During this anime season, Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) has been the talk of the town for several reasons, especially for all the training that our main characters are going through, preparing for what will be the long-awaited final battle, but the last chapter left a final moment that excited many. With the appearance of a long-awaited character, fans of the series were shocked, but some fans began to compare this scene with the Indian series and its excess of dramatic effects. WARNING, this note will contain spoilers of Demon Slayer.
Excessive drama is present in the latest episode of Demon Slayer
This week would mark the arrival of the seventh chapter of Demon Slayer, which would continue telling us the journey of Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke as they train with the different pillars in preparation for what will be the final battle, being that in the chapter we knew a little more of the history of Gyomei Himejima, pillar of the rock. But what was most talked about was the last post-credits scene, and that is that Muzan Kibutsuji, the supreme demon, was present in the home where Kagaya Ubuyashiki is prostrate, a scene full of drama, although very excessive for some.
And the fact is that Muzan’s entrance, although very epic along the lines of what would be expected of a key moment like this, began to be compared in social networks with Indian series, which are characterized by using too much drama for scenes without much sense. This is what happened in the last episode of Demon Slayer, where Muzan’s arrival at Ubuyashiki’s inn was full of camera changes, effects and other tools to make the entrance as shocking as possible.
There were several Demon Slayer fans who gave their opinion about this fact, being the most striking the critics towards Ufotable, the animation studio of the anime, since it would not be the first time they do it, but during the meeting of the upper moons something similar had happened. Although there is also a great majority that believes that this entrance is excellent, since such an important moment as the meeting of the two most significant leaders of the good guys and the bad guys should have this level of drama, being that the entrance of Muzan is catalogued as cold and very imposing.
Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) is one of the most emblematic series of recent years, which managed to acquire great popularity among fans, either for its interesting story or for the high quality of its animation, which has placed it as one of the best of all time in that aspect. For those who do not know the story of this anime, it presents a world where demons are a latent danger, and these terrorize people at night to end their lives, but to end this there is the Demon Extermination Corps.
In this context we meet Tanjiro Kamado, a young man who lives with his family on the outskirts of town, where this terrible reality hits him, being that his loved ones are attacked by a demon that takes their lives, except his sister Nezuko, who was turned into one of these beings, but all is not lost. And the fact is that the young girl still shows some human emotions, recognizing her brother, so Tanjiro will now begin the difficult task of eliminating the demons and find a way for Nezuko to regain her humanity.
