Swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps known as Hashiras have arrived on Mt. Natagumo. Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, slays the Father Spider Demon with a single strike. Inosuke, thrilled to see such a display of swordsmanship by someone in a totally different league from himself, challenges Giyu to a duel. Meanwhile, Zenitsu lies near death as the poison circulates throughout his body. Just then, the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho appears before him.

2020-03-20 15:48:15 +0000 UTCYeah, I don't care about your garbage takes Rick. I knew that there's a reason why I didn't want you on Blind Wave from the start.

2020-03-20 15:46:37 +0000 UTCI'll have you guys know!!! That the Japanese voice actress for Nezuko, Akari Kito, is always part of everything and appears quite often on Kimetsu Radio! 😤 Her little "mmmhmm!" and "hmphhmph" are important! 😂

2020-03-15 20:26:35 +0000 UTCThe change in his mark is foreshadowing for stuff that's been explained in the manga.

John FD Lobrano
2020-03-14 23:55:08 +0000 UTCBecause the old scar looked like a weird birthmark, and the new one looks badass, they had to visually show his change after Final Selection, since he looks the same as before his training like some protags, *DEKU*.

2020-03-14 12:10:47 +0000 UTCalso the sword smith mention that Tanjiro reddish eyes and hair with his family working with FIRE was good luck so the connection with Tanjiro and fire has been in the show since the beginning.

2020-03-14 04:06:56 +0000 UTCNonsense, they SHOULD watch Yuri on Ice
Conner Simpkins
2020-03-14 01:40:57 +0000 UTCthe show doesn't shy away from magical effects, so its strange to say "oh these magical effects are real, but these other ones over here aren't real." The show did a poor job explaining its combat, should have spend an extra episode on the training, it was too rushed.

2020-03-14 01:28:37 +0000 UTCI'm with you, Melanie. I pretend like the effects are there. Idgaf if they're not

2020-03-14 00:16:21 +0000 UTCI guess I understand your point of the father's importance being out of nowhere. But their deal with fire has always been hinted at since the very beginning. The guy who made Tanjiro's sword was hoping he would get a red blade, because it was said his red hair and eyes indicate he comes from a family that deals with fire. Tanjiro's bloodline seems to be a very special case, since it seems Muzan is so dead set on killing him due to that flashback early on showing him being defeated by a demon slayer with very much the same hair color and earrings as Tanjiro. Tanjiro not remembering his father's technique might be due to the fact it was indeed a technique not specifically for fighting. In general it seems to be for this fire dance and to ensure you don't get exausted while doing so. The subtle hints were all there, well except for the father which is understandably a flaw in the story. But it's still a great story with some damn perfection in execution. Enjoyed the reaction, was kinda very much my reaction to this episode

2020-03-13 21:46:43 +0000 UTCalso Eric you did miss when the scar changed he was injured during the final selection the big gross demon broke his mask and that's when it changed I don't know why it changed so much I just know that's when it started to change

2020-03-13 20:17:40 +0000 UTCblack blades are rare but the slayers that have them are said to not go very far

2020-03-13 19:21:42 +0000 UTCDuring first watch I usually don’t think about plot holes as much because it IS anime. The animation is what did it for me and I feel that this way of revealing the fire breath lifts the episode because almost everything except the water dragon is not expected and instead builds on top one after the other. I understand where Rick’s going with this though cause I kinda felt the same. The hints were very subtle and easy to miss since the pace of the show has been very fast and action packed. I can only piece these things together about Demon Slayer from rewatching it over and over through reactions and then the discussions after. It’s funny because Rick was usually asking the right questions when there was a hint in past episodes but then his line of thought and predictions would run a bit crazy.

2020-03-13 19:18:07 +0000 UTCTo point something out Zenitsu's scene with butterfly girl did foreshadow the whole life flashing before your eyes type deal, which Tanjiro did go through in that instance, that could have jogged his memory alittle bit

2020-03-13 18:04:39 +0000 UTCBlack Blades are actually extremely uncommon, they say black blade wielders don't last too long and that's why you don't see many.

2020-03-13 17:18:59 +0000 UTCHinokami Kagura literally means Dance of the Fire God.
Envyus
2020-03-13 16:29:37 +0000 UTCTechnically there is hints to the dad in the ending sequence. I remember coming up with all kinds of fun theories from just the few shots we see of him. Took me a while to get there too, which is why I never skip openings and endings. Even if I’m bingeing. Something to think about, but I know not to expect too much if Rick has his way. Curse you and your preemptive buttoning, you fiend!

Shane King
2020-03-13 15:34:06 +0000 UTCAlso, random thought: Am I the only one who feels the dad used that breathing technique for things OTHER than dancing? Because I’m just saying, Tanjiro first saw him do it when he was like, 5, and Nezuko was like, 2. Which was many years, and four siblings ago. >B)
John FD Lobrano
2020-03-13 15:03:03 +0000 UTCI can understand Rick’s criticism. The whole Fire Breathing did come out of left field. But there are subtle breadcrumbs that make it work. 1. Tanjiro was VERY young when he learned about this. And doesn’t look back on it all that much. 2. We know Muzan fears someone who looks like Tanjiro’s father during that brief flashback he had, indicating that his family DOES have a long rivalry with Kibitsuji. And 3. The breathing technique was only for dancing, not for fighting. So Tanjiro didn’t feel to put those things together at the time.

Mr. Big Stuff
2020-03-13 14:46:08 +0000 UTCI’m not sure that I like the way they changed the dialogue for Tanjiro’s father. He said that he wanted to pass them down and that they were his gift. However, in the original dub he says that the dance and especially the earrings must be passed down to him and that this was the promise he made. To who? We don’t know yet, but it makes you wonder what is so special about the dance and earrings that they have to be passed down
Stuart Hanmore
2020-03-13 14:43:20 +0000 UTCSince we are introduced to the 12 Kizuki and their numbering system: all the 12 have their number engraved into their eyes. The order from top to bottom: Upper Moon 1 Upper 2 Upper 3 Upper 4 Upper 5 Upper 6 Lower Moon 1 Lower 2 Lower 3 Lower 4 Lower 5 Lower 6 Rui was Lower Moon 5, so you can say he was second weakest. Enjoyed the reaction, cant wait for next weeks!
Yuriichi
2020-03-13 13:55:35 +0000 UTCIt just so happens his traditional family dance has a breathing technique that would allow him to keep going and fight. Usually you wouldn't associate a dance technique with a fighting technique. It was a desperate attempt to keep fighting and it worked.
kirabook
2020-03-13 13:53:35 +0000 UTCI am sorry, but I will go to my grave saying that the water effects are absolutely there. No one can change my mind. :P
MelanieRS
2020-03-13 13:51:47 +0000 UTCWhen Nezuko wakes up, that part always fucking gets me. Easily my favorite episode of any anime in 2019.

2020-03-13 13:43:41 +0000 UTCDuring the final selection (ep 5) he had got a new injury on top of the older scar

2020-03-13 13:34:28 +0000 UTCCan we remind Eric that it’s actually the opposite about the black blades. They’re very uncommon, not common.
