I'm down with it. 'How in the world did Tokitou pull this off?' Copy that, and everyone who was there knows that when they collide it spreads so yeah, fair enough. We're only gonna have two Hashiras left after this is all said and done anyway.

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.

That's pretty much what they did with the mark power-up, I kinda love how they don't bother coming up with something like Ki or whatever to explain it. Just like the breaths, you're basically just a muscle wizard.

No breaks on the Goutouge train from the looks of it, tho. They're just... VROOM!

I was surprised how much the "goofy mode" faces did for me. I think the first one that really sunk in how doofus it can get was the realization dawning on Tanjirou that early 20th Century Tokyo is bright & loud as gently caress at night.



That moment was also doubly-funny for anyone who lives/has been to the place because you go like "Poor Tanjirou would go probably go mental in 2020 Tokyo" :mmmhmm:

This week: the author didn't expect Tanjirou to wake up so soon, so everyone else suddenly got tired and had to take a break.

Tanjiro's not going to fight him. He'll start using the Breath of Tsugikuni and give Yoriichi a chance to finally right his past mistake in not killing Muzan when he had the chance.

It's an established thing that just watching and being around Tanjirou lets you increase your power level so it's entirely possible everyone (or maybe just the younger generation) will wake up from their naps just in time to help deliver the finishing blow.

I've noticed this be a really big thing with works printed by Shueshia especially in Jump.

Again, this isn't Tanjirou's fight, it's Yoriichi's rematch. Tanjirou's just channeling his spirit and lending him a body to maneuver.

So, (FE4 Spoilers! Don't read if you're planning to play that game)basically a Lewyn/Forseti situation? :ohdear: I already made peace with the fact that Gotouge seems like they're out of fucks to give and going full Araki/Tomino, but please don't kill off my sweet boy Tanjirou.

he's only ever recalled his own ancestor's memories. tanjirou might yank some previously unknown fire dance mastery out of his genetic memory, but if so it won't be from yoriichi. tanjirou and yoriichi aren't related, and ghosts haven't appeared as more than a 'hey i'm dead now and here is my dead family so let's go to the afterlife' thing. dude's completely dead, from old age hundreds of years ago. it's an intrinsic part of being human that separates them from the demons.

Didn't Tanjiro mention somewhere that, despite his family having relatively blue-collar jobs, that the Kamado family's ancestry is well-documented in Japan's census and such?

As busted and poisoned as he is, Tanjirou's still much stronger than he was when him, the squad, Uzui and his wives fought Daki and Gyutaro.

This time, his Unmastered Breath of the Sun Swordsman channelling will be enough to keep Muzan at bay for 7 minutes until Kanao can get the RPG.

the problem is that there aren't really any established rules for most of what's going on anymore so the victory is kinda going to feel like it happened because it's in the script

I'll be happy as long as Nezuko gets to help beat the poo poo out of Muzan when she shows up.

Look, Muzan is going to be beaten by the familial love of a horribly disfigured demonslayer who's basically halfway to demon at this point and his demon sister who's almost halfway back to human at this point.

muzan's goal is nezuko and the pillars can't actually prevent him from leaving. he's sticking around because he wants to stick around. i wouldn't go as far as saying that nezuko running in is part of his plan, but he might be hoping the demon slayers bring her in to use somehow.

also, tanjirou isn't halfway to demonizing. the blood he was infected with was too potent, so he's dying instead.

Please no dont end it that quickly i want more chapters of this its going too fast

(perhaps there is a reason for how fast this is going as a metaphor for how the characters are living short and brutal lives)
