The Mugen Practice journey is underway. Tanjiro and gang lastly meet up with Kyojuro Rengoku on the practice whereas Rengoku scarfs down these bento containers we noticed him get from Fuku and grandma in episode 1.

Tanjiro acknowledges the Flame Hashira is a bit quirky, however Rengoku’s scent offers off a powerful sense of justice. Tanjiro can positive odor some bizarre stuff… I am truthfully jealous. As per common, Zenitsu freaks out upon listening to there is a demon lurking whereas Inosuke exudes his maniac self banging on the home windows, desirous to race this monster referred to as a practice.

Largely, this episode comprises a lot of what we have seen earlier than within the film, however let’s recap for these watching Mugen Practice for the primary time and speak about what’s new.

Beware: Spoilers forward!

New intro and outro

That is the latest content material we obtained this week.

LiSA, who sang the unique Demon Slayer theme music, Gurenge, returns to sing the opening and outro for this arc. The opening theme is named Akeboshi and it options intense and exquisite string melodies to begin the music. The outro theme is named Shirogane. It is a bit extra hype than the opener as a faster-paced music, nevertheless it blends extra string melodies with LiSA’s signature rock anthem really feel.

The largest factor from the opening and outro are scenes we have not seen earlier than, not even within the Mugen Practice movie. It contains photographs of toddler Kyojuro Rengoku trying down at his child brother Senjurō Rengoku. We additionally see grownup Kyojuro educating Senjurō a while once they’re older.

Now, we did briefly meet Senjurō within the Mugen Practice movie as a part of Kyojuro’s dream, however the scenes included on this installment of Demon Slayer’s opening weren’t within the movie. This might imply that among the new scenes promised with the Mugen Practice Arc could be an enlargement of Kyojuro’s dream, offering a deeper backstory on Kyojuro and his brother Senjurō.

Enmu’s assault begins

The dreary-looking practice conductor comes by to punch the passengers’ playing cards, nevertheless it’s later revealed that he is working for the demon Enmu, as are different youngsters on the practice who need Enmu to spell solid them into joyful goals. Enmu is the Decrease One of many Twelve Kizuki — the identical demon that obtained that boatload of Muzan Kibutsuji’s blood on the finish of season 1.

Enmu’s blood demon artwork permits him to place his victims to sleep and even curate their goals whereas below his spell — from joyful to horrifying.

We all know from the Mugen Practice movie that the sleep spell is activated on the gang the second the conductor punches the playing cards. So, sure, sadly, that incredible Rengoku motion we see is definitely only a dream — however whose dream was it? In all probability Rengoku contemplating that the gang is gushing over him calling him “massive brother” whereas Rengoku laughs it up.

The slayers are asleep and susceptible; the youngsters working for Enmu tether themselves to the slayers to penetrate their goals and destroy their religious core. “A human’s driving drive is the center, the spirit! All it’s important to do is destroy the religious core and you may kill them identical to that,” Enmu screams into the void as he rides on prime of the Mugen Practice.

Tanjiro’s dream

It is what Tanjiro needed within the first place and what strikes him to be a powerful member of the demon slayer core: A protected and joyful household. Tanjiro’s deep slumber has him again in his outdated look, within the snowy mountains the place he grew up together with his household, promoting coal when he turned sufficiently old.

The second Tanjiro sees his beforehand deceased youthful siblings Hanako and Shigeru, he drops his sword, runs to them and hugs them whereas tears pour down his eyes. It positive have to be good to see them once more.

Tanjiro additionally sees momma Kie and youngest brother Rokuta of their dwelling.

There is no signal of Nezuko but, however we all know she’ll present up in a later episode since there is a massive second along with her within the Mugen Practice movie.
