| So Zenitsu got struck by lightning and inherited the Thunder Breathing technique. I think he also gained the power of a thunder god with the way he moved around in the first form Thunderclap and Flash. Even though he only knows one move from the Thunder Breathing Technique he can still charge it up to increase its attack power. Gramps was the only person that never gave up on him and that was all he needed to move forward. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this episode. Zenitsu is great & I love him. Also Chuntaro (?), the sparrow, is adorable. For manga readers, Never mind. I finally had time to look through the chapters and answer my own question. |

Thanks. I'm planning on reading the manga once the anime is finished. |

Sleeping Zenitsu taking out the trash |

That animation is off the chain. I had to re watch this scene several times. |
|
| They need to put a disclaimer whenever we get a Zenitsu focused episode. He brutally raped my ears again for the entirety of the first half of the episode. Animation during fights was top tier, it always amazes me how well they manage to combine 3D CGI with traditional 2D animation and frankly, it's one of the only things that still keeps me from dropping this anime. |
 |
| For the first time since I started watching this anime I was proud of Zenitsu. |

huntress1013 said: The show already lost a point. It could be so good but the two new additions ruin everything and the humour so does not work for me. I currently just wish that Zenitsu would die or leave because he is bloody annoying. Always has been and it is not getting better. LOL. Zenitsu is 2nd most popular character in the latest manga polling. Just wish as you can. |
 |
| Those spiders were creepy as fuck, I can't blame Zenitsu there... that's straight nightmare fuel right there! So Zenitsu's hair colour isn't natural and was actually caused by a lightning strike. Poor guy has always lived his life with so much fear. I can totally see why he hates himself.. To him it feels like living in hell every day. I actually am feeling sorry that he's the way he is. After a little screaming and crying he passed out in the tree and his bad-ass side appeared. I am actually impressed that he can dodge all those spiders and venom with ease, but not surprising with such sharp hearing as Zenitsu. Poor guy is suffering from the spider bite now :/ So daddy spider showed up, he looks strong but is he one of the 12 demons? |
 |
| After knowing Zenitsu's backstory, am I the only one who think Zenitsu will be the strongest character despite him not being the main character of this series? People are too mesmerized with the animation, but let's not forget the epic sound effect. |

Himawari9 said: Yup, I understood that and that's why I LOLed after "Master...I mean Gramps!" Master is also correct as he is not Zenitsu's Grandfather. Zenitsu just called him Grandpa to show familiarity and gratitude for saving him from debt collectors. And there is a mistranslation, there are 6 forms in Breath of Thunder, not 3 and Zenitsu can only uses the first form but he honed the only move he knows to the limit. ExaltedChampion's reply pointed out earlier, and that's why I assumed he perfected the only one form he knows in my first post. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Great episode sasuga ufotable. Its time for Zenitsu to show his power and character. Like the brief flashback. He defeat that demon with his single strike technique, that scene is majestic. Im hyped for other upcomi ng fights, and hashiras fight too. To the next episode. |
 |
| -No parents -Bullied went he was a kid -Wanted to grow stronger to help everyone -Trained by an OP old man -Doesn't always believe in himself but went he does he 1 shots everything in his wake (although 1 shooting things is a common thing in this anime). Zenitsu has main character potential and a lot of shonen MC traits |
 |
| I hated these parts in the manga because I hate spiders but knew I couldn't miss/skip it because of Ufotable's treatment of it.lol. |
 |
| Zenitsu Was one of the characters that everybody disliked till his/her last days or the story behind him, he one of them and I now have sympathy for him. It's interesting to see the backstory of his colored hair, but anyway, this was an intense episode. |
 |
| An all Zenitsu episode was pretty great, I liked finally seeing into his backstory |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Really creepy spider boy D:< ! I'm really thankful for al the zenitsu backstory and context, now some things make more sense e_e I'm an anime only but... what if the father is not one of the twelve moons and is actually rui the kid that has one eye hiding beacuse of his hair? |
 |
| Zenitsu's other self makes me want to chew on the screen, while his other side makes me want to fix it and rewatch his moves! Pretty messed up dude. His powers and movements are way cooler than Tanjiro's, like the way he lightning slashed the guy. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Dislike Zenitsu less now. He may only have one attack, but it was cool as shit (also really strong). Not sure how he's gonna get saved now that spider pops has showed up. I guess it has to be the reinforcements that were otw a while back. |
| honestly this episode just reinforces my hope of present Zenitsu and future Zenitsu going in the usual shounen growth fashion ,he just needs to tone done the screaming just a bit ya know . after seeing that face doubt the high rank is father he seems kinda like a mindless brute |
 |
| Zenitsu is still an anchor around the neck of this show, but he has moments of being a tolerable character. I'm just hoping after this fight that he starts to become something actually watchable, because though his action moments are great, they are just moments. They don't make up for the rest of the time he's on screen. |
| I always thought Zenitsu was a great and amusing character. This episode made me sad. Also fuck y’all who don’t like him lol |
| Oscar and Andre deserved better |
| This episode was obviously one of my favorites because Zenitsu is definitely my favorite right next to Tanjirou. Zenitsu is one of those characters that you either love or hate. Many hate him for panicking and freaking out but I love that part of him. Some might even give him shit for knowing only one form of the breathe of thunder but he still defeated that demon that others failed to eradicate. He's going to defeat a lot of strong demons in the future too. Inosuke will also develop a lot and become less of a boar. We might be lucky to end this arc by the 19th episode but I have a feeling it might extend up to the 20th. |
| 臭い- |
| No one can blame Zenitsu for being so scared of that creepy ass looking spider demon. Christ, I would have acted in the same way if not worse. Fuck that shit! Man, it was such a fantastic episode. I honestly feel bad for saying Zenitsu was annoying when he was first introduced. Now, I only want to give him a big hug :/ I really REALLY hope he soon realizes just how strong and skilled he actually is. And the animation when he did his technique... simply astonishing. Once again, Thanks Ufo. As always, really looking forward to next week! P.S.: "Kimetsu Academy" spin-off when? |
| This would have been a good episode if it wasn't for the inessant fucking shouting. Is am absolutely sick of everyone shouting constantly. |
| Nice thunder rush. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| best boi strikes again his backstory was so sad, I'm proud of him for overcoming all of this. My son better become the strongest character in the series and learn to love himself. So Zenitsu only knows one movement and perfectioned it so well he can control the damage he does? I believe the intensity of the lightning was not the same during his first fight. And he did say "sixfold/sextuples" before hitting the spider garbage. Also, I'm pretty sure the guy who bullied him is the current Pillar of Lightening? Just like I'm 100% certain Tomie is the Pillar of Water. Because they trained under old sensei who taught them their Breath Style and now they're in the OP looking mysterious and stuff. |
| "You are not the brightest banana in the bunch, are ya kid? (...) These kids just keep getting weirder." |
| Wtf tanjiro was no able to cut off his hand? I've hope that Zenitsu will stay alive. He's too good character go just kill him |
| Zenitsu just went toe to toe with my biggest nightmare so i have mad respect for the guy! I don't care if he's a wimp when he's awake, he is hella fucking cool when he releases the Thunder Technique! I really love Inosuke's personality; the way he wants Tanjiro to praise him and care about him but he's so tsundere about it haha Poor Tanjiro has just become a glorified babysitter for 2 insane Demon Slayers haha |
 |
| I can see why Zenitsu is second most popular character in this show. He's an actual badass when he gets serious. |
| Well, for once, I think that Zenitsu's freakouts in this episode were justified. For, I too, am afraid of those so called things called spiders, let alone those kind of demonic spiders. Anyway, Zenitsu finally had his time to shine, go to see more of his past, I feel pretty bad for the guy. |
| “What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?” ― Lelouch Vi Britannia |
| I thought that Zenitsu would become my favourite character in the show, and I wasn't disappointed. I love his backstory and the philosophy that defines him - I hope he has another big episode like this in the future. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Zenitsu is tied with Tanjiro as my favorite character in the show He's literally how any normal person would act in those circumstances and I hope he becomes the strongest demon slayer in the future That animation is so beautiful thank you ufotable |
 |
| if only Zenitsu can shut the fuck up, he actually a very cool guy bruh, look at that attack animation |
| That was a really good episode. Must re-watch in near future. Zenitsu is definitely a favorite of mine. |
| felt really slow and it only focused on Zenitsu. not that there is a problem or anything but still, we could have seen much more than that. Inosuke is really fun XD |
| Not only was this episode drawn out soo much it also focusted on the worst character in the show fucking Zenitsu. I hate his so much the episode is literally 90% of him screening and crying and we are supposed to feel bad for him? What a fucking waste of an episode. |
| I can't blame Zenitsu for panicking and screaming at the hideous-looking spider. I don't have a phobia to spiders at all, but even I would be crapping myself if a spider that size came after me, spitting out its poison every second. >_< The episode did give us a well-needed backstory for Zenitsu and how he was saved by "Gramps" from debt collectors. Gramps is a former demon slayer himself and one who used to be one of the highest ranking of the lot. Even so, training Zenitsu must've been tough, even for a powerful guy like Gramps. The backstory also shows how Zenitsu got his hair colour the way it is. Before, his hair colour was black, but after getting struck by lightning while up in the tree, panicking as usual, his hair colour immediately changed to it yellow with the end bits in orange. After he lost conscious, though, Zenitsu properly got into his stride. He only knows one form of his lightning style, but he's honed that form brilliantly, as it resulted in a beautifully animated scene of him killing the spider on one hit. Once again, superb job, ufotable! ^_^ Meanwhile, with Tanjiro and Inosuke, they've encountered the spider dad and even Tanjiro is unable to cut through the guy's arm with his sword. I just hope the two eilte demon slayers get to Tanjiro and Inosuke in time to help them against this Twelve Kizuki member and take him down. |
| I'll call the lightning guy Pikatsu just for the lulz. Another great episode with awesome animations. I really like where this show is going. |
 |
| Zenitsu has officially went SICKO MODE this episode |
