(insert review here when finished)
*** SPOILERS BELOW ***
- Episode 1 - Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui
- We open up season 3 to exactly where season 2/the movie ended, with the fire mentor guy being dead, and Tanjiro and Boar Head Man crying. A crow goes to notify the family of the deceased.
- After that, we jump to a new setting, a city environment. They are discussing a child who suffers from a skin disease that stops him from going out in the daylight, is this a story about the first demon king? It appears so. The demon from the train comes to visit him. Is this a flashback though, or a current event? He mentioned killing a Hashira, I assume current. How did the first demon lord guy turn into a child? The same way Nezuko does? Does he have mind control capabilities, and that is how he gets these elaborate background stories with families and such?
- Tanjiro ran off to fulfill the duty he was asked by the fire mentor guy to do; the others think that he is off training though. Did Fire Mentor Guy's dad really not recognize the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps? Well, the dad seems to know about the sun breathing at least. But Tanjiro knows nothing about what his power could actually be, just that his family were coal burners and his dad was weak and had a special dance. And then Tanjiro goes and headbutts the dad.
- The younger brother gives Tanjiro a book meant to help explain the sunbreathing; unfortunately, the father has gotten so upset with their culture that he ripped the book to shreds.
- The three of them healed their wounds, continued to train, and went on any missions given with very few complaints. We didn't get to see much of any of them though. We do, however, get to see one of the 12 demon slayer corp leader people trying to kidnap two girls, and our three mains stepping in to save them. I really didn't like how the leader-type guy smacked the one girl's butt, she is like 12, and he has to be like mid to late 30s. Gives major perv vibes.
- Episode 2 - Infiltrating the Entertainment District
- I will now be referring to the guy who tried to kidnap the girls as the jewel head master guy.
- Is told to stay in the carriage, jumps out of the carriage. Can he really expect the three of them to know exactly what he is expecting of them without a better debriefing?
- I love how he doesn't want them to be so flashy and wants them to blend in, but he made them look absolutely ridiculous. Tanjiro sold off fastest, and then the boar head guy caught the attention of somebody else, leaving just blondie to be sold last.
- We figured out where one of the wives is, well, sort of. She supposedly ran away, but more likely, she was captured by the demon or went off to fight it herself. I vote for the first option. And then we get a lead on a second wife's location. She claims to be sick in her bedroom. And then the episode cuts out.
- Episode 3 - What Are You?
- Boar Head Man is a good sleuth; he found the room that belongs to one of the wives and figured out that there was a demon hiding in the ceiling that he then chased around the building, but I would go ahead and say his cover is officially blown. HE EVEN PUNCHED A PATRON IN THE FACE. The yellow kimono guy then happens to stumble upon a demon by accident when he tries to help a little girl in distress. I don't know if his discovery is related to the missing wives or not, but at least he found a demon. There certainly are a lot of them in this city; it's amazing more people aren't missing. Do you think they are all related or just a coincidence? Or is it all the same demon just moving between locations? Are the houses close enough together for that?
- Y'know, they need to get some better detectives or science or something because there's no way those wounds are the same as jumping from the roof, which is like maybe a third of the height as where she actually fell from.
- This episode had after-credit cut scenes. The yellow kimono man got wrapped up in the demon's kimono things.
- Episode 4 - Tonight
- The yellow kimono man has "disappeared"; we obviously know she was wrapped in the kimono tentacles from the cut scene. The other two and the jewel head master meet up on the rooftops to discuss, and the master guy dismisses the other two. It's funny that he thought they would just leave like that though, when one of their friends went missing.
- I love how it's the voice that gave Tanjiro away when in reality, it could have also been how strong and independent, and just otherwise non-feminine he was.
- Why did the little mice minions have jewel headbands like the master?
- So every person this demon devours becomes a photo on the belt? Is there a way to save the people in the belt thing?
- Episode 5 - Things Are Gonna Get Real Flashy!
- So Tanjiro is trying to take on the demon, and he has a lot of self-doubt in himself and is struggling to pull off even one of his moves successfully. Although he doesn't seem to be actually trying his well-known moves, instead, he keeps trying to use the sunbreathing moves and fire moves because he seems to think they are stronger, even though it's more than just the strength of the move; it's also the strength of the warrior. How does having a higher body temperature help you perform more moves in a row?
- If the humans are trapped in the belt, how is the demon actually devouring them? Is the demon the lady or the belt? I don't understand. Also, taking a step back for a second, how did Boar Head Man get into that tiny crawl space? His calling it a worm makes me think of tapeworms, which is definitely legit what it is. So they are both demons then? One is part of the higher-ranking six demons, and the tapeworm one is not even top 12. The wives are assassins and yet can't even protect themselves? What?? Jewel head master has come to take back his wives. No tapeworm belt will stop him.
- Episode 6 - Layered Memories
- At this point, we are halfway through the season, and we are still fighting the same demons, but we should finish them off in an episode or two. What will the rest of the season be like? Also, if all the people were kept in the ribbon but weren't actually devoured, how does the demon actually get the extra strength? I thought you had to kill the human to gain the power from them. Why did her appearance change?
- WE GOT THE REASONING BEHIND HIS SCAR. It was a burn mark originally from saving his little brother, and then it changed due to injury during the final selection. But according to the fire mentor's dad, it's a mark that symbolizes users of the sun breathing technique. AND THEN WE GET A GLIMPSE OF HIS FATHER KILLING DEMONS. He is bleeding out of his everything, but is using the sun breathing skills perfectly? How did he learn them? What caused time to slow for him? Is it the breathing technique? ...why did he see a vision of one of his sisters telling him to breathe? What happened? Was he not breathing this entire time? Couldn't he have finished that slice of her neck first? This is why it's only halfway through the season, isn't it? I mean, unless Nezuko wants to come and decapitate the demon herself lol. Oof, never mind, Nezuko is getting cut into pieces herself. "Barely eaten any humans", little does she realize she hasn't eaten a single one. Double oof. Nezuko is going through a metamorphosis to save her brother.
- Episode 7 - Transformation
- We continue the battle between Nezuko and the pink belt demon; Nezuko is stated to be even more powerful than the pink belt demon, and she can regenerate her limbs in the blink of an eye. Not only that, but when the pink belt demon cuts all her limbs and head off, Nezuko can hold them together with what I can only describe as blood-bending. We then see Nezuko struggle against the urge to drink human blood, which is understandable considering how much demon power she used. Aw man, the pink belt demon isn't dead even though Nezuko burnt her.
- Aww, Nezuko remembered her mom and cried herself to sleep!!
- Theres another demon inside the pink belt demon?!? Her green hair became her brother?
- Why does jewel band master want flashy so bad?
- Episode 8 - Gathering
- The brother has some type of poison that he thinks is affecting the jewel band master. Speaking of, that master slices off the pink belt demon's head for a second time, and then our three main heroes barge in to help him finish severing the brother's head off. The booger bubble on the yellow kimono guy is so funny.
- Episode 9 - Defeating an Upper Rank Demon
- We start out with a flashback to the jewel band master guy at a grave site with his wives. I would love more backstory on why he insists on being so flashy and why he paints his nails. This episode honestly feels mostly like we are just dragging out the beheading, and it's making me bored. The fighting is semi-cool but still boring.
- Boar head guy sawed off pink belt demon girl's head xD
- Uh oh ... the brother jumped up and poisoned the boar head kid, and now they're all gonna die
- Episode 10 - Never Give Up
- This episode is largely just the brother demon bad-mouthing Tanjiro and telling him how horrible he is.
- He's channeling Deku from My Hero Academia with his two broken fingers. Tanjiro starts to see himself in the brother demon and how he could have just as easily ended up a demon with Nezuko himself.
- Episode 11 - No Matter How Many Lives
- Nezuko is awake already?
- Nezuko healed the jewel band master.
- Tanjiro goes off searching for the demon heads to ensure they are dead for sure, and finally manages to collect some demon blood for the demon doctor lady, like he promised. Sometimes, I feel like he forgot about that promise.
- The demon sibling heads are arguing xD
- We get insight into another sad demon origin story and how he was just dealt a really bad hand as a kid with no roof over his head and no food to eat all day, doing everything he could just to take care of his precious sister.
- Jewel headband master guy retires and tells snack master that Tanjiro should become his replacement.
