Zenitsu said that he dreamed of being stronger than anyone and being able to help alot of people. Is that the reason why he unleashes his true potential only when he "sleeps"? cuz he is living his dream? He also said that everything grandpa taught him wont go to waste. Just my theory lul

[@ethanquirk28]

Kaschin its more along the lines of he gets caught up in his own head with fear. He overthinks and doubts himself and freezes. He’s convinced he can’t do a single thing well so thats the reality he creates. When he’s asleep he’s not conscious so he’s not there to doubt himself. At that point its just straight up muscle memory with nothing to hold him back. Remember when he was describing his hearing ability? That he could recall entire conversations people had while he was asleep? He’s literally hearing his entire surroundings like sonar while he’s asleep and then his body is reacting on its own as a result of the sheer amount of training he did, which was as he said in this, to a point where he was doing additional training on his own by not sleeping

The lighting that turned Zenitsu's hair was real. HOWEVER, every other water/lightning/element is just a visual representation and is not actually there. The sound that Tanjiro heard was the sound of Zenitsu moving so fast he broke the sound barrier. No one has any special powers except the demons. All of this is said by the author and isn't a debate. Not trying to hate, I just want to clear up the confusion. UPVOTE SO THEY CAN SEE IT Edit: This isn't an argument or my opinion, it's a FACT confirmed by the author. I don't understand why people think this is a debatable topic. If you don't like how the characters have mild superhuman strength/speed, GET OVER IT because it's anime, and logic doesn't usually apply. There are going to be people that still try to disagree but they should go do some research I stead of arguing with some random commenter.

Rana about Zenitsu: "He's like a total badass." Me: *proud* People realizing how cool Zenitsu actually is makes me so damn happy. These aren't spoilers since they've already been made clear in the anime so.. Tanjiro already knows that Zenitsu is strong. He mentioned it in an earlier episode. Also, how did you guys not notice that Zenitsu opened his eyes in this episode before he attacked? He wasn't about to be out of it after he attacked lmao. He doesn't have a second personality or whatever😂 Oh, and the former Hashira isn't actually his grandpa. And that other guy in the flashback is actually another guy being trained by the former Hashira. And the only thing, that is real is the thunder sound Zenitsu makes when he moves because he's a fast boy. Everything else, water, lightning etc is sadly only effects as confirmed by the creator.

So the Demon slayers in the show use Breathing sword art eg:Water,Lightning,Beast). These are all regular sword techniques but they are similar to the movement or effects of other things. Eg. Tanjiro and Gyu’s blade movement if smooth like water. Zenitsu’s movement is fast and powerful so it’s similar to lightning and thunder. The effects are there just to look cool. Ps. zen getting struck by lightning is mire to explain his hair color and his resistance for the future...

Also beast is a fighting style not art

[@taurustko9507]

​@@wisewillowgames Well, I'm pretty sure that Zenitsu is one of if not the best thunder breathing practitioner, with him possibly being beat by his fellow student who learned all but the first form, not counting his teacher of course. So I think he'd still have you beat with just the one.

[@alejandrodiazmera2650]

All of the breathing techniques are metaphoric and the "element" represented is adjusted to the properties of that swordmanship in cuestion. For example thunder breathing is incredibly fast and clean, water breathing is smooth and fluent and animal breathing is wild and instictual. And by the way the "thunder" is not a direct effect of the thunder breathing but a consecuence of the speed that Zenitsu reaches when he fights which is different.

[@Hakuu_A19]

Knew you guys would come to like God mode Zenitsu ⚡ Even if you can't learn six, hone your ability so that it equivalent six fold. This anime does an amazing job at giving backstories to all of its cast, and man I love Zenitsu's theme so much. Also, glad you guys are watching three episodes in a row, definitely worth it 😉 Also I find comparing Demon Slayer at this moment in time a bit weird. I feel as though some people try to claim that it's riding off the good animation but I think that argument undervalues how good the story is put together and contextualised. Giving it a fair chance over more seasons, even the next few episodes, will show how motivations and goals become much clearer. 😁

[@animusswtor4822]

Sir Gawain I mean if we’re judging on first seasons only I‘d agree with you, since imo both ds and mha have a bit of a meh start and pick up only after some time; also DS has more episodes in the first season so maybe that’s unfair too, my complete take: Judging first seasons only DS > MHA Judging 13 episodes only (since Mha S1 is only 13 eps) MHA = DS Judging 26 episodes (you get the gist of it) MHA > DS Judging the complete story (including both manga(yes I’m caught up in both) MHA > DS Just my personal opinion and I understand if someone doesn’t agree

[@Emilis2023]

MHA has grown on me a lot. At first I disliked it as a Naruto knock-off, but now that I'm watching both as reactions on this channel, I realize that it's really an improvement in most ways. The only thing I'm not so sure about with it is I don't see much in the way of goals to drive the narrative. With Naruto, Sasuke needed to get revenge, Naruto needed to save Sasuke, Sakura needed to get useful. In Demon Slayer Tanjiro needs to revert Nezuko and get revenge against Muzan. There were things that were well established goals. I don't really feel that with MHA. I mean I know Midoria is supposed to become the greatest hero, but that's about the most generic shonen goal you could ever expect. I'm sure it will flush out some more stuff with character origins and things its hinted at, and probably gotten to to some extent in the manga, but right now if feels like a bunch of loosely connected arcs that could be shuffled around without much tweaking and you'd never know. Some of those arcs are great though!

In the last scene (with the highschool version of the characters) the reason why Tomioka told Zenitsu to dye his hair is because having blonde hair in japan (and basically any other hair color that isn´t black and that stands out) is considered a form of rebellion, the sign of someone who has problematic behavior and is seen as kinda disrespectful toward authority figures (like teachers) and also towards people older than you. Basically they don´t like anything that shows that kind of individualism and identity because the people in japan seems to be very strict with rules and things like that so they prefer a most standard look for every student to promote order. This is slowly changing though and as far I heard there have been petitions to change this rule in schools after a girl was told to dye his natural hair color (that was kinda brown) to black and got some hair issues after she did it.

if you ever react to one piece please watch the 'one pace' version that edits down all the stretched bits that Toei animation puts in to stay behind the manga. Not sure of the exact episode count but I think it's around 400 episodes essentially cutting down 500 eps worth of stretched material. Even if a handful of people see this comment and check it out I'd be happy as its literally one piece in its best form, truest adaptation of the manga with great pacing and all the benefits that come as an anime.

[@addollz6192]

didnt know this was a thing

[@ofimportance5458]

One Piece as an anime isn't that good but the manga is amazing.

[@cresentj]

@@ofimportance5458 the anime would be great if it was paced well which is what one pace fixes. Though the pacing issue is only really apparent post time skip.

What tanjiro heard was a sonic boom, he even points out that he did smell the usual residue of a lighting strike which was an indication that there was no actual lightning.

[@aswinthampan740]

i just started watching you guys just 2hrs ago and i am loving your content. keep it up guys. Love from India.

[@silveriusstorm6318]

Just to clear things up: The Breaths are mostly metaphorical, but they're not as simple as that. The Forms of each Breath are specific attack movements that due to the Demon Slayers' special Total Concentration Breathing, acquire fitting special attributes such as water and thunder. The thunder which hit Zenitsu was definitely not "summoned" by Zenitsu. Breaths do not affect the weather.

The funny thing is Dabi from my hero academia and Zenitsu from Demon Slayer have the same voice actor (Hiro Shimono)

[@svgftw351]

the guy dogging on zenitsu was a felloow trainee under zenitsu's grandfather remember him

[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

Not relevant in the anime yet...but yeah !

[@AceOps]

There's really no point in remembering him. It will literally be years before he's relevant in the anime again if the anime even makes it that far.

[@azazelop5223]

svgftw how the fuck aren’t they gonna remember him? He literally showed up for like a minute of screen time...... Spoiler. ....And he will only be relevant again in like 4 or 5 years.

[@arieskeller9278]

Breathing techniques allow normal humans to surpass their limits and defeat demons. Thunder breathing and water breathing are called that way because one's as fast as sound and the other is as smooth as water flowing. The author themselves said that the water, lightning and other visuals are just meant to enhance the representation of the techniques' natures because just watching swords clashing would not be as engaging.

[@jasonwelsch4142]

4 seasons of my hero versus not even a full season of demon slayer. Your opinions have no validity. why make a comparison?

[@justjoking4223]

They can still judge based on what they've seen so far. If demon slayer gets better in the future then it gets better, but people can still have opinions on it. Obviously the fact that mha has been going on longer is a factor in this, but it doesn't change anything. Chill out, because some people might think that you're butthurt or something.

[@bleulily]

Jason Welsch as someone reading the manga, kny is just okay when you compare to other shounen. The anime just got the great animation going for them. It’s extremely aesthetically pleasing. But the story is quite typical and predictable for me. In my humble opinion, Gotouge-san needs more experience in fleshing out characters and storylines.

[@esavalila576]

I must be a freak of nature because I am certainly capable of loving different series at the same time for entirely different reasons...if the internet is to be believed that is a rare ability ;)

[@bleulily]

Esa Välilä that’s exactly how things are supposed to be enjoyed :). The internet is just obsessed with the “popular”, “bandwagon” or “trending”, and couldn’t have a healthy intellectual discussion. But would rather shame others who doesn’t agree with their “taste”. Well, having grown up reading and watching a ton of manga and anime, respectively, that’s just my critical opinion on kny. It isn’t a bad manga, just needs a lot of improvement. I hope Gotouge-san’s next work will be better if they decide to stick to shounen. :)

[@jdeleon5816]

I don’t get it lol, My Hero is the definition of mediocrity even if it has its good moments

[@graciachristine3010]

the gramps is not his blood-related grandfather, he is his sensei. and the other boy is not his brother, both of them is the gramp's students. it is important for hashira to have student to inherit the legacy or breathing techniques

[@christinezacarias7245]

WHY DO THEY THINK THE WATER IS REAL? ITS A METAPHOR!

In a few episodes it becomes crystal clear that the magic water is actually not just visuals since it cuts without the sword touching anything.

if you guys love watching BoJack Horseman, you should definitely check out Beastars. Trust me, it's a really good show and very underrated. By the end of the first episode, you will be instantly hooked!

[@dmon6016]

Its not that good

[@jonwolf137]

Hmm. Why do you say that? the concept, story, or murder mystery is not that good?

[@LukaNyan]

Beastars it's a masterpiece. No idea why many are skipping it. Btw it doesn't have anything in common with Bojack horseman if not only for both having humanized animals.

[@jonwolf137]

@@LukaNyan aside from the possible and obvious reason why people skip it, I am a sucker for great, character development, and murder mysteries that are handled well. I don't like it when people tell others to not like it but don't have a real good reason on why to dislike it. Never judge a book by its cover. What ever happened to that saying when it comes to engaging and creative stories in Media now in days.?

[@Dannydarko27]

Fun fact: thunder is the sound proceeding lightning. What we see with Zenitsu, the lightning, is artistic flourish. The thunder heard is the sound of Zenitsu moving so fast he breaks the sound barrier, a crash like thunder noise is then created

[@UnknownPictures]

Breaking a sound barrier as a human being is even more surreal than magic water effects, in a few episodes it becomes crystal clear that the magic water is actually not just visuals since it cuts without the sword touching anything.

[@Dannydarko27]

Then why isn't anything wet after the water touches it.

[@buddyhism7135]

It’s not real, the effects they show is only there to visualize the different forms of the technique. The thunder was probably just an after-effect of Thunderclap and Flash. The spider demon didn’t see lightning but he felt the air vibrating.

The elemental effects of the blade styles is all in their heads. It is confirmed by the author. It’s just for pizazz. The water, and all. Notice how inosuke has no effects to his blade forms it’s because he developed them himself and does not corralate them with any element.

I love how last episode Tanjiro descended from the heavens like an angel with the moon in the background. Just to free/merc kill the mom. Whilst Zenitsu rises from the earth like a demon/devil to punish the son and ends up with the moon behind him like Tanjiro
