I love seeing people's reaction to the beginning of episode 20. LOL All the hype and beautiful animation of episode 19 only for Rui to reveal he cut his own head off.
The earrings do look like the Imperial Japanese "Rising Sun" flag, but the earrings themselves are "Hanafuda earrings", Hanafuda is a really old gambling card game developed back in the day when one of the shoguns outlawed gambling. The card faces had no numbers or markings, and instead displayed several suites of images depicting nature and scenery. The sun is one of those suits, which also include the moon, mountains, flowers, etc.
The controversy was people thinking that Tanjiro's earrings were depicting the rising sun flag. Except they are not. It's a flower, not a sun. That's why they are called hanafuda earrings in the show (and not rising sun earring).
Actually, the design on Tanjiro’s earrings are of a sun with the sun rays, not a flower. Hanafuda (“flower card”) refers to the type of playing cards where a majority of the pictures on the cards were of flowers or plants. There are nature images also, such as deer, the sun and moon. The design of Tanjiro’s earrings are similar to the basic design of the hanafuda cards.
His sword never suddenly regenerated. It had just enough of the blade length left when it broke for tanjro to still fight, he just had to get extremely close to do the neck slice.
Love getting the emotional high of ep 19...then crashing down and realizing just how far out of his depth Tanjiro still is when facing the heavy hitters of the Demon Moons. Rui was Lower 5, or the second weakest Demon Moon.
The rising sun is commonly associated with the imperial flag but that pattern is actually much older than the flag, it appeared in a lot of art pieces as a simbol of Japan because this country is where the sun rises first in all Asia, in fact Japan (日本) literally means "origin of the sun": 日(sun), 本(origin). So the sun on Tanjiro earrings could simply symbolize Japan and also the sun breathing which you will know more about.
The earrings were passed down to Tanjiro from his father, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the father was the first to wear it or it was the father who stood menacingly over Muzan. During the flashback sequence, Tanjiro’s father said, “Tanjiro, at the very least, this kagura and these earrings will be passed down to you uninterrupted. It’s a promise...” This means that it was a family tradition for one father to pass down the Hinokami kagura and the earrings to his son down the generations in the Kamado family.
The main controversy is in China and Korea; which slightly altered the earrings as result of it resembling Japan’s flag from WWII, as during that time the Japanese empire invaded and occupied many parts of China and the entirety of Korea, which still causes resentment from China and Korea
There's not any controversy with the Hanafuda earrings, I have a pair myself, it's just that the rising sun image is a sore spot for the countries that Japan fought with, as it was the flag they used. If somebody fought you, a visual that reminded you of that time would upset you, too.
4:59 the rising sun was the Japanese imperial flag, or military flag during the Pacific war, so, for some Asian countries that is equal to the swastika.
I think this was name song you were trying to figure out in the intro (Anna as an example): Anna nana bo bana, banana fana fo fana Fee fie fo fana, Anna! Something like that; used to sing variations of that song for my little sisters and their friends waaay back when haha 😂
The rising sun flag was made way before WW2. And Koreans started linking it with the war just 10 years ago. They are the only people to claim such a thing. The rising sun flag is rather official flag of Japanese Navy. So there is nothing to be afraid of putting on. By the way I am Japanese.
She was not really given a chance to switch sides. She would've been torchered to death if she agreed to the butterfly girl's conditions. It was either die or run away to survive or kill butterfly girl.
Well actually it didn’t really matter if the girl demon had swaped sides, Shinobu said that she will torture her so that her sins will be forgiven and then finnaly kill her so she can be reborn (Shinobu has no sympathy for demons), regardless of the path the demon girl chooses her death was inevitable. Also Shinobu uses poison to kill cause she has no major arm strength to behead demons. Using poison is efficient for her.
Man, I know people say you can’t see the elements, but there’s some instances when that doesn’t make sense. Why would Zenitsu’s eye light up when he went beast mode like 2 episodes ago? And why could Tanjiro hear the lightning strike from far of it doesn’t exist? Lol. I like to believe you can see the elements XD
I love both Sam and Morgan! I especially love Morgan!! I'm enjoying this channel since last month. This channel is enjoyable for me. Sending love from Japan. Thanks for reading.
finally, a decent and legit reaction channel ^^ I hope comment mod can see this comment ;p Maybe you can consider to react to another anime genres, coz I see you so far just reacted to shonen - bloody type XD maybe try to alternate to some genres as breather, and to change the mood sometimes? Some recommendations: - Kaguya-sama : Love is War (comedy, romance, psychological) - Hyouka (mystery, slice of life, friendship, bit romance) - Haikyuu (sport) - Chihayafuru (blend of many genres XD ) - Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho
The only controversy are people who spend all day looking for things to get upset about. The rising sun was on the Japanese imperial flag. It's the flag Japan had when they were trying to take over parts of China and all the islands in the Pacific ocean. Which was around the same time period this show is based in. It's just simple history. It happened. Get over it.
Tomioka is giyu’s first name, in Japanese culture you’d call someone by their last name unless you were particularly close to them such as family/spouse.
Tomioka is his surname, or last name. It’s subtitled “Giyu Tomioka” (name surname) for western audiences; that’s why when someone actually says his name in the Japanese audio they say “Tomioka Giyu,” since in Japanese the surname is delivered before the first name.
19-20, precisely why Demon Slayer is a binge anime. You lose all the emotional build up from 19 by the time you watch 20 if you don't watch them back to back.
I love your Demon Slayer reactions, but I'm sad that in recent episodes you show so little of an actual reaction to the episode. The editing is so heavy that honestly, it feels just like watching a teaser...
The earrings are offensive to some (mostly in korea) because the earrings look like Japan's rising sun flag which is a symbol of japanese imperialism in ww2.
The Rising Sun Flag has been used as the second national flag and as the military flag for 150 years in Japan. And also, it is the flag to pray to HINOKAMI which means the sun god, and it has been used by many Japanese fishermen for the past centuries to catch many fish and to protect them from disasters.
I'm sorry, it will be a little longer. Japan ruled Taiwan and South Korea in World War II. Unlike the colonial policies of other Western countries, Japan developed infrastructure such as building a tube network, building schools and building dams, and not only robbed them, but also paid and bought local things. Taiwan and other Asian countries are grateful for it after the war, but only South Korea insisted that Japan had done cruel things and robbed South Korea of everything, and received a large amount of compensation. Not all Japan is right, but there is no reason why only books can be attacked at that time. The Japanese believed that South Korea was the last word, and if that was enough, they would accept it. However, South Korea occupies the taste and has created one after another the wrongdoing of Japan, probably because it did something wrong. One of them is the Rising Sun Flag. It is recognized by the world as the flag of the Japan Self-Defense Forces and stops at ports around the world. I used to call at a port in South Korea, but when a Korean player imitated a monkey in the 2011 soccer match against Japan and was about to be punished for insulting Japan, he said he did it because he saw the Rising Sun Flag in the audience. Well, from there this flag got a lot of attention in Korea. Since then, I've been blaming sites around the world for things like the Rising Sun Flag, as well as pictures of the sunrise. There was even a king crab's leg in it. Currently, South Korea is campaigning to buy Japanese products, but this Demon Slaye is running alone at the top. I don't think it will be screened in South Korea if it's enough to change this earring, but it's probably because of adults.
People avoid the Rising Sun imagery on Tanjirou's earrings because that was the flag used when Japan colonized a lot of Asian countries and committed a lot of war atrocities that they still refuse to acknowledge such as comfort women (women forced into prostitution for Japanese soldiers) - I've encountered old women still protesting in front of the Japanese embassy back when I was an exchange student, human experimentation (My Hero Academia also made a bad reference to this and had to formally apologize) and torture, etc
Japan literally means the land of the rising sun. So, generally speakig there is nothing wrong about the rising sun flag. Google 'Amaterasu' which is the goddess of the sun. The rising sun flag is derived from the goddess. Some people, however, associate it with the emperical era of Japan. But Tanjiro's era is way before WW2....so I really don't get why it became controverstial.

People are so weird about symbols. It is a fictional story.
His sword never suddenly regenerated. It had just enough of the blade length left when it broke for tanjro to still fight, he just had to get extremely close to do the neck slice.
Plus Nezuko's blood on the blade mixed with her blood demon art increased its power.

Rui was Lower 5, or the second weakest Demon Moon.
It’s crazy how powerful these demons are honestly!

11th form is a technique that Giyo himself invented so only he knows it thats why Tanjiro was suprised by an "11th" form.
Giu praised Tanjiro. That's praise from sempi, which is huge in Japanese culture.
LOVE Giu! -Sam

It’s actually spelled giyu
It's actually senpai not sempi

You can actually see the fire that nezuko created that was her demon blood art she can make her blood explode
All the voice actors of Demon Slayer are good at acting, but I think that the voice actors of Demon are also good at acting.
I think Giyu was cool.
