00:15Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most insane Demon Slayer moments that got everyone talking.
00:32Number 10, All Hail Mitsuri
00:41It's only natural that Demon Slayer fans love the Love Hashira. She's adorable, badass, and uses a razor-whip sword.
00:57But it's only as Mitsuri stepped up to face Han Tengu that the whole world fell head over heels. And can you blame him?
01:15When the music swells and Mitsuri's twirling through the air, chopping up dragon bits, nothing in all of Demon Slayer looks cooler.
01:23Although, it helped that a few choice frames showed off a lot of Mitsuri's assets, if you catch her drift.
01:30Even if it's not entirely for pure reasons, Mitsuri's grand fight sure spread the love far and wide.
01:37Number 9, Thunderclamps for Zenitsu
01:53As Zenitsu went to sleep, the rest of the planet woke up to just how clutch he is in a fight.
02:08By escaping to Dreamland, the Slayer calmed his nerves, going from a liability to a lean, mean, thunder-breathing machine.
02:17One gorgeously animated sword thrust later, and Zenitsu had claimed his first victory in all of Demon Slayer.
02:33Thankfully, it wouldn't be the last. Not by a long shot.
02:37The scene's stealing decapitation officially put Zenitsu on the board as a fan-favorite to look out for.
02:44Although, considering his breathing techniques are all about thunder, that's hardly shocking anymore.
02:57Number 8, Muichiro's Red Mist
03:00By the time Tanjiro journeyed to the swordsmith village, Demon Slayer was already an industry-shaking phenomenon.
03:14But as Muichiro proved, there's always room for one more epic Hashira standoff.
03:19At the start, the prickly Slayer had a major chip on his shoulder.
03:23And up against Kyoko of the 12 Kizuki, that hesitation nearly cost Muichiro his life.
03:29Luckily, he pulled himself together just in the nick of time.
03:40Delivering a mist-breathing headshot for the record books.
03:43All things considered, it's a pretty subdued final strike.
03:47The fan reaction, though, was anything but.
03:50Muichiro wouldn't be forgotten anytime soon.
03:59Number 7, Muzan Clears Out His Ranks
04:09Even for villains, friendly fire is usually frowned upon, but it sure does make for good television.
04:23Continually let down by his chief lieutenants, the Kizuki, Muzan decides to clean house the violent way.
04:30While we'd seen the demon lord in action before, he was never at this scale, and certainly not against other high-ranking demons.
04:37Seeing them run for their lives does more to characterize Muzan than any dialogue ever could.
04:51To put it into perspective, the body count in this one scene rivals the rest of Demon Slayer's first season combined.
04:58No wonder people couldn't shut up about Muzan.
05:01Number 6, Nezuko puts the demon in Demon Slayer.
05:14With Daki on the prowl, and Tanjiro nearly 6 feet deep, Nezuko finally stepped into the fray to teach the demon a lesson.
05:34It's pretty much a game, one where Daki's head is the ball.
05:37Watching Nezuko embrace her inner demon should be terrifying, but quite frankly, everyone was too busy enjoying the show to care.
05:45After all, Daki really, really deserved this.
05:48It's almost funny in a way.
05:50Usually, Nezuko got her flowers by being Tanjiro's cutesy sister, but here, she drew viewer discussion for a very different, much bloodier reason.

06:39Number 5, Rengoku's Fiery Finish
06:43Set your heart ablaze.
06:57That's the inspiring motto of Flamehajira Kyoguro Rengoku, a character whose burning legacy pretty much speaks for itself.
07:05In case you need a reminder, though, he spent the record-breaking Mugen Train arc heaving his sword right into Akaza's smug face.
07:13He fought, he struggled, and he persevered, pushing Demon Slayer to untold levels of excitement.
07:19And still, it wasn't enough.
07:33He died fighting the good fight, and let's just say Tanjiro wasn't the only one choked up about it afterwards.
07:39Still, Rengoku can rest easy knowing he set the internet ablaze as much as he did his own heart.
07:46And now, I'll be the one choked up for you, and I'll be the one choked up for you.
07:53I'll be the one choked up for you.
07:56I'll be the one choked up for you.
07:58Number 4, Downfall of Daki and Guitaro
08:01When it comes to hype, the finale of the Entertainment District arc brings it like no other.
08:16You've got not just one, but two Kizuki to take down.
08:19And even better, they're up against a four-pronged effort of Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Tengen.
08:26To put it bluntly, it's pure fireworks.
08:29The animation is simply next level.
08:32To say nothing of the music and voice acting, it all culminated in a dual-edged decapitation
08:46so mind-blowingly epic, people had no choice but to start posting.
08:51If you didn't see all the clips of this fight the day aired, then you must be nice and cozy
08:56under that rock.
09:07Number 3, Muzan Makes an Entrance
09:18That's right, something as simple as a character appearing on screen is enough to send Demon
09:22Slayer fans into a frenzy these days.
09:25While that speaks to the series' overwhelming popularity, this scene in particular has something
09:30else going for it.
09:32Namely, it might be one of the most overdramatic entrances in anime history.
09:37Muzan's really showing off here.
09:49In the grand scheme of things, his appearance also marks the beginning of the end for Demon
09:54Slayer.
09:55And as every manga fan knows, the fight to come is just something else.
10:01Now, just imagine how the internet will react when the battle actually begins.
10:06It's the only one of the most overdramatic scenes.
10:13Number 2, Nezuko Steps Into The Light
10:17Grab your tissue boxes, everyone!
10:19There wasn't a dry eye left when this episode dropped.
10:33Fans across the world collectively grieve for Nezuko, who forced Tanjiro's hand and sacrificed
10:39herself to save the lives of innocent villagers.
10:42Only, she didn't burn in the sun like most demons.
10:58Instead, she survived, sending the entire Demon Slayer fanbase into a tailspin of feelings.
11:03Even if you don't consider the emotional whiplash of Nezuko's decision, this moment effectively
11:09set up the series' endgame.
11:11And boy, were people excited about it.
11:13This was Demon Slayer's moment of no return.
11:16It'd be a bigger surprise if it didn't make waves.
11:39Make sure to go into your settings and switch on notifications.
11:43Number 1, Hinokami Kagura
11:46Every anime fan remembers where they were and what they were doing when Episode 19 aired.
11:58Tanjiro and Nezuko facing Rui felt like a cataclysmic cultural event, and even that undersells
12:04it.
12:05The episode flooded forums, spawned countless reactions, and trended on just about every
12:12social media in existence.
12:14Anime had broken into the mainstream before, but this was something else.
12:20Demon Slayer wasn't just a hit show anymore.
12:36It was a full-on sensation, the likes of which we hadn't seen in decades.
12:41And that's all thanks to a little thing called Hinokami Kagura.
