Ay, what's up with kny and making me feel bad for demons in their final moments? Like even though Daki, was annoying seeing her final tears in the scenes above and her calling out to her brother really got me. And the pain in Gyutaro eyes 😔, you could see how much he loved his sister when she disappeared. I'm glad Tanjiro stopped him from talking more shit.
There were so many parallels between Ume/Gyutaro and Tanjiro/Nezuko this episode. First we see those ladies all kind of names the same way, Gyutaro was smacking Tanjiro last episode and calling him a coward etc. Gyutaro was just dishing out what he was served.
As we saw them grow up Ume and Gyutaro became a duo much like Tanjiro and Nezuko but in this case they lived in an era that required them to be ruthless and aggressive....
And because of that, we see Ume pay the price for defending herself against that Samurai. Just like Tanjiro, Gyutaro wasn't home at the time, when Ume body was burned and left for dead. So when Tanjiro said last episode that he and Nezuko could of turned out just like then he wasn't lying. Both backstory are similar but the outcomes were different.
Also although Nezuko burning Daki was hype I kinda feel bad now, realizing why she cried and acted like that was probably from ptsd from getting burned alive before 😰
And Gyutaro voice actor really nailed it this episode Daki's as well. You could literally feel every emotion and pain in Gyutaro voice. Next anime awards they need to win something forreal.
Gyutaro holding a burnt Ume looking for help in the snow. Again just like Taniro and Nezuko during the first episode of season 1.
Now, this is where the outcome for Ume and Gyutaro differed. Instead of being saved by a hashira, they were saved by demon. Like Yin and Yang. Tanjiro/Nezuko was destined for the light and Ume and Gyutaro destined for the dark. This parallel also reminds me of Shigaraki and Midoriya from MHA. Deku was saved by the good guy all might and Shiggy was saved by the villain All For One. In these cases just a helping hand would make all the difference, but it depends on whether it's done for good or bad.
My gad, lol, not anime teaching life lessons and shit. But yeah, I really the message animes like MHA and Kny are try to portray. It can be easily lost within all the fighting and killing but, there's still a story and message the author's trying to give....
