You know most girls don't just like a guy who's handsome/cute? Their personality matters too, especially in anime. And when you compare Inosuke and Tomioka Giyuu most girls would prob like Giyuu more. Just some food for thoughts.

Why the fck does the boar dude look like a damn woman? trap of the series?
Loved the boar V Tanjiro bit a lot, Tanjiro OP af, dude broke boars ribs and knocked him the hell out.
Love how Tanjiro acts around them, the boi is too random. Comedy kicks in well.
Zenitsu is too noisy for my taste, one can only hope he sleeps 24/7.
Also Nezuko finally popped out, her changing from loli to teen form was adorable.
Anyways glad he finally got his well deserved rest, he was really pushed to his limits.


He is not a trap, he is a bishounen. And he is one of the manliest men in the series.

Then just drop this because the comedy will increase in the future. This is a breather from all the fighting.

And comedy is subjective, there will be people like it, people don't. And obviously, there are a lot of people like it since this series has been on the top rank of Shounen Jump poll for a long time. Maybe Japanese sense of comedy doesn't suit you.

That was quite the "Tanjiro's bizarre adventures" between the boar head guy who has a fight wish and loves striking his head against trees, the easily scared boy who suddenly changes into a real slayer after seeing Nezuko, the talking crow etc

Funny overall, but it might not please everyone since the show lost - at least for this episode - its dark & serious atmosphere.

The post-credits scene was very funny as well, especially with Nezuko swapping her bamboo for a baguette haha

SIGH.

This used to be a show I enjoyed so much. And then Dumb and Dumber showed up. I cannot stand the annoying over the top for no good reason voices and repetitive ridiculous actions of those 2 morons. I'm sure it's all very good in the manga, but at least there we don't have to listen to them.

I dearly wish it was just an arc I'd have to put with, but it seems those imbeciles are here to stay.


Exacly my thoughts. This show is getting more and more annoying. I loved first episodes which had a serious, dark atmosphere but now it completly evaporated. There were two extremly irritating characters added as if one wasn't enough to completly ruin this series.

What a waste, so much potential ruined. Instead of epic adventure we have less then medicore comedy show.

Well, the appearance of Inosuke was something unexpected, I imagined someone full of scars and masculine and rude features, but his face is very feminine and ridiculous to see, personally this was hilarious, now I understand his horrible personality, I must rescue that his fighting style is interesting, erratic and difficult to follow and his flexibility was so creepy that gave me chills.
How satisfying it was to see the blow that Tanjirou gave to Inosuke and after breaking some ribs he sent him straight to the ground, but then that hard headbutt that he gave to Inosuke to knock him out was magnificent, to hear Zenitsu describe the sounds of the broken bones made me laugh too much.

On the other hand, Nezuko returned in all her glory, I think it was the most adorable thing when she came out of her box and returned to her original form, but what made me burst with laughter was the ridiculous Zenitsu and the stupid and exaggerated reaction that he has, I want to see what he will say when Tanjirou tells him that Nezuko is his younger sister.

The episode was quite pleasant, a breath after so many battles, also gave us indications of the upcoming events that are coming, although this is just my guess.
The humor took this episode, despite being very simple situations, I laughed a lot, Inosuke is too childish in his attempts to provoke Tanjirou and seeing the three guys ended up with their broken ribs was very funny, the same with the conversation they had while they were lying on their futons.

Apparently in the next episode a new mission will come for these three guys, if Giyu appeared at the end of the episode that means he will appear in the next episode?

The comedy is so forced and weak. It's not the first time the anime presents a really tense situation and forgets it immediately for the sake of "comedy" that is basically just characters shouting and being annoying. I really hope we stop seeing the boar mask and the coward Naruto soon.

LOL people are complaining about them screaming at each other, not realizing that their "annoying banter" is canon and is part of the manga. Yes, it's not everyone's cup of tea but these zany antics are part of the manga. There will be more of it in the future.

I loved the episode. One of the many reasons I love Zenitsu is hot he distorts his face when he's losing his shit.

I'm guessing many girls will empathize and love Inosuke for being handsome or being a pretty boy but honestly, he's not even the coolest or most good-looking dude in the show. There are many demon slayers and demons they have yet to introduce who surpass him in the looks department and of course, technique and strength. I still love the bastard though despite him being fucking annoying most of the time.

I'm glad they finally showed Nezuko meeting Zenitsu and Inosuke for the first time.

The show had a very good start the first 6-7 episodes, being loyal to the dark tense atmosphere. Most recent chapters is a bunch of unfunny characters randomly yelling for the sake of the cheap comedy.

I like how everybody is hating on this because it’s funny that this show was gonna get axed and the moment zenitsu appeared in the manga it literally saved the show and that’s when it started getting popular . It sounds like most of ya only watch this for Nezuko so how about just stop watching the show if you just wanna watch a cute little girl

People Complaining about the comedy. Lol I think this type of shounen didnt suit you guys. I always thinking that there is two type of shounen anime: the one that have a lot of comedy in it, and KnY is one of them. and the one that so fucked up it's should be called seinen rather than shounen (Like Fire punch and ChainsawMan)

It's so hilarious reading comments like this everytime in this forum when you read the manga and know everything that will happen, it's like reading a bunch of 15 years edgy teenagers whining because there's some comedy in their dark and edgy shounen "muh serious and dark shounen is ruined waaah" lmaooo

People don't understand the contrast of mood. The lighter stuff help highlight the darker one. It misconception that for it to be good it have to be mature, serious, gritty, no smiles are allow. Example: the DC cinematic universe.

I remember saying this in the manga, but man, he's ugly. And fucking annoying. This guy voicing him doesn't make it any better since he usually voices mediocre characters and appear way too often in general.

Zenitsu isn't much better, he's just on the opposite end of the spectrum. They cannot grow up fast enough. I can't believe I forgot about how bad they were. At least it gets much better.

why am i so well drawn into time travel stories?

Hahaha, what a fun episode 😂.
Tanjiro broke four ribs to Inosuke and left him convulsing with a headbutt. I thought that behind that mask of Boar was someone with a very masculine face or with scars, but no ... it is another of those characters with a woman's face. It's the man with the face of a girl xD. I must admit that Inozuke is good at fighting, besides, his evil laugh gives a lot of laughter. LOL. And despite not having a family, it is not assumed in misfortune. He only cares about finding strong rivals 😅.
Interesting story of the demon hunters and the family of the coat of arms of the wisteria.
Zenitsu's reaction to seeing Nezuko was very funny 😂.
This trio of demon slayers will get a lot of laughs 😁.

PS: What's up with the advance ?, LOL. Poor Zenitsu xD.

Oh dear Lord, that hand-to-hand fight was almost orgasmic. And the comedy during this episode was actually excellent, I don't know what happened but I couldn't stop laughing xD Tanjirou, Zenitsu and Inosuke sure have a great dynamic when it comes to comic relief.

Overall, it was a very calm episode, almost considered to a filler level but it was of the ones I enjoyed the most without a doubt.

P.S. 1: Ohhhh mini Nezuko is so fuc*ing cute >.<

P.S. 2: The after-credits sequence was pure gold, by the way xD

zenitsu and inosuke are two of the best characters of the manga,they have the best character development and tanjiro is one of the best shonen mc ever, the chemistry between them is just great,they are all flawed characters now,this is just a comedy chapter between arcs,later return to be bloodshed and people turned into little squares and triangles by demons,people will die,after a big battle the wounded ones go even in coma,victory is always achieved with some sacrifice of a character because the demons are strong af and they have to gank agains them,every demons have characterization and flashback,a series that is only dark without a bit of comedy is just boring,kimetsu no yaiba begins now ,this was just all introduction,personally this is in my top 5 shonen ever,even better than gintama,hxh and fma,better than gintama only because sorachi comedy is shit,repetitive crap dicks jokes everywhere especially in the final arc that was dragged af and was boring af too,kimetsu comedy is much better.

For those who can't tolerate the comedy part of the show, you have three choices:

- Wait untill the show finish and watch it all in a row, so you can skip the part you hate and still have much content remain to watch. I know it upset when you wait one week and you hate all of 20 minutes and got nothing.

- Reading manga instead, because you can skip the comedy part or mute Zenitsu and Inosuke as much as you want.

- Just drop this series, please, I assure that it'll stay like this, serious tone contrast with comedic tone.

No matter how much you complain it, curse it, sent threatening letter to ufotable, it'll be the same.

I feel sorry for you guys that pick wrong series and think that it's about edgy guy with revenge story but it turn out to be a kind-hearted idiot guy along with his pet imouto and two idiot friends.

I'm not wrong though, lots of people like other people whether in fiction or real life, simple due to the fact that they're attractive. You didn't say anything that i already didn't know. There are a lot of characters that surpass even Giyuu that have yet to be introduced.

like Zenitsu said ...give me back the time i wasted writing on the forum last episode about him being a good guy ... holy shit if i ever make a most hated character list, he might as well take the number 1 position ... not even Nino (who was super bad at start and now i kinda like her) ever annoyed me 1/10 as much as this guy ...

i mean, even the boar guy is better, at least he is like that because he was raised in the wild or whatever... i bet Zenitsu doesn't even have that kind of excuse
not to mention, at least the boar guy makes me laugh multiple times per episode, while zenitsu just... no.


other than that, the episode was good, the fight was fun to watch,. the boar headbutting the trees was fun too, and ofc, seeing Nezuko was the best part of the last 3 episodes

I can't stand Zenitsu. His exaggerated reactions are obnoxious. I really don't have a problem with him being weak and cowardly, but he could be less loud about it. The story could definitely do without him.

The boar dude seems OK. I don't think he's dumb, he simply lacks social skills.

Both of these characters will get better as the show progresses. Still, I think it was a bad move to introduce them at the same time. It doesn't feel like a natural thing to do, considering how different their personalities are.

And while episode 11 annoyed me, and I skipped parts of it, somehow here I didn't mind the screaming, and the comedy played out well for me. But I couldn't watch this for 26 episodes, so next give me episodes like 7 and 8, those were the bests.
