He turnned both of them the 12 kuzuki have some of Muzans blood in their own blood, so when they give blood to another or their blood mixes with humans they turn as well. This is why theres so many random stray demons on top of the 12 that are strongest and Muzan.
I also like to think that they walk thro the fires of hell together to burn away their sins since they are just made demons because they are victims of Muzan (his blood is what turns a demon and once ur a demon u have his blood in urs so u also can turn others, be it by accident or on purpose thats how Nezuko was turnned she accidentally got some of his blood in her wound.). So hopefully they are reborn differently and in a better life together this backsory always makes me cry no matter how many times i watch it.
She was still alive when they became demons, that save both of them, he couldn't "control" her, just lended his strength to her and borrowed sigh as well as power, but it was her doings, so they were two separated people turned into two demons. As for why were they like that (like you needed to kill both), I don't remember it being explained ever in the manga, my guess is that both were transformed at the same time, together, and he wanted to be like that (to protect her), so he perhaps Muzan himself made them like that, or was by one of the siblings blood demon art that they could be it.
Ume/Daki's voice actress is just amazing!! Pulling our heartstrings everytime she does this emotional scenes. Kurapika and Sinon's VA by the way~ also Gyuutarou's VA is the same as Marco's from AOT and Climb from Overlord believe it or not
For clarification about Nezuko, it's not like she has healing powers. She just can burn demon stuff with her demon art without hurting humans. That's what she did, burn all the poison inside them.
Yeah. I don't know if it was accurately translated that Inosuke's skin started to "heal"... it might well have been. But it was just not the 'best' translation IMO. So many people get confused about this, because of the wording. Another cool thing about Nezuko's Blood Demon Art, is that it doesn't just burn physical demon stuff. As I see it, In Mugen Train, it burned through Tanjiro's dream caused by Lower One's Blood Demon Art and it burned away the falsehoods about Tanjiro's looks, waking him enough to actually be able to reject the dream. Right before that moment, he became aware that he was in a dream, but he was still his 'old' self and not Demon Slayer Tanjiro, so he didn't know what to do about it.
So, Muzan is the only demon who can change people into demons, but because uppermoons have such a high concentration of Muzan’s blood, they are able to turn people into demons by sharing their blood
Yes and specifically muzan needs to accept the exchange, like he said "if he accepts you, you can become demons" his blood is almost like a network and muzan has the password and the 2 factor identification to it, if you share his blood he can choose to accept them as demons or he can destroy them. Shits dope
yeah the demon specifically said if Muzan allows it. so he might share his blood but without Muzans agreement they wouldn't turn into or stay alive as demons. And since he has a connection to almost all the demons he would likely know about it.
not quite, by kokushibo´s own words in the manga, the upper moons can offer muzan´s blood after asking him, through the UM body they are able to share his blood to who they want after recieving permission from him
This is why Daki behaves like such a brat. She never really grew up and matured as a person after she became a demon. She has an adult's body as a demon but her mind and heart remained that of an immature child
In hindsight, you can see the signs that Daki is actually still a 13 year-old girl, the way she's crying when things won't go her way, her childish outlook at the world, the way she runs to her big brother to save her when things get bad.
It wasn't explained in the anime but the reason Daki/Ume stabbed the samurai was because he insulted her brother. They are both upper rank 6, Gyutaro is stronger than her but they work well together. As for how he controls her Gyutaro can close one of his eyes and see all her movements to fight for her and use their attacks in sync, it can also be a weakness though as Gyutaro is protective of his sister. They were both turned into demons after she was burned alive, the scenes after that with her was Gyutaro thinking about the life she could have had if she was raised normally. His only regret was her because she could have turned out differently than him, but even when Gyutaro told her to leave him and go towards the light she didn't want to leave him remembering their promise so they went to hell together. As Tanjiro said people won't forgive them for what they did which is why they need to have each other. The parallels between them and Tanjiro and Nezuko shows that anyone could have become demons if things turned out differently, as well as how Tanjiro views demons seeing them as people who turned out that way instead of just monsters. All demons have Muzan's blood in them the upper ranks are allowed to share his blood with people, but it comes down to Muzan if they become demons or not. The upper ranks can only give blood, Akaza upper 3 tried to turn Rengoku remember. Tengen and his wives made a promise to retire after they defeated an upper rank, so he would have retired even if he didn't lose a hand and an eye.
You know, I never thought about it until Luke questioned if Ume had become Daki or if Daki was created by Gyutaro. I always assumed it was as you said. But, hear me out, an alternative path was if only Gyutaro had become a demon, then ATE Ume and manifested her with his newly found demon powers. That would potentially explain why they have the power to share a body. I dunno, it seems plausible-do you know if it’s ever been confirmed one way or another?
@@BHWu2 Doma said something like, that girl is about to die soon, I'll give you both some blood then if he allows it you can both survive/become demons. So it is confirmed that the both turned into demons, but interesting idea with Gyutaro manifesting his sister because he missed her like with Rui creating a fake family. There are a lot of what ifs and alternate scenarios in the Demon slayer community.
Nezuko setting Tengen on fire infront of his three wives is probably my favorit moment from her, it just makes me laugh my butt off everytime. And Tengen's face, he has gone beyond "Seriously, this is how i die?" and is just done.
Ume was so afraid of fire, but she hung onto her brother even as they matched into hell together. She had the choice to pass on into a happier life, but she didn't even look at the light.
Gyutaro and Ume are my fav demons because they are Tanjiro and Nezuko in everything but name. There are so many parallells between them, right down to one being carried on the other's back while sleeping.
I love how Gyutaro says after killing the samurai, "over one measly eye" and when He and Daki become Demons, he lends her his eye when she needs it. This show has layers and is so well written
Luke, that part about always being TOGETHER, it's important thing. They both, brother and sister, was so much about being together, so when they turn into demons, they literally merge into one being, so now they truly could be together forever. It's very philosophical thing.
Ume (Daki's original name) actually is a reference to the bacterial infection Syphilis, the infection that kills her mother. This basically indirectly confirms her occupation as a low-rank prostitute, who is left unattended to and dead after getting infected. Also, I really enjoy your reactions! I cry every time when I re-watch Demon Slayer, and I am glad that you experience the same with me! :)
I love that Tanjiro meeting Sabito means all this afterlife things, like Rui meeting his parents in hell and these two getting along are ACTUALLY happening
29:43 Yeah this is the parallel between nezuko, tanjro and gyutaro and daki One raised in love, the other raised in hatred One was saved by a human, and the other by the demon Edit: I also love the fact that gyutaro loves his sister despite Ume/Daki was the beautiful one, the favored one or something unlike him who was despised by all people. I love how he wasn't jealous of her and just loves and protects her
25:55 The upper rank Kizukis have Muzan’s permission to recruit people to turn into demons by offering up their blood, which contains Muzan’s blood/cells, but Muzan can still reject them. That’s why that Kizuki said that they can become demons too if HE (Muzan) chooses them.
i really like the symbolizm at the end where they're in the ""afterlife" . gyuutaro was acting mean so she wouldnt follow him into hell, and go "into the light". but in the end she decided to follow him to hell....
I know what you mean Luke they really hit you hard with how much darkness these "demons" lived before they were turned into demons learning their past and how sad it is. The author really makes you feel for these characters. Also in their final moments you can tell they remember their humanistic nature and really make you think about them and not help but feel bad for them. I agree Luke you can definitely see the parallels with Tanjiro & Nezuko who had a loving family and really amazing parents where Ume & her brother didn't.
I don't know if it was mentioned before but there's very strong evidence that as a human Gyutaro suffered from congenital syphilis. The bad teeth, sores, failure to gain weight, irritability etc are all symptoms. Also the kanji for Ume 梅 meaning plum blossom is used in the Japanese word for Syphilis (梅毒 Baidoku )
People always say a certain demon is there favorite tragic backstory, but I don’t think anything will ever top Gyutaro and Daki/Ume for me, because of the connections and similarities I see in myself with Gyutaro. My own little sister and I, we were raised well and had a good life. We didn’t suffer any of the tragedy like these two did, but their bond and story… if… if we were in a similar position to them, I would have done everything the same as Gyutaro. I can’t hate him. I just can’t. And so every time I see this part, I start fucking crying my eyes out like no tomorrow because I can’t help but feel for these two. They really had nothing but each other and had to crawl their way to anything that resembled a better life, only to be robbed! And his scream to the heavens is quite possibly one of the most powerful things I’ve ever heard.
This episode was already heartbreaking when I watched it last year as a mother of a small boy. Now that I gave birth to his little sister it's absolutely devastating to watch.
She still had a chance to go to heaven, because she didn't willingly choose to be a demon, it was forced upon her, and she still chose to burn in hell with her brother, i remember how much i cried with this episode
Probably should be interpreted as the chance to be reborn in a new life in the human realm. Given the context of Gyutaro's comments immediately before reflecting on the possibilities she would have had if she had been born to someone different. In both the cultural context and narrative context that would make more sense.
Ume's and Gyutaro's backstory is so heartbreaking, they had a rough life, everyone treated them badly, and the only one who was "kind" to them was a demon, no wonder why they turned up the way they did, also, to answer your question, yes, Ume was turned into a demon too and them being like one is due to being an Upper moon and having stronger powers that makes them be able to do things like that. I'm happy that even if they went to hell they went together because they really didn't have anyone but themselves in the world ❤.
The first half of this season (Mugen train movie) finished with all of them crying of sadness, but now they're all crying as happiness/relief that they are alive. This was a fantastic season, thanks for reacting Luke.
The sad part is that Gyutaro and Ume's story is often common throughout human history and today's world. Child's that "work" for carteles here in México didn't chose that life. The things they do are awful and horrible, but life didn't give them any chance, and the goverment didn't do its job.
Hey Luke, I've heard so many times why that all the hashira don't go on missions together and I'm you deserve an explanation: it's simple really, after rengokus death there aren't many hashira left and now tengen retired too. The hashira and ubuyashiki estate is an unknown location for the demons, if muzan were to know where they stayed, he would send all the upper moons plus himself to go kill them all. Another reason they don't go on missions together is that there are always many incidents with demons and some too advanced for lower demon slayers to face, leaving those jobs for the hashira, leaving the estate unguarded would provide vulnerability towards the ubuyashiki family and the safety of others, meaning that the other hashira are acting as guards and backup in extreme cases :))
Japan is vast, and Hashira is limited. They are directed to patrol selected areas. We can't blame Iguro for not coming in time to aid Tengen because his patrol area is far from Tengen's (maybe the nearest compared to other Hashira's area).
Thematically - the message is that in real life, a lot of bad people (demons) did not choose to be this way but are the result of the circumstances they were dealt. Tanjiro is the only one who sees this, and it’s the crux of his whole character, what he represents, and what his mission is. He says to the master “i will strike with the sword that will stop the chain of grief”. Child of brightness, he represents the sun. Which in this fictional universe, likely with Shinto influence, the sun is a purifying agent. And the moon is corrupt. The sun kills demons because it judges their actions and brings justice. And bcuz Nezuko never killed anyone as a demon, the sun did not destroy her
@@Timo_The_Watcher I prefer to have the terms correct, Shinobu said that they are strict with the terming when she was talking about Flame and Fire so, I was correcting the word you used.
Your reactions will always standout for me. No over the top stuff just really pure reactions. It really gives the feeling of a great vibe and sometimes even makes u feel like watching the show for the first time again
@@ryanread8617she's born from a sex worker at that district, she's born to be a sex workers by society and trained that way, poor ume didn't have choice
Idc what anyone else says, even the author of the manga. Ume was 13 and about to be sexually assaulted, she defended herself and then was burned alive for it. It’s a more poignant moment for this to the be the case as well, instead of “you talk bad about my brother I stab your eye out with my hair pin”. Again I don’t care even what the author says, in art the viewer/ reader creates their own interpretation, always
Ume never chose to become a demon, her brother chose for her to save her. That's why she was offered the option to go to heaven. Gyutaro chose to become a demon of his own free will, never regretting his choice. That's why he only got the flames of hell.
Ume probably didn't have the option of rebirth in one of the heavenly realms. Considering the scene before was immediately talking about other ways her life could have turned out if she had been born into better families, I feel like it should be interpreted as the possibility of being reborn into a new life in the human world.
@@MadaraUchihaSecondRikudo Though, when you think about it Ume could inflict no greater suffering on him most likely than for him to know she's experiencing the uninterrupted suffering of Avici, the deepest hell, along with him. A hell which from my understanding he technically earned specifically by his malicious intention to kill the buddha that he declared when Ume was dying. Outside of that you have to either maliciously and with specific intention obstruct others in the pursuit of enlightenment or murder your parent or an arhat. It's a pretty exclusive club for that hell. So if she goes with him he can experience not just his own agony but her continuously burning with him which is just going to be worse because of the negative associations he already has with her burning. Which will last until the full fruit of his karmic seeds have been reaped. So that's pretty sad to think about really.
'Rashomon Gashi' was a slum that existed at the eastern end of Yoshiwara. In the past, the western and eastern ends of Yoshiwara were lined with illegal shops called 'Kirimise'. Women working in kirimise are either women who have reached retirement age in the brothel but have not been able to return to their parents' homes and have no prospects for marriage or employment, or prostitutes who have been dismissed from the brothel due to illness from which they are unlikely to recover. Rashomon Gashi was the least safe place in Yoshiwara. The Yoshiwara brothels were of higher status and charge higher prices in the order of 'Omise', 'Nakamise' and 'Komise', and even the lowest 'Komise' was too high for commoners to go to, so most commoners used the 'Kirimise' brothels.
Each brothel employed a male employee to deal with customers when they had a dispute with a prostitute or the shop. His job title was 'Gyutaro 妓夫太郎'. In modern English, a 'bouncer' would be a similar job title. In other words, Gyutaro is not a person's name.
@@user-be2ld8ty6j I'm a history buff, I'm Japanese. My favourite period is the Warring States period, but I also like learning about the popular culture of Edo. I think it's hard to understand what's going on in the entertainment arc if you don't know Japanese history, so I'm writing this in the hope that it will help a little.
Ume/Daki was about to die and that demon offered to make them Demons. They were both turned into demons. That’s how Daki lived this long. They don’t really explain how they have the ability to be one body but I would assume based on the story it’s just part of their abilities of becoming a demon when they were siblings so close. Especially when they made the promise, they were like bunched up in that straw together kinda like one.
The blond guy that turned them into demons used to be uppermoon six but he later became stronger and moved up the ranks, therefore leaving tye uppermoon 6 spot empty which was occupied by Daki and Gyutaro. As for what happened to Daki, she was barely thirteen but that Samurai wanted her to be his wife, therefore in an act of rebellion/ self defence, she stabbed him in the eye with a hairpin. After that she was burned alive. When Gyutaro found her, she was burned to a crisp but she was still alive, barely hanging onto life. So then they both got turned into demons. Gyutaro is tye stronger half and is pretty much tye uppermoon six. Infact Gyutaro apparently had more potential than uppermoon five and four but he was stopped from achieving his full potential due yo his sister holding him back. Around the end, they're in the afterlife where which leads to either hell or a chance at reincarnation. Daki is in her human form because she did not directly choose to become a demon and was instead turned because of her brothers descision. Therefore she had a chance at reincarnation. Meanwhile Gyutaro had willingly become a demon and therefore had no choice but to go to hell. But as you can see, Daki followed him to hell at the end. 33:50 it's because Obanai is one of tge Hashiras on the stronger side, either ranking fourth or third (not confirmed yet) while Uzui supposedly ranks 8. So they have a huge difference in their strength.
This is why upper rank 6 is my favorite of the demons, I think they're such strong characters, I don't think I've ever seen quite such an accurate portrayal of a dysfunctional relationship, how they develop, and how they are expressed. Their death legitimately hit me as hard as Rengokus did. I especially love the scene of their last words on the ground yelling at each other, it especially gives such an amazing insight in dysfunction. Superficially you see someone screaming and insulting someone and you tend to take their words for granted, you wouldn't say those things to someone you love. If you pay attention a bit more you'd notice that it's clearly not meant.....but what's even much more important is the person being yelled at, that's who you should focus on. It's the absolute pain in Gyutarous face when Ume insults him that shows what she means to him that her words hurt him so, it's the pain in Umes face when Gyutarou retaliates that shows how much she loves him. It really is such an amazing portrayal in how traumatic childhoods can lead to toxic ways to express yourself, where you communicate through lies and insults as a defense mechanism, bitterness and anger. Where you never learn how to be loving and positive. It's also an amazing example of why I so hate the concept of hell, I find it so dreadfully immoral. Anyone could have turned out like them, had they been born in there position, meaning that the difference between heaven and hell is just a question of luck, and how can you be in heaven if your brother is suffering in hell? As long as there is a hell there can be no heaven for anyone who actually deserves to be there.
I gotta say, that last scene of our main characters hugging and crying, happy they all survived...it just gets me so emotional 🥲 the relief of everyone being o.k in the end!!!
15:46 if you notice these are the same words gyutaro said to tanjiro in the last episode because he related to him and thought that tanjiro was similar to him.
Rengoku: set your heart ablaze.. Nezuko: set everyone ablaze..😂 (Btw guys im working on Cliffhangers Compilation s2 just wait for it it's gonna be good)
I just thought I'd leave this comment and say please don't let people ruin your perception of season three and four, A large amount of people consider season 2 the best season and say three and four are not good even though they are both great seasons. So just try avoid any negativity. Were all here to watch and enjoy your reactions along the way. Quick edit: The upper moons an make demons like muzan because of how strong they are. Like how upper moon three wanted to turn Rengoku or how last episode Gyutaro wanted to turn Tanjiro,
You are honestly the best anime reactor, your emotions are real, you do not fake your reaction. I am considering becoming a Patreon . Cannot wait for your reaction for season 3.
They're both sharing the title of the Upper rank 6, and Ume (Daki) became a Demon too and shared a strength from Gyutaro Man, you're not ready for the next episode (season 3 episode 1) swordsmith village arc ✨😌
Tengen promised his wives(which was shown during this arc) that he would retire after defeating an Upper Moon. So even if Tengen didn't lose a hand and eye he was always going to either retire after being an Upper Moon or die trying. Tengen's toughest battle was having to be the Hashira that was focused on after how insanely popular Rengoku was and the impact he left. Did Tengen do well to stand out as a personality/mentor figure for the trio? Daki and Gyutaro were both turned into demons but Gyutaro would usually stay dormant within her so he could be close and protect her if needed. They are both Upper Six as a pair but hers is more of an asterisk and Gyutaro is the true Upper Six. She is an in-between power of Lower One and Upper Six as the Upper Six have consistently gotten stronger over the years.
After Mugen Train I didn’t think it would be possible for me to love a hashira as much as Rengoku. But when one handed Tengen pops in last second to save Tanjiro I remember literally throwing my phone across the room and shedding tears. I fucking love Tengen, and I think he stands on his own merit even amongst all the other awesome hashira
@@NobleVagabond2552 He is my favorite. The fact we spent so much time with our trio and him interacting and fighting together versus the others makes him stand out. We spent so little time with Rengoku, unfortunately.
26:14 he literally said "if he chooses you, you can become demons" All demons have the blood of Muzan in them 💀 Any demon can turn anyone into a human but not without Muzan allowing it
All I can really say is that it is as Sakonji Urokodaki says. Demons develop mysterious supernatural powers. Gyutaro had 2 types of demon art, poison and blood manipulation combined together into his technique.
They did both get turned into demons. But Ume never made that choice for herself, so in the end she had a chance to go to the light. She even looked like her human self. But she chose to go with her brother rather than be separated. And Gyutaro didn't look like his human self until he walked into the fire with her. Also, they really twisted the knife on us when the insults being thrown at Gyutaro as a child were the same exact ones he threw at Tanjiro in the previous episode. And now we know why Ume acted the way she did as Daki, the wailing and crying, throwing tantrums. Because she's essentially still a 13 year old. Both of them were still deeply traumatized and because of how demons are, hurt a lot of people to try to make up for their misfortune. Been enjoying the reaction, excited for the next season!
I love this episode so much gyutaro and daki are my favourite demon so far by miles there backstory is just devastating and its heartbreaking especially the afterlife scene it gets me every time
Nezuko right at the start gave me such chills! Love her so much! Such a great season! Looking forward to your journey as we go into the next season and continue this adventure into Demon Slayer! I enjoy your genuine first time reactions Luke even when you feel you don't think you are "reacting enough" I feel that both your facial expressions and commentary is also part of your reactions that I enjoy so much! Keep it up! Love all your videos! 💖
basically both were turned into demons and gutaro was main uper six but to keep gutaro satisfied muzan gave both of them the rank of uper six so that he stays in control and dont revolt
So the thing about Daki and the crossroads is- she never had a choice in becoming a demon. Gyutaro made that choice for her, so when he told her to go away into the light- it was because she could have "gone to heaven" but she chose not to, because she wanted to be with her big brother. As for why they are two in one i assume it's because they share blood or because they allowed each other to absorb the other without assimilating them into themselves.
I'm so glad that you got to see this through. It is like the springboard to hope. Now you get to to mee the youngest hashira in Muichiro and the loveable, but zany hashira in Mitsuri.
Gyutaro and Ume has the worst and the most tragic backstory. They never had a single happy moment, it was a constant battle against the world, even in death, Ume had the chance to rest in piece, since she is innocent cause it was her brother who choose to become a demon for her, but she choose to go to hell with him. I feel really sad for them, they never where happy...
FIRST!! This season is by far my favourite, but the next two are also good! If you’re proud of the main trio now, you’re in for a ride! Imagine if they killed off Insouke or Uzui in this episode, like it would’ve been such a slap in the face 😭. Like imagine you’re so happy that everyone’s alive and the upperanks are dead, and then Inosuke and Uzui dies 😭 Thank goodness for Nezuko! “He hasn’t collected the blood!” *Two seconds later* “He got the blood!” The Luke Curse of saying something and then it immediately happening is still intact 😭
The more you think about it, the more obvious the parallels b/w Tanjiro and Gyutaro become. Both were poor, big brothers who worked to feed the family. Both were out for work when disaster struck. Difference being the circumstances, one saved by a Hashira and other by a Demon
second time daki (ume)'s crying hit me again... what a nice voice acting she is... Now next destination is Blacksmith Village Arc and of course you know demon slayer right on every cliffhanger 😂
I am a Japan fan of Demon Slayer. In the unofficial ranking of the most favorite demons chosen by fans of Japan Demon Slayer, Gyutaro and Daki were 8th and 6th among demons following Muzan. After all, there are many fans who sympathize with them when they were human. As a result, many fans who have read all of the completed Demon Slayer manga participate, so unexpected demons rank high in anime.
i do belive that this is the best season of demon slayer and the next 2 seasons are not even close to be as good as this was. the emotions and story telling, the ending and the fact that againts all the chances we did got a happy ending. cant wait u to see season 3 episode 1. ill need popcorn for that one !
The demons in demon slayer are humans who have been hurt most of their lives or are on the verge of death. All upper moon can give demon blood to humans to become demons but if you want to become a demon, you have to be the chosen one, whether you can or not depends on the human.
I was over the moon when I heard the Upper Moon's voice. I so wanted him to be voiced either by Miyano Mamoru or Yuki Ono and they didn't disappoint 😄 he's pretty cool, ngl. Anyway congrats! You survived Entertainment District arc with all limbs 😂😁 Now onto the next arc!
Exactly what happened with Daki also being upper six isn’t fully explained but we can get a good idea from context clues and other information. The demon that helped turned Gyutaro also helped to turn Daki, as he mentioned that he’d give both of them blood and told Gyutaro that she would die soon to encourage his willingness to transform. Daki was burned and unconscious when that happened so Gyutaro made the choice to be a demon for her, which might be why Daki was human in the afterlife and had a chance to go to the light. Gyutaro was by far the stronger of the two and so would’ve started climbing the ranks. Gyutaro retained his attachment to Daki however, which Muzan saw as a weakness. Despite that Muzan and a few other uppers recognized Gyutaros potential to rise further up (likely to rank 5 or 4 had he stayed alive) and so I believe he made Daki an upper rank also as an investment in Gyutaros potential. As you’ll see next episode he only ever saw Gyutaro as the upper rank of the two of them so his keeping Daki was to keep Gyutaro happy (and maybe also to take advantage of her cuz ngl his interaction with her in the district was kinda sus).
Obanai is a tsundere he knew the battle was the intense and hard because when he reacted to tengen saying tanjiro was alive he was flabbergasted that even in the midst of the insane battle he survived.
I'm not an expert but i feel Gyutaro fused with Daki because she had the looks to work in the Entertainment district. Considering his looks, i don't think he would have been valued in the E.D. I read somewhere that Daki's beauty and work in the E.D generated funds for Muzan to use for his money-related things. Probably why he visited her this Arc
All demons can potentially change humans to demons, but Muzan only gives permission to specific demons to change them. And he's got control of his blood art to the molecular level, so he really has the control. Most people don't like the next arc, but I love it.
I think, I mean this is just my thought, Ume wasn't Daki herself. In the scene of Gyutaro and Ume going into fire, basically this means they are going to the Hell, before that Ume was suggested to go toward the light which obviously means she could go to Heaven. If Ume was Daki herself, it can't be happening, or at least Wani-Sensei the author would never discribe that way I believe. So I consider this way: Ume couldn't become demon and just died then, and Gyutaro ate Ume's body and consumed her ghost spirite in him. Gyutaro made Daki for Ume, that's why he said they're "2 people in one". If so, Ume herself is innocent so she could go to Heaven.🤔
The VA for Gyutaro is goated for the level of acting in this episode. Also I just love the line, "No matter how many lives, I'm going to be a demon every time." It' so true to his character and I'm glad they didn't switch up even with the backstory.
Gyutaro had taken the choice becoming a Demon, thats the reason why Ume is in the afterlife normal and given the choice (going into the light) to become a part of the circle of reincarnation
Luke-san, don't forget what Master Kagaya said: "Muzankibutsuji is the only stain on the Ubuyashiki clan." Great reactions this season too! Now! Let's move on to Season 3!🫡
What a great season it was, glad to rewatch it here. It got me more emotional this time, maybe because Luke was crying his eyes out or because I could focus more on the details. Demon Slayer might not have the most complex story, but it has a great storytelling full of emotions, of course well directed and animated by Ufotable animators. I don't think it's shameful to say that it's one of your favorite animes because it's truly enjoyable. To next season we go!
Its pretty much impossible to not feel bad for Gyutaro since it feels like the universe whent out of its way to just dunk on him. The Tanjiro paralels are deliberat. Tanjiro came from a good family, came home in the morning to find his family destroyed by demons, he begs the gods to save his sister and eventually runs into a hashira in the snow. Gyutaro came from a bad family, came home in the evening to find his family destroyed by humans, cursed the gods and demanded that they bring his sister back and eventually runs into a upper moon in the snow. Hell both brothers carry their sisters on their backs. Spoilers for the manga. The only person to actually show any slight kindness to him is later confirmed to be a complete sociopath to the point that he legitimetly can't feel anything.
I always thought of it as Daki was right between upper and lower moon, like if she was all on her own and didn't have her bro backing her up and the third eye power up her base form would be top of the lower and her full power white hair form would be upper 6 teir, if just barely. Gyutaro was for sure a proper upper moon, and in theory if he hadn't been sharing power with his sister could have been stronger from how they talk about him in the manga. Then again, you can't underestimate how much of a durability boost it was having a tied life force and needing the double KO to be taken out for real, so who is to say
Seeing how you reacted to this season makes me REALLY look forward to the next season!! Seriously, I feel you bro! This entire series just makes me so emotional! The mangaka did an amazing job in world building and characterization. I know that people say that the story is cliche and simple but it's the emotions it evokes and the 'simple' understanding and empathy that viewers feel when reading/watching the series that make it so epic. Shout out to Ufotable for their amazing anime adaptation! They really did a great job in bringing the story to life!
Even gyutaro said, "what if you become a demon too" To tanjiro as an upper six and akaza to rengoku, and don't forget about lady tamayo turn yushiro into demon herself...
Most of the Upper Ranks are monster that you won't feel bad for no matter what but Daki, Gyutaro, and Akazas backstories will really gut punch you with the feels.

He turnned both of them the 12 kuzuki have some of Muzans blood in their own blood, so when they give blood to another or their blood mixes with humans they turn as well. This is why theres so many random stray demons on top of the 12 that are strongest and Muzan.
I also like to think that they walk thro the fires of hell together to burn away their sins since they are just made demons because they are victims of Muzan (his blood is what turns a demon and once ur a demon u have his blood in urs so u also can turn others, be it by accident or on purpose thats how Nezuko was turnned she accidentally got some of his blood in her wound.). So hopefully they are reborn differently and in a better life together this backsory always makes me cry no matter how many times i watch it.
She was still alive when they became demons, that save both of them, he couldn't "control" her, just lended his strength to her and borrowed sigh as well as power, but it was her doings, so they were two separated people turned into two demons.
As for why were they like that (like you needed to kill both), I don't remember it being explained ever in the manga, my guess is that both were transformed at the same time, together, and he wanted to be like that (to protect her), so he perhaps Muzan himself made them like that, or was by one of the siblings blood demon art that they could be it.
Ume/Daki's voice actress is just amazing!! Pulling our heartstrings everytime she does this emotional scenes. Kurapika and Sinon's VA by the way~
also Gyuutarou's VA is the same as Marco's from AOT and Climb from Overlord believe it or not
Can you react attack on titan junior? 😊
Thats why Daki was remembering the flames when she was getting burned by Nezuko, reminding her of her past life and how she nearly died.
Oh 👀
For clarification about Nezuko, it's not like she has healing powers. She just can burn demon stuff with her demon art without hurting humans. That's what she did, burn all the poison inside them.
Yeah. I don't know if it was accurately translated that Inosuke's skin started to "heal"... it might well have been. But it was just not the 'best' translation IMO. So many people get confused about this, because of the wording.
Another cool thing about Nezuko's Blood Demon Art, is that it doesn't just burn physical demon stuff. As I see it, In Mugen Train, it burned through Tanjiro's dream caused by Lower One's Blood Demon Art and it burned away the falsehoods about Tanjiro's looks, waking him enough to actually be able to reject the dream. Right before that moment, he became aware that he was in a dream, but he was still his 'old' self and not Demon Slayer Tanjiro, so he didn't know what to do about it.
So, Muzan is the only demon who can change people into demons, but because uppermoons have such a high concentration of Muzan’s blood, they are able to turn people into demons by sharing their blood
Yes and specifically muzan needs to accept the exchange, like he said "if he accepts you, you can become demons" his blood is almost like a network and muzan has the password and the 2 factor identification to it, if you share his blood he can choose to accept them as demons or he can destroy them. Shits dope
but he did say if "he choose you" so last order from muzan
@@ZeroShrimpy Yess... And since Muzan can control every demons cells he could always still reject someone
yeah the demon specifically said if Muzan allows it. so he might share his blood but without Muzans agreement they wouldn't turn into or stay alive as demons. And since he has a connection to almost all the demons he would likely know about it.
not quite, by kokushibo´s own words in the manga, the upper moons can offer muzan´s blood after asking him, through the UM body they are able to share his blood to who they want after recieving permission from him
This is why Daki behaves like such a brat. She never really grew up and matured as a person after she became a demon. She has an adult's body as a demon but her mind and heart remained that of an immature child
plus the mental corruption that happens to anyone who becoems a demon. Nezuko nearly killed Tanjiro before she got it under control.
In hindsight, you can see the signs that Daki is actually still a 13 year-old girl, the way she's crying when things won't go her way, her childish outlook at the world, the way she runs to her big brother to save her when things get bad.
True actually 🤔
It wasn't explained in the anime but the reason Daki/Ume stabbed the samurai was because he insulted her brother. They are both upper rank 6, Gyutaro is stronger than her but they work well together. As for how he controls her Gyutaro can close one of his eyes and see all her movements to fight for her and use their attacks in sync, it can also be a weakness though as Gyutaro is protective of his sister.
They were both turned into demons after she was burned alive, the scenes after that with her was Gyutaro thinking about the life she could have had if she was raised normally. His only regret was her because she could have turned out differently than him, but even when Gyutaro told her to leave him and go towards the light she didn't want to leave him remembering their promise so they went to hell together.
As Tanjiro said people won't forgive them for what they did which is why they need to have each other. The parallels between them and Tanjiro and Nezuko shows that anyone could have become demons if things turned out differently, as well as how Tanjiro views demons seeing them as people who turned out that way instead of just monsters.
All demons have Muzan's blood in them the upper ranks are allowed to share his blood with people, but it comes down to Muzan if they become demons or not. The upper ranks can only give blood, Akaza upper 3 tried to turn Rengoku remember.
Tengen and his wives made a promise to retire after they defeated an upper rank, so he would have retired even if he didn't lose a hand and an eye.
Every demon have Muzans blood not only the upper moons
@@marcelyuzuki6376I meant all demons when I said that all the upper ranks had his blood, but maybe it wasn't that clear, thanks I'll edit it.
You know, I never thought about it until Luke questioned if Ume had become Daki or if Daki was created by Gyutaro. I always assumed it was as you said.
But, hear me out, an alternative path was if only Gyutaro had become a demon, then ATE Ume and manifested her with his newly found demon powers. That would potentially explain why they have the power to share a body.
I dunno, it seems plausible-do you know if it’s ever been confirmed one way or another?
@@BHWu2 Doma said something like, that girl is about to die soon, I'll give you both some blood then if he allows it you can both survive/become demons. So it is confirmed that the both turned into demons, but interesting idea with Gyutaro manifesting his sister because he missed her like with Rui creating a fake family. There are a lot of what ifs and alternate scenarios in the Demon slayer community.
Hope he sees this comment. I think is very important to know why Daki stabed the samurai
Nezuko setting Tengen on fire infront of his three wives is probably my favorit moment from her, it just makes me laugh my butt off everytime.
And Tengen's face, he has gone beyond "Seriously, this is how i die?" and is just done.
Ume was so afraid of fire, but she hung onto her brother even as they matched into hell together. She had the choice to pass on into a happier life, but she didn't even look at the light.
Gyutaro and Ume are my fav demons because they are Tanjiro and Nezuko in everything but name.
There are so many parallells between them, right down to one being carried on the other's back while sleeping.
I love how Gyutaro says after killing the samurai, "over one measly eye" and when He and Daki become Demons, he lends her his eye when she needs it. This show has layers and is so well written
29:53 "anyone else's heart kinda breaking a little bit as well?" dude I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out
😭
Luke, that part about always being TOGETHER, it's important thing. They both, brother and sister, was so much about being together, so when they turn into demons, they literally merge into one being, so now they truly could be together forever. It's very philosophical thing.
Ume (Daki's original name) actually is a reference to the bacterial infection Syphilis, the infection that kills her mother. This basically indirectly confirms her occupation as a low-rank prostitute, who is left unattended to and dead after getting infected.
Also, I really enjoy your reactions! I cry every time when I re-watch Demon Slayer, and I am glad that you experience the same with me! :)
I love that Tanjiro meeting Sabito means all this afterlife things, like Rui meeting his parents in hell and these two getting along are ACTUALLY happening
Also Rengoku seeing his mother after the fight, she was actually there, it wasn't an illusion
He met them is heaven I'm pretty sure
Since we know they are right here watching him
I bet they almost have a heart attack seeing him on the verge of death when he’s fighting 😂
Um, we knew that from the first episode, where the Spirits of Tanjiro and Nezuko's family visited them after they had died.
👀
29:43 Yeah this is the parallel between nezuko, tanjro and gyutaro and daki
One raised in love, the other raised in hatred
One was saved by a human, and the other by the demon
Edit: I also love the fact that gyutaro loves his sister despite Ume/Daki was the beautiful one, the favored one or something unlike him who was despised by all people. I love how he wasn't jealous of her and just loves and protects her
That goes both ways. Ume hated ugly people, but she loved her brother.
25:55 The upper rank Kizukis have Muzan’s permission to recruit people to turn into demons by offering up their blood, which contains Muzan’s blood/cells, but Muzan can still reject them. That’s why that Kizuki said that they can become demons too if HE (Muzan) chooses them.
Gyutaro tried to protect Daki till the very end. He told her to go to the light, even in their end he wanted her to have a better ending than his 😭
Big bro always be a big bro 😢
For real, I genuinely believe, Daki's VA was crying for real in that last scene,
Absolutely feels like it 😢
i really like the symbolizm at the end where they're in the ""afterlife" . gyuutaro was acting mean so she wouldnt follow him into hell, and go "into the light". but in the end she decided to follow him to hell....
I know what you mean Luke they really hit you hard with how much darkness these "demons" lived before they were turned into demons learning their past and how sad it is. The author really makes you feel for these characters. Also in their final moments you can tell they remember their humanistic nature and really make you think about them and not help but feel bad for them. I agree Luke you can definitely see the parallels with Tanjiro & Nezuko who had a loving family and really amazing parents where Ume & her brother didn't.
I don't know if it was mentioned before but there's very strong evidence that as a human Gyutaro suffered from congenital syphilis. The bad teeth, sores, failure to gain weight, irritability etc are all symptoms.
Also the kanji for Ume 梅 meaning plum blossom is used in the Japanese word for Syphilis (梅毒 Baidoku )
People always say a certain demon is there favorite tragic backstory, but I don’t think anything will ever top Gyutaro and Daki/Ume for me, because of the connections and similarities I see in myself with Gyutaro.
My own little sister and I, we were raised well and had a good life. We didn’t suffer any of the tragedy like these two did, but their bond and story… if… if we were in a similar position to them, I would have done everything the same as Gyutaro. I can’t hate him. I just can’t. And so every time I see this part, I start fucking crying my eyes out like no tomorrow because I can’t help but feel for these two. They really had nothing but each other and had to crawl their way to anything that resembled a better life, only to be robbed!
And his scream to the heavens is quite possibly one of the most powerful things I’ve ever heard.
This episode was already heartbreaking when I watched it last year as a mother of a small boy. Now that I gave birth to his little sister it's absolutely devastating to watch.
She still had a chance to go to heaven, because she didn't willingly choose to be a demon, it was forced upon her, and she still chose to burn in hell with her brother, i remember how much i cried with this episode
Probably should be interpreted as the chance to be reborn in a new life in the human realm. Given the context of Gyutaro's comments immediately before reflecting on the possibilities she would have had if she had been born to someone different. In both the cultural context and narrative context that would make more sense.
Ume's and Gyutaro's backstory is so heartbreaking, they had a rough life, everyone treated them badly, and the only one who was "kind" to them was a demon, no wonder why they turned up the way they did, also, to answer your question, yes, Ume was turned into a demon too and them being like one is due to being an Upper moon and having stronger powers that makes them be able to do things like that. I'm happy that even if they went to hell they went together because they really didn't have anyone but themselves in the world ❤.
The first half of this season (Mugen train movie) finished with all of them crying of sadness, but now they're all crying as happiness/relief that they are alive. This was a fantastic season, thanks for reacting Luke.
The sad part is that Gyutaro and Ume's story is often common throughout human history and today's world. Child's that "work" for carteles here in México didn't chose that life. The things they do are awful and horrible, but life didn't give them any chance, and the goverment didn't do its job.
29:33 yes it is suppose to be parallels of Tanjiro and nezuko. They are both carrying their sister the same way; on their back.
Hey Luke, I've heard so many times why that all the hashira don't go on missions together and I'm you deserve an explanation: it's simple really, after rengokus death there aren't many hashira left and now tengen retired too. The hashira and ubuyashiki estate is an unknown location for the demons, if muzan were to know where they stayed, he would send all the upper moons plus himself to go kill them all. Another reason they don't go on missions together is that there are always many incidents with demons and some too advanced for lower demon slayers to face, leaving those jobs for the hashira, leaving the estate unguarded would provide vulnerability towards the ubuyashiki family and the safety of others, meaning that the other hashira are acting as guards and backup in extreme cases :))
Perfectly explained
Hope luke reads this
Japan is vast, and Hashira is limited. They are directed to patrol selected areas. We can't blame Iguro for not coming in time to aid Tengen because his patrol area is far from Tengen's (maybe the nearest compared to other Hashira's area).
The mission was to be carried out by 2 hashira. The current mission they were on was only to collect info and not to fight the demons.
Tanjiro is capable of being empathetic to demons, because he knows that Nezuko didn´t choose to be a demon.
Thematically - the message is that in real life, a lot of bad people (demons) did not choose to be this way but are the result of the circumstances they were dealt. Tanjiro is the only one who sees this, and it’s the crux of his whole character, what he represents, and what his mission is. He says to the master “i will strike with the sword that will stop the chain of grief”. Child of brightness, he represents the sun. Which in this fictional universe, likely with Shinto influence, the sun is a purifying agent. And the moon is corrupt. The sun kills demons because it judges their actions and brings justice. And bcuz Nezuko never killed anyone as a demon, the sun did not destroy her
Facts: No Upper Moon has been killed in over a Hundert years.
Snake Hashira: " just upper 6 ? How weak are you?"
Serpent Hashira.
@@flamingdino4972 isn't that technicly the Same thing ?
@@Timo_The_Watcher I prefer to have the terms correct, Shinobu said that they are strict with the terming when she was talking about Flame and Fire so, I was correcting the word you used.
Your reactions will always standout for me. No over the top stuff just really pure reactions. It really gives the feeling of a great vibe and sometimes even makes u feel like watching the show for the first time again
Re: 19:30 - The reason Ume stabbed the Samurai in the eye was because he badmouthed her brother (not knowing that she was his sister)
Didn't the Samuria also sexually assault her?
@@ryanread8617she's born from a sex worker at that district, she's born to be a sex workers by society and trained that way, poor ume didn't have choice
Idc what anyone else says, even the author of the manga. Ume was 13 and about to be sexually assaulted, she defended herself and then was burned alive for it. It’s a more poignant moment for this to the be the case as well, instead of “you talk bad about my brother I stab your eye out with my hair pin”. Again I don’t care even what the author says, in art the viewer/ reader creates their own interpretation, always
he is not ready for the next episode🥶
How does this episode still make me bawl my eyes out after watching this over 20 times in reactions😭
Ume never chose to become a demon, her brother chose for her to save her. That's why she was offered the option to go to heaven. Gyutaro chose to become a demon of his own free will, never regretting his choice. That's why he only got the flames of hell.
Ume probably didn't have the option of rebirth in one of the heavenly realms. Considering the scene before was immediately talking about other ways her life could have turned out if she had been born into better families, I feel like it should be interpreted as the possibility of being reborn into a new life in the human world.
@@calumnyslander4050 Yes, but then she'd have to be separated from her brother, who wasn't given the option. Thus she chose to go to hell with him.
@@MadaraUchihaSecondRikudo Though, when you think about it Ume could inflict no greater suffering on him most likely than for him to know she's experiencing the uninterrupted suffering of Avici, the deepest hell, along with him.
A hell which from my understanding he technically earned specifically by his malicious intention to kill the buddha that he declared when Ume was dying. Outside of that you have to either maliciously and with specific intention obstruct others in the pursuit of enlightenment or murder your parent or an arhat. It's a pretty exclusive club for that hell.
So if she goes with him he can experience not just his own agony but her continuously burning with him which is just going to be worse because of the negative associations he already has with her burning. Which will last until the full fruit of his karmic seeds have been reaped.
So that's pretty sad to think about really.
Daki and gyutaro’s backstory always makes me tear up, their bond is just amazing 😭❤
Tanjiro's wholesome nature is infectious. How can you watch this show and not want to emulate Tanjuro.
It's Tanjiro, Tanjuro is his father lol. Yes it's very confusing 😂
Re: 15:45 Those are the same words he said to Tanjiro last episode, when he was mocking him for being the lone survivor.
'Rashomon Gashi' was a slum that existed at the eastern end of Yoshiwara.
In the past, the western and eastern ends of Yoshiwara were lined with illegal shops called 'Kirimise'.
Women working in kirimise are either women who have reached retirement age in the brothel but have not been able to return to their parents' homes and have no prospects for marriage or employment, or prostitutes who have been dismissed from the brothel due to illness from which they are unlikely to recover.
Rashomon Gashi was the least safe place in Yoshiwara.
The Yoshiwara brothels were of higher status and charge higher prices in the order of 'Omise', 'Nakamise' and 'Komise', and even the lowest 'Komise' was too high for commoners to go to, so most commoners used the 'Kirimise' brothels.
Each brothel employed a male employee to deal with customers when they had a dispute with a prostitute or the shop.
His job title was 'Gyutaro 妓夫太郎'.
In modern English, a 'bouncer' would be a similar job title.
In other words, Gyutaro is not a person's name.
Are you Japanese? I'm surprised that they know more about the culture than the Japanese.

@@Flower-gi2on
Thank you for spreading Japanese culture.
There were many things I didn't know about, so I found it interesting to read.
Ume/Daki was about to die and that demon offered to make them Demons. They were both turned into demons. That’s how Daki lived this long. They don’t really explain how they have the ability to be one body but I would assume based on the story it’s just part of their abilities of becoming a demon when they were siblings so close. Especially when they made the promise, they were like bunched up in that straw together kinda like one.
The blond guy that turned them into demons used to be uppermoon six but he later became stronger and moved up the ranks, therefore leaving tye uppermoon 6 spot empty which was occupied by Daki and Gyutaro.
As for what happened to Daki, she was barely thirteen but that Samurai wanted her to be his wife, therefore in an act of rebellion/ self defence, she stabbed him in the eye with a hairpin. After that she was burned alive. When Gyutaro found her, she was burned to a crisp but she was still alive, barely hanging onto life. So then they both got turned into demons.
Gyutaro is tye stronger half and is pretty much tye uppermoon six. Infact Gyutaro apparently had more potential than uppermoon five and four but he was stopped from achieving his full potential due yo his sister holding him back.
Around the end, they're in the afterlife where which leads to either hell or a chance at reincarnation. Daki is in her human form because she did not directly choose to become a demon and was instead turned because of her brothers descision. Therefore she had a chance at reincarnation. Meanwhile Gyutaro had willingly become a demon and therefore had no choice but to go to hell. But as you can see, Daki followed him to hell at the end.
33:50 it's because Obanai is one of tge Hashiras on the stronger side, either ranking fourth or third (not confirmed yet) while Uzui supposedly ranks 8. So they have a huge difference in their strength.
The amount of times I misspelld 'the' is crazy
This is why upper rank 6 is my favorite of the demons, I think they're such strong characters, I don't think I've ever seen quite such an accurate portrayal of a dysfunctional relationship, how they develop, and how they are expressed. Their death legitimately hit me as hard as Rengokus did.
I especially love the scene of their last words on the ground yelling at each other, it especially gives such an amazing insight in dysfunction. Superficially you see someone screaming and insulting someone and you tend to take their words for granted, you wouldn't say those things to someone you love. If you pay attention a bit more you'd notice that it's clearly not meant.....but what's even much more important is the person being yelled at, that's who you should focus on. It's the absolute pain in Gyutarous face when Ume insults him that shows what she means to him that her words hurt him so, it's the pain in Umes face when Gyutarou retaliates that shows how much she loves him.
It really is such an amazing portrayal in how traumatic childhoods can lead to toxic ways to express yourself, where you communicate through lies and insults as a defense mechanism, bitterness and anger. Where you never learn how to be loving and positive.
It's also an amazing example of why I so hate the concept of hell, I find it so dreadfully immoral. Anyone could have turned out like them, had they been born in there position, meaning that the difference between heaven and hell is just a question of luck, and how can you be in heaven if your brother is suffering in hell? As long as there is a hell there can be no heaven for anyone who actually deserves to be there.
I gotta say, that last scene of our main characters hugging and crying, happy they all survived...it just gets me so emotional 🥲 the relief of everyone being o.k in the end!!!
15:46 if you notice these are the same words gyutaro said to tanjiro in the last episode because he related to him and thought that tanjiro was similar to him.
Rengoku: set your heart ablaze..
Nezuko: set everyone ablaze..😂
(Btw guys im working on Cliffhangers Compilation s2 just wait for it it's gonna be good)
Btw i made Compilation of Luke reacting to demon slayer cliffhangers hope you check it out 👍
I just thought I'd leave this comment and say please don't let people ruin your perception of season three and four, A large amount of people consider season 2 the best season and say three and four are not good even though they are both great seasons.
So just try avoid any negativity. Were all here to watch and enjoy your reactions along the way.
Quick edit: The upper moons an make demons like muzan because of how strong they are. Like how upper moon three wanted to turn Rengoku or how last episode Gyutaro wanted to turn Tanjiro,
This 🫶 I really like season 2, but season 3 is my fav
@@mixxsomnia Same here
Not sure about the 3rd season but 4th was literal peak
@@Pathetic-Ali Of course that's fair and I agree s4 was peak. I just don't want his own opinion to be ruined by others
Upper moons can share Muzan´s blood through their bodies to convert people into demons with his permission, so yeah, technically they can

Now Swordsmith Village Arc LETS GOOOOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉
They're both sharing the title of the Upper rank 6, and Ume (Daki) became a Demon too and shared a strength from Gyutaro
Man, you're not ready for the next episode (season 3 episode 1) swordsmith village arc ✨😌
Season three ep 11 is gonna break him
@@Phantom_373 right ? Poor inosuke 😢
Shhhhh guys, don't spoil details. Come on.
Tengen promised his wives(which was shown during this arc) that he would retire after defeating an Upper Moon. So even if Tengen didn't lose a hand and eye he was always going to either retire after being an Upper Moon or die trying.
Tengen's toughest battle was having to be the Hashira that was focused on after how insanely popular Rengoku was and the impact he left. Did Tengen do well to stand out as a personality/mentor figure for the trio?
Daki and Gyutaro were both turned into demons but Gyutaro would usually stay dormant within her so he could be close and protect her if needed. They are both Upper Six as a pair but hers is more of an asterisk and Gyutaro is the true Upper Six. She is an in-between power of Lower One and Upper Six as the Upper Six have consistently gotten stronger over the years.
After Mugen Train I didn’t think it would be possible for me to love a hashira as much as Rengoku. But when one handed Tengen pops in last second to save Tanjiro I remember literally throwing my phone across the room and shedding tears. I fucking love Tengen, and I think he stands on his own merit even amongst all the other awesome hashira
@@NobleVagabond2552 He is my favorite. The fact we spent so much time with our trio and him interacting and fighting together versus the others makes him stand out. We spent so little time with Rengoku, unfortunately.
26:14 he literally said "if he chooses you, you can become demons"
All demons have the blood of Muzan in them 💀
Any demon can turn anyone into a human but not without Muzan allowing it
All I can really say is that it is as Sakonji Urokodaki says. Demons develop mysterious supernatural powers. Gyutaro had 2 types of demon art, poison and blood manipulation combined together into his technique.
Tengen the only Hashira who could've survived this match. Poison resistance.
maybe Shinobu too, she coud have an antidote to demon poison
I have a huge love for Zentso, even though he is boring sometimes, he is always evolving, without losing his essence.
U know thank u sooooo muchhhh, this reactions are the one that makes my day, i wish i can go to the future and watch all your ds reactions 😅!
They did both get turned into demons. But Ume never made that choice for herself, so in the end she had a chance to go to the light. She even looked like her human self. But she chose to go with her brother rather than be separated. And Gyutaro didn't look like his human self until he walked into the fire with her. Also, they really twisted the knife on us when the insults being thrown at Gyutaro as a child were the same exact ones he threw at Tanjiro in the previous episode. And now we know why Ume acted the way she did as Daki, the wailing and crying, throwing tantrums. Because she's essentially still a 13 year old. Both of them were still deeply traumatized and because of how demons are, hurt a lot of people to try to make up for their misfortune. Been enjoying the reaction, excited for the next season!
I love this episode so much gyutaro and daki are my favourite demon so far by miles there backstory is just devastating and its heartbreaking especially the afterlife scene it gets me every time
Nezuko right at the start gave me such chills! Love her so much! Such a great season! Looking forward to your journey as we go into the next season and continue this adventure into Demon Slayer! I enjoy your genuine first time reactions Luke even when you feel you don't think you are "reacting enough" I feel that both your facial expressions and commentary is also part of your reactions that I enjoy so much! Keep it up! Love all your videos! 💖
basically both were turned into demons and gutaro was main uper six but to keep gutaro satisfied muzan gave both of them the rank of uper six so that he stays in control and dont revolt
So the thing about Daki and the crossroads is- she never had a choice in becoming a demon. Gyutaro made that choice for her, so when he told her to go away into the light- it was because she could have "gone to heaven" but she chose not to, because she wanted to be with her big brother.
As for why they are two in one i assume it's because they share blood or because they allowed each other to absorb the other without assimilating them into themselves.
I'm so glad that you got to see this through. It is like the springboard to hope. Now you get to to mee the youngest hashira in Muichiro and the loveable, but zany hashira in Mitsuri.
Gyutaro and Ume has the worst and the most tragic backstory. They never had a single happy moment, it was a constant battle against the world, even in death, Ume had the chance to rest in piece, since she is innocent cause it was her brother who choose to become a demon for her, but she choose to go to hell with him. I feel really sad for them, they never where happy...
FIRST!! This season is by far my favourite, but the next two are also good! If you’re proud of the main trio now, you’re in for a ride!
Imagine if they killed off Insouke or Uzui in this episode, like it would’ve been such a slap in the face 😭. Like imagine you’re so happy that everyone’s alive and the upperanks are dead, and then Inosuke and Uzui dies 😭 Thank goodness for Nezuko!
“He hasn’t collected the blood!” *Two seconds later* “He got the blood!” The Luke Curse of saying something and then it immediately happening is still intact 😭
Prewatched ! Definitely prewatched ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@NotTakenPls LMAO
The more you think about it, the more obvious the parallels b/w Tanjiro and Gyutaro become. Both were poor, big brothers who worked to feed the family. Both were out for work when disaster struck. Difference being the circumstances, one saved by a Hashira and other by a Demon
Their Past had me Crying like a Kid 😭 even more than Rengoku's 😭
when he get to watch the last movies hes gona cry more then regoku death got a feelin
second time daki (ume)'s crying hit me again... what a nice voice acting she is... Now next destination is Blacksmith Village Arc and of course you know demon slayer right on every cliffhanger 😂
I am a Japan fan of Demon Slayer.
In the unofficial ranking of the most favorite demons chosen by fans of Japan Demon Slayer, Gyutaro and Daki were 8th and 6th among demons following Muzan. After all, there are many fans who sympathize with them when they were human.
As a result, many fans who have read all of the completed Demon Slayer manga participate, so unexpected demons rank high in anime.
i do belive that this is the best season of demon slayer and the next 2 seasons are not even close to be as good as this was. the emotions and story telling, the ending and the fact that againts all the chances we did got a happy ending.
cant wait u to see season 3 episode 1. ill need popcorn for that one !
Well now that this season ended it's time to start working on the "best cliffhangers reaction compilation" ever 🤣✨
The demons in demon slayer are humans who have been hurt most of their lives or are on the verge of death.
All upper moon can give demon blood to humans to become demons but if you want to become a demon, you have to be the chosen one, whether you can or not depends on the human.
I was over the moon when I heard the Upper Moon's voice. I so wanted him to be voiced either by Miyano Mamoru or Yuki Ono and they didn't disappoint 😄 he's pretty cool, ngl.
Anyway congrats! You survived Entertainment District arc with all limbs 😂😁 Now onto the next arc!
Exactly what happened with Daki also being upper six isn’t fully explained but we can get a good idea from context clues and other information. The demon that helped turned Gyutaro also helped to turn Daki, as he mentioned that he’d give both of them blood and told Gyutaro that she would die soon to encourage his willingness to transform. Daki was burned and unconscious when that happened so Gyutaro made the choice to be a demon for her, which might be why Daki was human in the afterlife and had a chance to go to the light. Gyutaro was by far the stronger of the two and so would’ve started climbing the ranks. Gyutaro retained his attachment to Daki however, which Muzan saw as a weakness. Despite that Muzan and a few other uppers recognized Gyutaros potential to rise further up (likely to rank 5 or 4 had he stayed alive) and so I believe he made Daki an upper rank also as an investment in Gyutaros potential. As you’ll see next episode he only ever saw Gyutaro as the upper rank of the two of them so his keeping Daki was to keep Gyutaro happy (and maybe also to take advantage of her cuz ngl his interaction with her in the district was kinda sus).
Obanai is a tsundere he knew the battle was the intense and hard because when he reacted to tengen saying tanjiro was alive he was flabbergasted that even in the midst of the insane battle he survived.
I remember what Silent Hill taught me: The true monsters are those that turn a child's soul dark.
It is a sin beyond anything they could do.
I'm not an expert but i feel Gyutaro fused with Daki because she had the looks to work in the Entertainment district. Considering his looks, i don't think he would have been valued in the E.D.
I read somewhere that Daki's beauty and work in the E.D generated funds for Muzan to use for his money-related things. Probably why he visited her this Arc
This was great! I'm so happy you're still loving it!
The next 2 seasons are going to be a fun ride!
All demons can potentially change humans to demons, but Muzan only gives permission to specific demons to change them. And he's got control of his blood art to the molecular level, so he really has the control. Most people don't like the next arc, but I love it.
I think, I mean this is just my thought, Ume wasn't Daki herself. In the scene of Gyutaro and Ume going into fire, basically this means they are going to the Hell, before that Ume was suggested to go toward the light which obviously means she could go to Heaven. If Ume was Daki herself, it can't be happening, or at least Wani-Sensei the author would never discribe that way I believe.
So I consider this way: Ume couldn't become demon and just died then, and Gyutaro ate Ume's body and consumed her ghost spirite in him. Gyutaro made Daki for Ume, that's why he said they're "2 people in one". If so, Ume herself is innocent so she could go to Heaven.🤔
My favorite episode of this season.
Btw, have a nice day
Yes, i'm a sucker for emotional things.
Hooray, new reaactionnn, its already ceremony each 2 days😆
The VA for Gyutaro is goated for the level of acting in this episode. Also I just love the line, "No matter how many lives, I'm going to be a demon every time." It' so true to his character and I'm glad they didn't switch up even with the backstory.
17:09 I am glad you understand what Tanjiro is actually trying to do.
You mimicking obanai was perfection
I told you all he was gonna cry at this backstory
31:35 "Him saying that immediately made me worried"
Imagine Akaza comes out of nowhere says "SIKE!! YOU ARE DYING HERE B****"
Gyutaro had taken the choice becoming a Demon, thats the reason why Ume is in the afterlife normal and given the choice (going into the light) to become a part of the circle of reincarnation
Beautiful season finale, beautiful reaction! Do we need more? Absolutely.
See you on Wednesday
Nezuko really said blood demon art, flames of plot armor
Luke-san, don't forget what Master Kagaya said: "Muzankibutsuji is the only stain on the Ubuyashiki clan."
Great reactions this season too! Now! Let's move on to Season 3!🫡
What a great season it was, glad to rewatch it here. It got me more emotional this time, maybe because Luke was crying his eyes out or because I could focus more on the details. Demon Slayer might not have the most complex story, but it has a great storytelling full of emotions, of course well directed and animated by Ufotable animators. I don't think it's shameful to say that it's one of your favorite animes because it's truly enjoyable. To next season we go!
We did really enjoy our time watching it with you
They also became real monsters.
With feelings, but monsters after all.
Its pretty much impossible to not feel bad for Gyutaro since it feels like the universe whent out of its way to just dunk on him.
The Tanjiro paralels are deliberat.
Tanjiro came from a good family, came home in the morning to find his family destroyed by demons, he begs the gods to save his sister and eventually runs into a hashira in the snow.
Gyutaro came from a bad family, came home in the evening to find his family destroyed by humans, cursed the gods and demanded that they bring his sister back and eventually runs into a upper moon in the snow.
Hell both brothers carry their sisters on their backs.
Spoilers for the manga.
The only person to actually show any slight kindness to him is later confirmed to be a complete sociopath to the point that he legitimetly can't feel anything.
I always thought of it as Daki was right between upper and lower moon, like if she was all on her own and didn't have her bro backing her up and the third eye power up her base form would be top of the lower and her full power white hair form would be upper 6 teir, if just barely. Gyutaro was for sure a proper upper moon, and in theory if he hadn't been sharing power with his sister could have been stronger from how they talk about him in the manga. Then again, you can't underestimate how much of a durability boost it was having a tied life force and needing the double KO to be taken out for real, so who is to say
Seeing how you reacted to this season makes me REALLY look forward to the next season!! Seriously, I feel you bro! This entire series just makes me so emotional! The mangaka did an amazing job in world building and characterization. I know that people say that the story is cliche and simple but it's the emotions it evokes and the 'simple' understanding and empathy that viewers feel when reading/watching the series that make it so epic. Shout out to Ufotable for their amazing anime adaptation! They really did a great job in bringing the story to life!
Even gyutaro said, "what if you become a demon too" To tanjiro as an upper six and akaza to rengoku, and don't forget about lady tamayo turn yushiro into demon herself...
Most of the Upper Ranks are monster that you won't feel bad for no matter what but Daki, Gyutaro, and Akazas backstories will really gut punch you with the feels.
Goodbye to the entertainment district… Hello to the swords smith village!
