When she was human there was someone who loved her, and it appeared he was killed long ago as well. Maybe it was the same time she was turned as well.

Very sad 

Do we get any more of her backstory? i dont think so but cant remember

Damn.

Mercy kill.

It seemed when Tanjiro noticed the Spider Demon "Mother" surrendering, he changed the form for his kill to that painless quick cut.  Kind of odd the water isn't meant to be literal but she still seemed to feel it in a way.

But a demon that gets its head cut off disintegrates.  This one was still going, but it disintegrated when it was cut through the middle.

Not sure when they showed it but I seem to recall her being betrayed by one of the others when she was turned if I remember correctly. Like one of them plotted with Rui or something.

We saw the guy who she thought looked at her with kind and loving eyes and when she thought "I wonder how they are doing" it showed his arm/hand with blood running down it.

Yeah. When he switched forms it seemed like it. I'm still kinda surprised it's not real.

Yeah went back and watched again just now.  Tanjiro called 1st form, then noticed the demon surrendering, and changed to that 5th form.

Yeah.

It would've been so cool if the water was real.  But I guess the characters don't have those kind of powers in this show.

This show has lots of great details!  I think I picked up on some new stuff I didn't notice before on this re-watch.

All I can think of, is it is some demon they removed the head from and restrained, and stuffed the head into the chest, to use as a puppet.  And that's why it disintegrated when it got cut there.  Or it could be related to the weird powers the "Elder Brother' Spider Demon had.

Oh that's an interesting thought, since we saw that first demon that Nezuko kicked its head off still go until the head was actually destroyed.

Yeah, I think having their heads cut off only kills them if it is done with one of those demon slayer swords.

Oh yeah something else I forgot to comment on earlier.  That girl asked Tanjiro to send someone of higher rank.  Why was that not done in the first place?!

The headless puppet?  Yes.

for some reason i thought he was part of the family all along but that doesnt appear to be the case. Now I'm wondering what the story is behind his design

This is a fantastic episode (minus Zenitsu's blubbering)

I wonder if that was put in for padding.  I didn't see the reason to keep going back to him.

It is quite the mystery now that I think about it, even if he's just a minor random enemy.

it would actually be more impactful if he was genuinely scared and it was made clear that he was. The way they portray it seems more slanted towards comic relief. Maybe it's just the VAs performance not sure, but i could totally see a character that loses his nerve from time to time be pretty interesting, especially in a spooky ass  forest crawling with murderous psychos. . The over the top crying  doesnt really work imo

I think Zenitsu really is scared, but it is also being used as comic relief. 

I think the author must have thought the story was too depressing without Inosuke and Zenitsu's antics, and so they were added.  Or maybe they were always planned to be in it.  But nevertheless, the show's character did change after their introduction.

Hopefully Zenitsu will develop a bit though.
