As just one example, the fights have a real sense of peril and danger. If Tanjiro or anyone else gets seriously injured in a fight, it can take them a long time to recover and it may affect their performance in future fights. Characters we thought were invincible and would be a part of the action going forward, might die or be permanently injured, like Rengoku and Tengen. So, there's no healing up just like new for the next fight, as you often see in other Shonens. Agreed. I like that realistic aspect. Have you seen the latest Arc on Crunchyroll? The Nezuko related stuff is really good imo 1
ben0119 Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 The belts went into her body and didn't re-combine with the belt? So weird. Now Daki has powered up. Everyone just now noticed the racket?! Overkill much, Daki? You just destroyed a whole block! And you'll need a new hideout now, thanks that ridiculous move.
ben0119 Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 Rengoku's father realizing his mistakes. Too bad it's after his son is dead. Birthmarks aren't inherited anyway lmao. Whoop her ass, Tanjiro! Daki's leg regenerated way too easily. That ability is way too OP on these higher ranked demons. Daki has heard this talk before. No, Muzan's memories? A warrior with a birthmark and hanafuda earrings...

I was hoping Toonami would air it and I could watch it for the first time on Toonami and discuss it with everyone else here. Glad to hear Nezuko gets to shine though. 1

Yeah, that reminds me, I agree Nezuko's pretty good from time to time, but it's also a shame how she's not around for such long stretches so we get glimpses of her growth arc instead of truly watching it. Wish she would have been more prominent, a bit more like the Alphonse to Tanjiro's Ed that I was hoping for, and after she decided to stay with Tanjiro on the front lines after Miss Tamayo offered her the chance to stay hidden.

ben0119 Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 They could run faster if they weren't dressed like girls! Obi, that's what that belt is called. I couldn't think of it. Daki is scurred! Saved her head with the damn belt! A fluke, sure, Daki. 😄 1
DangerMouse Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 He held it THAT long but not a second or two longer heh 2

ben0119 Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 Aahh hell, Tanjiro ran out of stamina. Bad move, you made Nezuko angry, Daki! Smashed her head off! Damn, if only Nezuko didn't wear the same outfit all the time. 😄 1
DangerMouse Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 Manjiro 🤣 LOL "How can you run when you're sleeping?" 2
saito34 Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 I hope we get a good explanation for Nezuko's abilities. 2
DangerMouse Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 "We're outta time so there's no Taisho Era Secret today" 🤣 1 1
ben0119 Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 Who knew Nezuko had a temper. 😁 Hmm, but according to the little brother, that sort of temper can backfire, even if it's getting angry for the right reasons. Nezuko grew into larger adult form, in addition to gaining a lot more power, speed, and regenerative ability, it seems.

Yes. I agree with that. I hope Nezuko isn't so "dormant" anymore. I also hope she can be cured or at least not become mindless or evil some day and have to be put down. I don't think my heart could take it. D: Also, funny you mention FMA. I don't remember the original series as well, but at least in Brotherhood, fights and injuries had lasting consequences there as well. 1

OwlChemist81 Posted June 30, 2024 Author Posted June 30, 2024 I wish I had been able to stay up last night for this one! 2
OwlChemist81 Posted July 6, 2024 Author Posted July 6, 2024 Last week's episode was such a great one with tons of action and the start of Nezuko's transformation, plus an intriguing twist that SURELY won't matter much beyond this arc: the concept of Muzan's "Layered Memories" over his demonic subjects. But I digress; today for those who can stay up, we've got a Demon Slayer double-header! First up is Episode 7: "Transformation": #40 overall--enjoy tonight at 3 AM! ONLY TOONAMI!! 2
