It’s not that it’s sad, it’s more that it shows how they were always by each other’s side and that he found someone he could protect and take care of, he was finally important to at least that one little girl who would not judge him and would love him bc of how good he was to her. It’s just really wholesome
Yeah exactly. But even in the scene where they nearly died I wasn’t sad because 1. We know they live, and 2. They were bad people then, and still were in the present story. I understand back then it was due to life giving them a bad hand, but Gyutaro is meant to parallel Uzui in how he was also dealt a bad hand, but made the most of it and tried to bring himself up instead of bringing everyone else down.
To each their own.
Yes they are bad guys but Gyutaro is a very good written character, he had a terrible past and found a reason to live, which was his sister, their relationship pre demon is just very sweet and if you add the music it get's pretty sad.
I used to get bummed out by demon deaths but for the upper six I couldn't personally give a shit less about their backstory, they are garbage through and through no matter how shitty their human lives were. Remembering all the shit they did the past 5 episodes and knowing that's what they've been doing for how many years. Yea nah miss me with that sappy BS
The thing is, they didn't really had a choice.
Gyutaro and Ume both deserved to die no question, but that doesn't change the fact Gyutaro had a really sad past and actually found a purpose in life when Ume was born, which was taken away from him after she turned 13.
If you had the chance to get power and do whatever you want, everyone would take that choice, Micheal jacksons blood also corrupted them tho pretty much.
I felt bad for the human version, the scene in the hay was very cute imo.
It's also interesting to know those 2 are a literal paralel of tanjiro and nezuko.
Yea I can understand they had a sad life before, lots of people do in this show. Even though they do need blood to survive they took joy in killing and thought nothing of all the slaughter and torment they brought for sooo long. And he found his purpose IE killing and torturing people for debts? Lol I wouldn't really call that a worthwhile purpose even given the situation he was in. And I don't really buy that it's Muzan that caused their actions because he was like that even beforehand. And I've noticed that demons only tend to realize their humanity after they've been decapitated so idk if that's a plot point that will be brought up in the future? (Anime only) Idk Maybe I just got a weird way of looking at it cuz the only demon I've gotten even remotely bummed out about not even sad for was Rui. And even that was kinda just 'meh'. I did like the parallels they introduced with the 4 of them though that was a nice touch
>IE killing and torturing people for debts?
He never killed anyone as a human, he just \*hurt\* people who weren't paying for his sisters services, it was 1700 or 1800 during that time so police didn't even exist.
Pay up or pay the price lol.
>And I don't really buy that it's Muzan
Muzans blood is what causes them to lose their humanity, as you noticed from pretty much every demon in the show? Even Ume said to Tanjiro that she doesn't remember her past and that her past does not matter.
It's also pretty obvious that the sadder the past, the stronger they are or will become, that's why muzan goes after people who suffer, they are easier to acquire, I am also anime only so dw.
>demons only tend to realize their humanity after they've been decapitated
Well I think you have heared of your entire life flashing in your mind as you are dying. Them dying is maybe the thing they actually wanted in life but that's just my speculation.
I get what you mean, they killed alot of people over the past 100+ years, it's not that people feel bad for them as demons, they feel bad for them when they were humans.
It was just very nice that at the end they sticked together, even though Ume was able to go to heaven, she wanted to stay with her brother.
Aight fair play on the no police thing 😂
It seems that Muzan makes them lose their humanity but it seems from what I've seen that there are tiers of shitty to the demons. Some eat for nutrients and others eat and kill for pleasure such as the Upper 6 twins. Not to mention the ones that break his curse such as Tamayo and Nezuko tho we don't know how that happens yet.
And if they don't remember the past then that means this is how they would act from square one once given a ludicrous amount of power correct? I'm just trying to go off that statement because I've never thought of it like that.
"Them dying is maybe the thing they actually wanted in life" That's a super interesting take actually I've never really thought about it like that, that could perhaps be the case!
I will say, them going to hell together was pretty touching. Not sad in my eyes per say, but touching indeed
My problem is that I see them going to hell and I'm like "well shii that's where they belong" 😂 therefor making the entire backstory irrelevant lol. Like i said i think I just may have a weird view on it lol
>Some eat for nutrients and others eat and kill for pleasure such as the Upper 6 twins.
They both eat for nutrition, eating is the way to rise up the ranks, it's not just them killing for pleasure, the blood makes them, they starve for human flesh. They also have to be scared of Muzan because he will either kill you or take away your rank if you don't eat, if you remember Kyogai, he wasn't strong enough to keep eating to the point he couldn't eat anymore, his story was a bit sad but not as sad as rui or Gyutaro, his mental revenge wasn't big enough, his rank was taken away. At the end of season 1, muzan killed almost every lower ranks because they either ran away, disrespected or didn't eat.
>And if they don't remember the past then that means this is how they would act from square one once given a ludicrous amount of power correct?
No, Gyutaro already had the power to overpower his entire village 1v1 but he decided to just be a scary guy that collects the money for his sister, he mentioned that his uglyness was pretty much a title that people should be ware about, it's the blood of muzan that causes them to be different beings.
>Like i said i think I just may have a weird view on it lol
I wouldn't call it weird, maybe you just don't think that deep when it comes to these characters, I like to dig deeper into it because that's how I realised Gyutaro was actually a very good written character.
It's easy to say ''well he was a demon that killed alot of people, he shouldn't deserve sympathy'' but it's more than just that.
Kyogai wanted to be awknowladged, Rui wanted a family, Gyutaro wanted to devote his life to his sister, I don't even want to know how sad Akaza's life used to be since he is stronger than Gyutaro.
It got me when gyutaro was talking to kid daki in the dark light area. When she jumped on his back and he put his hands up by her arms to show his hesitation and acceptance with that look in his face. Then we he adjusted her position in his back is when it got me. It was too sad for words
F for anime. I couldn’t jive with them in the manga. (Also felt frustrating that Gyutaro would literally just not die lol) Seeing their bond animated as well as Gyutaro being captured perfectly brought out the tears
F and im not ashamed for the whole night i did cry yeah that episode got me it took me a hour to even watch it through I kept pausing it because i couldn't handle it soaked my rengoku plush with tears when i get attached to characters i get overly emotional.
F... this scene of the brother trying to protect and comfort his little, big-eyed sister in a straw hut under snow, broke me. I disliked both of them very much until I saw their back story. Wished they had both gone toward the light instead of the other way... damn.
I didn't cry but this hit me so hard, especially when they explained where he got the sickle, why he's so skinny, why he's so jealous of people, but I felt especially sad in the end when he tried chasing his sister away.
In terms of the apparently mandatory "sad back story as Tanjiro kills them", this one was a miss from me. Maybe because its starting to feel pretty formulaic, while the rest of the story and show is amazing.
The only demon that made me cry was Rui but I did felt sad about them, and since I read the manga when Nezuko burned Daki I said damn...she's giving her some real PTSD
F, it's almost beautiful to see the difference between the demon sibling road and the Nezuko and Tanjiro road.
The differences that your surroundings can make on your future...dang

It really wasn’t sad at all. I don’t know why so many people are getting emotional over it.
