the story has indicated that Muzan is the First Demon and all other demons were effectively created by him

Any continuation after this feels like it'd be kinda forced. There are WAYS to do this with what's in the story so far but I dunno if I'd wanna see this get dragged out. The doctor that caused Muzan to turn into a demon is one thing you could go into- what loving medicine was this guy practicing that he could make an incomplete medicine that turns a man into a nearly godlike monster that can do magic and create other reality-bending demons?

Assumedly he was trying to make a proper elixir of immortality that didn't involve quite so much uh all of that

Patware posted:i love the characters in this manga and i really wish the power-ups didn't almost universally come out of nowhere and that the overall story wasn't crumbling apart at a breakneck pace Fabricated posted:Yeah it all feels bizarrely truncated. If editorial was behind this I bet they feel pretty loving stupid now that every backlog volume of Kimetsu no Yaiba has moved 500k in Japan. Quite a few characters need more background to them, and since the manga's rushing toward the end, they won't get it. We haven't even gotten Iguro's backstory. Tightly paced plots are fine, but Yaiba's tight to the point where elements are missing. Genya and Sanemi need an arc or two that would flesh out their relationship, as do Zenitsu and Kaigetsu. All we really know about Kaigetsu is that he trained with the same master and thought Zenitsu was weak. How did Zenitsu even gain the confidence to fight, much less defeat, Kaigetsu? Zenitsu should've gotten an arc similar to the one between Tanjiro and Akaza. Genya gets far less time in the spotlight than he deserves. He appears for a couple of scenes in the exam arc, helps fight off two of the Upper Moons in the swordsmiths' village, then helps to take down Upper Moon One. The fact that, oh I don't know, he eats demons and uses their power to kill them might be a bit interesting to explore in depth, but he never gets that. Ditto for his relationship with Sanemi. The only glimpse we get of their relationship was that Sanemi thinks Genya is weak for not wielding a sword and that he protected him from their mother. The more I think about Yaiba, the more I realize how weak a lot of the writing is. I still like it, but I'm not going to miss it when it's gone.

It's largely unremarkable writing with some really good character moments, some real visually neat fights, and a very good boy.

KnY has used its downtime pretty well

Zenitsu's adoptive dad/grandpa/teacher killed himself because of Kaigetsu. I don't really need any other explanation for why Zenitsu would need the determination to fight.

This most recent arc took a goddamn year and a half, and all in the same location and presumably everything happening on the same day.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Dont bring up black clover when talking about pacing. and still managed to make it feel like it was careening from event to event, it just had a gigantic stupid pile of events and characters to chew through at least KnY's cast is relatively small even after producing the Pillars and giving a couple of them adjacent characters.

I'm kinda surprised that, aside from One Piece and Hunter x Hunter (which I think has been in its longest hiatus yet?), the oldest thing right now in WSJ is the Volleyboys from Haikyu!!

Zerilan posted:Haikyuu!! owns and more people need to read about the good volleyboys.  I would have the same gripes about KnY, but I think that the anime is tackling the material which I felt was the series at its weakest with a lot of panache, which in turn makes me appreciate the manga all the more when, even with all its flaws, Gotouge decides to loving slam us with either heart-warming, heart-rending or sometimes downright horrifying moments. Fabricated posted:I think if we make it to 2020 without a new HxH chapter it'll be basically a year on the dot? (I miss H x H and I kinda wish Togashi would get an artist to work with or... I dunno, move to a monthly magazine; like I've read that Naoko Takeuchi helps him on occasion with the volume releases)

Link. https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-chapter-175/chapter/19217?action=read Honestly the biggest surprise was that he never met Tanjiro. Honestly I am mainly looking forward to Muzan's reaction that his greatest servant fell before any pillars died to him. (Even if one will pass away after.) As Muzan was asking how many Pillars he killed. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Sep 20, 2019 |

Was Kanao's backstory in the manga? Just watched the latest ep and didnt remember any of that about her, or the appearance of Shinobu's older sister.

Which does not make too much sense, given that Shinobu is only two years older then Kanao.

Today's episode and discussion of it reminded me of how weirdly loving hyped I'm gonna be when the anime makes it to 'cause it's just the perfect loving Muzan page and along with the verbal takedown of him that follows was a great loving leadin to this last arc.

So hypothetically, since the train arc is a movie, would it be season 2 covering the red light district and the swordsmith village, then season 3 to cover everything else (assuming we're in the final arc)?

New chapter is out. I’m guessing the wind pillar will somehow trade his life for his brother’s. Also Tokito is so dead.

Genya's got that demon regeneration, I have high hopes that he'll recover due to his ingestion of the 1st Moon, unless the 1st Moon dying suddenly results in Genya losing all that demon energy.

Didn't he say at one point that he can't regenerate internal organs? Though since he ate such a powerful demon that might change.
