Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

[Buffalobiian]

Episode 10

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




Oh shit.. they went ahead and GARRRed it. I'll take that.

Headbutt was nicely telegraphed. Dumb demon, when Tanjiro raises his head, you've got only one thing coming, and it hurts.

What's not foreshadowed was Usui's Muscle Score. Sure, let's say he can read moves now - but he's still got poison in him. Forgetting the fact that stopping your heart kills your brain, restarting doesn't solve the problem.

"Sound Hashira" was never explained thus far. I assumed that locating things by sound or being quiet was a ninja perk. He's never been shown to be a musician, so backstory about him learning that as part of being "flashy" would have been a nice touch.

Kunai being the antidote wouldn't actually solve the problem. If it worked immediately then there's no need to stop your heart. If it worked slowly and you needed to buy time, then stopping your heart also stops antidote circulation. If playing dead was only to "process" the Muscle Score technique, then that's a huge gamble in hoping you don't get killed in the meanwhile.

Thunderclap Godlike-speed - cool. Not much to say besides the fact that Zenitsu is pretty much fully conscious for a while now. I hope they address this soon in the form of development - ie he no longer needs to unlock his subconscious to do this stuff.

Inosuke shifting his inner organs - okay. (lol at him hosing blood from his mask)

Good comedic effect from Suma to break the tension.

Blood explosion at the end - I thought it was out of place. Seemed like a throw-in thing to kill Uzui with.
