It's crazy when you look at the parallels between Tanjiro and Gyuutaro: Two caring big brothers who look after their little sisters and carry them on their backs. One raised with love, the other raised with hate. Both who were away when disaster struck. One who was saved by a Hashira, the other who was saved by a Demon.
True, comes back to the debate of nature vs nurture. Like tanjiro said, if his circumstances were different it would be him being beheaded. Love this kind of writing like megamind.
This episode made me cry like a baby, Gyutaro hated everyone even himself but he always loved his sister and he literally raised her and did everything to provide to her a good life, she was his treasure and his reason to live.
Ume has the choice to go to Heaven, that's why she has returned to her human form, because she never had the choice whether or not to become a demon in the first place. By the way, they don't really explain it in the anime but she stabbed the samurai for insulting her brother and possibly attempting to do some other stuff (considering she worked in a brothel). Gyuutaro however remains a Demon who is doomed to Hell, maybe he chose to remain a demon, so she chooses to go with him.
If you watched when Gyutaro and Ume/ Daki were walking through the flames Gyutaro also reverted back to his human form. I'm suprided most people and reactors don't notice.
When you consider Daki's behavior over the season, and especially when Gyuutaro is awake, you can tell that she's still a 13 year old child in personality, just twisted with the concepts of beauty and value and the desire to look mature and beautiful.
I love Demon Slayer animation and music but... Bro, I really hate how this manga and anime tries to make you feel bad for the demons, for real lmao Like, you hated it and hoped for Tanjiro to fucking kill them, and even himself felt it. Only to end like "aww poor thing, they killed a fuckton of people but they aren't bad :("... That's such lazy writting...
@@laiofurious6433 I think that's a part of the message, where even sometimes the worst of people have a reason to be where they are. Because Demon Slayer isn't really trying to excuse these demons' behaviours, but tries to show how strength in kindness can really change a person for the better. Bojack Horseman goes into this idea as well and executes it near perfectly.
For me Daki and her brother's Background are one of the most saddest background stories I ever seen in an Anime, not only in Demon Slayer.. which in the show its THE Most Saddest backstory I ever heard. Season 2 Was Nothing less then Absolute Amazing, From start to finish. even the part where they told the story of the Muzan train again even with that it was still just AMAZING. I can't wait for season 3 to come out. And see what will happen. Amazing reaction, its Ok if you cry at the backstory. I did too, I cried multiple times on that as I seen that backstory multiple times now, and its intensely sad. Especially when Umi/Daki jumps up on her brother's back and cries, as you see in his brothers face how he feels SOO Horrible for saying those things to her and made her cry. Then She brings up the promise.. and it just shatters the heart.. Like Oh my god.. that part broke me first time I saw it. I had to take like an 5-10min break after seeing that to clean up and compose myself. Then the ending started and I was just overly Happy.
Fun fact:According to the author, the reason why Ume thrusted that samurai's eye is that he insulted Gyutaro, so she got really mad... Don't know if Gyutaro knew it because Demons usually forget almost all the memories they had when they were humans. The mere fact that Gyutaro and Daki never forgot that they are syblings and helped out each other for over 100 years...makes me wanna cry.
Yeah and it had to do with Gyutaro being ugly. For someone who detests all things ugly, Ume loved her brother. And for someone who hated all things beautiful, Gyutaro loved his sister.
Akaza's backstory ain't shit compared to this backstory. Even Rui's backstory is more tragic than Akaza. Btw, why do u jackasses always gotta hype shit up instead of letting him get the full experience? You're like foaming at the mouth just to fill on spoil shit and tell the story yourself
Everyone hates Akaza because he killed everyone's favourate but in the end he will be everyone's favourate ... I got chills through my throata fter reading Akaza's backstory from the manga mannn I was about to cry .. I wonder what will happen when its animated ...Believe me I am really a man with strong heart but for the forst time I almost cried reading something I ve never cried before watching a emotional movie....
I love the demon backstories. They're not there to necessarily make you forgive the demons, but to make you understand that often times humans are the _true_ monsters that push others to become demons. It's almost as if Muzan senses and specifically picks 'broken' people so that he can manipulate and turn them into hateful creatures. "Humans who are hurt by Demons become Demon Slayers, Humans who are hurt by Humans become Demons"
While many people react to Daki's crying voice by calling it noisy, Nicholas is really the best, praising it as wonderful. Miyuki Sawashiro is able to play the difference between her voice when she was courtesan and that voice that became a little younger when her brother came out, and it is really wonderful. However, people from overseas who are doing the reactions often say that she is "noisy," and I always thought that she is not. Thanks for the compliment on Miyuki Sawashiro's performance! Japanese voice actors are truly amazing.👏👏👏 堕姫の泣き声をうるさいと言ってリアクションする人が多い中、素晴らしいと褒めてくれるニコラスさんは本当に最高。 遊女の時の声と、お兄ちゃんが出て来て少し幼くなったあの声の違いを、沢城みゆきさんは演じ分けていて、それが本当に素晴らしいんです。 でも、リアクションをしている海外の方は「うるさい！」と良く言っていて、そうじゃないんだよ！！とずっと思っていました。 沢城みゆきさんの演技を褒めてくれてありがとう！ 日本の声優さんは、本当にすごいです！
I think most call her noisy because she's a demon who killed many but cries like everything is unfair to her, rathen than her vocie itself being noisy. After all she has an amazing range. But i get what you mean. I actually cried because the voice actress really did an awesome job conveying that immature side of Daki and her crying in the end while arguing with his brother is so sad. At the end of the day they only had each other whether they were humans or demons
I find it funny how so many people misunderstand Nezuko's ability lol. From the very start it always served the same purpose; exploding blood that combusts and only affects demons. We saw her burn Rui's blood webs, we saw her burn Enmu's magic rope while literally setting the Demon Slayers on fire during Mugen Train, and we saw her burn Daki and trigger her PTSD from her human memories of being roasted alive. Nezuko's ability negates other demon abilities with special flames, and here she is simply burning Gyuutaro's demon art poison blood out of their bodies. But I guess it's possible that it can at least cauterize human wounds., who knows.
I just love that throughout the series, Tanjiro carried Nezuko on his back, but now Nezuko gets to carry Tanjiro on her back! So cute! But yes, without a doubt this season majorly topped season 1. The first season we had a lot of growth to do, learning about the characters and a lot of set up, with some of course amazing fights and stories. But this one, aside from Mugen Train being an arc by itself, just looking at this as its own arc, this is the best one so far. They didn't waste much time dealing with bullshit, no filler, just pure getting down to business. And once it did, it was FIRE! Speaking of, man once you knew about what happened to Daki, you remember back when Nezuko went beast mode on her and burned her up, there was a line from Daki that was like a call back to when she was burned up in life, so its no wonder why she hates to be burned, you know? Its so, so good!! I'm glad we got to watch this along with you Nick. There couldn't have been a better welcome to this world of anime. What anime are you thinking of watching next? You should watch Fire Force! Or if you want some longer series, watch My Hero Acadamia.
Now that I’m all caught up on Demon Slayer, my main focus will be finishing AOT and JJK. Might add another show into the mix ;) As far as Demon Slayer goes.. wow, just wow. Might make a video talking about my overall thoughts about the first 2 seasons. If that sounds good, let me know! I have so much to say about this show and I feel like jerking off Ufotable a bit. Oh, and in the outro, I said season 2 was “inferior” .. I meant superior. I failed school yall, forgive me 😂😂😂
hey nick now that you're done with demon slayer I think you should give black clover a chance and watch its openings they're all bangers man I'm sure you'd love it
Bruh not gonna lie i was just THIS CLOSE to crying throughout the episode but when they showed gyuutaro's backstory i just lost i was crying for 10 straight minutes..... Man i just loved the parallel between tanjiro and gyuutaro
One of the saddest backstories in all anime history. You can't not hate them, but you can understand their situation because of everything they've been through.
This last episode really made me tear up, the first time I saw it and now too... The story of Daki and Gyutaro is just so... I don't even have the words
I find "humans are the true monsters" to be gigacringe because it's become so common in fiction that it's become a trope. Basically every anime and western zombie franchise where there are monstrous humanoids turns into a story where the humans can be argued to be an even worse threat than the zombies or the demons or in the case of Demon Slayer you can say humans even created the problem in the first place. The Walking Dead focused on human conflict, fantasy anime that are currently running have the protagonist saving humanoid races from human captors and slavers, hell I bet someone said "titans were never the enemy, it was always humans who were the real monsters!" about Attack on Titan at some point too. It's the "humans are the real virus, nature is healing" shit. It's really nothing special, you know? It tends to have a very self-flagellating tone to it. Daki and Gyutaro's story is beautiful because the writer is able to help you sympathize with ruthless and sadistic killing machines and understand them and their choices, not because it's humans that caused the story in the first place.
@@timeforamazingchest5271 well with demon slayers I wouldn't say the point is that humans are a problem, because some demons have very lackluster backstories like the drum demon who just had his work insulted. the point is moreso that muzan creates these monsters out of normal, suffering people.
@@KingMufasa_8 Yes, I fully agree with you. Focusing entirely on humans and whether or not they are the worst is completely besides the point and it's very over-used as a twist in modern franchises. It's much more interesting to try and humanize the demons than it is to demonize the humans.
Demon Slayer Season 2 was an epic emotional rollercoaster especially after Mugen Train, I hope Tengen and his wives all have a nice retirement after this because this arc was just incredible to go along with
"Thats why you help people, otherwise they turn into demons" (Thats a really powerful quote I think) I can really relate to this in a few ways........Its always about people and will always be 🔥❤️🙏
Small thing about Nezuko's healing powers. The way her flames work (as several demons stated) is that they burn demon "matter" only, so nothing else gets damaged by them, Since Blood Demon Arts come, well, from a demons' blood, she can literally burn away Gyutaro's poison from inside a body without damaging it in any way. It's pretty cool AND well explained!
@@RamianP It's not a stated sentence, you have to put the pieces together. Rui was the first one to notice that his body and his strings were the only things Nezuko damaged and was wondering how. The blood demon arts part is basically observing. Rui, Tamayo, Gyutaro, it was clearly shown every one of them used blood as a conduit for their technique (I guess Daki used her flesh, but same thing).
For Daki to receive her true power during the fight, she got one third eye in her forehead, an eye she got from her brother. The samurai murdered her over one eyeball, whereas Gyutaro would happily give up one eye for her.
It really makes me wanna cry, imagining how Gyutaro regretted that he was away when Ume/Daki was burnt alive. He never left his sister after turning into a demon. Sleeping inside her and wake up when she's attacked... and when she really needed help he would give his eye litellary on her. Nobody taught how to love to Gyutaro, but he really loved his little sister
"I will always value emotion, more than action" DAMN! Demon Slayer is one of the those anime that has a God Tier animation in terms of fight scenes, and a God tier backstory and emotional stories of protagonists. As much as we all love the animation and fight scene from last episode, the back story of upper demons 6 were really written well, wholeheartedly! Don't Worry Nic, you're not the only one who shed tears several times in this episode... PS. Because of these reaction series, I must say, you earned a hard fan all the way from the Philippines. See you on season 3
Daki is written in Chinese characters as "堕姫'' The word "堕姫(daki)" means "fallen princess". It means terrible. That's why Gyutaro didn't call her Daki. Their mother's disease is called syphilis. It is called "梅毒(Baidoku)(syphilis)" in Chinese characters. And her name, Ume, when written in Chinese characters, becomes "梅(ume)'' That's why she was named after her mother's disease. Both Gyutaro's crooked teeth and the bruises on his body are due to the transfer of his mother's syphilis. Also, Ume stabbed the samurai in the eye with a hairpin because he insulted her about Gyutaro. I'm sorry. I'm a Japanese born and raised in Japan, so I'm not good at English. Kanji and Chinese characters are the same.
You can read that in both chinese and japanese, depending if it's hanzi or kanji, but for chinese speakers they just read it out as hanzi, and the meaning is basically identical.
That backstory hits right in the feels. People say men dont cry and i say show them some anime and we'll see. i cry every time i see this episode. Well Nicholas you caught up with your first anime, now you will experience the pain of waiting undetermine amount of time for a new season to arrive. Now the real battle begins lol Tatakae!!
I've cried so hard in this episode! That was really one of the best back storys for this special sibling demon team! I love how he always protected Ume and even in death he wanted her to be save and reborn but she chose hell to stay on his side forever.
I'm also sorry for her to be in the room with that samurai. Even in Yoshiwara entertainment district where girls were treated as commodities and trained as sex workers, usually they don't force to do it on girls younger than 17years old or so. But Ume was made to "entertain" the samurai at age 13, maybe because the "house" she belonged to was the worst kind. Gyutaro and Ume's mother caught syphilis（梅毒）and was made to work for the worst class house, where prostitutes who got sick were sent to, Gyutaro and Ume were born and raised there. They didn't give him a name so his name was his job title itself. It's really heartless giving a name Ume(梅) after that disease, too. But Ume's original meaning is "a plum", one of the most beautiful, signature flower in winter time. so I love that Gyutaro remembered her real name at last..
Nick, this has been such a wild ride and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed this anime just as much as I had. You literally pushed me to watch Demon Slayer with your reactions and I had an amazing time. This anime is a true masterpiece. If you’d like anime recommendations, I’d say One Punch Man and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure would be your ideal cup of tea for amazing action :D To this reaction and many more, my dude!! Keep it up :)
"Ume" ("梅":Japanese plum flower) is, the name of a flower. It is a traditional and common (and if somewhat archaic) feminine name. However, he said, it comes from the name of the disease. The only disease name that uses this letter is "syphilis" ("梅毒"). Yes, a venereal disease. As a feminine name, it couldn't be more humiliating. How about "堕姫" ("Daki")? From the literal perspective, "堕姫” is a "Fallen princess". It cannot be used as a feminine name or as the name of any person. And the name probably comes from the homophone "唾棄". This means "something so filthy that you spit on it and throw it away". Perhaps it is an appropriate naming for a demon. But that is too humiliating for a female name. Japanese people can easily understand this kind of thing. Such a situation in their lives existed in Japan in the past, and some of it probably still exists today. Therefore, the Japanese have no choice but to sympathize with the circumstances of the siblings.
Thanks for the clarifications! I have learned Japanese but I'm not perfectly fluent and there are still a lot of kanjis I have to memorize! I knew "ume" meant plum but I didn't know that the kanji was used for syphilis as well. I guess it is a reference to the color of the rashes you get from the disease? Poor little girl :'(
Fun fact: Daki aka Ume stabbed the samurai’s eye out because he talked shit about Gyutaro. Man, their backstory is depressing, Demon Slayer knows how to play with my emotions
It is a sad story. The name "Ume" came from syphilis in Japanese. As you can see, Gyutaro has the charactaristics of congenital syphilis from his mother.
11:08 - That's Douma, former Upper Six, current Upper Two (he really is a big deal, but “the real f'ing deal”, like you said, is Upper One... and I'll let you wait 'til next season to find out who that is).
I think the reason why that is, its because we got their backstory through Gyutaro's eyes/experiences and he made the decision for Daki to be turned as well.
Sad fact: See the insults in the backstory? Sad sack? Coward? Good for nothing? He said the exact same words to Tanjiro. He still remembers these insults after all these years...
I cried when I first watched it as well, congratulations on finishing this anime Nicholas!! 🎉 Keep up the hard work, love your reactions :) I can see the effort you put in every video, time to watch just wanted to comment beforehand ✨
Fun Fact. The voice of that Demon at the end (not saying his name bc it will spoil you) the one that saved Ume and Gyutaro. Yeah he is also the Voice of Light Yagami
There are no words to describe this season, there are only emotions. We look forward to the third season, which will reveal the plot even deeper. It was great to see your reaction to this piece. The chemistry and parallels between the characters, the past and the future, great work, I am amazed to the core.
Everyone seems to forget what Nezuko’s blood demon art is and misinterpret it as a new ability. It’s called “Exploding Blood” which allows her to manipulate blood. Hence why she was able to burn Gyutaro’s BDA since it’s literally just blood, and how she was able to cure Uzui of his poison.
But poison isn't blood?? Did she burn the poison or did she burn tengens blood or is the poison made of blood ????? Or can she just cancel any demon art ?????
If there's anything Demon Slayer plays right even though it's used so much throughout the franchise, it's the way it shows backstories. It feels deliberate that it shows demon backstories only at the end when the demons die. Some people think it's cheating or not fair to do that, but I think it's really well-calculated, because most of us viewers/readers are so human in a way that we jump to hating a person for what they do at present especially for those who committed heinous crimes, but we never really ask what the person went through to get to that point. Many of us simply go with "I hate this character. S/he needs to go" without feeling any bit of remorse or thinking what that wish really meant for the story. We all find out after watching Demon Slayer how different we can feel for someone once we find out their true story. We go from hate to the point of forcing ourselves in believing that we don't want to know their story, to actually like the character if not, at least feel pity as the character justly deserves punishment as most but never hatred. What's amazing is that this is exactly what the author wanted at least, for us to feel that demons are not really to be hated but more to be pitied. I like it, because Demon Slayer forced me to face and reflect that part of me and made me aware of it. Everyone knew a backstory is coming as it always does, but it hits different once we realize things for ourselves on top of that cake.
Dude. I cried. And even when I rewatch it like 3 more times, I still cry the same scene. So congrats demon slayer on making me cry more than once on the same scene
The siblings were turned into Demons 100 years ago. That was the Upper 6 at the time, so you can assume in the last Century he either became fodder and got replaced/died or he Ranked Up. (Ik who he is lol dont spoil)
Ive gotta say, the demon that shows up, Douma, is one of the most intriguing demons and one of the coolest design wise. I found him intriguing in this episode, but after reading the manga he is Ive of my favourite characters
I really loved Gyuutaro and Daki/Ume they’re such amazing characters and the parallel between them and Tanjiro and Nezuko is so good it really shows how our main siblings could have been so different if not for their loving childhood and supportive people around them🥲
Ubuyashiki , the blind dude is actually a distant descendant of Muzan ,yes Muzans blood runs through his veins . So it’s basically the good and the bad side of the family battling each other.
11:10 the myth. The legend. The Myano Mamoru himself appeared in Demon Slayer... amazing voice actor. I couldn't imagine any better voice for this demon, honestly. Speaking of Mamoru.. watch Death Note next :) sub or dub.. watch BOTH at some point of your anime journey.
This is what I've seen in some comments to these episodes but the part when Gyuutaro and Ume are in the darkness, you can see that Gyuutaro is in demon form while Ume is shown as a normal human because it shows that he deliberately chose that path while Ume was transformed to be kept alive. It shows that he had committed sins and horrible acts that would bring him to Hell and Ume had every chance to go to the light cuz she didn't do anything bad during her human phase and be saved. This sibling dynamic was much more intense and endearing
Exactly. Those heavy, muffled breathes she took as she was crying and talking, you could feel the pain in the voice. She did justice for Ume and her tragic story.
Dude you know a character is written well when you feel sad for the bad guys that almost killed the entire main cast not one episode ago. Can't wait for the next season, it's going to be just as good. Honestly this series just keeps getting better.
Honestly, Daki annoyed me. But I am an older sister to three other siblings who whine and complain lol. So I am actually a big fan of Gyutaro. Even if he was a bit deranged. You understand why he is the way he is. And bottom line, he's just a good older brother who takes care of his sister first and foremost. Thanks for all the great reactions!
Season 3 is gonna be crazy, seeing the first breath user, two upper moons, two hashira, no zenitsu and inosuke, and the strongest character in the show, tanjiro’s swordsmith
And the award for the best brother in anime goes, quite possibly, to Gyutaro. You heard him, no matter how many lives he lives, he has promised to protect Ume with demonic ferocity, even if it means he loses his humanity
Nick thank you for this amazing week! If it wasn't for you my days would have been sooo much harder, this week specially, but watching your videos made me really happy🥰
Nick, there is a very short trailer of demon slayer season 3 on TH-cam. If you want, you can watch the trailer to see where season three is going to take place and what hashiras season three will focus on! Anyways, I loved your reactions, they make my day better every time you upload. Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
Man Nick, how are you this good at reacting to anime? You get things so quickly too. Season 2 was amazing, Daki and Gyutaro were such fun antagonists and their backstory just crushes your soul. Tengen too was just great. After Rengoku it was gonna be difficult to live up to him but Tengen is such a Chad, how can you not love him. Season 3 will come next year I think,I will definetly watch your reaction to that season too whenever it comes out. Keep up your good work,thanks for everything 🤗
They already said season 3 comes next year. As it won’t top s2 imo, it’s definitely good for progressing the story and nice character development. S4 is definitely the best arc
Daki and Gyutaro were basically an alternate version of Tanjiro and Nezuko if they met a demon instead of Giyuu. Next couple of seasons are gonna be so much better, can't wait.
I loved demon slayer week, it was a wild ride. That's why I watch nick, cuz he gives the reactions that i hope for when I show different shows or music to my friends. AOT WEEK WHEN
Thank you for all the beautiful Demon Slayer reactions! Just here to say watch whatever anime that you think you will enjoy the most next! The anime community can be extremely toxic and there are truly so many good shows worth watching so pick the one that interests you the most. Don't worry about what everyone else says because if you enjoy it that is all that matters. With that said, personally, I love My Hero Academia and would love to see you watch it at some point. As someone who struggles with mental health issues, this show saved my life in so many ways. Also Season 6 is coming out in October and (if animated correctly) will be the best season and will break the internet! Regardless, can't wait to see what you pick for the next few shows!
I got a few openings you should probably hear. These are by far my favorite, so itd be great to see you react to them. They are, Here by JUNNA (the ancient magus bride), Core Pride by UVERworld (Blue Exorcist), Kyoran Hey Kids by The Oral Cigarettes (Noragami), and Feed A by OldCodex (God Eater).
Did you know that you are famous in a channel that translates you reactions to Japanese, bro you are famous even on Japan brother! That's insane LoL, there is people who wait for the videos only to see you reaction there. It's weird that I am so proud of this man? Holy shit
I am just holding my tears right now. I bawled my eyes out when I first watched this episode, so I can't risk getting a headache. Demon Slayer always did the best character backstories where you'll truly feel connected to every characters. I'm glad I supported you from the beginning to the end😭 I just hope that the 3rd season will come soon😅 Anyways if you want to watch another anime I suggest you try one of these; •> Tokyo Revengers (Have a darker and violent themes) •> The Promised Neverland (please watch this!) •> Assassination Classroom (A comedy and slight(?) action anime series) •> The Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime •> Dr. Stone •> Black Clover •> Hunter X Hunter Some of these have darker content than others. I hope that if you picked one or two of these anime's, I hope you'll enjoy✌😊😊😊
I think it will take more than 2 years to get through whole story of Demon Slayer with animation. And there may possibly be the episode "not so good as episode1 and 2" later on. However, even so, don't quit seeing them to the end. I DO guarantee that the final episode of Demon Slayer can be the VERY BEST anime show. Sorry for my poor English. (from a middle-aged Japanese)
It's crazy when you look at the parallels between Tanjiro and Gyuutaro: Two caring big brothers who look after their little sisters and carry them on their backs. One raised with love, the other raised with hate. Both who were away when disaster struck. One who was saved by a Hashira, the other who was saved by a Demon.
Yes, it's true! The only difference between them is circumstance, really.
True, comes back to the debate of nature vs nurture. Like tanjiro said, if his circumstances were different it would be him being beheaded. Love this kind of writing like megamind.
And both were relatively poor and worked hard to make Monsey for their family
Even tanyiro pointed out that if he had turned with nezuko they would have ended up the same as the siblings.
There is one more thing: Tanjiro's sister suffered from demon, and Gyuutaro's suffered from people
This episode made me cry like a baby, Gyutaro hated everyone even himself but he always loved his sister and he literally raised her and did everything to provide to her a good life, she was his treasure and his reason to live.
hello other Leo :)
Ume has the choice to go to Heaven, that's why she has returned to her human form, because she never had the choice whether or not to become a demon in the first place. By the way, they don't really explain it in the anime but she stabbed the samurai for insulting her brother and possibly attempting to do some other stuff (considering she worked in a brothel). Gyuutaro however remains a Demon who is doomed to Hell, maybe he chose to remain a demon, so she chooses to go with him.
If you watched when Gyutaro and Ume/ Daki were walking through the flames Gyutaro also reverted back to his human form. I'm suprided most people and reactors don't notice.
@@deborahwhitney9427 REALLY??
@@alicear9862 Yeah, it's really hard to see, but u can see his hair turn from green/black to completely black, like it was in his human form
@@deborahwhitney9427 I know, I just wanted to give someone else the opportunity to mention that, so thank you
@@alicear9862 yup. Look closely. Pause the video. Gyutaro's clothes also changed.
When you consider Daki's behavior over the season, and especially when Gyuutaro is awake, you can tell that she's still a 13 year old child in personality, just twisted with the concepts of beauty and value and the desire to look mature and beautiful.
Now it makes sense
You know, your something of a genius yourself
That feeling when you hear a demon's backstory and it makes you feel terrible for them
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
Wait how the hell do you no longer have the jelal profile moustach Guy?
That's treason then
I love Demon Slayer animation and music but... Bro, I really hate how this manga and anime tries to make you feel bad for the demons, for real lmao
Like, you hated it and hoped for Tanjiro to fucking kill them, and even himself felt it. Only to end like "aww poor thing, they killed a fuckton of people but they aren't bad :("... That's such lazy writting...
@@laiofurious6433 I think that's a part of the message, where even sometimes the worst of people have a reason to be where they are. Because Demon Slayer isn't really trying to excuse these demons' behaviours, but tries to show how strength in kindness can really change a person for the better. Bojack Horseman goes into this idea as well and executes it near perfectly.
“no matter how many times im reborn, i will always be your sister”- ume to gyutaro
i love this line
Gyutaro and Daki's backstory just hits different if you have siblings, i bawled my eyes out
Exactly. Same happened to me too... It was really an amazing episode.
Exactly man that hit hard
Same. It hits me being the older sibling who protects my younger too.
@@RoKer13 Same, especially being the older brother who had an abusive step father and having to protect my sister, brought back some memories
DS is so good fleshing out family dynamics.
For me Daki and her brother's Background are one of the most saddest background stories I ever seen in an Anime, not only in Demon Slayer.. which in the show its THE Most Saddest backstory I ever heard.
Season 2 Was Nothing less then Absolute Amazing, From start to finish. even the part where they told the story of the Muzan train again even with that it was still just AMAZING.
I can't wait for season 3 to come out. And see what will happen.
Amazing reaction, its Ok if you cry at the backstory. I did too, I cried multiple times on that as I seen that backstory multiple times now, and its intensely sad. Especially when Umi/Daki jumps up on her brother's back and cries, as you see in his brothers face how he feels SOO Horrible for saying those things to her and made her cry. Then She brings up the promise.. and it just shatters the heart.. Like Oh my god.. that part broke me first time I saw it. I had to take like an 5-10min break after seeing that to clean up and compose myself. Then the ending started and I was just overly Happy.
Fun fact:According to the author, the reason why Ume thrusted that samurai's eye is that he insulted Gyutaro, so she got really mad... Don't know if Gyutaro knew it because Demons usually forget almost all the memories they had when they were humans. The mere fact that Gyutaro and Daki never forgot that they are syblings and helped out each other for over 100 years...makes me wanna cry.
Omg I didn't know that :0
I thought part of it was because he got handsy while he insulted Gyutaro
@@CosmicNova1000 I thought so too. There are two pillows in the scene...
Yeah and it had to do with Gyutaro being ugly. For someone who detests all things ugly, Ume loved her brother. And for someone who hated all things beautiful, Gyutaro loved his sister.
UM1&2 also seem to have kept almost all their memories
Imagine him seeing Akaza’s backstory lol😂
He gonna cry rivers lmfao
He's going to make those rivers into lakes when he does 😂
man I'm not even the biggest fan of demon slayer but I've gone back to read Akaza's fight and backstory several times its so good
My most fav demon, Akaza. Dude got morals even tho he is a demon
Akaza's backstory ain't shit compared to this backstory. Even Rui's backstory is more tragic than Akaza. Btw, why do u jackasses always gotta hype shit up instead of letting him get the full experience? You're like foaming at the mouth just to fill on spoil shit and tell the story yourself
Everyone hates Akaza because he killed everyone's favourate but in the end he will be everyone's favourate ... I got chills through my throata fter reading Akaza's backstory from the manga mannn I was about to cry .. I wonder what will happen when its animated ...Believe me I am really a man with strong heart but for the forst time I almost cried reading something I ve never cried before watching a emotional movie....
I love the demon backstories. They're not there to necessarily make you forgive the demons, but to make you understand that often times humans are the _true_ monsters that push others to become demons. It's almost as if Muzan senses and specifically picks 'broken' people so that he can manipulate and turn them into hateful creatures.

While many people react to Daki's crying voice by calling it noisy, Nicholas is really the best, praising it as wonderful.
Miyuki Sawashiro is able to play the difference between her voice when she was courtesan and that voice that became a little younger when her brother came out, and it is really wonderful.
However, people from overseas who are doing the reactions often say that she is "noisy," and I always thought that she is not.
Thanks for the compliment on Miyuki Sawashiro's performance!
Japanese voice actors are truly amazing.👏👏👏
堕姫の泣き声をうるさいと言ってリアクションする人が多い中、素晴らしいと褒めてくれるニコラスさんは本当に最高。
遊女の時の声と、お兄ちゃんが出て来て少し幼くなったあの声の違いを、沢城みゆきさんは演じ分けていて、それが本当に素晴らしいんです。
でも、リアクションをしている海外の方は「うるさい！」と良く言っていて、そうじゃないんだよ！！とずっと思っていました。
沢城みゆきさんの演技を褒めてくれてありがとう！
日本の声優さんは、本当にすごいです！
I think Zenitsu and Inosuke are much noisier.
Daki's voice is so competent to be casted by an experienced voice actress like Sawashiro-san.
I think most call her noisy because she's a demon who killed many but cries like everything is unfair to her, rathen than her vocie itself being noisy. After all she has an amazing range. But i get what you mean.
I actually cried because the voice actress really did an awesome job conveying that immature side of Daki and her crying in the end while arguing with his brother is so sad. At the end of the day they only had each other whether they were humans or demons
I find it funny how so many people misunderstand Nezuko's ability lol. From the very start it always served the same purpose; exploding blood that combusts and only affects demons. We saw her burn Rui's blood webs, we saw her burn Enmu's magic rope while literally setting the Demon Slayers on fire during Mugen Train, and we saw her burn Daki and trigger her PTSD from her human memories of being roasted alive. Nezuko's ability negates other demon abilities with special flames, and here she is simply burning Gyuutaro's demon art poison blood out of their bodies. But I guess it's possible that it can at least cauterize human wounds., who knows.
Wonder if there is a demon named satan in the show.😅
For the poison she just burned the poison
@@turbulencegaming7518 nope
so if the poison was blood demon art, would they have survived if gyutaro and daki died anyway?
@@turbulencegaming7518 no, because it's a huge misunderstanding about the meaning of "oni". it's essentialy a kind of ogre
but "demon" works better
i still cry every time i see little gyutaro and ume huddled together inside the hay stack and swinging back and forth
“I don’t want to die, Brother” that line tore me as an older brother myself
Hurts
Me too😪
I just love that throughout the series, Tanjiro carried Nezuko on his back, but now Nezuko gets to carry Tanjiro on her back! So cute!
But yes, without a doubt this season majorly topped season 1. The first season we had a lot of growth to do, learning about the characters and a lot of set up, with some of course amazing fights and stories. But this one, aside from Mugen Train being an arc by itself, just looking at this as its own arc, this is the best one so far. They didn't waste much time dealing with bullshit, no filler, just pure getting down to business. And once it did, it was FIRE! Speaking of, man once you knew about what happened to Daki, you remember back when Nezuko went beast mode on her and burned her up, there was a line from Daki that was like a call back to when she was burned up in life, so its no wonder why she hates to be burned, you know? Its so, so good!!
I'm glad we got to watch this along with you Nick. There couldn't have been a better welcome to this world of anime. What anime are you thinking of watching next? You should watch Fire Force! Or if you want some longer series, watch My Hero Acadamia.
You are forgetting overlord I that is getting a new season and as I look the trailers.It is f*cking fire
Now that I’m all caught up on Demon Slayer, my main focus will be finishing AOT and JJK. Might add another show into the mix ;)
As far as Demon Slayer goes.. wow, just wow. Might make a video talking about my overall thoughts about the first 2 seasons. If that sounds good, let me know! I have so much to say about this show and I feel like jerking off Ufotable a bit.
Oh, and in the outro, I said season 2 was “inferior” .. I meant superior. I failed school yall, forgive me 😂😂😂
hey nick now that you're done with demon slayer I think you should give black clover a chance and watch its openings they're all bangers man I'm sure you'd love it
Watch the trailer of Season 3💥
keep up the amazing reactions
If you wanna add a new anime Aldnoah Zero is a solid choice. Be a good mecha anime to watch.
Tengen Uzui without a hand,Lost 1 eye..Still going head to head with Gyotaro 💥💥..This guy is the example of Flasy🔥🔥🔥
Bruh not gonna lie i was just THIS CLOSE to crying throughout the episode but when they showed gyuutaro's backstory i just lost i was crying for 10 straight minutes.....
Man i just loved the parallel between tanjiro and gyuutaro
What really got me was that Daki was willing to go into the fire for her brother even though she was scared of fire.
I didn't think about that before, but that makes the scene even more emotional
Omg I forgot 😭😭
Rewatching the show twice and observing every detail carefully hits harder emotionally and *physically*
One of the saddest backstories in all anime history. You can't not hate them, but you can understand their situation because of everything they've been through.
Not the saddest
You will see it on attack on titan
@@kingofmoney6162 Key word: One
@@trulyrebekha We both seem to love DS...do you have Instagram? If yes then give it to me we can talk there..
Guts called, he said he wants a word with you in person.
@@vishwapsengar7340 I don't have Instagram sorry.
This last episode really made me tear up, the first time I saw it and now too... The story of Daki and Gyutaro is just so... I don't even have the words
This backstory truly shows that demons aren’t always the monsters humans can often be true monsters.
I find "humans are the true monsters" to be gigacringe because it's become so common in fiction that it's become a trope. Basically every anime and western zombie franchise where there are monstrous humanoids turns into a story where the humans can be argued to be an even worse threat than the zombies or the demons or in the case of Demon Slayer you can say humans even created the problem in the first place. The Walking Dead focused on human conflict, fantasy anime that are currently running have the protagonist saving humanoid races from human captors and slavers, hell I bet someone said "titans were never the enemy, it was always humans who were the real monsters!" about Attack on Titan at some point too. It's the "humans are the real virus, nature is healing" shit. It's really nothing special, you know? It tends to have a very self-flagellating tone to it.
Daki and Gyutaro's story is beautiful because the writer is able to help you sympathize with ruthless and sadistic killing machines and understand them and their choices, not because it's humans that caused the story in the first place.
@@timeforamazingchest5271 well with demon slayers I wouldn't say the point is that humans are a problem, because some demons have very lackluster backstories like the drum demon who just had his work insulted. the point is moreso that muzan creates these monsters out of normal, suffering people.
then what is a true monster? the one who doesnt have a backstory?
@@KingMufasa_8 Yes, I fully agree with you. Focusing entirely on humans and whether or not they are the worst is completely besides the point and it's very over-used as a twist in modern franchises. It's much more interesting to try and humanize the demons than it is to demonize the humans.
Now we will be waiting for season 3 together...had so much fun watching demon slayer reactions 😁
Love your reactions Nick!
Demon Slayer Season 2 was an epic emotional rollercoaster especially after Mugen Train, I hope Tengen and his wives all have a nice retirement after this because this arc was just incredible to go along with
"Thats why you help people, otherwise they turn into demons" (Thats a really powerful quote I think) I can really relate to this in a few ways........Its always about people and will always be 🔥❤️🙏
Small thing about Nezuko's healing powers. The way her flames work (as several demons stated) is that they burn demon "matter" only, so nothing else gets damaged by them, Since Blood Demon Arts come, well, from a demons' blood, she can literally burn away Gyutaro's poison from inside a body without damaging it in any way. It's pretty cool AND well explained!
In what episode was it explained?
@@RamianP probably on the manga
@@RamianP It's not a stated sentence, you have to put the pieces together.
Rui was the first one to notice that his body and his strings were the only things Nezuko damaged and was wondering how. The blood demon arts part is basically observing. Rui, Tamayo, Gyutaro, it was clearly shown every one of them used blood as a conduit for their technique (I guess Daki used her flesh, but same thing).
@@RamianP When daki gets burned by Nezuko flames she states that her flames burn demon matter
I'm from Germany but I like your reaction so much they are so emotional I like it :)
For Daki to receive her true power during the fight, she got one third eye in her forehead, an eye she got from her brother.
The samurai murdered her over one eyeball, whereas Gyutaro would happily give up one eye for her.
This makes me more sad
It really makes me wanna cry, imagining how Gyutaro regretted that he was away when Ume/Daki was burnt alive. He never left his sister after turning into a demon. Sleeping inside her and wake up when she's attacked... and when she really needed help he would give his eye litellary on her. Nobody taught how to love to Gyutaro, but he really loved his little sister
Gyutaro would give away his humanity for her, not just an eye. Best brother in anime right there
"I will always value emotion, more than action"
DAMN! Demon Slayer is one of the those anime that has a God Tier animation in terms of fight scenes, and a God tier backstory and emotional stories of protagonists. As much as we all love the animation and fight scene from last episode, the back story of upper demons 6 were really written well, wholeheartedly! Don't Worry Nic, you're not the only one who shed tears several times in this episode...
PS. Because of these reaction series, I must say, you earned a hard fan all the way from the Philippines. See you on season 3
Daki is written in Chinese characters as "堕姫''
The word "堕姫(daki)" means "fallen princess".
It means terrible. That's why Gyutaro didn't call her Daki.
Their mother's disease is called syphilis.
It is called "梅毒(Baidoku)(syphilis)" in Chinese characters.
And her name, Ume, when written in Chinese characters, becomes "梅(ume)''
That's why she was named after her mother's disease.
Both Gyutaro's crooked teeth and the bruises on his body are due to the transfer of his mother's syphilis.
Also, Ume stabbed the samurai in the eye with a hairpin because he insulted her about Gyutaro.
I'm sorry.
I'm a Japanese born and raised in Japan, so I'm not good at English.
Kanji and Chinese characters are the same.
its not chinese character its kanji
You understand well ………
……… Respect !!
kanji
👍️
You can read that in both chinese and japanese, depending if it's hanzi or kanji, but for chinese speakers they just read it out as hanzi, and the meaning is basically identical.
Damn thanks for sharing
I love how this show lowkey tells us that brothers will always care for sisters no matter what form they're in or how demonic they seem 😂
That backstory hits right in the feels. People say men dont cry and i say show them some anime and we'll see. i cry every time i see this episode. Well Nicholas you caught up with your first anime, now you will experience the pain of waiting undetermine amount of time for a new season to arrive. Now the real battle begins lol Tatakae!!
Man has to win And tears are the defeat of the heart This is a beautiful defeat
Tatakaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
@@ぎるしゅん Imagine him watching anohana or your lie in April 😂
I've cried so hard in this episode! That was really one of the best back storys for this special sibling demon team! I love how he always protected Ume and even in death he wanted her to be save and reborn but she chose hell to stay on his side forever.
I'm also sorry for her to be in the room with that samurai. Even in Yoshiwara entertainment district where girls were treated as commodities and trained as sex workers, usually they don't force to do it on girls younger than 17years old or so. But Ume was made to "entertain" the samurai at age 13, maybe because the "house" she belonged to was the worst kind.
Gyutaro and Ume's mother caught syphilis（梅毒）and was made to work for the worst class house, where prostitutes who got sick were sent to, Gyutaro and Ume were born and raised there. They didn't give him a name so his name was his job title itself. It's really heartless giving a name Ume(梅) after that disease, too. But Ume's original meaning is "a plum", one of the most beautiful, signature flower in winter time. so I love that Gyutaro remembered her real name at last..
"i dont care on crying acreaming or losing my mind"
famous last words
my man just cried, suffered, screamed and rejoiced just to get to this moment
Nice reaction, we will have to wait for the next arc
I am a big brother with a little sister I was sooo emotionally struck by this ep I almost cried
Nick, this has been such a wild ride and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed this anime just as much as I had. You literally pushed me to watch Demon Slayer with your reactions and I had an amazing time.
This anime is a true masterpiece. If you’d like anime recommendations, I’d say One Punch Man and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure would be your ideal cup of tea for amazing action :D To this reaction and many more, my dude!! Keep it up :)
If he watches Jojo now he’ll catch up to the rest of the 6th season
been waiting him to react to one punch man. the humor of that anime i want to saw his reaction :)
@@زيوسايمينيم bro oppai hoodie
One punch man is really like nick 😂
He better watch death note and ds s3 trailer after this.
Nicholas: I am not planing on crying, screaming or losing my mind.
Gyutaro and Daki backstory: ArE YoU SuRe AbOuT ThAt?
"Ume" ("梅":Japanese plum flower) is, the name of a flower. It is a traditional and common (and if somewhat archaic) feminine name.
However, he said, it comes from the name of the disease. The only disease name that uses this letter is "syphilis" ("梅毒"). Yes, a venereal disease. As a feminine name, it couldn't be more humiliating.
How about "堕姫" ("Daki")? From the literal perspective, "堕姫” is a "Fallen princess". It cannot be used as a feminine name or as the name of any person.
And the name probably comes from the homophone "唾棄". This means "something so filthy that you spit on it and throw it away". Perhaps it is an appropriate naming for a demon. But that is too humiliating for a female name.
Japanese people can easily understand this kind of thing.
Such a situation in their lives existed in Japan in the past, and some of it probably still exists today.
Therefore, the Japanese have no choice but to sympathize with the circumstances of the siblings.
Thanks for the clarifications!
I have learned Japanese but I'm not perfectly fluent and there are still a lot of kanjis I have to memorize!
I knew "ume" meant plum but I didn't know that the kanji was used for syphilis as well. I guess it is a reference to the color of the rashes you get from the disease?
Poor little girl :'(
Finally the finale! Till the next season
Fun fact: Daki aka Ume stabbed the samurai’s eye out because he talked shit about Gyutaro. Man, their backstory is depressing, Demon Slayer knows how to play with my emotions
I always just kind of assumed it was a self-defense from attempted rape 🙃
Really? I read the manga but I don't remember this being explained. If that's true then that's an interesting fact!
@@payton9665
It is an inside story that is written only in the setting document collection sold in Japan.
@@キヨ-o3l Oh okay
10:03 *smiles*
"Oh that felt so good"
It sure did👏
It is a sad story. The name "Ume" came from syphilis in Japanese. As you can see, Gyutaro has the charactaristics of congenital syphilis from his mother.
11:08 - That's Douma, former Upper Six, current Upper Two (he really is a big deal, but “the real f'ing deal”, like you said, is Upper One... and I'll let you wait 'til next season to find out who that is).
It's sad that they didn't emphasize why Daki/Ume stabbed the Samurai's eye tho. The Samurai was insulting her brother that's why she got violent.
I think the reason why that is, its because we got their backstory through Gyutaro's eyes/experiences and he made the decision for Daki to be turned as well.
Nick you must watch Death Note and Parasite you won't regret , keep going man your reactions are crazy , tatakae !!!!
9owa
I am so excited for the 3rd season, love your reactions btw!
In Japan, it is believed that if you atone for your sins in hell, you will be reborn. So they're okay.
Sad fact: See the insults in the backstory? Sad sack? Coward? Good for nothing?
He said the exact same words to Tanjiro. He still remembers these insults after all these years...
I just binged 90% of all your Demon Slayer reactions in one sitting, worth it.
I cried when I first watched it as well, congratulations on finishing this anime Nicholas!! 🎉
Keep up the hard work, love your reactions :) I can see the effort you put in every video, time to watch just wanted to comment beforehand ✨
Fun Fact. The voice of that Demon at the end (not saying his name bc it will spoil you) the one that saved Ume and Gyutaro.
Yeah he is also the Voice of Light Yagami
There are no words to describe this season, there are only emotions. We look forward to the third season, which will reveal the plot even deeper. It was great to see your reaction to this piece. The chemistry and parallels between the characters, the past and the future, great work, I am amazed to the core.
bro gonna cry so hard when Akaza's backstory will be animated
I loved the scene where gyuutaro carries daki into hell sparing her from the fire taking it all on himself as the older brother
5:01 I like how Nick is just stroking Nezukos hair
Everyone seems to forget what Nezuko’s blood demon art is and misinterpret it as a new ability. It’s called “Exploding Blood” which allows her to manipulate blood. Hence why she was able to burn Gyutaro’s BDA since it’s literally just blood, and how she was able to cure Uzui of his poison.
She can burn away Blood demon arts, her fire is anti-demon.
@@nothugo9207 because she's the chosen one.
@@sleepwalker28 ah yes everyone is the chosen one
Yup, everyone misinterprets it as a new ability to heal
But poison isn't blood?? Did she burn the poison or did she burn tengens blood or is the poison made of blood ????? Or can she just cancel any demon art ?????
0:39 EXACTLy how we all felt.
If there's anything Demon Slayer plays right even though it's used so much throughout the franchise, it's the way it shows backstories. It feels deliberate that it shows demon backstories only at the end when the demons die. Some people think it's cheating or not fair to do that, but I think it's really well-calculated, because most of us viewers/readers are so human in a way that we jump to hating a person for what they do at present especially for those who committed heinous crimes, but we never really ask what the person went through to get to that point. Many of us simply go with "I hate this character. S/he needs to go" without feeling any bit of remorse or thinking what that wish really meant for the story. We all find out after watching Demon Slayer how different we can feel for someone once we find out their true story. We go from hate to the point of forcing ourselves in believing that we don't want to know their story, to actually like the character if not, at least feel pity as the character justly deserves punishment as most but never hatred. What's amazing is that this is exactly what the author wanted at least, for us to feel that demons are not really to be hated but more to be pitied. I like it, because Demon Slayer forced me to face and reflect that part of me and made me aware of it. Everyone knew a backstory is coming as it always does, but it hits different once we realize things for ourselves on top of that cake.
Dude. I cried. And even when I rewatch it like 3 more times, I still cry the same scene. So congrats demon slayer on making me cry more than once on the same scene
I CRIED SO MANY TIMES WITH THIS EPISODE
"one measly eyeball" really puts into perspective how much people take for granted.
The siblings were turned into Demons 100 years ago. That was the Upper 6 at the time, so you can assume in the last Century he either became fodder and got replaced/died or he Ranked Up.
(Ik who he is lol dont spoil)
Ive gotta say, the demon that shows up, Douma, is one of the most intriguing demons and one of the coolest design wise. I found him intriguing in this episode, but after reading the manga he is Ive of my favourite characters
I really loved Gyuutaro and Daki/Ume they’re such amazing characters and the parallel between them and Tanjiro and Nezuko is so good it really shows how our main siblings could have been so different if not for their loving childhood and supportive people around them🥲
Ubuyashiki , the blind dude is actually a distant descendant of Muzan ,yes Muzans blood runs through his veins . So it’s basically the good and the bad side of the family battling each other.
11:10 the myth. The legend. The Myano Mamoru himself appeared in Demon Slayer...
amazing voice actor. I couldn't imagine any better voice for this demon, honestly.
Speaking of Mamoru.. watch Death Note next :) sub or dub.. watch BOTH at some point of your anime journey.
this ^^^^
"I will always value emotion over action", then you have to watch Clannad. Is a lot of fun and laughs, so emotional
This is what I've seen in some comments to these episodes but the part when Gyuutaro and Ume are in the darkness, you can see that Gyuutaro is in demon form while Ume is shown as a normal human because it shows that he deliberately chose that path while Ume was transformed to be kept alive. It shows that he had committed sins and horrible acts that would bring him to Hell and Ume had every chance to go to the light cuz she didn't do anything bad during her human phase and be saved. This sibling dynamic was much more intense and endearing
Me and my older brother are a year apart and we both cried at this backstory. It’s so heartbreaking and it does hit different when you have siblings
I cried so much watching this. The voice actress of Daki is just fking incredible.
That's Miyuki Sawashiro for you. She's an absolute goddess
@@D4rkn3ss2000 oh I totally agree! Havent heard a female voice actor putting so much emotions into it before, at least Ive never truly noticed it.
Exactly. Those heavy, muffled breathes she took as she was crying and talking, you could feel the pain in the voice. She did justice for Ume and her tragic story.
Dude you know a character is written well when you feel sad for the bad guys that almost killed the entire main cast not one episode ago. Can't wait for the next season, it's going to be just as good. Honestly this series just keeps getting better.
Honestly, Daki annoyed me. But I am an older sister to three other siblings who whine and complain lol. So I am actually a big fan of Gyutaro. Even if he was a bit deranged. You understand why he is the way he is. And bottom line, he's just a good older brother who takes care of his sister first and foremost.
Thanks for all the great reactions!
Season 3 is gonna be crazy, seeing the first breath user, two upper moons, two hashira, no zenitsu and inosuke, and the strongest character in the show, tanjiro’s swordsmith
I’m all caught up..
*pain*
Ly bro
And the award for the best brother in anime goes, quite possibly, to Gyutaro. You heard him, no matter how many lives he lives, he has promised to protect Ume with demonic ferocity, even if it means he loses his humanity
Nick thank you for this amazing week! If it wasn't for you my days would have been sooo much harder, this week specially, but watching your videos made me really happy🥰
NICHOLAS ON TUESDAY:
ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE
Nick, there is a very short trailer of demon slayer season 3 on TH-cam. If you want, you can watch the trailer to see where season three is going to take place and what hashiras season three will focus on! Anyways, I loved your reactions, they make my day better every time you upload. Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
Nick: This is gonna be the first anime that I'm fully caught up to!
Attack on Titan: **Am I a Joke to You?**
Man Nick, how are you this good at reacting to anime?
You get things so quickly too.
Season 2 was amazing, Daki and Gyutaro were such fun antagonists and their backstory just crushes your soul.
Tengen too was just great.
After Rengoku it was gonna be difficult to live up to him but Tengen is such a Chad, how can you not love him.
Season 3 will come next year I think,I will definetly watch your reaction to that season too whenever it comes out.
Keep up your good work,thanks for everything 🤗
They already said season 3 comes next year. As it won’t top s2 imo, it’s definitely good for progressing the story and nice character development. S4 is definitely the best arc

Daki and Gyutaro were basically an alternate version of Tanjiro and Nezuko if they met a demon instead of Giyuu. Next couple of seasons are gonna be so much better, can't wait.
as a big sister, this episode hit HARD
I loved demon slayer week, it was a wild ride. That's why I watch nick, cuz he gives the reactions that i hope for when I show different shows or music to my friends.
AOT WEEK WHEN
Congrats on catching up and looking forward to watching your anime journey going forward.
Thank you for all the beautiful Demon Slayer reactions! Just here to say watch whatever anime that you think you will enjoy the most next! The anime community can be extremely toxic and there are truly so many good shows worth watching so pick the one that interests you the most. Don't worry about what everyone else says because if you enjoy it that is all that matters.
With that said, personally, I love My Hero Academia and would love to see you watch it at some point. As someone who struggles with mental health issues, this show saved my life in so many ways. Also Season 6 is coming out in October and (if animated correctly) will be the best season and will break the internet!
Regardless, can't wait to see what you pick for the next few shows!
When you realized daki was crying at the end because she was scared of fire at the end she burnt to death before
If Nicholas considers their backstory as sad then Akaza's backstory will hit him the most....
Can't wait to see what's next for Nick's next anime journey
Such a great season. You should definitely react to the season 3 trailer if you haven’t already!
Season 3 isn't even out
11:08 "who is that?!"
Literally on the screen, in all caps: UPPER SIX
I got a few openings you should probably hear. These are by far my favorite, so itd be great to see you react to them. They are, Here by JUNNA (the ancient magus bride), Core Pride by UVERworld (Blue Exorcist), Kyoran Hey Kids by The Oral Cigarettes (Noragami), and Feed A by OldCodex (God Eater).
Did you know that you are famous in a channel that translates you reactions to Japanese, bro you are famous even on Japan brother! That's insane LoL, there is people who wait for the videos only to see you reaction there. It's weird that I am so proud of this man? Holy shit
oh damn thats dope

@@LEVl.K9 same, but also proud of him
I am just holding my tears right now. I bawled my eyes out when I first watched this episode, so I can't risk getting a headache. Demon Slayer always did the best character backstories where you'll truly feel connected to every characters. I'm glad I supported you from the beginning to the end😭
I just hope that the 3rd season will come soon😅 Anyways if you want to watch another anime I suggest you try one of these;
•> Tokyo Revengers (Have a darker and violent themes)
•> The Promised Neverland (please watch this!)
•> Assassination Classroom (A comedy and slight(?) action anime series)
•> The Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
•> Dr. Stone
•> Black Clover
•> Hunter X Hunter
Some of these have darker content than others. I hope that if you picked one or two of these anime's, I hope you'll enjoy✌😊😊😊
My congratulations! We grown one more anime obsessed man, who are hugging mini Nezuko. You are the best bro)
I think it will take more than 2 years to get through whole story of Demon Slayer with animation. And there may possibly be
the episode "not so good as episode1 and 2" later on. However, even so, don't quit seeing them to the end.
I DO guarantee that the final episode of Demon Slayer can be the VERY BEST anime show. Sorry for my poor English.
