You once said "I'll watch the opening when we get to ep 9, because of spoilers", was this a lie?

[@MomokaViixiv]

Im watching ur reactions, after just finishing the NEWEST season OMFG they go SO HARD just when i thought it couldnt get any more hype or any better its just reaching for the sky. Its amazing and i cant wait for you to see the first movie, and the newest season. I got goosebumps like three times on the last episode.

[@avyanschannel]

@GOTGames 28:45 Let me just say that even though you'll be annoyed by Zenitsu a lot, you'll definitely see some mad growth from him, especially nearing the ending of the series. The final season isn't out yet, but there was a particular fragment of a scene (I won't provide context, so no spoilers) where Zenitsu is falling down enemy territory, apparently sleeping/passed out, or that's what we all thought, considering his behavior. And then... He opens his eyes. That's all he did, and he now has people shaking in their boots with excitement waiting for him to go absolutely insane during the final fight with big bad daddy Michael Jackson. At least, I know I'm looking forward to whatever comes after that! It doesn't mean anything to you yet because you've just started watching the series, but that single action was super meaningful to those of us who have been watching the show all the way until the latest season. So bear with him now, because it's going to be a very rewarding watch!

Something I love that shows the depth of Tanjiros kindness is that we clearly see Tanjiro get pissed off by the Mother Spider when she snapped the necks of those other slayers but he still gave her the grace of a peaceful death when she showed a willingness to die. Tanjiro really is a wonderfully sweet kid

[@brandonwithnell612]

i also like that while hes kind hes not naive, he may act gentle and say kind words to the demons but he still makes sure they are dead and cannot harm innocents anymore. unlike his sister who he knows has not killed anyone he cant ignore a demons current threat and let them live but he can let their passing be one of peace

[@GOTGames]

[@SavvisGeo]

21:30 the way Tanjiro changed his form in order to kill her gently when he saw she surrendered, shows once again his gentle character

[@Shadowcat31]

The fact that its a move that cannot even work unless the demon willingly show thier neck for the kill and accept thier death means that Tanjiro is ALWAYS looking for signs of acceptance from the demons hes killing so he can use that form, because he hates causing pain even if its for the greater good like killing demons

[@Phantom_373]

Tanjiro switching to a gentler form to kill the mother when he saw the look on her face just shows how pure he is.

Demon Slayer doesn't try to shock viewers/readers with plot twists or confuse us by withholding information just for the sake of a late revelation. To some, that makes it simple writing. To those who appreciate it, the writing is great and doesn't need tricks and twists to move and engage.

[@Pacha_RM]

It is simple still, but the problem is that people seem to think that simple is bad when it is not

[@SpiritoftheWolf28232]

The simplicity of Demon Slayer comes from it's pacing and pattern. Have abridged training montage. Get mission. Finish mission. This is the pacing. Fight small fries. Fight boss. Feel sorry for boss. This is the pattern. Overall there is no real deviation throughout the story. But you are correct in that simple does not equal bad. While the writing is simple, there is still nuance where it counts. Nuance in the interactions between characters. Nuance in the actions characters take. Nuance in the dialogue, both to oneself and to others. It is that nuance in the microcosm that enhances the simplicity of the macrocosm and allows them to play off of one another, creating a beautiful, if predictable, entertainment experience.

[@dpolaristar4634]

The Main three are more talented that the average slayer even as newbies. The reason they are rank one is simply because they are new and haven't even had ten missions yet.

[@JM-us3fr]

Also, Tanjiro seems to consistently fight difficult demons. Whether it’s an abnormally strong demon at Final Selection, or a couple supercharged henchmen, or a former Demon Moon, Tanjiro keeps getting practice with stronger and stronger demons

[@yozarian86]

@@JM-us3frWell. He survives strong demons. 10 demon slayers couldn’t handle the relatively weak spider woman. Tanjiro alone could almost beat her if he wasn’t burdened with protecting people.

*answers and info about this episode:* tanjirou said he missed inosuke throwing a person up onto the tree to tangle them up. the demon that had no head was alive because he was kept alive. demons has to either be cut by nichirin sword, killed by exposing it to the sun, or muzan. meaning if demons behead demons, they can be kept alive with no head.

[@Ryanubet35]

The fact that Tanjiro switched his form to give her a painless death when he saw how the mother had not only accepted death, but was welcoming it, despite the fact she had just killed a group of demon slayers just shows how pure a heart he has.

[@shockhorn81]

18:36 They only die to decapitation by Nichirin blades any other way of beheading wouldn't be fatal. 19:44 They are all 3 idiots remember they can come up with some genius tactics but still idiots. 22:54 Yes the story is very simple but it's well executed there's a lot of depth to everything and Demon slayer is really good at making you feel bad for the demons with their backstories. 27:05 Kamaboko Gonpachiro, Shakariki Gengoro, Itadaki Tontaro, Anago Kanjiro, Amado Jangoro, Monjiro, Kentaro, Soichiro, Tanpachiro, Santaro, Ponjiro if you ever forget his name take your pick lol. 29:18 remember that Murata has been a Demon slayer longer than them, and that this is Tanjiro's 4th mission so not enough to go on to give them a promotion.

All Slayers use the breathing forms, but the ones with sharpened senses are generally super talented, that's one reason Giyu recommended Tanjiro to that Master with the Mask, because like him, he has a sharp sense of smell.

About the writting, I love it, some people say that is simple because the trama is simple, the demon slayers.....slay demons, good vs bad. It doesn't have big plot twists like attack on titan or a big mistery or several plots at the same time. But what makes it a good anime for me is that I can enjoy all the interactions, all the small characters have a background and personality. The characters are great and unique. For more about the writting I'll wait for your reactions.

[@iRoboticGaming]

Rui's voice actor is Uchiyama Kouki, you have indeed heard him before, Inumaki in JJK (bonito flakes), the king in HxH, Kang Taeshik in Solo Leveling etc.

[@Newborn_God]

Demon slayer simple? Yes absolutely, but not its writing, I would not call it a masterpiece in that aspect, but it is very good, it's just the plot, its good and simple. Everything else? God level tier, animation, OST, character design and sound effects (highly over... heard :P) This last scene man, Tanjiro changing from the first to the fifth, I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful decapitation in any media, the slow down to an almost standstill, the momentary silence, followed by the soft melody, it was handled with so much care, you can see it in Lukes face, his bewildered, this was the first of many scenes that made me realize that I was watching something special.

[@apratimsingh1306]

Of course you recognize Rui's voice actor. Same voice as the King of the chimera ants in HxH. Also, as for the comment of Demon Slayer literally being all the things you love in a show put together: I literally told you so.

I dont think its being a hater to say that Demon has simple writing. Reason behind this is the use of battle shounen format. And its not a bad thing. Its a fomat that has worked for many popular shows. I think its subjective on what you consider simple or complex. I think the scenes are certainly complex but story progression is fairly simple. Currently we are on 4th location since Tanjirou became official demon slayer and you can see the pattern.

[@KelloXarts]

??? Every story has a pattern. Everyone likes to say Game of Thornes was unpredictable but it wasn't. In the beginning any story can be surprising because we as an audience don't know the rules of the world but once the writer has laid the foundation of the story the audience will general know what is going to happen.

[@brotato966]

@@sal2028 The pattern in battle shounen is a well known thing Im not making this up. New arc, new villain, MC and party encounters villain. They split up tackling different enemies or problems. The showdown happens with MC facing off against main villain of the arc. Then we go through training, then stronger villain comes and the whole pattern repeats., Im not saying you are wrong. I can agree that every story has a pattern. But Im specefically talking about the pattern of battle shounen which is used in a lot of shows like Naruto, MHA, fairy tail. You dont have to see this as a criticism is just an attribute that Im referencing to say why its called simple.

He's all about testing his strength against other creatures as he said, but he was outright beat by a headbutt from Tanjiro. Then he tried to strengthen his head by running into stuff because of that, but it's a strength Inosuke can respect.

As an absolute major fan of DS, it being my favorite anime of all time as of, I will agree and say the writing/story is very simple and can lack the thrill... sometimes (when compared to shows like AoT, etc.). Although it isn't over complicated, there is beauty in that by itself (because of how simple and not overly complicated the story is). BUT, just because the story is simple doesn't mean the story isn't an amazing one on its own. In general, story carries an anime a long way, and sure other animes do it better, but the simplicity of this along with the beauty of animation and sound design makes this series such a lovable one/tear-jerker and makes you care so much for the characters. Personally, I cannot wait for you to continue the next 3 episodes of this arc along with the seasons that follow season 1!!!!

[@SanisBlack]

Understanding the way of ranking and strength between demon slayers is like comparing artists, or musicians, or athletes ... Yes, everyone can do it, but not everyone is talented to be one of the best. Plot-vise ... You are in for a treat every time you watch a new episode, so just continue to enjoy the cliffhangers 😅

[@KagesakiAinz]

You already said this anime had a beautiful animation, but you saw nothing, you'll be really surprised in a few episodes. Also Haters hate Demon Slayers because it has such a good animation while their favorite anime not so much, so they try to nitpick at things but since the story/characters are so well written and they also have a nice design and a god tier animation the only thing they can say is "THE STORY IS SIMPLE". Simple but well done is better than complex and confusing, that's all i have to say

Luke remember the bolder Tanjiro cut was much larger than all the other of Urokodaki's students and training was much more intense because he never intended for Tanjiro to pass so he is ahead of the game with power and skill than a regular noob. Plus he is Tanjiro and I will leave that as that.

Murata is the same rank as our boys here, however he's been a member longer. So it's a basic respect for experience/age thing that makes him kind of sort of in charge. Inosuke of course has no fking clue about societal norms so he just sees a weakling where as Tanjiro is a cinnamon roll and so is more than willing to defer to him atm. Edit: To be fair to the haters... the story is simple. But simple isn't bad. Look at fairy tales, simple stories that are designed to convey complex meanings and messages.

[@Requiredpoisoninocean]

Luke you really have a bad habit of calling anyone "haters" If they criticize something or say even one negetive thing that thing. You did that with Sword art online, you did that with Attack on Titan and now here. Negetivity/criticism doesn't come out of nowhere, vinland saga for the most part is considered a masterpiece by everyone, it doesn't have many haters even though it's very popular. Why? Bcoz it doesn't have many flaws either. It is the truth that demon slayer story is fairly simple. If you love it or hate it, it doesn't matter. It does nothing unique in terms of its story, it follows a very tried and tested shonen storytelling without bringing anything new, special or remarkable to the table. It plays it very "safe" If that makes sense. And that is what ppl critise it for, and those complaints are absolutely valid. If you enjoy it, that's totally fine, you are new to anime of course you don't find it a big issue. Some of us have been watching anime for YEARS by now, we have seen many shonens and all the generic anime troups and stuff. Of course we are gonna have different opinions compared to you guys who are new. Idk why you are labelling them as "haters". Ppl are allowed to critise stuff, it doesn't make you a hater. You haven't seen most of the issues ds has yet, finish the show before making a judgemental on others. It's like if someone watched Blue Beetle movie and said it was peak and anyone who criticised it was just a hater. Bruh we have seen whole marvel cinematic universe, this movie was nothing special. Obviously it was visually really impressive but from story telling perspective it was a generic super hero movie. Understand my point?

[@natalimoina]

That's really not true, Demon Slayer definitely is unique (or at least as unique as a story can be considering everything has been done to an extent) and it's overall story is very complex. It doesn't try to be safe at all but stays true to the story it's trying to tell from the start all the way to the end.

Inosuke (when he finally finds what would make Monjiro snap) "...Okay."

[@sazuteks3104]

The episode title is "Letting Someone Else Go First". Inosuke's "Anything you can do, I can do, too" is about letting someone else get the killing blow. You would expect someone like Inosuke to chase after the bragging rights, but if Tanjiro can set someone up to get the kill, Inosuke (the superior demon slayer) can also do it. He already knew where the enemy was with his spacial awareness, so knew where to throw Tanjiro.

[@MarcioHuser]

Episode 19 approaching. Rember Luke: don't skip and don't pause the ending. You will thank us. You can watch for yourself and cut it out in edition, but pleaso DO watch it fully as it was intended. It will be worthy 🫡

[@Loooooong0]

I revisited the episodes and realized that episode 18 ended on a WILD cliffhanger.

[@Reescep9557]

13:45 yeah it really did take a turn, what a twist

[@TheSlayer117]

The story is relatively simple but its strength is how it writes evry characters and make you feel for them. Besides Zennosuke.

[@damianlecumberry7427]

Tanjiro can smell emotions, Zenitsu can hear emotions, Inosuke can feel emotions. He almost poop himself when he felt Tanjiro's rage...

[@johannesbowers7467]

Not your "Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman"⛩️ .... Not your "Spiderman and his Amazing Friends"⛩️ .... Just broken, tortured people, lost in the darkness of the Demonic infection and Muzan's manipulation.... 😱

[@Roger_ryokai]

Inosuke said tanjiro only two time first here and the last is heartbreaking

[@Zamerus]

the characters seem to just display some uncommon to rare traits that occour in real life. Inoske being a couple traits in one, double jointed, and a more sensitive skin (the one I relate to , even a gentle puppy bites feel like i'm being ripped apart) and another you'll see later! Human mutations are interesting, though most of what I know and remember is from hearing things in passing

[@pikmints]

I think that part of why the demon's death this episode makes you feel bad for her is because she was seemingly killing while under duress. Selfish, terrible people rarely accept defeat as willingly as she did.

[@RinSyuveil]

If you did not notice Tanjiro was flying in with 1 form of attack planning to kill her for all she did to the demon slayers but then when she gave up he changed forms and showed her mercy by using the 1 form of a gentle attack

[@apratimsingh1306]

"mommy spider can make me her doll🤤😩" 12:50 "neck snaps" oh well, never mind😵‍💫

[@keona5560]

LMAOOOO

[@luciowong8590]

I wouldn't say that demon slayer's writing is "simple", it's story is for sure simple, but everything else is pretty well done. Just because something is simple it doesn't mean it's bad

[@halfasleepalex]

Rank doesn't really define skill in every case. Since rank is determined by how many demons someone has killed (after final selection), usually the older corps members are higher ranked due to having more time to kill demons. Tanjiro and the other 2 are fresh new corps members, so they haven't been on many missions, therefore haven't had the opportunity to kill enough demons to rank up, while Murata is a few years older than them and has been slaying demons for a few years at this point. Despite being newer, the trio are more innately talented than Murata, meaning they will likely surpass his rank within a short span of time.

[@user-bd5ne9km3e]

Tanjiro used gentle and painless form to cut off her nech when he realised she was threatening and wanted freedom😢

[@evanrishel8513]

Zenitsu has a lot of character development, you might not believe me now but you will see him fit for our cute and pure Nezuko. He has to be a top 3 character for me just from how far he comes throughout the show 😊 happy you're enjoying the series luke

[@jamesperrott1]

RIP Second best spider girl Everyone obsessed with her booba but she got peak legs

[@8Persephon3]

Inosuke never being able to remember people's names is still one of my favorite things in the show. It's such a small comedic thing but it's great. Also anyone that's genuinely annoyed that you don't necessarily like Zenitsu needs to chill lol we all know how grating his personality can be. it's okay to be frustrated with him and stuff. I personally find his character to be worth it over all that, but I get that he's just too much for some folks. I personally have a hard time with Asta from Black clover. It is what it is lol I believe it was implying in the Mother demon's flashbacks that she likely killed that special person after she turned and doesn't remember anymore.

[@kuro5660]

The reason why Tanjiro and Zenitsu are stronger than other demon slayers is because they were trained by former hashiras. And Inosuke is just built different.

[@chillingstories34]

3 more episodes left for the best episode of S1❤ can't wait

[@13kefka]

13:14 Gon, is that you ?

[@queenidragon4489]

Friendly reminder that a member of the twelve kizuki has a number inscribed on their eye

[@dasarimanoj3086]

Then Luke this anime is going to be your No.1 Anime beating AOT and other animes in your list🔥

[@jamesperrott1]

lmao its obviously not beating AoT

[@WilliamDoheny]

Hate to tell you, Luke but the five survivors of the Final Selection are just the ones who were skilled enough to survive. It has nothing to do with the five senses. It IS just a coincidence. Tanjiro was fully willing to decapitate the mother spider demon with a strong attack but when she was willing to die, he switched to a technique that gave her a painless death. Not only does it speak to Tanjiro’s heart considering how angry he was after she snapped the other demon slayers’ necks but it proves that not all demon slayers were ruthless in their pursuit to destroy evil demons that they created such a technique.

[@pia25]

To answer your question 23:12: there are not many, but it’s the same in Naruto and the fact that Demon Slayer does that too, just made me love the show even more. ❤️ I really hope you will watch it too some day. With Bleach, there are my top 3 Animes ❤

[@SpiritoftheWolf28232]

I just want to point out that, at this point in the story, we know of Mother, Father, and Rui. Not Son, Rui. So far only one of these spider demons has a name.

[@ghostyuki-kfpinquisitor1038]

"That took a turn quite quickly" ...not the best choice of words lol Could say it happened at a breakneck speed /s

[@user-rv7oi3jk7u]

Tanjiro＝Falco（AOT) Zenitsu=Connie (AOT) Sabito=Eren(AOT) Same voice actor!

[@andymason3555]

What I love in this episode is that Tanjiro changed the attack he used in midair he saw that she was sad and wanted to surrender. He switched to a mercy killing attack. She still had to be taken out for killing people, but Tanjiro also showed mercy at the same time. You should have your own opinion of Zenitsu. Doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks. But you will see more of him in the next episode. 😂

[@britneypeyton6291]

Finally caught up with your reactions. I for one love demon Slayer. I don't get what everyone's saying when they say this is basic storyline. And it's only popular cuz it's pretty. First off there wrong it is not pretty it's beautiful and second I couldn't wait So I read the manga. It is one of my favorite, not a basic storyline at all. It only gets better from here

[@Doctor_Yiggles]

Don't worry Luke you have questions about the connection between all those Demons and you will get your answer eventually as the episodes progress. And I also love Inosuke its funny how much he is competitive with Tanjiro that he always has to "beat" him in something like when he saw Tanjiro toss the girl over the tree and he's like "I can do that too!" 😂Enjoying your reactions to this series so much. It is also one of my favorite manga/anime series and glad you are enjoying it so far! And yeah I know you said the past episodes was dark, but seeing those other demonslayers just die in an instant with a snap of the neck is brutal. You are so right though they really make you feel for these demons, but sometimes its hard to remember that they were once humans so it makes sense. I just love Tanjiro so much he immediately saw that she gave up and gave her a painless death.

[@alial6658]

I'm currently watching season 4 as well but I ain't missing a good reaction video from you, goat

[@artisticbang9111]

A 50/50 hate and like keeps characters safe from Luke's curse 😅

[@Wuffskers]

Even as someone who likes demon slayer I do frankly think it is more simple writing when compared to something like Attack on Titan or Vinland Saga, particularly season 2 of Vinland Saga. Aside from often being a bit more compassionate about the villains, for the most part demon slayer is just good guys against bad guys. I definitely feel like I've read or watched plenty of stories that are more morally grey, have more twists and turns, are more difficult to follow, get a bit more deep and philosophical etc. it being simple relatively speaking doesn't have to be a bad thing, like I said I still like it, a simple story doesn't mean a bad story and for that matter a complex story doesn't mean a good story either.

[@natalimoina]

Demon Slayer is 1000x more complex than good guy vs bad guy lmao the what

[@dark_z7540]

Getting closer to episode 19

[@kokodin5895]

even if hashiras don't have special senses you could say they all have some special ability and they all developed unique fighting styles utilising those abilities that being said our trio already have a leg in front "red shirt" demon slayers even being lower level...or tanjiro simply can't check his because they all are abnormal :P but level gap in skills between low ranking slayers and hashira is no joke about the story complexity. demon slayer story is simple. it is a revenge story with threat level increasing fast each time main characters are exposed to the enemy, with little spare time left for recovery and training between the fights. it has start, it has simple goal destroying muzan and it has straight forward rules and power scaling. no big mysteries to solve, everything unfold before you as you watch. it definetelly is not "lost" level of complexity in the main story. but instead it has a very well developed characters, theyre motivations are clear and even vilans are not just straight monsters to punch trough, they all have diverse personalities and goals among the main one serving muzan's immortality reaserch and destroying oposition. if not for backstories of characters it would be much shorter. it is well constructed simple story about complex characters. and it works for this kind of anime pretty well. in essence it just mean it is entartaining anime with pretty low barier of entery. you don't need to learn anything to watch it and understand it,there is no references or hidden easter egs from other anime. you don't need to be weeb to like it... and it has pretty short catchy title too :]

[@flamingdino4972]

I will tell you how the Hashira work after they are all introduced.

[@absolutlyfine]

Hi hi! ⬇️ No spoilers. Safe to read. The 12 moon demons are the strongest demons under the demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji. Other demons which *are* not a part of the kizuki are just weak and do whatever. But every demon has one mission from Kibutsuji that will be revealed sooner or later. There are 6 lower moons. We encountered one already but he was an ex-lower moon which tanjiro kamado successfully defeated. Now, we're about to encounter another which, of course for many purposes not gonna say. And then we have 6 upper moons which normal Slayers can not defeat. Well, that is all I'm going to say. I'm not going to explain about the demon slayer ranks, so let's watch and find out together. ✌️ Also, pay close attention to the Kanji writing in the demons' eyes. Maybe it is a lower or an upper moon. ⬇️ Also, the Breathing techniques we are seeing right now. The thunder breathing and most importantly, the water breathing style. That's the only breathing styles we have seen si far other than the beast breathing. The water flow that we see every time Tanjiro uses it, is certainly not real. It's just an effect. It just shows how swiftly and gently Tanjiro moves, like the water itself. Beast breathing is the most.. natural? It comes from wind breathing so yeah, it's, I think even more aggressive and more animalistic.

[@Alsterie_]

Great video as always, Luke! I enjoy your reaction to Demon Slayer. Important info tho, Tanjiro and Inosuke have different voice actors. In the Japanese version Tanjiro is voiced by Natsuki Hanae, and Inosuke is voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka.

[@Akky_101]

19:43 dude.... *He is gonna pause during hinokami too right?😢* Right guys 😅 seriously guy's he really is gonna pause during most interesting scene on this mountain right? 😅

[@CrossriderBankai23]

Yep it's mess up, this arc it's mess up, but it's peak!!!! 🔥

[@shadow12442]

The next episodes gonna be peak of s1.

[@davidweidemann7275]

Im going to watch it on Patreon, like a Lord. ;-)

[@angramainyu4599]

13:40 What else do you do with tools that no longer function? You discard them and especially since those tools are your enemy in a war between yourself and those who wish to see you destroyed. I don't hold these beliefs but for those asking why or how could they the unfortunate answer is simple to see

[@mackowalk2456]

I personally think that Zenitsu is difficult to like at first time, but the more You watch him, the more You might get fond of him. He's way more complex character, than You think and I like it.😂 Great reaction!😃

[@Red-iu6wu]

you are right that did.. take a turn
