Chapter 349 Nine Pillars

"Nezuko is not dead!!"

"What happened? Nezuko put on sunscreen? Are you not afraid of the sun anymore?!"

"Holy shit! This is the final form of Muzan's dream!"

"My tears just started to burst out, and I had such a big turn? My little heart can't stand it, old thief!"

"Old thief, I'm going to fuck you...you, you, you...old thief is awesome!!"

"My whole body is shaking!!"

…

When seeing this plot, anime fans all over Kyushu were excited!

Is there anything in this world that is more touching than being in a desperate situation and suddenly seeing the hope of a big turnaround?

Because of the "stainless record" of the old thief's previous works, almost all anime fans in Kyushu thought that Nezuko was dead. She was "killed" by the plot in order to let Tanjiro "evolve" before the final battle.

But at this time, Nezuko, a "ghost" who couldn't bask in the sun, was actually bathed in the sun.

In addition to being surprised, excited and moved, the audience also had complex emotions towards the old thief.

On the one hand, they were all grateful to the old thief for not killing him. After all, Nezuko was extremely popular.

On the other hand, they all hated the "plot setting" of the old thief!

【Okay, okay! You’ve learned new tricks now, right? Sherlock Holmes faked his death, which made readers all over Kyushu break their defenses, and so did Nezuko! Don’t you know that humans are animals with emotions? ! 】

【Depend on! I've obviously been fooled once when I was in Sherlock Holmes, how could I be fooled a second time! 】

[Ma Dan, I am really stupid. The old thief put so much ink on Nezuko’s body, how could he kill Nezuko so easily? It's just the fourth string, it's too unsightly. 】

In addition to these emotions, there is another point worthy of discussion and doubt by the audience, that is:

[Why can Nezuko overcome sunlight? 】

…

Regarding this answer, the anime quickly responded.

It turns out that Tanjiro had handed over the blood of Nezuko and Twelve Demons for research long ago, and the progress was very fast.

Tamashi, who was in charge of the research, found that the blood studied in the same way could restore some evil spirits to their sanity, and he also knew that Nezuko would defeat the sun in the near future.

As for the underlying reasons, although there is no detailed description in the anime, there may be many explanations, such as the mysterious "blue Higan flower", maybe Nezuko has taken it accidentally?

Although the plot of the Bladesmith Village chapter is extremely simple, it still generated a wave of crazy traffic at the end of the chapter, making people marvel at the magic of this anime.

…

When the ghost king Muzan learned that all the two evil ghosts were dead, he was not only not angry, but was so excited that his whole body was trembling, because Muzan knew about Nezuko's victory over Sunshine!

To be able to stand under the sun has always been Wuhan's lifelong wish.

"oh?"

"A tragic story?"

"How did Muzan become the King of Demons?"

Under the doubts of the audience, at the end of this chapter, the memoirs came to an end.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, Wumei was terminally ill and had only 20 years to live.

Because he was dissatisfied with the doctor's ineffective treatment, Wu Kai killed the doctor. However, it was not until the doctor died that Wu Kai realized that the doctor's treatment was effective, and he also gained an immortal and stronger body.

But Wu Mei began to crave human flesh and blood, and completely evolved into the original evil ghost.

Although killing and eating people is not a problem for Wu Mei who has gained great power.

But as long as he is exposed to sunlight, he will die. This has become Wu Mei's most fatal weakness!

Being unable to walk under the sun for the rest of his life made the "omnipotent" Wuhan feel extremely humiliated and angry, so he desperately tried to find the last medicinal ingredient to overcome the sun - the blue flower of the other side!

"I see!"

"I'm sorry, I suddenly found this part of my memoirs, and it immediately filled me with motivations!"

"Foreshadowing! This entire chapter is foreshadowing!"

As soon as Wuhan's experience came out, anime fans understood a lot of things instantly.

Why should the content of this chapter be set up like this!

You know, Tanjiro has always hated Muzan and the existence of evil spirits, except that evil ghosts eat people and are the opposite of justice.

Muzan is the culprit who killed Tanjiro's family and turned Nezuko into a ghost!

Tanjiro has enough reasons and motivations to kill Muzan!

Otherwise, just for the sake of "justice", at least in today's social environment, the audience will definitely not be interested.

Especially for adult anime viewers.

This is very different from the anime nature of "Digimon".

The motive must be reasonable. This is the logical core of the work. The same is true for novels. Just saving the world is too big and difficult for readers to empathize with.

On the other hand, Muzan versus Tanjiro, what about Nezuko, the brother and sister?

There is no special motive.

Perhaps in Muzan's eyes, Tanjiro has always been an ant, and Nezuko is a little bit special.

But Nezuko's victory over Yangguang became Wuhan's biggest motivation to get Nezuko.

This kind of confrontation without any retreat is actually the preparation for the finale of the entire work!

All anime fans know that as the protagonist, Tanjiro must face Muzan in the end. Only this kind of motivation description can make this decisive battle more logical!

…

Sure enough, after the Swordsmith Village chapter ended, the entire anime forum was discussing the setting of the third season's content plot.

Because after the Swordsmith Village chapter ended, it was the "Nine Pillars Training Chapter".

From the name of this chapter, it can be seen that the "Nine Pillars Training Chapter" may also have no climax, and it can even be said to be a "boring" chapter!

But this chapter is an indispensable chapter before the decisive battle.

Otherwise, with Tanjiro's current strength, there is no way to participate in the battle of the top combat power in "Demon Slayer".

In popular terms, it is a "transitional plot".

This kind of transitional plot to improve combat power is very common in all entertainment works, such as the plot of the protagonist's retreat in fantasy novels.

Or the "King Kai training" in the classic manga "Dragon Ball" in the previous life, or the Straw Hat Pirates in "One Piece" separated from each other, practiced for two years, and their strengths improved by leaps and bounds, entering the next stage, connecting the previous and the next plot.

The plot of "Nine Pillars Training" is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, it is to portray the nine pillars, introduce the combat characteristics of each pillar, and then become stronger, without any direct battle with evil spirits.

This plot is also "the calm before the storm".

…

Before Lao Zei and Lin Qiu appeared in Xiazhou's entertainment circle, it can be said that many of Xiazhou's audiences and fans did not have the ability to think independently. They believed what they heard and fell to the direction the wind blew.

But these two, especially Lao Zei.

There are too many face-slapping and reversals in the works.

Often, I think how could Lao Zei write such a plot in the last moment, and the next moment I give a thumbs up and say that Lao Zei is really awesome!

This has led to many viewers and readers wondering every time they see a plot:

"What is the deep meaning of the old thief arranging these plots like this?"

But even so, the plot of Nezuko's "death" still made anime fans couldn't hold back at the first time.

This PTSD has reached the point where the audience shrinks their necks and trembles whenever the old thief raises his hand.

They don't even know the old thief's true identity, and they can't scold him, so they can only wait for the death.

Immediately after the "Swordsmith Village Chapter", "Demon Slayer" aired the "Nine Pillars Training Chapter", which is not long and the content is also mainly about daily life, but the tranquility before the decisive battle makes the audience nervous.

"All nine pillars are fine..."

"I don't know how many will survive in the finale. I guess one of them will definitely die in this battle."

"Of course, the big brother Flame Pillar has died. It's a sign."

"I like Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu the most!"

"I like Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu one more!"

...

In the previous "Demon Slayer" plot, the Water Pillar Giyuu at the beginning, the Flame Pillar who died later, the disabled Sound Pillar, and the Mist Pillar and Love Pillar who appeared in the "Swordsmith Village" chapter were all portrayed in detail.

In the Nine Pillars Training Chapter, the other pillars were also supplemented.

Snake Pillar Obanai is a long-haired boy with a bit of a sharp tongue and heterochromatic eyes. The snake breathing he uses is a derivative of water breathing. He seems to have an unusual relationship with the Love Pillar.

Wind Pillar Saneya is the brother of Xuanya in the previous Swordsmith Village chapter. He gave people a bad impression from the beginning because he strongly disagreed with the coexistence of humans and demons.

Rock Pillar Gyomei, a giant in monk's clothes, has a very long scar on his forehead and is blind, but he is the most powerful existence in the Demon Slayer Corps, no doubt about it!

In addition to the above pillars, in this world, the most popular of the nine pillars...

It is not the Flame Pillar who shined in the Infinite Train Arc and died heroically in the end, nor is it the most powerful Rock Pillar!

But it is the Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu!

In the popularity vote of the nine pillars in the previous life "Demon Slayer", the Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu also topped the list many times!

Why is it so popular? In fact, the reason is very simple.

While being black-bellied, righteous and not saintly, he is also a little tsundere, even yandere!

This unique character charm is rare in the anime industry, and it is actually quite difficult to shape a character with this personality so that the audience will not be bored.

It's a pity...

These viewers don't know the final ending of Kocho Shinobu, otherwise they would probably curse loudly...

In the final battle of Infinite Castle, Kocho Shinobu was eaten by the second Upper Rank Douma in one bite, using her body as bait, and it can be said that she died together with him. It is one of the most tragic deaths of the pillars.

...

With such expectations and discussions, the calm before the storm finally gradually passed.

What will follow will be the real storm!

"Demon Slayer"...

Infinite Castle Arc!!
