by The fourth episode of the anime ” Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Pillar Training Arc” has aired since June 2nd. The difference in how the “Mist Pillar” Tokito Muichiro (CV: Kawanishi Kengo) treats Kamado Tanjiro (CV: Hanae Natsuki ) and the other members of the corps has made fans burst into laughter, with comments like “There’s a world of difference lol” and “What a cold attitude (lol).”
The anime series “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” is based on the manga of the same name by Koyoharu Gotouge, which was serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump.” Set in the Taisho era, the story depicts the struggle of a young boy, Tanjiro, whose family was killed by demons. After “Tanjiro Kamado: Unwavering Resolve Arc,” which began airing in April 2019, became a huge hit, its sequel, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train,” sparked a boom that could be called a social phenomenon. After that, “Mugen Train Arc,” which includes completely new episodes, began airing in October 2021, the following “Yukaku Arc” in December 2021, and “Swordsmith Village Arc” in April 2023.
In the last episode, episode 3, Tanjiro participated in training with Tengen Uzui (CV: Katsuyuki Konishi), the former Sound Pillar. While the other corps members were exhausted, Tanjiro was full of energy. His robust body surprised the other members by training harder than anyone else. Uzui’s three wives also praised him, saying, “You’ve got a good face” and “You have a manly face.” The internet garnered attention with comments like, “Tanjiro is still abnormal even in the eyes of the other members, lol,” and “He’s a physical monster.”
In the latest episode, episode 4, “You Can Smile,” Tanjiro trained with Muichiro. Muichiro recognized Tanjiro’s strength and gave his stamp of approval, saying, “You can go to the next pillar.” When Tanjiro asked, “It’s only been five days?” Muichiro smiled and said, “But Tanjiro, you’re doing exactly what you said.”
However, when the other soldiers started to say, “Well, then we’ll do it too…” and “We’ve been here for two weeks now…” Muichiro coldly dismissed them, saying, “What are you talking about? You guys are no good. Once you’re done practicing, practice until the batting board breaks.” The stark difference in their reactions made viewers laugh, with comments like, “There’s a world of difference lol,” “The difference in how they’re treated is horrible lol,” and “What a cold attitude (lol).”
Episode 4 “You Can Smile”
After completing his training under Uzui, Tanjiro deepens his friendship with the Demon Slayer Corps members and vows to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji again. At the Tokito residence, where they will next head, Muichiro has already begun intense training with the Corps members.
