Demon Slayer is undoubtedly one of the most popular new-gen anime, and it has captivated the attention of many viewers towards the Shonen anime genre. Not to forget, the franchise holds the record for the highest-grossing movie ever in Japan with 2020’s Mugen Train. Owing to the anime’s splendid narrative and breathtaking animations, many fans claim Demon Slayer to be a part of the ‘New Big 3’.
Furthermore, the character’s emotional backstory, followed by the complexities of good and evil, makes most fans deeply resonate and captivated with the series. Indeed, Demon Slayer consists of several memorable moments for fans; however, it’s hard to disagree that Season 2 has been the biggest highlight of the franchise for many. Moreover, Gyuutaro might be the strongest opponent Kamado Tanjiro faced, surpassing the clash with Upper Moon Four.
Daki’s Critical Role: The Secret Behind Tanjiro and Tengen’s Triumph Over Gyuutaro in Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer Season 2 is highly adored by the fandom for its magnificent narrative and terrific action scenes. Furthermore, the Demon Duo of brother and sister highly overpowered the Demon Slayer corps throughout the season; however, Tengen and his team managed to turn the tables around at the end.
Despite being ranked the lowest among the Upper Moons, the clash between Demon Slayer Corps and Upper Moon 6, left a different statement among the audience. Daki and Gyuutaro were the deadliest duo introduced in the series who left all our beloved characters on the verge of death. Without the display of splendid teamwork, the victory over the Demon Siblings didn’t seem likely.
Ironically, the Demonic Siblings Duo met their demise because of their own actions. Daki’s performance against Inosuke and Zenitsu put Gyuutaro under a lot of pressure from Tengen and Tanjiro. Furthermore, the series showcased Daki as Gyuutaro’s only weakness as he dominated the fight against the Demon Slayer Corps and might have emerged victorious, if not for his sister.
During Tanjiro’s clash with Upper Moon 6, Tengen easily overpowered Daki and beheaded her in a second. If not for Gyuutaro, Daki wouldn’t have stood a chance against the Sound Hashira. Besides Tengen, Daki even started to get suppressed by Inosuke during the later stage of the Entertainment District Arc.
In addition to that, Gyuutaro had to keep an eye on Daki and was concerned for her safety while fighting Tengen and Tanjiro at the same time. This only blindsided Gyuutaro’s movement and put the demon underdressed by his opponents. The Daki’s involvement in the fight only resulted in the downfall of the Demon Siblings. After being partially blindsided because of Daki’s struggle against Inosuke and Zenitsu, Gyuutaro was beheaded by Tanjiro.
Despite knowing they won’t be defeated until both siblings get beheaded, Daki doesn’t show any signs of retreating to fight for another day. Her escaping the battlefield would have allowed Gyuutaro to handle the situation much better and overpower the Demon Slayer Corps easily.
Apart from the iconic Demon Siblings battle, Season 4 has also captivated many fans’ interest in the series. With Muzan’s final plan to put an end to the entire Demon Slayer Corps, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the movie trilogy.
Muzan Kibutsuji’s Dramatic Entry in Episode 8 Revives Demon Slayer Season 4
After six years of the Season 1 release, Demon Slayer has gained a significant spotlight in the anime community because of its staggering narrative. Furthermore, the anime keeps on attracting new audiences to the franchise by showcasing the complexities between good and evil.
Owing to Demon Slayer‘s splendid storyline, the manga had over 150 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. Koyoharu Gotouge, the creator of Demon Slayer, has been recognized as one of the greatest by the anime community. Although Season 4 faced tons of criticism for the lack of engaging content, the anime bounced back with the release of Episode 8.
From cinematic explosion animation to Muzan’s grand entry, Season 4 Episode 8 left most fans with a breathtaking experience. Indeed, Hashira’s involvement in launching a perfect attack against Muzan gained the spotlight in the eyes of the fandom. Moreover, the editors were praised heavily for their initial design of Muzan Kibutsuji in Episode 8.
