The anime really isn't conveying how smart Gyutaro is since it cut down his inner thought like with a lot of characters. Like oppose to his manner, he actually pretty smart in a fight. Most villain would tank the Kunai since they can't damage him but Gyutaro notice something weird and create a barrier around him to deflect all the kunai. It give him more characterization than just a thug.

Guess I missed that. Still it a shame that some of the better introspection got removed like the one about limit and anger.

Ufotable, stop. Please. These animations are reaching levels of insanity that I just, wow. As an anime only I'm just amazed at the levels of animation on display. Though I don't know how many more cliff hangers I can take right now.

Well then, the 11 episodes rumor was indeed real, next week final episode for the Season, and it will be an extended feature, channel block is 45 minutes long as opposed to 30, to the actual run time without ad breaks should around 30+ minutes rather than the usual 24 minutes.

Oh man, I hope they do reach the Twelve Kizuki meeting in the final episode in its final minutes, it is looking really unlikely now, but still it would be great.

Man the entire fight against Gyutaro and Daki has been nothing but sakuga porn. Also screw Gyutaro for his last-minute slash explosion.

Oh man, the punishment our guys had to endure to kill an Upper Rank. They are going to need one hell of a recovery period. They deserve it anyway.

Kimetsu has a lot of issues, but I've always appreciated it's commitment to demon power levels. It helps things get creative

Yeah, Gyutaro and Daki took a Hashira, and Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke (all of whom are probably above their pay grade) to kill, and even then they got that last succesful shot because of Gyutaro getting cocky and playing around. It’s a match the Slayers would have likely lost if Gyutaro was dead set on offing them.

Well that’s awkward, the final Season 2 episode leaked on the internet 4 hours before the official broadcast, ufotable, Aniplex and Fuji TV must very pissed about it.

The series has become one of the most popular and profitable pieces of media in Japan in recent years, Aniplex and Ufotable are probably being kicked into overdrive.

Honestly I kinda feel like they probably originally planned to have one season to cover the entertainment district arc and the next one but realized during production it would be too much so they split it up this way and added the movie re-telling because it wouldn't make for 2 whole seasons. Or maybe they wanted to do the movie re-telling and that's why they had to split it this way.

Like, this is months away, they've definitely been working on both at the same time.

Scratch that "July 2022" part, I got ahead of myself, it is only "July", the year has not been officially confirmed yet. More announcements will happen in the future.

Alright, some thoughts after the last episode:

  • Nezuko’s flames can apparently specifically target things like poison. Or perhaps her flames simply burn up anything demonic in nature. Either way, it’s a convenient ability to have. Otherwise Uzui would have croaked without managing to give his last words.
  • Speaking of Uzui, he’s alive! And all his wives are alive! Retire and live out the rest of your days in happiness, you beautiful man, you deserve it. Don’t listen to the snake bastard, he’s just salty you one-upped him.
  • I have to applaud Gyutaro and Daki’s seiyuu, their voicework is like 80% of my investment in their tragic backstory. The other 20% is the sequence where there’s shot of a light and dark path, then Gyutaro and Daki eventually decide to walk into the flames together. Sad. Oh, and I’m assuming that the Upper Six that transformed them is the current Upper One?
  • Late realization, but when it hit, I had a big smile on my face. The Slayers have managed to take down an Upper Rank. The first time in a century. And no one had to die to achieve that. If that doesn’t boost morale, nothing will. Also interesting: Muzan is from the same clan as the Slayers’ head honcho whose name I forget.
  • The next season cannot come fast enough. The temptation to read the manga grows stronger everyday. Need to see Muzan be a bad boss again and flip out on his subordinates.

Nezuko blood art allow her to burn anything relate to demons. We saw her do that lots of time before(Rui's thread, Emmu tickets,...)so been able to burn away a poison came from the body of a demon isn't far from it.

That makes sense. Previously I thought it was standard Playing with Fire but her non-cremations in this episode got me thinking otherwise.

Daki outright said after being burned by her, that her fire only burns Demons and nothing else.

I'd have liked to get more on Daki's backstory but I guess the author primarily decided to focus on Gyutaro despite him not being around as long.

Well their backstory is one and the same. Like the backstory here mainly tell from Gyutaro POV since he is the one that in the end decided to turn them into a demon.

I will say that according to the mat book, the reason why Daki stabbed a costumer in the eye was actually because he insulted her brother

[up] That would have been nice to know, I thought the samurai got too handsy which made Daki stab him.

I’m a bit sad we have to wait for S3 to see Muzan be a disappointed Asian dad to the Upper Ranks.
