's that? oh nah bro, we don't do that here, your sister that was literally melting by sunlight? nevermind that, she's fine now bro, look, she doesn't even have a scratch or anything, and she can talk too, ain't that nice? |

i am an impatient person, so i decided to read ahead in the manga, for the first time, just to see what happened. This moment in the manga left me speechless  i cried tears of joy, that's how impactful this scene was. |
| Definitely the best episode of the series for me. |

| With the beheading of the upper four and Nezuko successfully surviving under the Sun, the final battle of this season ends. Though the enlargement of the upper four's main body was not something I expected. And while the whole Swordsmith's Village in rehabilitating, Tanjiro leaves to head for another mission and now is one step closer to slay Muzan. This season's animation was excellent as always though the CGI they used was not still, it was far better than Ex Arm. Personally I didn't like this season as much as the second season as after the release of every episode, I was waiting for a climactic fight but it never happened like Tengen vs Gyutaro in second season. Now this point is very biased and you may not agree with it, but the side cast of this season was not so good, I liked Tengen as the side character but not Muichiro and Mitsuri so much. So, it's a 5/10 for me. |
| Nezuko and Tanjiro's bond is really able to be the daylight. So cute. I'm stoked to see how this journey will lead us next. Also shout out to manga readers who get to enjoy the beautiful art and story in the way it was originally supposed to be consumed. |
| Nezuko is now able to conquer the sun LETS GO!!! Also take a sip everytime everyone says "Thank Goodness" lmao |
| Wow, what an astounding episode. The animation was breathtaking, the music was moving, and the climax was immensely satisfying. Nezuko decides to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the lives of others are saved. I think this act is what allowed her to overcome the sun. I can't say for sure since I've not read the manga this far, but it's just my theory. The story has always alluded that she's so much different than any demon, even the Twelve Kizuki. Even looking at her Demon Art, a fire that only hurts demons. And now she can live in the sun. Such an exciting development. The moment it was revealed that she was alive was awe-inspiring, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. However, my enjoyment was dampered a little due to the fact that I knew Nezuko wasn't going to die, she's an integral part of the story, so I knew she would somehow be alright. The way it was revealed was beautiful enough that it was still an immensely powerful moment. Especially when she started talking. This whole reveal has really pushed the plot forward like nothing before it. Despite an incredible finale, this season definitely had its ups and downs. The constant flashbacks, keeping the story from moving forward was starting to be grating, making a great show a slog to get through. At least we got some great new additions of the cast. Mitsuri is an angel, and such a great older sibling to Tanjiro and Nezuko. And Genya really turned himself around in my eyes, he's a really good guy. I was confused on how the hell he temporarily turned into a demon, and I guess they didn't want to explain it? Of course, Nezuko's new transformation is something that's still at the forefront of my mind after this. Seeing her conquer the sun and actually speak is a moment I won't soon forget. Even during rougher periods, Demon Slayer is still the premiere anime series to watch. Its style is gorgeous, the action is jaw dropping, and most importantly, it's got so much heart. Definitely not the best season with the painful amount of flashbacks, and the finale definitely helped it out a lot, but I still really enjoyed my time with this. I really can't wait to see where we go from here, it feels like everything has changed. The next chapter of Tanjiro and Nezuko's story can't come soon enough. 8/10. |
