I must admit that I didn't like Daki to become a damsel in distress type. I like her being a prideful and strong beastly psycho demon lady whow don't need no help.
Her brother struck me as what Zenitsu would be if he ever became a demon.

Daki freaking out is much better portrayed in animated media and her VA did it very good. Hilarious how Daki fell from Upper Moon to crybaby in this arc.

Her brother is so scary though, next episode should be really tense.

I liked Nezuko's turning into Hulk with a proud bosom and tattoo's, against such opponents she is a good additional help, but she must train evasion someday.
Her blood art is cool though.

Definitely the best episode of the season thus far but it still doesn’t justify the super inflated 8.75 rating holy moly. Animation is top tier in KnY after all. Plot is still good but not that good.

Loved the parallels between Daki and Gyutaro against Tanjiro and Nezuko. An older sibling coming to save their brother or sister in a time of need.

Would definitely not mind seeing more demonic Nezuko in the future, as long as she gets her powers under control. Training arc, anyone?

Also, I wonder if Nezuko will start speaking now that her muzzle is gone. That would be nice, though at the same time communicating through grunting has kind of become her thing.

Wow Nezuko is just out of control. I do admit that her stomping on Daki is a fucking satisfying watch, but she's now at the point of eating humans, which is not good. I do admit that I almost cried when Tanjiro and her mom was singing a lullaby, how it hurts is something I can't fathom. But hey atleast she's under control now.

Okay ayo Daki going on that tantrum was somehow funny and definitely not annoying to me. But the reveal where she is actually just a foil for Gyutaro is impressive. An Upper Demon with two entities, oh boy we have a battle!!!

This episode has the worst of KnY's comedic timings from what I've seen as it interjects emotional or serious situations. Other than that, everything else was great as always.

Very good battle scenes, animation and story.

And very bad comedy as usual, reminds me of Hellsing, not sure which one has worse comedy moments.

If you genuinely think this why the fuck are you still watching this far into the story ? Anime fans are legit the only audience that loves to torture themselves watching things they hate and then keep complaining about it over and over again spoiling other people's fun in the process. Like literally if you think it's that bad just stop watching it. Demon Slayer is not intended to be high cinema, high art, it's literally just a fun shounen for teenagers.

Damn poor Daki but I wouldn't feel bad for her why is she playing the victim now

Nezuko enraged is one of the strongest she's been yet and noted to not go up against, Well who wouldn't want to protect that precious sweetheart I mean just look at her even going back from the past that little Nezuko is so cute even today with her shapeshifting form

Oh great another Demon arises from inside kind of hilarious how much of a cry baby Daki is and Gyutaro standing up for his little sister I guess, Kind of reminds me of a familiar sibling that's so close to these two.

Goated episode as usual.

Nezuko having no shit today, just destroyed Daki straight up lmao. No question. Kinda sad to see her lose control like that, but brother Tanjiro is here to correct stuff, a nice lullaby too, it was quite sweet.

Uzui was wild in this episode too. Didn't give any shits, just went and did his job. Liked how Gyutaro pulled a fast one on him tho, the real fight begins now. The reaction when he heard Uzui has five wives too lmaooooooo.

Another impressive fight, but sad to see how Nezuko lost herself during it. As more she injured Daki as more she was enjoying it. At some point I even felt bad for Daki for what Nezuko was doing to her. Gladly Tanjirou was able to stop Nezuko from attacking that poor woman. I was shocked by Daki's look. Like she came right out of a zombie movie lol.

Nezuko and Tanjiro both really showed off, even if it was mostly to their rage. But if you see how smooth and without any effort Uzui beheaded Daki, there's still such a big difference.

Tanjiro singing Nezuko the familiar lullaby, their mother usually sang for her, hit right in the feels. But gladly it was able to calm her down. Heartbreaking to see Nezuko cry. At least now Tanjiro is able to put her back in the box, where she can heal and rest.

I didn't really understand why Daki wasn't disintegrating. Normally if you behead a demon it's over. But the explanation came shortly after in form of Gyuutarou. I'm slightly worried for Uzui. Nothing against Inosuke or Zenitsu, but they won't be any help against someone like Gyuutarou. They could easily lose their life, if they try to back up Uzui. I guess the "real" fight will now begin.

"You must get tons of attention from the ladies, don't you?"
"Well, yeah. I'm a flashy, glamorous ladies' man. And I even have three wives"

I really like it lol he still has time to show off even when life and death are right in front of him.

Nezuko who lost control and went berserk was honestly really cool but really scary too. It was a sad moment but I'm relieved to see her back to normal because of the lullaby.

Daki... it turns out that she is a bit... childish? because when she "lost" she throwing a tantrum and whines to her brother, who is none other than the real upper moon six demon, Gyuutarou. But the technique Gyuutarou used was really cool, so far from the few demons that have appeared it seems his technique is the coolest.

This is still the 6th rank.. how about the top 3... but for now I just hope that Tengen doesn't die. I'm a little scared that he'll end up like Rengoku, to be honest.

The music and detail in the fight scenes of this episode were really well thought out. Talk about smurfing on someone elses account, the ending surprise shows us the real upper rank demon hiding in their sibling was a nice touch though a bit disturbing.

On another note I don’t think it was the lullaby calmning her down, as much as it was her seeing her hand being held that took her back.. maybe it was both tho!


Facts, i think it would be a lot cooler if the lullaby thing remains a joke - and the real thing that calmed her down was the hand holding, because him having to say ALL the words before she had the memory would be even lamer,

the fact she was all of a sudden calm makes it seem more like the hand thing, cause both of those was timed right next to each other - so yeah, would much prefer it be the consoling thing more than the lame lullaby

xenosys said:

Next episode should be very good!

This one was a 4/5. The ridiculous chibi and comedy moments midway through a life or death scenario still don't fit tonally, but otherwise a good episode.


FACTS! - My only issue after all that excellent action and drama, was indeed the chibi moments and the girl having a meltdown, when her bro came about though, i got over the meltdown, and sorta the chibi,

But what dragged it back down and broke the tension all over again was the damn bro crying about being a looser, him being hideous is one thing, its kinda the only legit excuse for him to be edgy - but once he cried about the three wives, that was just lameeee, like yeah its a joke, but its such a stupid joke, the lighting kid zenitsu has done it so much im immune, but don't make a second character do it, that's just trashy

my whole point, was why break the tension with lame comedy? Leave it at the tantrum and ugliness but don't throw in chibis and jealous whines along with it

Really enjoyed seeing Nezuko gleefully beating the shit out of Daki in full animation glory, Daki's whimper and tantrum add to the satisfaction, that is until Gyutaro decided to finally pop-out. Him with the sickening frail body that he has, it's a perfect contrast between these 2 demonic siblings, one with unparalleled beauty and one with the most horrendous appearance. I thought Gyutaro would have a scratchier voice in the anime because that's what I always imagine his voice to sound like in the manga. Nevertheless, it just keeps getting more and more exciting.

Let us not forget the absolutely flashy entrance made by Tengen yet again, he came in a flash, protected his allies whilst simultaneously beheading Daki's head before ofc smugly announcing his superior flashiness and mocking her identity as an upper rank due to her incompetence and lack of strength. On top of that, when Gyutaro is going on his monologue announcing his envious thoughts, the fact that Tengen confirmed Gyutaro regarding Tengen's own enviable traits along with the fact that he has 3 wives just to further provoke Gyutaro, that was golden.

Arguably the best episode yet. In this and the previous episode we saw the mutual protection of the siblings in full display. Perhaps the demon siblings they fought symbolize what would happen to our two human + 'demon' siblings if they yielded to the 'dark side' (their weakness, the easy way out, become destroyers instead of protectors).

Both almost did. Both were saved, in more than one way, from their 'dead' siblings and from each other. I have not yet read the manga but I suspected that Daki was not alone. There was no way someone on their own could have killed all those Hashiras. On the contrary, when you have someone to protect, and even more so, someone to protect you as well, you can become immensely, mercilessly powerful.

If Tanjirou - Nezuko and Daki - Gyuutarou had fought directly 2 + 2 they would have leveled the entire city to the ground. Power like that can spawn earthquakes. Literally. When you only have to protect your own hide you die in a ditch.

Zenitsu is quite the heavy sleeper, but his subconscious seems to be able to keep up with everything so I guess its fine. Demon Form Nezuko was super powerful, but since she lost so much blood and saw human-blood it was about to make her go berserk. I'm glad Tanjiro was able to snap her out of it and stop her. It was fun to see Daki so bewildered and acting quite uncharacteristically once the tables were turned on her by Uzui but like a two-formed boss her brother appeared with power that far-out matches hers, and its a 2v1 to boot! This is going to be tough.

god one thing that does annoy me in demon slayer they love pulling some shit like this when an enemy they already set up is nearing defeat they pull some BS new more powerful one out of nowhere. I was half expecting Muzan himself to show up after they defeated Daki. It kind of cheapens Tanjiro's and Nezuko's feat against Daki.

I'm worried for Uzui now too and feel like we're defo in for a repeat of Rengoku

Aw man, I wanted to see more of Nezuko's adult form.

I was thinking, damn, Upper Six is so weak by Upper Demon standards. I didn't expect that twist with her brother. I already had suspicion from the start that she is two demons in one. I thought it was the obi sash, but it was just a part of her. She's gonna be a tricky demon to kill if she can split herself and has her bro to back her up as well.

Hopefully they beat Upper Six in a cool and acceptable way.

if they erase the existence of comedy for the next 3 episodes then it would be such a boon for most of the watchers

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.


Daki vs. Nezuko was awesome, but of course when Tengen shows up, the anime has to go and force some dumb "humor". Maybe cause they know their main audience is Japanese families/children, they don't want to make it too dark? Whatever the reason, it's yet another example of this show shooting itself in the foot.

Wow….just when we thought we won when Tengen entered the scene. Now Daki pulls a uno reverse card back to turn the tables. Now it’s 2v1. It would’ve been nice if Nezuko and Tengen would’ve been able to fight together to make it even, but let’s hope Inosuke and Zenitsh can somewhat help Tengen out or this won’t look good

I like this a lot, now it makes sense why Muzan was talking like that with Daki back when he visited her room. She may be weak, but her brother definitely looks stronger. Seeing her cry was kind of funny, lol.

But before that, I guess Nezuko's power came at a cost. I don't know if this will mean something since all 3 Water Breathing demon slayers that we know agreed to kill themselves if Nezuko goes for humans. Tengen was amazing this episode, his entrance and the way he talked to Tanjirou about Nezuko. The lulaby was not so emotional but the OST playing while Nezuko was crying was great.
