Episode 7 of Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc which recently aired is certainly making its rounds around social media. The episode covered the past of the Stone Hashira, Gyomei Himejima, and also an incredibly slow-paced infiltration of the demon slayer headquarters.

The end of the episode marked the first encounter between Muzan and Ubuyashiki, and the animators certainly pulled off all the stops to make the scene as dramatic as they could. However, they might have gone a tad bit too overboard with the scene and fans are certainly having the time of their lives giving their takes on it.

Episode 7 of Demon Slayer season 5 has had fans grabbing tickets for the roller coaster of emotions. The episode starts off with Zenitsu’s Sparrow carrying a letter about his mentor, Jigoro Kuwajima, committing Seppuku. Fans also got to witness the past of the Stone Hashira finally get animated.

I guess it’s safe to assume that Studio Ufotable failed to grasp the actual essence of what they were aiming for with Muzan’s scene. It even drew some comparisons to the Shibuya Incident from Jujutsu Kaisen. Here is why.

The only thing that both the Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7 ending and the Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya Incident have in common is the ending theme playing in the background as the series begins to undergo the biggest change yet.

However, that isn’t all as an edit made by a fan using SPECIALZ by King Gnu as the background theme actually made the entire scene better, and might have even saved the tacky edits at least to some extent. Here is how the fans reacted to the edit;

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ending for Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Episode 7 was certainly a hit or miss, depending on the viewers. But one aspect that the episode certainly didn’t miss was creating intrigue for episode 8.
