>Inosuke gets saved in last moment as his head is about to burst >Tanjiro and Nezuko asspulls saving them both >Zenitsu is about to die from the poison but obviously he gets saved Damn everything is so convinient. Every character gets saved at the brink of death. Is this the peak of Japanese writing?
I actually kinda like the anime, has cool fights and great animation but come on
yellow cunt should have died, quality would skyrocket
Jacob Johnson
Tomioka should have more screentime
Jaxon Jones
I think it was more an emotional reasoning behind it. Basically just looked to look cool and thats it. I am fine with it.
Adam Adams
thats the author's husbando
Ian Lewis
It’s so the 3 realize how outmatches they are. They pursue training next.
Benjamin Wilson
I hope he becomes bearable later on When Inosuke and Zenitsu got saved i didnt mind it that much. When Tanjiro had his >O MY FIRE DANCE moment i smirked IRL. When Nezuko's dead mother wake her up for her to save Tanjiro i legit laughed out loud and it ruined the moment for me. Dont really care what the intention was if the episode felt like one giant asspull.
Funnily enough, after every "fighting" arc there is a training arc afterwards in the manga. They are actually training almost half the time in the manga
Evan Ortiz
But nobody likes Tomioka
Grayson Scott
that's pretty much every fight from now on, so hold tight. that can easily be assumed, they are all fairly new so obviously they are outclassed. i guess the mangaka recognises shounentards have a functioning memory span of 20 minutes and that she had to show them directly before they forget again.
Xavier Brown
>everything is an asspull
O MY RUBBER NEN meme did a lot of damage to this board
Connor Fisher
The tanjiro one was pretty bullshit I'll give you that. The convenient saves thing is just something that happens in pretty every work of fiction with action in it.
Easton Long
>>Inosuke gets saved in last moment as his head is about to burst >>Zenitsu is about to die from the poison but obviously he gets saved That's just dramatic rescue. You can call it plot armor but it's not an asspull. >>Tanjiro and Nezuko asspulls saving them both It's just flashback, determination powerup, and those happen in KnY all the time. And sometimes the flashbacks do the opposite and depower certain characters.
Samuel Perez
>i legit laughed out loud Wow you are so cool
Alexander Myers
O MY BREATHING TECHNIQUE
Brandon Bell
Well we know they called.in reinforcements from the top ranks. The reinforcements bailing them out isn't unexpected or weird.
Lucas Foster
Cutting a boulder because you train hard enough is tolerable. Having flashbacks about the character who was mentioned once, that give you a power up you never even knew was appliable is not.
Austin Myers
Did anyone actually expect for Zenitsu to die? I think it's pretty clear he was breathing to ensure he survived until help came.
Hudson Adams
>for Zenitsu to die No, but now I wonder how the fuck are they going to explain his limbs going normal. Magical serum?
Brandon Fisher
I thought vampires don't use internet
Mason Gomez
>Inosuke gets saved in last moment as his head is about to burst >Tanjiro and Nezuko asspulls saving them both They spent about 3 episodes telling you the pillars were coming
Logan Wilson
yeah magic anti senzu bean serum
Noah James
There is a poison that turns humans into spiders. Magical serum isn't that far-fetched in this setting.
Sebastian Cox
>Waah why doesn't the author kill all his main characters >they were put in a tense situation so now they have to die or it'll betray my bird brain expectations.
Christopher Davis
If every convenient thing is an asspull now then almost all of anime is an asspull.
Charles Barnes
He could have just lost his vocal cords instead.
Easton Williams
Common criticism when someone can't come up with a good criticism: > generic > asspull
Adam Bell
Well, I kinda wish powers of hunters were just a stylistical choice showing off their mastery with the sword. And ability to do heavy metamorphoses was strictly demon related.
Jose Clark
Explain how Tanjiro got stronger from the new breathing technique he remembered a millisecond before the thread shreds him.
Colton Green
unironically THIS
Dylan James

Isaac Lopez
>new breathing technique For Tanjiro there was always difference between >my water breathing technique And >breathing technique that father teached me He never really tried to use dancing breathing technique as fighting technique because he already has water.
It's a battle shounen, people get power ups in desperate situations all the time.
Samuel Wilson
Well the breathing apparently gave his dad superb stamina to dance for long periods despite his frail body.
Dominic Morales
It pretty easy to see that he already know how to use the dance, he just never thought that it could be use as a combat technique. It only now that he recall his father words and realize that the dance is similar to the Breath Style that the Demon slayer use. Also i don't want to go into spoiler, but remember that Muzan recognize the earing of someone nearly kill him in the past and Tanjirou earing is pass down for generation, so from that we can conclude that Tanjirou and the dance is somehow connect to the only slayer that nearly kill Muzan
Jace Ward
My point is that he has no time to even take a breath.
Adam Thompson
The powers are a stylistic choice that are just visualizations of the breath. It's ufo's mistake when Zenitsu's aura broke the ground in ep 17.
Andrew Gomez
>superb stamina Well, not only that.
Eli Perry
It's not like he wasn't breathing. Just switched to other form. For how i remember, Tanjiro isn't really compatable with water (not enough strength in swings or something like that).
Lucas Mitchell
Demon slayer boss knew his "children" ware dying on that mountain and told 2 pillars to check that place. DYEWTS?
Adam Cook
yes
Matthew Reyes
You're watching a shounen and you're expecting it to be good? You're supposed to do the opposite.
>Scream meme. You can fuck off with that already faggot, it's not funny anymore.
Jose Wilson
I think this series is at the point where it's getting too popular for its own good
Daniel Davis
Putting characters into unwinnable situations can be fun to write but then you always need to asspull them out unless they are allowed to die and all tension dies with it.
Julian Wilson
>previous episodes show other characters being dispatched to this area >said characters show up and help OMG FUCKING ASSPULL @!!
I could at least tolerate the pig boy and Zenitsu's saves by the pillars since we knew they were coming, but that part with Tanjiro and Nezuko was just total bullshit.
Brandon Morales
>that part with Tanjiro and Nezuko was just total bullshit. But that budget, tho...
The reason i have it saved is because his screaming made me drop the show, it's garbage.
Eli Morgan
He lived instead though, he was surrounded by threads he said himself he couldn't cut. It doesn't matter if he didn't get the kill, he survived a situation he shouldn't have.
Adam Ward
And if he had been killed, the series would be over for sure. Plot armor since he's the mc and there's nothing to do about it. Other characters might have been killed under the same circumstances anyway.
Aaron Cox
fpbp
Brandon Thomas
Yes, I don't disagree with any of that. My point was that it doesn't matter if the enemy didn't die, that fire technique was pulled from absolutely nowhere shown before in the story such a very convenient time- an asspull.
Kevin Gutierrez
>Kimetsu no asspull But I thought it has so many asspulls
Kevin Howard
This series is tropes done right because where it would annoy me in another series I love it in this one.
Ethan Russell

Jaxon Sanchez
I wouldn't call the thing with Tanjiro and Nezuko an asspull. That's just shonen. But you have a point with the other 2
Brayden Bennett
Lmao if you animeonly scum think THESE are asspulls just wait for the next arcs
>being flexible= moving your internal organs at will, and it just happened that he moved his heart away while he got stabbed by an attack he didn't even see coming It was an asspull, through and through
James Johnson
bump?
Josiah Myers
Based retard speedreader
Logan Scott
Nope she's a sinking ship.
Xavier Gonzalez
>dump thread literally everyone called this an asspull >desperate newfags trying to fit in now defend it
Isaiah Reyes
Cringe. Then you are as bad as the shonenshitters you criticize.
