So after reading Neverland, which rules, I decided to give this a go, both of them because I just kind of wanted to read what the two ladies WSJ actually deigned to let in the clubhouse had. It's... been kind of boring so far. However, I've just added Zimetsu and Inosuke to the team, and in addition to being maniacs themselves they seem to be making Tanjirou more of a weirdo, so things are looking up.

Kind of surprised we got such a... straightforward explanation of Muzan's deal

I think it would be most interesting if Muzan totally eats it here but biwa and the Upper Moons manage to hold on without him.

New chapter.

Well that finally clarifies who precisely #1 is. NOT the Sun guy, but his brother.

Mist Boy has previously been established to be a Sun Breath descendant. Moon Breath is probably just a Demon only variant.

He says that brother demon slayers brings back old memories and he's from the Sun Breath family, you do the math.

New chapter, more fighting.


What designs do y'all like the most? I think my top 3 may be, fittingly enough, Akaza, Douma, and Kokushibou.

I quite like the patterened textile cloaks of the demon slayers.
And also the way that they arent done in the cartoon-style screen door way.

(I.e clothing that is somehow a portal to the pattern dimension

I too hate Gankutsuou.

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

And that's why Douma's the best

I do EMPATHIZE with Kokushibou, if not sympathize. He's pretty much the pinnacle of Muzan's ability to bring out and amplify the very worst in others.

I was thinking that Sanemi would sacrifice himself and give his blood to Genya and that it would somehow heal Genya cause they're family + Sanemi has special blood.

I'm just really surprised because usually in this sorta stuff it's always the elder sibling / parental figure / mentor who sacrifices themselves to save the younger generation, but Kimetsu doesn't really have that.

My hot take on the imperial flag aspect: I don't think Gotogue is a nationalist but also the rayless version on Chinese and Korean tv is such a small change that makes a lot of people feel better so why not (fanart removes them a lot too)

Describing this as a bleachesque trainwreck is insane. It's definitely kind of a rushed ending but before anything else do recall that this thing is probably going to wrap this year, making a solid 4 year run.

Bleach ran for loving FIFTEEN, and was worse for longer than KnY's entire runtime.

Personally I would put my cut off at Kokushibou. Zenitsu Alter was a bit anemic but really no worse than Hantengu and uh, other guy in Smith village, and Douma absolutely ruled, but Kokushibou was kind of a letdown and where you really started to feel the wrap up rush.

As for the Muzan fight, it's atrocious. It IS super cool that literally every character is pouring out of the woodworks to just dump whatever they've got on him, that part I like. BUT it's just way too long and characters are getting their last minute back stories shoved in before they are killed, and it's right after Kokushibou which was a similar Everybody Pile On deal, and you've got sudden power-ups both from him and the crew, AND It's capping off an arc that has already gone on longer than any of the others that is just nonstop fights with no breather, AND OF COURSE we get that last second demon Tanjirou/human Nezuko business that feels like it was supposed to be an entire arc or even outright act 2 of a longer series.


It drags a series that I was really digging down from like an 8 to a 5, it SUCKS.

Douma and Kokushibou could probably take the queen. Maybe Akaza in a pinch.
