Oh my God

Muichiro and Tanjirou playing paper planes together, with Tanjirou not really good at it.

Mitchikatsu and Yoriichi playing kites together, with Yoriichi getting the strings tangled up around him.

(also someone said the paper planes represent Muichiro going to heaven and Tanjirou having close calls but still won't die)

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:

More merpeople AU

Props to you for the lighthearted running joke of the losing limbs in this AU, @demonslayedher

The last episode of Demon Slayer season 3 is just *chef kiss*

The soundtrack really contribute well in playing the emotional scenes! I love how Tanjirou's breathing gets fast to show how much he's panicking and can't come to a decision, and I love the soundtrack when Nezuko gets in contact with the sun because it really shows how scary the situation is for Tanjirou and Nezuko.

Damn and Tanjirou saying how the only reason he managed to get this far is because to turn Nezuko back into a human...ahh 🥹🥹 she really is his only sanity, his only reason to continue living.

Haganezuka is so funny 😭 he does not discriminate between ages because he would even throw hands with Kotetsu LMAOOO. He even smacks Muichiro 😂😭

AHH THEY'RE ALL SO CUTE

Let's go last episode next week!! 😭✊✊💕💕

Some thoughts of the recent episode:

1. I have severely underestimated Mitsuri's strength and capability in the manga, holy moly she's astoundingly strong and it shows in the anime! She singlehandedly stopped one of the dragon with her bare hands!

2. I, too, have underestimated Genya's strength when he becomes partially demon...like I forgot that trees have deep roots and the tree that he threw is so big how the hell he's so amazing

3. NEZUKO BEING SO AMAZED WITH MITSURI THEY'RE SO CUTE SISTERS DUO

4. Tanjirou strikes again with his wholehearted words for Mitsuri! :D

5. Really, REALLY love how Tanjirou gets so pissed over Hantengu. He hates this cowardly demon, who victimized himself. He has no mercy for Hantengu.

6. I love Mitsuri's family, but I keep thinking on how crestfallen they would be when they received the news of Mitsuri's fate after the final battle :((

They did so well with his smile, capturing the sinister in it and the mocking glint in his eyes. So I redraw the scene.

(I forgot his blood splatters in the first place)

I understand why some people thinks the fight between Muichiro and Gyokko seem shorter than the last time with Gyutaro and Daki so here are some my speculation:

1) Muichiro has gotten the mark so his strength, speed, durability get more enhanced. Not to mention that he's very strong for someone his age and became a Hashira at a young age has proved how powerful he is even without the mark.

2) Gyokko's fighting skill and range isn't as far as Gyutaro and Daki, and he isn't as destructive with his surrounding that much compare to the siblings. His attacks mainly focuses on Muichiro and are quick to vanish into ashes at being slices, leaving not traces left behind.

3) Muichiro basically more stronger than Gyokko with the mark: he is poisoned and bleeding around but still maintain a perfect strength and skill to keep up with Gyokko. The mark probably helps in slowing the poison too. So the fight is done quicker than the last fight in entertainment arc.

I think it's just me, but maybe the factor of destruction of the surrounding and the exaggeration of movement can manipulate the length of time shown. Gyokko punches and swipes a lot after transforming into his last form, and Muichiro dodges and moves only in that area without the need to jump across many trees.

Also, maybe their fight is happening at the same time as Tanjirou and the others. See how fighting Hantengu seem to take more time? With his rank and ability, Hantengu has far range fighting skill, splitting up to clones and the area of the battle expand more. Aizetsu has smaller fighting range while his other clones can expand the area more like Sekido with his thunder striking, Karaku with his wind blasting and especially Urogi who flies around and has high frequency soundwave shrieks.

Then comes Zohakuten and his dragons, so Tanjirou, Nezuko and Genya have to move around like, a LOT, to dodge and plan counter attacks. Mitsuri comes along then and she, with her unique sword, also has far range fighting skill so along with her perfect acrobatics ability, she's in her zone in fighting Hantengu.

Again, these are just my speculation though 👁️👁️

(they also did so WELL on Muichiro's smirk, capturing the sinister smirk and mocking eyes)

Trying to get familiar with krita

Y'all don't understand the sudden rush of ideas when Muichiro said "Have we met before?" about Nezuko, like not in the meeting Hashira way, more of a 'years ago' way. Just to fuel my Muinezu headcanon tank let's goo 👁️👁️

I am fully convinced that Ginko has a lot of influence on Muichiro.

My boy waking up with amnesia and very little emotions/personality and then gets himself a sassy crow that doesn't take crap from others. She ABSOLUTELY would whispers in his ears "hit that weak ass punk" and Muichiro will do so.

Local news, a grown up demon has been defeated by the sass of a 14 years old boy

Can we please see more of your KNY Roleswap AU?

What was his name again? That boy had a twin too, right? They were with the Kakushi, but right now, as Nezuko wiped away her sweats, she noticed that this twin was alone and wasn't in an attire like the kakushi. Instead of the brown uniform set with masks, the boy wore something resembling a slayer's. He was sitting by himself on the porch, and despite the cloudy eyes, his eyebrows were furrowing as if he was in a deep thought.

Nezuko decided to greet him.

" Excuse me. " She said with a bright smile. " Hello, I am Nezuko. "

The boy snapped out of his trance, turning to look at her. He blinked, not responding to her for a moment before nodding.

" I know you. You're the slayer that carries a demon around. "

The girl scratched her cheek, her smile turned nervous. " Guess I don't really have a good reputation now, do I? You're one of the twin right? I've seen you working with the Kakushi. "

" Yes. I am Tokitou Muichiro. " The boy introduced himself.

Nezuko took a seat next to him. " If I may ask, why are you wearing a different uniform than before? Did the fabric tear or something? I can fix it! I am very good with needles and sewing! " She patted her chest confidently.

Muichiro tilted his head, a ghostly smile on his face as he looked down to his uniform. " The Moon Hashira gave it to me. He's...a relative. " His expression dropped, a rather sad pout made with his lips. " When my twin and I were toddlers, our parents were attacked by a demon. The Moon Hashira saved us and took us in. He started to train us to become slayers but then we decided to stop halfway and instead became a kakushi instead. "

" I am not one to judge, but why stopping halfway? " Nezuko wondered.

Muichiro sighed. " My brother suddenly claimed that he didn't want to become a slayer -- he also forbid me to become one too. The Moon Hashira -- Kokushibou -- respected out decision and let us be. But I know Kokushibou was disappointed. He saw potential in me and my twin. This uniform was a handmade for me when I become a slayer. It didn't happen, but I am wearing this right now because my kakushi uniform got dirty and is currently being hung under the sun. This is the only one clothing I have for now. "

" I see. " The dark-haired girl hummed. " So...since you went along with your brother, I guess you didn't want to become a slayer? "

Muichiro flinched, a single sweat dropped. He bit his lips and looked away, earning a suspicious look from Nezuko. She leaned forward a little, trying to get a better look on the boy.

"...You want to become a slayer? "

With hesitance, and very slowly, Muichiro nodded, glancing at her from his shoulders.

Nezuko frowned. " Then why didn't you say anything to your brother? To Kokushibou-san? "

" It's...not that easy, Nezuko. My brother -- Yuichiro -- I know that he means well and he always takes care of me...but he has a rather violent reaction. I am sure he would be angry if he knows that I am still willing to become a slayer. "

" Have you try talking to him? "

" I shrunk at the high volume of his voice whenever he yells. "

" Well, this is unfair to you! " Nezuko huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. " If your brother can't even listen to you, then I am going to make him! "

Muichiro's eyes widened at the sight of the girl going to her feet, a stern expression on her face as she placed her hands on her hips. He unconsciously grabbed the sleeve of her shirt, tugging her back down.

" I don't think that would be wise. " He reasoned, still surprised at how she immediately decided to face Yuichiro to defend him.

Nezuko turned, slipped her hands around the boy's hands and held it firmly. " If it's not me who do the talking, then you will! You have a voice to defend your right! It's the heart that drives the people, Muichiro. If your heart tells you to follow the path of being a slayer, then follow your heart! "

She patted his shoulder encouragingly. " You can do this! I wish you good luck! All right, I need to go back to training or Douma-san will hunt me down. See you again, Muichiro! Oh, and if your brother still refuses to listen to you, then tell me and I'll go straight to him."

The girl turned and walked away. Muichiro stuttered a little and stumbled in his steps as he stood up. " Wait! W-What will you do if you have to go see my brother? "

Nezuko turned around. " I'll make sure to talk some sense into him! Everyone has the right to voice out their opinions. You have the right to decide what you want to be, Muichiro. You can be whatever you want to. No one else should tell you what you have to be. Just you. "

When she gave him a smile, it was as if the air was knocked out of his lungs. Is it the lighting? She looked as twice as beautiful than the first time he saw her. Muichiro felt his neck getting warmer, noticing there was an increasing beating of his heart in his chest.

" Take care! " Nezuko waved her arm, disappearing into a corner.

Muichiro looked down to his uniform, his hands twisting the fabric in his grips. He closed his eyes and steadied his breathing. One last deep inhale and exhale, he opened back his eyes and a flash of determination were seen in his eyes.

Time to seek Yuichiro.

It's them!!! I can't wait!!

The first time he called her that was when he regained conscious after the demon event with his brother. Thankfully, that was only two of them. The second time, Sora had to cover her face as she blushed, screaming internally that a colleague of hers and the Insect Hashira had heard the nickname Muichiro has for her.

( of course, Shinobu is not letting this go. Mui has no memory of doing so and apologizes later )

I might make a series of this. Anyway, the cool colour duo. ( Suggested by @demonslayedher )

Everytime Muichiro got injured, he just zoomed in the butterfly estate, looking for Aoi. She saw him and just understood immediately.

Aoi was belittle for not joining in slaying demons after the final selection by some other slayers but after Muichiro gave them 'friendly' warning, no one made fun on Aoi again.

Muichiro thought Inosuke was being a nuisance to Aoi lately but she stopped him. It was then Mui realized there's something going on between those two. He's okay with it, but he doesn't like that Inosuke keeps finishing Aoi's tempura.

Aoi is quite envy of Mui, who is much younger than her but has gain the title of a Hashira. Muichiro assures her that this does not make her less anything and he respects her. Kanae and Shinobu are relief to see Aoi and Muichiro friendship.

I just want to say that this is one of my favorites rare ship

Can we see the reincarnations of Tokito and Sora meeting again?

In the modern world, Sora becomes a music writer and she plays musical instruments by the street sometimes. Muichiro, now a successful novelist ( he writes the dreams he keeps having where there were demons in the past ), sees Sora for the first time, hits with nostalgic and falls in love again.

Unknowingly to him, Sora loves his books and is one of his fans. So when there's a signing event, she goes in line to get his signature, sees him, and feels warm and fuzzy inside.

They meet again, have some talks, and really like each other companies so they hook off a few months later.

He likes to hug her after having a mission

And he does not like to share

A Kakushi OC!

Yamasaki Sora, she/her

Extra notes :

She's a bit chubby but moves very fast and swiftly. Kind and respectful, so lots of people like her including Gyomei and Uzui. An orphan, accused for stealing and was saved by Amane. Since then Sora served the corps and the Ubuyashiki family.
