The Rock Pillar was crying the whole time during training because he was the only one who knew Oyakata was going to die. I had assumed that was just a character quirk. Edit: Also VIZ is now translating this manga every Monday so that's nice. I Am Fowl fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Dec 17, 2018 |

Here's the latest preview with more than 2 seconds of animation. This is a re-upload because the official one is region-locked for some fuckheaded reason, so it might just go away at some point. Looks...well, looks like a Ufotable production so that's good. Also featured: Pig Assault. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KIYYVP1wo

Let's catch up: https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-chapter-142/chapter/17640?action=read Douma is predictably, extremely creepy and the power differential between him and the 3 Demon Moons who went down before seems to be pretty huge. Also, raws + a fan translation of the latest chapter are floating around but I imagine they'll be scanlated soon enough, if Viz doesn't beat them to it on Monday. Like, actual spoilers here: The Insect Pillar dies. I was legit kinda surprised.

Rock has gotten a lot of hype seeing as he was the most trusted pillar and recognized as one of the strongest. So of course his job is to die horribly although I thought the same of Sound Pillar and he made it out with his three wives

I find it suspicious that we didn't see Nezuko once during the training arc, or even right before the pillars entered Hell.

nezuko was entrusted to people who would do absolutely anything to kill muzan. one of them blew up his family to attack muzan! it is unlikely that she was treated well after being separated from tanjirou.

man, this manga is so good. it's so wholesome and the mangaka has such an artstyle for making a cast of lovable dorks in a setting of strife. one of my favorite things is how the villain is portrayed in contrast. there's nothing admirable about him. he's consumed by fear and rules by fear. when he was introduced i did a double take, like "wait... you're introducing the villain now? and he's a such a coward and loser!" it's so empathetic with how anxieties are depicted and overcoming them is often the most important part of a battle,, really feels like it comes from a meaningful place within the author. super excited for the anime: ufotable w/ kajiura and go shiina is such a terrific fit. i like how ufotable has things to bring to the table and also gain here—really want to see the manga's settings and characters handled with the audio/visual tones of stuff like kara no kyoukai, and you can tell from the thick lineart in the char designs that the animators are preparing for the challenge of adapting gotouge's silly faces and the simultaneous comedy and humility in them.

It's a great series. I love Muzan as a villain because he's realistic but uncomplicated as a person. His paranoia, smugness, and intense flashes of anger all feel really genuine.

Viz has the new chapter It's so funny how the upper moon 6 died that easily. Yes it's because he was newly created. Yes, it's because he and Zenitsu had history, and that clouded his judgement. As well as Zenitsu having arguably the perfect technique and skill to exploit his opponents weaknesses. But his death was so pathetic and the final "you'll die on your own" was perfect. That guy can eat poo poo for all he's done. Now it's time for the grudgematch of the year.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:I feel kinda bad, but i do not remember who that bad guy is. My poor memory strikes again! Upper Moon 3. He popped up right after Tanjirou and co. killed Lower Moon 1 and became the true final boss of the train arc. He fought against the Flame Pillar and mortally wounded him, but the Flame Pillar kept him in place to prevent him from escaping from the sun. Dude still ended up running away and Tanjirou called him a coward for doing so which really pissed him off. Tanjirou hates that dude a lot for killing the Flame Pillar.

The pillars basically seemed to be a bit weaker than a demon moon before figuring out how to become marked. The Fire and Sound Pillar never got the mark thing and pretty handily lost straight up fights with a moon. Post-mark, the moons seem to get dusted.

of course, that doesn't explain why pillars never managed to team up and gank lone upper moons in the long history of demon hunters. it really wouldn't matter if they had, since muzan can replace demons much more quickly than they can replace pillars, but it's still an odd detail.

I've generally assumed that they rarely get to pick their engagements with the upper moons.

The lower moons had changed out more than the upper moons from Muzan's words. Upper Moons were the only ones who hadn't had a change in personnel for a century.

yeah, but the upper moons weren't that much stronger than the current pillars. it isn't an overwhelming, hopeless power difference like it is with muzan. 1v1 the moons win every time (until zenitsu lol), but there's no reason why after several generations pillars never managed to gang up on one of them. it's not really a big deal, just a minor plot hole.

The previous Upper Moon 6 only died because they went up against the MC who was using an ancient breathing technique. His demon sister who has the fastest healing rate second only to Muzan himself and magic blood art techniques. A Pillar who was flanked by his retinue of cute shinobi wives as well as the main character's two closest allies. All while putting everyone involved in the hospital and having the sound pillar retire since he lost an eye and limb. Without Nezuko, everyone who was stabbed died to the poison even if they got the win, and without her Tanjirou didn't survive long enough for Sound Pillar to show up. And if Tanjirou doesn't live, Sound Ninja's wives don't get saved on the rooftop meaning one less ally in an already crumbling defense. Quite frankly, Nezuko is the reason they won that fight. The marks have since made defeating an upper moon far easier to the point where twice now an UM has been soloed by a demon hunter. But the impression from the train fight was simply that even one of the best of the pillars could only manage to try and hold an UM until the sun came up because of the difference in power. As for why the pillars have never ganged up on an upper moon? We don't know that they didn't at any point, and as Snapple pointed out it's not like you get to pick and choose when you fight an upper moon. Upper Moon 3 just showed up at the train without warning and the former upper moon 6 was in hiding while conducting their attack on the red light district. One of the upper moons is a prominent figure for a religion so arguably nobody knows his true identity at all even after killing the former flower pillar. These guys simply put aren't making it easy to find them.

The Upper Moons were also matched up against opponents who had some way of dealing with their tricks. Gyuutaro would have been more effective against pretty much any other Pillar; Tengen could resist poison due to his ninja training but it's unlikely that other Pillars would have been able to last as long. And even then Tengen and co. would have died if Gyuutaro had fought from the start, according to Muzen. Gyokko's final form lets him turn whatever he hits into fish, one hit of that and you're a goner. You probably can't even block his hits with a sword cause then your sword is a fish and you have nothing to kill him with. However he had the misfortune of going against Muuichiro, a super genius whose breath incorporates evasive techniques and just so happens to possess a max speed that's even faster than that of Gyokko's. Even personality-wise, Muuichiro just wasn't a good opponent for Gyokko cause he had a way of pissing off Gyokko so much that he lost his cool. Hantengu's gimmick makes him really hard to kill; unless you have some super sense like Tanjirou or Zenitsu you're gonna have a hard time finding his main body, and if you can't do that you're dead.

the upper moons dying a lot now is a necessity of the story since the plot has reached a point where it can't advance without them dying. I think the series has still managed to make them feel like a legitimate threat to the protags for the most part tho

I haven’t started this yet, but I looked ahead a little and saw something that piqued my interest but I looked and can’t really find a decent synopsis online, so: I see the main character learns some fire-based moves from his dad, but isn’t his dad dead? Did he learn before his dad died, did his dad not really die, or did ghost-dad teach him?

His dad was a charcoal burner and taught him how to, like, breathe properly while handling fire or something I might be wrong, it's been a hundred chapters

IIRC it was a ceremonial dance his Dad performed at some point. Don't worry about how Tanjirou somehow got a complete fighting style from just that.

I'm rereading the series and man, poor Uzui. Dude has to train all his life as a ninja since childhood, and he still considers himself one of the weaker Pillars. Meanwhile, his fellow pillars include... 1. Muuichiro, a prodigy who killed a demon without any training when he was a kid and became a Pillar within two months of picking up the blade 2. Kanroji, who was born with insane muscles and became a Pillar within 2 years (had no training until she was 17, and she's 19 now) 3. Sanemi, who also killed his demonified mother by himself without any particular training 4. Himejima, who killed a demon with his bare fists (Muuichiro and Sanemi used weapons and were physically fit because of their jobs, whereas Himejima was a monk) and became a Pillar within 1 year (met Ubuyashiki when he was 18 and became a Pillar at 19), and is now the strongest Pillar 5. Rengoku, who was born strong and taught himself how to use the Flame Breath on account of his dad falling into depression, and was considered one of the stronger Pillars, and nearly killed the 3rd Pillar even without developing marks Small wonder he says this.

Just started reading the latest free chapters up on the Viz app but I like this manga’s style. I don’t understand any of the backstory but the current fight is quite interesting.
