Lt. Lizard posted:The thing I am interested in is: we know Muzan can "create" demons and if I understood it correctly, every demon he "creates" can create other demons as well. And we just saw that the transformation from human to demon is almost instantaneous. Will we get the recreation of various "one infected in panicked crowd of soon to be zombies/demons" scenes from zombie movies in the next episode? Urokodaki says right after the break in Ep6 that "The type of demon with the blood that can turn humans into demons... there's only one in this world." Every demon he creates cannot create other demons, so you don't have to worry about it turning into a zombie outbreak.

So that means Muzan is def the one who killed Tanjirous family, meaning that someone there injured Muzan enough for his blood to be drawn to get into Nezukos wounds? Or am i not supposed to think this hard?

That demonization was instant, while Nezuko was found lying on the ground, her final act being protecting her younger sibling. Like he's literally an evil demon lord so maybe trying to puzzle out his rationale for demonizing people is dumb but the situp still isnt quuuuuite clicking for me Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 07:41 on May 21, 2019 |

I'm hoping it turns out he had a good reason for lurking around in the forest and murdering Tanjirou's family. I get the feeling he does, he doesn't seem to be the sort to just randomly murder everyone because whatever.

You know what else was weird was that while there was a ton of blood, nobody in Tanjiros family appeared to have been eaten if I recall correctly? At the time I assumed they were just avoiding going overboard with gore but now I wonder if it was intentional.

Expect My Mom posted:Like he's literally an evil demon lord so maybe trying to puzzle out his rationale for demonizing people is dumb... I don't believe this for a second. Even the most warped and inhuman demons we've met so far still have vestiges of humanity and human motivations, it's just buried under their hunger for human flesh and the lengths they'll go to rationalize that hunger to themselves. I am absolutely certain there's more to Muzan than just arbitrary evil. My current best guess is that he's envious of humanity, just based on who his victims and creations have been (I'm including Tanjiro's family in this, because that's the simplest reading of what the show has presented) but I'm sure it'll be easier to get a sense of it once he gets a bit more screen time.

The last demon we saw said that he ate young girls because if they got older, they smelled bad. Just ... FYI.

It's certainly a very human motivation

Turning someone trying to protect her family into a cannibal suggests a very specific and very vicious kind of sadism.

It's an excuse for eating them; why would a demon think it needs to be excused? Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 14:16 on May 22, 2019 |

Many of the stronger demons are as mentioned, brutal caricatures of the people they used to be. Basically whatever drove them in life gets twisted into what drives them as demons- for good or ill as it was. Some were monsters before they became demons, some are horrific, tragic victims of circumstance. Their forms and powers tend to reflect their personalities.

Muzan is a really good villain. Also we're finally starting to break into proper demon mooks instead of the wimpier feral demons. The production continues to be fantastic. Godwilling it lasts while Ufotable is uh, being investigated for tax evasion

Well, thanks to this episode making such a big note of them I finally noticed what I assume is the kids dad wearing Tanjiro's earrings in the ED, so that sure dropped a whole mess of puzzle pieces regarding the reason for things in my lap.

Holy poo poo that was some body horror this episode. Not just what Muzan did to those mooks. But Tamayo's illusion magic as well. Just something about ripping the flesh of your arms with your fingers eeewww!

'To cure your sister you literally need to take down all or most of the main bad guy's top lieutenants' doesn't exactly sound like a short-term objective that's extraneous to the plot. I'd assume they're going to have to stay around given how long assembling the ingredients is going to take and how essential they are to it.
