[@VanessassaryEvil]

OH YES. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED THIS SUNDAY.

[@vnnkx]

The thing is, it’s not wether Tanjiro chose his sister or the three villagers, keep in mind that if Hantengu had eaten those villagers he would’ve gained more power (meaning the demon Mitsuri is fighting would’ve too) making it restart back to 0. So is it his sister or everyone else

[@TheHideoutReacts]

I understand that to a point right, cause yeah Hantengu would get a power up from eating those people, but does that really change the circumstances? I mean the sun is up. He shouldnt be able to endlessly fight in the sun right? How long can he do that? Mitsuri might die there but wouldnt hantengu prioritize getting away as opposed to trying to kill more people. - Red

[@vnnkx]

@@TheHideoutReacts Of course! After all the sun is what they’re mostly afraid of, but the upper moon fighting Mitsuri was in the woods where the sun wouldn’t reach, so in other words, Hantengu eating the three villagers would allow the other demon to fight and kill Mitsuri + Genya + potentially getting away! (Let’s remember that the main body was inside the one burning) At least that’s the thought process Tanjiro has and why he’s so doubtful 😔 Also, I heard you guys wanted to have a ranking when it came to the Hashira’s, it’s no spoiler but if you’d prefer to not know you dont have to read what I say below! 1. Gyomei 2. Sanemi 3. Giyuu 4. Obanai 5. Tokito 6. Mitsuri 7. Tengen 8. Rengoku 9. Shinobu

[@shantel903]

⁠@@vnnkx to add on to that. I would only place Rengoku down at the bottom because he didn’t get the chance to awaken his slayer mark. At that point in the story, the only Hashira that could have fought Akaza like he did were Gyomei, Sanemi, & maybe (strong maybe) Giyuu. Also even though the ultimate goal is to save her, Tanjiro’s deal from the very beginning in a way has been to never put his sister’s life over that of a human.

[@mogray90]

I have to respectfully disagree with the commentary at the end. I have finished the manga so I won't spoil anything. If the creator decided to give special attention to each hashira or have them in pairs of two, the story would stretch another 3 or 4 arcs/seasons. There are 9 hashira at the beginning of the show. I'm glad he didn't go that route. 2 major facts have already been established at this point of the show. One, that Tanjiro is the wielder of the very first & most powerful breathing technique. All the other breathing techniques are offshoots of sun breathing, so why wouldn't he be the main focus of the show? And two, the upper moons have not changed in over a century until now but y'all about to find out why they are the big 3(no Kdot). With the exception of Muichiro, a 1 v 1 fight against an upper moon is an undeniable death sentence for a hashira. If the hashira killed all the upper moons, where would Tanjiro's growth & development come from? Loved the reaction though. I just subscribed.

[@TheHideoutReacts]

I appreciate you for being respectful! And I dont think youre necessarily wrong with what youre saying. I think writing the story this way in Terms of Tanjiro being such a main focus is fine and in fact is probably in line with what you'd expect from the genre. We touched a bit more in the discussion that I removed because we talked for like almost 45 minutes so I removed some of it but one of our thoughts was that there were too many hashira and we do wish there were a few less so it would allow to dive deeper into some of their stories. For me I just saw this show having a good potential set up to break the mold of the typical shounen MC and take the story in a different route. Thats not necessarily right or wrong, just depends on how you want the story to go. Its not necessarily about Tanjiro never getting to kill an upper moon and more about spreading the love around. Tanjiro just came off a crazy arc in Entertainment District where he leveld up to an insane degree going head to head with Daki and then assisting Uzui heavily at the end. He got a ton of growth from that arc in my opinion. I think he could have taken more of a backseat in this arc if the author wanted to. It still leaves tons of time for future growth and development. Again there is no right or wrong answer for this particular point. Its just about what you prefer. I just found myself wanting more interaction between the hashira themselves and less interaction with them and Tanjiro specifically. Since last season we had a ton of Tanjiro and hashira interaction. Of course its still Tanjiros story at the end of the day but I think that still leaves room for including a bit more of what I was describing. Again appreciate the discussion and respect. - Red

[@unnirajac8617]

@@TheHideoutReacts. Also demon slayer in one of the few shows that does a great job in giving others characters importance or moments just like the MC. Throughout the show Tanjiro never defeated a 12 kizuki alone. Not even lower moons and he is still not a Hashira level demon slayer not until the final arc. Hashiras are the crucial characters in almost arc in demon slayer. And their team work makes it entertaining. Demon slayer is not like Dragon ball or Naruto where the main character is so damn OP and others are leaps below him.

Please wait for Demon Slayer to be Animated in its entirety. The best thing about it, You will always enjoy rereading/ rewatching it again and again. Most of our questions while we are watching/reading has answers in the upcoming arcs.

[@mxfl6479]

As for the conversation of Saving Nezuko or Saving the Villagers, the problem really wasn't that Hantengu would still have ended up dead after killing the 3 villagers, it was that 3 villagers would have been killed. It's more of the concept of Duty first here, as a slayer he has a duty to save the villagers over his sister, especialy considering her circumstances as a demon, but his attachment to his sister made it impossible to make that choice of duty first.

[@pistazieneis415]

for nezuko to conquer the sun, there is a fanbook that explain (don't worry it isn't a spoiler since it was not mentioned in the manga): Tanjiro's mom made soup quite often using the blue spider lily, we are yet to see the reason Musan can't find the flower. And also it just seem fair to a family that has sun marks since Sumiyoshi was saved by that man, and the kagura dance, to be able to witstand the sun even if becoming a demon

Demon Slayer takes place in the Taisho Era, so around the 1920's. Guns definitely existed. I mean they also have electricity so...

[@wrexgrafix84]

1:54:40 “I wish he would have gotten that note to us couple of days ago.” Well, that Swordsmith’s village was pretty well hidden. The cat probably couldn’t find Tanjiro till he got back to the Butterfly Mansion. 1:55:51 “Hey, it wasn’t only Tanjiro.” Who knows, we are only following Tanjiro’s story. He was the last to leave the Swordsmith’s Village… for all we know, the villagers may have given the others the same grand send off. ^_^ 1:59:45 “I can’t feel any emotion (at Nezuko’s possible death).” Then you may be lacking empathy or you’re watching too much as a KZbinr trying to analyze things rather than follow the story. To be honest, it was hard for me to swallow that Nezuko would die too, but it was also probably part of me not wanting her to die because I love her so much. There was probably a lot of ‘denial’ as part of the factor in refusing to see her dead. But I was more emotional in Tanjiro being able to see her alive and well in the sun. If you can’t get emotional about that, that means you were not invested in the siblings love and drive throughout the whole series. Maybe you were just watching it for the action. If you want to fully enjoy this show, I think you have to love and understand the feelings of the characters too. 2:01:10 It’s illogical for Tanjiro to put the people ahead of Nezuko. His whole point of starting this journey to become a Demon Hunter, was not to help people, it was the turn his sister back into becoming a human. You saw in the Mugen Train movie that he was lamenting how he did not want to pick up the sword and fight… he just wanted to remain a simple charcoal maker and live happily with his big, loving family. Of course, having such a big heart, he wants to save the people too, which was why he was torn and couldn’t make a decision. It’s very human. However, once the decision was made for him, he no longer hesitated and he needed to have the resolve to move forward… as Nezuko’s fist gesture probably was a message for him to stay strong and do what was needed. All that being said, I agree this arc was not as strong or entertaining as Mugen Train and the Entertainment District arc. I think it has to do with the pacing, as you alluded to. It affected both the fight scenes and emotional impact. Several episodes were great though, like the horror of Upper Four allowing himself to get himself beheaded to become the four big emotions, the episode where Tanjiro channels the Bright Red Sword, every episode Mitsuri was in (^_^), and this final episode, for the Nezuko moment and Muzan back story. 2:07:51 Regarding Nezuko conquering the sun being a deus ex machina moment, I don’t think so. Since episode 5 or so of season one, we saw that Nezuko was special, from her sleeping and not needing to eat human blood, Lady Tamayo speculating that her sleeping for two years may have fundamentally changed her demon-ness, Nezuko’s blood demon art being an anti-demon weapon, her evolving to super demon form, etc., she’s shown that she’s special and it’s not a surprise that she can do something like conquer the sun. I was more bothered that Inosuke survived by moving his internal organs… that’s hard for me to accept, lol, but I will because I love the guy, lol. I’ll take any flimsy reason if it means he doesn’t die. Edit: oh, one more thing… Japan has had guns since the 1500s and samurai prominently used guns to fight during the Sengoku (Warring States) period, roughly early 1500s to 1600. During the battle to restore power to the emperor (Meiji Restoration), the Meiji emperor’s army, who used more modernized guns, defeated the Shogunate samurai. This story takes place in the Taisho period, which follows the Meiji period.

[@TheHideoutReacts]

I love long comments! I dont disagree with much of what you said though so I only want to hard on a few of my personal add ons that I can only speak for myself. For not feeling emotion at the Nezuko stuff. Its not that I lack empathy because this very show got me to cry because of Rengokus story. The problem for me is I dont think this part was written well form an immersion sense. Because my immersion is completely broken the second they attempt to Kill nezuko at this point in the story my mind is disconnected. Im not trying to take my self out of the story. The story is taking me out of it. Because for me there is not a possibility of Nezuko dying here it makes it challenging for me to connect to Tanjiros relief afterward when he realizes shes alive. This moment CAN work for me, but its hinged on the fact that I need to be bought in as a viewer that Nezuko actually might be dying, so then I can feel the same relief as Tanjiro does when shes revealed to be alive. Because that first part is disconnected it breaks down the scene for me. This is a scenario that to me can work in the final arc of the show but not here. Because her dying at that point in the show can be believable where as here its really obvious she cannot die for the story to stay afloat. Now this is just how my thoughts work. I dont think its a fair thing to say that if you dont feel emotion from this particular scene that means youre not invested in the Tanjiro and Nezukos relationship. While they arent my favorite characters in the show I still care about them and want them to succeed. For Tanjiros panic attack scene over his choice, I dont disagree with much of what you said. I just think from a writing standpoint allowing him to make the choice, whichever route he chooses allows for more character depth later on when writing him. Even though I think this way is suboptimal, theres nothing really wrong with it. For your point about Inosuke in Entertainment district yeah my biggest problem with Entertainment district (even though i love that arc) is that the way it was written there should have definitely been casualties. As you said the whole moving organs around is WILD lol and the thing at the end with nezuko just saving them from the explosion. I dont mind in general if there are no casualties in an arc, but when you write the circumstances that dire it feels kinda crazy that they all escaped that. I personally like when characters die, especially main ones because it makes the story feel more grounded in reality to me. But I know thats not everyones cup of tea because they dont like their favorite characters dying. But for me it always amplifies the story and gets me more interested. Overall my main thing that makes me sad is everyone expects people to always have a hive mind opinion and just like the same parts of a piece of media. If you have a differing opinion you're insulted. Not everyone is going to like the same parts or like the same things. And thats fine. Unfortunately people take criticism of their favorite shows personally, which Ive never understood but thats just how it is I guess. People also seem to not grasp that just cause you arent vibing with a certain part that doenst mean you still arent enjoying the experience overall. I guess I just wish everyone was more understanding of each other. This wasnt directed at you either just to clarify that. Just something ive noticed in my years of watching anime and making content. Appreciate your contribution to the discussion! - Red

[@JohnboyTheGamer]

I don't think they were lacking empathy. Sometimes you may come across a moment in the show that takes you out of it. I saw other reactors not really feeling it as well. In one reaction video one guy was calling 🧢, and the girl in the video wasn't really reacting to it as well. It's always depending on how it's written. Just like humor some things don't land for everyone. There is definitely no lacking in empathy with these guys when they cried when Rengoku passed away, who we only knew even for a few hours. Nezuko pushing away Tanjiro did help him make a decision, however at that point he didn't have a choice. Having Tanjiro make the choice could have made for something potentially more gripping. Also isn't this show really mostly just action. When family bonds are brought up it's mostly just for a flash back. When showing the sister and brother love it's only Tanjiro and Nezuko. Even then some parts of that bond is missing when Nezuko literally can't talk. Of course we have the cute moments of them together, though its mostly Tanjiro's side. The characters also aren't super deep, and are mostly architypes. To say they may be only watching for action, when during the discussion they ask for more character building, is disingenuous.

[@wrexgrafix84]

@@TheHideoutReacts I agree with you that allowing characters to die, especially for the sake of realism, can add to the story. That is one reason I like anime and (the manga that the anime is adapted from) over American comic books (yeah, they kill characters, but they just bring them back again). When Rengoku was killed off in Mugen Train, that gave us a message that serious things could happen in this show, and it can put the audience on edge, especially in the following Entertainment District arc. I think most of us were dreading another cool Hashira being killed off. I’m glad they didn’t though, because it makes things more unpredictable. It’s possible in the following arcs that there will be character deaths but it won’t be so predictable now that we survived two arcs with no deaths on the Demon Hunter side. I did notice you mentioning before in other videos how you liked when characters died… but personally, I don’t like it so much. While I can rewatch Demon Slayer multiple times, I can’t do the same for JJK, for instance. I feel like it’s become just a trend to kill off characters for shock value, rather than for the sake of driving the story forward. Rengoku’s death had so much more meaning, as his words and spirit inspire the other characters and us, the viewers, I think. I also agree that sometimes the fandom reacts too harshly, as some act like they’re being personally insulted when someone says something bad about their favorite character (like all those guys who were pissed that reactors that got angry about Sanemi Shinazugawa stabbing Nezuko). My comment about your lack of empathy does not come from me feeling like you’re insulting the show or a character… it just seems like you’re less empathetic about all the characters in general… it’s like you’re watching the show from a distance. Yes, you got emotional over Rengoku’s death, but it’s hard not to, if you’re human. I forget, were you moved in episode 19 when Tanjiro and his sister fought together in spirit to defeat Rui? To me, it’s perfectly fine to have different opinions, insights, perspectives, etc. That’s why I watch your reactions, along with many others who have entirely different reactions. I just responded because you guys specifically asked the audience if they felt emotional over the Nezuko scene in the final battle. So you can take my 2 cents and add it to the data pool as a part of a glimpse of how others felt.

[@TheHideoutReacts]

So for me in terms of death in shows I like it, but not just for the sake of it. It depends on how its written. A lot of it boils down to the circumstance that you've wrote your characters into and the stakes at hand. Thats why I was more so questioning Entertainment district in that regard because of the way it was portrayed as mentioned earlier it feels like someone *should* die there because of the scenario the author wrote. I dont "need" someone to die in that arc just for the sake of it, but the circumstances the author wrote with insouke being pierced right in the chest and the explosion of gyutaros last stand being literally right next to tengen and tanjiro seems to demand that someone die. I think a few small changes to those two parts change up the circumstance a lot and makes it so that its not as unrealistic that we all survived. Thats also why I liked how Mugen train was handled so much because the situation and circumstance that was presented suggests that the "reality" is someone is going to die here. Going head to head with lower one directly into Akaza is ROUGH. And our main crew wasnt as trained up as later in the story so theyre of no use to help Rengoku. The situation is paid off appropriately. In Swordsmith arc I think my only real problem with "death" is the way the author wrote Muichiros situation entrapped in the water prison. But that all boils down to whether you find the overconfident cocky troupe annoying or not. For me I do, so to see Gyokko just leave and not ensure Muichiro dies is annoying but thats a personal preference on your opinion of that trait. Id like to point out that after having watched Mugen train myself I watched quite a few other peoples reactions and there were people who were not crying at Rengokus death or the scenes involving it. I say that to say everyone reacts to things differently. I dont necessarily think its a guarantee that youre supposed to cry or emotionally connect to that scene. We all experience emotions differently. Id also like to point out that empathy doesnt have to be only centered around sadness or sorrow. I empathized with a bunch of other character moments in the show that arent necessarily about sadness. Empathizing with Tanjiros anger and rage for example, or Zenitsus fear in season 1. Episode 19 from season 1 is probably a top 3 episode for me in the entire series off the top of my head. Again I thank you for having the discussion and I respect that youre able to do so respectfully. Not everyone is able to do that so I really appreciate that you care about the subject matter and are willing to type up in such detail! I could ramble all day cause I just like discussing things with people and seeing others perspectives so I can relate to you in that regard. - Red

To tell you the truth tev’s commentary kept ruining the reaction for me I’m not trying to be rude but it was really hard to watch with listening to his commentary

[@l0velessoul]

This season was more about character development and what the Hashira are capable of doing with the mark. The objective was not to demonstrate the power of these two Upper Moons (which are really powerful), it was to show the power of the most powerful swordsmen of the corporation with mark. If for some reason you had doubts about how Tokito defeated Gyokko with the seventh form, here I leave extra information that was not shown in the anime. By the way, the seventh form is Tokito's unique creation, refined and very difficult to dodge, he knew that he could not face Gyokko true form in melee due to the ability to convert everything in fish. "Seventh form, obscuring clods: a movement-based technique designed to heavily disorientate the target, which is done so by fluctuating the user's tempo. When the user appears before the target, they move incredibly slow, but then accelerate to blistering speeds before getting hit, making it seem like they disappeared into a cloud of mist. When done repeatedly, it can disorientate the target to the point of making them think they are being covered in a thick layer of mist".

[@TheHideoutReacts]

For your first paragraph point, my response is Why cant they do both? I think Hantengu was handled pretty well all things considered and got a decent amount of power shown off (and i think that has a lot to do with the fact that its because Hantengu mostly involved Tanjiro and co where as Gyokko is only paired with Muichiro so he gets the short end of the stick). Gyokko felt really lacking to me personally and I wish they could have done more. In my honest opinion they made him seem kind of stupid with how he was fighting and the decisions he was making. You could call it being cocky but its just not a good way to handle it for me. I appreciate the extra info on Muichiro as by the end of the arc i liked him and I wasnt really feeling him at the start of the arc. I wish he got to have even more moments though, but i suspect since he is a descendant of legendary swordsman and defeated an upper moon by himself with no help basically that he will get more big parts to play in the coming seasons. - Red

[@l0velessoul]

@@TheHideoutReacts Honestly I would have liked to see more of these two UMs, there is some information out there that says that the creator of Kimetsu had to rush the entire plot due to family complications. Gyokko's humanity and arrogance led him to lose in that way, letting himself be carried away by insults to his work of art was a fatal mistake. I should also clarify that Ufotable did not want to put "love" at all in this fight, for example, Gyokko's attack "War Scales", in the manga, is a chaotic attack where he moves in all directions destroying several forest trees in the process, in the anime this attack was super lame. Ufotable definitely wanted to praise Tokito, which is not entirely bad, since as I mentioned, his seventh form + the mark is very OP. Do you remember the final battle of Gyutaro vs Uzui? This battle was original content from Ufotable, in the manga after Uzui activates his technique, he lunges at Gyutaro's neck, Tanjiro follows him and it's done.

[@l0velessoul]

@@TheHideoutReacts It is also worth mentioning that Gyokko and Hantengu are two trickster demons, whose blood demon art consists of traps, physical exhaustion, poison, paralyzing, drowning, among other things. They are not very skilled in hand-to-hand combat (although Gyokko in his true form is very dangerous). They rely more on their blood demon art, which is worthy of their ranks within the hierarchy, due to the wide variety. Gyutaro, despite being an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, only had his sickles of blood and poison, nothing more.

[@TheHideoutReacts]

That is sad about the complications of the author. Hopefully they are doing okay now. I have become more sympathetic over the past years for manga authors because they are under extreme pressure especially with big series like this so some thigns are understandable. Ultimately I dont blame the author when they are being crunched to exhaustion. It is just unfortunate circumstance. This arc does feel very rushed in some ways tbh. Interesting that you point out Ufotable chose to hold back some of Gyokkos power. I think that is a weird decision honestly but maybe they felt like they didnt have enough runtime in the season im not sure. The final battle of Gyutaro and Uzui is literally my favorite moment of demon slayer. I was really on the edge watching that and they did a fantastic job. I knew following that up was going to be hard because of how good it was. This season still has some high moments like the sun halo dragon Head dance. But that final fight of season 2 is some of the most fun i had watching anime in recent memory. Its unfortunate when sharing personal opinion on stuff that others become very angry towards you when you dont share the same opinion about something they like. Just because we dont like this arc as much as Entertainment district doesnt mean we didnt have fun. For me personally it was still a fun ride with just lower lows than the last season. I appreciate you sharing the extra details as well. I like reading the stuff that gets left out and it helps fill in some of the gaps so thank you!

1:34:32 Yes, anyone can learn more breathing techniques but it’s very difficult as breathing techniques heavily relies on the rhythm of the breath and compatibility. each techniques have different forms and different breathing rhythm. which could prove difficult if they are not used to it. muscle memory plays big part here. that’s why character in this show stick to the “master at one thing” instead of “jack of all trade” mindset. People also tends to stick with what they are good at or what they are used to. If I’m asking you to write something with your left hand when you are righty. you would be like “why would I even bother to train my left hand when I could just write with my right hand and get the same result” Oh.. and a lot of people think Tanjiro did an arsepull here. It is not an arsepull. In SS2 EP1 (not counting Mugen Train EP) Rengoku’s Father tells us that Sun breathing is the first breathing ever created. It is the foundation of every breathing techniques. every other techniques are derived from Sun breathing. it makes sense why Tanjiro can use Thunder breathing. even though he’s not as good as Zenitsu.

that dude ruin the reaction

[@Simply_Eli]

“Wish we would’ve got that note a couple of days ago?” Like bro wtf that’s literally the highlight of the story…. finding out she conquered the sun…. & The story is about tanjiro finding a cure for his sister so of course they’re going to be the main focus on their journey 🙄

[@TheHideoutReacts]

Tis a joke bro bro. - TEV

1:52:34 You will know why 😂❤🔥

[@innocuousalias6632]

I think nezuko's changes all stem from her refusing to eat humans. Resisting the sun wasn't even the first thing. Her ability to regenerate and hulk out are both things a demon shouldn't be able to do without eating. I think it goes back to the hidden potential of the medicine Muzan was taking 1000 years ago. That potion only makes you more of what you already are and he was a POS. Nezuko was slowly purging Muzan's cells from her body leaving whatever this kind of "demon" is without Muzan's influence.

[@unnirajac8617]

It’s because their mother fed them Blue spider lilly when they were children. It’s simple

@@unnirajac8617 what

[@echochan9492]

not just 3 people, if upper 4 eats the human , back to strength, he will go to escape and gone , all villagers will dies, love hashira will die too.... will lose everything , and no more chance to win the demon without weapon

[@kartikverma1006]

The blue spider Lily is a special type of flower that only blooms in sunlight in specific places that is why muzan and his demons never found it Also tanjiro's mother used to make a type of drink with the blue spider Lily and give it to her children that is why she was able to conquer the sun and become a perfect demon

[@juutakaster]

did you just drop a blue spider lily spoiler for the swordsmith arc comment section

[@sparquinn]

When I first watched season 3 I really enjoyed it, and I still do really like it but now that I've re-watched it a few times I realized how garbage the pacing is :'( It just kinda feels all over the place, especially with how they would cut back and forth between each fight kinda sporadically and at weird moments, also the fact that it's super stretched out. Like a ton of people mention how long Muichiro is in the water prison for, but literally it's just the pacing making it seem so much longer than it actually was. Like yeah he was in there longer than a normal person could have been but this seemed to make it look like he was stuck in there for like 3 episodes where in reality he was probably only stuck in there for 15 minutes. Also it does a horrible job showing how the fights are going on at around the same time. It makes it feel like all of it is not happening at about the same times.

[@natalimoina]

Y'all really are not paying any attention. Like Nezuko conquering the sun is literally what the story has been building to since episode 1 of season 1. And Tanjiro show? What? Y'all not watching Demon Slayer, but Monster Defeater lmao.

[@TheHideoutReacts]

Im not really understanding your points? The entire goal of the show is for Tanjiro to turn his sister back into a human of course, thats why its completely obvious that shes not going to die here. Because the show has no emotional plot left to stand on if she was killed at this point. Im really not sure what youre trying to say honestly. That doesnt make what happened here with Nezuko executed well. And yes, the Tanjiro show. Im not sure how you can argue so far that it hasnt been when hes been the one to secure most of the vital moments in the show. He got the most screen time vs Daki by far and even though Uzui lead the charge Tanjiro was the one to behead Gyutaro. Tanjiro also has way more screen time and vital moments in this season than anyone else and puts in a large amount of the work vs hantengu and again is the one to behead him. Yes the backstory moments in this season are reserved for Mitsuri and Muichiro because of course they have to be since we need to know about them. Our point is we think Tanjiro is too heavily involved in the show and that he could have taken more of a backseat in this arc. Now if youre one of the people that just love when the main character does everything and is always the shining light thats fine. You dont need to agree with that statement but to not understand what were saying just seems to be that youre mad cause we dont have the same opinion. - Red

[@JohnboyTheGamer]

Oh yeah you're right. But wrong show. What you're talking about isn't Demon Slayer, but rather Early Riser. Where the goal is to get night owl Nezuka into a good sleep schedule.

[@natalimoina]

@@TheHideoutReacts Yes, you know she's not gonna die because it wouldn't be good writing and it is instead good writing to have her complete her character arc in this climax that's been building since episode 1, the very beginning of the story. That y'all haven't even understood it seems. And yes, a main character will have more screen time than other characters, that's how stories work. Demon Slayer gives tons of screen time to every other character in proportion though, there's really no way to argue otherwise considering how much focus everyone else gets in comparison. Anyways, there are a bunch of other problems too and this is seeming pretty disingenuous, imma just stop here and go.

[@ReikokuXTaifuu]

@@TheHideoutReacts "Because the show has no emotional plot left to stand on if she was killed at this point" I mean... is rage not an emotion? Tanjiro fucking hates Kibutsuji for killing his family and turning Nezuko into a demon. You think if Nezuko died that Tanjiro would just go "Oh well, I guess I'll stop being a demon slayer and give up on avenging my family now"? What happened with Nezuko here is executed just fine. She, as a demon, valued human lives over her own. She IS a demon slayer, she has the same duty as Tanjiro to protect the innocent and slay demons. Her kicking Tanjiro off of her shows that she's still more "human" and much more special than all the other demons. If she died at that scene, there would still be plenty of emotion left in the show. "Now if youre one of the people that just love when the main character does everything and is always the shining light thats fine" Tanjiro... doesn't do everything though? He couldn't beat Rui on his own, he couldn't beat Enmu on his own, he couldn't beat Daki or Gyutaro on his own, AND now he couldn't beat Hantengu on his own. Just because he dealt the final blow in some of those battles doesn't mean he did EVERYTHING. He literally would've been dead in season 1 if he was alone. And he's the main character, the story is ABOUT him. Of course he's heavily involved in each arc. I can understand wanting more character development and focus on other characters like the Hashira, but imagine if other shows gave backstories and multiple episodes of focus on every single side character. Like imagine Dragonball Z having an entire arc dedicated to what Yamcha was up to after Goku defeated Frieza on Namek. Imagine if My Hero had 2 episodes of focus on every single Class 1A member, or an entire arc on Mineta and Deku wasn't involved. lol

[@gamerjohn4645]

​@ReikokuXTaifuu Ikr, this black dude thinks this is DragonBall Z where people dying have no mean I think that where he lacks emotion himself. I actually like the other two reaction better the black dude is annoying with his "where's the causalty" or where the fighting and death type of thing. They can keep the black dude out I just want the other two reaction only

[@LoveByNicole]

I wish Mappa would've actually took the time to explain Yoriichi's role.. cause everybody is mistaking him for Upper Moon 1. In Demon Slayer. First people was thinking it was Tanjiro's dad

[@unnirajac8617]

Bro it’s Ufotable not Mappa. And they didn’t make this story. It was created by a Manga artist.
