I gotta add, I'm into number 4's gimmick.

From how he looked in the op and his general attitude I was expecting a whole bunch of lame cringing and hiding and sending rock monsters out, him splitting into ever increasing numbers of actually badass demons is way more compelling.

Nezuko kicking a demon's head off is a vital part of any Demon Slayer arc.

They're sucky in that they're boring and have about as much development/character as a monster of the week demon from the first season, I'm sure they're very strong.

Akaza's punchman psychosis and the personal relationship he developed with Rengoku through fighting him, and Daki getting several episodes showing her as a (terrible) person and hyping her up made the two of them way more cool than these two have been.

I really hope one of those upper moons that are immune to swords gets dealt with the same way Muichiro dealt with his first demon.

Eh this didn't really land.

There's a time for "Person realises something about themself and gets a huge powerup" but it's usually with a character we're invested in.

Mist boy here has shown up for all of like three seconds and the fight, such as it is, is him being stuck in a bubble for about three episodes and then just bodying the upper rank with little to no flare or back and forth.

If this was Inosuke I'd be going loving wild but honestly it just makes Tengen look like a loser in retrospect for having that much trouble with the sixth rank.

I actually liked the episode and Muichirou, but the bolded part is so loving true.

Seeing our boys in the after-credits scene looking sad and wondering when their turn would be really hit hard.

It's fine for a baddie to get mega-owned because they fought someone at the worst possible time they could have. It's fine to have occasional differentiation in fight flow.

I kind of agree with this. We've seen Tanjiro get that mega powerup and nearly pull out wins before, so seeing someone more skilled than Tanjiro get the same powerup and go ham on a big bad kind of works for showing what Tanjiro's building towards.
