That episode was rad
It was amazing! I can’t wait to see where the series goes next–I’m hoping for another movie of some sort eventually personally
Hell yeah!
I liked when Tanjiro-kun unlocked “Leg Breathing, first form: fast AF”
Didn’t quite understand what the hell was up with that tiny demon. So was he an actual killer when he was human or not? He had a tumour in the brain which made him commit murders?
I haven’t read the source material, but my take on it was that the guy was just a bad person. He faked being blind, stole from people, and never admitted to anything wrong. He killed the guy who finally found out he stole, and then the local lord or magistrate found out he had been doing stuff like that in other towns. He was just full of excuses and refused to take responsibility.
My opinion on the symbolism is that his demon form being tiny is a reflection of his “small” self. All the bigger demons are the emotions which control him, fear, pleasure, hatred, resentment, etc… I do believe it’s the first instance we see in the show of a demon with a backstory shown that doesn’t lead you to feel sorry for them. But even his life makes Tanjiro’s quote ring true about all demons being pitiful creatures. /rant
Overall it was a great episode. Fulfilling enough for an ending one.
Something that probably came as a surprise for those who didn't read the manga
Nezuko being able to stand the Sun, and undemonifying herself ever so slightly.
It made sense - Nezuko might’ve been demonified, but she’s still human at the core.
