-The humor is on point. Inosuke - fucking dead.

-It seems weird that Ubuyashiki Kagaya wasn't going to meet the Hashira. He seemed to find them close enough that he'd see them and not mind how he appeared.

-Tengen living his best life so far. Ufotable gave his wives even more revealing outfits than before.

-The crow's voice at the end gave off villain vibes for sure. I don't blame Tamayo for being on guard. I'd have said the VA was Nakata Jouji, but it turned out to be Hayami Shou.

He's awful, but Zenitsu remains my favorite part of this show.

Too bad they couldn't drag out why water hashira doesn't want to participate in the training during the double long premier. I expect his "I'm different than you" means he is trying to Kill Muzan and thus wants to keep training solo for the best results?

Tengen's wives certainly did begin to dress for summer.

So is the consensus that the mark (totally forgot about it) comes during/surviving a do-or-die situation? Funny it spreads like a disease of swordsmanship.

It wasn't made clear in the last arc that neither of the Hashira had ever gone Super Saiyan before. That's important information for the audience to have.

Ancient book: "The mark will appear on one person. Then on the people around that person."
Lady: "The mark first appeared on Tanjiro, then on the Hashira that were with him."
Every Hashira: "So...we're all going to hang out with Tanjiro...right?"

Good start.

Ngl, the hashira appear too weak compared to the upper demons.

Is this the final season?

Funny that, because while it seems more like a boost from morale, they cut out exactly what the mark does to the swordsman. The honcho woman just mentioned that those who have already awakened "don't have a choice", and to me that sounds like they've in for something bad.

If this season is only this arc, then no.

It's gonna be a "drastically shortened lifespan". That's what ever extreme anime powerups' cost is.


Unless...it turns you into a demon eventually. And that's how Upper 1 ended up a demon.

Well yeah, those are usually the two options. The demon part is interesting because it implies that you have to become a demon in order to beat one. The "burning up your lifespan because sun breathing" fits the lore.
