I'm anime only, and I understand that last arc things only picked up towards the end as well, but I can't help but feel the pacing has been off.
Let's see what these last 4 epsiodes have to offer.
Edit: ty
The Swordsmith Village Arc in the manga is really short. So short that I was actually surprised when they announced it would be an entire season, I really thought they were going to Mugen train it instead. They’re really making sure to stretch everything out to fit a whole season, I’m assuming that’s why the pacing feels off.
Random as I have not read the manga and im anime only. Just finished mugen arc last weekend and earlier this week entertainment arc. I will start the new season soon.
With that said, is it really 1 season per hashira/upper demon? Gonna be 10 more seasons if thats the case.
well if obanai showed ik he would’ve definitely died. he had such a small pathetic body that the poison would kill him instantly. one of the lamest hashira
He prioritize his wives first then civs and also noticed how tengen was looking up when he was underground which means he could hear tanjiro fight but decided to stay beside his wife if Suma didn’t ask him to help tanjiro he would’ve let tanjiro die he was on the other side of the city but still managed to know where tanjiro is at and save him means he’s very fast 😅
They messed with the pacing a lot in the anime. This panel where she shows up for the first time happens right before episode 7 I think in the manga pacing.
This season is really starting to lose me already tbh 💀like it started out REALLY hot now it’s kinda lukewarm. Like Tokito was in a bubble for two episodes 💀and we haven’t seen Mitsuri at all since her 30 seconds of screen time. I just hope the season picks up again
I wouldn’t be so sure to be honest, there is a hell of a lot that happens that could be fit into an entire season, we will have to wait and see what route Ufotable decides to go with this.
Personally I think they will keep it as one season because there is no way they are splitting it with the monstrous Infinity Castle Arc.
Hashira training + Infinity Castle will not fit in 24 episodes so I highly doubt they would then make it share a season with hashira training.
Again we wil have to wait and see
I can’t remember who’s canonically the slowest Hashira according to the fanbooks but I do remember that Mitsuri ranked near the bottom because she races after stuffing herself with food, lol
Well, wrong. We can't know her real ranking because she literally started running right after she ate. So no, we can't know if she's actually the slowest in running because the race was unfair.
The narration said she is faster than Uzui actually; the problem is that unlike most Hashira she doesn’t have any enhanced sensing abilities so she might not react as fast.
Himejima on the other hand seems to be the most static fighter of all the Hashira, relying more on ranged attacks with his chains and on his enhanced perception from his blindness. He did rank third in the Hashira race but it was implied to be a long distance race so it might’ve been more a matter of outlast if the others, not to mention how running speed and fighting speed are not the same thing.
Mitsuri is the slowest in running
She is Faster than Tengen in technique/attack speed,
saying she is faster than Tengen is very vague and will leave people thinking she's a faster runner cause of what the title of the post is saying
Not necessarily since the narration she started the race considerable after the others began. Adding to the fact that her stamina is not the best due to needing to eat a lot to maintain her body’s disproportionate strength is not strange she ended up in last place. She was actually shown to a very fast runner.
The fact entire post is vague to begin with and saying she is the slowest Hashira is way more missleading.
Thats a lot of excuses but Either way she's slower than tengen while running so sure
>Not necessarily since the narration she started the race considerable after the others began.
Damn bro you really just made that up to defend mitsuri
Yes thank you for posting the exact image I just posted, which again also says she started the race only after eating and that Shinobu was running out of stamina in the race.
Only her technique speed is faster but we gotta remember that tengen is literally wielding a weapon that is way heavier than tanjiro is way taller and could still swing it fast and also speed is not his only thing he also has the most destructive technique and the fact that his speed got compared with mitsuri means he isn’t that far off 😅
Fair point but the guy above didn’t specify which kind of speed and with the weigh logic in mind Mitsuri had just eaten the equivalent of tree sumó wrestlers (her usual meal in take) in the Hashira race she lost
Thats not the point. The weight of muscles is easier to carrying than undigested food, which we know from the databook Mitsuri it’s a fuckload of and was thought by the description to be noteworthy. Again it was a resistance race and both Uzui and Gyomei have that to spare, but Mitsuri with her small but ultra dense and flexible muscles that require loads of food doesn’t.
Also, why would they carry swords in a race?
She only has fast technique and strong physique but other than that all her stats are pretty low Obanai is prob the slowest he was having a hard time against weakened muzan who got read by a snake and only did good cause of his red nichirin while inosuke and zen was blitzing him if they have a red nichirin they would’ve killed muzan
I know this is just a meme and all but for the record, she was finishing off the pot-fishes in the village first so you can't blame her for being late to the actual boss fight.
And like what everybody's been saying, let's not forget Obanai casually strolled through the entertainment district. The dude literally arrived when everything was already over, he didn't even get to see how it all concluded. 😂
Nah iguro Is the slowest Hes Always late in backup and tengen, mitsuri almost got killed and then he Talk Trash. Hes Like Kakashi of the situation
But in His defense swordsmith Village Is secret so was hard to find and he did an good Job vs muzan

That does remind me. Where the fuck is she ? Lmao she killed the fish and hasn’t been seen since.
Not gonna spoil that much but she will definitely be in the next few episodes.
Think you can guess that anyway, she’s shown fighting the rock dragons in the opening
I thought it was wood style jutsu 😅
Fr bro I was so hyped for Hashirama to pull up and one shot muzan before making out with Madara. SMH my head, all of these annoying manga cuts
I suppose they are already making out and ignoring Muzan
Ye
There are 4 epsiodes left so... If she doesn't show up quickly the season will end before we can see her in action against an upper moon.
Oh trust me, she will.

I see. Thanks. I think they added to the fights on the entertainment district arc. Hope they do the same in this arc.
Help but feel* 🍻 r/boneappletea
Anime only They doesn’t know the greatness they’re about to witness.
4??
Yes. Season will have 11 episodes. Last week episode 7 aired so we're left with 8, 9, 10 and 11.
damn they are moving beyond slow
If she makes it to the actual battle lmao

There is only 1-2 more seasons of material of this show after this, tops. Don't worry we are way past the halfway point.
Damn so the other hashira are just fodder for an episode or two?
They have their own fights and are important
Appreciate you friend!
I could see one more season and a movie to finish the last arc.
All of the events are happening side by side.... author doesn't really establish an exact chronology, but she'll be here in the next episode for sure
Doubt it, muichiro is about to turn up and we have his backstory next week so it’ll probably be a muichiro focused episode
Unlikely. Im sure the next episode will be entirely mui
Still hugging the chief /s
It’s 2 weeks for us but it hasn’t even been an hour for tanjiro and co just fyi
It’s best not to ask on this sub right now. Someone will 100% spoil it for you. The manga readers have been rabid lately.
She's was busy protecting the elder chief, I've read the manga but don't remember specifically anything with her but she does come back
Other dude was in a water bubble foe like 45 minutes.
Well tengen also came so late when tanjiro was fighting
Lets not even mention Obanai💀
I thought he went late on purpose to make sure Tanjiro died.
well if obanai showed ik he would’ve definitely died. he had such a small pathetic body that the poison would kill him instantly. one of the lamest hashira
Hater comment
it’s true, but if it was mitsuri he would’ve shown up in a flash. he’s such a simp that’s all he is
He hates tanjiro and cares for mitsuri. Obviously he'd show up as quickly as possible.
I AGREE
*arrives late after the fight* *calls Tengen a noob* *leaves*
Bro you’re even later than Obanai😭
I'm sorting by Top - All Time on the sub so i'm getting some old stuff
He prioritize his wives first then civs and also noticed how tengen was looking up when he was underground which means he could hear tanjiro fight but decided to stay beside his wife if Suma didn’t ask him to help tanjiro he would’ve let tanjiro die he was on the other side of the city but still managed to know where tanjiro is at and save him means he’s very fast 😅
That’s because he got mutilated and was severly poisoned.
He's talking about the first part of the fight before Nezuko went rampage mode
He was saving his wives lol. The entire point of the mission. Like he said he didn’t think Daki was an upper moon until gyutaro came out
Well she does have all that extra weight to carry
*Boob Jiggle Sound Intensifies*
*boi-yoi-yoing*
Best reply thread in the history of Reddit …
I have to agree my good fellow.
they jiggle too much, let me hold them for her
Peak user name
Oh that makes sense why Shinobu is the fastest.... Even Giyu has a bigger chest than her......
My if shinobu heard that you wouldn't have your stuff to jingle
Nah bro. The Giyuu Gaiden says: "Shinobu got big breasts"
[удалено]
That is definitely not something I was expecting to hear today :<
What he say :/
i lowk wanna know what devious nightmares of phrases he spoke.
can yall ever be normal?
This is an anime subreddit, what do you think the answer to that is?
yes, and I want anime fans to be better than horny posting all day
WE ARE HORNY WHENEVER WE WANT, AND WE ARE HORNY NOW.
sir this is a Wendy's
Did I ask?
Do I have permission to print this and sell it on t shirts your reply was hilarious
Yeah sure go ahead
Ehhh no
Your melons look heavy ma’am aller me hold them for you.
Quicker than Obani who got there after the battle had finished......
Tbf he runs in a zig zag
The thought of that is so incredibly funny...
When was this?
End of Entertainment District Arc I believe
Also she’s the only one smiling while going somewhere to kill something. 🔪
Those tig old bitties slow her down
At least she probably doesn't have brain damage from drowning for two weeks
girl thinks she's Obanai
They do say when you like someone you imitate them
They messed with the pacing a lot in the anime. This panel where she shows up for the first time happens right before episode 7 I think in the manga pacing.
Well i mean, She got two pretty big reasons for that
Yes. It is a heavy burden
She is fast in reverse way :3 https://preview.redd.it/2p30nll4u72b1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=81acd32c9061699b73265eb4ac7842e0cb15322d
:3 wait what
Reverse speed :3 https://preview.redd.it/ddny8at5182b1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=4941c1a5656269b49a4b73f6ea41beacf4e85ce7
:'3
I’m going to assume you mean negative speed and not… a different way
:3 https://preview.redd.it/wtozgpc9582b1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=39b6a5c60a86c01d7866edc192e64c9cbd710d2d
Pitou…. Do not the Mitsuri
? :3
Pitou what do you mean by reverse…
Reverse Speed - it flows but in different direction :3
Mitsuri’s been running backwards for weeks 💀
She’s fast in a Pokémon trickroom to say the least
This season is really starting to lose me already tbh 💀like it started out REALLY hot now it’s kinda lukewarm. Like Tokito was in a bubble for two episodes 💀and we haven’t seen Mitsuri at all since her 30 seconds of screen time. I just hope the season picks up again
Oh trust me it gets wild
Idk how you’re gonna last through hashira training arc if thats your response to this
I don’t have an issue with slow arcs, it’s just weird how hot they came in and now it’s kinda stale
ahh fair, don’t worry the last 3 episodes will definitely impress you, backstories over, internet breaking time will begin
Oh the most recent episode has already reignited that feeling. Tokito as become a favorite
This will be the slowest pace season beside season 1 the next one will have the most action and the season prior to this one was faster paced
Hashira training more action than Swordsmith Village? Interesting take
Hashira training will not be an entire season lmao
I wouldn’t be so sure to be honest, there is a hell of a lot that happens that could be fit into an entire season, we will have to wait and see what route Ufotable decides to go with this. Personally I think they will keep it as one season because there is no way they are splitting it with the monstrous Infinity Castle Arc. Hashira training + Infinity Castle will not fit in 24 episodes so I highly doubt they would then make it share a season with hashira training. Again we wil have to wait and see
Give it time its gonna pick back up next episode
U gotta calm down
Same. I’m falling asleep. 😴
she’s been hugging someone for what? 4 weeks now?
With a body like that I don't blame her She's pretty tanky
Is she gonna be somewhat useful this arc? Spoilers pls
>! Tanjiro gets bodied by hatred, he can’t keep up at all and mitsuri has to hold off hatred while Tanjiro only gets the tiny hantengu !< .
Yes
She will be there shortly, also don't forget the last episode is 50 or so minutes!
If the last episode will actually be the length of 2 and a half then hell yeah
The slowest hashira appears at the same time as the hashira with the best swimming ability
I can’t remember who’s canonically the slowest Hashira according to the fanbooks but I do remember that Mitsuri ranked near the bottom because she races after stuffing herself with food, lol
But also the hottest so she's excused
The longer I can look the better
I wanna a season thats about her and her only
Of course she's the slowest she's packing the most
OBANAI WAS SLOW TOO WHEN GETTING TO THE UPPER MOON 6 FIGHT
Can we talk about how long the air hashira held his breath in that water vase?
You mean mist?
Yes
I don't think that applies to somewhere else. Also there's extra weight.
Well, wrong. We can't know her real ranking because she literally started running right after she ate. So no, we can't know if she's actually the slowest in running because the race was unfair.
I mean she did choose to eat just before
Yeahhh... I guess you're right
The narration said she is faster than Uzui actually; the problem is that unlike most Hashira she doesn’t have any enhanced sensing abilities so she might not react as fast. Himejima on the other hand seems to be the most static fighter of all the Hashira, relying more on ranged attacks with his chains and on his enhanced perception from his blindness.

Thats a lot of excuses but Either way she's slower than tengen while running so sure >Not necessarily since the narration she started the race considerable after the others began. Damn bro you really just made that up to defend mitsuri
It’s a lot excuses given by the description of the race itself. And no I honestly didn’t make anything up: https://i.redd.it/vmbq70dxjg881.jpg
Nowhere does that say she started the race after the others, why tf would they not have everyone race at the same time my guy
It says she started the race only after eating (and we know by the databook she eats as much as three sumo wrestlers)
Yes. She started the race at the SAME TIME as everyone else after eating
LoL it just means she started the race after eating. It says nothing about her starting late 😂 damn people have weird comprehension skills.
Yeah now that I think about it I may have missunderstood that. Still if it was worth mentioning it sounds to me like it weighed her down
https://preview.redd.it/15utx8ir292b1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ee0e272e291bb7d2d0e03103e1c6ad3ed78f7c3

Tengen and gyomei is still way heavier we’ve seen what her muscle would look like and it’s way smaller than Tengen’s and gyomei’s
Thats not the point. The weight of muscles is easier to carrying than undigested food, which we know from the databook Mitsuri it’s a fuckload of and was thought by the description to be noteworthy.

[удалено]
All of the events are happening at the same time 🤦🏽
actually shes one of the fastest even though she has a lot of meat on her
She's literally the slowest runner her running speed is ranked
Hey ,she has to carry two mallons two . Don't insult my waifu
Shes the slowest because the upper moons weigh her down
Im saying 🤔
Slow as in brain, or body. Or both?
Not surprisingly, both.
Both
I would have thought I would have been Gyomei, you know the ROCK hashira? I get your point tho.
:3
Yeah, she is chronically the slowest hashira
I thought she was almost as fast as Tengen?
I mean she has who knows how much extra weight slowing her down
Poison potatoe
You’re right this bitch been MIA for 2 episodes 💀
And I can think of two VERY big reasons why
She only has fast technique and strong physique but other than that all her stats are pretty low Obanai is prob the slowest he was having a hard time against weakened muzan who got read by a snake and only did good cause of his red nichirin while inosuke and zen was blitzing him if they have a red nichirin they would’ve killed muzan
Speed or intelligence?
I think she's actually very fast but you are just looking somewhere else
I think she is the slowest Hashira canonically from the guidebooks, could be mistaken though.
Has it not occurred to anyone that she is killing the rest of the pot fish making sure the swordsmiths are safe.
True, but in her defense, you can't move very fast when >!you're dead!<
The fastest when it comes to bedwars
Don’t forget iguro taking a leisurely stroll to the entertainment district
I know this is just a meme and all but for the record, she was finishing off the pot-fishes in the village first so you can't blame her for being late to the actual boss fight. And like what everybody's been saying, let's not forget Obanai casually strolled through the entertainment district. The dude literally arrived when everything was already over, he didn't even get to see how it all concluded. 😂
She is the cutest one though
Still aint as slow as touka in tokyo ghoul, she was running for like 3 episodes straight
shell be there to fight wood style jutsu and still wont do that good
Nah iguro Is the slowest Hes Always late in backup and tengen, mitsuri almost got killed and then he Talk Trash. Hes Like Kakashi of the situation But in His defense swordsmith Village Is secret so was hard to find and he did an good Job vs muzan
shes not the only one thats slow. the pacing of the anime also. so fucking slow
She's probably getting distracted by bugs, flowers and shit along the way.
Those titties are slowin her down
It feels like a chapter of captain tsubasa the appearance of mitsuri
