| Aww, I was hoping they'd update the ending credits to include Yuichiro now that Muichiro's amnesia has cleared up. I love it when an OP/ED will do things like that. |
 |
| ok 2 things 1) Literally caught me off guard when I saw Muichirou had a twin brother like out of everything I did not expect that to appear out of nowhere but i still enjoyed it. 2) bro that demon that showed up randomly legit scared me. It was deathly quiet while the 2 brothers were staring at each other and then completely out of nowhere it cuts to a tall man standing there. Seriously i dont think i jumped liked that at all while watching this series until now. but again i loved it and the backstory was fun and interesting to watch. thats about it i really liked this episode and it showed a better side of Muichirou compared to how he acted at the beginning of this season. I honestly hated him at first but these past couple episodes made me start to like him as a character now. anyways this ep is a 10/10 once again |
My Candys!     |
Punkerror said: Since your comment contains spoiler I deleted part of itVentus_S said: The flashback itself is good but the way the author insert the flashback is horrendous and repetitive, and UFO makes no attempt to fix the pacing issue at all. It's basically always the same: OH NO I CAN'T MAKE IT -> DEJAVU -> everything super slow motion -> 10+ mins flashback -> POWER UPPPP Can you believe in a spam of 3 episodes they already repeat the same process twice? Also my prediction is right, Demon Slayer is basically just Fairy Tail now. All the damage/ poison suffered don't matter, after the flashback = power up + all wound healed, all status effect healed, damage/ speed 300% boost. Another thing I'm disappointed about is how unimportant Mitsuru is in the whole arc. She fought some random trash mobs and then her functionality is done. I thought they bring 2 Hashiras in this arc to not make a mockery of Upper Moons, but turns out these upper moons cant even fight 1 Hashira or 2 none Hashiras properly. And apparently 100+ years no Hashiras have ever defeated them, hmmm. If they dont want to make Upper Moon like a joke, why not Utilize Mitsuru to make her do something more instead of just for fan service? This mf always talking bullshit. 1. I was discussing about the content of ep8 itself but instead of retaliating my point, he result to personally calling me out to attack. 2. A lot of people have the same feedback as me for this episode regarding to pacing and backstory but they're lazy so they only leave 1 sentence and I don't see you name calling to attack, so giving full detail of constructive critism will get you attacked by Demon Cryers man-child fanbase. 3. Using a new account to shit talking other (account created April 2023 just to shit talk other, see what I'm talking about? Ep6 of Oshi no Ko taught us well. 4. Spoiler w.o spoiler tag 5. I'm not going to waste time on you given that you can't even use your real account to do the shit talking and these posts going to be deleted soon. Mal clowns usually own multiple accounts to do the shit talking and use it to bloat up their favorite anime's score and rate down their hated show. I've seen way too many. |
| The meaning of Mu stuff was pretty cool. As a practitioner of Zen, I can confirm that Mu is chanted (internally) during Zazen. Takuan Sōhō once said: "The mind must always be in the state of 'flowing,' for when it stops anywhere that means the flow is interrupted and it is this interruption that is injurious to the well-being of the mind. In the case of the swordsman, it means death. When the swordsman stands against his opponent, he is not to think of the opponent, nor of himself, nor of his enemy's sword movements. He just stands there with his sword which, regardless of all technique, is ready only to follow the dictates of the subconscious. The man has effaced himself as the wielder of the sword. When he strikes, it is not the man but the sword in the hand of the man's subconscious that strikes." |
| Muichiro remembers his past at last. Mu stands for Mugen. Atarimae no koto datta. That pot demon is still pissed over Hotaru's determination. But, at least he's focussing on Muichiro, so Hotaru can get back to polishing the sword. |
 |
| nice! Muichirou flexing so much! it was satisfying! 5/5. |
 |
| pretty epic episode ngl sad backstory nice |
 |
| Wow of course Muichirou has a sad backstory but it well done, he lost his mother father and twin brother... it was even sadder when he realized how much his twin brother cared for him in the end :( |
 |
| I must admit this episode was awesome. I can't believe they gave Muichirou this level of writing. |
| A lot of their backstories were heartbreaking but I feel like Muichirou's was one of the saddest ones. |
| 臭い- |
Uguu_Tsukimiya said: I must admit this episode was awesome. I can't believe they gave Muichirou this level of writing. Well he is a Hashira who is related to the oruginal breather and our main character so.... |
| I like muichiro a lot as a character. As a fellow head trauma victim, his behaviour, and mood are very beleivable, and relatable. And we don't get represented a lot in media. Seeing how gentle and kind he was as a child made me very happy, as modern him some how usurped some of his brothers brazen personality with out even knowing it. But he is slowly becoming him self again, you can see he's more caring and compassionate each passing episode since meeting Tanjiro/remembering his father. His mist mark was the most fascinating development. I see Muichiro as an equal to Tanjiro's legacy he'll be reaching now. It's like being given a second main character, so exciting! My only question now is.. do these marks develop on anyone, or just those who are part of a rare family lineage? Can't wait to see more, please no one (but upper moons) die. :'( |

| 24 minute episode = 3 minute episode while watching this !! every episode of kimetsu no yaiba always like this !!! |
| Just like with Genya's backstory a few episodes ago, Muichiro's backstory was one filled with sadness and bloodshed. Losing his mother to illness and his father, who died after trying in vain to get herbs during a rainstorm, all that was left was Muichiro and his twin brother, Yuichiro. Seeing their lack of interactions without it being filled with tension, anger and sadness was rather disheartening. To add to that, a demon visited the pair in the middle of a summer night and Yuichiro sacrificed himself to protect Muichiro, who lost all sanity at that moment and butchered the demon outside, so that it would die when the sun rose up. A tragic backstory might be a common theme with Demon Slayer, but it was well done and made me sympathise with Muichiro a lot. Thanks to him finally touching on that past, he was able to fight on and rescued Kotetsu from the mustached CGI fish mob. After that, he went to Gyokko, where the cocky demon went a bit berserk when things wren't going his way. Haganezuka, on the other hand, just kept on focusing on making the perfect sword, even though he now has lost his left eye and even after being blown out of the shack after Gyokko unleashed his tentacle attack on everyone. Brave and reckless, sure, but I have some mad respect for him right now! =) The last few minutes of the episode was another treat of beautiful sakuga animation, with Muichiro, now wielding his brand new sword courtesy of his swordsmith, his mist breathing: fifth form attack looked insane and, finally, started to do some good damage against Gyokko. I have hope that Muichiro will win this fight in the next episode! |
| All these backstories are very similar aren't they |
 |
| Muichiro reminds me of Fubuki from Inazuma eleven :D (An extremely under rated anime) |
 |
pastuch said: They mentioned in season 1 that only those who lost their families because of demons or comes from a swordsman family has the resolve and motivation to harness their skills. So it makes sense that the Hashiras have sad backstories.Every second character in this anime has the same exact backstory, how am I supposed to care anymore? At least it's still an eye candy though |
 |
| Well if that's the case then yes it does make sense and so be it. I think it's just adds up to all the other arguments that the writing in this show is really lazy. That's one convenient plot armor. |
| This was episode 8. 3 more to go (11 in total). Also last episode will most probably be longer. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
