Until this episode, i kind of felt empathy for demons, whom Tanjirou killed, but i don't feel sorry for that spider girl. She deserved it. Shinobu is one of my favourite characters, glad that you guys like her as well! :)
Haha, Ash called it when she wondered if Rui really was dead. Giyu showed his awesomeness by creating his own 11th water breathing form. Joey-brah (don’t know how your name is spelled) made a great point about the house not catching on fire too when the demon burns as it’s strung up near the top... it’s made of wood, after all. You guys didn’t mention it, but I love the music whenever Shinobu is on... the horror type of music as she’s sweetly interrogating the Sister-demon, and the high tempo music when she’s in combat mode. The demons disintegrate when you kill them, so you wouldn’t be able to collect their eyeballs (plus normal eyeballs will probably all become squished over time as they lose their moisture). Even if you could, you wouldn’t have a problem about missing numbers, as if one gets killed, another would take his place and eventually you’ll have another line up so you can go after the missing number. That being said, it may not be so easy to kill all of them to get their eyeballs, otherwise, there were be no 12 Demon Moons at all. As for the discussion of demons forgetting their pasts, it seems like they lose some of their memories in their transition from being human to being demons. Way back in the Final Selection, in the Hands Demon flashback, he first wondered why he bit his brother, then he forgot he had a brother. The Mother Spider demon remembered someone who used to look upon her with kind eyes, but couldn’t picture his face, and wondered what happened to him, when the visuals show him bloodied (because she probably killed and ate him). Without this kind of amnesia, they would retain too much of their humanity... or a conscience... That shows how special demons like Nezuko and Tamayo are.
She called it but her reasoning was way off. She said that the other demon girl got up after being slice to bits but what they don't know is that a demon can't kill other demon. If tanjiro was successful in.cutting off riu head, riu would be dead because only the sword and sunlight can kill demons.
So far you’ve only been introduced to 4 Pillars. Zenitsus Sensei(Grams), Urokadaki(Tanjiros Sensei), Shinobu(Insect Hashira) and Giyu(Water Hasira). Hasiras are also referred to as Pillars.
