Ep 21:

  • You just gotta love Giyuu. Not only he's one of the most badass, but this episode revealed that he's also one of the funniest. It's apparent that he didn't take being told he is disliked very well. [lol] And yeah, I like seeing him with Shinobu as well.
  • Yay, Kanao! She is so adobs, just like...hell, every girl in this series. waii
  • So the Demon Slayer Corps actually has a support brigade. Good on them! Logistics are important.
  • Woo, the Pillars. This gives me a bit of Bleach feel. [lol]

Yeah, Giyu being introduced as a generic stoic badass, only to reveal he's just socially awkward and is shocked to learn nobody else likes him was ace-level humor.

Any other thoughts on my proposall?

[up] I agree with it, but the page has to be updated by a manga reader… or someone who doesn't fear spoilers.

The Zenitsu x Nezuko fishbowl event is actually from the later Butterfly Estate visit, so technically it wasn't cut since the anime hasn't reached that part yet; the talk through the box was indeed cut though.

Ep 22:

  • The Pillars loom freaking weird and possibly psychotic. Giyuu appears to be the only sane person among them.
    • I don't even know which one I find the weirdest, but the monk guy creeps me out the most, due to my personal experience with religious nutjobs. XD
    • I like how the Fire Pillar's expression and words don't match up.
    • Dat headbutt. I'm gonna go ahead and bet that Tanjiro would try headbutt Muzan and either it works...or goes completely other way around and Tanjiro's head hurt instead.[lol]
    • Dat pink pillar. She's totally designed as a Ms. Fanservice and moe character, from the looks of it. [lol]
    • I like to imagine that Giyuu actually wasn't told about the letter, and when he heard about the whole suicide pact, he silently thought "Wait, what? I didn't agree to this!"
  • Also, the Corps Leader...Did...did he just bring up presumed innocent until proven guilty? Holy shit, this is literally the first time I ever saw the concept applied in Japanese media.

Seriously, I'm pretty sure Rengoku (that's the flame pillar's name I think?) fell into the same chemical vat as the Joker in The Killing Joke. At least Shinobu's eyes move when she talks, but he's just… stuck in that creepy expression…

Demon slaying is voluntary so regardless of how much he cries Zenitsu isn't really that much of a coward (especially considering he took a beating for someone who is basically a stranger)
Zenitsu moreorless said that he was forced into Demon Slaying though and that he was hoping to die during the Final Selection so I'm not sure this negates him being a coward.

Zenitsu at the end of the day, will do whats right even it kills him. And unlike Mineta, he has no problem going against powerful opponents one-on-one when the time calls for it.
And yet again someone ignores the Final Exam arc. Mineta proved during that arc that he's willing to do the right thing at expense to himself. He could have just abandoned Sero and ran away by himself but he didn't. He managed to deal with Midnight and take Sero through the gate with him. Yeah he's a pervert who takes things too far sometimes (See his meeting with Eri.) but he's not a coward. As of where I'm at (End of episode 14). Zenitsu is both a coward and someone who won't take no for an answer.

Maybe saying he's worse than Mineta was a bit much but at the very least comparing the two from where I'm at with them as characters, they're on about equal levels to me.

[up]He wasn't hoping to die though. He just thinks he's going to. You said youre just halfway through but he does have an episode that details why he does whatever he does in the second half so I'll refrain from spoiling that but the debt thing is a bit more complicated that. That said, he's a cowardly lion archetype is what I meant by my statement. He'll cry and scream, but he will always do his job.

As for taking no for an answer, he only really does that in his introduction. Hes certainly girl crazy but forcing his affections on someone who make it obvious they don't care never happens again. Honestly the author makes all the characters 80% more intense on introduction.

The eyes are one of my favorite things here. The very unique way they are drawn that makes the expressions of say Rengoku (yes he’s the fire pillar) & Sanemi (the wind pillar) very particular expressions.

Rengoku’s lack of expression due to his eyes is pretty hilarious.

I’ve always imagined him with a voice like say a news anchor person.

Perpetually high, booming, & emphasizing, but rather unsettling cause it was apparently always stuck in the same range & sounds flat.

It’s like in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where Hillary dated that news anchor guy who always spoke in a loud booming which got creepy quickly cause he always talked like that even off the clock.

[up]X5. The anime and the manga have really subtle hint about Zenitsu nature. Despite how terrified and scare he act, he have never abbadon the people he have to protect. Even when facing a demon and scare to death, he still priority the kid life over himself. That speak volume about his nature, fear doesn't stop him from doing the right thing. As for the clingy stuff, Zenitsu have super hearing, this allow him to sense people nature and the lies they told from birth. He became super attach to people that genious care and want to help him( which he can tell apart from those faking that due to his ability).

One thing for sure, mineta has never called a General-class villain a trash to his face and then killed said villain in one strike like Zenitsu does. Hopefully that scene will get animated some day

Zenitsu has done more heroic and badass things in the span of seven or so episodes than Mineta did in two hundred chapters or some. And Zenitsu only gets more restrained and badass as the manga goes.

So, no. They're not anywhere near the same level.

Is this really a comparison worth meriting?

Mineta is a side character with a very utilitarian power, Zenitsu is a lead trained in direct combat.

Like of course Zenitsu gets more awesome moments. That's not something to be argued, its basic logic.

It also helps that Zenitsu also doesn't have one the most laughable designs for a character I have ever seen.

Seriously Mineta's costume looks like a kid playing dress-up in a diaper. It kind of makes his creepy antics all the more jarring and creepy to me.

@slimcoder - Which is why I find it infuriatingly annoying that there is someone who keep insisting on making the comparison.

Zenitsu is yellow which is a colour that draws me in a lot. I have forgiven a character for acting crazy just cause he's yellow.

Though in general I really like the designs in this series. Really hells characters stand out, from the eyes to the hair to the accessories. Only downside is that it makes the mob characters stand out more, unlike heroaca
