i will protect muichiro.

[Shawna Finnigan · Rating 5 out of 5]

TW// murder (including parents), suicide

This volume is incredible. It has some of the best moments out of the entire series so far.

The plot twist in Doma's fight was fantastic. I didn't see it coming yet it helped end one of the hashira's stories in a really clever and perfect way.

I loved the super creative and intense fight with Kokushibo. The fight was so epic and it's fun to see an unexpected crew of demon slayers come together to fight him. I also really enjoyed the moments between Genya and Sanemi as well as the moments between Genya and Muichiro. They're three characters that I wish I could've seen more of their interactions with each other before this battle.

I don't have volume 20 currently because the seller I bought it from on PangoBooks ghosted me... Hopefully I can get my hands on the next volume soon so that I can finish this wonderful series.

I can’t believe how exciting this is now. All the Pillars are taking on the very strongest demons in this all-out battle and the pacing is perfect. All their strengths are amazing. This is some of the very best fights in manga. :)

PT O arco do Castelo do Infinito continua a surpreender!

A intensa batalha contra Doma chega ao fim, abrindo caminho para novos e emocionantes confrontos.

A revelação de Kokushibo, o Demónio de Rank 1, é absolutamente épica. O seu poder e presença esmagadores resultam num combate emocionante, exigindo o esforço combinado de três Caçadores de Demónios para o enfrentar.

Sanemi e Genya brilham verdadeiramente neste volume — duas das personagens mais incríveis e cativantes de "Demon Slayer". Estão facilmente entre os meus favoritos!

EN The Infinity Castle arc keeps delivering!

Doma's intense battle reaches its conclusion, paving the way for new and exciting confrontations.

The reveal of Kokushibo, the Rank 1 Demon, is absolutely epic. His overwhelming power and presence make for a thrilling clash, requiring the combined efforts of three Demon Slayers to take him on.

Sanemi and Genya truly shine in this volume—two of the coolest and most compelling characters in "Demon Slayer". They're easily among my favorites!

Holy fuck, holy fuck, HOLY FUCK, Shinobu is the fucking best! Holy shit, I did NOT see that coming and it was FUCKING GLORIOUS! The finale to Shinobu's, Kanao's, and Inosuke's fight against Doma was SO FUCKING SATISFYING! Not to mention the fight was so fucking intense and Kanao got a glow up and HOLY SHIT, IT WAS AWESOME!

This whole volume was awesome fight scene after awesome fight scene and the shounen fangirl in me was not prepared for it, I nearly died of bliss. I'm bummed that I didn't get to see more of Kanroji's and Iguro's fight against the rank 4 demon, but hopefully that will get more screen time next volume. The fight between the rank 1 demon was so tense, but I'm SO pumped to see where it goes. I'm also super curious about the rank 1 demon, especially his affiliation with breathing techniques. But more importantly, I cannot FUCKING WAIT for the anime to animate this fight. It is gonna look SO FUCKING DOPE.

Enough rambling, let's cut to the chase. This was an awesome, action packed, incredible volume that I devoured like the shounen trash fangirl I am.

From adrenaline rushing action-packed scenes to emotional moments that'll almost break you, this volume of Kimetsu No Yaiba has it all, showcasing the sacrifices of the demon slayers and the lethality of the upper rank demons.

Estoy muy triste, jamás pensé que perdería tantos hijos y seguiré perdiendo por lo que veo.
Estoy tan (disculpen la palabra) cabreada con Muzan y la verdad espero que todo se arregle y que dejen de morir más de mis hijos pero ya no se que esperar de esta mujer porque veo en sus ojos muerte y destrucción a la hora de dibujar este manga.

[Emi.acg · Rating 2 out of 5]

Siendo sincera no me gustó mucho este tomo y es que me molesta que los enemigos de repente sean tan extremadamente poderosos, entiendo que por algo tienen sus rangos pero esta tan desproporcionado que para vencer han tenido que ir creando escenas tan convenientes.
Me gustó la pelea de Shinobu, Kanao e Inosuke pero de que estuvo arreglado lo estuvo. Para empezar que justo hayan coincidido ellos con el demonio y luego todo el tema con el veneno en el cuerpo de Shinobu y le hizo reacción un tiempo después de haberla comido, lo que permitió que los otros dos lo encueran.
Y luego esta eso de la creación de nuevos luna superiores, ahora apareció otra n°4 que es la que tocaba el instrumento, el chico serpiente y mitsuri están luchando con ella.
Por último apareció el luna superior 1, esta rotisimo. En 5 seg venció a Genya y 1 minuto al de la niebla que resulta es su sucesor y en 3 corto al del viento aunque este pudo mantenerle un poco más el ritmo. Ahora llego el de la roca.

Doma is a skilled opponent battling both Kanao and Inosuke. He times his physical blows perfectly, as well as digging deep into Inosuke's soul with the newfound discovers. Rage courses through both of them, everything they lost, everything they deserved that was never given, the people they have witnessed in pain that was all taken away because of Muzan. Mitsuri and Obanai are fighting against a annoying opponent who stops anyone from daring to get close to them. Meanwhile, Muichiro, Genya, Sanemi, and Gyomei battle against a demon whose skill is one of the greatest challenge the Hashira have ever faced.

The cover is so gorgeous: never imagined giving 5 stars would be that easy! Inosuke's rage made me want to cry, but I didn't have the energy to do so because I was exhausted. I admittedly picked this up late at night after telling myself I'd "take a peek" at the story. oops. I read this and wow, I am not ashamed of the person I will be once I finish Demon Slayer. Lotta money is going to go to buying Demon Slayer-themed-things.

It would be super helpful if someone answered this: is it better to get each Demon Slayer volume individually or the box set? I would definitely be putting the whole Demon Slayer series on my wish list! Now, without further ado, I'll get to the main spotlight of attention, which is Demon Slayer volume nineteen.

Obanai has such a ✨moment✨ on the cover. I love it! He had such a small snippet of page time with Mitsuri but their chemistry 🥲. . . I feel like Obanai has a soft-spot for her! Although I do feel as though certain fight scenes feel disjointed and could be completely unrelated to others. To explain more, it feels as though a strict timeline of: is this all happening at once or are they battling in different increments is unclear. Zenitsu hasn't had an appearance for two volumes, and a couple of the other Hashira haven't even made it to the fight scene yet.

Inosuke has proven to be a very blunt and proud character, a type of character archetype that I tend to find exhausting and dull. So . . . whatever it is about Inosuke that makes me love his character is all because of the mangaka's talent. Inosuke is a character of comedic relief, with his funny jokes, and sometimes clueless questions. He always manages to add heart and laughter to the story. So it was interesting to see the author crack at his surface and expose more of his internal, vulnerable, struggles. Inosuke is driven by such rage and visible pain. I loved learning about his heartache, but I also just wanted to grab Doma-
and screamed at him in a rage.

BEAUTIFUL art by @Zenthol

Yet he has such beautiful rainbow eyes, and the character design is fantastic! Amid the tense battle, Sanemi and Genya's relationship is explored. Sanemi displays love in a very coldhearted way and, in the end, we learn why. It makes more sense, though it is no excuse for how abusive he would be. Their relationship shows that love between brothers can be complicated.

I loved seeing Muichiro, Sanemi, Gyomei, and Genya fight against one of the most powerful opponents . . . who strangely reminds me of Tanjiro's appearance. Several of the characters go through quite some fatal injuries . . . that, in retrospect, don't seem possible to survive with.
But I mean. . . Darth Vader did it, so I guess the parameters of physical injuries aren't as fatal in fiction as in real life!

Overall one of Demon Slayer's strongest volumes!

[Celeste · Rating 4 out of 5]

EN RESUMEN
La pelea contra la Segunda Luna Creciente da un giro sorpresivo.

ASPECTOS POSITIVOS
- THAT PLOT TWIST. Si bien sostengo que a Shinobu se la eliminó demasiado rápido, por lo menos Gotouge hizo que todo ese sacrificio valiera la pena. Insisto en que amo la personalidad de Shinobu, como no le importa nada con respecto a los demonios. Mantiene su dulzura y tranquilidad, pero eso no le quita lo letal. ESE MOMENTO EN EL QUE SE ENCUENTRA CON DOUMA Y LO MANDA A LA MIERDA MIENTRAS SOSTIENE SU CABEZA??!! YES QUEEN. WE LOVE TO SEE IT.
Y otra vez recalco la dupla de Inosuke y Kanao. Se lucieron peleando juntos y el final les dio una conclusión emocionante a sus arcos con respecto a sus pasados.
- Otra vez los villanos llevándose los aplausos. Akaza opacó a Douma en el tomo anterior, pero acá Douma y la Primera Luna Creciente se destacaron más. Son poderosos y eso se ve en el esfuerzo que hacen los protagonistas por derrotarlos. No por nada ocupan rangos tan importantes.
- Amo la forma en la que Gotouge aprovecha el aspecto histórico y lo implementa en la fantasía. El lugar que ambienta la batalla final le da una sensación asfixiante y desesperante a la situación. Sube la apuesta en un arco que ya de por sí está por las nubes en cuanto a peligro se refiere.
- ESE GRUPO QUE SE FORMÓ AL FINAL PARA ENFRENTAR A KOKUSHIBO HOLY SHIT. Genya y Muichiro atravesaron un gran desarrollo en los arcos anteriores y eso se ve plasmado en esta pelea. A eso le sumas a Sanemi (quién obviamente está actuando como lo esperaba. Amamos los hermanos que trauman emocional y psicológicamente a sus hermanos menores porque creen estar haciendo lo mejor) y a Himejima y tenés un enfrentamiento que promete muchísimo.
Además, me encantó conocer más sobre la Primera Luna Creciente. Su poder sin duda es algo que no vimos hasta el momento.
Con respecto a Sanemi, más allá de mi irritación con lo que le hizo a Genya, me gustó mucho ese flashback en el que conoce por primera vez a Ubuyashiki. Se entiende ahora de dónde viene el inmenso respeto que alguien tan violento como Sanemi tiene por él. Re contextualizó la escena de la presentación de los Pilares.
- La acción es excelente. La tensión se siente constantemente y el ritmo no te deja respirar. Hay giros, emoción, reencuentros, revelaciones. Así como los demonios prueban porque son tan peligrosos, los cazademonios se lucen y personajes como Muichiro, Sanemi y Himejima demuestran porque son Pilares.

ASPECTOS NEGATIVOS
- Y así como toda la pelea con Douma tuvo un lado positivo también hay un lado negativo. Más allá de que el plan de Shinobu tuvo sentido y es bastante inteligente, es increíblemente conveniente. No tenían en cuenta que Muzan actuaría tan rápido ni tampoco a su guarida que los separa, y sin embargo pudieron encontrarse no sólo Shinobu sino también su aprendiz Kanao con el demonio que estaban buscando. Y a eso se le suma que justo llegó Inosuke quién también tiene un pasado que lo relaciona con la Segunda Luna Creciente. :))))))))
Pero bueno... son conveniencias que se perdonan. Un poco.
- El sistema de magia sigue arruinando el tono. Los power ups sacados de la nada arruinan por completo la emoción de algunas escenas. Encima ahora no puedo ni evitar quejarme de lo ridículo que se volvieron los nombres de las respiraciones.

CONCLUSIÓN
A pesar de que el sistema de magia arruina un poco el efecto de ciertas escenas, el tomo 19 de Demon Slayer continúa elevando la tensión y acción con creces. Esto realmente se siente como una final con todas las letras. Y eso que ni siquiera nos acercamos a Muzan todavía.

Madre mía… se nota que el final está cerca. Y que va a ser un final de esos que van a hacer llorar a todos. Menudo intensidad en las peleas !!!! Y como ha mejorado el arte tomo a tomo en este manga. En estas partes están enfocadas en la acción y en las peleas finales esto se puede ver mejor que los volúmenes previos. Las peleas están resultando muy dinámicas, muy fáciles de seguir. Y eso es otro punto a favor de la autora, facilita mucho seguir la narrativa.

Todas las peleas ha sido muy intensas y muy bien llevadas, como ya digo. El combate con la Segunda Luna Superior yo ya intuía que iba a acabar así desde el volumen anterior. No obstante me ha gustado. Por los ataques y poderes del demonio (muy bonitos, en anime quedaran preciosos) y por como ha llevado al limite emocional al personaje de Innosuke. Ya lo dije en el tomo anterior, creo que le ira bien a este carácter. Por otro lado, me encanto esa escena post morten entre el demonio y Shinobu. Una forma muy fresca de desdramatizar pero sin caer en la parodia.

El otro gran combate (hay otro que promete dar tralla en los siguientes volúmenes, pero al que se dedica poco tiempo en este) es el de varios personajes contra la Primera Luna Superior. Ya solo por ver como ha puesto a sus contrincantes contra la espada y la pared con relativa facilidad merecen la pena sus partes. Pobre Gennya, que mal lo he pasado con él, el momento con su hermano ha sido el punto emotivo del volumen, y personalmente lo he agradecido entre tanta lucha. Y eso que creo que es uno de los personajes más desaprovechados de toda la historia puede entender que tengo muchos fans, pero creo que podría aportar mucho más de lo que ha hecho. Y es que en este punto del manga ya se perciben las prisas por acabarlo, y creo que va a ser lo que va a deslucir un poco. el final. De todas formas, de momento estoy disfrutando m, la cosa promete. Yo en mi cabeza ya oigo eso de Luz, Fuego, Destrucción que decía la canción principal de Dragon Ball, no sé porque.

This volume was another great one. We have Kanao and Inosuke fighting Doma and the way it goes is amazing but the plan that Shinobu had was awesome and we learn the plan and the backstory f the demon which was cool and another case of the author giving demons such amazing backstories and finally Kokushibo confronts Tokito and fights him and the connections to him and then there is amazing moment when Sanemi comes in and the whole brotherly bond hits another level. The author really knows how to make you feel for the characters but the battle is bloody like anything else but the way it goes is just so good. The stone hashira's time is at hand and they will not stop.

I like how the demon threats keep escalating and each one has such great backstory and make you feel for the characters. And also reflect of human and their complex emotions. The art is next level some scenes are so horrifying yet the author keeps it interesting with amazing new attack names. Its one of those volumes that makes the end even more epic.

[Angela · Rating 5 out of 5]

it’s been a fatally beautiful experience following the unspeakably lovely kocho sisters’ arc for all this time. as i’ve expressed quite eloquently before, shinobu is the most unique and well-designed supporting girl to have ever graced my miserable head—she lived in courage and died in grace, shattering all the rules of that society on what excellence meant, and always, without hesitation, put her legacy and family before her own life. taking over the butterfly estate at age fourteen, stepping immediately up into her sister’s place as a hashira, accommodating her weaknesses by developing her own lethal weapon in lieu of a sword, becoming head doctor of the corps, housing tanjiro & friends after mount natagumo, forcing her body to adapt to over 37kg of poison in order to take her revenge—she was an absolute force to be reckoned with. revenge drove her but wasn’t her final aim: she wanted to do right by herself and kanae, and she wanted to be reunited with the first family she had lost, so she was never led by wickedness into willfully putting anyone else in the crossfire. douma’s sadass last words were, want to go to hell with me? hers were, mom! dad! as she ran with her sister into the most heartbreaking, heart-filling reunion. that was what fueled her. she’s lived such an incredible life in spite of all the loss she endured (shinobu means endure <3) & i truly am so happy that she can finally rest.

i will also personally fucking track down and bean anyone who ever went but she cAn’t BEhEaD dEmONs nyah nyah nyah. that’s a threat, yes

[B. P. Rinehart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Need to start the year off right with a good manga. Well, with the Upper Moon 2 demon defeated by a very long gambit, it only leaves 2 more lieutenants before the big bad. Upper Moon 2 was truly the most purely evil of the Upper Moon demons, the narrative doesn't even give him a post-death woobie sympathy scene like with all the other demons. The Upper Moon 4 is controlling the actual setting of the battlefield and Upper Moon 1 is pretty-much Mike Tyson-ing every one who he goes against which is understandable since it is all but confirmed that he is the first Demon Slayer swordsman turned into a demon—he even uses Demon Slayer sword techniques aka "breathing" instead of blood-demon-art. The last part of the manga has 4 different Demon Slayers (3 of them "hashira" aka Demon Slayer generals) trying to just put a dent in him while he is dog-walking them. We got until at least August 2021 until the last English translation wraps up and it will be wild from what I can guess. The art is as good as it has been since I have been reading the manga (the anime really excels in this department).

[James DeSantis · Rating 5 out of 5]

2023 Re-read: This is leading into the final fight with Rank 2 taken care of, we end up with Rank 1 and like I say in my original review, it'll take 3 Hashira to stop him. This feels like the end of the line for a few characters, and I love the overall tone and misery we have going here, with everyone pushing themselves to their limits but going on. Makes for a exciting and fun volume.

original Read: We finish up the fight with Inosuke and Kanao verse upper rank 2 and holy shit what a ending.

To see both Ino and Kanao work together is great and the surprise of fighting the Rank 2 at the end was both really well done, sad, and wonderful all at once. But we don't have time to breath (no pun intended) as the Rank 1 demon appears to face off against not 1, not 2, but 3 fucking Hashira. Can Gyomei, Tokito, and Sanemi stop the rank 1 demon or is it over before it began?

This is a brutal arc with plenty of deaths, people getting chopped up, and EVERYONE in danger. When you think of final arc, THIS is it. I feel the stakes rising every few pages. I'm not going to lie Demon Slayer will go down as top 5 manga of all time for me.

A 5 out of 5.
