I was going to recommend doing this, you might have to split it a little more though, i hope the 2 parter works
Rengoku's death opened up the other hashira's eyes to how powerful the uppermoons were and helped motivate them to get stronger.
Just to clarify, Akaza is likely the most moral of the twelve kizuki, and he only strives to get stronger and stronger. He has an entire moral code he follows for how he conducts himself. It was a great foil against Rengoku, because you can see even the best person among the demons does not even hold a flame to one of the best Hashira. You lose your humanity, even if you try to cling to it, as a demon.
Rengoku as a character is so likeable, but his final stand made me genuinely adore him and remember him in such a positive light. The Uppermoons are such a threat that Akaza was basically toying with Rengoku the entire time, until Rengoku made one last ditch effort to try and kill him. He probably knew he was done for, but he still gave it his all because he knew he was the only one that possibly had the strength to save everyone, and he wanted to use it, even at the cost of his life. Even two seasons after his death I'd say he's still my favorite Hashira.
Fun fact: "Rengoku" can translate to "Purgatory", so Rengoku's ninth form is called Purgatory

@@haydenberends3905 Japanese as a language is heavily context sensitive. The same sentence can have multiple translations. There was a site I used to read manga on that had fan translators and they often had the translators write up small articles about the process. It was very enlightening and made me realize even sub anime is likely inaccurate. Like in this example, would the subtitle be "Purgatory", "Hellfire", or would they simply translate it as "Rengoku" and not fully explain the context?
Rengoku definitely gave his all. He knew after his first few hits he was not strong enough to beat Akaza, but he knew if his pupils who were watching him to still fight with all his heart, that they can beat him and avenge where he has fallen

not just that, before rengoku, nobody has any idea how strong and how uppermoon's work. Rengoku did a very good job by keeping the trio alive so they could get the informations about the 12 kizukis for the other hashiras to hone their skills
inosuke running up to tanjiro crying while saying "CMON TANJIRO! LETS GO TRAIN OUR ASSES OFF!!!" REALLY got to me too the first time i saw this. it too made me realize that the trio are FOR SURE not even at their truest peak/potential yet in order to put a stop to demons.

30:47 Rengoku making Akaza experience the same level of terror Zeke felt at Levi's hands. Even though they both escaped, they were forever shook by their close encounters with super powerful swordsmen.
No spoilers, but let’s just say things would’ve gone differently if another upper moon had been sent to send a message. Akazas mindset of loving to fight and train can be seen pretty clearly here. He could’ve won the fight the second time he hit rengoku and killed everyone else in short order but he chose to drag out a fight with the hashira cuz he wanted to train and recruit him. This let rengoku delay long enough that Akaza had to run before killing anyone else. Other demons would’ve chosen to kill the biggest threat quickly and then butcher and eat every human there.

Essentially Akaza's Compass allows him to read someones battle spirit making it where he can predict an opponents movements. So the more battle spirit a demon slayer has the easier the fight is for Akaza.

I remember when I first saw this , I literally got teary eyed cause of the end. At least he went out like a true warrior hero.
Rengoku in japanese means Purgatory, so that is why he named his last, and also his own unique breathing form after himself. (its like Gyu´s 11 th water form, while lower rank demon slayers knows 10 water forms for example)

If you don't speak Japanese then don't ever say things like this. It's absolutely dumb how people will die on a hill saying sub is better when they don't have any understanding of the language at all. You don't know if they are using words out of context. You don't know if they pronounce words correctly. You don't know if they are applying appropriate emphasis in the right places according to how thr language is spoken. Hell you dont even know if they are saying what the subtitles say. The only thing you can comment on is the English dub because you can understand the language and how it's used. You have 0 clue if the sub is truly better because you don't understand any of it

@@razerscale3590 YES!!!!!!! THIS. 100%. Also, if you're used to watching sub, then dub is going to sound weird and off, especially at first. Likewise, if you watch in dub then sub is like nails on a chalkboard. I agree 100%. Even with the sub, and assuming it's accurate, you still miss sooooo much watching sub. You miss slight nuance, context, hidden jokes, etc. Without any understanding of how Japan uses language and slang and dialect etc, etc, it's extremely silly to say "the acting is so much better". Honestly, they have no clue if it is! And the English acting is fantastic! It just seems off when you're so used to it in Japanese. That's it.
That last question😂 Yes Akaza is hot can’t wait for season 4 and 5 so you get to know him. He is actually one of my top 3 favorite demons in the series.
When I first watched this movie, I thought it was good, but not great. It was a solid 6 or 7 out of ten. Then we got to the fight between Rengoku and Akaza. It made this film a 10!. The fight was beautiful, well animated, and the story of the battle was fantastic.

i remember me, my mom, and my brother went to th theater to watch this movie and i just remember sobbing during the end of the movie and my mom got us starbucks after to make us feel better LOL the lights turn on after the movie and everyone in the theater is just sitting there sniffling and stuff. i cried the rest of the night lmao
Him: Wait, there's 40 minutes left in the movie. Me: **Freaking out with upcoming most amazing and sad scene in years.**
Really hope it sticks this time, thanks for your hard work kenny!
When Rengoku burst into flames completely even though he was on the verge of death reminded me of lucario the Pokémon and it’s power reversal (which makes it uses to make it stronger depending on how damaged it is, the more damaged the stronger).
Akaza is my favorite of the Twelve Kizuki, and part of the reason is because i hear Felix from Fire Emblem Three Houses every time he talks. X3
rengoku at that time had the third highest potential as he was not even trained by his dad and he is self taught and became a hasira in 2 years and he was in this arc was the third strongest hashira after gyomei and sanemi
If there's ever a rescreening around yall, I highly recommend going to see it in theaters. The Akaza fight hits different on the big screen
Ren Goku's fate never really hit me as hard as it did for others.
I was just as confused as you guys were with the Akaza fight given how early the Lower One demon was defeated relative to the remaining time in the film. Knew we were in for some bigger plot twist, but didn't expect it to be so sad. T_T
I'm happy to rewatch this as many times its re-uploaded 😁
calling akaza a coward isn’t necessarily true considering not running away just results in certain death
The end of this movie really does feel like a punch in gut. ......🫠
Rengoku is the name of the last attack because Rengoku is purgatory in Japanese. the correct translation would be "ninth posture, purgatory"
I prefer who all watching. Demon slayer watch it in Japanese with subtitles, because get you can get the goosebumps feeling that that much in English dub
i can never call akaza a coward because he was literally running from the sun

Well, here's hoping it won't get taken down this time. I posted this story on the first upload, so here it is again. When I saw this movie in the theater, one of the trailers was for the latest (at the time) Disney live action film. And the moment we realized it was a prequel story about Cruella DeVille, everyone in the room (myself included) let out a loud groan.
You still have to give rengoku alot of credit. He is ranked level 6 hashira. Took on the 3rd strongest demon and still almost killed him and was strong enough to catch one of his punches and held out till daylight. That's still a victory since no one else was killed. No one can take akaza alone but rengoku did the best. Had it been upper rank 5 or 6 rengoku would be able to kill them by himself. But 4 is where they are getting to the point were 2 or more hashira are needed to kill them

I think you do have to give him a lot of credit but it's just not true that he was remotely close to beating Akaza. Infinity castle showed Akaza was far stronger than he showed here even against marked hashiras. Akaza was never in any danger until his arms were stuck in Rengoku. And there in lies the most impressive part, holding akaza there for even a few seconds is truly impressive, with just his muscles. Unfathomable feat. But still it is not right to say he was close to beating akaza

If you read the manga, you’d see what you just said gives WAY too much credit to Rengoku. Akaza could have easily speed blitzed him in seconds. He didn’t even use a single kicking ability.

can we please recognize Rengoku fucking catching Akaza's punch??? holy fuck that always blows me away.
Rengoku's death hurts every time,
SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE!
The thing is, most people don't realise how strong Akaza is.. Because he wasn't giving his all with Rengoku. The only reason he almost got beaten is because he was toying with Rengoku the whole fight (you can see the first moment he was surprised was when Rengoku cut his left arm with his ultimate technique and the only moment he stopped smiling, thus taking it seriously, was just after when he deflected the slice with his other arm), until the end where he was genuinely not playing anymore when he noticed the slash would be dangerous, thus leading to him plunging his fist into Rengoku's belly. That's the only moment in the whole fight where Akaza actually fought seriously, and that's exactly when Rengoku lost. Now yeah, Rengoku could have won this fight if it wasn't for Akaza being genuinely surprised to be stuck and that Rengoku's devotion to protect all the 204s passenger actually gave him hummongous last resort strength ; not to mention the sun about to rise. Remove the rising sun and maybe Akaza would have died with Rengoku, and I say MAYBE But remove all the passengers, and Akaza destroys him with barely to none effort
Upper 3 is far beyond an average hashira
Akaza really is a menace
Rengoku will always be loved ❤😢
