| The pillars are a crazy odd bunch. What a cliffhanger at the end. I wonder how Nezuko will react? Dat Love Pillar thou. I was planning to wait till the series is completed and watch them all on marathon, but I can't help it. This anime is too good. But the cliffhangers are killing me. Gotta try to wait till the series is done again. |
| Im kinda surpised of the amount of people that hating on these pillars. I remember when i read this chapter i don't give a damn when sanemi cut nezuko, maybe it's because im not really a fan of her. Lol I can't blame these people for hating on sanemi, but i can't blame sanemi either, especially when you know about how fucked up his backstory is. And the truth about his blood is even make his character way more tragic. And sanemi is probably my second most favorite pillars after rengoku, i liked his design a lot especially in the anime.

HereticHunter said: he's triggering her,if she don't attack him after this its a bigger proof,so they are really sure that nezuko is truly a nice demon that don't attack humans.nanashi796 said: to them she is a fucking demon that must be killed defenseless or not, they don't give a shit if she's a cute sister, waifu or any of this dumb things,or if she hasn't killed or eat anyone in like 2 years,stop saying stupid things,before accepting her they need proof that she will never eat anyone,and sanemi's blood is the biggest proof. This is not a good way to write a character who hates Insert enemy here that has to reconsider his point of view after certain circumstances. Beating up someone in order to prove that it doesn't represent a threat to anyone is as stupid as beating a dog and not expecting it to fight back. I know they won't just accept Nezuko easily but watching this edgelord torturing Nezuko just doesn't feel right. Most of these pillars are blinded by mere hatred, which makes them one dimensional, boring and terrible characters. What kind of a organization is this, if most of its members can't even take in consideration what their Master told them? ( Blame it on the Master too as he couldn't control his pack of edgelords.) Only 3 of them (4, counting the master) gave Nezuko the benefit of the doubt, yet, they didn't straight up accepted her, which is more realistic than beating the shit out of Nezuko and expecting her not to fight back in order to prove she isn't a threat. |

| Ya all the Hashira's (cept our boi) are kinda assholes. Not really a surprise. Is it really that hard to write characters that can show a little compassion and respect for demons like Tanjiro? That's why I like em so much. Well it's beyond obvious that Nezuko will not die, and I'm sure all these guys will redeem themselves eventually so w/e. I do wonder if Nezuko will make and scene here and we'll have to waste some episodes proving she's a good girl. |
| We finally get to see the mysterious master of the Slayers. The Love Pillar was really funny and cute and the Wind Pillar is kind of an asshole. I was looking forward to the part where the Wind tempted Nezuko but ended in a cliffhanger GOD DAMNIT |
 |
| FUCK THAT ENDING HOLY FUCKING SHIT |
| These are the least cool, least intimidating group of "elite" characters I have ever seen. They look (and act...) like the bad OC's you'd maybe make as a teen if you were especially edgy. If I didn't know about this show and you told me they were just some characters from a comedy show cosplaying, I'd 100% believe you. They just look so silly... Their designs so cluttered... Also does literally EVERY character in this show need to be some extreme caricature? Is that really the only way the author knows to make them and their introductions "unique" and "interesting"? The pacing this ep was as a poor as ever too--we got what feels like less than half an episodes worth of material. I mean it started and ended on the SAME godamn conversation, and we're not even finished with it... I'm getting so tired of this show. I'm being super negative here, I get it, but if it weren't for those sweet visuals and soundtrack--that sweet very hype signature Ufotable audiovisual experience--I have no doubt in my mind that this'd be lambasted for the terribly generic, contrived and cliché shonen it really is. To say something positive though--because I really don't want to sound too whiny here--I liked this part quite a bit, ngl. My heartstrings were (KIND OF) tugged. Tanjirou and this guy (though me being unable to remember his name isn't a good sign...) are probably my favourite characters of this show. Nezuko used to be too, don't get me wrong--before I realised she was just another typical cardboard shonen female character, with absolutely zero memorable personality or unique/interesting character traits (apart from being super "cute") and is only there to service fans and provide fuel for the main guy's feelings and actions. Though I guess this show has at least done us the courtesy of offering a "reason" for the lazy writing... Kinda... "She's a demon (but can't act at all like any other demon because that'd be too difficult to write) so she's a bit retarded, ok?" "...she makes a lot of cute noises though" "I know you weebs eat that shit up!" Fuck, it seems to have worked for enough people, so I gotta hand it to them that it's a job well done. They've even set her up in such a way where she's not even expected to have any real conscious thought past "protect human", "fight bad guy" and "growl loud loud when brother hurt hurt". And with that whole sleep box thing--she only ever has to be there when the author really needs to use her! It's perfect! She's almost as perfect a plot device as that whole sleep hypnosis thing that was apparently done to her... Which was so well explained and set-up, and NOT extremely contrived and cheap... Like that random ass power-up Tanjirou (along with Nezuko and her new-found "blood powers"...) so conveniently got a few episodes ago when he (and the author) were written into a corner for the sole sake of getting to have a true epic "sibling power" moment (THAT WASN'T AN ASSPULL BY THE WAY, OR LIKE "FRIENDSHIP POWER"!! DEMON SLAYER ISN'T LIKE THE OTHER SHONEN OK MOM?!), or all the oh-so serious injuries this show goes on about Tanjirou sustaining, that end up never being of ANY actual consequence whatsoever to him or the plot--if the author wants to ignore them then oh boy they will, like with Tanjirou's supposedly "broken jaw" from last episode... (A brief passing mention and a few extra grunts is always enough right?). |

| the Hashiras seemed to be the weird kind of guys, besides Tomioka, Sanemi may become my favorite, even as an asshole I kind of understand both sides, but indiscipline bores me, but what a great cliffhanger; it kind of made me want to go read the manga |
| the cliff hanger =_= episode was a little boring tbh i liked some of the pillars and disliked others. beside shinobu, mitsuri is my fav. the pillars are free to hate and distrust demons (i'm sure they all have tragic backstories or whatever), but i'm disappointed/shocked how freely they reject what their Master says. |
| Giyu Tomioka. What a man, sacrificing himself for a brother and sister he just met. This guy is clueless but a goddamn hero. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| the pacing was annoyingly slow lol |
| moe moe ichijou seiya |
| ok so i know all the pillars are good guys and are on tanjirou's side later on but i still cant help but FUCKING HATE THAT BITCHASS'S GUTS FOR STABBING MY GIRL NEZUKO!!! |
| after episode 21, I decided to finally read the manga because of the cliffhangers lol. But anyways, not surprised most people already hate the pillars. Never liked them nor hated them and not sure I will ever will yet. |
| I really liked the symbolism at the beginning with Giyu on Tanjiiro's side, facing the pillars, whereas all the pillars are facing Tanjiro and Giyu. Very subtle. Forgot how much a cunt this guy was tho, someone really needed to put him in his place. He got his orders, he should have listened to them like the mindless attack dog he is. This is reminding me why I pretty much only like Giyu. |

Esquirtit said: Joei-12 said: ehh I can't understand something, reading the comments say that the pillars are stupid because their attitude. But Giyu in the first episode have the same actitud, he haven't belive in the words of Monjirou, he cut nezuko and trai to kill her, nd it wasn't until he saw that nezuko protected his brother that he changed his mind why people forgive Giyu and judge the Pillars?? When he arrived Nezuko was on top of Tanjiro, and it was the first day of her transformation and family's death. It's not the same situation as in this episode where they are told she has never eaten a human after 2 years, and she's in a box posing no threat to anyone. It's the fact one of them impaled her with his sword, it gives off this vibe that it's trying too hard to be edgy with needless gore, it amounts to portraying the Demon Corps like idiots as always. In reality enough witnesses with credibility gave their thoughts, they could sit in a room and look at Nezuko being cute and shit because that's literally what happened in the story already. But yeah Giyu is a retard too for talking shit to Tanjiro in the first episode, it was his fault that he came too late to save everyone. We the viewers can see that tanjirou telling the truth, but the in-universe character don't. They even ask Tanjirou what kind of proof does he have that she hadn't or will not attack human. Also what credible witness? Giyuu who haven't seen them in 2 years and know nothing about what happen to them all that time? Urokodaki who have a soft spot for his pupil and also haven't meet tehm for sometime now? Inosuke and Zenitsu, 2 rookies and currently out of commission? Also Wind Pillar probably the one that have the hardest time accept this due to his past. |
| Shinazugawa seems insane but after you read the manga or perhaps after the second, third, etc. season (but I suggest reading the manga) you will understand why he acts the way he does. Just like each demon Tanjirou fights have their own tragic backstory, so do the Hashira or Pillars. Just remember, the saying "everyone has a story" rings true in this series. |
| 臭い- |
| Yeah... not a big fan of that Sanemi guy. I guess he has quite the tragic backstory to somehow justify the fact of him being so closed minded but for now, he can die in a pit for all I care. Quite tense episode overall. The Pillars were finally presented and as I expected, they all are as eccentric as I thought. In terms of personalities and looks, they definitely are an odd bunch of people. And that cliffhanger tho... this show sure knows how to leave me wanting more. Now, I can't wait for next week to come. P.S.: Giyuu and Urokodaki willing to give their lives for Nezuko? Man, such bros. |
Himawari9 said: Levi_Ackerman_30 said: I already past this when I read the manga. I be talking it here from the point when I first read this part. I hate half all those pillars they are piece of shit. Sanemi and Iguro as biggest asshole even among of them.I will not sympathy for them if they die at any point of this series. Giyu,Tokitou,Shinobu and Kanroji are exception rest of them are assholes. They all racist You guys think Giyu was racist but reasonable rest are far worse. I question If it wasn t giyu that met Tanjirou in woods another pillar. I can only see Kanroji besides Giyu sparing Nezuko in that woods. Rest most likely won t they kill Nezuko and i give Shinobu benefit of the doubt even then I am not sure Overally great episode. I hate Sanemi and Iguro They are Demon Slayers for god-sake so of course they will kill demon. Racist? You made me laugh. It is wrong to use that word in this situation. If a human was killed by a tiger and we killed that tiger, are we racist? The demons' instinct is killing and eating human. They have never encounter a demon that doesn't kill human since all of them sooner or later succumb to their instinct and kill even their own family including the good demon Tamayo. All of them have their family, friends, comrades killed by demons so you should understand that they hate demons to their core. Yeah yeah You justifying racism of Saneni and Iguro. Then you are as blind as racist as they are. A lot people suffer Like they do they turn out like racist pricks like Sanemi and Iguro? You made laugh even more for justyfying racism with single minded mentality of yours. Despite explanations and reasonable explainations from Urodoaki and Kagaya. Giyu friends and family has been kill by all demons yet he is more reasonable half of them. He has far more reason and hatred to demons they most of them as his friends and familys got directly kill by demons yet he far more reasonable. Nezuko got push to point because of action Demons. Normal situation she does not do that. I don t see your point. That extreme situation. Put In normal situation she never eat human. They go around justyfying racism especially with garbage attitudes like Sanemi and Iguro. When they just being extra asshole and overtop racism. You are too much single minded mentality which is laughable The fact they are not willing to listen and get into black and white morality. They are all being too short sighted. Despite explanation and reasonable facts from urodoaki letter. |

That's the most stupid thing you can do Change the score and opinion of a whole anime from "good" to "a masterpiece" because of one episode? That's the most stupid thing you can do I guess you mean the opposite of it, changing from 7 to 10, and you mean those who did it because of episode 19 That's also a stupid thing if you ask me, changing the score so much because of just one episode, no matter which way you do it Of course I changed rating after ep.19 too, but I only raised it from 9 to 10 |

Racism is irrational and have no good reason while here, the fact that most demon kill and eat human and enjoying it give a really good reason why they don't trush demon Nezuko is a exception that she don't eat people. Even tamayo eat people before snap out of that. Gyuu is difference, he have the chance to witness Nezuko protect her family which never happen before or since, Sanemi isn't. In fact what he witness is opposite to what happen to Tanjirou and Nezuko. |

| If I was Tanjiro I also would have given that guy a headbutt, how dare you hurt Nezuko. I hope she kicks his ass in the next episode. |

Anyway, to be fair I didn't hate Giyuu from the beginning of this series, after all, he's the reason Tanjirou is still alive. |

| Good episode overall, finally get to meet all the Hashiras and the Master is also there. Gosh, that scarred face edgy boi is really a prick, I hope he steps on a lego. |

That's straight up torture, what do they expect in return from doing that? flowers? Give me a break, this is stupid. One of them is straight up carrying a snake around. If it is revealed to be venomous the same can be said about him. |
| Good episode as its always been so far. Quick question - Is there no Thunder Hashira in this current generation? I figured with Zenitsu's flashback the guy who was shouting at him was probably Tomioka's equivalent the way he went on and thought he was probably one of the group. But it seems not? Does that mean Zenitsu is the highest rank student of his breathing technique in the current generation? |
| the ending fuked my eyes.. |

WorldoverHeaven said: - When you say soft are you suggesting he's actually weak? Do you judge the merits of leadership simply on ruling with an Iron fist or someone who actually uses logic and reason. So far the master has demonstrated prudence by not being consumed by vengance his subordinates have shown. master is a soft pearson WorldoverHeaven said: - You are blatantly ignoring the fact who are these people vouching for her sake. Those people happen to be those whom they're supposed to respect and follow.... if it only takes a word of 3 people to convince you... WorldoverHeaven said: - This scenario came to be because the bloodthisrty pillars disregarded the command of their master and the testimony AND VOW of individuals willing to die for it.... the other side need to make a good argument for killing nezuko witch they are doing by seeing will she attack the bleeding dude WorldoverHeaven said: - Ah, we get to the nitty gritty of your reasoning. You see... you're not wrong to have such a sentiment but you need to understand one thing. We have Rules(laws) that govern us. The character Winston from movie John Wick said it best "Rules. Without them, we'd live with the animals" With that in mind; Instead of demons lets make it more realistic and say they're criminals: Rapist, pedophiles, drug lords, human traffickers and murderers. Obviously people like yourself would want them dead asap but in a society of laws we don't dish out good old street justice because when people take the law into their hands anarchy takes hold and society as we know it collapses.... if i'm at war with demons who killed my family and so many other people and boss suddenly says to let this one live because 3 people told him so of course i'm going to disobey him |

I can understand not trusting her immediately but impaling her with a sword is simply retarded (she was in a small box ffs). I mean they are aware good demons do exist in this world right? You would think if the leader ordered to bring her to him something's right. Note that we don't see them discuss any of the facts, they were being retarded. They were being violent for the sake of it while waiting for their leader to arrive and clear things up. Needless gore and edge imo What hat about those birds, how bad are they at relaying information. Why didn't Urokodakimore tell he hypnotized her. This is the same organization that sends kids to their death in a trial so whatever. And lowest of the low demon slayers to a place where hundreds have died just to get that death count running high lol what |
