This episode was yet another solid entry with an emotional story and breathtaking animation!

This episode focuses entirely on Muichiro and his backstory! As the backstory was both emotional and gave ud some great insight into his backstory, i really enjoyed it! The message was great as ties back to the arc of helping others qnd whatever good you to do to others, comes back to help you! The conclusion to the backstory was sad and tragic!

The animation and fight was incredible! Gave me chills! I honestly love how Ufotable animates water and liquid! Looks smooth and realistic! Ufotable once again fleres their budget! Can not wait for the next!

I'm caught up with Demon slayer season 3, and so far it pales in comparison to the previous 2 seasons and the movie. I don't blame the studio entirely, as they already had poor source material to work with considering how plain the manga is. The villains in this arc especially feel cheap and considerably unimpressive in comparison to Gyutaro, even when they are supposedly ranked higher. Although the fight between Gyutaro and Uzui in the manga was incomparable to what the studio animated last season, the studio included a much longer and MUCH more impressive fight sequence which left me wondering why this wasn't done throughout this season yet. So far, the fights have been completely loyal to the manga which is not a good thing in this case because of how boring they are. Especially after seeing how Muichiro and gyukko's fight concluded, I can't help but compare it to the high tension, risk, and a sense of sacrifice there was in previous fights like Akaza vs Rengoku, and Gyutaro vs Uzui. So far the fights just felt bland and there was no sense of risk at all, which is bad for Demon slayer considering the fights are it's one redeeming feature.

However, this episode was by far the best of this season. The backstory, voice acting, and animation was just perfect for this episode. It's confusing to me how it isn't rated much higher. I hope at least the last episode matches the level of the last season's finale, as it would redeem most of what this season was missing.
