Separated from Tanjiro and paralyzed by fear, Zenitsu is cornered by a demon. In a moment of pure terror, he passes out—only to reveal that he is a deadly efficient "sleepwalker." While unconscious, he performs a single, lightning-fast strike: Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash , instantly decapitating the demon.

The episode introduces the concept of Marechi blood. Shoichi’s older brother possesses this rare blood, which is significantly more nutritious for demons, making him a high-value target and the reason they were kidnapped. Critical Reception Despite suffering from broken bones from his previous
The episode picks up with Tanjiro Kamado , Zenitsu Agatsuma , and the young boy Shoichi trapped inside a mansion where the rooms rotate and change whenever the demon Kyogai plays his tsuzumi drums.
Critics and fans generally praised the episode for its animation quality, particularly the "room-shifting" visual effects and Zenitsu's first real action scene.
Inosuke Hashibira is introduced as a wild and aggressive force. He barrels through the mansion wearing a hollowed-out boar's head, showing no regard for allies or enemies as he seeks a challenge.
Why does it seem like the run blocking went back in the toilet with Sundell coming back? Feels like I'd rather see him take Bradford's place and let Olu keep playing C.
The offense is a concern, but there are two things I find encouraging. Darnold’s turnovers are down substantially since the Rams game, and despite looking timid and off in the first half of games, he does look good in the 2nd half of the last two games. He doesn’t fold under pressure. I also think there is a Seahawk offense that can play well start to finish, and a Seahawk offense that can keep it moving from the opponent’s 25 into the end zone. However the time to go looking where it is, is over. We need to find it for Thursday.
Shaheed looks better each week. Today he was there and clutch. Darnold and he are synching up well, and just in time.
We will need to find one more solid piece on the O-line next year. Maybe that will not only help the run game, but improve pass protection.
All is still good for the Hawks. A win Thursday and in all likelihood the experts will start talking about the Seahawks as the team to beat. I have faith! Let’s all keep the faith!
