I'm going to be completely honest, I wish Tanjiro announced that it was Muzan before Gyomei. That would have made so much more sense and would have been infinitely more badass!
@@lopesfig4842 i meant muzan coming.... ubuyashiki talked to gyomie that muzan will 5 days from now, that why i said "the first to come, the first to say it"
100% agree Tanjiro should've been the initial announcement since he has already met Muzan and all of the Hashira were aware of that, in turn would've taken him at his word instantly
makes sense that they would doubt gyomei as they didnt know ab kagaya's play plus hes fuckin blind, however wouldnt of made too much sense for gyomei to know its him and not say it right away since he was fighting him first
I 100% agree with you but it kind of makes sense that gyomei said it first, since kagaya would've probably told him to tell the hashira who he was when the hashira arrived.
I honestly liked the way they had actually done it. Like Gyomei was literally waiting him like a few days. The others including Tanjiro were still in shock and surprise on what happened that I don't think even he can react quickly to that. You can see the expressions in each person's face to realise that they were in shock and disbelief that Kagaya died first of all. All of them except Himejima needed to process all that at that time. So it actually makes sense that Gyomei said it first.
I agree. And to add to that, it utilizes breaking Gyomei's usually collected and reserved nature to intensify the situation. Which I think the effect is lessened had Tanjiro screamed first.
I do like the original. Gyomei is the first on the scene so he quickly explains the best way he can. Gyomei announces the demon that attacked is Muzan with the relevant information that his head isn't a weak point. This instantly causes confusion among the hashira as they try comprehend this impossible scenario. Then Tanjiro pulls out his sword yelling Muzan jolting everyone into action. It flows a bit nicer in my opinion.
This is the best explanation and take of this tbh, I believe they were ready to fight, but Tanjiro definitely woke them up because they were still shocked while Tanjiro was ready to fight Muzan. As soon as they heard him and saw him pull his sword out, they reacted instantly.
I could tell Muzan was more cautious about Tanjiro rather than the Hashira. Probably because Tanjiro was the only Sun Breather. Just look at how he looked at him after he noticed Tanjiro.
@@carlleecustodio3277na it’s straight on sight beef between muzan and Tanjiro.. Muzan tried killing all the sun breathers and he gets traumatized every time he sees the potara earrings or any form of sun breathing style… he knows that Tanjiro Carries the strongest breathing style. Hence why he keeps calling Tanjiro by full name lol
In my opinion the scene is perfect as it is, Tanjiro know who it is but he's still shocked, he wasn't expecting to see Muzan suddenly. Gyomei, being the one already in the fight warns everyone about who that is, after that they say their lines (which in reality happens in their head and at the same time) and together with that Tanjiro regains his composure and attacks. If Tanjiro did it first they would then think and immediately attack, adding Gyomei talking after that would make no sense, they wouldn't waste so much time. Tanjiro would not state the fact that cutting his head won't kill him, they may all know but it's important to reasure everyone actually knows, which is what Gyomei does. This scene being this way also shows how not everything needs to revolve around the main character. Gyomei, alongside with the other hashiras, is one of the most important characters and will take a big part in the fight to come, therefore he deserves to be the one ahead to announce everything, he's stronger and has a faster reaction time than Tanjiro, specially cause he's already fighting. If you think about this scene in real time, when they first get there Gyomei will announce immediately who they're dealing with and because of that they will get out of the shock of not understanding the situation and will immediately attack. Putting focus on Tanjiro would basically show he's immune to the shock of seeing Muzan so suddenly. The moment where he looks at Muzan and reacts shows how he's not. That's why I consider the scene to be perfect as it is, if you read all that thanks I guess, and feel free to say something, this is an interesting thing to debate about.
Amazingly said. I honestly feel the same way. I see the vision from the uploader but not a fan tbh. I just think the anime did it as perfect as can be.
Yes! As a storyboard maker, the official one is good, but this one is perfect, even though both actually make sense. It's just a matter of executions haha.
I think tanjiro saying muzan and drawing his sword, to hashira reaction, to gyomei saying 'even if you cut off his head he wont die', to all of them going on the attack is the best ordering. Dropping the gyomei lines of 'its muzan' 'its muzan kitbutsuji' from the whole sequence makes it flow much better and gives tanjiro the spotlight on the reveal.
definitely, it shows gyomei's leadership and their trust on him. It felt like Gyomei announces the final war's declaration. BUT in the same time if Tanjiro were to shout first, it gives the benefit to us viewers since we've been with Tanjiro since day 1 thus it will enhances our emotions wether it is sadness, epicness, or excitements. Showing that the end game is here.
When Muzan and Tanjiro locked eyes, Muzan should’ve said Tanjiro’s name, and then thats when Tanjiro shouts Muzan’s name in return. That way they are the first to acknowledge each other in front of all the hashira
It does make sense that the rock dude said it first because sick guy told him that Muzan is going to attack in the next five days so be ready, that’s why he got there first
I think the proper way is to cut out the hashira reactions and have Tanjiro accounce muzan and they go straight into their attacks after. They should already be 100% pissed that the masters dead and ready to go for the kill without explaination imo
Really like how for 10:32 he made shinobu say kibutsuji and then tanjiro runs in saying muzan. its like theyre saying the whole name together which adds more of a realistic effect or an intense feeling to it.
Tbh, if it were me i would let scene stay the same but with a little extra scene in between after Muzan notices Tanjiro and before Gyomei's yelling. Like a subtle mouthing of Tanjiro telling Giyuu while still locking eye contact with Muzan. It would go like this. * After the eye contact * Tanjiro: "it's him..." Giyuu: "What?" Tanjiro: "Giyuu-san, that's him..." *his hand slowly approaches his katana's hilt* Giyuu: * *Sudden realization of what he's talking about but it's sounds so unreal to him he wanted him to specify to make sure* * *"Are... you saying that's-"* Gyomei: *"MUZAN CHO!!!"*
Gyomei was expecting muzan because the master told him. So as a leader of hashira he announced muzan so all of them are prepared to fight and get the context as fast as possible, gyomei strategized this. While tanjiro got there later with other hashiras, confused what happened and trying to understand the situation . Totally logical and good writing for it to be gyomei. I dont like if they trade logical writing with just mindless hype, because that'll get you movies like fast and furious
I think there's something so badass about Tanjiro being the first to speak and draw his sword. Like, Gyomei is already waiting for the othe hashira to appear, and yet, it is Tanjiro who instantly screams Muzan
I do think it makes sense that Gyomei announces it first by some points: 1. Tanjiro was not expecting a direct attack from Muzan unlike Kobayashi who revealed this information to Gyomei; 2. Gyomei was there before Tanjiro, the only way for Tanjiro to know Muzan was there was by smell, but since an explosion happened, all he could smell was flesh, blood and explosive as stated by him prior to his arrival; 3. Gyomei landed a fatal blow for most demons and the demon there regenerated his head thus further confirming it was indeed Muzan; 4. Gyomei is the strongest, oldest and most experienced hashira there, his words carry weight among them, he needed to be the first stating it was Muzan in order to conseal any doubts among them.
I didnt think i needed this video to be a thing, crazy how when the ep first aired I was a lil disappointed that tanjiro wasnt the one to say Its muzan glad to know im not the only one.
this is also what im expecting! hahah! all hashiras would be looking to tanjiro hearing him shouting muzan!... and all the realization should be in one frame like a collage or a mosaic. then gyomei will just shout the weakness of muzan..
that makes sense if tanjiro say it first, but honestly, when gyomei shout out that it was muzan, it gave me goosebumps... the same feeling as Tengen shouting to Tanjiro to keep going and jump, back in season 2 vs gyutaro (the last episode). well, iykyk. But Thanks for making the options. It's cool tho.
The last one for sure was way better than the unedited original. Amazing for someone to be able to come up with different view points and be able to showcase them in a way like this.
To be honest, the first time i watched it, i thought that tanjiro would be the first one to shout muzan's name but was surprised when gyomei went first. So thanks for doing this edit because it does sound more impactful and shows more continuity of the story if tanjiro was the first to shout muzan's name, especially after their eye contact
the way ufotable did it is already epic and it gave me excitement but with a slight change like this, it made me have goosebumps, it deliver the feelings even stronger. BUT Tanjiro got the spotlight in the end because Muzan had his focus on Tanjiro most of the time even stated Tanjiro's full name in the end.
TBH I would love it more If Tanjiro yelled Muzan first but they fixed this "issue" by putting a flashback scene were Ubuyashiki told Gyomei all his plans and said that Muzan will be in the mansion exactly in 5 days. Ubuyashikis are known for their extraordinary intuition, it's like they have a skill to see the future thus making sense that Gyomei yelled it first because he was entrusted by the master to lead before the Pillars.
I really liked the different editing of this scene, through small changes the viewing experience is renewed and refreshing to watch, as for me after watching this scene many times I feel like the original is still pretty nice, it was Gyomei who connected his attack to Muzan first after Tamayo, i would feel like Tanjirou would « steal » Gyomei’s moment if he abruptly yelled Muzan just after reaching the temple, I really liked the way the scene goes with Gyomei screaming Muzan first, but all the other Hashiras are all stunned of encountering Muzan without saying a word, and it’s only when Tanjirou yelled Muzan second for confirmation that all the Hashiras started to move, I still think Tanjirou second yell is damn badass, because he’s still the one who ‘made’ the hashiras move
It's really well made. I think it would be best if Tanjiro yelled muzan first after that they all react and right after gyomei starts speaking but doesn't scream muzan, instead he just explains that if they cut off his head he won't die.
The fact is that hashiras wouldn’t believe tanjiro that that man is Muzan and they would ask for confirmation, like “tanjiro, are u sure that man is muzan? Or something like that, for the simply reason they don’t see tanjiro as an equal, in fact, the stronger hashira announces that that person right there is muzan, they do not need any more confirmation than that. Remember that at that point Ubuyashiki is dead, and all of them know it. So in a quick response to that they see Gyomei (the strongest demon slayer) as the new leader because they didn’t know about Kiriya’s existence yet.
W opinion ngl but ubuyashiki did state that tanjiro met muzan face to face and he did see what he looked like so I think they would believe him at a matter like this
@@cinnamonmonkey9381 yes, but even at that point they still seeing tanjiro as an other casual demos slayer to protect, none of them really know that tanjiro is at the same level of them. Remember that at the beginning of the akaza fight in infinite castle, tomioka was fighting in order to protect tanjiro because he believed that he wasn’t able to protect himself, it is when tanjiro dodges and slashes akaza that tomioka sees he is at a hashira level, and the other hashira realize that when they fight muzan till dawn. They did not respect tanjiro at all, so they wouldn’t listen to him so easily as they did with Gyomei.
@@peramoreno9060 o alr but I wouldn’t say that the hashira it’s didn’t respect him they just never know how much power he has,tbh once they heard that he was one of the people who defeated UPM6 and UPM4 they should have at least known he could keep up with them and in hashira training arc that he was always the #1 Student
@@cinnamonmonkey9381 that is the fact, they never knew he defeated upper 6 an 4, actually he did not defeated at all, tanjiro couldn’t keep the pace with shoakuten he was barely able to fight against the weaker clones, and so it happened with gyutaro, he only hits the final blew but only because tenge was suppressing gyutaro.
@@peramoreno9060 Alr gyutaro that is valid he could barely even beat daki with Zenitsu and inosuke. But with the hantengu clones I would say he did fight logically and well against them except the hatred clones which he did almost die to and he was able to keep up with the clones especially with the fighting doll/dummy yoriichi type 0
It would be super cool seeing the Hashira's reaction to Tanjiro announcing Muzan rather than Gyomei. The Hashira have always been the mentors to Tanjiro, but Muzan's identity is the one thing that Tanjiro knows more than the Hashira.
This is a nice concept but honestly i prefer how the anime did it. Gyomei knows the situation so he'll know what to tell everyone when they get there. From there it follows with everyone being shocked along with tanjiro, gyomei explaining, tanjiro yelling muzan's name, and then all of them charging. Idk I love how it flows together and it makes the most sense for the situation. Also it does gives someone else besides tanjiro a chance to take charge. I will say, you probably could've taken gyomei's lines out since it feels awkward from where you placed it.
I think it couldve started with tanjiro arriving and looking at muzan, then have gyomei saying the hashira have united, then go back to tanjiro shouting muzan, everyone reacts, then gyomei lastly says his full name and he wont die that way theres more build up after tanjiro has seen him to shouting his name, and it still sticks with tanjiro first announcing it
I think it would be good if tanjiro announced it first and gyomei just said "He won't die even if you cut off his head", therefore confirming Tanjiro and giving them the info without talking too much. The original also makes sense too ig because they were all in shock and only Gyomei knew Muzan was gonna attack also it shows his authority.
I think the best you can edit it to be, given the circumstances, is tanjiro announces first that's it's muzan, they all realize it, and right before they all charge in Gyomei only says this portion of his line, " even if you behead him he won't die". Immediately following Gyomei's line they all charge in with their breathing attacks. another alternative would be Gyomei's beheading line is thrown in while they are already charging.
9:00 has the best flow out of all of these. the way tanjiro completed muzan's name. the hashiras are highlighted by not making tanjiro shout first but giving him substantial impact still. the orig just doesn't give much impact to tanjiro.
im ngl i like both, but personally im perfectly fine with how it happened.. its more realistic.. (when i mean both i mean the of and the version he in the video liked the best, which i agree was the best aswell)
I understand the video essay above , my hypotesis is: Japan culture, the put important stuff in end, like when writing the most important writer put in bottom. So tanjiro say "muzan" in later solidify his role as MC.
The Hashira all respect and trust Gyomei with their life, so for him to give the info first as their leader makes more sense for them to attack without doubt. I agree that Tanjiro first is cool and all, but he's not yet acknowledged across all Hashira.
gyomei took the spotlight and i wanted tanjiro to say muzan first because he was the first to see him in the demon slayer season 1 then gyomei says it and explains he cant die being beheaded
I don’t get the discourse around this scene. Gyomei yelling “Muzan” first doesn’t take away from Tanjiro’s scream. Their screams are for completely different reasons. Gyomei is alerting all the Hashira that the demon in front of them is indeed Kibutsuji as he knew ahead of time because of the Kagaya prediction, and that he can’t die if he loses his head. Whereas Tanjiro’s scream is a moment of rage and resentment
Well, i think it could be the same till muzan sees tanjiro and then: tanjiro scream, than sanemi quest himself, then himejima doesn’t scream the first line, only the second that explains that muzan doesnt die, then continue the sequence after sanemi and cuts tanjiro line skipping to tokito starting the atack
The only thing about why the original does work better compared to how we would like for it to 'anime stylistic wise' look, is due to the set up it sets for the last season and movies. I don't think all hashira are aware of Tanjiro's Sun breathing at this point of time. I don't know if it is spoken in the manga between Hashira about Tanjiro at any point, but in the anime maybe there was the one instance of Upermoon 5 and 4 fight that Mitsori saw Tanjiro use the Sun breathing moves, only one that does know is Uzui but he knows it to a fire element breathing so he could easily chalk it up to learning it from Rengoku. However all these Hashira present as Hashira don't know specifically about it. Giyu did get informed Tanjiro is using another breathing. But I Sanami, Snake Guy, Tokito, Gyomei don't all know of his 2nd breathing style or let alone it's importance. The build up is a much longer run one in the making for when all is revealed and a massive fight happens
In the episode where the team finds and begins attacking Muzan, Tanjiro should have been the one to identify Muzan thematically and story-wise. However, another storyline unfolds simultaneously. Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, has the ability to see glimpses of the future with reliable accuracy. He had a vision of Muzan's arrival. They devised a strategy: sent three of his children away, rigged the building with explosives, invited Tamayo to set her own trap, briefed Gyomei to support Tamayo in closing the trap, and stationed the rest of the Hashira nearby for the final battle. The ground Muzan stood on was a multi-stage kill zone. Tanjiro screaming Muzan's name to confirm the demon's identity might not be the best storytelling-wise, but it works for me. Another reason why I believe this is a better sequence of events is that it further establishes the recurring theme in Japanese stories: victory isn't dependent solely on the main character's effort, ability, or luck. It’s every character making a contribution, some big, some small, but ultimately adding to the defeat of the big bad or the survival of the great disaster. This also happens at different levels. The arrogance of the other Upper Moon demons, as well as poor decisions and mistakes by the bad guys early in the story, add up too. Despite being overpowered, good strategy, good teamwork, good luck, and the individual sacrifices of the Demon Slayer Corps made the defeat of the Demon Lord possible.
This comment section is so wild…wdym you guys think Tanjiro saying it 1st would’ve been better? Subjective matter aside it absolutely makes perfect sense to leave the mc for last bc that’s immediately who we’re following up with like do you people not understand story writing? I get that it’s not blatantly obvious why, but like holy bad take to think Tanjiro should’ve announced it just bc he “knows what Muzan looks like”
I gotta be honest, both versions work! HOWEVER, Tanjiro screaming Muzan's name first, was more impactful! Aside from him being the main character, he was the first one to see Muzan. Before the Hashira's, and even the Master. It would make more sense for him to scream out Muzan's name. If it ever came to changing a scene while adapting a Manga, THIS would be one of them. That just goes to show how faithful Ufotable are with the source material. I'll give them that. But again, Gyomei screaming Muzan's name is still cool. But Tanjiro doing it first is more badass!
i think it would have been best if tanjiro announced it was Muzan and all gyomei would say is "even if you cut off his head he wont die" keeps it short and keeps him from repeating what tanjiro would have said
if tanjiro was first then everyone would jump thats the only sequence that would make sense.the reason it was done the way it was done was to give way to the reactions of the characters while tanjiro made the confirmation then everybody jump.besides gyomei saying it first makes sense since this is done seconds after they arrived he is the only one that has his mind battle ready while others are still questioning what is happening
I'm going to be completely honest, I wish Tanjiro announced that it was Muzan before Gyomei. That would have made so much more sense and would have been infinitely more badass!

that makes sense if tanjiro say it first, but honestly, when gyomei shout out that it was muzan, it gave me goosebumps... the same feeling as Tengen shouting to Tanjiro to keep going and jump, back in season 2 vs gyutaro (the last episode). well, iykyk. But Thanks for making the options. It's cool tho.
The last one for sure was way better than the unedited original. Amazing for someone to be able to come up with different view points and be able to showcase them in a way like this.
6:17 best
Very interesting!! I also got this vague feeling for the end, that order could have been a bit different and it's interesting to see you explore that!
i was so bummed that tanjiro didn't yell his name first.
Thank you for giving me that closure.
Tanjiro saying it first makes it INFINITELY better
I really did expect him to shout first
And it would be a lot more amazing 😮💨
First one was the best one 4:53
Muzan also knows Tanjiro is the only true problem since he is the only one Muzan looked at or spoke directly to.
this it THE ONLY way it should've been done, it's literally so perfect
To be honest, the first time i watched it, i thought that tanjiro would be the first one to shout muzan's name but was surprised when gyomei went first. So thanks for doing this edit because it does sound more impactful and shows more continuity of the story if tanjiro was the first to shout muzan's name, especially after their eye contact
the way ufotable did it is already epic and it gave me excitement but with a slight change like this, it made me have goosebumps, it deliver the feelings even stronger. BUT
Tanjiro got the spotlight in the end because Muzan had his focus on Tanjiro most of the time even stated Tanjiro's full name in the end.
TBH I would love it more If Tanjiro yelled Muzan first but they fixed this "issue" by putting a flashback scene were Ubuyashiki told Gyomei all his plans and said that Muzan will be in the mansion exactly in 5 days. Ubuyashikis are known for their extraordinary intuition, it's like they have a skill to see the future thus making sense that Gyomei yelled it first because he was entrusted by the master to lead before the Pillars.
I really liked the different editing of this scene, through small changes the viewing experience is renewed and refreshing to watch, as for me after watching this scene many times I feel like the original is still pretty nice, it was Gyomei who connected his attack to Muzan first after Tamayo, i would feel like Tanjirou would « steal » Gyomei’s moment if he abruptly yelled Muzan just after reaching the temple, I really liked the way the scene goes with Gyomei screaming Muzan first, but all the other Hashiras are all stunned of encountering Muzan without saying a word, and it’s only when Tanjirou yelled Muzan second for confirmation that all the Hashiras started to move, I still think Tanjirou second yell is damn badass, because he’s still the one who ‘made’ the hashiras move
I’m so glad we’re on the same page it would’ve been cooler if tanjiro said it first
It's really well made. I think it would be best if Tanjiro yelled muzan first after that they all react and right after gyomei starts speaking but doesn't scream muzan, instead he just explains that if they cut off his head he won't die.
love all the directions you went. truly a great video and your story telling skills as an editor. great stuff
bro i got chills when tanjiro anounces its muzan
The fact is that hashiras wouldn’t believe tanjiro that that man is Muzan and they would ask for confirmation, like “tanjiro, are u sure that man is muzan? Or something like that, for the simply reason they don’t see tanjiro as an equal, in fact, the stronger hashira announces that that person right there is muzan, they do not need any more confirmation than that.
Remember that at that point Ubuyashiki is dead, and all of them know it. So in a quick response to that they see Gyomei (the strongest demon slayer) as the new leader because they didn’t know about Kiriya’s existence yet.
W opinion ngl but ubuyashiki did state that tanjiro met muzan face to face and he did see what he looked like so I think they would believe him at a matter like this
@@cinnamonmonkey9381 yes, but even at that point they still seeing tanjiro as an other casual demos slayer to protect, none of them really know that tanjiro is at the same level of them.
Remember that at the beginning of the akaza fight in infinite castle, tomioka was fighting in order to protect tanjiro because he believed that he wasn’t able to protect himself, it is when tanjiro dodges and slashes akaza that tomioka sees he is at a hashira level, and the other hashira realize that when they fight muzan till dawn.
They did not respect tanjiro at all, so they wouldn’t listen to him so easily as they did with Gyomei.
@@peramoreno9060 o alr but I wouldn’t say that the hashira it’s didn’t respect him they just never know how much power he has,tbh once they heard that he was one of the people who defeated UPM6 and UPM4 they should have at least known he could keep up with them and in hashira training arc that he was always the #1 Student
@@cinnamonmonkey9381 that is the fact, they never knew he defeated upper 6 an 4, actually he did not defeated at all, tanjiro couldn’t keep the pace with shoakuten he was barely able to fight against the weaker clones, and so it happened with gyutaro, he only hits the final blew but only because tenge was suppressing gyutaro.
@@peramoreno9060 Alr gyutaro that is valid he could barely even beat daki with Zenitsu and inosuke. But with the hantengu clones I would say he did fight logically and well against them except the hatred clones which he did almost die to and he was able to keep up with the clones especially with the fighting doll/dummy yoriichi type 0
Yes exactly! Tanjiro announcing it right after seeing Muzan and before Gyomei would've been much more better!
Gyomei's scream was so awesome so i wouldn't mess with it, i like the idea of tanjiro arriving later 👍🏻
Glad to know I wasnt the only one who thought so. It should ve been Tanjiro, since he's the only one who has seen him face to face before.
Loved the video, a great break down of the different ways the scene could have gone down. Can't wait for the movies
I really liked your 4:50 take, was perfect to me.
its better in the origian
gyomei says it, everyone is shocked, but then tanjiro screams "MUZAAAN" and everyone is like "alright so thats him for sure"
It would be super cool seeing the Hashira's reaction to Tanjiro announcing Muzan rather than Gyomei. The Hashira have always been the mentors to Tanjiro, but Muzan's identity is the one thing that Tanjiro knows more than the Hashira.
This is a nice concept but honestly i prefer how the anime did it. Gyomei knows the situation so he'll know what to tell everyone when they get there. From there it follows with everyone being shocked along with tanjiro, gyomei explaining, tanjiro yelling muzan's name, and then all of them charging. Idk I love how it flows together and it makes the most sense for the situation. Also it does gives someone else besides tanjiro a chance to take charge.
I will say, you probably could've taken gyomei's lines out since it feels awkward from where you placed it.
I think it couldve started with tanjiro arriving and looking at muzan, then have gyomei saying the hashira have united, then go back to tanjiro shouting muzan, everyone reacts, then gyomei lastly says his full name and he wont die
that way theres more build up after tanjiro has seen him to shouting his name, and it still sticks with tanjiro first announcing it
Thank god ! I'm not the only one who thought that
i love these arrangements
I think it would be good if tanjiro announced it first and gyomei just said "He won't die even if you cut off his head", therefore confirming Tanjiro and giving them the info without talking too much. The original also makes sense too ig because they were all in shock and only Gyomei knew Muzan was gonna attack also it shows his authority.
Fuk now I prefer this over the og one.
I literally thought about this exact same thing yesterday literally ty for made it came true
I think tanjiro whispering in shock muzan and maybe Giyu hearing it and then Gyomei yelling it would be cool also.
I think the best you can edit it to be, given the circumstances, is tanjiro announces first that's it's muzan, they all realize it, and right before they all charge in Gyomei only says this portion of his line, " even if you behead him he won't die". Immediately following Gyomei's line they all charge in with their breathing attacks. another alternative would be Gyomei's beheading line is thrown in while they are already charging.
That flows better your a genius
9:00 has the best flow out of all of these. the way tanjiro completed muzan's name. the hashiras are highlighted by not making tanjiro shout first but giving him substantial impact still. the orig just doesn't give much impact to tanjiro.
im ngl i like both, but personally im perfectly fine with how it happened.. its more realistic.. (when i mean both i mean the of and the version he in the video liked the best, which i agree was the best aswell)
I understand the video essay above , my hypotesis is:
Japan culture, the put important stuff in end, like when writing the most important writer put in bottom. So tanjiro say "muzan" in later solidify his role as MC.
They animators made the wrong choice having Gyomei announce it first
The Hashira all respect and trust Gyomei with their life, so for him to give the info first as their leader makes more sense for them to attack without doubt. I agree that Tanjiro first is cool and all, but he's not yet acknowledged across all Hashira.
gyomei took the spotlight and i wanted tanjiro to say muzan first because he was the first to see him in the demon slayer season 1 then gyomei says it and explains he cant die being beheaded
I really wanted to see that too lol
Makes more sense, also, great concept
Great Video🙏🏻🔥
I don’t get the discourse around this scene. Gyomei yelling “Muzan” first doesn’t take away from Tanjiro’s scream.
Their screams are for completely different reasons. Gyomei is alerting all the Hashira that the demon in front of them is indeed Kibutsuji as he knew ahead of time because of the Kagaya prediction, and that he can’t die if he loses his head. Whereas Tanjiro’s scream is a moment of rage and resentment
amazing video. thank u for making it! Such a coincidence though, i was thinking "what if tanjiro was the one who shouted MUZAN first"
This is such a good video and producing.
Bro cooked that works brilliantly
Bro this is what we ALL Wanted instead of Gyomei yelling "MUZANDOOOO DJCJMJDTBITSHIM" (good shit tho)
Well, i think it could be the same till muzan sees tanjiro and then: tanjiro scream, than sanemi quest himself, then himejima doesn’t scream the first line, only the second that explains that muzan doesnt die, then continue the sequence after sanemi and cuts tanjiro line skipping to tokito starting the atack
The only thing about why the original does work better compared to how we would like for it to 'anime stylistic wise' look, is due to the set up it sets for the last season and movies.
I don't think all hashira are aware of Tanjiro's Sun breathing at this point of time. I don't know if it is spoken in the manga between Hashira about Tanjiro at any point, but in the anime maybe there was the one instance of Upermoon 5 and 4 fight that Mitsori saw Tanjiro use the Sun breathing moves, only one that does know is Uzui but he knows it to a fire element breathing so he could easily chalk it up to learning it from Rengoku. However all these Hashira present as Hashira don't know specifically about it. Giyu did get informed Tanjiro is using another breathing. But I Sanami, Snake Guy, Tokito, Gyomei don't all know of his 2nd breathing style or let alone it's importance. The build up is a much longer run one in the making for when all is revealed and a massive fight happens
i had the same idea in my head and now i see this on my main yt page, cool sh1t man
Bro i was thinking the same thing like crazy
In the episode where the team finds and begins attacking Muzan, Tanjiro should have been the one to identify Muzan thematically and story-wise. However, another storyline unfolds simultaneously. Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, has the ability to see glimpses of the future with reliable accuracy. He had a vision of Muzan's arrival. They devised a strategy: sent three of his children away, rigged the building with explosives, invited Tamayo to set her own trap, briefed Gyomei to support Tamayo in closing the trap, and stationed the rest of the Hashira nearby for the final battle. The ground Muzan stood on was a multi-stage kill zone.
Tanjiro screaming Muzan's name to confirm the demon's identity might not be the best storytelling-wise, but it works for me. Another reason why I believe this is a better sequence of events is that it further establishes the recurring theme in Japanese stories: victory isn't dependent solely on the main character's effort, ability, or luck. It’s every character making a contribution, some big, some small, but ultimately adding to the defeat of the big bad or the survival of the great disaster. This also happens at different levels. The arrogance of the other Upper Moon demons, as well as poor decisions and mistakes by the bad guys early in the story, add up too. Despite being overpowered, good strategy, good teamwork, good luck, and the individual sacrifices of the Demon Slayer Corps made the defeat of the Demon Lord possible.
This comment section is so wild…wdym you guys think Tanjiro saying it 1st would’ve been better? Subjective matter aside it absolutely makes perfect sense to leave the mc for last bc that’s immediately who we’re following up with like do you people not understand story writing? I get that it’s not blatantly obvious why, but like holy bad take to think Tanjiro should’ve announced it just bc he “knows what Muzan looks like”
Tanjiro yells muzan
The hashira who question if its him show up - sanemi, mitsuri, etc
Gyomei explains
Hashira who confirm show up - obanai and giyu
Yes, thank god I'm not the only one who think that Tanjiro announcing Muzan first, have more impact than Gyomei...
9:26 damn i felt that one
Ahhh I see you where your going😏🔥
oh yeah, its like tanjiro cant control his emotions I love it
I literally thought the same exact thing when I first watched
I gotta be honest, both versions work! HOWEVER, Tanjiro screaming Muzan's name first, was more impactful! Aside from him being the main character, he was the first one to see Muzan. Before the Hashira's, and even the Master. It would make more sense for him to scream out Muzan's name. If it ever came to changing a scene while adapting a Manga, THIS would be one of them. That just goes to show how faithful Ufotable are with the source material. I'll give them that. But again, Gyomei screaming Muzan's name is still cool. But Tanjiro doing it first is more badass!
hi im your 100th sub
underrated! 🙉
really nice work
2:30 I was so into the scene I forgot I was watching this video LOL
i was thinkin about the exact same thing because tanjiro the one who met him first so why they made gyomei call him first😂
i think it would have been best if tanjiro announced it was Muzan and all gyomei would say is "even if you cut off his head he wont die" keeps it short and keeps him from repeating what tanjiro would have said
that was also in my mind that Tanjiro should have shouted the name before gyomei
it was supposed to be Tanjiro because he was the first guy who saw Muzan face to face... but Ubuyashiki maybe told them that Muzan is coming...
Amazing video Good work.🎉
if tanjiro was first then everyone would jump thats the only sequence that would make sense.the reason it was done the way it was done was to give way to the reactions of the characters while tanjiro made the confirmation then everybody jump.besides gyomei saying it first makes sense since this is done seconds after they arrived he is the only one that has his mind battle ready while others are still questioning what is happening
