Top 10 Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc Moments
Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we are counting down our picks for the Top 10 Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba Mugen Train Moments. For this list, we’re going to be looking over the best scenes to stem from the Demon Slayer movie. There’s a reason this thing became the highest grossing animated movie in history! Think we missed any delicious moments? Burn with the heart of Rengoku and let us know in the comments, and be aware of the non-stop Spoiler Breathing Techniques ahead!
#10: Sweet Dreams
As insidious as it is comforting, the Lower Moon Enmu’s Blood Demon Art allows him to trap his prey in a dream that fulfils their greatest desires, whilst leaving their bodies vulnerable to attack. It's here we get to see an insight into the cast’s mentality. Tanjiro, naturally, dreams of his family still being alive and going about their daily, humble lives. Zenitsu and Inosuke are on the more selfish side of things. The boar headed swordsman seems himself as the proud leader, with his anthropomorphic minions at his beck and call, while the living lightning bolt imagines a surprisingly tame jaunt with Nezuko!
#9: Zenitsu Saves Nezuko
While somewhat relegated to the background, Nezuko and Zenitsu did at least get a moment to shine. With the Mugen Train now under Enmu’s control, all the passengers become hostages. Luckily, everyone’s favourite demon girl arrives on the scene to save them before they get tentacled to death! Even with her enhanced strength and killer nails, it’s not enough to save her from nearly getting torn apart. Luckily, she has a knight in yellow robes to come in at the last second. Guess Enmu didn’t count on the world’s deadliest sleepwalker to show up.
#8: Rengoku Doesn’t Skip Grip Day
Goes to show that the Hashira are just a cut above the rest. While Rengoku was subjected to Enmu’s hypnosis and left to dwell in the deepest dream, that didn’t mean he was left totally defenceless. Before Enmu’s devious little minions can stab out his spiritual core and ensure his demise, Rengoku’s body switches into attack mode, unleashing one hell of a strangle hold that puts his assailant in their place. This is why you don’t go around poking in places you’re not supposed to!
#7: Anguish of the Hashira
The Hashira may be the most powerful swordsmen among the Demon Slayer Corp, but it’s also clear they don’t always get along. Not surprising considering just how eruptive and diverse their personalities are. And yet, in the wake of Rengoku’s death, all of them come together to grieve in their own way. Some with sorrow, others with anger, though all joined by a mutual respect for their former companion. Despite being the most stoic among them, you can just tell that Giyu is probably hit by it the hardest.
#6: Something to Cut
Top 10 Best Demon Slayer Fights
Tanjiro’s decision to escape the dream and lose the chance to be with his family may have been heart-breaking, but that was only part of the problem, there was still the small issue of escape. Trapped in a mental prison of his own making, there seemed to be no way out for Tanjiro…at least until he received some cryptic advice from his father beyond the grave. Despite being unsure of the consequences, Tanjiro chooses to take the plunge, and cuts his own neck. Lucky for him, nearly slicing your head off is a sure-fire dream-destroyer.
#5: Coward
The only thing more frustrating than seeing the Flame Hashira lose his life following his bout with the Third Upper Moon, is watching said demon fleeing the scene. Fearful of the sunlight, Akaza makes a quick getaway, but not before Tanjiro sends him packing with a goodbye present – courtesy of a katana to the back. Enraged, Tanjiro voices his despair and frustration as he declares Akaza, and demons as a whole, cowards for running away from the sun, while humans never flee from a fight no matter what. While we would have loved to see him land the killing blow, at least we have the makings of a monumental revenge match.
#4: Clear Blue Sky
Given how Tanjiro unlocking the power of Hinokami was the highlight of the previous season, watching him utilise it to bring down an entire demon train was on a whole other level. After identifying Enmu’s weak point, both Tanjiro and Inosuke swing into action, unleashing a combo that exposes the Lower Moon’s nape. How does one slice apart an entire train’s work of demon bone? Well, if you’re Tanjiro, you switch up styles, start breathing fire, and unleash a technique as beautiful as it is devastating.
#3: Tanjiro vs Enmu
No amount of lullabies was going to save this demon after he messed with memories of Tanjiro’s family. Despite still being able to render Tanjiro to sleep with his Blood Demon Art, the young swordsman’s indomitable willpower is able to overcome it…by continuously taking his own life again and again to wake himself up. While that’s metal as all hell, the real kicker Is when Enmu tries to twist his dreams into a nightmare, and all this does is piss Tanjiro off even more. It’s beyond satisfying to see the smug demon get his comeuppance when he gets his throat bitten out by a water dragon!
#2: The Death of Rengoku
Top 10 Things to Remember Before Watching Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc
He shone too brightly, and as such was gone too quickly. While he put up one hell of a fight, not even the Flame Hashira was able to bring down one of the strongest Demon Moons, though he came pretty close! Moments from passing over, Rengoku chooses to spend his last moments passing on his will to Tanjiro, what it means to be a Demon Slayer, and even giving his blessing to his sister for her to join their ranks. If that isn’t enough to cause you to break down, then Rengoku seeing the ghost of his mother will take care of that.
#1: Rengoku vs. Akaza
UFOtable, you magnificent bastards. Not only was this battle a complete surprise, but just might be the best the franchise has ever produced. Facing off against the Third Upper Moon. Rengoku goes all out with his Flame Breathing techniques, while Akaza matches him beat for beat with his hellish martial arts. Everything here is at the pinnacle, from the choreography to the visuals, and especially the music. Of course, the one who really brings it all together is Rengoku, whose unflinching personality and sword skills literally light up the screen!
