@@nabhan749if you can’t understand the stressful kind of situation he was going through here, then you have ZERO ground to decide whether or not he’s a good protagonist. He’s human
Up until now Muzan wanted Tanjiro dead, but he was no where near his highest priority. Now Tanjiro and Nezuko are his NUMBER 1 priority... im scared...
fan theory was that since the pot demon sells his pots for muzan someone from the village unknowingly bought one of his pots and brought it to the village
Tanjiro did basically use Thunderclap and Flash but that's not the same move that Zenitsu can only use twice before his legs give out. The one that Zenitsu uses that does that is called Thunderclap and Flash: Godlike Speed. I believe only he can use that move since he honed the form to the absolute limit.
@@timothy1871 I mean you literally see the lightning effect when he first did it. But the second time it was more similar to flame/sun breathing as he basically created his own version of Kyojuro’s 9th form Rengoku
Hantengu's first 4 separate forms are based on a 4 syllable idiom in the Japanese Language, KiDoAiRaku, which is meant to represent the full range of Emotions a Human experiences. Ki(Joy)-Do(Anger)-Ai(Sadness)-Raku(Pleasure), this is why they were present as forms. Zohakuten as Hate was just the form of what Hantengu wanted for himself a strong young man who takes pity on and defends the supposed "virtuous weakling old man". Hantengu is actually in life a man who was a criminal and a compulsive liar, he had married several times and started several families until accused of dishonesty and presented to kill his family among other acts he committed in life. Hantengu has lied so much about himself, he has both forgotten who he even really is not even his real name and fully convinced himself he's this giant weakling who hasn't committed any heinous acts and everyone is just out to accuse him and punish him for no reason or anything he has done wasn't his fault. His resentment side was based on his resentment that people were trying to make him face responsibility and pay for the terrible things he's factually done and he himself denies having done or being responsible for, he resents them for not having pity on him. And at his core he's just a coward, hence why fear is his main body.
Exactly this. It felt much better than the typical "good guy turns bad after a lot of abuse". Not sure why Micky thinks the "bullied until evil" approach was better. Its such a basic formula for bad guys these days..
34:58 No, Nezuko is not under Muzan control like all the other demons. He can not know where she is or read her mind. The demon doctor and the demon she almost cured also broke the bond with Muzan.
Which is weird that they're marketing it that way considering the arc is only a few chapters long and people are really interested in the arc after that
It doesn’t explain it very well just yet but Genya doesn’t have any demon in him at all. I’ve seen a lot of people thinking he’s like a half demon half human hybrid when in fact he’s completely human but sometimes he eats a demons flesh which in turn allows him to temporarily take on demonic traits and abilities….which is still pretty badass if you ask me, especially when combined with the Shotty 😅
@@LukaNyan a few reasons I guess. For a start Genya cannot use breathing styles but his drive to be a demon slayer to be accepted by Sanemi drove him to unconventional methods of slaying demons. Also I imagine that a lot of demon slayers would not only be repulsed at the thought of even considering to consume demon flesh but at the very least would take some form of moral issue with it. Furthermore I think it’s like a unique "gimmick" to Genya’s character to help him have his own sense of identity within a very individualistic cast of characters.
The thing is Tanjiro is pure and so kind hearted. Making the choice of saving his sister or the villagers is never easy for someone like him. That's the kind of character he is
Think about it, Tanjiro inherited the Hinokami Kagura from his father. Meanwhile Nezuko has a fire-like Demon blood art that only affects demons. I think it’s safe to say that they both inherited certain attributes of “sun breathing” from their father in a sense, Tanjiro as a demon slayer and Nezuko as a demon who wields a sun-like power and hence is also immune to the sun. Not to mention she has been resisting Muzan’s demon blood since ep 1 and slowly evolving and gaining more control over her mind and body, as Tamayo mentioned that her blood is constantly changing. Nezuko has always been different, she was a pure soul who lived a happy life with a loving family so she wasn’t corrupted by Muzan like other demons were.
@@michaelblake746 it doesn’t tho. Breathing is used for all kinds of things like stengthening your body, your muscles, your endurance, even healing/stopping injuries like Rengoku taught Tanjiro. Even if it wasn’t in combat, Tanjuro practiced the Hinokami Kagura dance his whole life and using the breathing techniques
to be precise I think the blue spider lily that Muzan was looking for was ingested by Nezuko once, since the Kamado family used to live in the mountain side, when Nezuko was infected by blood, it mixed with the blue spider lily giving her the ability to conquer the sun.
I think he saw her through Hantengu. Or maybe Hantengu relayed that message to him about nezuko right before he died. He did say “Good work Hantengu” right after he found out about nezuko
After I watched Demon Slayer up to the end kf the Entertainment District arc, I decided to read the Demon Slayer manga, so I knew what was gonna happen. Didn't make the end of this arc hurt any less. 😭😭
Once again shoutout to my man Yoichiro for managing to almost kill Muzan back then. Imagine how much power you would need to make the unhinged Muzan scared of you!
I like that this demon’s past reveals himself to be a true monster with a victim mentality and no sense of responsibility. Normally they don’t show anything with demons who are just bad, this is the first time they just a person so. Both this guy and Muzan.
Every slayers body is built for a certain breath style. The most recent mention of this I can think of in the anime so far is Tanjiro realizing he'll never be a master at water breathing and saying sun breathing just feels better to his body. Anybody can do any breathing but if they don't use the style their body is made for they won't ever be able to become a master of said breath.(eg. Tanjiro and water breathing) That's why offshoots (mist,serpent,love,sound, flower) were created. The creators learned one of the main 5, it didn't feel right and they modified and built upon their foundation. This is why I always say no breathings inherently superior to another. Even sun breathing isn't that special if you ignore Yorrichi being the 1st user, that guy can make any breathing style look like the ultimate breath style.
For more context, what Tanjiro did in this ep with thunder is no different than when he combined water and sun last season, he used the basics of water breathing (being adaptable) he learned from Urokodaki and applied it and modified his sun breathing to make it easier on his injured body. Anybody can do this and this is how multiple styles are created.
I liked Mitsuri's backstory and I prefer that it was different from the usual we get (although Rengoku and Uzui also had unique backstories as well). I wouldn't boil her backstory down to just "I want a man, I want to get married" as at the core of it was wanting to find acceptance for who she was without having to change herself to be apart of society. As everything about her wen't against the norm (especially during a period of time where women had even more pressure to uphold certain values, behaviours and beliefs and would eventually be forced to succumb to conformity). Her character based on this is a lot more relatable to me & if you want another female character that has the usual tragic backstory we also have Shinobu or Kanao to look to
Something i dont think people think about is that, and its never really brought up ever, but if clothing could protect a Demon from the Sun, dont you think Muzan would just completely cover his body all of the time? I dont think just covering Nezuko with clothes would do anything to help her.
I thought the clothes of a demon (at least in this show) were basically an extension of their body, which is why they regenerate with the rest of their body. So, clothing wouldn’t really do anything.
imagine being Tanjiro receiving the letter from the demon doctor lady "Hey it won't be long until Nezuko can be out in the sunlight" and then he looks over at Nezuko and thinks "she already has, geeze would've been nice to receive this letter before I got all worried that she had died in the sunlight"
Knowing she might gain immunity from sunlight in the future doesn’t say when. Not to mention that she was literally burning before she kicked him away, so he wouldn’t know it would trigger at the time.
I’ve been looking thru the comments, but haven’t seen anyone talk about it. So basically muzan created demons so that they could find the blue spider lily for him. By getting that flower he could negate the vulnerability to the sun. Now since Nezuko has conquered the sun he wants to absorb her so that he can walk in the sun and become the perfect demon king.
people seem to forget, since Sun Breathing is the ROOT of all breathing, it makes sense that techniques for other breathing can be adapted to use with it as it contains elements of every style.
In the last discussion Mickey said he miss the desperation and Demon Slayer hered it. I knew what's gonna happen cause I read the manga but it still got me 😭 this was my favorite moment in the whole demon Slayer and Ufotable nailed it. I don't have any idea how Demon Slayer mange to do this everytime
As a manga reader. Altough i know it's going to happen. They added the montages of kamado's siblings and a beautiful soundtrack when nezuko kick tanjiro, made me shed a tears 😭. very well done ufotable.
Muzan can see through the other demons. What Jerri’s Nezuko safe is how she is so often inside the box or asleep unless they’re actively fighting demons. Also if you notice that last bit of medicine the doctor made got soaked in his blood. That’s probably what gave him that cracking for blood
When Nezuko had he flashbacks I was thinking how her life flashing before her eyes weren't from the time when she was a human. Especially with so many fight scenes in the flashbacks, it read to me more like reflecting on what they've been doing all since she was turned a demon; risking their lifes to save others. It gives a nice contrast for Nezuko who is not burned by the sun when willing to sacrifice herself and Muzan who goes "All I had to do is massacre people to survive" and whom Amaterasu wants to make a bbq out of in every second of Muzans life
Keep in mind that Muzan is ultimately a very selfish person, all he wants is to live forever as the strongest. So he created more demons only to help him with that purpose, to find the Blue Spider Lily and to gain power. But if he can conquer the sun by eating Nezuko, he no longer needs to share power with other demons.
My understanding of the "thunder breathing" stuff is that he's not actually using thunder breathing but a trait associated with it, which is total concentration breathing to strengthen the legs so you can go faster. Whether that's still considered using thunder breathing I can accept (they did use the animation after all) but it's not a thunder breathing *form* and most definitely isn't godlike speed, which is what Zen was able to do twice last season that Suraj thought Tanjiro did here (and even if he used it, it wouldn't mean he can also use it twice).
Micky is legit the only personal I've heard to say he wish Hantengu would have yet another sad backstory...but then dude says he never gave a shit about backstories....the fuck? Most people agree it's refreshing that we were allowed to despite hantengu
Wasn't Micky the one complaining back in S1 how the story was getting repetitive with giving a demon a sad backstory after Tanjiro kills them? It's weird how now he wants a sad flashback...
people seem to forget, since Sun Breathing is the ROOT of all breathing, it makes sense that techniques for other breathing can be adapted to use with it as it contains elements of every style. He didnt "switch" to thunder breathing in that scene
Mickey: This show is predictable and we know what's going to happen Also Mickey: They switched up the demon's backstory and it would've been cool if they tried to make you feel bad for him like they did most of the other demons
Muzan doesn't care about losing numbers. He only created demons so there could potentially be someone who could overcome the sun and now that a demon did it he has no need to create anymore.
For additional context, the Blue Spider lily only blooms during they daytime and only 2-3 days per year. When it's not in bloom, it resembles a common weed.
Tanjiro had his Rengoku moment this episode. Also, it's pretty obvious that the slayers can use other slaying techniques, especially if they've mastered total concentration. The only reason they might not do it is probably out of devotion for their teachers and their craft.
@@KallaTheYapper347 Sort of but it has been mentioned before in the anime once or twice that all breathing styles came from one before. Remember when rengoku's dad was cursing out tanjiro calling him that breath user who thinks he is above all others or something?
Genya isn't a demon at all. He just pulled a reverse uno on the demons and ate their flesh instead, which makes him temporarily inherit some of their powers. Nezuko is full demon, but her body has mutated in such a way that not even Muzan's has, which allows her to withstand the sun. Muzan became a demon through a combination of his disease and the Blue Spider Lily mutating his body. Also, Hantengu had multiple personality disorder. He would commit crimes, but deny them such a degree that he basically gave form to multiple personalities to bastion himself from the responsibility. The only real tragedy of his backstory was that he existed in a time where mental illness wasn't really as well understood and so he just became more and more deluded in his own lies.
The villagers are the people that make the swords for the whole demon slayer corps, they are extra important. Tangiro wouldn't live with himself if he let people die when he could have saved them, he is not a selfish person.
idk, bro. choosing over your only family member you have left over a couple of strangers is just not easy, especially if you're a hero who saves everyone like tanjiro. if it were me, i would choose nezuko over some strangers, tbh.
@TheNormies In the manga when Tnjiro beheads Hantengu he reports to Muzan before he disappears. Thats why Muzan says good job Hantengu in the reading room
But everyone will still keep complaining about Demon Slayer being too simple and lacking substance despite not understanding even the simplest most surface level parts of the series (much less the much deeper aspects present all throughout the series). 😮💨
@@natalimoina I did pay attention he’s one of the most generic shonen villains I’ve seen in a minute. Both these demons felt like fodder despite somehow being stronger than the last.
@@Karma-pq9fi My advice is actually to pay attention to the characters rather than writing them off for no reason. They're both fantastic and very unique.
Tanjiro was the first demon slayer to see muzan in hundreds of years, was a major factor in the first upper moon being slain in 113 years and killed another uppermoon like 3 months later...lmao mans needed that recognition
I’m sorry but there’s no way y’all actually think mitsuri and genya are gonna be a thing lmao😭She’s 19 and he’s 16 that’s never going to happen. She’s obviously being built up to be with snake guy💀
While I do agree with how it's obvious Mitsuri is being paired with Obanai, it is set in the early 1900's so big age gaps wasn't seen as a big deal back then. For example the master Ubayashiki was only 13 when he married his wife Amane who was 17. Uzui was like 15 and Suma around 11 when they married so 😐
Hantegus story is perfect and we’re not meant to feel sorry for him . He is a coward and always blames others and used his emotions to justify and pass blame which eventually became his clones. He is like gyokko and have no regrets just being the victim.
Eu tô morrendo com o Pat jogando um inseto em cima da Navi e ela olhando para ele de rabo de olho depois de perceber o que ele fez hahahahahahah Acho que se não estivessem gravando, ele ia apanhar
I think the demons backstory wasn't just that he was a murderer and a thief, but also had a personality disorder of some kind. His claims that his hands would do things without him wanting them too, claiming he was blind when it was obviously wasn't, that all could have been lies, but I think it was implying that he actually believed that. To have his demon split up in a different emotions/personalities.
Muzon 100% doesn't care about replenishing demons. He never wanted demons to take over, he only wants himself to be the perfect creature. Creature. Every single demon he's ever sired was simply an experiment searching for the perfect body to absorb for himself. At least that's what I gathered from the way he was talking.
Muzan becoming a demon is unintentional. The physician is supposed to use to blue spider lily to turn him back to human after becoming demon. But muzan thought that the blue spider lily is supposed to make him immune to the sun.
Genya is NOT getting with the love hashira. He’s a teenager and she’s an adult. The age difference isn’t huge but it’s not gonna happen. “Stop it” - Shannon Sharpe.
@@enjoys.trollingshittyreactors They always think they know who’s being set up with who. Like wym “the shows been setting them up” like no they haven’t 😭
The point of Hantengu was basically that he's always been wretched and evil, BUT always making excuses for his actuons and never taking responsibility for them. And ultimately Tanjiro made him pay for it all and make him see he was always horrible even as a human being. He's wants people to feel sorry for him but he's objectively awful.
I cant tell if this is exactly it, but it seems like Hantengu's backstory wasnt that he was a con-man and a thief and a murderer. It was that he had multiple personality disorder, and that his main personality was the quiet, blind old man who would never hurt a soul. And he would have other personalities that would cause havoc or steal or kill people. The main personality truly didnt do anything wrong and believed himself innocent and frail and undeserving of the punishments he was getting, and was fearful of all the people that "picked on him for no reason". He just didnt know that he had other personalities or that they did those things, and when he became a demon, those multiple personalities became his Blood Demon Art. So the main body was still the tiny scaredy cat that truly believed he was innocent, and he probably was, he literally never attacked or fought back in any way, he always ran and cried about never doing anything wrong himself.
You weren't meant to sympathize with Hantengu's backstory. He was a mischievous old man who murdered and stole from the blind and pretended that his actions were never his own. His blood demon art, "Emotional Manifestation" allowed him to avoid any responsibilities even as a demon. He hid and pretended to be helpless while his emotions fight on his behalf.
I think you guys misunderstood Muzan's flashback. The medicine didn't turn Muzan into a demon it was preventing him from being one. When he was taking the medicine, he could go out in the sun and was weak, which stopped when the doctor was killed.
I legitimately thought Nezuko was gonna go, first time I cried at an anime, and i did as soon as she kicked him up in the air. This season and last were outstanding.
Tomayo just never wanted to make other demons. She gave Yushiro a choice and he accepted. Upper Moons can transform humans into demons if the person accepts and Muzan accepts. Muzan can read the minds of other demons, but he cannot influence the actions of those that have escaped his control. Gyokko found the Swordsmith village on his own, it's never explained how
i read somewhere that one of the villagers bought one of the Gyokko's pots and brought it back to the village, as he can teleport from one pot to another he found the village in the process.
To clarify 35:20, the demons got there by the vase, the vase are expensive at that time and considered luxury items, so the 5th upper demon just spread as much vase throughout Japan in these 100+years, eventually one of the villagers found one and brought back to the sword village(since it is considered a luxury item, people tend to collect or keep it), which makes the demon able to teleport and find the village. For Nezuko, the blood is not connected like other demons. Like the lady demon doctor(Tamayo) said, her blood is special, the person they cured is out of Muzan's control, Nezuko is as well. Muzan noticed she conquered the sun through the feels of the 4th upper demon. If Muzan knows her location all along, then he doesn't need to send demons after him in Season 1, he could just ambush the butterfly mansion or even the master's mansion(which is another location he is searching hundreds of years), no point waiting, since we could notice most of the time he is out of patience. Demon Slayer's animation is really top notch, looking forward to the 4th season reactions. Great reaction guys, keep it up!!👍
Informational tip: Genya isn’t a demon at all 👀. He revealed as he bit through the wood dragon that he has a special ability to take on the traits of a demon when he eats demon flesh. Just an ability not a demon.
35:18 gyokko knew about the village before nezoko got there 35:36 other demons can create demons by sharing blood 37:34 that's a nice way to interpret it but it was said in the episode that the the reason was her special blood
I think if muzan conquers the sun he will be immune to even the swords of the demon slayers cz the swords absorb the sun energy to be able to cut demons
Woulde be funny if the reason Nezuko can withstand sunlight is because her mom used to cook stir-fried blue spider lily fo the whole family to eat :)))
I was fine with Hantengu's flashback as it made sense for his character & what we had seen from him so far. During the flashback we kept seeing how he had a habit of constantly playing the victim and blaming everything else for his problems (his hands are to blame, he couldn't have done it he's blind) instead of owning up to his own actions. Which I feel is also expressed in his own abilities as well - his 4 emotions take the lead and are the ones who fight and kill people so they are to blame for what happens, as the main body is not the one killing/attacking anyone and can remain in a crying pitiful state while they do his dirty work. Zohakuten who later appears even backs up Hantengu's beliefs by labeling him as a small weak creature that only evil people would dare to harm. And while I do enjoy the demons backstory it was also refreshing to have one that shows that they were just shitty all their lives (like how Mitsuri's flashback juxtaposed with Muichiro's was different/less sad)

to be precise I think the blue spider lily that Muzan was looking for was ingested by Nezuko once, since the Kamado family used to live in the mountain side, when Nezuko was infected by blood, it mixed with the blue spider lily giving her the ability to conquer the sun.
Not only nezuko but tanjiro withstand sun
He will become the new demon king who conquered the sun
I think he saw her through Hantengu. Or maybe Hantengu relayed that message to him about nezuko right before he died. He did say “Good work Hantengu” right after he found out about nezuko
Haganezuka said its only the first stage because remember the technique takes 3 days to restore it
The way Muzan just walks out of the room with precisely -100,000 f--ks to give got me laughing.
After I watched Demon Slayer up to the end kf the Entertainment District arc, I decided to read the Demon Slayer manga, so I knew what was gonna happen.
Didn't make the end of this arc hurt any less. 😭😭
The flashback for hantengu was to show he kept running away from his crimes.
Once again shoutout to my man Yoichiro for managing to almost kill Muzan back then. Imagine how much power you would need to make the unhinged Muzan scared of you!
i mean, he is more powerful than muzan. muzan is the 2nd strongest character in the kny universe, after yoriichi.
I like that this demon’s past reveals himself to be a true monster with a victim mentality and no sense of responsibility. Normally they don’t show anything with demons who are just bad, this is the first time they just a person so. Both this guy and Muzan.
The reason Tanjiro was panicking was because he knew if he let the villagers die the Hantengu would get his strength back and could kill them easily
Every slayers body is built for a certain breath style. The most recent mention of this I can think of in the anime so far is Tanjiro realizing he'll never be a master at water breathing and saying sun breathing just feels better to his body.
Anybody can do any breathing but if they don't use the style their body is made for they won't ever be able to become a master of said breath.(eg. Tanjiro and water breathing)
That's why offshoots (mist,serpent,love,sound, flower) were created. The creators learned one of the main 5, it didn't feel right and they modified and built upon their foundation. This is why I always say no breathings inherently superior to another. Even sun breathing isn't that special if you ignore Yorrichi being the 1st user, that guy can make any breathing style look like the ultimate breath style.
For more context, what Tanjiro did in this ep with thunder is no different than when he combined water and sun last season, he used the basics of water breathing (being adaptable) he learned from Urokodaki and applied it and modified his sun breathing to make it easier on his injured body. Anybody can do this and this is how multiple styles are created.
bro, sun breathing is definitely the most superior, whether it's yoriichi or not.
@@odysseus2k1 What exactly does it do that other style's cant?
I liked Mitsuri's backstory and I prefer that it was different from the usual we get (although Rengoku and Uzui also had unique backstories as well). I wouldn't boil her backstory down to just "I want a man, I want to get married" as at the core of it was wanting to find acceptance for who she was without having to change herself to be apart of society. As everything about her wen't against the norm (especially during a period of time where women had even more pressure to uphold certain values, behaviours and beliefs and would eventually be forced to succumb to conformity). Her character based on this is a lot more relatable to me & if you want another female character that has the usual tragic backstory we also have Shinobu or Kanao to look to
Something i dont think people think about is that, and its never really brought up ever, but if clothing could protect a Demon from the Sun, dont you think Muzan would just completely cover his body all of the time? I dont think just covering Nezuko with clothes would do anything to help her.
Vampire's basically
I thought the clothes of a demon (at least in this show) were basically an extension of their body, which is why they regenerate with the rest of their body.
So, clothing wouldn’t really do anything.
imagine being Tanjiro receiving the letter from the demon doctor lady "Hey it won't be long until Nezuko can be out in the sunlight" and then he looks over at Nezuko and thinks "she already has, geeze would've been nice to receive this letter before I got all worried that she had died in the sunlight"
Knowing she might gain immunity from sunlight in the future doesn’t say when. Not to mention that she was literally burning before she kicked him away, so he wouldn’t know it would trigger at the time.
I’ve been looking thru the comments, but haven’t seen anyone talk about it. So basically muzan created demons so that they could find the blue spider lily for him. By getting that flower he could negate the vulnerability to the sun. Now since Nezuko has conquered the sun he wants to absorb her so that he can walk in the sun and become the perfect demon king.
Tanjiro didn’t actually do thunder breathing. He just did the speed thing Zenitsu does. He didn’t do an actual breath.
people seem to forget, since Sun Breathing is the ROOT of all breathing, it makes sense that techniques for other breathing can be adapted to use with it as it contains elements of every style.
A backstory doesnt necessarily have to make you feel bad about the demon, its his story thats all
Genya said last episode he gains power by eating demon flesh soo he isn't a demon
In the last discussion Mickey said he miss the desperation and Demon Slayer hered it. I knew what's gonna happen cause I read the manga but it still got me 😭 this was my favorite moment in the whole demon Slayer and Ufotable nailed it. I don't have any idea how Demon Slayer mange to do this everytime
the bug than the side eye 🤣
Lmfao.😂
As a manga reader. Altough i know it's going to happen. They added the montages of kamado's siblings and a beautiful soundtrack when nezuko kick tanjiro, made me shed a tears 😭. very well done ufotable.
sucks that the normies cut of like 80% of that scenes and we didn't get to see their reactions😪
Muzan can see through the other demons. What Jerri’s Nezuko safe is how she is so often inside the box or asleep unless they’re actively fighting demons. Also if you notice that last bit of medicine the doctor made got soaked in his blood. That’s probably what gave him that cracking for blood
Didn’t Nezuko break out of Muzan’s control so he can’t watch her? Like with Tamayo.
When Nezuko had he flashbacks I was thinking how her life flashing before her eyes weren't from the time when she was a human. Especially with so many fight scenes in the flashbacks, it read to me more like reflecting on what they've been doing all since she was turned a demon; risking their lifes to save others. It gives a nice contrast for Nezuko who is not burned by the sun when willing to sacrifice herself and Muzan who goes "All I had to do is massacre people to survive" and whom Amaterasu wants to make a bbq out of in every second of Muzans life
Keep in mind that Muzan is ultimately a very selfish person, all he wants is to live forever as the strongest. So he created more demons only to help him with that purpose, to find the Blue Spider Lily and to gain power. But if he can conquer the sun by eating Nezuko, he no longer needs to share power with other demons.
My understanding of the "thunder breathing" stuff is that he's not actually using thunder breathing but a trait associated with it, which is total concentration breathing to strengthen the legs so you can go faster. Whether that's still considered using thunder breathing I can accept (they did use the animation after all) but it's not a thunder breathing *form* and most definitely isn't godlike speed, which is what Zen was able to do twice last season that Suraj thought Tanjiro did here (and even if he used it, it wouldn't mean he can also use it twice).
Holy water works with that Nezuko scene. TBH I went through so many emotions in seconds
Micky is legit the only personal I've heard to say he wish Hantengu would have yet another sad backstory...but then dude says he never gave a shit about backstories....the fuck? Most people agree it's refreshing that we were allowed to despite hantengu
Wasn't Micky the one complaining back in S1 how the story was getting repetitive with giving a demon a sad backstory after Tanjiro kills them? It's weird how now he wants a sad flashback...
Him doing different breathing styles like lightning breathing was sooo dope also demon slayer is basically the Resident evil universe lmao
people seem to forget, since Sun Breathing is the ROOT of all breathing, it makes sense that techniques for other breathing can be adapted to use with it as it contains elements of every style. He didnt "switch" to thunder breathing in that scene
Mickey: This show is predictable and we know what's going to happen
Also Mickey: They switched up the demon's backstory and it would've been cool if they tried to make you feel bad for him like they did most of the other demons
it is all predictable. Just pointed out they didn't even put any effort into the demon backstories this season.
Muzan doesn't care about losing numbers. He only created demons so there could potentially be someone who could overcome the sun and now that a demon did it he has no need to create anymore.
I'm pretty sure Tanjiro said the sword would take 3 days to be prepared, and the attack started that night so it really only had ~1/3 of the honing
Wasnt haganezuka also said its not finished yet?
@@PekebunMager yeah, this is was just more of a "how not finished is it?" statement
Btw Genya is 100% human, he just has a unique ability that lets him take on demonic traits by eating demon flesh.
13:00 Just wanna say this wasnt just for visuals Tanjiro could actually see inside his heart.
For additional context, the Blue Spider lily only blooms during they daytime and only 2-3 days per year. When it's not in bloom, it resembles a common weed.
Tanjiro had his Rengoku moment this episode.
Also, it's pretty obvious that the slayers can use other slaying techniques, especially if they've mastered total concentration.
The only reason they might not do it is probably out of devotion for their teachers and their craft.
No it’s cuz Tanjiro is a Sun Breather and every other breathing is derived from Sun breathinf
@@c3p6 Yup. The different breathing styles were created so that people who couldnt do sun breathing could do what their bodies are good at lol
@@Karthig1987 is this evidence from the manga that hasn't shown up in the anime?
@@KallaTheYapper347 Sort of but it has been mentioned before in the anime once or twice that all breathing styles came from one before. Remember when rengoku's dad was cursing out tanjiro calling him that breath user who thinks he is above all others or something?
@@c3p6 No its not anybody can do the basics of any breathing
Genya isn't a demon at all. He just pulled a reverse uno on the demons and ate their flesh instead, which makes him temporarily inherit some of their powers. Nezuko is full demon, but her body has mutated in such a way that not even Muzan's has, which allows her to withstand the sun. Muzan became a demon through a combination of his disease and the Blue Spider Lily mutating his body.
Also, Hantengu had multiple personality disorder. He would commit crimes, but deny them such a degree that he basically gave form to multiple personalities to bastion himself from the responsibility. The only real tragedy of his backstory was that he existed in a time where mental illness wasn't really as well understood and so he just became more and more deluded in his own lies.
That Muzan backstory had some Sin City vibes going on.
The villagers are the people that make the swords for the whole demon slayer corps, they are extra important. Tangiro wouldn't live with himself if he let people die when he could have saved them, he is not a selfish person.
idk, bro. choosing over your only family member you have left over a couple of strangers is just not easy, especially if you're a hero who saves everyone like tanjiro. if it were me, i would choose nezuko over some strangers, tbh.
"Are we gonna meet Tanjiros dad" yea sure, we are gonna meet his dad, a 1000 years before the story takes place xD
@TheNormies In the manga when Tnjiro beheads Hantengu he reports to Muzan before he disappears. Thats why Muzan says good job Hantengu in the reading room
You guys don't understand Hantengu at all (among a lot of other things). It's not that hard to understand.
But everyone will still keep complaining about Demon Slayer being too simple and lacking substance despite not understanding even the simplest most surface level parts of the series (much less the much deeper aspects present all throughout the series). 😮💨
He was a boring villain what more do you need to get?
@@Karma-pq9fi Not if you actually paid attention though. He's very interesting and has a lot of depth.
@@natalimoina I did pay attention he’s one of the most generic shonen villains I’ve seen in a minute. Both these demons felt like fodder despite somehow being stronger than the last.
@@Karma-pq9fi My advice is actually to pay attention to the characters rather than writing them off for no reason. They're both fantastic and very unique.
Tanjiro was the first demon slayer to see muzan in hundreds of years, was a major factor in the first upper moon being slain in 113 years and killed another uppermoon like 3 months later...lmao mans needed that recognition
I’m sorry but there’s no way y’all actually think mitsuri and genya are gonna be a thing lmao😭She’s 19 and he’s 16 that’s never going to happen. She’s obviously being built up to be with snake guy💀
While I do agree with how it's obvious Mitsuri is being paired with Obanai, it is set in the early 1900's so big age gaps wasn't seen as a big deal back then. For example the master Ubayashiki was only 13 when he married his wife Amane who was 17. Uzui was like 15 and Suma around 11 when they married so 😐
@@aliyula9567 ooof I didn’t know about those age gaps sheesh but I guess that’s true
Hantegus story is perfect and we’re not meant to feel sorry for him . He is a coward and always blames others and used his emotions to justify and pass blame which eventually became his clones. He is like gyokko and have no regrets just being the victim.
They watched too much Naruto and it's flashbacks
19:16 - 19:24 I spit my drink out 😂 she like this motha fucka haha
Hantengo appears 😂 criminal offensive side eye 👀😂😂😂
Lmao at Navi's sideye😭😭😭
Lmao It was needed! 😂😂
Eu tô morrendo com o Pat jogando um inseto em cima da Navi e ela olhando para ele de rabo de olho depois de perceber o que ele fez hahahahahahah Acho que se não estivessem gravando, ele ia apanhar
mto bom
siim kkkkk
What was it a roach or something?
@@kaimobley5324 Guess It looked more like a really big ant...
I think the demons backstory wasn't just that he was a murderer and a thief, but also had a personality disorder of some kind. His claims that his hands would do things without him wanting them too, claiming he was blind when it was obviously wasn't, that all could have been lies, but I think it was implying that he actually believed that. To have his demon split up in a different emotions/personalities.
19:17 I am crying😂😂😂😂😂😂 Also, that Heh Heh at 19:32 was on pint😂😂
Muzon 100% doesn't care about replenishing demons. He never wanted demons to take over, he only wants himself to be the perfect creature. Creature. Every single demon he's ever sired was simply an experiment searching for the perfect body to absorb for himself. At least that's what I gathered from the way he was talking.
Muzan becoming a demon is unintentional. The physician is supposed to use to blue spider lily to turn him back to human after becoming demon. But muzan thought that the blue spider lily is supposed to make him immune to the sun.
Genya is NOT getting with the love hashira. He’s a teenager and she’s an adult. The age difference isn’t huge but it’s not gonna happen. “Stop it” - Shannon Sharpe.
They are obsessed
@@enjoys.trollingshittyreactors They always think they know who’s being set up with who. Like wym “the shows been setting them up” like no they haven’t 😭
The point of Hantengu was basically that he's always been wretched and evil, BUT always making excuses for his actuons and never taking responsibility for them. And ultimately Tanjiro made him pay for it all and make him see he was always horrible even as a human being. He's wants people to feel sorry for him but he's objectively awful.
The funniest scene in this episode is Hantengu going: "You don't feel sorry for me at all? Fine, then I'll just crush your f*cking head!!!!"
I cant tell if this is exactly it, but it seems like Hantengu's backstory wasnt that he was a con-man and a thief and a murderer. It was that he had multiple personality disorder, and that his main personality was the quiet, blind old man who would never hurt a soul. And he would have other personalities that would cause havoc or steal or kill people. The main personality truly didnt do anything wrong and believed himself innocent and frail and undeserving of the punishments he was getting, and was fearful of all the people that "picked on him for no reason". He just didnt know that he had other personalities or that they did those things, and when he became a demon, those multiple personalities became his Blood Demon Art. So the main body was still the tiny scaredy cat that truly believed he was innocent, and he probably was, he literally never attacked or fought back in any way, he always ran and cried about never doing anything wrong himself.
You weren't meant to sympathize with Hantengu's backstory. He was a mischievous old man who murdered and stole from the blind and pretended that his actions were never his own. His blood demon art, "Emotional Manifestation" allowed him to avoid any responsibilities even as a demon. He hid and pretended to be helpless while his emotions fight on his behalf.
Bruh they literally show you who's mitsuri's man and y'all gotta insert a teenager genya
I think you guys misunderstood Muzan's flashback. The medicine didn't turn Muzan into a demon it was preventing him from being one. When he was taking the medicine, he could go out in the sun and was weak, which stopped when the doctor was killed.
I legitimately thought Nezuko was gonna go, first time I cried at an anime, and i did as soon as she kicked him up in the air. This season and last were outstanding.
Tomayo just never wanted to make other demons. She gave Yushiro a choice and he accepted. Upper Moons can transform humans into demons if the person accepts and Muzan accepts. Muzan can read the minds of other demons, but he cannot influence the actions of those that have escaped his control. Gyokko found the Swordsmith village on his own, it's never explained how
i read somewhere that one of the villagers bought one of the Gyokko's pots and brought it back to the village, as he can teleport from one pot to another he found the village in the process.
29:04 His back story isnt meant to be sad. its to show how he was a coward or something like that i forgot.
I cackled at the bug getting smacked by Pat towards Navi and the side eye she gave lol
Mitsuri said she wants someone stronger than her. Genya can't even use breathing so it has to be a hashira
Mickey only had complaints in the discussion. Safe to say he didn't enjoy this
To clarify 35:20, the demons got there by the vase, the vase are expensive at that time and considered luxury items, so the 5th upper demon just spread as much vase throughout Japan in these 100+years, eventually one of the villagers found one and brought back to the sword village(since it is considered a luxury item, people tend to collect or keep it), which makes the demon able to teleport and find the village.
For Nezuko, the blood is not connected like other demons. Like the lady demon doctor(Tamayo) said, her blood is special, the person they cured is out of Muzan's control, Nezuko is as well. Muzan noticed she conquered the sun through the feels of the 4th upper demon. If Muzan knows her location all along, then he doesn't need to send demons after him in Season 1, he could just ambush the butterfly mansion or even the master's mansion(which is another location he is searching hundreds of years), no point waiting, since we could notice most of the time he is out of patience.
Demon Slayer's animation is really top notch, looking forward to the 4th season reactions.
Great reaction guys, keep it up!!👍
The bug moment😂
Informational tip: Genya isn’t a demon at all 👀. He revealed as he bit through the wood dragon that he has a special ability to take on the traits of a demon when he eats demon flesh. Just an ability not a demon.
accidentally watched all your demon slayer reactions but it was worth continuing, glad y'all enjoyed it!
Akaza's and Kokushibo's backstories are the exception.
the side eyes i can't 💀💀
35:18 gyokko knew about the village before nezoko got there
35:36 other demons can create demons by sharing blood
37:34 that's a nice way to interpret it but it was said in the episode that the the reason was her special blood
Finally guys...I've BEEN waiting for you guys OMG 😭😭😆😆😆😆
Alright, F the show. Let's talk about that spider @19:15
lmao, Navi stopped herself from chewing pat's head of like twice
The way Pat just brushed it off onto Navi without saying anything 💀
Lmfaooooo ikr no one’s talking about that. The reaction ended for me when I saw that 😂
Pat knocks it to Navi lmao I couldn't believe it. She glanced over twice like did he just flick that on me?
@@thugnastynas1136 SAME lmao I couldn't focus after that
Not them talking about meeting tanjiros dad a thousand years ago 💀
😂😂
Fr he was even born
The fact that she smiled after saying that means she was obviously joking.
Im triggered!!! Lol
I think if muzan conquers the sun he will be immune to even the swords of the demon slayers cz the swords absorb the sun energy to be able to cut demons
Woulde be funny if the reason Nezuko can withstand sunlight is because her mom used to cook stir-fried blue spider lily fo the whole family to eat :)))
LOL 19:15 The Hantengu Attack 🤣🤣🤣🔥
the side eye was killing me
I can’t believe Pat dropped that on her and didn’t even tell her lol
@@JITCompilation i dont think he noticed
I was fine with Hantengu's flashback as it made sense for his character & what we had seen from him so far. During the flashback we kept seeing how he had a habit of constantly playing the victim and blaming everything else for his problems (his hands are to blame, he couldn't have done it he's blind) instead of owning up to his own actions. Which I feel is also expressed in his own abilities as well - his 4 emotions take the lead and are the ones who fight and kill people so they are to blame for what happens, as the main body is not the one killing/attacking anyone and can remain in a crying pitiful state while they do his dirty work. Zohakuten who later appears even backs up Hantengu's beliefs by labeling him as a small weak creature that only evil people would dare to harm. And while I do enjoy the demons backstory it was also refreshing to have one that shows that they were just shitty all their lives (like how Mitsuri's flashback juxtaposed with Muichiro's was different/less sad)
