C&C - Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - "Swordsmith Village Arc" [8/10-10/19]

[Yojimbo]

It's like a gymnast's ribbon. She should've been in the Olympics.

She would have slayed. <ducks brick>

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Strong women scare them.

Don't be a Videl, an Orihime, or an Asuna. Be an Anri, a Yoko, a Kirara*, a Sango, a Kallen.
*From Samurai 7.

Sorry fellas, she's married. To KICKING YOUR ASS.

He's biting that tree like it just ate Charlie Brown's kite.

You could cut off his head with a steak knife.

*makes Curly "woo woo woo" sounds*

EAT YOUR GREENS!

Rice cakes give you pink hair. That explains DECADES of character designs.

One hour season finale? So no One Piece next week then. My eardrums thank you.

 

[Yojimbo]

Oooo, Kanroji's amazing!!! Funkiest sword ever but still amazing.

Still don't get why Hatengu and Zohakuten can't be decapitated. Is this the same trait for the Uppers and the big bad or just him? Are they going to have to just hold on until sunrise?

But man, even when they finally kill this Upper... he was this op, the ones above him must be even crazy stronger.

 

[Nobodyman]

So this was the episode with a very contrived explanation for why the author just didn't want to draw a buff girl.

I still really like this show, but, yeah, that kinda sucks.

 

[Daikun]

What's this? A slayer whose family WASN'T slaughtered by a demon?
How oddly refreshing.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Episode 55
"A Connected Bond: Daybreak and First Light" (Season Finale)
10/20 at 1:18 AM

Previously on Demon Slayer: Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya struggle against five wooden dragons controlled by Zohakuten. Tanjiro is swallowed by a wooden dragon while being forced to defend against the demons that represent emotions. In a moment of desperation, Mitsuri rushes over and rescues Tanjiro. Then, in order to save the captured Nezuko and Genya, he confronts Zohakuten.

Tonight: Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya chase Hantengu's real body while Mitsuri is stopping Zohakuten. The three of them work together to find the hidden wooden ball of Hantengu, but the inside is empty. Tanjiro and the others chase Hantengu, who has run away again. Genya, out of numbness, throws a tree at the fleeing Hantengu, and Nezuko jumps at him!

Did you just utter a spoiler?!​

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: A childless cat demon slayer.

The borrower's getting away!

Why don't you slay someone your own size?

He's King Kong, and you're Godz--more like Minilla, actually.

If you catch him, does he have to give you his pot of gold?

EEEEEEEE-NUCK CHUCK!

Nice one, big sis.

Aww crap, his head's still on.

 

[animePWNS]

Leave him alone, he's unarmed!

 

[Kitschensyngk]

I think he wants his sword back.

So you can't stand people who bully the weak, yet you see three humans minding their own business and decide to hunt them down? You hypocrite.

Lemme guess, he trips, falls, lands on the sword and decapitates himself.

Dude, watch where you throw that thing!

And Nezuko without her sunscreen.

Chibi mode activate!

Oh dear, there's gonna be casualties...

Couldn't you throw a jacket over her or something?

Are we about to lose a main character?

This music and montage tells me we're about to lose a main character.

It's like one of those Russian dolls where there's a smaller demon inside each one.

A demon's idle hands are Muzan's playthings.

...we lost a main character, didn't we?

Oh, she's fine.
And she'll have more speaking roles from here on out.

Wait, she IS fine, right? She's not a dream or hallucination or something?

So far, so good...

 

[animePWNS]

After Uzumaki's final horror, it's good to see a scene like this. And as both Tanjiro and Nezuko observed, "Thank goodness."

Uh oh...

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Don't die on us now! You were so cool last week!

And her battle just...ends? After all that stuff last week about not following traditional gender roles?

"Your head seems to have exploded, are you all right?"

Yeah, lady, resign. And then run. And not in that order.

A grown man preying after a teenager. And this isn't even a high school setting.

"And also, you're fired."

See where being an anti-vaxxer gets you?

No more sleeping in that cramped box, no more travelling on her brother's back.

And for the second arc in a row, more crying and hugging.

And so, as tiny Nezuko observed, "thank goodness!"

Here comes the sun! But, I say, she's all right!

Come on, think of it as doing some quality control.

Better leave before Kotetsu hits you. He hasn't yet decided where to throw him.

It's like visiting the Batcave.

You could see through the blindfold, couldn't you?

So a haunted train, the red light district, and a secluded mountain village...where to next?

 

[Yojimbo]

WTH, Nezuku turned out to be immune to the Sun?! And now becomes the principal target of Muzan...

Didn't expect the end to reveal Muzan's origins nor it just some elixir that turned him into a demon. In the flippin' Heian era. But didn't answer where those Blue Spider Lilies ever came from. China, maybe?

Nice touch Tanjiro incorporated Thunder Breathing in the finale!!! See Zenitsu had a big part in it even though he was off-screen on another mission. And combined with the Kagura dance, that animation looked so sick.

So hilarious they managed to steal Tanjiro's new sword somehow and get it to him before Haganezuka could mow them down. But kinda implies his skill, even incomplete, it was still enough to decapitate an Upper. Or Kotetsu accuses him of killing Tokito. lol. And then he chases after Tanjiro assuming he broke it again, lmao. And Kotetsu has to rub it in, rofl.

So glad Mitsuri survived. Just barely. But survived nonetheless. And nice to see Tokito thank Tanjiro and even see Genya crack a smile then get embarrassed when Mitsuri hugs them both. Guess there's hope for those two. Also glad to see the elder survived. Though still, shouldn't they be evacuating to a new location instead of trying to rebuild? Even if they don't know Muzan probably knows the location through links with Hatengu and Gyokko, should still be protocol for them to hightail it outta there, imo.

Heartwarming to see the whole village see off Tanjiro.

Off to Butterfly Mansion. Another recovery and training arc. When this comes out on Toonami, who knows. Hopefully before the movie finales come out.
