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

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.

Important fact (for you specifically): Tanjuro (Tanjiro's dad) had his scar since birth. And his name is not Sumiyoshi.

I love how Kenny and Montana were GENUINELY concerned Inosuke was dead before they saw him on the ceiling and laughed. 🤣

The guy you called Bakugo? He has the same Japanese voice actor as Bakugo so you're absolutely justified 🤣

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. 😅

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.

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.

Haganezuka's letter was basically what you would imagine. "I have no sword for you. Go to hell. F you. F you. F you."

Fun fact, Genya is voiced by the same voice actor as Bakugo, named Nobuhiko Okamoto 信彦 岡本

Interesting thing about the upper moon meeting is that it makes Akaza seem like the most human out all the upper moons

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

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.

The fact no one wants to be around Douma by themselves XD

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!

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

"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 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

Genya’s Sub VA is bakugo’s VA as well so it fits.

5:50 Upper Moon 5 Gyokko 6:38 Upper Moon 4 Hantengu 7:42 Upper Moon 2 Douma 18:39 Upper Moon 1 Kokushibo

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. 😅

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 !

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.

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.

At 23:19 That was not a black blade, it was just the sheath

Funny enough, Bakugo has the same sub va as Genya.

Tanjiro's Dad was born with a scar therefore "Tsumiyoshi" idk the spelling is an "ancestor" of Tanjiro's not directly his dad

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.

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.

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

No one in this episode that looks like Tanjiro is his dad

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.

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.

Omg, this is probably my favorite episode in the whole show.

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

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

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.

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'm just glad that your initial reaction to Upper Rank 1 is not that he's Tanjiro's dad.

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.

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 KZfaq 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!

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

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 blood nose thing is actually more specific to sexy thoughts rather than general attraction but close enough :D

You guys outstand so much! I love how much attention you pay to the anime. Not like all the other reaction channels

Funny thing is Genya and Bakugo actually share a voice actor in the Japanese sub. Comparing them is really fair lol

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.

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!

I love the confusion of them, when they see yorichi

Being able to see this in theaters was one of my biggest highlights of the year for me 😁

It's not a black sword it was the whatever the right name is that covers the blade💀

Bakugo and Genya have the same japanese voice actor. It was funny you said that.😂

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!!!!

Seeing this in theaters in March was one of the best moments of my year 😁

Not me absolutely POUTING when tanjiro got a nosebleed from mitsuri 😂😂 I LIKE KANAO A LOT :)

I'm fucking shaking waiting for this. This episode is so good.

32:23 The cat: "Phew! I'm so glad he's fine. I thought he'd died..."

Genya and Bakugou are voiced by the same Japanese VA so you're not far off hahaha

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.)

37:21 You just wanted to watch it twice. Don't act clever here 😂

Chilling here in bed with my douma plushie so happy that they are at my fav episode

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

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.

Can't wait for this one! Kokushibo (KING), Douma, and Mitsuri stole this ep!

"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!

I'd love to see the little Nurses in a live action Demon Slayer movie(s).

coming back to binging the whole reaction to kny from you guys and knowing what i know as a half manga reader i realize how dumb people are critisizing that anime only reactors are making "dumb theories" when its reasonable knowing what they know. they just me all of these people, first time meeting kokushibo. ofc they dont immediately get "oh yeah this person did this this and this, and did this with this person to become this." like ofc they dont know. its like meeting a person for the first time and saying "this guy must have had badminton training as a kid and had extra lessons on math classes cuz they had failed math classes in second grade". now what theory they had in this episode are really good for just seeing a few scenes from the dream. i wont name the theory im referring to but for them not knowing who the upper 1 is, stating a theory that is a few word away from the truth is really nice for a reactor

The nose bleeding trope is basically “blood rushing to your head” type biz

28:16 - It think it said “Normal Style: Abdominal Breathing” 😂

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

When you wanted to know who is Demon or it was, I will tell you it was nakime I know the name sounds kind of weird, but it’s a upper rank too I think.

Fun fact - japanis voice actor of Genya Shinazugawa is the same as Bakugo from My hero Academia.

That's funny, I never even considered that they were trying to shield Nezuko in case the sun rose. That's pretty good observation.

Japanese dubbing for muichiros dad is by sasuke, for some hentengu demon is orochimaru and for genya is bakugo

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.

guys , i really enjoy watching you theorize stuff , they are amazing ! but i think the most important detail that you keep forgetting about is that all those demons are at least 100 years old , and so are all the flashbacks that are shown 😅 if you keep that in mind , lots of things would be clear

This isn’t tanjiros dad but an ancestor. Notice how neither the father nor the little boy has a scar on them where as his father and tanjiro both were born with this scar

Kokoshibo is youichis brother thats why they both look alike and have the same hair and scars and kokoshibo used to be a slayer thats why he has a sword and youichi is the other brother with the earrings

Another thing to note is that tanjiros dad wears a orange coat with black squares. This man with the earrings is wearing solid red

The Upper Moons meeting was the best part of the episode.

Akaza has the most humanity remaining

Not sure if they were showing the right order of numbers for you but Douma is Upper Moon 2 not 1. Kokushibo is Upper Moon 1.

That's interesting that you bringed up Bakugo, since in Japanese version they share same voice actor.

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.

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.

I think the man who look like tanjiro with the baby in tanjiro dream is the great grandfather or someone like his ancestor Because their family name is kamado right? So maybe... Tanjiro is kamado tanjiro Father is kamado tanjuro or something (i believe tanjiro said he is the son of... and... when haganezuka said that he is the child of brightness in chapter 5 i think?) And the great gandfather/ ancestor is kamado sumiyoshi. And so far i think the upper 1 and the guy in the dream are different people. The hair style, the sword and the way they carry themselves like so different from each other. But of course this is just my opinion😅. Kind of confused but this made want to continue watching this masterpiece.

In Japanese Genya is actually voiced by the same VA as Bakugo so your comparison is very astute

Genya has the same English voice actor as Hunter from the owl house btw ^^

I don't know if anyone told you but the clap and "thanks for the meal" is not exactly a prayer, but a polite thing to say before eating. In French we say "bon appétit" before eating (wishing everyone a nice meal, basically). In Japanese the word is 頂きます ("itadakimasu") and it's to be said before eating (unless you're the one that made the meal). It literaly means "I am receiving this" if I remember it right, but it more or less means "thank you for the meal" (hence why you're not supposed to say it if you made the meal, unlike the French "bon appétit" that everyone is supposed to say).

The instrument she playes is called, Biwa.

@lettsReact, just a correction, the flashback that tanjiro have when he wake up from his coma, is not from his dad. That memorie is at least 300 years old from old generations

actually..in Japanese..Bakugo's VA does Genya's VA too

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

Is wrong I picture Madara's voice on Upper one's body when I read the manga?

I swear to god no one gets as confuse waching a show as reactors maybe it is because they watch many shows at once that they can't seem to remember the details of non.

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
