This episode was so good!! The family story, the way the Master's wife kept showing up, Yuichiro sacrificing himself for his brother despite showing him disdain for his attitude and optimism. It was heavy, but so worth it.

I just need them to tell me if Muichiro and Tanjiro are related!!!! Or are they from a similar clan but not related? They have to be!! Ahhhhhh! 🤯

Just a little clarification about the first breathing they are referring to in this episode. That is actually sun breathing wich, as Rengoku's father said, is the original breathing form from wich all other breathing form derived. If you remember in previous episode Muichiro's crow referred to him as being the descendent of a sun breather.

This and another certain episode in this season that you guys have yet to see eheh, are my picks for my favorite episode of the season! Muichiro is a great character and his backstory was beautifully done!

This is a refresher from episode 28. There are five fundamental breathing styles in demon slayer being Water ,Wind ,Fire ,Thunder and Stone breathing. The other unique breathing styles we see are derived from one of the main 5 breathing styles . Flower, Serpent and Insect breathing are derived from Water breathing. Love breathing is derived from Fire breathing. Sound breathing is derived Thunder breathing. Beast and Mist breathing are derived from Wind breathing. A breathing style being a derivative doesn't make it weaker or stronger than its fundamental breathing form, it just suits the breathing users fighting style better.

I would say the most literal translation of “Mu” is “absence of” or “without.” By putting it in front of other characters you can really make it mean anything. So when Yuichiro was calling him meaningless, the literal words were “absence of meaning (muimi).” When he called him incompetent, the words were “absence of talent (munou)”. When he revealed true meaning of infinity, the literal words/translations were “without limit (mugen).”

Their Last Name: 時透(toki-tou) 時 (とき) toki = time 透 (とう) to(u) = transparent, permeate Their First Names: 無一郎(mu-ichi-rou) 有一郎 (yuu-ichi-rou) 無 (む) mu = nothingness, emptiness, none, not, un-/in-, -less for example: 無限 (mu gen): infinite/infinity, unlimited 無限列車 (mugen ressha): Infinity Train (another name for the Mugen Train Arc) 無限城 (mugen jo): Infinity Castle 無能 (mu nou): incompetent 無意味 (mu i mi): meaningless also 無惨 (mu zan): merciless, ruthless 惨 (zan): miserable, pitiful, wretched (kinda fitting) 有 (ゆう) yu(u) = have, existence, possess 有限 (yuu gen): limited, finite/finity 有能 (yuu nou): competent, capable 有意味 (yuu i mi): meaningful 一 (いち) ichi = one, first 郎 (ろう) ro(u) = male, men, basically a word that refers broadly to boys (a common word used in a boy's name, just like Tanji-ro 炭治郎) 一郎(ichiro) is a common name for the first son of the family back in the day, since they are twins, I guess both of them can be considered as first son😂😂

Some of your questions might not get clear answers this season, but eventually, you’ll find out. That’s just the author’s narrative style (haha). By the way, I really like Adam’s commentary on Yuichiro’s attitude and behavior. I think it’s just a way for a child to cope with the grief of losing their parents. Also, Yuichiro probably felt he had to toughen up to protect Muichiro. The first time I watched the scene where Yuichiro was still praying for Muichiro before he died, I was in tears. I think after Muichiro lost his memory, he became somewhat like Yuichiro, unconsciously. It’s quite similar to how Shinobu Kochou started living like her sister after losing her.

first time viewer oof well now i feel kinda bad about saying that i hope kindness and care for others becomes a genuine part of muichiro in the future, when that was originally how he was before all the trauma and developing amnesia. but im pretty sure it was written that way to misdirect viewers/readers. 12:06 also unrelated, but radish in korean is 무/mu. i just found it funny that yuichiro was chopping a radish in this scene since there were so many different meanings of mu mentioned in this episode and then there was yet another mu. lol

I'll post some "extra reading" material regarding the title. It's entirely non-spoiler since it's mostly cultural; I only hope it makes you appreciate their decision to dedicate a whole episode title to the idea. In Taoist and Buddhist traditions, there is an idea of prosperity through harmony. You probably have heard of the terms yin and yang: The idea of yin/yang harmony is to describe the way that cosmic forces interact i.e. how the duality of nature (e.g. light and dark, male and female, full and empty, active and passive, etc.) manifests and in turn creates the worldly phenomena (note: both physical and spiritual, both tangible and intangible). Mu and Yu (in Mu-ichiro and Yu-ichiro) also describe that harmonious interplay, but on a more fundamental level. The concept of mu is a very elusive idea. Wu (無), the original Chinese concept in Taoism, can be roughly translated as "nothing" or "the state of non-being" and You (有) is the counterpart: "being" or "existence". The philosophy aims to teach that "emptiness" is not necessarily a scary/bad thing (like how we often view death, loss, lack of property, etc.), but a necessary part of a harmonious world. A very common example to ground this understanding is the pot: not only does it need the clay structure (existence) but also the empty space inside (non-being) in order to do its job (contain water or store grains). Wu (the emptiness) doesn't exist apart from you (the clay structure); they are interdependent. Moreover, the pot doesn't strive to be useful, it effortlessly achieves its function through the harmony of Wu and You. Another example I like to think of to explain not just Wu/You but also Yin/Yang and how they differ is music: Yin/Yang are the dualistic qualities of nature, like how music can be loud/soft, fast/slow, harmonious/dissonant, etc.) while Wu and You are more fundamental: the sound you hear alone isn't enough to make music; you also need the silence in between the notes. Both sound (existence) and silence (non-being) are necessary to create music, just as wu and you together give rise to meaningful existence. Silence is not merely the "lack of sound" but the space that allows sound to exist meaningfully. At this point you might be reminded of a similar idea that's more popular in Western culture: when everything is [X], nothing is [X]. Without a need for material resources, rich people fail to appreciate possessions. Without pain, joy loses its shine. What is present gains meaning from what is absent. However, I want to make a clear case that the concept of Wu goes even further and is very distinct from the ideas of parity/contrast/duality. Wu is not just a part of a dualistic whole, but the limitless source of all possibilities that everything comes from. The music example illustrates this idea most clearly for me: without silence, no music can be made. It is the lack of sound that gives potential for sound to emerge, just as it is the lack of everything that gives the potential of existence to anything. Wu is the fertile nothingness that contains the ultimate potentiality from which all things can be created. All things that exist and CAN exist, together, constitutes You, but all things must emerge from Wu: it is the infinitely potential primordial source of existence. Wu does not reject the duality nature; instead, it transcends simple duality and gives the foundation for dualistic forces of nature to emerge and give birth to all things. Now back to the anime. You can see how these ideas are adapted to our characters: Yuichiro embodies 'you' (being) through his tangible strength, capability and action, while Muichiro represents 'mu' (non-being) through his ethereal and introspective qualities like kindness. Together, they reflect the harmony between action and potential, presence and absence, existence and non-existence, and they formed this harmony through their existence as twins. This theme is also reflected in Muichiro's mist-breathing style, which evokes the elusive and formless nature of 'mu.' As for why I talked about "mu" and "wu" interchangeably: the concept of "wu" originates in Taoist traditions in China, and "mu" is the Japanese reading of the same word (無). In Zen Buddhist traditions, the concept of "mu" follows the metaphysical foundations of "wu", but focuses on a more... personal experience. It aims to help one meditate and transcend conventional dualistic/binary thinking (yes/no, true/false) and achieve a fuller understanding of reality.

"How can someone be so cynical at 10?" well I mean the kid lost both his parents at 10 🥲 trauma affects people differently and he seems to have coped by becoming super cynical. He's stuck in the anger stage of grief and I feel like he blames their parents and criticizes Muichiro for being like them because he *needed* to find something to blame, someone to direct his anger towards. In his eyes, they died because they were too selfless. Their mom not resting even when she was really sick, their dad going out to get herbs in a dangerous thunderstorm. They were trying to help each other which ultimately led to their deaths, so no wonder he yells at Muichiro when he says they should help others. Was he inherently more logical and cynical? Probably - he begged their mom to rest and their dad not to go out because logically those were the best courses of action for their wellbeing. But I doubt it was to the level he is at this point.

In my view, I wouldn't even call his attitude as "cynical". His perspective is one that I frequently struggle with: "Can I afford to be kind to others in this way?" It may sound ridiculous but if you think on your life experience and recognize that life sometimes is a zero sum game, being kind to others can be unkind to the people you need to prioritize more. A personal anecdote: when I was involved in a traffic accident, the at-fault party's insurance took all responsibility and I refused to act on the "advice" that I was getting to commit insurance fraud and earn some money. It seemed like an easy choice to me but then when I look at my mother, it feels difficult not to think what I could've done for her with an extra $10,000 that I would've taken away from the hands of faceless corporations. Could I afford to be kind (or in this case, morally just) towards such an unfeeling entity at the cost of my own mother's well-being? It wasn't an easy thought to settle. Think of his situation: his mother worked herself to death over many years, and his father decided to risk his life for her. Admirable? But for what? What were the chances she'd recover with the herb? Why didn't they get it before if it meant instant-cure? Why did his father, then, choose to risk his life for seemingly a foolishly small chance while ignoring the risk of orphaning his own children? It seems less commendable and somewhat.. faulty when you view things this way. You could say the wife meant so much to him, but however you slice it, it is an undeniable truth that the Tokito brothers weren't important enough, or his father just wasn't very good at thinking, which is somehow even worse. Now, if YOU are directly affected by these.. ill-advised choices like Yuichiro was, would you not also be a little bit mad because people didn't have their priorities straight? He lost his parents. They were not just his caretakers; he loved them. Would you not also be a little bit angry?

this episode TRAUMATIZED ME. muichiro is my son now.

in my opinion this episode made such a good job at portraying how siblings react and cope with trauma so differently, even being twins. Going through similar experiences and suffering but internalizing it differently, perhaps because of what makes us "us", our DNA, our essence, our perception of the world. Yuichiro was just so angry at the world and needed someone to blame because thats the best be could to to cope with his trauma, while for Muichiro he was able to remain kind but at the same time I think he also repressed so many of his emotions, with the way he snapped when they were attacked. I thought it was bright the way they showed how everyone cope differently but that theres also no wrong or right way of doing that, especially for a child. I loved this ep!
