The toughest part is where Tanjiro couldn't decide what to do whether to protect his sister or the swordsmiths. And Nezuko giving him an option to help others shows how deep their bond as siblings cuz she knows that his brother is kind. That scene really got me crying. the heavy breathing and the panic attack really cut through me 😭😭the cgi, the music, the sound effect, coloring, design- literally everything was so on point.
yea being the type of person he is, it definitely caused him mental anguish of the thought that he was completely able, but was gonna let these 3 innocent people die. Which is why he couldn't decide what to do. This scene perfectly encapsulates his personality, and his strength to keep going. Top 3 best episodes in anime history for me.
Nezuko didn't want to be burden to Tanjiro. She knew her brother loved her. She helped him making the decision. They have the best siblings bond in anime/manga.
One thing I liked about Hantengu's design is the symbolism. At the heart of Resentment is fear. Because of Fear, Anger turns into Hatred and eats away at all other emotions. Hatred can even eat away at love (Mitsuri), however, the only way to fight hatred is through love.
Remember Rengoku's last words. He recognized Nezuko as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. That's why Nezuko gave priority to the lives of the swordsmiths over her own. At that time, she put her hand on her chest and told Tanjiro to "Set your heart ablaze." Then Tanjiro gritted his teeth, faced forward and cut off the demon's head.
@@lastcuneyt3334but this plot armor is kinda find though. Tanjiro become a demon slayer is to cure nezuko, if nezuko die the main plot of this show will be gone.
42:43 “He’s always been just a miserable, bitter person.” FYI, “miserable” is one of the meanings of “Muzan” 無惨. It can also mean cruel, deplorable, or horrifying. I doubt that was his human name, but it is certainly fitting for this king of demons.
Yup! An earlier episode with Tokito showed that the villages were taking the swords and running away. They thought the demons were coming to stop the distribution of swords to the Demon Slayers.
The material Nichirin blades are made from is a scarce material, Grabbing the swords and running preserves the knowledge on how to make the swords and saves the materials that were currently being used to make swords.
We can't blame Tanjiro. In extreme conditions, It was dreadful to see Tanjiro battling the moral predicament. Given the conflicting choices, I entirely comprehend his inability to decide. Do you remember the themes of this arc? "Whatever you do for others you do for me" "Don't run away from your responsibillties!" The characters of DemonSlayer are the symbol of conflicting choices "selfishness (demon) or altruism (demonslayer corp)" that the author makes so important. Asked that huge question, Tanjiro could not make his own decision until the end. He is not a bastard. He is not selfish. He was confronted with the ultimate "selfish or altruistic" question and panicked. And Nezuko kicked him. It was all a cycle. Nezuko sacrificed her own life to save her brother. Tanjiro took his sister's feelings into consideration and slashed the demon. In doing so, Mitsuri was saved from being killed by Zohakuten and prevented the demons from killing people and escaping to remain a threat. And Hantengu (Upper 4), who had lied and run away before he was born, remembered his own crimes in his dying moments and was held accountable by Tanjirou. All of this is an ending that is deeply connected to the theme. It was all a cycle. "Whatever you do for others you do for me" "Don't run away from your responsibillties!"
29:06 We knew Muzan was the first demon and that he has lived for at least a thousand years. Urokodaki told Tanjiro about Muzan after the final selection.
Sometimes these girls do forget an important fact this series. If Muzan not the first why do all demons afraid of him and need his blood to be demons or to get strong. When they over excited about something, they intend to forget about something else.....
@@zamhobby9662i just try and remember that for them it’s been like 2-3 years since they’ve seen season 1 so it makes sense that they’ve forgotten certain things that were said then
About the Genya jumping off the cliff, he didn’t have his demon powers anymore. If u look closely his hair changed back to normal and he lost his fangs
Muzan’s backstory being black and white with only his red hues and blood being coloured looks so good. Was super creative approach, I really dig it. It also goes really well with the character too.
I mean bleach literally just did that last year with it's latest season, I feel like it's less creativity on their part and more taking inspiration from bleach. Which it's already done in the past.
Technically all other breathings derived from sun breathing, so actually since tanjiro can use sun breathing, he should be able to use all other types of breathing as long as he understands total concentration
The flashback for Nezuko is very emotional. Seeing through Tanjiro's thoughts of memories from the beginning to now. Can't see what it like without her. And the clip of Nezuko when she was human, shows Tanjiro will never heard Nezuko speak, see her smile, and see her in her human size form adds more emotion. But seeing her walking in sunlight, speaking for the first time and smile, made me leave the room in tears. Because it's been so long that Tanjiro haven't heard is his sister voice for so long.😢
I've noticed a lot of people saying things like "why would *they* do this?" "*they* can't do this" "*they* can't kill her off" etc. - but no one really seems to... idk.... respect that "they" are giving us Tanjiro's perspective. He has no reason to think she'd survive, and since he's our POV character, we have no reason to think she'd survive either in that moment. I much prefer how it was portrayed in the anime vs the manga. The manga didn't really give the scene much weight in comparison and it was just like "oh okay, that happened".
Even though I read the manga, I still cried while watching the episode. The voice actor did so good in conveying emotions, the helplessness in tanjiro's voice is so heartbreaking. He is torn, he wants to save both but I think he would still stay with nezuko if nezuko didn't kicked him. Nezuko is the only family he have left, and he still have dreams to achieve for her, like buying her new yukata, do the things he haven't done for his siblings and he will do it everything to her instead.
Urokodaki tells Tanjiro in the first few episodes that Muzan is the first demon and has been alive a thousand years and that he's the only Demon who can make more Demons.
@@alypayanDoma gave a bit of his blood to keep Gyutaro and Daki alive until he brought them to Muzan to become demons. it took Tamayo YEARS to convert Yushiro into a Demon.
I think they gave us the flashback montage for Nezuko because that's Tanjiro's perspective. He believes she's dying, so he thinks of their past and everything they've been through.
1) Tanjirou getting so angry at Hantengu he hit him with the ‘chase you to the depths of hell’ was cold 2) the music this episode went above and beyond, from the organ at the beginning to the chanting during dancing flame to the insert song 3) seasons like this where I have Witch from Mercury, World Dai Star and Demon Slayer episodes like these are not good for my heart omg lol
Theres a moment where tanjiro is watching nezuko walking to her and it shows the reflection of her in his eye. It's very reminiscent of Rengoku and Tanjiro talking to each other one last time and showing each others reflections in the other's eye. Seeing the images side by side hits HARD
09:56 Nezuko Blood Demon Art 🩸 doesn’t heal. It burns at anything Demon yet does not hurt Human. The reason why Tanjiro, Inosuke and Tengen felt better after she burn them is because her blood burns away Gyutaro Poison. In this instance, Genya is 🔥 because he ate Demon Flesh and his body is now exhibiting Demon properties. Thus Nezuko Blood burns him.
never been this early! woohoo! why are the swordsmiths there? please remember that their village was attacked by Gyokko's fishes. they escaped from that probably saving as many swords they can hold. it's just Tanjiro and Hantengu's fighting area got extended because Hantengu kept on running and escaping too. also, Tanjiro's dilemma isn't just saving Nezuko vs saving 3 stranger swordsmith, it's more like saving Nezuko vs letting Hantengu consume human and regain his strength to escape and letting him live and kill more people in the future. Nezuko can't let that happen because she's also a part of the demon slayer corps that's why Nezuko decided for his brother instead.
this ep was such a tearjerker for it's own reasons & there's no good way to end a anime season, all endings are sad, but at least this ep made s3 go out with such a bang. i so cannot wait for s4, jan 2024 i heard, that's too far away but will be waiting
The amount of people who were ready to drop KnY if Nezuko died 😭 definitely the most beloved character in the whole show since Season 1, probably with Rengoku right behind her. Regarding Hantengu's backstory, I think he had some kind of multiple personality disorder as a human, which is why his main personality kept feigning innocence despite killing and stealing (other personalities embodied the other emotions as a demon). His other personalities probably took over when he committed crimes.
What do you mean why were they there ? The village was attacked by fish demons so the once that escaped hid there. And a plain field is the best place to hide from a demon since they won't be able to sneak up on you.
I think the reason that Tanjiro got the special send-off is that he was willing to sacrifice his sister to save the villagers. Everyone appreciated how much he was willing to give up for their safety. Of course, it's really Nezuko who sacrificed herself (assuming she did not know that she would be able to survive the sun) but the sentiment is the same -the Kamado siblings were willing to give up everything to protect the people and the villagers wanted to show their appreciation. Beyond that, Tanjiro was likely the only one of the defenders of the village left at that point - Tokito, Mitsuri and Genya had all left - so maybe he (and Nezuko) was the last to get the big send-off.
I love the fact that Nezuko was the one that made the choice to save the Swordsmiths and not Tanjiro. As nice of a guy as Tanjiro is, I don't think he would ever willingly sacrifice Nezuko. But Nezuko, like Tanjiro, is a Demon Slayer. She's willing to put her own life on the line to save innocents.
Theres a theory going around that tanjiro’s former mentor - cant rmmbr his name - inadvertantly helped nezuko survive the sun, in a way. He hypnotized her so that she would look at humans as family, so as to not harm them. That means she has never tasted human blood (let alone human meat) since she became a demon. This definitely did something to the demon cells in her body. That, on top of the fact that shes always sleeping. Rmmbr that she only wakes up when there something happening outside her box. Or else, she just sleeps. This wouldve also affected the demon cells in a way. She was in a state of hibernation most of the time, means her human cells and the demon cells had reduced activity. Somthing happened to her on a cellular level thats never happened to any demon before this. And this went on for two years… nobody knew the full extent of nezuko’s unique changes until she was challenged (either diliberate or accident). Maybe she already had the ability to withstand the sun a while back, who know? N obviously nobody would dare test that theory.
She was already special it's important to remember most demons when deprived of human flesh go mad and become little more then feral beasts she didn't.
@@speedy01247 yeah, not denying she was special, but she struck lucky coz she had follow up in the form of his brother and his brother’s mentor. Alot of things happened right for her.
I remember Chachamaru being outside the window of the house where Tanjiro and others are recovering before going to the swordsmiths' village. That was the message Chachamaru was gonna deliver?
They talked about muzan being the first demon in the first season within the first 10 episodes. He is the first and the only one that can create demons with his blood so every demon we've seen is made and controlled by him
The point of the montage is that it really sells the death. You are supposed to be devastated and then shocked, it wouldn't have the proper impact if they didn't go all out making it seem like it was really happening. Then the emotional roller coaster you just got off leaves you unsteady enough to think for a split second that maybe they really killed off Mitsuri that way after letting Nezuko live.
I felt like there was more fight scenes than I'd expected, and no scenes (as far as I can remember) from before she became a demon. So maybe it wasn't her life flashing before her eyes, but her reflecting on and making up her mind to do what they've always done; risk their lifes to protect other humans
I cried while reading the manga, I cried watching it animated even without subtitles, I cried again when it already has subtitles, and I'm crying on every reaction video I watch 😭
'why did they all run together?' It's a herd mentality and we are a pack species that works that way, when danger appears we will see a person running away from it and our instincts will scream at us 'RUN THAT WAY!' they're not really to blame for being there either, a wide open space with hidden hillocks is a good hiding spot to crouch from attack, you see everywhere around you and you can bolt in any direction you can if you see a threat.
They made this episode 50 mins long because people would have rioted the streets if they ended with the most disrespectful cliffhanger where Nezuko burns in the sunlight.
29:04 uh yes Urokodaki back in season 1 mentioned that Muzan was the first demon, the one who killed Tanjiros family, the one who turned Nezuko into a demon. Season 1 feels like so long ago that it can be hard to remember huh?😅
I have my own theory with Nezuko blood how it transmuting and adapting, that the Muzan cells aka his blood was converted into Nezuko cells, and reproduced. Since Nezuko didn't drink blood when she became a demon and went into a sleep cycle for 2 years I think, all that time Muzan cells weakened and she converted them, and start creating her own. That my theory anyway that how in the entertainment district she was able to reach upper rank regeneration so quick, that she doesn't need Muzan blood to get stronger or human blood to empower Muzan cells since they're her own now. So bloodlust pure demon (Muzan) vs kindhearted pure demon (Nezuko) resulting in different capabilities. Nezuko producing her own type of demonic cells, instead of using Muzans. If that make sense, that my theory anyway. That would explain why he doesn't have control/power over her either.
47:32 Nezuko was prioritizing becoming human again that’s why her brain is still that of the child. Her conquering the sun is one of the steps to achieve that goal
To be fair, while everyone did plenty of work, Tanjiro led the battle. He figured out the gimmick of Hantengu first, he talked genya, nez, and mitsuri through the fight, tracked down the main body, and even saved them all in multiple occasions.
Me noticing the 3 headset warnings: Aww they are so considerate to put those headset warnings. I love them so-- *still didnt remove the headsets in time, eardrums bleeding like Tanjiro being hit but the "joy's demon soundwave scream" .. joke haha got my volume down always when in headset but thank you for warnings for the rest of the audience who didnt put the volume down. haha Love to see people scream at parts where I scream as well. --- Last episode for season 3 demon slayer staff meeting: Boss: Okay guys, we know at this scene, that Nezuko wont die and will just conquer the sun, but our viewers wont know that yet when Nezuko kicks tanjiro away so taht he could save the villagers. What do you suggest we add to this scene for further increase emotional damage? Loki, the God of mischief, present in the staff meeting, disguised as that lazy employee that looks like he is only half listening: Why wont we add a past scene montage where Tanjiro and Nezuko are focused and a last shot where Nezuko is smiling as a human. Boss: You just got promoted. Also I feel like hantengue can never get a therapist because no one wants to listen to his back story hahhahaah 19:51
Something interesting about this episode is that in Muzan’s case, right before he was going to die, he committed a selfish, horrible act in killing his doctor, someone who was seemingly trying to help him, but Nezuko, despite the risk of death, sacrifices herself to save others. I’ve heard of theories that these could be results of something like karma. Muzan kills and becomes a demon, and Nezuko is rewarded by evolving or adapting, which she seems to have been doing pretty much since the start.
The thing is, if you rewatch it. Nezuko had stopped burning by the time she kicked Tanjirou. She probably figured then that she could withstand the sun. All other demons exposed to it burned up completely by that point.
I liked the contrasts this season; Muichiro vs his brother; the lovebreather who accepts herself and uses her strength to help humanity vs a demon who blames everyone for his atrocities but himself; and finally Nezuko and Muzan. One who has to "only massacre humans" to survive and who'd be burnt to a crisp when standing before god/the sun/ Amaterasu and the other who risks her life/sacrifices herself to protect others, and gets a divine pass
I love the Montage lol. I think its completely a justified moment of character development for Nezuko and its badass. The whole show Tanjiro has been attempting find a cure for his sister, but this is a moment she EARNS. In season 1 Nezuko is transformed and manages to achieve some sentience by her familial bonds with not only her older brother but also her mothers spirit. Her agency towards her journey is taken from her slightly when she is hypnotized to see all humans as members of her family, but slowly overtime we see that this wears off because she able to recognize not only Zenitsu and Inosuke but also Sanemi (Cause she really doesn't like him LOL). By the second season we see her grapple with her demon side more. She tastes power, enjoys it and wipes the damn floor with Daki. She relishes in her anger and cruelty and she nearly devours humans! Its not until she is reminded of her mother, and finally is able to process the death of her family, that she is able to return to normal. Afterwards she obtains the power to burn away demon-poison (a metaphor for processing grief and absolving yourself from all that pent up anger that's hurting you?? lol maybe that's too deep) Regardless, we get to the third season and more specifically this moment. Nezuko is able to reclaim part of her life back (being in the sun) directly after she makes the choice to act selflessly in the preservation of humans. Even when she is at her weakest and her most vulnerable she acts decisively and morally for both those civilians and her brother (By making an impossible choice for him). Just as Nezuko teaches us in the first season when she sees Tamayo and Yushiro as humans...Humanity isn't a state of being. It is choice and one we must make constantly
It was hypnotic suggestion, not hypnosis, so she was still seeing humans as her family by her own free will, it was just a bit of helpful encouragement from the suggestion. But yeah, over time, this encouragement is less and less needed.
To add to the conversation at the start, half Japanese kids get bullied and judged all the time if they have basically any hair colour other than black or dark brown
That was one of the spoilers my roommate blurted out to me after season 1 ended! Nezuko being a Daywalker..even knowing she would live it still hit hard...the writer did a good job with the emotional parts I think she deserves award for that...Tanjiro's panic attack!.. having lost people in my life I felt that....that demon slayer sword offer is nice😎..15%
Love watching you ladies react and was waiting for my notification when y’all’s video came up! One sick ass finale, here’s to waiting 2 years-ish for s.4 or a possible movie. 🎉
I’m so happy for Tanjiro and Nezuko, truly! After all the horrible things that they’ve been through all these years they deserved that happy moment. Now they’re one step closer to making Nezuko completely human again!
Muzan was the first Demon and all the others were created from him (and possibly the Upper Moons, that's unclear) Good job dead doctor, unleashing this on the world
The Kizuki cannot make demons… they can give blood to someone they want to make a demon, but Muzan makes the final choice if they can become a demon. Tamayo is the only other demon that has created another (Yushiro).
Nezuko focused on her ultimate goal rather than self-developing or rather aging. Her goal was survival against the sun and as soon as she does it she can speak. So now that she has conquered the sun, she will be aging or at least acting her age and talking. Hopefully we will get to see more of her as a powerful demon.
Just a reminder, Nezuko's flames have never healed, they burn demons and their techniques. In season 2 what Nezuko did was just burn the poison that they all have
This just shows how the Kamado siblings are as heroes. Tanjiro is torn between saving others and being selfish. If he's selfish enough he wouldn't be that indecisive but he still thought of how he could save both the villagers and Nezuko. And Nezuko who chose to save the villagers over herself. And also to spare Tanjiro from that predicament of having both her and the villagers die if she didn't push him.
They literally played with everyone's emotions this episode 😂. I already knew that Nezuko will conquer the sun this season but yet couldn't hold myself tearing up a bit for that scene. Very amazing animation ny the artists 👏
Mitsuri was fighting an immortal demon non-stop for at least an hour. That’s extremely tiring and would be insanely difficult. She also would’ve decapitated and killed it very early on if it wasn’t immortal, all of that shows how strong she really is.
15:41 best blooper before the storm 18:07 I think most of us were just like that at that moment. The silence was so brutal. Awesome reaction ❤ I was so looking forward to this. The best is yet to come.
Those swordsmiths came first which Nezuko realised thats why she kicked Tanjiro away. Remember Tanjiro is part of the demon slayer corp whos mainpurpose is to kill demons and to protect humans.
I’m a manga-reader and the Nezuko scene still had me a total mess. I remember in the manga, my heart just sunk… it also took me a little while to read beyond that because I didn’t want Nezuko to be gone; it hit hard. Hell, I’ve watched this episode a few times now (2nd time was with the wife and kids and this was the 3rd) and I was still a mess during that scene.
Nezuko is a demon that can conquer the sun. That's why muzan was planning to take nezuko so bad. (Spoiler alert) all demon slayers came to the infinity castle to stop muzan to reach nezuko. Even the hashira's
This episode made many reactor cry. I don't know how the reactors gonna do when the infinity castle and sunrise countdown arc were to be animated, no hashiras are safe
Literally every reactor had that same "Fu*k off, I don't care about your backstory." Only to realise that he was as shitty as human as he is as a demon. Make me wonder how bad Gyokko was Considering they didn't even bother with his back story. One of the only two non emotional back stories of UMs
"Is Muzan like, the first demon?" No, that definitely wasn't explained at all lol. You know, the Demon King Muzan, the most powerful demon, that even the 12 Kizuki are afraid of. The longest living demon, the start of his flash back where he says it all started 1000 years ago, the same guy that controls other demons. Definitely not the first demon 😃
I love how Zenitsu always mentioned Grandpa, instead of Master showing he really lives his Grandpa so much which in manga big hit for Zenitsu. (spoiler)
my theory is that the doctor isn't dead he's like muzan and he was experimenting on him. That sword to the head isn't enough to kill him. Muzan isn't the last boss.
Yall made me cry like i did when i first saw it 😅 Morgan was always so excited for the demon backstories. but she couldn't care less right now! Same dude... same.
Its a small detail that they throw in at 30:30, but this is a callback to the lady Muzan killed in the back alley all the way back in Season 1 Episode 7. When he overflows her with blood.
The girl in the first season had a different hairstyle and was killed with a finger straight to the forehead, unlike this one. Aside from the unlikely case of the studio messing up the continuity, it's just a different girl altogether.
I feel like they could have pushed it a little more to make it even more extreme since its such a big moment for nezuko. It feels pretty anticlimatic (the part where she just casually walks towards tanjiro) but it is already very emotional. Maybe if they show the whole process of nezuko conquering the sun it wouldve been even better.
tanjiro couldn't pick over his sister and the villagers because at the moment he became a demon slayer he also engraved within himself that those in need of help always come first, even if he didn't have a sister he would've gotten scolded or even kicked from the corpse or by other members for choosing a demon over a person.

The toughest part is where Tanjiro couldn't decide what to do whether to protect his sister or the swordsmiths. And Nezuko giving him an option to help others shows how deep their bond as siblings cuz she knows that his brother is kind. That scene really got me crying. the heavy breathing and the panic attack really cut through me 😭😭the cgi, the music, the sound effect, coloring, design- literally everything was so on point.
Don't forget about Tanjiro's Voice Actor 😭🔥
yea being the type of person he is, it definitely caused him mental anguish of the thought that he was completely able, but was gonna let these 3 innocent people die. Which is why he couldn't decide what to do. This scene perfectly encapsulates his personality, and his strength to keep going. Top 3 best episodes in anime history for me.
Nezuko didn't want to be burden to Tanjiro. She knew her brother loved her. She helped him making the decision. They have the best siblings bond in anime/manga.
U not alone... At that moment every fans demon slayer cry..
Nah that was the worst part like bruh save your sister
One thing I liked about Hantengu's design is the symbolism. At the heart of Resentment is fear. Because of Fear, Anger turns into Hatred and eats away at all other emotions. Hatred can even eat away at love (Mitsuri), however, the only way to fight hatred is through love.
Remember Rengoku's last words.
He recognized Nezuko as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
That's why Nezuko gave priority to the lives of the swordsmiths over her own.
At that time, she put her hand on her chest and told Tanjiro to "Set your heart ablaze."
Then Tanjiro gritted his teeth, faced forward and cut off the demon's head.
Not sure about this. Nezuko didn't even hear Rengoku say that.

Demon slayer really knows how to play with your emotions
Muzan’s backstory being black and white with only his red hues and blood being coloured looks so good. Was super creative approach, I really dig it. It also goes really well with the character too.

13:38 Fun fact, Tanjiro mixed Thunder clap and Halo Dance ....
Aka, Thunder breathing and Sun Breathing, when he went *FULL METEOR* against Hantengu.
Yea that was cool my man is badass as Always 😎
Technically all other breathings derived from sun breathing, so actually since tanjiro can use sun breathing, he should be able to use all other types of breathing as long as he understands total concentration
Didn't he mix it with Flame Dance ? Cause otherwise we would've seen the dragon Ig
One of my favourite scenes in the entire show. How fast was he moving? And the sword play was sooo slick
The flashback for Nezuko is very emotional. Seeing through Tanjiro's thoughts of memories from the beginning to now. Can't see what it like without her. And the clip of Nezuko when she was human, shows Tanjiro will never heard Nezuko speak, see her smile, and see her in her human size form adds more emotion. But seeing her walking in sunlight, speaking for the first time and smile, made me leave the room in tears. Because it's been so long that Tanjiro haven't heard is his sister voice for so long.😢
I've noticed a lot of people saying things like "why would *they* do this?" "*they* can't do this" "*they* can't kill her off" etc. - but no one really seems to... idk.... respect that "they" are giving us Tanjiro's perspective. He has no reason to think she'd survive, and since he's our POV character, we have no reason to think she'd survive either in that moment.
I much prefer how it was portrayed in the anime vs the manga. The manga didn't really give the scene much weight in comparison and it was just like "oh okay, that happened".
Even though I read the manga, I still cried while watching the episode. The voice actor did so good in conveying emotions, the helplessness in tanjiro's voice is so heartbreaking. He is torn, he wants to save both but I think he would still stay with nezuko if nezuko didn't kicked him. Nezuko is the only family he have left, and he still have dreams to achieve for her, like buying her new yukata, do the things he haven't done for his siblings and he will do it everything to her instead.
It absolutely killed me when Nezuko kicked Tanjiro toward the demon and gave him that salute :(
Shinso Sasageyo! - Nezuko, probably 😅
Urokodaki tells Tanjiro in the first few episodes that Muzan is the first demon and has been alive a thousand years and that he's the only Demon who can make more Demons.
He isn’t the only demon who can make more demons , Doma turned Daki and Gyutaro into demons and Lady Tamayo turned Yushiro into a demon also!
@@alypayanDoma gave a bit of his blood to keep Gyutaro and Daki alive until he brought them to Muzan to become demons.
it took Tamayo YEARS to convert Yushiro into a Demon.
I think they gave us the flashback montage for Nezuko because that's Tanjiro's perspective. He believes she's dying, so he thinks of their past and everything they've been through.
1) Tanjirou getting so angry at Hantengu he hit him with the ‘chase you to the depths of hell’ was cold
2) the music this episode went above and beyond, from the organ at the beginning to the chanting during dancing flame to the insert song
3) seasons like this where I have Witch from Mercury, World Dai Star and Demon Slayer episodes like these are not good for my heart omg lol
That panic attack scene was so well done. It's only a few seconds but it seems to last forever
Theres a moment where tanjiro is watching nezuko walking to her and it shows the reflection of her in his eye. It's very reminiscent of Rengoku and Tanjiro talking to each other one last time and showing each others reflections in the other's eye. Seeing the images side by side hits HARD
Nezuko's flames can't heal. Last season she burned the poison inside of their bodies because the poison was from a demon
09:56 Nezuko Blood Demon Art 🩸 doesn’t heal. It burns at anything Demon yet does not hurt Human.
The reason why Tanjiro, Inosuke and Tengen felt better after she burn them is because her blood burns away Gyutaro Poison.
In this instance, Genya is 🔥 because he ate Demon Flesh and his body is now exhibiting Demon properties. Thus Nezuko Blood burns him.
never been this early! woohoo!
why are the swordsmiths there? please remember that their village was attacked by Gyokko's fishes. they escaped from that probably saving as many swords they can hold. it's just Tanjiro and Hantengu's fighting area got extended because Hantengu kept on running and escaping too.
also, Tanjiro's dilemma isn't just saving Nezuko vs saving 3 stranger swordsmith, it's more like saving Nezuko vs letting Hantengu consume human and regain his strength to escape and letting him live and kill more people in the future. Nezuko can't let that happen because she's also a part of the demon slayer corps that's why Nezuko decided for his brother instead.
39:40 Takes off Tanjiro's blindfold and Akaza sitting in the cart with him, holding an umbrella
Lmaooo 😂😂 I thought about that but with Muzan instead
The whole montage (memories) was played because Tanjiro thought Nezuko was going to die since demons perished by the sun, logically.
Yea this ep had me punching air. That montage really made it feel like Nezuko was going to die.
I just know am gonna cry again with u guys
Same 🥲
this ep was such a tearjerker for it's own reasons & there's no good way to end a anime season, all endings are sad, but at least this ep made s3 go out with such a bang. i so cannot wait for s4, jan 2024 i heard, that's too far away but will be waiting
Last episode saved the full season I my opinion. Thank god
how is 6 months "too far away" lol
@@eviuze6259 TRUE 👍
The amount of people who were ready to drop KnY if Nezuko died 😭 definitely the most beloved character in the whole show since Season 1, probably with Rengoku right behind her.
Regarding Hantengu's backstory, I think he had some kind of multiple personality disorder as a human, which is why his main personality kept feigning innocence despite killing and stealing (other personalities embodied the other emotions as a demon). His other personalities probably took over when he committed crimes.
What do you mean why were they there ?
The village was attacked by fish demons so the once that escaped hid there. And a plain field is the best place to hide from a demon since they won't be able to sneak up on you.
I think the reason that Tanjiro got the special send-off is that he was willing to sacrifice his sister to save the villagers. Everyone appreciated how much he was willing to give up for their safety. Of course, it's really Nezuko who sacrificed herself (assuming she did not know that she would be able to survive the sun) but the sentiment is the same -the Kamado siblings were willing to give up everything to protect the people and the villagers wanted to show their appreciation. Beyond that, Tanjiro was likely the only one of the defenders of the village left at that point - Tokito, Mitsuri and Genya had all left - so maybe he (and Nezuko) was the last to get the big send-off.
Yeah, I do think Nezuko knew she could withstand the sun though. The flames had stopped
Okay this season is calm before the strom 💀
i’d say the next season is the calm before the storm
I love the fact that Nezuko was the one that made the choice to save the Swordsmiths and not Tanjiro. As nice of a guy as Tanjiro is, I don't think he would ever willingly sacrifice Nezuko.
But Nezuko, like Tanjiro, is a Demon Slayer. She's willing to put her own life on the line to save innocents.
70 percent of the fan base would have abandoned the show if she died so good call by them 😅
Theres a theory going around that tanjiro’s former mentor - cant rmmbr his name - inadvertantly helped nezuko survive the sun, in a way.
He hypnotized her so that she would look at humans as family, so as to not harm them. That means she has never tasted human blood (let alone human meat) since she became a demon. This definitely did something to the demon cells in her body.
That, on top of the fact that shes always sleeping. Rmmbr that she only wakes up when there something happening outside her box. Or else, she just sleeps. This wouldve also affected the demon cells in a way. She was in a state of hibernation most of the time, means her human cells and the demon cells had reduced activity. Somthing happened to her on a cellular level thats never happened to any demon before this.
And this went on for two years…
nobody knew the full extent of nezuko’s unique changes until she was challenged (either diliberate or accident). Maybe she already had the ability to withstand the sun a while back, who know? N obviously nobody would dare test that theory.
She was already special it's important to remember most demons when deprived of human flesh go mad and become little more then feral beasts she didn't.
@@speedy01247 yeah, not denying she was special, but she struck lucky coz she had follow up in the form of his brother and his brother’s mentor. Alot of things happened right for her.
I remember Chachamaru being outside the window of the house where Tanjiro and others are recovering before going to the swordsmiths' village. That was the message Chachamaru was gonna deliver?
They talked about muzan being the first demon in the first season within the first 10 episodes. He is the first and the only one that can create demons with his blood so every demon we've seen is made and controlled by him
The point of the montage is that it really sells the death. You are supposed to be devastated and then shocked, it wouldn't have the proper impact if they didn't go all out making it seem like it was really happening. Then the emotional roller coaster you just got off leaves you unsteady enough to think for a split second that maybe they really killed off Mitsuri that way after letting Nezuko live.
I felt like there was more fight scenes than I'd expected, and no scenes (as far as I can remember) from before she became a demon. So maybe it wasn't her life flashing before her eyes, but her reflecting on and making up her mind to do what they've always done; risk their lifes to protect other humans
17:29 Uh…to hide from the demon attack? They weren’t there bc they *wanted* to get in the way .-.
I cried while reading the manga, I cried watching it animated even without subtitles, I cried again when it already has subtitles, and I'm crying on every reaction video I watch 😭
Tanjiro protected the blacksmiths, and Nezuko overcame the sun.
"What I do for others goes round and round and comes back to me."
'why did they all run together?' It's a herd mentality and we are a pack species that works that way, when danger appears we will see a person running away from it and our instincts will scream at us 'RUN THAT WAY!' they're not really to blame for being there either, a wide open space with hidden hillocks is a good hiding spot to crouch from attack, you see everywhere around you and you can bolt in any direction you can if you see a threat.
“Why are they there” idk maybe cause their entire village is a battle ground
They made this episode 50 mins long because people would have rioted the streets if they ended with the most disrespectful cliffhanger where Nezuko burns in the sunlight.
29:04 uh yes Urokodaki back in season 1 mentioned that Muzan was the first demon, the one who killed Tanjiros family, the one who turned Nezuko into a demon.
Season 1 feels like so long ago that it can be hard to remember huh?😅
“Is Muzan the first demon?” 🤦🏽♂️ they 100% said that before, and said how he’s the only one who can make demons lol
I have my own theory with Nezuko blood how it transmuting and adapting, that the Muzan cells aka his blood was converted into Nezuko cells, and reproduced. Since Nezuko didn't drink blood when she became a demon and went into a sleep cycle for 2 years I think, all that time Muzan cells weakened and she converted them, and start creating her own. That my theory anyway that how in the entertainment district she was able to reach upper rank regeneration so quick, that she doesn't need Muzan blood to get stronger or human blood to empower Muzan cells since they're her own now. So bloodlust pure demon (Muzan) vs kindhearted pure demon (Nezuko) resulting in different capabilities. Nezuko producing her own type of demonic cells, instead of using Muzans. If that make sense, that my theory anyway. That would explain why he doesn't have control/power over her either.
Damn, I'm diggin' that theory a lot
47:32 Nezuko was prioritizing becoming human again that’s why her brain is still that of the child. Her conquering the sun is one of the steps to achieve that goal
From here on out everything is going to be INSANE. The story, fights etc get ready ladies!!
"Thank Goodness" should be the title of this ep finale
It's strange that Muzan's flashback didn't mention when he was in the Jackson 5
To be fair, while everyone did plenty of work, Tanjiro led the battle. He figured out the gimmick of Hantengu first, he talked genya, nez, and mitsuri through the fight, tracked down the main body, and even saved them all in multiple occasions.
Me noticing the 3 headset warnings: Aww they are so considerate to put those headset warnings. I love them so-- *still didnt remove the headsets in time, eardrums bleeding like Tanjiro being hit but the "joy's demon soundwave scream"
.. joke haha got my volume down always when in headset but thank you for warnings for the rest of the audience who didnt put the volume down. haha Love to see people scream at parts where I scream as well.

Last episode for season 3 demon slayer staff meeting:
Boss: Okay guys, we know at this scene, that Nezuko wont die and will just conquer the sun, but our viewers wont know that yet when Nezuko kicks tanjiro away so taht he could save the villagers. What do you suggest we add to this scene for further increase emotional damage?
Loki, the God of mischief, present in the staff meeting, disguised as that lazy employee that looks like he is only half listening: Why wont we add a past scene montage where Tanjiro and Nezuko are focused and a last shot where Nezuko is smiling as a human.
Boss: You just got promoted.
Also I feel like hantengue can never get a therapist because no one wants to listen to his back story hahhahaah 19:51
Something interesting about this episode is that in Muzan’s case, right before he was going to die, he committed a selfish, horrible act in killing his doctor, someone who was seemingly trying to help him, but Nezuko, despite the risk of death, sacrifices herself to save others. I’ve heard of theories that these could be results of something like karma. Muzan kills and becomes a demon, and Nezuko is rewarded by evolving or adapting, which she seems to have been doing pretty much since the start.
The thing is, if you rewatch it. Nezuko had stopped burning by the time she kicked Tanjirou. She probably figured then that she could withstand the sun. All other demons exposed to it burned up completely by that point.
I liked the contrasts this season; Muichiro vs his brother; the lovebreather who accepts herself and uses her strength to help humanity vs a demon who blames everyone for his atrocities but himself; and finally Nezuko and Muzan. One who has to "only massacre humans" to survive and who'd be burnt to a crisp when standing before god/the sun/ Amaterasu and the other who risks her life/sacrifices herself to protect others, and gets a divine pass
I love the Montage lol. I think its completely a justified moment of character development for Nezuko and its badass. The whole show Tanjiro has been attempting find a cure for his sister, but this is a moment she EARNS. In season 1 Nezuko is transformed and manages to achieve some sentience by her familial bonds with not only her older brother but also her mothers spirit. Her agency towards her journey is taken from her slightly when she is hypnotized to see all humans as members of her family, but slowly overtime we see that this wears off because she able to recognize not only Zenitsu and Inosuke but also Sanemi (Cause she really doesn't like him LOL).
By the second season we see her grapple with her demon side more. She tastes power, enjoys it and wipes the damn floor with Daki. She relishes in her anger and cruelty and she nearly devours humans! Its not until she is reminded of her mother, and finally is able to process the death of her family, that she is able to return to normal. Afterwards she obtains the power to burn away demon-poison (a metaphor for processing grief and absolving yourself from all that pent up anger that's hurting you?? lol maybe that's too deep)
Regardless, we get to the third season and more specifically this moment. Nezuko is able to reclaim part of her life back (being in the sun) directly after she makes the choice to act selflessly in the preservation of humans. Even when she is at her weakest and her most vulnerable she acts decisively and morally for both those civilians and her brother (By making an impossible choice for him). Just as Nezuko teaches us in the first season when she sees Tamayo and Yushiro as humans...Humanity isn't a state of being. It is choice and one we must make constantly
It was hypnotic suggestion, not hypnosis, so she was still seeing humans as her family by her own free will, it was just a bit of helpful encouragement from the suggestion. But yeah, over time, this encouragement is less and less needed.
To add to the conversation at the start, half Japanese kids get bullied and judged all the time if they have basically any hair colour other than black or dark brown
That was one of the spoilers my roommate blurted out to me after season 1 ended! Nezuko being a Daywalker..even knowing she would live it still hit hard...the writer did a good job with the emotional parts I think she deserves award for that...Tanjiro's panic attack!.. having lost people in my life I felt that....that demon slayer sword offer is nice😎..15%
Love watching you ladies react and was waiting for my notification when y’all’s video came up! One sick ass finale, here’s to waiting 2 years-ish for s.4 or a possible movie. 🎉
Hhaha it's funny how everyone thinks muzan must be pissed but instead he's the happiest of all🤣🤣🤣
Nezuko learned that the Angry Sun from Mario should be avoided.
I’m so happy for Tanjiro and Nezuko, truly! After all the horrible things that they’ve been through all these years they deserved that happy moment. Now they’re one step closer to making Nezuko completely human again!
Muzan was the first Demon and all the others were created from him (and possibly the Upper Moons, that's unclear)
Good job dead doctor, unleashing this on the world
The Kizuki cannot make demons… they can give blood to someone they want to make a demon, but Muzan makes the final choice if they can become a demon.
Tamayo is the only other demon that has created another (Yushiro).
Nezuko focused on her ultimate goal rather than self-developing or rather aging. Her goal was survival against the sun and as soon as she does it she can speak. So now that she has conquered the sun, she will be aging or at least acting her age and talking. Hopefully we will get to see more of her as a powerful demon.
The fact that Muzan avoided not to step on books but intentionally step on that woman .
obviously you will run far from village when demons are attacking why are you blaming them😂
Just a reminder, Nezuko's flames have never healed, they burn demons and their techniques. In season 2 what Nezuko did was just burn the poison that they all have
This just shows how the Kamado siblings are as heroes.
Tanjiro is torn between saving others and being selfish. If he's selfish enough he wouldn't be that indecisive but he still thought of how he could save both the villagers and Nezuko.
And Nezuko who chose to save the villagers over herself. And also to spare Tanjiro from that predicament of having both her and the villagers die if she didn't push him.
The montage represent tanjiro's memories
They literally played with everyone's emotions this episode 😂. I already knew that Nezuko will conquer the sun this season but yet couldn't hold myself tearing up a bit for that scene. Very amazing animation ny the artists 👏
That is the difference between reading manga vs watching it Animated (Moving characters).
@@sethdanielfernandez1239 Tbh i didn't even read the manga online spoilers gave me in. It's just that the animation by ufotable is next gen
They did mention in the first season that Muzan is the first demon
The middle girl is so tough emotionally. I love it 😅
Mitsuri was fighting an immortal demon non-stop for at least an hour. That’s extremely tiring and would be insanely difficult. She also would’ve decapitated and killed it very early on if it wasn’t immortal, all of that shows how strong she really is.
15:41 best blooper before the storm
18:07 I think most of us were just like that at that moment. The silence was so brutal.
Awesome reaction ❤ I was so looking forward to this. The best is yet to come.
Those swordsmiths came first which Nezuko realised thats why she kicked Tanjiro away. Remember Tanjiro is part of the demon slayer corp whos mainpurpose is to kill demons and to protect humans.
I’m a manga-reader and the Nezuko scene still had me a total mess. I remember in the manga, my heart just sunk… it also took me a little while to read beyond that because I didn’t want Nezuko to be gone; it hit hard.
Hell, I’ve watched this episode a few times now (2nd time was with the wife and kids and this was the 3rd) and I was still a mess during that scene.
I am so tempted to read the manga...should I?
@@thrilla72 I enjoy it. Honestly, the anime enhances the experience after reading the manga.
Nezuko is a demon that can conquer the sun. That's why muzan was planning to take nezuko so bad. (Spoiler alert) all demon slayers came to the infinity castle to stop muzan to reach nezuko. Even the hashira's
This episode made many reactor cry. I don't know how the reactors gonna do when the infinity castle and sunrise countdown arc were to be animated, no hashiras are safe
I love Morgan's reactions, "I dont care about his backstory!!!"😂 And can we get a count on how many times Sam said 'montage' on this episode😂
Literally every reactor had that same "Fu*k off, I don't care about your backstory."
Only to realise that he was as shitty as human as he is as a demon. Make me wonder how bad Gyokko was Considering they didn't even bother with his back story.
One of the only two non emotional back stories of UMs
After the said 6:21 i really sit down to watch the video ❤😂🔥
"Is Muzan like, the first demon?" No, that definitely wasn't explained at all lol. You know, the Demon King Muzan, the most powerful demon, that even the 12 Kizuki are afraid of. The longest living demon, the start of his flash back where he says it all started 1000 years ago, the same guy that controls other demons. Definitely not the first demon 😃
Mazan is a first demon 😈 Of course you should know that much
the little one burns while the other two soak in tears.
I love how Zenitsu always mentioned Grandpa, instead of Master showing he really lives his Grandpa so much which in manga big hit for Zenitsu. (spoiler)
my theory is that the doctor isn't dead he's like muzan and he was experimenting on him. That sword to the head isn't enough to kill him. Muzan isn't the last boss.
Yall made me cry like i did when i first saw it 😅 Morgan was always so excited for the demon backstories. but she couldn't care less right now! Same dude... same.
nezuko still isn't human she just conquered the sun 😌
If I didn't have found the movie reaction yesterday I would have certainly found it today
Lady Tamayo broke Muzan's curse long before she met Tanjiro and that's why she didn't need Muzan's permission to turn Yushiro.
Its a small detail that they throw in at 30:30, but this is a callback to the lady Muzan killed in the back alley all the way back in Season 1 Episode 7. When he overflows her with blood.
The girl in the first season had a different hairstyle and was killed with a finger straight to the forehead, unlike this one.
Aside from the unlikely case of the studio messing up the continuity, it's just a different girl altogether.
I love Hantengu soo much he is just soo cool 😆😆🤩🤩
Bruh 😭
@@CarlosSantiago-tv7qd what?🧐
I feel like they could have pushed it a little more to make it even more extreme since its such a big moment for nezuko. It feels pretty anticlimatic (the part where she just casually walks towards tanjiro) but it is already very emotional. Maybe if they show the whole process of nezuko conquering the sun it wouldve been even better.
The most shocking thing of this reaction is Sam not mentioning the animation at all 😬
Edit: made it to 47:47 nevermind lol
As a manga reader it's hilarious watching people freak out, I watched the episode and was like "lmao"
Muzan has just always been a straight up menace lmao. I was kind of scared if Nezuko at first because she gave off a little bit of a creepy vibe lol
tanjiro couldn't pick over his sister and the villagers because at the moment he became a demon slayer he also engraved within himself that those in need of help always come first, even if he didn't have a sister he would've gotten scolded or even kicked from the corpse or by other members for choosing a demon over a person.
23:42 they did it for the RUclips views
