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.
