| Tanjirou chose to do the "right" thing. So in my opinion he has no right to cry after beating the demon. He doesn't deserve Nezuko to have survived. He should have tasted the consequences of his decision. Before anyone says Nezuko decided for him, I will remind you that she saw him unable to decide and made it easier on him. I understand that this is a show for a wider audience, so a happy end is the correct move. But as a person in they're early thirties, I will rate this season, with the lowest score compared to the previous seasons. This is primerily out of spite and not logical criticism, but whether it's subjective or objective, I disagree with how this season wrapped up. |
 |
| I think he deserved to cry honestly, he left his sister to presumably die just to save some random people he didn't know. I do agree though, Nezuko shouldn't have survived that. Almost objectively, this arc is worse than the other ones anyways so you shouldn't feel ashamed of ur score |

| I wasn't a fan of this season particularly because I didn't like the two main demons at all. Usually, the demons are fun to watch, but these two fell flat for me, personally. I disagree with the finale being bad though. To be honest, I think the notion of a character not being allowed to cry after doing the 'right' thing is pretty baseless. A person can cry if they choose to do their duty in spite of suffering a personal loss. It is a pretty normal and justified reaction, and I feel like this is a heavily subjective issue for you. Difference in personal values and all that. Nezuko surviving the sun was built up over time, in my opinion. While it seems like she gets a power up out of nowhere, they were slowly building up how she was inherently different from your average demon. She conquered her bloodlust in Season 1, put her life on the line in Mugen Train and fought to protect her brother in the Season 2. Not very 'demonic' of her. To each their own, I suppose. |

| He was under the impression his sister died before he found out she survived. His whole purpose was to help his sister his only family member left. He’s obviously gonna cry in that situation assuming he’d lost his sister/whole purpose left in life. I think anyone with a heart would cry in that situation. Maybe you wouldn’t but I and majority of people would |
SofiaBulga said: Tanjirou chose to do the "right" thing. So in my opinion he has no right to cry after beating the demon. If you're saying that it didn't make sense that Tanjiro cried after choosing to let Nezuko die, I disagree. You can make a decision with your "head," but that doesn't mean that your "heart" will be at complete peace with that decision. I liked that he cried despite being "right," and I believe this kind of inner conflict almost always makes for good drama and characterization. If you're saying that Nezuko shouldn't have survived this, then I agree. At least Tanjiro and Nezuko should've suffered serious consequences, or survived in some other ingenious or dramatic fashion, other than "oh, she's fine, I guess." Overall, I agree this was a very weak season, and this ending didn't come even close to Season 1 and 2's climactic moments. |

| @Phantom_Siren652 Oh come on, now you're just slinging mud. Also he didn't decide for himself, Nezuko didn't want to see big brother's pained expression and did the right thing. |

Ah yes, thinking that you’ve lost a loved one is no reason to cry, how immature of the teenager protagonist in an anime!
Get a grip dude, this is by far the absolute worst take ive ever read

| @SofiaBulga its not about me liking it and you disliking it. Sure im obviously gonna be in favour of the show more than you but its not as if im delusional to logical thinking. For example I understand that all things considered demon slayer is an incredibly basic show at its core. Im not gonna act as if its super complex. My point in that being im open to persuasion on various topics. Ultimately yes Tanjiro made the decision but if Nezuko never made the right choice chances are he would have stayed with her and let the villagers die cause mentally he was all over the place in that moment. Morally the right choice was to save the villagers but if I was him I would have saved Nezuko (But I guess im just a bad guy Lol). I do get what your saying but its not really a matter of him earing those tears or not. In that moment he assumed she was dead so of course he cried but after realising she lived it was tears of happiness. When it comes to emotional outbursts its not really a matter of whether or not they get earned or not |

Bro this anime is carried by the animation, you’re hella late to the party if you think we watch this for the story, so stop complaining about it. You’re too old to be a critic who thinks ‘consequences’ are the only valid storytelling choice.
| @INTJ_Ren Actually ‘consequences’ are the only valid storytelling choice. is exactly why it's a valid criticism. |

| @Phantom_Siren652 Fair, I did say I'd score the show low out of spite and not any logical reason. But in the case of the tears thing, personally I think if Nezuko had died, the tears would have actually meant something, since she survived, the tears didn't carry any weight. |

| @NegativeRei Exactly, lol. He can hunt demons, he can have life experience bigger than many adults, he can have a dramatic past, but at the end of the day, he's just a teenager. A boy who is growing up and who tries his best to take care of his sister, the last family member he has. It's normal that he would have doubts or cry during the moment from ep. 11. A lot of adults would've acted in a similar way as well. It's unfair to expect Tanjiro to be more rational and composed than a typical grown-up. And let's not forget it's a shounen series. Its target demographic is teenage boys. Tanjiro is relatable to them, since apart from having superpowers, he acts like a typical teenager (even if this show's action is taking place during the Taisho period, emotions, their expression, and adolescence are not that much different at their core from modern times). |

| @Heathcliff_711 Yeah, that was one of the weirdest elements of this arc, lol. I get that Tanjiro is talented, that it's a shounen series and bizarre things can happen, but Tanjiro using Zenitsu's technique like this, as if he learned it in a second and more or less mastered it to a decent level (which he probably did, actually), was perhaps one of the dumbest moments during the Swordsmith Village arc. But let's not be too harsh towards it or overthink the whole situation. After all, it's nothing compared to Inosuke's ability to move his internal organs at will. ;D |

| All I can say is that Nezuko's survival is independent of Tanjiro's character curve. She is a McGuffin for Muzan. An immunity to the sun will just draw his attention and accelerate the plot for the author. |

| @SofiaBulga I usually score shows on just if they grabbed my attention and I enjoyed them a ton but I use logic here and there. But I mean rn im in a pretty bad anime slump rn so my scores probably wouldn't be too logical Yeah I understand the idea of them not carrying much weight considering she survived. Tbh it would have been an interesting dynamic to see Nezuko die and how Tanjiro would adapt to fighting without her. |
| Making this thread proves you're eternally 23 complaining about plot that makes sense. Of course you have to save normal people when you have superhero powers, this is the rule of capes and supes. She was basically dead from the start of that demon attack, everything else has been gifted time. Love this series. Also why can't you cry over almost losing your sister which was the reason for your existence after your entire family got slaughtered? Like what? It's femme shounen, it's going to have crying, it's basically CLAMP shounen, it's shoujo all the way. Yet dudes are constantly surprised it's popular. Dudes always surprised females like their own content and want some. |
| It's stupid if you think that way. Tanjiro couldn't decide means he wanted save Nezuko too. He was not ready to see her die. Why do you not expect him to cry? This is a dumb thing to point out. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| I feel like your complaint doesn't have anything to do with your old age, more like it has something to do with your family bond. Either you just want to complain publicly about part you personally don't like or you're trying to bait. I don't know why you're expecting a 15yo boy who loves his sister dearly not to cry after making such difficult decision |

When Nezuko forcibly shoved Tsnjiro away, it became clear that Nezuko is doomed, so it's either both Nezuko and Swordsmiths die or only Nezuko. Imagine not understanding something as simple as Demon Slayer. |
