Demon Slayer Producer Reveals His Most-Anticipated Anime Moment

The story of Tanjiro becoming a Demon Slayer in order to avenge his fallen family and reverse the demon transformation of his sister Nezuko is chock full of high octane action scenes and heart wrenching emotional beats. Recently, Yuma Takahashi had the opportunity to open up with Anime News Network about which scene he is most anticipating that has yet to appear in the anime proper from the original manga source material. Needless to say, there are still plenty of heart pounding scenes coming down the pike from the story of Tanjiro.

Takahashi has yet to receive confirmation on whether season two will be an eventuality or fall to the wayside, though he did not that it will be up to fans and their level of support to determine whether Tanjiro makes another return appearance. Still, there are a number of scenes from the manga that fans may be able to look forward to, which the franchise's producer elaborates on:

"Without spoiling anything, one thing I'm most anticipating and want fans to look forward to seeing is the battle with Rui, whose episode we are actually premiering today. The fight scene between Tanjiro and Rui is on quite an unprecedented level of accomplishment from Ufotable." Takahashi expands on this by saying, "It even exceeds what fans have seen in previous episodes. It's not just that I'm excited, but it was also ufotable's aim to create the most exciting fight scene possible. And everything else that happens in Mt. Natagumo is something I can't wait for the fans to see."
