Pig Physics

it's actually amazing how hard we won

>>280847316
No we didn't our franchise is getting milked instead of getting pumped and dumped by Ufo in three years.

What the fuck? Its got pig physics.

My little brother has never read the manga. His favorite character is Rengoku, but his next favorites are Shinobu, Gyomei, and Muichiro. HAHAHAHA! It's over for him.

>>280846739
Cope more. It's a FACT that Japanese cinephiles harbors resentment towards anime and its dominance over the Japanese box office. Confirmed via multiple Yahoo Japan, eiga.com editorials, and operator comments. Art-house and prestige live-action films are getting squeezed out by anime saturation, especially those big seasonal anime drops like Demon Slayer and Detective Conan that are just TV episodes cut together.

There is a counter-cultural undercurrent in Japan’s filmgoer scene. Cinephiles absolutely do make an effort to support highbrow domestic films like Kokuhou as a response to what they see as "anime glut."

>This time for sure! Nevermind you Superman.

>>280847581
You reading comments online means shit jeremy.
Like your kimetsu crusade, kokuhou is doing great numbers because it's a good movie, not because of some crusade.
Most non anime movies still bomb.

>What IF Muzan was TRAPPED and BETRAYED by Upper Moons for 1000 YEARS?

>>280847536
He's got Gyomei's haori. Poor guy is going to lose one favorite character every movie back to back lmao

>the boar head dude is actually the pretty boy of he group
many such cases...
what a formulaic franchise

>>280847643
What did the upper moons think was going to happen if/when Muzan destroyed all the demon slayers, all the sun breathers, and found the blue spider lily and evolved the ability to not burn in sunlight? He probably would have just insta-killed all of them so he was the only demon left.

>>280847643
Wtf is this?

>>280847253 (OP)
What if Inosuke was actually a demon boar disguised as a human boy?

>>280846818
>she does
Honestly that's debatable. We only see Nakime teleporting them out. When teleporting them in they seem to come at close to randomized positions.
The times we see demons witnessing the space around them changing (s1 episode 26) only happened when Muzan was around, meaning what actually happened was that he commanded their minds to freeze while Nakime moved them.

>>280847581
This just seems more like the Japanese equivalent of American cinephiles complaining about superhero films dominating the box office.

>>280847727
I think Douma and Akaza if given the chance would defect from Muzan before that happened. But Muzan would suspect it + mind reading and he has his guard dog Kokushibo if anything happened.

>>280847643
O M G
This animation is so peak on god, demon slayers is fr anime of the decade

>>280847727
They aren't allowed to think about that.

>>280847513
>My Hero Academia gave Deku the cuck ending
I don't hate MHA or anything, but what the fuck was Hori thinking with that?
Naruto was a big inspiration for him, and that series ended with actually confirming the main couple (Naruhina).
...Why was Hori unable to do that? Why make the romance look so bad at the end like that??

>>280847885
I've seen weaker implications of romance, this is just a meme that keeps thriving on the general shitposting spirit.

>>280847885
Worse, he made him a confirmed VIRGIN.

>>280847727
Did you ever notice that his recruitment and employee evaluation process eliminates everyone that isn't deranged

>>280847316
It's actually amazing how hard you've been samefagging for this dead and forgotten series

>>280847885
because he wanted to do the wanky thing of have deku be a teacher for as much time as boku no hero had been running for and profoundly didn't give a shit what anyone might infer from that

>>280848071
No it's amazing how hard YOU'VE been doing that, thank you for your service in keeping these threads active

>No it's amazing how hard YOU'VE been doing that
Nope, your samefaggotry is as plain as day. Hence why I repeatedly called you out yesterday. It's that easy to use Desuarchive to look through your schizo posts. Sad that I'm the only person willing to entertain you, Black Clover mutt? Rofl.

>>280848399
>literally immediately confuses me with someone else
You cannot make this shit up

>>280848330
I love this version of Muzan.

One is a genuine psychopath, narcissist and egomaniac, sick to his head, with no regard for others.
The other is Muzan.

>>280848031
Honestly, I still can’t believe this franchise is about to fully wrap up.
Feels like just yesterday when Chapter 1 dropped.

Back then, I just thought, “Huh, weird little series Jump’s using to fill the AssClass slot now that it’s ending.”
Had no idea it’d turn into all this.

>>280847253 (OP)
I love this retarded pigboy.

>>280847885
It really looked like Hori went out of his way to shit on deku
>that shot of his wage slave work shoes stepping
>all their action figures are together on frame in front of their heroics on television
>deku is literally out of frame, completely alone
Like, it's genuinely a well done chapter form art perspective
it's just shitting on deku so hard lol

>>280848450
the guy is actually schizophrenic

>>280848256
don't forget the anime adaption that will have some extra scenes + the epilogue in 2031

>>280848817
I wonder where the second movie will end. My guess is a cliff hanger of Muzan becoming free

>>280848844
99% yea if they are wrapping up both moons next film.

>>280848844
definitely some sort of Muzan fight cliffhanger

>>280848844
>final movie is just Muzan slug fest for hours
>literally peak fucking animation as fucking EVERYONE tries to bring him down
>we get a nice cozy epilogue
imagine if the story ends with a Wani reveal with a mask over her face as she thanks the audience
fucking
kino

>>280848984
Apparently the first movie is already like 90% endless action so I can't imagine what Koku and Muzan will be like.

>>280849022
Nah, there's quite a bit of downtime, and obviously FLASHBACKS.

>>280847727
He was a cunt who only made demons for his own gain, but he also acknowledged when those demons were useful to him. He showed favor to his UM, he genuinely liked Akaza/Gyokko/Gyutaro, and he praised Nakime for her abilities. He probably would have let them live, maybe even let them chill or cut contact.

I'm gonna cry like a bitch when Movie 3 flashback kicks in.

What would Muzan do if he won? Kills slayers, get sun immunity ect. Would he become the god emperor of mankind or chill out somewhere sunbathing?

>>280849400

>>280849421
look at our boy go!
in his element!
staying in his lane!

>>280849389
he'd still worry about shit that might be able to kill him. the whole point is that he wasted his entire life on death

>>280848927
I think they'll just cut it on the aftermath of koku, if they even show the fodder slayers gathering around muzan's cocoon people will know what has to happen

>>280848817
the #RedrawInosuke meme is one of the best things that has ever come out of twitter, good times

>>280849389
I genuinely don't know. At that point he might literally just start killing people openly. just declare his existence'
and then probably eventually die in a nuke lmao

>>280849389
He will never be satisfied. He might settle down for a while but then new threats will emerge. When he meets the sorcerers in the 2000s he will view them as a threat to his existance and will challenge the likes of Gojo and Sukuna.

>>280849560
>>280849400
I loved the trend of inosuke being drawn fucking everywhere

>>280849640
I can see him basically coming to the Japanese government as a God during WW2 and giving them an out. Imagine Japan's insane brutality soldiers but now they are immortal demons

>>280849683
you'd have to wonder if he has any pride in being japanese

>>280849653
same, love that madman

>>280849740
>heian nobility
Japan didn't even exist when he was born.
He'd fuck off to america and have fun with their technological development.

>I...am...forgotten...

>>280849906
>anime only Tengen fans seeing him aura farm in the movie only for that to amount to absolutely fuck all in the next two movies
kek

>>280849906
Why aren't his wifes pregnant? is he gay?

>>280849884
In reality, Japan as a centralized state was already established way back in the Nara period — centuries before the Heian era.
But the whole idea of people actually thinking, “I’m Japanese! I take pride in being Japanese!”
that kind of national identity and collective belonging didn’t really take hold until the Taisho era —
which, funnily enough, is exactly when KnY takes place.

>>280849980
How do you know they aren't?

>>280849389
maybe become an scholar? he seemed to have some scientific curiosity even if only was to develop his cure

>>280849906
I never would've guessed he would end up getting the best fight scene.
Giyu vs Akaza is cinema too but still him vs Gyutaro is top tier.

>>280849906
Ill never forget the Chad Hashira

>>280849980
Wani was afraid of fujo's revenge who were dreaming of Tengen impregnate Zenitsu

>>280850116
Giyuu vs Akaza is better.
WAY better.

>>280850173
I like how often that sequence has super fast and violent kneck-level cuts that Akaza dodges, like Giyuu is really obviously swinging to kill on every attack he can. It sucks when swordfights get too flippy dippy and stunty without any sense of killing intent (no irony intended)

>>280850323
I love the massive amounts of limbs getting chopped left and right, amazing attention to detail.
His final compass was just amazing too.

>>280849980
His first child is born shortly after Muzan's defeat, so no, one of them may actually be pregnant right then and there after his retirement.

>>280847364
>getting milked
getting milked is good, incel

>>280850353
His sex drive rubbed on Tanjirou or his kamado must impregnate genes awakaned.
I wonder how many kids he had until he died.

>>280849906
He is the gigachad who lived a full life with 3 hot wives. He was the only hashira able to go against any of the UMs without a mark or other sword jesus hacks, even if it was #6. I think he was about as strong as Sanemi and Obanai.

What if Muzan won, killed all the demons except Uppers? Fast forward to modern times.
>Muzan
>Untouchable tycoon, private islands, high society parties, maintaining his perfect human form and indulging himself.

>Kokushibo

Why is she such a goddamn entertainer?

>>280850565
Blood, violence and murder makes her play better, unironically that's her backstory.

>>280850565
All thats left is to see the demon band that is playing the soundtracks in the background.

>>280850565
Real talk, why did she activate the fountain at that moment?
You can kinda argue the moving platforms were meant to mess with the Hashira, but the fountain?
I genuinely can’t think of any reason other than her just being a movie director going full spectacle mode.

>>280850872
She became the anime director's self insert.

>>280850872
Canon answer:
She was taking a shit and she was flushing the toilet.

>>280850565
The CGI team at Ufotable definitely hates her.

>>280851088
>had them spent months develop cutting edge 3d technology just to finish the fucking movie on time

I made a chart. Is this an accurate assessment of the characters?

It's so obvious this guy was supposed to be the new UM5 but Gotouge ran out of time and was too busy dealing with real life stuff to bother with it.

>>280851164
Your tamayo is wrong.
Boundless sex appeal during muzan's fight.

>>280847637
Cope more, loser. You name-dropping me like a jilted ex who's still mad I didn’t text back won't work on me. Second, what do (You) think you're doing? Rofl. Reading tweets, 5ch, box office reports, theater chain updates, etc. It's all "reading things online." The difference is that I'm pulling from industry analysis and Japanese media sources. You're pulling from raw feelings and whatever chart looks good in the moment.

There are ACTUAL editorials discussing:
>Cinephile resentment toward anime saturation
>The squeeze on arthouse/live-action prestige cinema
>Distributors complaining about lost screen slots during anime bomb events
>The theater programming chokehold by IPs like Demon Slayer and Conan
This isn’t some "conspiracy", it's part of the real discourse in Japanese cinema culture. So yeah, Kokuhou is being elevated in part by cinephile response to their resentment of anime. That's sociological market behavior.
>Most non anime movies still bomb.
Right, and most anime movies bomb too unless they're top IPs. That's not a counterpoint, that's just statistical filler. The actual point is that non-anime films are being actively boxed out of prime release windows and formats by mega-franchise saturation. Whether they succeed or fail, the market is warped. You saying shit like "t-they still bomb!!" is like saying "indie games don't sell!" while Call of Duty hoards every display shelf. It's not an argument, it's just saying "big things are big."

>>280851178
Well the next movie will deliver on that, don't you worry.

>>280851206
Where is the better spot for her?

>>280851235
Make a dommy mommy tier?

>>280850565
>“Hell yeah! Nothin’ beats the sound of a guitar solo right after killing some bastard I hate!”

She’s been like this ever since she was human.
What are you expexting?

>>280851178
I guess it could have worked, but what in the world made it "obvious" to you lol?

>>280851164
>unnamed green clothes waifu spammer made an entire chart to stealth shill her
It is a good chart though.

>>280847612
>Nevermind Superman.
Oh, let's talk about Superman since your samefaggot ass brought it up, lmfao.
>Japan
Made $4.8M despite being sabotaged by Aniplex/Sony's screen grab.
>Worldwide
$426M and growing.
>Strong legs in Asia and Europe
>Surviving release sabotage and still pulling decent box office traction
And Superman is still pulling more globally than Mugen Train ever did and that was without Japan carrying it, no IMAX domination, and zero manipulative tactics. Meanwhile Aniplex blew the entire marketing budget, hijacked the national holiday, vacuumed premium formats, and still couldn’t outrun Mugen Train's currency-adjusted shadow.

And if a frontloaded anime bomb needs to cripple its competition to stay afloat, that's not dominance, that's desperation.

>>280851324
>sabotaged
It bombed, plain and simple.
Much like f4 will.

>>280851178
That would overlap with UM1, so there’s no way Gotouge would ever go for it.
Plus, it would totally break the lore about the Upper Moons not changing for hundreds of years.

>>280851269
>what in the world made it "obvious" to you lol?
Simple
>relative of a named important character
>unique appearance
>ominous/antagonistic implicated backstory
Can't think of any similar character like that. Also UM5 spot is just mysteriously left open but UM4 and UM6 are filled. They definitely planned to do something but abandoned it due to time issues.

>>280851362
>That would overlap with UM1, so there’s no way Gotouge would ever go for it.
Literally everything "overlaps" with UM1. I mean I can't even count on my fingers and toes combined how many pairs of siblings are in this series that have contrasting roles.
>Plus, it would totally break the lore about the Upper Moons not changing for hundreds of years.
Bruh, what? Then Nakime and Kaigaku already break that """lore"""

If these are the top 3 demons, who are the top 3 Hashira?

>>280851364
It's still really vague and he had no actual role in the flashbacks, just that he was an asshole. You could argue UM5 was left open just to shit on Kaigaku, that he wasn't good enough to fill in the next closest rank and had to settle for last place. He was literally called a stopgap upper moon.

>>280851411
>who are the top 3 Hashira
People don't want to admit it, but Tengen, Mitsuri, and Shinobu are the top 3 hashira

>>280851444
You lost me on Tengen dude. The other two are believable.

>>280851178
Honestly it's funnier as is
>Kaigaku is such a shitter that Muzan wouldn't give him the position of UM5, even though there's no one else to fill it

>>280850695
Yeah that was absurd. There’s no world in which she wasn’t being protected by UM1 at least in the rare situations Muzan couldn’t keep her close, certainly not in a combat situation.

>>280851411
Rock
Wind
Love

>>280851435
Muzan juiced up Enmu with a bunch of his blood to elevate his status as LM1. Muzan could have done that with any demon to make them UM5, but he doesn't because the author didn't want to bother with another fight, even though they had the perfect tie-in with Tengen's brother. Kaigaku is actually more of an asspull antagonist than Tengen's brother would be for him.

>>280851411
Stone, wind, serpent. It's not very close either. The next closest would probably be sound if you ignored power creep after he lost his arm and eye.

>>280851411
Gyomei, Sanemi, and either Giyuu or Obanai

>>280851164
>adult nezuko below regular nezuko
>literal who mugen train in the top
>uzui's wives that low
I refuse to believe an actual person made this tier list. That's some astoundingly shit taste

>>280851490
People sleep on Gayuu too much.

>>280851411
>"Top 3 Hashira"

Lmao no.
It’s literally just Himejima at the top, Shinobu at the bottom, and everyone else in the middle tier soup.

>>280851468
Funny but not lore accurate. Yushiro is right when he says Zenitsu would have gotten one-tapped by Kaigaku if it had been a year later. Kaigaku with a year of training and eating humans would probably be UM2 potential.

>>280851346
>bombed
$314M globally in its first week. Soft reboot after an imploded franchise (DCEU) and without China (at first). Heavily throttled in Japan (intentionally under-screened during the Infinity Castle blitz). Solid holds in Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Favorable WOM building, especially internationally.

That's not a bomb, it's a measured rebuild and it's working especially considering the DC brand was radioactive 18 months ago. Meanwhile, the film it was allegedly “beaten by” needed:
>A national holiday (Marine Day)
>IMAX saturation
>Fan-event screenings
>Merch-tied bundles
>Recycled content in a fanservice finale package to build up hype before the movie
And it still won’t match Mugen Train’s legs. If Infinity Castle had opened the same way Superman did, you'd be calling it a flop. But because it's anime, your standards vanish because anime fans have extraordinarily low standards.
>Much like f4 will.
This is just pre-cope. You're predicting doom for Fantastic Four before it even drops. That's how insecure you are, rofl. You need these films to fail to make Demon Slayer look good which is like saying:
>"My team's win only matters if your team loses their next match even though it hasn’t happened yet!"
Pathetic. Also, since this movie is a set-up for the upcoming Avengers movie next year, people will absolutely watch it. People might skip a Demon Slayer movie, but people don't want to miss out on an Avengers movie. Lots of people lament over missing out on Endgame, and this movie has a budget of $1 billion dollars. Disney don't fuck with this much money unless they're sure it'll be an event.

>>280851411
Can I be real for a sec?
There’s no way Akaza is stronger than Hantengu. No shot.
Even Himejima might not be able to solo that freak, and that’s saying something.

>>280851534
What do you mean not lore accurate? Kaigaku did the kneel meme and begged #1 to become a demon. He's the only demon slayer to ever do this, even if he had potential he was still seen as walking garbage by Kokushibo. Kokushibo made the same decision calmly and without being forced into it, and it took him 3 whole days to become a demon. That kind of person would always be given the lowest spot and be forced to prove himself before being treated without disdain.

>>280851673
How do you think a blood battle between them goes? I think Zohakuten would have a hart time catching Akaza.

>>280851691
He's the successor to the lightning hashira with a powerful breathing style. You're batshit if you think Muzan wouldn't highly value someone like that. He starts as UM6 because he's so powerful and has so much potential to go higher. What's this weird headcanon that Muzan and the other demons dislike him come from? Kokushibo made him a demon not out of pity, but because he also saw the potential, like he offered to Muichiro. UMs aren't out here just giving anyone and everyone Muzan's blood.

>>280851534
I kinda just saw that as him being dick, on that argument’s sake, Zenitsu would have a year to train as well

Coomer breathing, 3rd form, endless edging

>>280851720
Yeah Akaza claps Hantengu. Hantengu's entire schtick is that he's an emotional bitch with split personality emotional clones. Akaza's schtick is he can sense hostile emotions and counter them with ease, and only people without hostile intent can defeat him (which makes sense for Doma because he's an emotionless psychopath)

>>280851720
In a straight 1v1 between Zohakuten and Akaza, Akaza probably wins.
But if we’re talking about overall threat level from a human perspective, Hantengu is way more dangerous — no contest.

>>280851815
Depending on the range of Akaza's sensing he might not be able to find Hantengu. So either a stalemate or one of them runs out of stamina. Leaning towards Hantengu in that regard.

>>280851806
It can partly be him being a dick, but it's also partly true. Kaigaku wasn't going to be UM6 forever. He was going to climb further than that for sure. I actually don't even know why Nakime gets the UM4 spot because Iguro blatantly says her blood demon art isn't deadly it's just annoying, she can keep them far away from her but can't really kill them. I guess she's UM4 because if Kaigaku was then it would be a stretch to say Zenitsu could solo him already.

>>280851815
>I've never seen a being that doesn't emit killing intent, not even a baby
This includes Doma who whipped his ass. If that was how Doma won a blood battle, that would have had to have been part of Akaza's reaction.

He probably just won with overwhelming strength.

If Gyokko wanted to he probably could have taken Upper 4 spot from Hantengu. His abilities would be especially annoying for Hantengu who is trying to hide. Gyokko can teleport him out of emotion's reach and kill him with ease.

>>280851673
>No shot.
You can swear here, you don't have to use SFW twitch streamer speak to not offend advertisers

Enough about Bitchkaza

In a demon vs. demon fight, Douma is the strongest.
Like Tamayo said, battles between demons are basically pointless since their regeneration is endless.

But Douma can bypass that.
He can freeze the wounds after slicing other demon with his fans, stopping their regeneration entirely.

So even if he can’t kill them on the spot, he can just cut off their limbs, freeze them, and completely neutralize them.
That’s checkmate in a demon-on-demon scenario.

>>280852100
>Like Tamayo said, battles between demons are basically pointless since their regeneration is endless.
I think blood battles have rules like "you win when you sever the opponents 'critical' head"

>>280852100
Except Koku has a super-nichirin sword and could just behead him

>>280847812
It is like US cinephiles complaining about superhero oversaturation. But ehat makes the Japanese's case more justified and worse is that
>1. Anime films aren't cinema-exclusive productions
Unlike MCU films, which are created for theaters, the majority of these anime movies are extensions of weekly TV shows, often even reusing animation and story arcs that already aired. Infinity Castle is part of a TV series finale not a standalone theatrical film. It's literally TV content being shoved into every IMAX and 4DX screen. So Japanese cinephiles have more reason to be frustrated when actual cinema (like Kokuhou) gets shoved aside by repackaged broadcast episodes.
>2. Theater saturation is WAY more aggressive
Infinity Castle had 40+ screenings in one theater on opening day. That's not "popular movie gets lots of screens", that's cinematic colonization. It pushed out smaller domestic films and even limited the legs of other successful Japanese franchises like Kamen Rider.
>3. Runtime bottlenecks
Unlike superhero fatigue, that built up over a decade, anime fatigue in Japanese theaters came fast and furious. Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, Spy x Family, Haikyuu every single one getting premium theatrical releases annually. Cinephiles and casual moviegoers are openly criticized how theaters are becoming TV content dumps.

>>280852147
It’s probably enough to just restrain the other demon and leave them incapacitated.
That still counts as a win.
Like what Rui did to his “family” — if you just tie a demon up in a nice sunny spot and wait till morning,
that’s one way a demon can kill another

Infinity Castle had 40+ screenings in one theater on opening day. That's not "popular movie gets lots of screens", that's cinematic colonization. It pushed out smaller domestic films and even limited the legs of other successful Japanese franchises like Kamen Rider.
>3. Runtime bottlenecks
The 2.5 hour runtime makes it less profitable per screen per day. Theaters hate that long runtimes slow down turnover, and it cannibalizes space for more efficient showings of other films. Cinephiles are not just mad because it’s anime, they're mad because anime's economic footprint damages diversity in the cinema ecosystem.
>4. Anime fatigue
Unlike superhero fatigue, that built up over a decade, anime fatigue in Japanese theaters came fast and furious. Demon Slayer, JJK, One Piece, Spy x Family, Haikyuu every single one getting premium theatrical releases annually. Cinephiles and casual moviegoers are openly criticizing how theaters are becoming TV content dumps.

>>280852293
Naw, I agree with the other anon, a blood duel probably requires you to cut off their head or critical point. Because cutting the critical point with a nichirin sword is how they would actually be killed, so to prove you're stronger than them you have to prove that you would survive a fight with a demon slayer longer than them, by "killing" them. Just incapacitating them doesn't prove much, because that's how demons kill other demons, not how demon slayers kill them.

>>280852389
Hot take.
Douma is faster than Kokushibo.

>>280852389
Do we know how this happened?
Did Douma become UM6 then immediately challenge Akaza for UM2, or did he have to fight and win against 5,4,and 3 beforehand in separate blood battles?

>>280849389
Realistically he's getting gunned down by america and the european powers once they discover there is a immortal in japan

>>280852515
I assume you can't fight someone who you are not next to. So he would have to beat 5,4,3 and 2.

>shinobu can't decapitate demons

How does that work?

FACT
>Gyokko was only operating at 50% power due to fignting on land with no nearby water supply.

>>280852605
>author can't power scale
And water is wet.

>>280852652
okay that might be the best fucking art of him

>>280852605
She's fast so she can use speed to power her thrusts. To cut you need some upper arm strength sadly.

>>280852605
>How does that work?
thrusting with a sword in this anime is not like in European fencing or sword fighting, it's like Japanese sword thrusting. You put the hilt of the sword against your chest and rush forward. And the fact is that the person with the biggest most firmest breasts can thrust the hardest. And what people don't know is that Shinobu is actually 2 cup sizes larger than Mitsuri, but her uniform contains them better, so she can thrust the best out of all demon slayers.

>>280852605
womanlets work in mysterious ways

FACT
>Ten-Thousand Gliding Clayfish would kill Tanjiro, Nezuko and Genya.

>>280851673
Hantengu’s mechanics were overcomplicated just to force Tanjiro into teamplay.
That’s on Gotouge for not setting up enough enemies in advance.
Upper Moons should’ve been like, ten demons minimum.

>>280853029
Nah that was the smarter move. It's why he cut 4 of the 6 lower moons with the based crossdresser scene.

>>280851673
Only Demons that can get "solo" killed are 6 and 5 by marked slayers. Gyomei can probably kill Gyutaro and Daki without a mark because his weapon would be really good against them. Not to mention that he's well seasoned has better senses and can physically overpower Gyutaro.

>>280848450
>>280848806
Shut up, you Black Clover monkey. You're the one who spends all day autistically samefagging in your shitty threads about your poorly written, poorly drawn manga when everyone else don't care. I'd bet if you remove the IP counter, it's mostly just two Discord faggots talking to themselves in the mirror. So really, I'm keeping your threads on life-support. Lmao.

Stick some iron in your mouth and pull the trigger.

>>280853165
Marked Gyomei could take out 4 solo as long as the real body isn't in some ridiculous cheese scenario.

>>280852908
What would happen if Nezuko got hit by that?

>>280853200

>>280853251
Oh, sure. Hantengu’s best option would be to have Urogi fly the main body to safety.

>>280853272
Screenshot means jack 4chanX allows you to mark and unmark any post as (You). And one guy with five tabs and different browsers open can LARP.

>>280853326
LMAO this is like when in Lotr they didn’t use eagles to fly to mordor.

>>280849906
>Black Clover out of nowhere
Somebody call the men in white to take him away.

>>280847581
>Japanese cinephiles harbors resentment towards anime
I mean would too if I was them.

Imagine being a serious filmmaker in Japan. You spend years writing, storyboarding, casting, choreographing, rehearsing, sweating over cinematography only to be shoved off the schedule by some TV episodes with louder sound effects and more sparkle filters which is not just disrespectful but an industrial sabotage. It's cinematic gentrification.

>>280853341
Cope

>Black Clover out of nowhere
Somebody call the men in white to take him away.

I like Black Clover, but Undead Unluck is better.

Handjob from Shinobu or Titjob from Mitsuri
You decide

>>280853354
It's always dumb when you introduce flight and immortality into a situation. Why didn't Hantengu send out Zohakuten on long distance missions while he enjoyed a beer at home?

>>280853608
They're both ugly as fuck. I cannot for the life of me, fathom why anyone would feel sexual stimulation from these hideously drawn character designs.
>>280853578
Undead Unluck was unfortunately too original for Japanese and they naturally hate exiting their comfort zones.

>>280847253 (OP)
Can pigs really rearrange their internal organs to avoid attacks?

>>280853641
I love Hant but Croc gave him too many busted abilities to keep track of. Like with teleporting other emotiont to itself.

>>280853513
Good luck being a young, aspiring Japanese director trying to pitch an original screenplay when the execs are busy greenlighting the My Hero Academia: Hero Intern Side Quest movie. Even Hirokazu Kore-eda, who's internationally celebrated, sometimes has to go abroad (like Korea or France) for funding and relevance. And he's a Palme d'Or winner.

>>280849906
>>280849944
Are they going to gift this man anime-exclusive fights against fodder demons? It's probably the best way to show what's going on outside and it'll give him something to do. Same with Rengoku's alcoholic dad.

>>280850136
three wives, and they all get along with each other

>>280853758
I think Upper 5 fight would be cool, BUT. It would kinda break the story no? If Muzan finds out where Nezuko is guarded it’s GG he just bee lines there and eats her.

>>280853824
Extend his sleep. He sleepy.

>>280853753
>>280853513
I think placing more value on animation of all kinds is great, it's extremely annoying how limited it is perceived in the west. The part of japanese cinema that I find absurd as a foreigner is the tokusatsu and kaiju shit. Like it blows my fucking mind that Anno squandered the Rebuilds as a fuck you to his fans and nothing more than a cash farm for other projects he has passion for, and those "other projects" are trash like the 1000th rehash of gojira.

>>280847643
>>280853865
Bro he’s throthing at the mouth to fuck some shit up. He’s wide awake enjoying the carnage.

who the fuck is kaigaku

>>280853957
My boyfriend

>>280853758
Doing that would piss the fans right off.
Padding with pointless anime-original scenes is one of the most hated things in today’s Japanese otaku culture.
Ufotable already caught a ton of flak for doing exactly that in the last season — and yeah, people were not happy.

Animate it!

>>280854073
Nta, but if it’s just some regular demons then it’s wouldn’t take longer than two minutes. And they could blend it with canon scenes of outside.

>>280847253 (OP)
When in the Taisho era does this take place? Do you think Tanjiro lived long enough to see WWII?

By the way, why didn’t Gotouge give us a special side story this time like she did with Mugen Train?

>>280854636
Ugly bastards are so lucky.

do you think the other demons are embarrassed to be aroud akaza and koyuki in hell

>>280853824
>If Muzan finds out where Nezuko is guarded it’s GG he just bee lines there and eats her.
Muzan spends the entire next two movies trying to get away from the demon slayers, fighting them or running from them, and fails. He can figure out where Nezuko is all night long, but his scrawny ass ain't getting to her anytime soon.

>>280854073
>people weren't happy about the Muichiro paper plane scene

>>280853608
Cunnyjob from the Kiyo, Naho, and Sumi

You know, if the Hashira were truly committed, they should have let Tamayo turn them into demons

>>280850565
I hope her backstory gets animated

>>280855148
What's her backstory? She was the best biwa player in the country, except people stopped coming to her performances because a different biwa player started doing shows half-naked, and Nakime refused to expose herself like that, so she became a demon.

>>280855314
Her husband was an asshole who gambled their stuff away, and she murdered him. She realized that killing people made her play better, so she became a serial killer musician. She tried to kill Muzan and impressed him. Its a pretty based backstory

>>280855373
I can fix her

i like kimetsu no yaiba

>>280855743
Based. Me too.

>>280855743
You're a real kimetsu fan? Name every demon.

You forgot the SPEED DEMON from the Rengoku special.

>>280855743
Well I love Kimetsu no Yaiba
Chapters 178 and 179 are burnt into my brain

>>280855066
She apparently had many failed attempted with terminally ill patients before Yushiro, probably a low percentage diceroll
Koku also had exposition with kaigaku saying that breath users take a long time to turn demon so it may be even harder with them

>>280855972
you skipped the damn first demon nezuko kicked the head off of, c'mon bro

>>280854636
That's a much better deal than some fancy bullshit tea.

>>280855743
Yeah we know, Togashi...

it still bothers me that nezuko never fully regained her intelligence before turning back into a human

>>280847253 (OP)
pig

If this stupid fucking pig was never born Gyutaro would have won. He was saved by bullshit and he should have died 100 million times for this. Once again an example of Demon Slayer being undeserving of Gyutaro. Gyutaro needs his own spin off.

>>280857773
Muzan...

>>280857810
No Muzan was a weak willed baby bitch. If Gyutaro was in his place he would have lead demon kind to victory. I’m sick of this fucking anime. It’s been years. Several many many fucking years and to this god damn day people will argue with me over this. GYUTARO SHOULD HAVE WON. HE WAS STRONGER THAN ALL OF THEM. Yeahhhhh he was written into a manga he could never have succeeded in but on a cosmic level he is someone meant for much greater things and I long to see the universe where he does those things.

>>280857773
>Wowza! Supernatural immortal demonic vampire magic monster-humans are so heckin' cool!
>WHAT! So The boar boy can move his organs on a whim? That's so unrealistic!

Is this the Gyutaro obsessed femanon
