Rengoku finally waking up was the flex I needed—his "I’m ashamed" energy is terrifying. I’m obsessed with the Zenitsu/Nezuko tag team, too. That train-neck fight? Pure insanity. Tanjiro almost glitching IRL from those dreams was high-key stressful. 10/10 hype!

Pure intensity from start to finish. The action feels fast and relentless, but it never loses its emotional core. Every clash carries weight, and the visuals truly shine in the heat of battle. It’s dramatic, heartfelt, and keeps you fully locked in the whole time
