Kny Season 4 - Blog Posts

I kinda wish the Hashira Training arc was longer, so I have an idea to be put during this arc so:

Tanjirou returning back to his hometown and house in request of Oyakata to find clues about Nezuko's resistance against the sun.

With Tamayo's note about Nezuko's growth and constant cells mutation, Tanjirou heads back to his home in hope that any clues he finds can help contribute to the corps. This small mission is also to ensure that any information could be taken and hidden first in case Muzan ever returns back to the Kamado's residence for clues as well.

Tanjirou is accompanied by Kanao and Giyuu. Kanao is there with some information of plants and herbs that may be helpful, and also to be Shinobu's second eyes since the Insect Hashira isn't able to tag along. Giyuu provides extra protection, again, in case Muzan sends any demons there despite the lack of demonic activities.

The young Kamado relishes the experience of returning back to his hometown, and the residents are more than happy to welcome home back with smiles and teary eyes. Although there's a bit of a misunderstanding upon seeing Giyuu, who was once suspected to be the suspect of the Kamado's family death.

The trio arrive at Kamado's residence, and they pay respects and prayers to the graves first before looking around.

Tanjirou has some nostalgic moments as he gazes upon his home, his heart swells with pain. Some tankana bonding moments of Kanao asking about how his life was and her smiling wistfully at the thought of such a warm family. The young slayers get even more determined to defeat demons.

They find nothing in the house but Giyuu spots wilting horsetail weed around the area. Kanao inspects in and takes note of the subtle differences in the petals, the colours, the stems, etc etc. She collects some samples to be taken back. The trio do more inspections but find nothing. They leave before nightfall, advising the town people to stay away from the mountain area in case Muzan gets there or anything.

On the way back, Tanjirou tells stories of his childhood memories. One in particular about the time his mother made him and Nezuko a soup when they were sick.

Kanao returns to the Butterfly estate and sets the plants in small pots, stationing them in Shinobu's office, before returning to training.

Shinobu, workaholics and couldn't count the last time she took a proper sleep, is about to inspect the plants according to Kanao's report. The sun is peeking barely behind the mountains, the day is bright,

and in the pots are blooming blue Spider Lilies.

Cigarette,

Daydream,

You were only 8 years old...

Words cannot express how I am amazed by KNY last episode for Hashira training arc

[kny spoiler]

Wait oh my God the last episode of Hashira training arc and Infinity castle arc all takes place in one night.

So technically the day Tanjirou finished his training with Muichiro and Genya is the last time he interacts with them....

omg I love KNY latest episode, especially the ending with the whole suspension of Muzan meeting the Ubuyashiki. But the slow motion, song playing in the background and the momentarily split screen of Muzan and Kagaya made me snort because it reminded me of those Korean drama episode 😭😭

Also proud to be Gyomei's lover ✊✊✨ Been loving him before his screen time 🥹💕

[spoiler]

In the honour of Season 4 about to end, remember the last arc where human Nezuko arrives at the final battle scene after everything ends, in search of Tanjirou. A kakushi guides her through the rubble,

through the torn and shredded corpses,

passing by the embraced bodies of the Love and Serpent Hashiras, cold and unmoving, and the blind slayer whose eyes finally stopped leaking with tears,

through the bloodied grounds scattered with severed limbs and organs,

passing by the crying crows that stay besides their slayers, a familiar bird with long eyelashes is uncharacteristically quiet,

passing by bleeding Zenitsu and Inosuke, an unconscious scarred slayer with white hair lays nearby,

and she spots the back of the first slayer who spared her regardless of what she is -- or what she was --

until her pink eyes, finally human and glisten with tears,

spots the body of her brother, for the first time not breathing.

I find it intriguing that Obanai is tasked with the accuracy of sword swinging training, considering that one of his eyes doesn't work well. I'd like to think that, aside from Kaburamaru's help, his instincts and senses are honed very well.

We can take into account of his past too, when he was always being monitored by the snake demon without him seeing her so his danger alert senses probably being heightened from there on. It's also amazing that after everything he went through, he doesn't despise snakes or scaly animals but instead decided to take it as a symbol of him.

or we can take that as him studying about snakes because he wants to be as prepared as possible if encountering another snake-themed demon (also to take better care of Kaburamaru) which then makes him fascinated over it and practices his attacks based on the snake's movements.

(Can this be taken as a form of disability? The concept of disabled slayers is something that can be explored, like Gyomei's blindness doesn't hinder him from being the strongest slayer and Sanemi's colour blindness -- that can impair a person's ability to read and interpret various diagrams and graphics -- doesn't let him stop from doing whatever the heck he wants or Uzui with his lack of one arm and still be able to perform flawlessly.)

I can't stress how I love the latest episode of KNY season 4, how cute it is and how the anime gives more context and stories.

I love the connection between Hashiras, how we see that they do have fun with each other, and how Muichiro opens up more to others. Connecting between people will give more depth and feelings on the future...

I also love the paper planes scene. They all are animated beautifully, and the close up on Muichiro and Tanjirou? It'll be Muichiro's memory that he fonds of, and something that Tanjirou will look back at...

(we all know this will just add more angst in the next arc.)

Also I remember drawing a Muinezu fanart of them doing origami, so I might redraw that with paper planes too later 😊💖

Edit; the way I gasped when seeing the hundreds eyeballs...I was like EW EW WHY ARE THEY MOVING LIKE THAT NAKIME I LOVE YOU BUT WHAT ARE THOSE 😭😭

Me, when people fighting over the training between Muichiro, Sanemi and Obanai on who's stronger, when it's very much clear that they're just training and each have their own strength, weakness, advantage and disadvantage:

Oh.

" She talks to me often. "

Losing my mind at kny season 4 episode 2 cause I just see the same situations between Tanjirou/Giyuu and Kanao/Shinobu's interactions.

Big siblings figure with their little siblings moment >>>>

Giyuu thinking he's rather off dead and Tanjirou managed to successfully help him realise that his life is worth it,

and Shinobu about to tell Kanao of her suicidal plan with Kanao unable to convince her otherwise.

Two Hashiras; one overwhelmed with survivor guilt and another stop caring about anything else but revenge.

One realises he needs to live because that's what his late sister and Sabito would've wanted, and another ignores her late sister's will to keep on living and decides to soothe her anger by avenging the late sister.

Also I love how Giyuu asked about Shinobu's training, seeing that he doesn't 'hear' anything from her; implying that, possibly, in times he went to shut himself off like this, she would've written to him about what's going on and keeps in touch with him.

Oh my god he doesn't know about her plan. This hits harder now :((

Off topic, but look at how beautiful they are;

Woah it's like a reverse role. Now that I added the pics side by side, I adore the switch between them -- like how we see another side of them.

It's a bit odd to see the usually cheerful Shinobu looking so serious, and the sombre looking Giyuu seems relaxed now, isn't it?

Just watched the first episode of KNY season 4 and I absolutely love the animation. The breathing style, the soundtracks and everything. It's only the first episode but it's very chaotic already 🤣

Giyushino rambling here, but I love the subtle signs of Shinobu's concern over Giyuu. You can see it in the way she asked him to explain himself on leaving the unfinished meeting, how she said something along the line of Giyuu keeps leaving things out of context. Unlike the others who seemed mildly annoyed and ticked off by his distant attitude, Shinobu just wants his explanation, for him to speak out and make efforts to not be misunderstood. Even after the meeting, she raised the question regarding Giyuu's participation in the training.

Giyuu keeps worrying her to no end. Sometimes with how they act towards each other, I wonder if Shinobu made it clear to Giyuu that she wanted him to make acquaintance with the other slayers and he was just like "no thank you" so that pissed her off and she made it her mission to annoy him " you have no friends lololol" just so he could get tired of her poking and heed her advice.

I think there's an understanding between Shinobu and Giyuu of their positions as Hashiras. Giyuu doesn't think he deserves it but he's not going to say it to Shinobu, who is physically the weakest and still managed to raise her rank. He might not get social cues much, but he thinks it would be an insult for the hardworking Insect Hashira if he steps down from his position just because he feels undeserved. And Shinobu, who's sharp and sometimes cares too much, probably picks up Giyuu's feelings over his position so maybe that's why she wants her to make friends with others just so he could make more connections and feel worthy of his spot.

Talking about Shinobu, I am betting that she gives Inosuke an earful of scolding after seeing the damage he did on the window.b

Nezuko-chan!

I just adore her a lot!~

I can't wait to see more of her in Hashira Training arc.

No thought smile is just adorable
