Fun fact: Muzan never really liked Daki and thought she was a stupid child while he considered Gyutaro to be the true Upper 6, but he pretended to like her for Gyutaro's sake and because she made money for him in the entertainment district
@@ezrazentor7725 It was neither. He was very powerful, Muichiro is just FAR more absurd than that. HASHIRA AFTER A FEW MONTHS! MONTHS! Tanjiro spent YEARS just training to get to the STARTING line. Muichiro was so strong he made Gyokko LOOK weak, when he's anything but.
@@dragonova279UM 5 wasnt weak. He almost killed Muichiro and did so with ease. He got overconfident and didn’t expect him to become super powerful with the mark. Muichiro basically blitzed him and caught him off guard. If it wasn’t for the mark amp via tanjiro he would’ve died. Even after he got decapitated he was gonna grow his body back(we saw him do that when muzan decapitated him and even during his fight was saw growths coming out of his neck before Tokyo turned him into shredded cheese). Muichiro just blitzed him so hard it made his fight super pathetic compared to every upper moon fight. Manga readers and anime watchers all can agree he was the most underwhelming upper moon from the battle we saw but he wasn’t weak.
The Upper Moon meeting is one of the most visually interesting and gorgeous scenes in the entire show, and that's saying a lot. It feels disorienting but organized at the same time and manages to convey everything it's trying to, and makes the Upper Moons and Muzan look like the absolute menaces they are.

Douma taking each and every opportunity to troll Akaza is so funny to me. "Oh yeah. I'm letting him hit me. Getting the job first but not getting promoted before me must really suck. I can't believe he's not as strong as me either. My poor friend." Also, you really see the difference between the Upper and Lower Moons in this meeting. When the Lower Moons were summoned, they kept their heads bowed the whole time and were sweating bullets. When the Upper Moons were summoned, even as Muzan was getting angry and talking down to them, they were pretty chill about it.
Kokushibo has a devastating voice and presence, Once you see him and hear him speak you can tell he stands with high power, authority, and aura as a person.
I cannot believe Montana's first experience with the "nosebleed" anime trope was TANJIRO of all people! 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: I also am surprised Zenitsu never had a nosebleed in this show. 😅
@chronics23 I mean, could you blame him? 😏 The fact that Tanjiro's an emotionally intelligent and kind individual doesn't change that he's still a teenage boy. 😅
@@HaydrogenBomb oh no I totally understand Tanjiro's reaction lol but the fact that this is Montana's first time seeing this trope and it being tanjiro is funny to me lol
The nose bleed trope actually happened to me IRL. I used to have a problem with nose bleeds, and they happens for many reasons, for example if blood rushes to my cheeks when blushing. So yeah, it's a trope based on reality.
people need to remember that Muzan is ancient, this set of twelve kizuki has been around for 100 years but that implies there have been other upper ranks before that. We are dealing with timescales much greater than just 1 or 2 generations of like father and son, closer to grandparents and great grandparents and their grandchildren and great grandchildren. If you see something in the past it's just as likely that it takes place hundreds of years ago as it is that it takes place decades ago and you have to use context clues to figure it out.
Thank you! It is so perplexing how in one scene people are told that the upper ranks are 100+ years old and then directly goes on to assuming that Tanjiro's dad fought Muzan hundreds of years ago.
Really glad you're watching this series back to back because to many reactors have forgotten how Upper 1 being Tanjiro's dad wouldn't make any sense 😅. This feels like an episode of Steven Universe with all the mistaken identities lmao
@@relic5752 Well that's good =p I know there were a lot of haters in reactor video comments when this episode dropped as a lot of reactors wondered if it could be Tanjiros Dad, myself included - because of not watching episodes back to back and forgetting important lore
At this point Tanjiro is 15 and the Hashira is 19. She was also Rengoku’s tsugoku and developed Love breathing from being inspired by his flame breathing!! Interesting fact she is the only person who has ever made it through all of his training and just barely!
Tanjiro was 15 at the start, but there was at least a year time skip before final selection, plus months of training and recovery after that, so I believe he is 16 or 17 by now.
How's Tanjiro 15 if only the first season was two years long? I've seen people saying he was 13 at the very start. I don't think he was younger than that, and he's had long recovery times, so there's no way he's 15
Okay, this is the episode that confused everyone especially regarding those who LOOK like Tanjiro. This is no longer a spoiler, but these 6 characters are NOT the same people. You have.... Tanjiro Kamado (our mc; originally a charcoal burner, now a demon slayer) Tanjuro Kamado (our mc's father who we know died from a sickness; charcoal burner) Upper Moon 1 (unknown demon who wields a sword AND has a flame-like scar similar to Tanjuro; has been a demon for at least 100 years as we know no new upper moons have been introduced for that long) Sumiyoshi (seen in the flashback with his wife and child and is a charcoal burner) Unknown swordsman (seen in the flashback alongside Sumiyoshi who has a flame-like scar) + Sumiyoshi's son ^All separate people
If the Three Demon Slaying Amigos really WERE trying to shield Nezuko from the morning sun, then that it PRECIOUS! 🥰 I accept it as canon. Edit: Also, Nezuko wearing a blanket to get around during the day is a hilarious concept. 😅
I don’t know if you guys do comments but I do this everytime a reactor asks for it… here’s everyone’s ages!! Tanjiro Kamado is 15-16 Nezuko Kamado is 14 (chronologically). Since she’s a demon, and demons don’t physically age, she’s physically 12 becuz that’s how old she was when she was turned into one. Zenitsu Agatsuma is 16 Inosuke Hashibira is 15 Kanao Tsuyuri is 16 Genya Shinazugawa is 16 (and the oldest from Tanjiro’s final selection group) Aoi Kanzaki is 16-17 And the Hashiras are… Giyuu Tomioka (Water) is 21 Shinobu Kocho (Insect) is 18 Kyojuro Rengoku (Flame) was 20 Tengen Uzui (Sound) is 23 Mitsuri Kanroji (Love) is 19 Muichiro Tokito (Mist) is 14 Sanemi Shinazugawa (Wind) is 21 Obanai Iguro (Serpent) is 21 Gyomei Himejima (Stone) is 27 And some other important characters… Kagaya Ubuyashiki (the Master) is 23 Amane Ubuyashiki (his wife) is 27 All 5 of the Ubuyashiki kids are 8 Tengen’s wives, Hinatsuru - 21, Makio - 20, Suma - 19 Hotaru Haganezuka is 37 Kanae Kocho (Shinobu’s sister) was 17 when she died, but if she were still alive she would be 21 Sumi, Naho, and Kiyo are around 8 Senjuro Rengoku (Rengoku’s Brother) is between 12-14 So yeah, that’s what I’ve got for now
So many of these ages seem wrong. Did you get the info from the manga? I'm asking as someone who didn't read it and does not want any spoilers of it, just wanting to know where you got it from
@@carolinamansur113 All of their ages I got from the wiki or from the manga. Don’t worry, I am very much aware at the weird implications of the Ubuyashiki family lol. Funnily enough, their ages are some of the ones that come directly from the manga. We know that Gyomei was 19 when his backstory transpired and he’s been a Hashira for 8 years, making him 27. We also know from him that Kagaya was 14 when they met so he would be 23. As for Amane and the quintuplets their ages are revealed in some of the ultimate guide books and some extra pages in the manga. Are there any others that didn’t feel right?
@@loonieclips3922 I think I understand... Tanjiro definitely feels wrong. I've seen people saying he was 13 on the very beginning and season 1 alone tool 2 years, so I can't see a way he'd be only 15 or even 16 when he's had long recovery times + those two years. Tokito seems wrong, but I've watched season 3 a good while ago and can't really remember if they mentioned it or not, even though I do remember him being very young (I think the younger to become a hashira, but I'm not sure and please no spoilers, I'm just saying I remember seeing it). The Kocho sisters also seem a bit wrong (honestly all the younger hashiras because they all strike me as being at least 25 or close to 30, but I can get them being so young)/strange
The prayer before the meal is a tradition from Japan, thanks for the meal is the closest translation to the prayer which is itadakimasu. If you watch anime in VO you'll hear it very often.
"What a horrible thing to say... who's family has a single blemish?" >Imean... it's not horrible if the blemish is a immortal man-eating, murder happy demon making monster... That's kinda too nice of an insult really...
@@DefaultSeaTurtleNot really. Considering that the man commands through the exact opposite method than the absurdly evil demon (gentle respect & earned admiration vs threats & subjugation) and his consistent kindness, it says a lot that his worst insult for Muzan's putrid, cowardly existence is to compare him to the rest of the family. Honestly, it's pretty justified to overlook normal human flaws when the point of comparison is a monster with a thousand year long murder spree and a god complex to boot.
Fun fact: while Muzan takes no joy in creating demons and only sees them as a means to further his goals, it is something of a hobby for him to come up with names for his upper moons Upper 1 Kokushibo: translates to the black plague conspiracy Upper 2 Douma: means spooky child Upper 3 Akaza: means where beautiful things are hidden Upper 4 Hantengu: means boastful as to imply that Muzan was very prideful when he named him Upper 5 Gyokko: his means Jade vase Upper 6 Daki: means fallen princess Upper 6 Gyutaro: is the job for boys who look for customers to send to geisha's Also, I believe that all the Upper moons are meant to represent the 7 sins of humanity like in Fullmetal Alchemist
for your information, their ages are: - nezuko and muichiro (mist hashira) are 14 - tanjiro and inosuke are 15 - zenitsu, kanao and genya (the wind hashira’s brother) are 16 - shinobu is 18 - mitsuri (love hashira) is 19 - rengoku was 20 - giyuu, sanemi (wind hashira) and obanai (serpent hashira) are 21 - tengen is 23 - gyomei (stone hashira) is 27
Honey badgers are actually considered to be among the most intelligent animals on the planet they are excellent problem solvers, highly adaptive animals and are very self-aware.
Somthing i noticed when i watched season three that i hope you guys will notice is the improvement in the dubs voice acting, honestly i was fine with tanjiros dub va, i thought his voice fit the character well and he delivered in pretty much all of the important moments, the only issue is that i always found his delivery of a lot of his lines to sound kind of off, somthing i noticed but never really minded. however in this season, i never noticed none of those moments and i was genuinly suprised, zach (tanjiros VA) has really stepped upmhis game for this season and i am all for it, and it makes me exited for his performance in future seasons. Also just want to add that the dub in general for season 3 is phenomenal leaps and bounds above all of the previous seasons in my opinion.
@bethanymiddleton5758 Well, they actually didn't throughout season 1, mugen train, and entertainment district. In fact, they made the subtitles sound more realistic when spoken in English, without changing the main messages. Swordsmith Village Arc is where the subtitles to English dub became a little sloppy. I mean, I still believe that it was done fairly well for the most part; however, it was the one where they messed up translations the most.
@DMage_ Honestly, I hear people say this after ever new arc in Demon Slayer. I truly don't understand it; he has done a good job since season 1, in my opinion.
To answer the age question: Tanjiro was 13 in the first episode of the series, but 15 when he finished training with Urokodaki in the mountains. Since there had been a couple months of recovery/training at the Butterfly Mansion after killing the spider demons, a 2 month coma after the entertainment district (plus however long he recovered after waking up), and however much time all his other missions have taken together he is probably close to or around 16 years old here. When Nezuko was turned into a demon she was 12. Mitsuri (the love hashira) is apparently 19 years old, and Tokito (the mist hashira) is 14 years old.
I feel like everything would of made sense if yall remember the name of Tanjiros father. His name is Tanjuro and this was already mentioned in S1 when Tanjiro is introducing himself to Haganezuka, however the guy in this episode is named Sumiyoshi which just means its a different person.
I just want to say thank you so much to both Kenny and Montana and everyone else that makes the Letts React channel happen, I discovered this channel earlier this year while death note was being released and watched every new episode as it came out, I also used this channel and your reactions to experience full metal alchemist and attack on titan as I had no other way to watch them and your reactions, attention to detail and personalities just made it so enjoyable to me and made it feel like I was just watching with a group of friends. I love all of your content and you guys have quickly become one of my favourite channels on TH-cam your uploads of demon slayer and gravity falls have become the highlights of my weeks I spend each day counting down to when I finally get to sit down and watch a fun new episode of my favourite shows with you guys and experience your reactions because they make me learn new things I missed myself when watching. You guys are a shining light in my life that’s just a fun good time with no negative thoughts or feelings and I just want to say how much I appreciate your work and thank you for all of the laughs and hours of enjoyment you guys have given me, keep up the good work, you guys are awesome!
UM1 is the strongest of the Moons. Despite everyone rambling on he is not Tanjiros father. He has fought Akaza two times before. And Akaza was utterly defeated. UM1 has been challenged by other UMs several times. Akaza is the only to ever survive a fight with him. UM1 is also the oldest Demon next to Muzan.
Akaza is a demon who refuses to eat women due to his morals and the first thing Doma mentions to Akaza is how he’s displaying the head of a woman in a pot
The instrument that the female demon uses is called a Biwa, you talked over them calling her The Biwa Lady. The gesture Tanjiro uses before eating is the itadakimasu prayer, Itadakimasu is a common Japanese phrase used before eating a meal. Literally, it means "I humbly receive" and is often used to thank someone for the meal. The swordsmiths wear a more comical version of a Hyottoko Mask. Hyottoko (火男) is a comical Japanese character, portrayed through the use of a mask. His mouth is puckered and skewed to one side. Some masks have different eye sizes between the left and right eyes. He is often wearing a scarf around his head (usually white with blue dots). There is a similar character for women called Okame (阿亀) or Otafuku (阿多福). The origin of the name comes from "fire" (火, hi) and "man" (男, otoko), because the character is blowing fire with a bamboo pipe, hence the shape of the mouth.
The hand clapping, prayer like gesture is a Japanese tradition of giving thanks before a meal. It's more noticeable if you're watching subs because they always say "Itadakimasu" when they do it. Google gives its literal translation as "I humbly receive", but it translates better into english as "Thank you for the meal", which is how it's used.
I'd just like to say out of all the reactions I watch I really love ur guys channel it's engaging, intelligent, entertaining I can put it on while I game and often times put the controller down just to watch and listen 😅 keep it up yall. U deserve the growth and subs
As much as I love the second half of season 2, I can't wait for their reactions to this season. Hopefully, by the end, another Demon Slayer movie or season will be released.
The guy who looked like Tanjiro and was wearing a green kimono, is not Tanjiro's dad. Tanjiro's dad's name is Tanjuro, while this person's name is Sumiyoshi.
There were two brothers Kokushibo who became the upper 1 moon demon and the other brother Yoriichi who was the greatest swordsmen among the demon slayer corp who almost beheaded Muzan.
No spoilers but just make notes of the dates that are said. Like the title a sword from 300 years ago or when the demons say we were together 113 years ago.
MY BOY KENNY IS WATCHING MY FAVE ANIME EVER. When i say one piece is life changing, i mean it. It is so worth the commitment, i can't even put into words how mindblowing the writing and now animation is. 20 years of content and it never got boring. Stick with it Kenny!!!!
Something that shouldn't be overlooked from this beginning. Every single demon we have ever seen has been shown to be EXTREMELY afraid of Muzan, except for two. Douma and Kokushibo. They speak so casually to Muzan in that opening and he lets them get away with it. We should be afraid of how strong they are that they're able to do that.
"Honeybadgers dont fear Lions or God. They dont play Games, since following Rules goes against their Believes." Casual Geographic Much like the Honeybadger, Inosuke is not really immune to poisen, more like highly resistant. If they get too much in their system, they fall into a Koma and than walk it off like a BAD Hangover. Inosuke on the Ceiling is the best visuel Joke in Anime History!
Spoilers.............. 1.sumiyoshi was meet to yorichi,who is powerful character a whole series include : muzan and uppermoons 2. Yorichi was user of 1st sun breathing holder and all breathing are derived from sun breathing. 3.kokushibo is a uppermoon 1 and in past accurately 500 years ago thats name: michikatsu tsugikuni that's person was little brother of yorichi 🔥
I am impressed the guy was nearly spot on with his prediction but they didn't pay attention to the fact that it is was said the upper moon last met together 100 years ago meaning that Sumiyoshi cannot be Tanjiro's dad. But at least it was refreshing not hearing another reactor say Yoriichi is Tanjiro's dad. Plus the guy was spot on about Muzan convincing a Demon Slayer to turn into a demon to become stronger. But i don't blame them because Michikatsu/Kokushibo & Yoriichi are twins
It's the hand gestures in the in the middle of the tangible.Saw his ancestors the one with the come.The one with what time you're at wear every time on a mission look about
34:43 that's got to be the best fan theory I've ever heard from an (anime only) reactor unlike others who just blatantly speak nonsense like saying that UM1 is Tanjiro's dad.
Ngl though the fact that akaza had the guts to threaten kokushibo even thoguh he knows that he'll still lose is what makes one of the most badass characters in demon slayer. That's why he's my fav demon ❄️🥶
I hate how everyone forgets fhe flashback of yorchii of the standing above the demon and also running towards daki. Remember they said it wasn't my memories its lord muzans
Fun fact! Kenny and Montana were making a joke of oh the fans are gonna say that comparing the voices for bakugo and genya is “silly” BUTTT!! The original Japanese dub for both characters are by the same guy. Nobuhiko okamoto. Hes a really good VA I love his work he even had to push through a serious vocal cord surgery and you can prolly figure out why(due to all the shouting) he also voiced rin of Blue exorcist and karma from assassination classroom. Another fav VA of mine if you read this far is kenjiro tsuda voice of overhaul. Also check out
Poison resistance/immunity is kind of like a double edged sword. Because a lot of medicine is extracted from what would otherwise be poisonous compounds before proper processing. Its why proper dosage is so important, because otherwise it WILL kill you. So being highly resistant to poisons would hamper the effects of medicines as well.
So the clasping of hands and thanking for the meal is a tradition in japanese culture. That's why Iida does it too. It's good manners to clasp your hands and say "Itadakimasu" which means "I humbly receive [this meal]". Also there's a nosebleed scene in FMAB, I believe, that you didn't notice because it's not played up to extremes like most nosebleed scenes are in anime.
It’s amazing how everyone has their own specific reaction and response to this serious meeting. No one is reacting the same way and everyone is behaving differently.
the baby hand one is former upper 5 and the sword one is upper 1 HE was a demon slayer before transforming in to a demon by Muzan and the white haired one is upper 2 and the big headed one is upper 4 and the stripped one is upper 3 and the guitar demon is upper 4 (new)
Just a reminder, the upper rank demons are all at least 100+ years old, as this is the first time they've had a meeting since. So, if Kokushibou has been a demon for up to 100 years, he couldn't have met Tanjiro's dad before he turned. Plus, Tanjiro's dad has been stated to have been born with the scar, unlike the person we saw in the flashback. Meaning, Sumiyoshi is likely an ancestor of Tanjiro, not his father. (I don't read the manga btw, so this is just observation and speculation, not spoilers.)
30:20 the animation isn’t overly still. That’s just how it is since there’s no action. The show rarely has still frames and is still able to deliver top tier animation
The one with many baby arms is gyokko upper 5 and the one that is scared is hantengu upper 4 and doma is upper two and the one with the sword is kokuchibo upper 1
Since they didn't translate. Upper moon 5: Gyokko (Baby arm weird face guy) Upper moon 4: Hantengu (Big head scaredy cat) Upper moon 2: Doma (Rainbow Eyes) Upper moon 1: Kokushibo (6 eye samurai) In the flash back, Earing Samurai called the Tanjiro lookalike Sumiyoshi, but we know that Tanjiro's dad's name is Tanjuro. So unless Papa Tanjuro changed his name at some point, Sumiyoshi is further down the family tree.
Keep in mind, while Muzan is unbelievably powerful, he is still a single being (All demons are extensions of his own biology) but he himself is just one life, and as such his influence and power over humans can only stretch so far, he needs money, resources, influence, insight, he needs demons to be his eyes and ears in a hivemind for him to gain omnipresence and knowledge essentially through all his spawn, all the demons not Upper-ranks die too quickly in his eyes for him to care and utilize them, the Upper-ranks though have lived so long that they have sway over humans and or something more to offer than being his swords. Doma we see a glimpse of people who are his 'disciples' Daki and Gyutaro controlled the entire entertainment industry.

He’s 16
Tanjiro was 15 at the start, but there was at least a year time skip before final selection, plus months of training and recovery after that, so I believe he is 16 or 17 by now.
Makes sense since she has an extremely firey passion. They're similar in that way.
How's Tanjiro 15 if only the first season was two years long? I've seen people saying he was 13 at the very start. I don't think he was younger than that, and he's had long recovery times, so there's no way he's 15
That song played at Koku's entry enough to tell how epic he is.
Kokushibo and Douma are just amazing!
Their fights are going to be epic !
Okay, this is the episode that confused everyone especially regarding those who LOOK like Tanjiro. This is no longer a spoiler, but these 6 characters are NOT the same people.
You have....
Tanjiro Kamado (our mc; originally a charcoal burner, now a demon slayer)
Tanjuro Kamado (our mc's father who we know died from a sickness; charcoal burner)
Upper Moon 1 (unknown demon who wields a sword AND has a flame-like scar similar to Tanjuro; has been a demon for at least 100 years as we know no new upper moons have been introduced for that long)
Sumiyoshi (seen in the flashback with his wife and child and is a charcoal burner)
Unknown swordsman (seen in the flashback alongside Sumiyoshi who has a flame-like scar)
+ Sumiyoshi's son
^All separate people
If the Three Demon Slaying Amigos really WERE trying to shield Nezuko from the morning sun, then that it PRECIOUS! 🥰
I accept it as canon.
Edit: Also, Nezuko wearing a blanket to get around during the day is a hilarious concept. 😅
I don’t know if you guys do comments but I do this everytime a reactor asks for it… here’s everyone’s ages!!
Tanjiro Kamado is 15-16
Nezuko Kamado is 14 (chronologically). Since she’s a demon, and demons don’t physically age, she’s physically 12 becuz that’s how old she was when she was turned into one.
Zenitsu Agatsuma is 16
Inosuke Hashibira is 15
Kanao Tsuyuri is 16
Genya Shinazugawa is 16 (and the oldest from Tanjiro’s final selection group)
Aoi Kanzaki is 16-17
And the Hashiras are…
Giyuu Tomioka (Water) is 21
Shinobu Kocho (Insect) is 18
Kyojuro Rengoku (Flame) was 20
Tengen Uzui (Sound) is 23
Mitsuri Kanroji (Love) is 19
Muichiro Tokito (Mist) is 14
Sanemi Shinazugawa (Wind) is 21
Obanai Iguro (Serpent) is 21
Gyomei Himejima (Stone) is 27
And some other important characters…
Kagaya Ubuyashiki (the Master) is 23
Amane Ubuyashiki (his wife) is 27
All 5 of the Ubuyashiki kids are 8
Tengen’s wives, Hinatsuru - 21, Makio - 20, Suma - 19
Hotaru Haganezuka is 37
Kanae Kocho (Shinobu’s sister) was 17 when she died, but if she were still alive she would be 21
Sumi, Naho, and Kiyo are around 8
Senjuro Rengoku (Rengoku’s Brother) is between 12-14
So yeah, that’s what I’ve got for now
Thanks for that
So many of these ages seem wrong. Did you get the info from the manga?
I'm asking as someone who didn't read it and does not want any spoilers of it, just wanting to know where you got it from
@@carolinamansur113 All of their ages I got from the wiki or from the manga. Don’t worry, I am very much aware at the weird implications of the Ubuyashiki family lol. Funnily enough, their ages are some of the ones that come directly from the manga. We know that Gyomei was 19 when his backstory transpired and he’s been a Hashira for 8 years, making him 27. We also know from him that Kagaya was 14 when they met so he would be 23. As for Amane and the quintuplets their ages are revealed in some of the ultimate guide books and some extra pages in the manga. Are there any others that didn’t feel right?
@@loonieclips3922 I think I understand... Tanjiro definitely feels wrong. I've seen people saying he was 13 on the very beginning and season 1 alone tool 2 years, so I can't see a way he'd be only 15 or even 16 when he's had long recovery times + those two years.
Tokito seems wrong, but I've watched season 3 a good while ago and can't really remember if they mentioned it or not, even though I do remember him being very young (I think the younger to become a hashira, but I'm not sure and please no spoilers, I'm just saying I remember seeing it). The Kocho sisters also seem a bit wrong (honestly all the younger hashiras because they all strike me as being at least 25 or close to 30, but I can get them being so young)/strange
Oh, by the way, I forgot, thank you for such a polite response and for answering what I actually asked about
Genya’s Sub VA is bakugo’s VA as well so it fits.
The prayer before the meal is a tradition from Japan, thanks for the meal is the closest translation to the prayer which is itadakimasu. If you watch anime in VO you'll hear it very often.
"What a horrible thing to say... who's family has a single blemish?"
>Imean... it's not horrible if the blemish is a immortal man-eating, murder happy demon making monster... That's kinda too nice of an insult really...
I think the intent was to say that every family has many blemishes. Saying that his family has only one reveals a bit about him as a character.
@@DefaultSeaTurtleNot really. Considering that the man commands through the exact opposite method than the absurdly evil demon (gentle respect & earned admiration vs threats & subjugation) and his consistent kindness, it says a lot that his worst insult for Muzan's putrid, cowardly existence is to compare him to the rest of the family. Honestly, it's pretty justified to overlook normal human flaws when the point of comparison is a monster with a thousand year long murder spree and a god complex to boot.
Fun fact: while Muzan takes no joy in creating demons and only sees them as a means to further his goals, it is something of a hobby for him to come up with names for his upper moons
Upper 1 Kokushibo: translates to the black plague conspiracy
Upper 2 Douma: means spooky child
Upper 3 Akaza: means where beautiful things are hidden
Upper 4 Hantengu: means boastful as to imply that Muzan was very prideful when he named him
Upper 5 Gyokko: his means Jade vase
Upper 6 Daki: means fallen princess
Upper 6 Gyutaro: is the job for boys who look for customers to send to geisha's
Also, I believe that all the Upper moons are meant to represent the 7 sins of humanity like in Fullmetal Alchemist
Almost all the name translations you gave are wrong
99% of these are Wrong how tf you get these
@@ShikageBlackthorneOn second thought, they're all wrong
It almost sounds like he went out of his way to translate them incorrectly
@@ShikageBlackthornelol I was really taking in all that fun fact and was smiling. Only to open the replies and see that they were wrong😭😭
@@kyroking9934 imagine being on the receiving end of the comments 🤣
for your information, their ages are:
- nezuko and muichiro (mist hashira) are 14
- tanjiro and inosuke are 15
- zenitsu, kanao and genya (the wind hashira’s brother) are 16
- shinobu is 18
- mitsuri (love hashira) is 19
- rengoku was 20
- giyuu, sanemi (wind hashira) and obanai (serpent hashira) are 21
- tengen is 23
- gyomei (stone hashira) is 27
Nezuko is 12 because she became an immortal Demon when she was 12
@@bethanymiddleton5758 no, she has the body of a 12 year old, but she is 14. just like muzan is +1.000, kokushibo is +400, etc.
Honey badgers are actually considered to be among the most intelligent animals on the planet they are excellent problem solvers, highly adaptive animals and are very self-aware.
At 23:19 That was not a black blade, it was just the sheath
Yes. But his blade actually is black anyway
@@blakeroland9982, but it changes to red during combat though. Just wanted to share that.
Sheath is same colour of blade 😂
Somthing i noticed when i watched season three that i hope you guys will notice is the improvement in the dubs voice acting, honestly i was fine with tanjiros dub va, i thought his voice fit the character well and he delivered in pretty much all of the important moments, the only issue is that i always found his delivery of a lot of his lines to sound kind of off, somthing i noticed but never really minded.
however in this season, i never noticed none of those moments and i was genuinly suprised, zach (tanjiros VA) has really stepped upmhis game for this season and i am all for it, and it makes me exited for his performance in future seasons.
Also just want to add that the dub in general for season 3 is phenomenal leaps and bounds above all of the previous seasons in my opinion.
The english dub made lots of mistakes translating, unfortunately
I totally agree. And zach is also able to maintain the tanjiro voice better when yelling too
@bethanymiddleton5758 Well, they actually didn't throughout season 1, mugen train, and entertainment district. In fact, they made the subtitles sound more realistic when spoken in English, without changing the main messages. Swordsmith Village Arc is where the subtitles to English dub became a little sloppy. I mean, I still believe that it was done fairly well for the most part; however, it was the one where they messed up translations the most.
@DMage_ Honestly, I hear people say this after ever new arc in Demon Slayer. I truly don't understand it; he has done a good job since season 1, in my opinion.
@@brock8752 nah hes always been good in my opinion, but i still think hes improved alot since season 1
I'm just glad that your initial reaction to Upper Rank 1 is not that he's Tanjiro's dad.
Omg, this is probably my favorite episode in the whole show.
The blood nose thing is actually more specific to sexy thoughts rather than general attraction but close enough :D
To answer the age question: Tanjiro was 13 in the first episode of the series, but 15 when he finished training with Urokodaki in the mountains. Since there had been a couple months of recovery/training at the Butterfly Mansion after killing the spider demons, a 2 month coma after the entertainment district (plus however long he recovered after waking up), and however much time all his other missions have taken together he is probably close to or around 16 years old here. When Nezuko was turned into a demon she was 12. Mitsuri (the love hashira) is apparently 19 years old, and Tokito (the mist hashira) is 14 years old.
Tanjiro's Dad was born with a scar therefore "Tsumiyoshi" idk the spelling is an "ancestor" of Tanjiro's not directly his dad
Sumiyoshi
I feel like everything would of made sense if yall remember the name of Tanjiros father. His name is Tanjuro and this was already mentioned in S1 when Tanjiro is introducing himself to Haganezuka, however the guy in this episode is named Sumiyoshi which just means its a different person.
I just want to say thank you so much to both Kenny and Montana and everyone else that makes the Letts React channel happen, I discovered this channel earlier this year while death note was being released and watched every new episode as it came out, I also used this channel and your reactions to experience full metal alchemist and attack on titan as I had no other way to watch them and your reactions, attention to detail and personalities just made it so enjoyable to me and made it feel like I was just watching with a group of friends. I love all of your content and you guys have quickly become one of my favourite channels on TH-cam your uploads of demon slayer and gravity falls have become the highlights of my weeks I spend each day counting down to when I finally get to sit down and watch a fun new episode of my favourite shows with you guys and experience your reactions because they make me learn new things I missed myself when watching. You guys are a shining light in my life that’s just a fun good time with no negative thoughts or feelings and I just want to say how much I appreciate your work and thank you for all of the laughs and hours of enjoyment you guys have given me, keep up the good work, you guys are awesome!
Funny enough, Bakugo has the same sub va as Genya.
hale nah cuz that's Connie's va, and genya's voice is not connie's
Edit: my brain skipped over the word "sub"
32:23
The cat: "Phew! I'm so glad he's fine. I thought he'd died..."
UM1 is the strongest of the Moons. Despite everyone rambling on he is not Tanjiros father. He has fought Akaza two times before. And Akaza was utterly defeated. UM1 has been challenged by other UMs several times. Akaza is the only to ever survive a fight with him. UM1 is also the oldest Demon next to Muzan.
You guys outstand so much! I love how much attention you pay to the anime. Not like all the other reaction channels
Akaza is a demon who refuses to eat women due to his morals and the first thing Doma mentions to Akaza is how he’s displaying the head of a woman in a pot
Hi Revali. First thing Douma does is insult Akaza. Great first introduction
dont spoil it, that info will come more later on
@@xaxa1208 hey i spoiled nothing. as of now this future knowledge doesn't exist
@@daisyphinney1038that's not how that works 😑
@@laurainathunderstorm hhehehehe
The instrument that the female demon uses is called a Biwa, you talked over them calling her The Biwa Lady.
The gesture Tanjiro uses before eating is the itadakimasu prayer, Itadakimasu is a common Japanese phrase used before eating a meal. Literally, it means "I humbly receive" and is often used to thank someone for the meal.
The swordsmiths wear a more comical version of a Hyottoko Mask. Hyottoko (火男) is a comical Japanese character, portrayed through the use of a mask. His mouth is puckered and skewed to one side. Some masks have different eye sizes between the left and right eyes. He is often wearing a scarf around his head (usually white with blue dots). There is a similar character for women called Okame (阿亀) or Otafuku (阿多福).
The origin of the name comes from "fire" (火, hi) and "man" (男, otoko), because the character is blowing fire with a bamboo pipe, hence the shape of the mouth.
The hand clapping, prayer like gesture is a Japanese tradition of giving thanks before a meal. It's more noticeable if you're watching subs because they always say "Itadakimasu" when they do it. Google gives its literal translation as "I humbly receive", but it translates better into english as "Thank you for the meal", which is how it's used.
One thing they forgot for the english dub in this episode was to have Tanjiro's voice echo once he got to the Village 😅
The board guy in the ceiling that's so funny I left and board guy also laughing that give me begging big laugh
I'd just like to say out of all the reactions I watch I really love ur guys channel it's engaging, intelligent, entertaining I can put it on while I game and often times put the controller down just to watch and listen 😅 keep it up yall. U deserve the growth and subs
I SWEAR THE DONUT THING WITH RENGOKU IS NASTY 😭😭😭
Funny thing is Genya and Bakugo actually share a voice actor in the Japanese sub. Comparing them is really fair lol
As much as I love the second half of season 2, I can't wait for their reactions to this season. Hopefully, by the end, another Demon Slayer movie or season will be released.
The next season is being released in April and it's dubbed version will be later than that
The guy who looked like Tanjiro and was wearing a green kimono, is not Tanjiro's dad. Tanjiro's dad's name is Tanjuro, while this person's name is Sumiyoshi.
There were two brothers Kokushibo who became the upper 1 moon demon and the other brother Yoriichi who was the greatest swordsmen among the demon slayer corp who almost beheaded Muzan.
No spoilers but just make notes of the dates that are said. Like the title a sword from 300 years ago or when the demons say we were together 113 years ago.
Chilling here in bed with my douma plushie so happy that they are at my fav episode
MY BOY KENNY IS WATCHING MY FAVE ANIME EVER. When i say one piece is life changing, i mean it. It is so worth the commitment, i can't even put into words how mindblowing the writing and now animation is. 20 years of content and it never got boring. Stick with it Kenny!!!!
Fun Fact: Genya's Japanese voice actor also VA's Bakugo. It's cool that you still made that connection even though this is in English!
Something that shouldn't be overlooked from this beginning. Every single demon we have ever seen has been shown to be EXTREMELY afraid of Muzan, except for two. Douma and Kokushibo. They speak so casually to Muzan in that opening and he lets them get away with it. We should be afraid of how strong they are that they're able to do that.
"Honeybadgers dont fear Lions or God. They dont play Games, since following Rules goes against their Believes."
Casual Geographic
Much like the Honeybadger, Inosuke is not really immune to poisen, more like highly resistant. If they get too much in their system, they fall into a Koma and than walk it off like a BAD Hangover.
Inosuke on the Ceiling is the best visuel Joke in Anime History!
Spoilers..............
1.sumiyoshi was meet to yorichi,who is powerful character a whole series include : muzan and uppermoons
2. Yorichi was user of 1st sun breathing holder and all breathing are derived from sun breathing.
3.kokushibo is a uppermoon 1 and in past accurately 500 years ago thats name: michikatsu tsugikuni that's person was little brother of yorichi 🔥
I am impressed the guy was nearly spot on with his prediction but they didn't pay attention to the fact that it is was said the upper moon last met together 100 years ago meaning that Sumiyoshi cannot be Tanjiro's dad. But at least it was refreshing not hearing another reactor say Yoriichi is Tanjiro's dad.
Plus the guy was spot on about Muzan convincing a Demon Slayer to turn into a demon to become stronger. But i don't blame them because Michikatsu/Kokushibo & Yoriichi are twins
Not me absolutely POUTING when tanjiro got a nosebleed from mitsuri 😂😂
I LIKE KANAO A LOT :)
Seeing this in theaters in March was one of the best moments of my year 😁
The Upper Moons meeting was the best part of the episode.
It's the hand gestures in the in the middle of the tangible.Saw his ancestors the one with the come.The one with what time you're at wear every time on a mission look about
Genya and Bakugou are voiced by the same Japanese VA so you're not far off hahaha
No one in this episode that looks like Tanjiro is his dad
Same Name But Spelled a Lil Bit Different😂😂
now, that man in the Tanjiros dad flashback is Yorichii, sun breather. He is Kokushibos brother. Kokushibo uses moon breathing.
37:21 You just wanted to watch it twice. Don't act clever here 😂
I love the confusion of them, when they see yorichi
kokoshiba is yorichis twin brothere that got turned into a demon
28:16 - It think it said “Normal Style: Abdominal Breathing” 😂
Love yalls discussions
34:43 that's got to be the best fan theory I've ever heard from an (anime only) reactor unlike others who just blatantly speak nonsense like saying that UM1 is Tanjiro's dad.
right?? Spoilers
Kenny also predicted Kokushibo's motivation and backstory surprisingly accurately. He just got the wrong guy.
Being able to see this in theaters was one of my biggest highlights of the year for me 😁
Akaza has the most humanity remaining
Ngl though the fact that akaza had the guts to threaten kokushibo even thoguh he knows that he'll still lose is what makes one of the most badass characters in demon slayer. That's why he's my fav demon ❄️🥶
I hate how everyone forgets fhe flashback of yorchii of the standing above the demon and also running towards daki.
Remember they said it wasn't my memories its lord muzans
Fun fact!
Kenny and Montana were making a joke of oh the fans are gonna say that comparing the voices for bakugo and genya is “silly” BUTTT!!
The original Japanese dub for both characters are by the same guy. Nobuhiko okamoto. Hes a really good VA I love his work he even had to push through a serious vocal cord surgery and you can prolly figure out why(due to all the shouting) he also voiced rin of Blue exorcist and karma from assassination classroom.
Another fav VA of mine if you read this far is kenjiro tsuda voice of overhaul.
Also check out
Bakugo and Genya have the same japanese voice actor. It was funny you said that.😂
The instrument she playes is called, Biwa.
Thank you. 😭 Not being able to remember was driving me crazy.
Another thing to note is that tanjiros dad wears a orange coat with black squares. This man with the earrings is wearing solid red
I'm fucking shaking waiting for this. This episode is so good.
Poison resistance/immunity is kind of like a double edged sword. Because a lot of medicine is extracted from what would otherwise be poisonous compounds before proper processing. Its why proper dosage is so important, because otherwise it WILL kill you. So being highly resistant to poisons would hamper the effects of medicines as well.
So the clasping of hands and thanking for the meal is a tradition in japanese culture. That's why Iida does it too. It's good manners to clasp your hands and say "Itadakimasu" which means "I humbly receive [this meal]".
Also there's a nosebleed scene in FMAB, I believe, that you didn't notice because it's not played up to extremes like most nosebleed scenes are in anime.
The nose bleeding trope is basically “blood rushing to your head” type biz
It’s amazing how everyone has their own specific reaction and response to this serious meeting. No one is reacting the same way and everyone is behaving differently.
the baby hand one is former upper 5 and the sword one is upper 1 HE was a demon slayer before transforming in to a demon by Muzan and the white haired one is upper 2 and the big headed one is upper 4 and the stripped one is upper 3 and the guitar demon is upper 4 (new)
That's funny, I never even considered that they were trying to shield Nezuko in case the sun rose. That's pretty good observation.
Just a reminder, the upper rank demons are all at least 100+ years old, as this is the first time they've had a meeting since. So, if Kokushibou has been a demon for up to 100 years, he couldn't have met Tanjiro's dad before he turned. Plus, Tanjiro's dad has been stated to have been born with the scar, unlike the person we saw in the flashback. Meaning, Sumiyoshi is likely an ancestor of Tanjiro, not his father. (I don't read the manga btw, so this is just observation and speculation, not spoilers.)
30:20 the animation isn’t overly still. That’s just how it is since there’s no action. The show rarely has still frames and is still able to deliver top tier animation
The one with many baby arms is gyokko upper 5 and the one that is scared is hantengu upper 4 and doma is upper two and the one with the sword is kokuchibo upper 1
Can't wait for this one! Kokushibo (KING), Douma, and Mitsuri stole this ep!
I'd be disappointed if kokushibo doesn't have 6 arms for 6 eyes
I'm not looking forward to Koksushibo, IMO he was so underused and gets overshadowed massively by Doma and Akaza.@@hkaayaakuu
@@TheCourtsOfLove thanks man. You know how to keep me hooked
It's more of a don't get your hopes up.@@hkaayaakuu
@@TheCourtsOfLove ahhh keeping me protected, thanks man
Since they didn't translate.
Upper moon 5: Gyokko (Baby arm weird face guy)
Upper moon 4: Hantengu (Big head scaredy cat)
Upper moon 2: Doma (Rainbow Eyes)
Upper moon 1: Kokushibo
(6 eye samurai)
In the flash back, Earing Samurai called the Tanjiro lookalike Sumiyoshi, but we know that Tanjiro's dad's name is Tanjuro. So unless Papa Tanjuro changed his name at some point, Sumiyoshi is further down the family tree.
abdominal breathing is what gtarlo was using when he was screaming at kanao
Genya has the same English voice actor as Hunter from the owl house btw ^^
I'd love to see the little Nurses in a live action Demon Slayer movie(s).
Tanjiro said himself that his dad born with a faint mark on his head in s2
Fun fact - japanis voice actor of Genya Shinazugawa is the same as Bakugo from My hero Academia.
Keep in mind, while Muzan is unbelievably powerful, he is still a single being (All demons are extensions of his own biology) but he himself is just one life, and as such his influence and power over humans can only stretch so far, he needs money, resources, influence, insight, he needs demons to be his eyes and ears in a hivemind for him to gain omnipresence and knowledge essentially through all his spawn, all the demons not Upper-ranks die too quickly in his eyes for him to care and utilize them, the Upper-ranks though have lived so long that they have sway over humans and or something more to offer than being his swords.
Doma we see a glimpse of people who are his 'disciples'
Daki and Gyutaro controlled the entire entertainment industry.
The Japanese voice actor for Genya is the same as the Japanese voice actor for Bakugo lmao
