❤❤I copied a Japanese netizen's answer (because in Chinese, those words have the same meaning as in Japanese): Let me explain the "Mu" in Muichiro. First things first, we Japanese write it “無”in Chinese characters, and it means no, nothing, or naught in Japanese. In this episode Yuichiro said "The 'Mu' in Muichiro stands for 'incompetence' and 'meaningless'" he also said "the 'Mu' in Muichiro stands for 'Infinity'" at last. In Japanese, each of them are written for"無能-Munou” "無意味-Muimi" and "無限- Mugen" Let's change the word to make it easier to understand. "Incompetence" to "No talent" "Meaningless" to "No meaning" "Infinity" to "No limit" You can see the word "No" in all of them, but it still means negative in first two and positive in another. It is same in Japanese too. Same word in opposite meaning. It's literally playing on words. It's hard to give a 100% accurate explanation in my second language, but I hope it's useful for you to make sense and have fun with Demon Slayer :) sorry for the long sentences by the way
Easily my favorite episode of the season so far!! Regarding the "Mu" in "Muichirou", it's complicated but I'll try to explain it in a simple way. Muichirou's name is written with three characters as: 無一郎 (mu + ichi + rou)... The last two characters combined (ichi+rou) can mean "a man, a young man or a son". This combination is commonly used for boys names. The first character "Mu" (無) means "Nothingness/Emptiness", and when it's combined with other words it can mean something like "Not" or "un-/in-". For example: -[Munou]: "nou" means "competence". "Mu+nou" means "Incompetence". -[Muzan]: "zan" here means "something you feel mercy/pity for". "Mu+zan" means "Merciless". So fitting for M.J right? :) -[Mugen Train]: "gen" here means "limit/end". "Mu+gen" means "Limitless/Infinity". The movie is called "Infinity Train". In the beginning of the episode, Muichirou's brother was telling him" "The Mu in your name is the same Mu used in "Munou" (incompetence) and "Muimi" (meaningless). He was basically telling him: You are "A man with nothing" (no competence, no meaning, etc.), so don't try to become something by helping others or becoming a swordsman, Helping others can only be done by Chosen Ones. At the end though, it was made clear that his brother was saying all that to protect him, and as he dies he said: "The Mu in Muichirou is the same Mu used in "Mugen" (Limitless/Infinity). So basically, Muichirou is "A man with Infinity" or "A man with No Limit". That's why, he is a Chosen One that can help others without limit. This was the last sentence in the episode! This is so beautiful because Muichirou without his memories was truly "a man with Nothing", we were not sensing anything out of him. But now, he is "a man with No Limit". I'm so exited to see this version of him!! I hope it wasn't very long XD.
Muichiro's backstory was way more impactful here in the anime than in the manga. Credit to the direction of this episode and how it expertly portrayed it.
Im learning to read and write japanese and i JUST learned about the character "mu"! I was thinking "worthless isnt true!" Muichiro's boost up was awesome!
It's kinda refreshing seeing the parents didn't get killed by a demon 😂😂 . the prayer for his brother really broke me, damn I'm so tired of crying can we just have a fun backstory
Well samemi kinda did too but there's still someone else in the hashiras whose story isn't shown yet but he did something even more crazy Spoilers in case anyone wondering:- I'm talking about gyomei , this blind mf literally trashed a demon with his bare hands even before he joined the corps
@@thedevilorder he wasn't that big when he did that either , he used to be a random skinny dude back then + yeah he was blind Not to mention he doesn't come from some special family that yoriichi and kokushibo were part of
At the end when the yellow leaves were falling and at the begining of the episode title card background, it is ginko biloba's leaves, which in Japanese culture means the following: "In Japanese decorative art, the ginkgo's distinctive fan-shaped leaf has carried symbolism along with its singular beauty: the ginkgo has been a symbol of longevity (the tree can live for a thousand years) and of a more profound endurance (four ginkgos survived the blast at Hiroshima and are still growing today)."
Is Muichiro about to solo this upper moon? I'm having chills! Just how strong is that lil guy? That "wasted" edit though 🤣 Awesome reaction. The best ❤️
The kanj for the "mu" in Muichiro is "無”；while the kanj for the "Yu" in Yuichiro is "有”. “無”by itself means : none or doesn't have; while"有” by itself means: have Depending on the word following immediately after 無or 有, the context or the meaning can be drastically different. For instance, “能”means ability or power, so "無能”means powerless or inability or incompetence; “限”means the limit, so "無限” means no limit, as in infinity. If you look closely at the Chinese characters for infinity castle, you'll notice it says :無限城”
無一郎 Is to not exist + 1st Son and 有一朗 is existence + 1st son. So I interpret it as Yuichiro being the first born and becoming the son who exists and Muichiro being born second and being considered the lower of the 2 thus not existing. As we can see Yuichiro is the stronger of the two in terms of daily life things.
it all makes sense now, Muichiro saying that he lost his parents and was alone when he was 10 yo , but then paused a bit then corrected himself by saying he was all alone when he was 11 yo, because he had a twin brother who died a year later.....this is just part of him recovering from his memory loss, such a sad backstory.
I liked the little touch with Muichiro's markings, where they're slightly rounder than Tanjiro's. Tanjiro's are meant to be flames, while Muichiro's look like mist
Whoever is animating Gyokko… chef’s kiss. It must be so hard to do such detailed character acting with lips instead of eyebrows. And when Muichiro moves across Gyokko’s front, the eyes move across too. Incredible
finally Muichiro unlocking his demon slayer mark...I got chills....never realised it looks so good in the animated version, the mark pretty much is like boost on swordman physical attributes ( strength, speed, agility, accuracy and so on), well done UFOTABLE, keep it up
A lot of ppl have already explained it but I’ll give it my go to make it simple: 無 Mu negates whatever follows/precedes. It’s the equivalent of un-, in-, non-, -less in English. MUgen is IN-finity, or limit-LESS, UN-limited MUnou is UN-skilled. MUimi is meaning-LESS The Mu in Muichiro, his brother Yuichiro said, is the Mu in Mugen (limitless, unlimited. It speaks to his ability to unleash unlimited power for the sake of someone else, as explained by his brother and father. Muzan is a little different because the word itself derives from Buddhism, meaning : breaking rules without remorse. Today it’s used as “cruel.”
That Boy is Next level! Gyokko may be powerfull with incontables dangerous blood techniques but he wasn't lucky to fight against a prodigy😂 Just look at his suppremacy attitude and those refined yet powerfull breath techniques, I can't even stop watching his movements, The skills! 👁👄👁
I'm gonna say it, I think this episode is my favourite of all Demon Slayer up to now, best backstory over all as it's both pained and understandable, heartbreaking but still understandable.
Dude, when he fanned the sword up and the “destroyer of demons” flashed on the screen and then the piano music gets slow and he says it fits like a glove I had hardcore chills hahaha
Best demon slayer reaction and analysis on CZcams. You guys are the only channel that understood Yuichiro brotherly dynamic with Muichiro. He acted strict to Muichiro because he didn’t want to lose his last family member 😢
僕は日本人です。あなた達のリアクションがとても好きで、お気に入りの1つです。僕はアニメを見た後に、あなた達のリアクションを見るのが習慣になってます😊 I am Japanese. I like your reactions very much and they are one of my favorites. I make it a habit to watch your reactions after watching anime!😊
@Carlie & Ange Muichiro is one of my favorite characters I relate to him a lot even backstory wise sadly can't wait for you guys to see more to come with the series you won't be disappointed trust me
the second highlight of my week other than seeing the new episode. love you guys so much! :) as a manga reader its so much fun seeing your theories because you guys are pretty spot on most of the time, one of my favorite moments is the whole thing about the steam coming off of Reiner and you saying hes the armored titan, and everyone giving you so much shit for it just for you to be right in the end XD
No way y'all put "WASTED" when Muichiro's dad died 😂it cracked me up lmao I'm just so hype for the next ep, that Mist Breathing is probably the best looking breathing technique we've seen so far alongside Sun Breathing 😩🤌☁
無 (mu) in Japanese kanji means nothingnese/none. Yuichiro was saying it came from 無能 (munou) - incompetence 無 none + 能 ability While in reality he revealed that it came from 無限 (mugen) - infinity 無 none + 限 limit Also the 'yū' in Yūichiro is 有 (yuu) can mean existence/limited company/finite
Fun fact: Muichiro was a little nerfed in the anime in this part, in manga he doesn't need from the mark to save Kotetsu and kill the fishes, he never believes he won't make it in time bc he has no strenght bc of the poison, he instantly saves him, kills the fishes by instinct and then gets the mark. Tiny change, but works as a fun fact.
Since last night I was so eagerly waiting for this reaction! Goddamn I love your reactions guys! Always matches my energy! Best reaction for this epi out there! 🙌🏽
I believe the director for this episode was the same for the "Never give up" episode when the final fight with gyutaro and daki happened, insane animation
Akaza wouldn't have tortured the two of them. He'd of done the same thing he tried to do to Tanjiro, kill them outright. Also don't forget, Muichiro literally became a Hashira in *two months* of picking up a sword. So him killing that fodder demon when he was *eleven* isn't all that Surprising (IE, Sanemi did the same thing to his mom/demon)
Someone’s gotta say it. This hairstyle looks so good in Carlie. She always looks gorgeous no matter what hairstyle (i always wonder how pretty she styles her hair and how flattering her make up looks) but this 😩❤️
When i saw you guys posted it clicked in my head that episode 8 is out now 😂. I almost pushed on your video subconsciously 😂😅. I yelled at my hand then went to watch the episode before i saw your reactions hahah.
Btw the japanese word for infinity thats used here is Mugen. (Just like Mugen Train basically meant Infinity Train) Mu stands for Mugen. The word used for incompetence was Munou. And the word used for meaningless was Muimi. They all start with Mu
Interesting point about the manga- the English translations of the “mu in muichiro” scenes, emphasizes that he’s comparing his brothers name to things like “insignificant” or “incompetent”. Usually in English the use of “in” in front of the word leads it to negative connotations. But the “mu in muichiro is the in, in infinity” hits much harder when you pick up on that. (So the anime slips up by just saying the mu in muichiro is infinity, rather than the “in”, in infinity)
The thing is that the names in japanese don't use silent vowels - like in te ,we say it like te in 'taste' but saying it with our tongue on our teeth instead of rolling our tongue. In same way, ma,mi,mu,mo are pronounced like the words maa,mist,moo and monster respectively. In some cases, the vowel u can be silent. There are almost no words which are said normally without vowel except for m/n.
Hi, first of all i'd like to say love the reaction and energy from the both of you. There is an anime i would love to see your reaction. Have heard of an anime called 86? its a anime with the main theme of realism of war. Although its in a semi mecha genre, but its not focus on big mecha fight like the gundam series. Its more focus on its story, insane character development and world building. There is a lot of foreshadowing and symbolism in this anime, not to mention the fantastic music. There are small fight here and there but it was short and straight to the point type and when there's a big fight, its a big epic fight. Its a roller coaster of emotion. It might be start alittle bit slow on the first 2 episode for the build up, but it pick up later in the season. Happy to see you react to it.
“Yu”(有) means “something” while “Mu”(無) means “nothing”. Yuichiro talked shxt about “Mu” in Muichiro stands for “nothing” useful (“無”能, Munou in Japanese, incompetence in English) and ”Mu” in Muichiro stands for “nothing” important (”無”意義, Muimi in Japanese, meaningless in English) Also the true thoughts for Yuichiro to his beloved brother is “ Mu” in Muichiro stands for no limit (“無”限）,mugen in Japanese, infinity in English. Just like Mugen train also been called Infinty train, Mugen castle that been translated into Infinity castle. There is also a funny contrast for the twin. In the old days, Yuichiro is stronger than Muichiro as we can see when they carried woods. But when Muichiro wants to protect someone, he has infinity strength that can been seen from he become a Hashira in two months of practicing sword and also fought with the demon to protect his brother plus had marks to save Kotestu in this episode. This shows “Yu” (有) in Yuichiro stands for finite(“有”限) and “Mu” (無) in Muichiro stands for infinity(“無”限) That’s why Muichiro is the chosen one.
If you notice, whenever a Hashira is first introduced, they are the title card of the episode (ex. for Rengoku and Uzui). Yet for Muichiro it came in very late as to signify that the true mist hashira is finally here (title card for next episode)
About “mu” and “yu”, Muichiro’s name spells out like 無一郎and the character“Mu (無)“ in his name means “to not have” and his twin brother’s name is 有一郎 and “Yu (有) means “to have”. So he said “mu” in Muichiro means meaningless (“無”意義: “to not have” meaning) and incompetent (“無”能: “to not have” talent) but eventually saying infinite (“無”限: “to not have” limit) I wonder if anyone else explained it nicely already, but just in case no one has yet! Always love & thank you for your reactions❤
the "Mu" in "Muichiro". That chapter was drastic and anime potrayed it so well. They made me cry. Great.. xD I such at written Japanese but I do remember mugen and muda, so... 😂😂 HAGANEZUKA THE GOAT!
Muichiro be giving us CHILLS!!
Totally! Can’t wait for the next episodes! Love your reactions as always ❤❤
Literal chills all over the place!

Same word in opposite meaning.
It's literally playing on words.

sorry for the long sentences by the way
Yes l like upper five is badass
Don't let Muichiro’s awesomeness distract you from the fact that Haganezuka now holds a complete victory over an Upper Rank.
Lmao true!!

This was an awesome read! Thanks 🙂 we made the “Mugen Train” infinity connection off camera after the recording lmao 😅
Thank you this explains it well. I was a bit confused while watching the episode
Super helpful explanation, thank you!
Bravo 👏 you explained it very well thank you
Japanese do be creative
The way the sound just STOPPED when the demon entered the house . . .
This became a horror anime. 😳
It gave me chills

I get what you mean. Several points are because manga does not include the impactful music, colors, and voices. ^^
i agree for me in the manga mui vs gyokko was boring maybe bcoz i love hantengu but here this was by far the best episode of season 3
Man... I can't wait to see muichiro talks shit to gyokko 😭😭
No maggots tho
I can't wait Muichiro mocking UM5😂😂 Hope in anime version its gonna be funny too lol
Im learning to read and write japanese and i JUST learned about the character "mu"! I was thinking "worthless isnt true!"
Muichiro's boost up was awesome!
We remembered after recording, the “Mu” in Mugen Train! It also meant Infinity Train I believe. Wish we made that connection whilst filming 😅
@@CarlieAndAnge there's also "ikukan mugen-jo" wich means "infinity castle"

Muichiro legit folded a demon without any breathing techniques with just a hammer and an axe.
Well samemi kinda did too but there's still someone else in the hashiras whose story isn't shown yet but he did something even more crazy

Don't underestimate an Upper Moon.
The kanj for the "mu" in Muichiro is "無”；while the kanj for the "Yu" in Yuichiro is "有”.
“無”by itself means : none or doesn't have; while"有” by itself means: have
Depending on the word following immediately after 無or 有, the context or the meaning can be drastically different.
For instance, “能”means ability or power, so "無能”means powerless or inability or incompetence; “限”means the limit, so "無限” means no limit, as in infinity. If you look closely at the Chinese characters for infinity castle, you'll notice it says :無限城”
無一郎 Is to not exist + 1st Son and 有一朗 is existence + 1st son. So I interpret it as Yuichiro being the first born and becoming the son who exists and Muichiro being born second and being considered the lower of the 2 thus not existing. As we can see Yuichiro is the stronger of the two in terms of daily life things.
7:25 nice, you can see Yuichiro's true intention for being harsh and not helping anyone. To protect Muichiro
Ange: "Muichiro destroyed a demon before he even was a Hashira!"
Tanjiro: "Am I a joke to you?"
bro killed an upper demon before becoming hashira
They were supposed to say without a nichirin sword 😂
Lmao whoops. Forgot about the MC for a minute there 🤣🤣
@@theman1594 Only after Tengen did the main work, Tanjiro had it easier to kill him off. Can’t compare
@@Novel_Fri If I recall correctly, Tanjiro did too against his first demon, exposing it to sunlight. Just a joke anyway, I got what Ange meant 😅

Yes, Tokyo’s arms are small
Yep Fyoko's arms are so tiny
Yep, Nyoko has some strong arms
Zyokos got baby arms!
Yes, bertholoto has the baby hands
A lot of ppl have already explained it but I’ll give it my go to make it simple:
無 Mu negates whatever follows/precedes.
It’s the equivalent of un-, in-, non-, -less in English.
MUgen is IN-finity, or limit-LESS, UN-limited
MUnou is UN-skilled.
MUimi is meaning-LESS

無 none + 能 ability

The word used for incompetence was Munou.
And the word used for meaningless was Muimi.
They all start with Mu
Ange face at 12:57 just screams pure excitement, he just seems so happy at this exact moment
Yep as soon as I heard that OST, instant chills! Favourite part of the season for me 👌🏻
It's about to go down from here on out
While we're on the topic of names with "Mu" in them:
"Muzan" can mean miserable, cruelty, atrocity, and cold-bloodedness :)
The wasted edit was FOUL 😂 Love it
Guys, Akaza does not hurt children or women
Ayeee one of my fav reactor are here
Interesting how the same family tree produced two sets of twins
Interesting point about the manga- the English translations of the “mu in muichiro” scenes, emphasizes that he’s comparing his brothers name to things like “insignificant” or “incompetent”. Usually in English the use of “in” in front of the word leads it to negative connotations. But the “mu in muichiro is the in, in infinity” hits much harder when you pick up on that. (So the anime slips up by just saying the mu in muichiro is infinity, rather than the “in”, in infinity)
The thing is that the names in japanese don't use silent vowels - like in te ,we say it like te in 'taste' but saying it with our tongue on our teeth instead of rolling our tongue. In same way, ma,mi,mu,mo are pronounced like the words maa,mist,moo and monster respectively. In some cases, the vowel u can be silent. There are almost no words which are said normally without vowel except for m/n.
Hi, first of all i'd like to say love the reaction and energy from the both of you.
There is an anime i would love to see your reaction. Have heard of an anime called 86? its a anime with the main theme of realism of war. Although its in a semi mecha genre, but its not focus on big mecha fight like the gundam series. Its more focus on its story, insane character development and world building. There is a lot of foreshadowing and symbolism in this anime, not to mention the fantastic music. There are small fight here and there but it was short and straight to the point type and when there's a big fight, its a big epic fight. Its a roller coaster of emotion. It might be start alittle bit slow on the first 2 episode for the build up, but it pick up later in the season. Happy to see you react to it.
I laughed at the "mu" in Muichiro stands for "Muzan".
30:45 These kinds of discussions and level of understanding are the reasons why I always have a blast watching you two
22:12 “I’m looking forward to the thumbnail” the pressure on Carlie😂😂
Muichiro is the 3rd/4th strongest hashira.
"Man destroyed a demon before he was a demon slayer and held a sword!" you mean.
13:02 I swear Ange you got the same laugh as Gyokko 😂😂
“Yu”(有) means “something” while “Mu”(無) means “nothing”.
Yuichiro talked shxt about “Mu” in Muichiro stands for “nothing” useful (“無”能, Munou in Japanese, incompetence in English) and ”Mu” in Muichiro stands for “nothing” important (”無”意義, Muimi in Japanese, meaningless in English)
Also the true thoughts for Yuichiro to his beloved brother is “ Mu” in Muichiro stands for no limit (“無”限）,mugen in Japanese, infinity in English. Just like Mugen train also been called Infinty train, Mugen castle that been translated into Infinity castle.
There is also a funny contrast for the twin. In the old days, Yuichiro is stronger than Muichiro as we can see when they carried woods.
But when Muichiro wants to protect someone, he has infinity strength that can been seen from he become a Hashira in two months of practicing sword and also fought with the demon to protect his brother plus had marks to save Kotestu in this episode.
This shows “Yu” (有) in Yuichiro stands for finite(“有”限) and “Mu” (無) in Muichiro stands for infinity(“無”限) That’s why Muichiro is the chosen one.
Next episode we're going to observe how a hashira kills an upper moon with trash talk
If you notice, whenever a Hashira is first introduced, they are the title card of the episode (ex. for Rengoku and Uzui). Yet for Muichiro it came in very late as to signify that the true mist hashira is finally here (title card for next episode)
About “mu” and “yu”,
Muichiro’s name spells out like 無一郎and the character“Mu (無)“ in his name means “to not have” and his twin brother’s name is 有一郎 and “Yu (有) means “to have”.
So he said “mu” in Muichiro means meaningless (“無”意義: “to not have” meaning) and incompetent (“無”能: “to not have” talent) but eventually saying infinite (“無”限: “to not have” limit)
I wonder if anyone else explained it nicely already, but just in case no one has yet!
Always love & thank you for your reactions❤
lmao another great thumbnail!
That "wasted" edit when the father fell was a violation 😂
I can't express how much I love you guys, I am so happy to see new uploads from you. Also I can't wait to get paid so I can buy your merch!
"You are one of the chosen one"
that's a line that Akaza said to Rengoku...
The "Mu" in Muichiro is the same "Mu" in Mugen Train ;)
These two reactor are very intelligence..i love wacthing u guys
Here for the guitar cover🫡
07:10
Fucking finally!! Someone used their brains, instead of saying Tanjiro has 300 Million Dads.
Glad you put together that Tanjiro and Muichiro aren't related, many confuse that even when by this point it's clear they're not, so that's great
the editor is hilarious😂
And I'm expecting Carlie and Ange to call Muichiro just "Mui".
the "Mu" in "Muichiro".
That chapter was drastic and anime potrayed it so well. They made me cry. Great.. xD
I such at written Japanese but I do remember mugen and muda, so... 😂😂
HAGANEZUKA THE GOAT!
Muichiro let it slip like Gohan! 💪🏽😤
Everyone can safely say, Upper Moons 3, 2, and 1 are in a class of their own, lol.
