| Tanjiro sure is lucky. Dude wanted a sword and went to the village of swordsmiths itself for that very purpose, and look there is one right before him now, an antique piece, 300 years old. Though it was rusty, but hey these kinds of inconveniences are nothing in front of his charms. That one annoying swordsmith of his appeared and assured him of forging this rusty sword into a brand new one. How convenient. Also if I may, I can tell why Genya’s always so annoyed with you Tanjiro. I mean anyone would be with your constant chirping and that inability of reading the room. Just leave people in peace for goodness sake. Though the peaceful moments don’t last long in this series, and so it happened, with the arrival of Gyokko and Hantengu in the village out of absolutely nowhere. Moreover it was Hantengu who stirred up the peace in some fashion. Knocking down Muichiro some kilometres away, and giving hell to Tanjiro. Even slashing his neck was nowhere near to take him down, heck he got regenerated in an instant and that too with his doubles. Muichiro at one end and Tanjiro and Co. at other, up against two upper moons. Shit has hit the fan. |

| Nezuko is the most adorable. Carried the episode for me, personally. Other than that, it was nice to see things finally picking up pace with all the demons coming out and causing some disturbance in the air. The demons are not to be taken lightly and they learned about it quickly. Bakugou Boy using guns was cool to see. But, they keep multiplying which is a big problem. Pretty good episode but it definitely picked up in the final stretch of the episode. |

| To those who were complaining about nothing happening in the first TWO episodes of the season, here ya go, something happened. Oh boy, we finally got the Gyokko SLORRP scene animated. And no, I didn't just make that up, if you go to the page where that happens in the manga, the sound effect when the dude gets sucked into the vase literally says "SLORRP" LMFAOOOO. Glad they left that uncensored. Hantengu confronting Tanjiro and Tokito was cool, I like how they're animating Tokito's Mist Breathing. This demon is going to be a problem since he can just multiply after getting his head cut off. The boy Genya said "sure they're demons but they ain't bulletproof" and pulled up with the blicky. Our heroes are struggling right now but then again, these are Upper Moons after all. And they haven't even had to also deal with Gyokko yet, so there's even more on their plate that they'll have to deal with. |
| 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. |
| Wow they are actually going pretty fast with the adaptation. Mist breathing looks gorgeous as expected, I knew Ufo wouldn’t disappoint (although the CGI fish was def something lol). Haganezuka’s HUGE lmao. I’m so gay. He got thay body jesus christ. Also Gyokko’s quite the twisted moon, dismembering the corpses just like that… ugh. Genya’s also here to help, excited to see more of him! I love Hantengu so much  |
| Wow, Hantengu is awesome. Adaptation is really fast. How do you like the new series? |

| I had a feeling it that Hantengu's clones are going to have their own voice actors. Turns out I'm right. Sekido : Yuichiro Umehara (Weather Report) Karaku : Kaito Ishikawa (Genos) Urogi : Shunsuke Takeuchi (Einar) Aizetsu : Soma Saito (Doppio) & well known voices too at that. Ufotable really be doing their finest work with DS. I do have one criticism. Amount of slow motion shots were off-putting to me. I hope they use it less in the next episodes. |

| Swole Haganezuka casually coming out of the woods is hilarious. The upper moon fights are finally starting with Hantengu. It was pretty creepy how Hantengu just decided to crawl on in without warning. Tanjiro having to face another upper moon with multiple bodies. Genya pulling up with the 2nd Amendment breathing  Can't wait for Mitsuri to show up and start fighting. |
 |
| Oh.. the demons and the demon slayers have arrived and the later 9 episodes are all going to be filled with action. Can't wait to see the flawless animation of ufotable and the amazing fight sequences. Genya's Demon eating ability was also revealed. |

| Why this season the 'jokes' are so over the top and all the time? Its not funny if every scene is the same thing... |
| I'm speechless The Mist Hashira's movements are gorgeous as hell |
| Humility is good and all but at times it's also polite to take whats been given as well. I'll be terrified if such a muscle bound man appeared out of nowhere. Genya's just too hot headed to see reason. Looks like the threat to the village just showed themselves. Tokito sure has a unique way of waking someone. Nezuko's motions as she woke up was adorable. So every time you behead it it multiplies, neat trick. The upper rank demons this time look pretty tricky to deal with this time round given that it can multiply itself with each being having unique powers as well. |

| Seems like Tanjiro's words breathed some life into Muichiro, who looked kind of dead inside until now. Mist Breathing is interesting and looks similar to Water Breathing. We're only three episodes in and two Upper Rank demons are already showing up. Feels like it will be tougher for the demon slayers this time. I wonder how that 300 year old sword will come into play and if it'll be a key for Tanjiro to take his Hinokami Kagura to the next level. |
| the battle begins i think i remember when reading the manga that its all fight from here on out again |
Blue_Core said: to be honest I was a bit disappointed when they introduced him at first (it didn't look charismatic or appealing compared to Upper 3, 2 and 1 ) but right now, DAMN! I had a feeling it that Hantengu's clones are going to have their own voice actors. Turns out I'm right.

| This is not good. Having tow those upper moons at the sword village is bad. Should they destroy it and all the black smith sword makers then it is impossible to fight against demons because without those swords breathing techniques would be useless. Anyways. The freaking Upper 4 and 5. The upper 4. Oh freaking dear me. That guy is splitting every time his head is cut or even destroyed, which also means that the head is not his vital point. Oh dear. |
| Genya went full Doomguy. |
| "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." |
| The action is picking up much quicker then the previous season and this is going to last long enough. The animation was top notch as usual and this makes me believe more and more that the later fights in this arc and the next one are going to be legendary. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Finally the main dish begins: the battle versus the two demons. Looking good the Mist breathing technique … i think that in this arc there will be swordsmen who overshadow Tanjiro… |
 |
| I doubt Genyas dead or out of commission already but damn dude sure took a punch (stab) ... wonder how it'll work out from here on. Fighting two UR even with two Hashiras is gonna be painfully hard. Inosuke and Zenitsu are really missed, they'd be vital support on this mission. :( |
 |
| There certainly were some funny aspects to this episode. Tanjiro found the sword but an swordsman comes out of the woods and wants to take it with him and now they have a back and forth until someone shows up and tickles the guy lmao. As usual Genya still hates Tanjiro for breaking his arm, yikes. Tanjiro and Nezuko have some nice time together as well. Tokitou sneaks inside in the middle of the night without Tanjiro even knowing it, talk about talent. Hantengu shows up at the door step and they both didn't even notice it, they defeat him but that's what they think, he then transforms into 2 bodies, bruh. Tokitou gets blasted away like crazy by the demon. Tanjirou & Nezuko are having an epic fight but then Genya shows up and blasts the head off of those 2 demons but that won't help since they formed new bodies yet again, now there are 4 bodies but Tanjiro doesn't notice it and gets dragged by an demon that can fly while he sees Genya getting stabbed in the stomach. Tanjiro manages to get free from the demon bird but is in heavy pain, meanwhile Tokitou tries his best to go back and protect the village but sees a kid struggling with a demon, he then remembers what Tanjiro says and he helps the kid out, good job. Intense & Funny episode for sure.  |
  |
| wow, a lot happened but i hate having to wait to see how this fight ends. the swordsmith village is in big trouble and i really like this new guy, glad he decided to save the kid. |
 |
| shit comedy again |
"Without commitment, we will never start. Without dicipline and consistency, we will never finish." |
| things just got very interesting can't wait to see more of ufotables animated fight scenes |
 |
| I always liked Genya's American Breathing Style. Tanjiro noted, that his sawn-off shotgun smells like Nichirin Blade, so It seems like those swordsmiths are also gunsmiths. Pretty cool, how each of Hantengu clones has their own voice actor, because all of them have different personality. Fish Demon was obviously CG, but what can you do? It still looked acceptable. |

| Where's Kanroji 😭 |
| Why do people here think the Fish was bad CGI, wtf? LMAO |
| 死だけが確実 |
| They really got us with nezuku's cuteness to hit us with some cool asf action. Shit hit da fan pretty quick. Loving it tho |
