Can someone explain why Daki didn't die when he cut off her head, sounds a bit far fetched even for Demon Slayer logic.

Also, is it ever explained why Tanjiro is always saved/helped by ghosts?


Daki and her brother are linked since they became demons together.

About Tanjiro, us, Asians, believe that our deceased family are still watching over us and can help us in critical moments. We have many stories about deceased family members appeared in a dream to tell us about an important thing or warn us about an upcoming disaster. It is just part of our religion and belief. In a way, it is heartwarming to know that Tanjiro's family is still there and try to help him in everyway they can.

About demon magic there are very few demon arts that can be considered magic, but considering how breating styles are also magic and humans can do them... you can assume this universe has different laws


Breathing styles aren't magic. They don't actually use water or fire elements. The elements are just imagination for visual purpose. That was confirmed by the author, herself.
The breathing styles are actually pretty realistic. They are ways of breathing that can raise your focus, increase a person's physical capabilities and push them to the limit. The principles are very similar to actual martial arts like Tai Chi.
The slayers are just normal humans that can't use magic. They train their body to the level of the very best martial artists and athletes in order to keep up with the demons. Maybe that is also why we don't see older slayers, because after they passed 30, they can't keep up with the demons anymore and choose to become cultivators like Urokodaki and Zenitsu's master.

Gyutaro's voice is awesome, it's annoying and that's the point. Miyuki Sawashiro also doing amazing as Daki, that tantrum was peak. It's been a while since I've read the manga, so this is pretty exciting, looking forward to the next episode.

Good episode, the fights were still great as always.

Gyuutaro debut, one of the most interesting upper moons imo.

Nezuko controlled herself in a pretty wack way but at least she was back to normal form again

Damn. Fantastic episode again. Real upper moon six is revealed. The soundtrack is amazing as usual, especially when Gyuutaro arrived. He speaks a lot which is kinda irritating, but he actually seems stronger than Rui, who iirc was upper moon 5. Welp, can't wait for the next episode.



Rui was lower moon 5, not upper moon 5. Rui is really weak. The lower moons were weak and that was why Muzan disposed of them.


Ah yes. I forgot the entire existence of lower moons lol. Then apart from Gyuutaro, Akaza is the only known Upper Moon, ig.....

It was a decent episode but I hate how they always shoehorn a fucking comedy in the middle of a serious moment, god, this anime really suck with the timing when handling comedy, not to mention the comedy isn't even good to begin with.

At least Zenitsu is asleep because if he's awake then the comedy would be even worse.

Shitty timing with comedy on serious moments is one of the things I hate the most in animes and I wish this anime stop doing that shit because it pisses me off and ruins the moment for me.

Real Upper Six talks too much. I seriously hope Uzui doesn't end like my boy Rengoku, this show deletes characters way too fast. Great animation as always, the Nezuko fight was fucking amazing. Kind of convenient that a lullaby would calm a demon.

Gyutaro looks imbalanced, finally some challenge for Uzui. I would be surprised if the other two help him in some way because of what happened with Akaza but I'm up for surprises.

They are not realistic. Your body is limited. No matter how much focus you have you will never be able to do those things. You cannot control blood vessels have that strength resilience and so on.
Also I would say that the multiple bodies is realistic. Consider this: every being in our reality has a core. For most organisms is their heart(s) (earth worms have 5) . Demons can create copies of their core and basically be indestructible as long as a single core still exists. Now when more than 1 core exists the cores can coordinate so that each one holds a different personality but is technically the same core copied.

Is this a battle between beauty and the beast?!?!?!

Hahahaha. I never expected Daki has a brother! What a twist.

And frankly, I am loving Gyutaro! His intense hate and envy towards Tengen makes this fight more interesting. I can't stop laughing when Tengen mentioned that he has 3 wives. That surely made Gyutaro's blood boil hahahaah.

Edit: OMG! This is insane! I just found out that Ryota Osaka is Gyutaro's VA!!!! Man, that's so versatile. His voice range is so different here.

Very slow episode. tbh i definetely had my suspicions about the wrap girl being an upper moon. First we see an upper moon absolutely demolish the flame hashira and now suddenly we were to believe that Nezuko and Tanjiro "plot power friendship family" Kamado can basically kill her?
Turns out the suspicion was right and this guy seems to outclass the fancy hashira too.
Another Hashira death? Maybaps

Episode itself. Super slow. Yet again another silly "my family" flashback. So overused that it just feels like nothing at this point. Bleh. Next episode is definetely gonna be an absolute war banger.

Dont forget upper moons are much stronger than hashiras. So hashira will be defeated if fighting alone

Props to Osaka Ryota for the crazy good voice acting! I couldn't identify him when I heard the voice, that just shows how good he is at controlling his voice.
And a side note, now that I think about it he sounded like that one character from Accelerator (the brother, again) who was kinda crazy as well.

Holy hell, Nezuko was unstoppable on her busty form. Too bad after smelling blood, she couldn't focus anymore. Fortunately, flashy Hashira arrived in a perfect timing, and, well, that lullaby cleared out Nezuko transformation. For sure i am feeling sad, watching Nezuko deflated cried. Not to mention busty demon actually start crying too, throwing tantrum. Lol whats goin on with this episode. Two little sister sobbing at the same time but different circumstances...

So, thats the real upper demon reside inside the busty demon. Interesting blood art, more faster too than the flashy Hashira. Idk how much effort Tengen-sama spend against those siblings. But one thing for sure, there's the gathering....

According to the author, it takes multiple slayers or at least 3 Hashira to face an Upper Moon. Upper Moons are just that powerful. The slayers are normal humans with limits while demons literally has no limit.

Nezuko continued to beat the crap out of Daki, but eventually she lost control the moment she saw human blood. Tanjiro was struggling to restrain her as Daki was about to attack them, but Uzui made it in time to decapitate her. Seeing Daki throw a temper tantrum was really cute. She really needs a hug. When Tanjiro was able to get Nezuko under control, the real face of the Upper Six, Gyutaro finally showed to protect her little sister Daki from the Demon Slayers. No wonder the other Hashiras were killed so easily because the Upper Six are a two demon unit, so Uzui is going to need all the help from Inosuke and Zenitsu.

This is where the real fight begins.

lol That's rich coming out from Daki's mouth! Guess you could say the bully just got bullied XD If that's not karma, I don't know what that is lmao
Her temper tantrum was hillarious!

The battle couldn't be more complicated! No wonder Daki had a trump card hidden under her sleeve >_>; Now her brother is backing her up and worse, he's the real Upper Rank Demon. I am very curious to know how the Slayers and Hashira will get out from this one. I sense that this battle is going to get a lot more difficult to deal with.

Intense episode by the way. Glad Nezuko got back into her senses and Tanjiro did a great job as her big brother as always despite the big struggle ^^

Daki went from 10/10 demon to 2/10 in a single episode. Was a demeaning and interesting villain, now she's omega garbage with her silly tantrum yelling onii-chan.

Can't say I like the super CGI blood sickles either, it's super jarring when Uzui was cutting them. Obvious 3D with mostly 2D focus character and background look super terrible.

Nezuko's scene was nice but that's about it, rest of the episode was below average, barring Uzui cutting his explosives.

Omg, what an episode again!

Nezuko seemed really badass with her powers, I think there is more to that, I hope we will find answers later. But when Tanjiro remembered the lullaby and she remembered when her mother sang it.... I cried... :(

It's so great to see Uzui fighting, he's really powerful. Daki almost didn't realize she was beheaded, haha. :)
But we finally see the real enemy, Gyuutaro! When I think nothing can surprise me, they are doing it again and again! Great plot twist! I am looking forward how this will all turn out.

Every episode in S2 has comedy till now, I think it's time they stop doing that fucking comedy and get serious, hell even an anime like Naruto knows when to get serious and once they get serious they stop doing comedy but this anime can't even do that, it really pisses me off.

My god, those action sequences towards the end. So flashy~

Another nice episode but the comedy/chibi moments really ruined the mood a couple of times. I mean, some serious slaughtering is happening out there and you still add comedy to the episode? Le sigh...

That aside, Nezuko going feral was quite the sight and particularly, I really liked the short sequence with Gyuutarou coming out of Daki's back. Straight out of some animation horror movie for sure.

Also this:

So bizarre... yet so cute somehow.

Ah so now we get the real Upper Moon Six, or rather, the reveal that they are two in one. Probably going to be another twist later showing that they're ten in one or something since Daki can basically eat people with her belt. Idk. For now though, Tengen's going to have to deal with a whiny black widow slut brat and a drunk surfer dude zombie

Another boring episode. Characters, story is so bland not even Ufotable god tier animation makes it fun. It is sad Ufotable talents wasted on this series.

It is always circle backs to same troupes and cliches. Story uses it again and again and unfortunately it gets much worse in later arcs.

But it is still tremendously better than One Piece though.

No they can't, or else then it really becomes too predictable. But Uzui has help. Tanjiro is already back on his feet so he should be able to join soon, and we have full-power Inosuke and Zenitsu to help out. Zenitsu hasn't lost yet while sleeping, so we'll finally see how powerful against the moons.

So both Gyutaro and Daki are two bodies occupying the same UM6 spot? Would make sense that each alone aren't as powerful as they are together. It makes a bit more sense now that Nezuko and Tanjiro were able to curb-stomp her with power-ups.
actually Gyutaro alone is far more powerful than his sister...you can say he is the actual upper 6
