"Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito" hit on all the right notes to make my heart sing. It was a great episode that reminds us why the battle scenes inare out of this world. It was also a great episode to showcase how powerful Muichiro really is.
At this point, you all know how I feel when fights go on for more than a couple of episodes and how I will always blame DBZ for this. However, the animation inis exceptional, and within seconds of every single battle, I always forget about my own disdain. I know I am now repeating myself, but the way the colors are used in the anime just makes me happy. I enjoy every episode, but when there are battles, my heart just knows we are in for a treat.Well, we are now back with Muichiro vs.
I think the flashbacks for Muichiro were so freaking sad and just kept tugging at my heart. It hurt to see him nearly dead, holding on to his brother and later on to the anger even when he could not remember anything. I wonder if Tanjiro brought his memories back in a way. Also, his reaction to Kotetsu being alive and actually saved by Rengoku's sword handle that Tanjiro had asked to put on his new sword. I almost cried with Muichiro when he saw Rengoku and then his family.
Meanwhile, in the same land and not too far away, we see Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya still trying to fight the hate demon that Hantengu became. After nearly winning a couple of episodes ago, things took a very bad turn, and they are now on the brink of losing. Hell, Tanjiro even gets swallowed by one of the dragon heads conjured and squished to death.
I am glad we are about to finally see Mitsuri kick ass; I cannot wait. Also, I hope it takes a little less than three episodes, but I am sure I will enjoy the ride. It can only get more and more fun from here. I love the silly moments, but at the same time, I love the moments when things get dark and somber— I think it makes the story more believable, considering the sacrifices and losses they have endured so far.
