Demon Slayer 4x8 The Hashira Unite - GROUP REACTION!!!

Zenitsu was Indeed awake, After Reading that letter he's like a different person

What a hideous cliffhanger! This was for me the best demon slayer episode right now. Best arc here we go!!!

The Master’s wife and those two kids knew what was going to happen. They chose to be with him for that. It’s very sad, but they all made that choice.

10/10 finale holy shit, can’t wait for the movies 😭😭😭

It was explained in the manga that Kagaya's voice inhabits the '1/F Fluctuation' or 'pink noise.' It's a type of frequency that makes people calm. A lot of public speakers, like politicians, have that (yes it's a real thing). In season 1, when Tanjiro met Kagaya, he said that his voice made him feel like he was floating. It could also be the case that Muzan had a child after he became a demon, and because of that, children from the Ubuyashiki family were born with a genetic defect that was just passed down. In the early 1900s, medicine in Japan wasn't that advanced, so people would just call illnesses a curse. Also it would make sense that if they defeat him, his influence on Ubuyashiki would disappear together with other demons. But it could go either way. Kagaya's speech about stepping on a tiger's tail and unleashing the dragon's wrath also alludes to yin and yang. Muzan isn't alive or dead; he just exists. He is stuck in a state between life and death, creating an imbalance. That's why Kagaya mentions the tiger and the dragon, which represent yin and yang. Muzan is BETWEEN the tiger and the dragon, destroying the harmony. It's almost as if, because Muzan has lived past his lifespan, he is drawing the life force from the Ubuyashiki family just to balance it out. I also love how this show handles the existential theme of eternity, contrasting the eternity of demons with that of humanity. It emphasizes that permanence should not be sought in the flesh but in metaphysical concepts. The hanafuda earring, Kagura dance, Yoriichi Type 0, and the sword hidden inside itᅳall of these are examples of this theme. They are important not because they are material things, but because of the sentimental and emotional value they inherit. They were passed down, serving as evidence of someone's existence, their feelings, and their connection to this world even after their physical form is gone. It also ties into Muzan's monologue about change and why he dislikes it from the previous season. He desires an unchanging eternity, while human eternity is constantly changing. Feelings, knowledge, values, and traditions change as they are passed on to new generations and evolve over time. As well we change over time both our bodies and minds. Muzan as a character represents humanity's natural impulse/drive for survival, stagnation, and loneliness in death; he is the antithesis to humanity's concept of eternity. The whole setup for their conversation was great. The contrast between a man on his dying bed lecturing, the being that existed for more than thousand years, about the nature of permanence is fantastic. This creates a unique characters dynamic within the conversation. Ufotable gave instructions for Opening song lyrics to be written as if Muzan and Kagaya were having a conversation from this episode. I won't post the full lyrics, but these are my favorite parts: -"To you who don't know the meaning of eternity It's time to show the answer. Who is waiting at the end of the (eternal) spiral stretching towards fleeting dreams and illusions" -"My reason sounds like an excuse Because weakness that hauled in an empty future Is something you’re mistaking for strength"

tamayo's story is so sad she said i wanted to see my child grow up

fun fact: the timeline of events in the 6 months of when Ubuyashiki was suppose to die. -the opening scene of Mugen Train was him basically saying he was dying soon. that was likely around the moment when exactly he knew he was going to die (his 'in a few days' line). -Ep1 of the Redlight District arc Tanjirou monologues that it's been 4 months since Rengoku died. -Ubuyashiki coughing up blood in the S2 finale and his monologue about how fate has changed with the death of an UM. this was likely when his death woulda happened as the trio and Uzui were on their mission for 3 days. -Ep1 of the Swordsmith Village arc Tanjirou was incapacitated after the end of S2 for 2 months. -Tanjirou throughout the Hashira Training arc has basically been training for about 3 weeks. so Ubuyashiki was truly holding back his death on pure willpower throughout all of these events, until the very moment Muzan came to him, which is so wild.

Everyone really ignoring kanao 😭😭 crazy

I like Zenitsu and Inosuke's reactions when they fell into the Infinite Castle different from others

My fav scene was when all the Hasihras found out it was Muzan.. I got chills with their reaction. This ended weird like there was supposed to be an ending scene. So we have 3 movies to look forward too..

My Fav Anime : 1- Demon Slayer 2- Attack on titans 3- jujitsu kaisen

The explosion felt real omg the animation on demon slayer is absolutely phenomenal❤

Greetings from Japan! Just so you know, we say “Hajimemashite” upon meeting someone new for the FIRST time. Each time afterwards, it’s either a greeting for the time of day or simply “konnichiwa” for a standard “hello” so only a few versions of the English subtitles that I have seen have been correct. It’s annoying for sure, and confusing. Remember the Entertainment District Arc? We got that title, “Defeating an Upper Rank Demon” and I’m like, “That’s not what that says. More like “ONCE we defeat an Upper Rank demon.” Crunchy Roll, HiAnime, and a few others have varying translations so if you look at other reaction channels you’ll see some of the variations of the translations. But at any rate, I always enjoy you guys and your discussions. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you! I’m excited for that Infinity Castle trilogy that will wrap all this up! LET’S GO!!!!!!!

The next head of Ubuyashiki clan is in disguise.

When I first met my face, when I greeted in Japanese, I started to say "hazimemasite," but I felt that the idea that "this time has come here" is coming up in the smile of odate. Lead a strong bond to the children who leave. It was a very wonderful final time!

Muzan was probably never happier than in that moment,trapped them all in a place where he is basically unbeatable..no sunlight and its all after his rules lol im honestly shocked some people think that this is kind of a W for the demon slayers to end up there,this is REALLY bad for them objectively 😭

They've broken down the episode very well❤❤❤ even the mini details like the way the characters spoke.. perfect reactions!!

This was an AMAZING & FIRE final buildup episode for the upcoming "Infinity Castle Arc" 🔥👏🔥👏🔥👏 Awesome reaction as well 🙌🙌🙌

I’ve watched many reaction videos for this episode and I must say, this was the best I’ve seen. You all did a fantastic job of breaking down the content at the end of the episode. Really enjoyed your discussion. Great job. 👍

This is a masterpiece from ufotable..rip ubuyashiki kagaya
