Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 10 review: Disappointing but watch out for the climax scene

2/5

Tanjiro is faced with the toughest situation so far, when Inosuke, Zenitsu and Tengen Uzui are all taken down. He now has to survive and fight the two demons, Daki and Gyutaro, all the while taking care of his little sister, Nezuko.

Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 10 is disappointing. It is one of those moments where you are promised to discover a diamond every time you dig into the ground but have to keep digging only to find one diamond and three rubies on the way. Exactly, disappointing!

The story begins on a very slow note, considering it is Tanjiro going back in the past to find some motivation. Honestly, the best thing to happen in the scene is Gyutaro, who is equal parts funny and scary. For the next few minutes, he keeps on bullying Tanjiro in a never-ending circle, which makes you yawn.

Tanjiro finds support in someone awesome. The two are hellbent on ending the demon siblings Daki and Gyutaro, but will they be able to succeed in the mission? The makers have surely succeeded in giving the viewers some good VFX in their action sequence.

Tengen Uzui is a huge surprise package in this episode. He has a special power that has not been revealed so far. It plays such a pivotal role when it comes to even try to defeat the demons.

While the episode begins on a very gloomy note, as it comes to an end, you see more than a ray of hope, which will leave you smiling. The last scene, however, isn't what you would see coming. Thanks to this scene, the Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc stays true to what it has been achieving since the past few episodes-snapping your senses to notice a scene. This episode, though, manages to do that only with the last scene in particular.

The post-credit scene is cute but can be skipped, for it has nothing new to add to the story. If you are a fan of Nezuko, then you might want to watch her cutely talk about her brother, Tanjiro but that's about it.

Even though this episode is an important one and thus, something that you can't just skip (trust me, it would be my first suggestion if that was an option), the makers have turned too lazy on the plot. They either took their fandom for granted by thinking they could serve anything and everything will be lauded or the makers put in no effort since the episodes with Daki and Gyutaro were just not coming to an end. Nonetheless, it is not a treatment that fans deserve. Demon Slayer has set a standard which this episode, in the order, forgets all about, maintains, matches do not care about and matches again. Seriously, is asking for consistency too much?
