In ancient times, cow dung was used to plaster on the house's floors and walls. Which acts as a natural defense against insects, fungii etc and also keeps the whole house very cool. Especially in summer.

[@MomokaViixiv]

i guess i got sick a lot cause i always get fevers like this where im burning up so badly but im freezing. I feel so cold. I hate that, i also got covid twice and had that happen to me too its horrible. But asthmatic and covid also game me phenomena

[@Birb-Nyx]

The reason muichiros twin was added that way is because muichiro, in present time, still has amnesia and remembered at that time that he had a twin.

[@neonekota]

Thank you. I thought that would have been obvious but I guess not 🤔

[@nicoleh1680]

Yeah exactly this. His interactions with Tanjiro unlocked something in his memories, and then, of course, the near death experience Again with the water trap, helped him remember.

[@angramainyu4599]

You beat me to it and said it better than I could.

[@sunshinesam6399]

Yes, people’s brains can protect themselves with amnesia, especially when they’ve experienced a traumatic event. In this case, Muichiro’s daze and exhaustion and agony after his twin died affected him. He lost everyone he loved at 11, so his mind protected itself with Amnesia. It wasn’t until now that he remembers.

[@atiqahdiyana5665]

Demon slayer is actually a really good dissection of trauma and how it affects each individual differently and how circumstance can drastically change how we cope and whether or not we heal

[@liaoethan1889]

Mu in Muichiro in Kanji which is a system of Japanese writing using Chinese characters is written like “無” that means “having nothing”. So, this is the reason why his brother said Mu in Muichiro stands for incompetence “無能（munou)” and meaningless “無意味(muimi)”. In the end, he also said that Mu actually stands for infinity “無限(mugan)”. Fun Fact: In his brother name “Yuichiro”, Yu actually means “having something” in Kanji. By a Chinese native speaker who can speak Japanese😎

13:39 yes! the japanese built thier houses the way they did so that they would provide the best ventilation and airflow possible, they also planted a lot of tall leafy plants around to provide shade, the richer people would add or build a house around a water feature to have flowing water inside the house. The poorer people would soak tatami mats and hang them from windows and doors so the breeze coming in would be cooled. A lot of these methods are still used today, more people are opting for "greener" methods to live comfortably so there have been many creative iterations on ancient designs, my favorite being a "Tube wall water feature". You choose a place with good airflow, build a wall or patch of clay tubes(fired in a kiln, needs to be able to soak up some water on the surface) oriented to that air flow and have water cascade down from the top over the clay tubes. The air flowing through gets cooled down by the water on the clay tubes. The only issue is the humidity these water methods cause, so most don't use them too often and they make sure to ventilate after use to reduce the chance for mold to develop anywhere. Interesting topic to look into!

[@GOTGames]

Oh this is actually super interesting! Thank you!!

26:44 muichiro is actually extremely fast because his mist breathing is a derivative of wind breathing which emphasizes speed though compare to thunder breathing whose speed is emphasize with the legs, wind breathing’s speed is on rapid opening strikes mist breathing specifically uses baggy clothing to obscure the fast movements confusing the enemy hence the mist theme

[@Daesma999]

spoilers for season 4 that might explain why Sanemi and Muichiro have very similar if not the same training

[@emy8555]

His amnesia absolutely came from the trauma, you're right. Also to answer your question, 32:57, his rage was his instincts (from his ancestors) awakening, kicking in and activating his demon slayer prowess to beat the shit out of that demon (coupled with his rage at always losing people he loves). It was like Mikasa's Ackermann genes awakening to tap into her inner badass warrior. Same concept for Muichiro!

[@KatsudonNoodle]

11:59 I think the reason the twin being mentioned was so sudden and random, is because Muichiro had amnesia, so he only mentioned it when he remembered that he had a twin

[@-1solrak]

Notice how Muichirou without the mark got literally two tapped by non trying Gyokko, and after getting the mark now he is on par or even stronger (You’d have to see) so just keep in mind how much of a buff the Mark is, to the point that Upper 5 is being outpowered

[@TheCourtsOfLove]

Keep in mind Gyokko still isn't technically truly trying, but it's clear Muichiro is on-par with him, they both can't land a true fatal blow, at this rate Gyokko just has to wait for Muichiro to tire and then kill him but it's clear he's not truly trying just getting extremely annoyed

Yea, as you get to know these Hashira, you start to realize that in order to be strong enough to be one, you either have it or you don't. Most of these Hashira went through a do-or-die moment that you just HAVE to have it in you, or you're dead.

[@purvajghude7]

This is definitely a top 7 episode from the entire series for me. Its way too beautiful.

[@janeberhardt8302]

About the 'mu' in Muichiro: It’s a prefix meaning 'in' or 'non'. His brother said it’s coming from 'munou' (incompetence) or 'muimi' (nonsensical). In the end he says he was wrong and that it’s actually coming from 'mugen' (infinite; yes that’s the same mugen as from the train). Fun fact, Muzans name also has the same character, 'muzan' meaning merciless. The 'yu' from his brothers name Yuichiro is the polar opposite, e.g. 'yuunou' means competent / talented (think of Yuno from Black Clover) or 'yuugen' (finite)

[@Silly_Ah_Girl]

Yes Luke, this episode is so heartbreaking, I LITERALLY cried before the backstory even showed up because it's one of the backstories that makes me cry the most, the speech that Yuichiro said to Muichiro before dying was so well made that it makes me tear up every single time, God, this anime is a masterpiece, I can't wait for the last season and to continue watching your reactions, you're one of the few reactors that I feel like really connect with the serie their watching, you will get to see more of the characters, don't worry, for now just enjoy the present episodes, they are so good GAAAAAHHH ❤❤❤

[@jorgitosilva]

The reason why she has an open style shirt is that whoever designed the uniform gave that to both her and Shinobu... Shinobu did not like it and asked them to remake hers but mitsuri was too shy and did not dare ask them to change hers so she kept wearing it...

[@Wyrd-Oh]

9:00 While there hadn't been any explicit stating of such up to this point, there was the scene where Ubuyashiki (the Master) was exclaiming about an upper rank being defeated finally and when the priestess with him calls to the children to come help, they call him "Father" and they all look like the priestess, so it was signposting it pretty hard

[@AmritEmperor123]

In India, we use mud and wet soil to cool the floors. Even now, in many villages, people carry this tradition. It also keeps insects away, and you get a bonus room freshener. In case of any special occasion, we do that in the cities too.

[@han-ek8pm]

as i live in japan, ppl said that splashing water on the ground would cool ur house down bcs the temperature would go down a bit, for example like the waste water u used for bath. also, japanese ppl has been telling horror stories during summer to make u feel the fear and chills down to ur spine. then, theres this japanese wind chimes they hang outside their house during summer, if it rings it means that theres wind and it helps ur mind to think that its not that hot bcs theres wind. and esp in kyoto, architecture was designed so that wind could easily enter ur house

[@AmandaSwainston]

Muichiro: "No that isn't right.. I had a twin." You: "LIAR! HALLUCINATIONS 😡"

[@CSM_Kobeni]

13:30 Wet things like towels/clothing, wet the floor outside for evaporation, casement on windows, but my favorite two: roof gardens (on top of house having vegitation) and architectural designs (having walls that allow flow of wind). I learned these two from my ancient amerian college course.

[@UlsterHound77]

Yes, people had old forms of keeping cool. The Persians and Arabs built towers that wind flowed into and the wind would flow over flowing water, which would cool it, allowing cold air to enter a building.

[@Doctor_Yiggles]

I knew you would love Muichiro, Luke! He's such a great character and although was very blunt and harsh at the start of our first encounter with him and Tanjiro he's grown as a character as well as learning about his past really gets you to understand him. As well as him rediscovering his memories really helps build up the character that he actually is! One of my favorite Hashiras and so happy we get so much about him in this episode one of my favorites for this season! He honestly has that main protagonist aura about him! 😄And yes you were correct on who was whom at the end of who was speaking and I suppose the way it was shot did definitely make it confusing, but for anime purposes I guess it was to add an effect to the scene. Correct that Muchiro lived and I would've found it a bit confusing if I didn't read the manga, so I could see why it was confusing.

[@FuFightersStudio]

The reason why Muichiro suddenly said "Oh I have a twin" is cuz he is actively remembering his past in real time. Up to that very moment he want aware of it so the twin had no role in the story. There are tons of ways to passively cool a house that can even be used today (and in Europe we often use some of these when its too hot those few days a year). The most simple method is to produce a breeze by having two openings for air circulation, then you put a wet sheet over. The water cools the air as it flows. In other areas people would just live in places that wouldnt get hot like chinese mudcaves. Romans had a sort of AC using water flowing in pipes within the walls. There are many other methods and I have no idea if there is anything specific to Japan in particular. Having trees for shade around also helps. Closed off shady courtyards as well. Yeah Muichiro is in fact Muichiro, there is no odd swap or anything - I wish this was double episode ngl :D Amnesia can for sure come from trauma. Hell its normal coping mechanism. When a woman gives birth they will get amnesia about the process so that they are willing to go through the pain again for example.

[@sviatshekh157]

About the room cooling question) I've never been in Japan, but I was in Qatar. People there from ancient times used the lattice boxes outside the windows. There was a rag soaked with water in these boxes. When the water evaporated, it took away the heat, so the air that passed through this box into the room was cooler. You can see such carved boxes on the outside of the walls of all classical Arabic buildings. This will not work with the humid heat, though...

[@theaccountant3261]

There are 2 moments in this episode that never failed to chill me. First when muichiros twin said that in truth the mu in muichiro stands for infinity and the second is the whole sequence of the second flashback, when the dead yuichiro says for the sake of someone other than yourself you (muichiro) can exert infinite strength... the story-telling, music, action everything.. that whole sequence is gold!

[@liaartist3671]

No no, the "happy" twin was muichiro. The angry one is dead

[@YukiFubuki.]

im not sure if you caught it but ‘mu’ in japanese kanji does actually mean ‘nothingness/emptiness’ or ‘void’, however the japanese kanji for ‘infinity’ pronounced ‘mugen’ (same mugen in mugen/infinity train) does use the very same ‘mu’ kanji too from nothing comes everything, beautifully poetic

In India we use hand fans made by palm leaves to cool down ourselves.

Those people were literally called "fan men" they would do shifts to swing the fans in the royal chambers 24/7

In ancient China, some rich people might use a “closet” filled with ice and it has tons of small holes on each side for summer. It’s mostly just as same size as a regular two door refrigerator, and it also can place some fruits inside with ice to keep it fresh and cool. This “Ice boxes” are only used by very rich families or people, since the ice is very expensive during summer.

It's just like how Tanjiro's family speaks to him. In Demon Slayer the dead can come and visit during times of need.

[@AracneMusic]

13:41 Well, in Spain for example (very hot summers) the old houses were built to have good ventilation and using materials that don't let that much heat in. In the south (the hottest region) they painted the outer walls white with lime so it reflected the sun better. Also, patios used to have (and some sometimes still do) some sort of fountain, I think that's heritage from arabs being in the peninsula for 8 centuries, so in places that are even hotter, like the north of Africa, they must have had similar techniques.

[@iPenguie]

To answer your question. Yes Luke, there are ancient methods to cool down. It's called drinking water. A technique long forgotten. Perhaps one day someone will learn this ancient practice and we can start using it modern times. A man can dream. Oh and also, humans evolved to sweat as a method of cooling down. Our sweat evaporates on our skin creating most which is meant to cool us down when we're hot

[@orabijuu8550]

muichiro and genya was remembering stuffs bec they are in death's door. just like what Shinobu said in s1, and the same happened to tamjiro inosuke and zenitsu, that's why it felt out of nowhere similar to inosukes missing memory of him as a baby and her mother letting him go

[@nstorm2415]

Back in the day your only option when it came to ambient temperature was to suck it up. Being able to heat up a place was easy, you just needed some fire. But cooling a house on a hot area was almost impossible without technology.

[@biazacha]

Certain materials would bring some relief like using mud to build your walls, also keep an open pot with water near your head while you sleep helps. Sleeping on the floor is fresher cause hot air goes up. There’s a bunch of things people used to, and still do in more remote places, so suck it up is more of a modern way to deal with it when we lack AC lol

[@Dawson_Nate]

Passive heating/cooling techniques in buildings. We still use the same old techniques for controlling the thermal environment in buildings and urban spaces. I once entered an old house with a court and a few wind catchers and thick stone double walls and it was wayyyyy better than having an AC in any modern building.

I'm unsure about the west or other places, but many African homes resorted to houses made from mud/clay, they're very effective at regulating temperature. Manual hand fans would have helped when people were more active during the day too.

Oh yeah, burning up cold is wild. I had it happen once, literally running a fever but I was bundled up in sweaters and blankets b/c I was shaking like a leaf cause I felt cold. Like full body trembles. Not from covid(cause it predated it by a few years), dunno what it was, a short bug ig cause i was better in a few days. But that first night, oof. The reason the Yuichiro thing came out of nowhere is cause Muichiro didn't remember him till that moment. He was like 'I was all alone...no wait, I wasn't, because I had my brother'. Remember, he has/had amnesia (b/c trauma) had is just now remembering things. The ending bit is a biiit confusing cause it IS Yuichiro speaking to Muichiro (as a ghost ig) the problem is, they have the same voice actor and he doesn't make much of a distinction between the voices. You are correct, it is the dead brother (Yuichirou) talking to/about the living brother (Muichiro). No secret swaps here.

When something really bad happens in your life, your brain erases those memories if it thinks you will die if you keep thinking about them. I've had a similar experiene with me, In my childhood something really bad happened, which shouldnt happen with any kid But I only remembered it the previous year.

About the cooling of homes, back then it ties strictly to how they build their houses, just look at old houses, preferably houses aged over 100 years old, other than that, seasonal food, and cultural events, makes the weather bare able,

They made ice in desert areas digging and making domes on top, deserts at night are cold enough to make ice in those buildings.

Damn, this is probably the earliest I've been, lmao

I love Muichiro!!! No doubt my favorite character from Demon slayer 🌫🗡🔥

[@Pink-yeti23]

Listen the fights in this season are fantastic and Tanjiro is amazing and the rest of the episodes are mind blowing but this episode is probably still my favorite of this season. Muichiro is my 2nd favorite Hashira; just something about his character I love so much here. You'll love him even more in the next episode. And this episode was beautifully done in telling his story. I also cried.

12:00 if we explain why they are twin, you'll gonna get spoiled, but trust us, there's a reason.

He is one of the quickest hashira with marks

[@kiranthakur8793]

Not really, if u think about what happened in manga

[@DutchDread]

I feel like the twin thing could have been done better honestly. I think it would have been cooler is Muichiro ended up killing the demon to defend yuichiro, with yuichiro surviving instead of Muichiro, and that then Yuichiro takes up Muichiros name and mannerisms as a tribute because Muichiro was actually the strong one and "was the one who should have lived, not me". Would also have been fun if current Muichiro didn't know which of the twins he was because of the amnesia.

[@finanightmare1993]

Yeah, tbh I thought that at first because I was so confused with the speak at himself at the end, lol.

[@iCloud1st]

You are right. Yuichiro is the one who died, it was more like his words from the afterlife.
