Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

[Munsu]

"The air at the mountain is thinner!', no it's not you dumbass.

Looks like you've never been at high altitudes...

what exactly was that demon feared of? To be killed by that elder demon? Worked out great, huh? Dumb

Yes, it worked out great. He recovered and managed to do another attack, got killed anyways, but not telling was still the right choice in case his last attack worked.

Also, there are things to fear more than death, and we don't know what that demon is capable of.

holding a child prevents the hero from attacking the elder demon? Sigh. screw that poor guy who got turned into a demon (and killed for sure) because of that decision. ����

Generally, I'm disappointed what aturn for the ... generic this anime took after the good first episode and the fun training arc. Bummer

And the problem is? That a rookie Demon Slayer when faced with the big boss who massacred his family and potentially holds the knowledge on how to turn his sister back hesitates because he's confused about his nature? Yeah, that's a BIG problem story wise...

But yeah, let's go find other meaningless little details to complain about to completely discard the series just so you can say "you see, I was right about not wanting to watch this show".

But yeah, let's go find other meaningless little details

Thx for being the authority on what's 'meaningless little' and what's not ...

[KrayZ33]

I agree with Krayz's points.

Also, I don't think meeting the final boss this early and having an actual conflict is typical of shounen stories. Most of those take forever to have main heroes and villains meet.

Rofl...I'm like "what are you guys talking about"

Now I know what Mfauli meant.. I stopped watching at around 16:13 because for some reason I thought this weeks episode is over when it faded into black.

I even missed sleepy-let-me-drag-you-along-Nezuko, unforgivable!

Considering what we saw there however it's/it would be actually pretty clever to NOT attack the demon, unless you want Tokyo to completely demonize. As far as I'm concerned, this is exactly what the demon wanted to show off to him.

[Buffalobiian]

I totally didn't expect the meet up with Muzan so soon. I'm pleasantly surprised.

re: "I can't breathe"
-He used up his energy/breath performing the attack. I thought that was appropriate.

re: "fear"
-it's an emotional response drilled into him as opposed to a rational one. Neither decision is a good survival strategy, but Muzan was the scarier of the two.

You've made your bed, now lie on it.

Episode 9



that fight was both great and weird at the same time.
Really nice performance overall though, all that dodging, slashing, moving around - it was pleasant to look at

[Buffalobiian]

Yoshiro double-backing when he disappointed Tamayo was hilarious.

Nezuko losing her leg to the ball was pretty brutal, and so in character for her actually.

Incoming AOE spell from Tamayo next episode.

I'm loving the interval comedic moments as well as the uplifting ending segments at the end. It helps keep this show light hearted.

[MFauli]

The arrows are so dumb though. Both the ones in his eyes and the ones he attacks with. It's ... literall arrows as you'd see them in text books or wherever :/

Couldn't they make it a more sensical shape?

[shinta|hikari]

There's nothing more logical than arrows though lol. It is simple and easy to understand. And this is not medieval Japan, so they certainly know about arrow symbols.

This show is reminding me of HxH in that the powers of the demons make no fucking sense. They just... are the way they are.

@Buff - That was the best part of the episode. "It was a joke!"

The animation and choreography is superb. I usually hate scenes where people just dodge around, but this was art.

[Ryllharu]

Are they really real arrows though? Or just demonic representation of vectors? It's not like Tamayo summons literal flowers. She overwhelms human senses. Yoshiro used his own powers over vision to grant him the ability to see the vectors.

[shinta|hikari]

Well, the arrogant dood specifically said arrows when he tipped protag off.

Episode 10




------------------------------




That was a great conclusion to this arc. Comedic moments, heart-warming moments, action segments.. all of it.

It'll be kind of hard to find each other again if Tamayo still intends to perfect her serum for Nezuko however. What happened to "collecting blood for Tamayo"?

[shinta|hikari]

He can just keep collecting the blood. They must be special in that they don't spoil. One day, they can meet again.

[Buffalobiian]

But... blood spoils super quickly..

I'll have to suspend my disbelief superhard for that one.

[shinta|hikari]

Demons regenerate their heads, but somehow their blood not spoiling is unbelievable?

[MFauli]

So why isn't the blood vanishing just like the rest of the killed demons, including their splattered everywhere blood?

[shinta|hikari]

Because the protag needs to collect them, duh. Just like how Killua has an undeclared sister that can cure Gon when no one else can.

[MFauli]

Because the protag needs to collect them, duh. Just like how Killua has an undeclared sister that can cure Gon when no one else can.

A previously unknown sister is maybe lame, but physically possible.
Collecting blood that was shown to evaporize is ... how? 🤷*♀️🤔

[KrayZ33]

Maybe it doesn't disappear in a syringe and only when exposed to the enviroment?

Doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for me

Episode 11:


The moment I've been dreading, the "introduction" of Zenitsu... what a terrible character to have on this show.
