The Swordsman Village Arc has concluded and the stakes are beginning to skyrocket. Going into this arc I honestly expected one of, if not both of the hashira's to die considering what happened to Gyutaro and Daki at the end of the last arc. But considering Gyutaro individually was stronger than upper 5, maybe even upper 4, it makes sense that they wouldn't live up to that standard.
It's a little disappointing that we couldn't see the full potential of upper 4 because I thought he was one of the coolest looking demons yet, but considering we are halfway, maybe even over halfway done with this show it makes sense that there will be more demons falling. This brings more attention to Akaza, Doma, and Kokushibo as well as Muzan who will now be on the offensive in the future.
The main thing that surprised me is that we didn't get to see the fullest potential of the Love Hashira Mitsuri, and maybe even Muichiro as well unless his final form was the one we saw against upper 5. I'm concerned going into the future knowing there are 3 demons left, 4 including Muzan and yet there's still 7 hashira's. Add on Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and also Genya and others, that makes over 11 demon slayers against 4 demons. I'm just hoping the balance isn't going to be clustered going into the future considering we usually see the fullest potential of every demon slayer and hashira.
But the main takeaway of the episode was the Nezuko scene. It was heartbreaking at first but shocking that she can withstand the sun. It was a beautiful scene but it's hard to judge on it considering there are many questions that are yet to be answered. Hopefully we get clarity in the future because while the scientists insight was great, I don't think it's enough to write off what happened with Nezuko completely.
Moving forward, things will be more intense as Muzan finally has a goal set in stone. While the demon slayers might think they've taken the victory, Muzan got what he wanted even if it was at the cost of 2 of his upper ranks. And it seems he wants to take matters into his own hands so what does that mean for the other upper ranks? I'm excited to find out but I'm looking forward to the next arc considering the stakes are going to be much higher. Tanjiro is entering Hashira level and I'm sensing an all out war between the demons and demon slayers, and I cannot wait.
