00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down the most impactful scenes from this modern
00:14juggernaut of anime so far.
00:1610. Cutting the boulder Training to become a demon slayer is demanding
00:30to say the least.
00:31If you want to graduate to cutting the heads off of demons, you've first got to cut a giant
00:36rock in half.
00:38This proves to be quite the challenge for Tanjiro, thankfully he's got some assistance
00:45from the likes of Sabito and Makumo, two other students who seem determined to push him to
00:50the limit.
00:54After tirelessly training himself, Tanjiro is finally able to best Sabito in a spa, only
01:00to discover that he's actually sliced the boulder in half in the process.
01:11Turns out a little assistance from the afterlife was all he needed.
01:159.
01:16Tanjiro vs Hand Demon All that extensive training couldn't have come
01:19at a better time, as Tanjiro's examination to enter the Demon Slayer Corps is interrupted
01:25by the arrival of an unwelcome guest, the monster responsible for the death of Urokodaki's
01:31previous students.
01:38While it's larger and sturdier than other demons, the multitude of hands finds itself
01:42lacking against Tanjiro's newfound mastery of water breathing.
01:52Avenging his fellow sword students and gaining himself entry into the Corps in a single slash,
01:58this fight was an early standout.
02:008.
02:03The Hashira Unites
02:04It's the beginning of the end.
02:19After using himself as bait to draw out the elusive king of demons, Ubuyashiki kicks off
02:25the Demon Slayer's final assault against their ultimate enemy, by blowing himself and
02:30his family up in the most epically animated explosion to date.
02:35Wounded and weakened, Muzan finds himself ensnared in a brutal trap as he's set upon by
02:41all the remaining Hashira.
03:05Unfortunately it's not that easy, as he unleashes his ace in the hole by pulling every
03:10Demon Slayer member into the Infinity Castle with the sole intention of massacring them
03:15all in a single night.
03:40It's one of the most hype precursors to a final battle you'll ever see.
03:447.
03:45Tanjiro vs.
03:46Enmu
03:47Imbued with Muzan's blood, the last of the remaining lower moons sets out to entrap and
03:57kill as many Demon Slayers as possible, leading him to coming into direct confrontation with
04:03Tanjiro and company.
04:04Able to conjure illusions so potent and realistic that the only way to escape them is to take
04:10your own life, you'd think Enmu would be downright invincible.
04:15Too bad he made the fatal decision of trying to use projections of Tanjiro's murdered family
04:20against him.
04:30The result is a blitz of breathtaking techniques, as Enmu ends up meeting his end twice as both
04:37a demon and a mutated train.
04:466.
04:47Muzan Kills Lower Moons
04:53Failure is not something that Muzan tolerates, and following Rui's demise, he decides that it's
04:58time for the lower moons to be stripped of their ranks and ejected from the premise via
05:03a swift slaughter.
05:10Summoning a fleshy sentient appendage to devour them one by one, Muzan shows no mercy.
05:21No matter what they do, no matter how they bleed, they all end up as stains on the infinity
05:26castle's floor, save for Enmu, who chooses the only correct option of feeding Muzan's
05:32ego.
05:33When in doubt, go false simp.
05:355.
05:36Tanjiro vs Rui
05:38For many, this was the moment where Demon Slayer became something truly special.
05:42Facing down Rui and his pretend family of demon-spider hybrids, Tanjiro ends up cut to shreds while
05:49Nezuko is rendered immobile.
05:51Thanks to a last-second flashback to his father's parting words, Tanjiro taps into the hidden
05:57arts of Hinokami Kagura, a form of breathing easily able to put Rui on the ropes.
06:04Paired with stellar animation and a gorgeous soundtrack, seeing Tanjiro and Nezuko's bond
06:25cleave through the lower moon was an outright spectacle.
06:384.
06:39Nezuko vs Daki
06:41While she possesses one hell of a kick, Nezuko had never been much of a fighter compared to
06:46her demon-killing brother, at least until she was pushed too far by a certain wicked courtesan.
06:52After Daki nearly kills Tanjiro, Nezuko's own demonic blood awakens, triggering a transformation
06:59that pushes her well into the realm of an upper moon.
07:07With minimal efforts, she takes Daki to task, brutally breaking her apart with kicks and punches
07:13down.
07:14To say the whole beatdown made for a satisfying watch would be a colossal understatement.
07:283.
07:29Rengoku vs Akaza
07:40Gone but not forgotten, the flame Hashira burned beyond brightly, especially during his climactic
07:46fight against the third upper moon.
07:54Taking on the might of Akaza's instant regeneration and blistering blows, Rengoku matched his pace
08:01every step of the way thanks to his insane sword skills, though even he couldn't stop
08:06the accumulative damage from bringing him to the brink.
08:16Then yet, he continued to blaze forward, even getting a fist jammed through his gut didn't
08:22finish him off, and had Akaza not chickened out at the first sign of sunlight, Rengoku would
08:28have ended him then and there.
08:30His fire may have faded, but his memory continues to flicker long after Mugen Train's end.
08:35Number 2.
08:45Nezuko Burns
08:47Tanjiro's drive to keep his sister safe and turn her back into a human has been the cornerstone
08:52of this character all throughout the series.
08:54So, what happens when he's put into an impossible position where he has to choose between her
09:00life and the lives of other innocents?
09:02As the upper moon Han Tengu sets upon a group of swordsmiths, Nezuko is exposed to sunlight,
09:09which proceeds to rapidly burn her.
09:11Caught in the throngs of a panic attack and unable to choose between protecting her or saving
09:16others, Tanjiro's decision is ultimately made for him when Nezuko kicks him into action.
09:29Thankfully, despite the trauma of watching her go up in flames, there's a light at the
09:34end of the tunnel.
09:39As it's revealed, Nezuko has developed an immunity to sunlight and regained the ability
09:45to speak.
09:46Good, because we couldn't have handled the alternative.

10:15Everyone vs. Gutaro and Daki The final battle in the Entertainment District
10:19against the demonic upper moon siblings was a non-stop adrenaline ride with Ufotable going
10:25all-out with their unlimited budget works.
10:34You've got Uzui coming in clutch to save Tanjiro, trading blow for blow with Gutaro and leaving
10:41non-stop explosions in their wake.
10:47All the while, Zenitsu lets loose with god-tier speed to nearly send Daki flying into the
10:57stratosphere.
10:58This all culminates in the boys going full-on pencil sketch as they push past their wounds
11:03and follow through with a dual decapitation.
