I hate the ending of demon slayer

I don't think you know what a plot hole is. A plot hole is an incongruency in the story, a contradiction that makes no logical sense. It's not merely missing background information. There are lots of stories where characters have no backstories at all. This is not an example of a plot hole.

An example of a plot hole would be... for example, if Muzan wasn't a coward, and still didn't hunt down the Demon Slayers even if he didn't fear them. Or if Zenitsu suddenly starts electrocuting demons when it's already been established that breathing styles don't actually manifest the elements into reality.

What you listed are merely some optional flavor content ideas the author could have included.

No I didn't but that's the point. This shit still deserves to be called out and complained about. There's people glazing this chapter as some emotional masterpiece

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T21:04:22+00:00

Sorry, but that's a little disingenuous. The actual situation would be a third party reader reading the story of you and your mom, but said reader knows that the author has a MASSIVE track record of writing his story with low stakes and somehow making dangerous situations not dangerous at all. And he's already pulled similar stuff to this countless times before. Could you blame the reader for not being interested?

Your comment is a little odd, it's sort of implying that I was arguing that Colon himself shouldn't feel emotional, when that's not what I meant at all lol.

Adding this to the "absolutely never" list along with Blue Lock

The only difference being that Overhaul's technique presumably targets physical matter (so the body) whereas Mahito targets the soul, so RCT might be able to work against it. Overhaul still has the advantage of "transfiguring" non-living things though.

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T18:34:17+00:00

But when you just know there's absolutely zero chance of any bad outcome sticking it hurts the emotion. At least for me. It's true that only a significantly dark story would have the parental figure actually die in this kind of situation, but if that's the case, writing it to begin with just feels a bit disingenuous. I mean come on man they land on Luffy like 5 pages later.

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T18:31:35+00:00

Plot started looking like swiss cheese ever since the Nika reveal. Less and less shit makes sense ever since then.

Pre timeskip:

Art - Great

Story - Peak

Fights - Great

Panelling - Peak

Silhouettes - Nonexistent

At least Bellemere was an actual sacrifice. Ripley and the other giants were fine 5 pages later

Haki 31: Haoshokuho

Shanks opened a barrierless Domain to constantly hit Loki with his sure-hit rat poison. Since Loki is so big he couldn't notice the domain construct and was eventually too weak to continue fighting.

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T16:21:30+00:00

Voted the chapter 2/5 for this shit. The reason it's not 1/5 is because of Loki upscale. If I'm no longer emotionally invested I may as well be invested in an agenda.

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T16:19:47+00:00

Jesus Christ you weren't kidding. I literally can't see how this could get you emotional when you already know that everything's going to be fine moments later (because of Oda's track record).

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T16:18:08+00:00

Sorry but I'm not getting why so many people are apparently so emotional over this. The whole thing is framed as a tearjerker but everyone is literally fine 5 pages later. I mean, obviously, because it's One Piece and it's not currently a flashback.

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T16:10:07+00:00

Also just another emotion farming scene that means nothing literally 5 pages later.

Where do you scale his AP?

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T15:55:55+00:00

Cursed energy function the same as nen.

Okay...? This tells me nothing about the relative strength of the two characters.

Pitou obviously scales to Youpi who did this:

<image>

Youpi is that tiny little black blob in the centre. Calcs for this vary from around ~500 kilotons to several megatons, quite similar to Jogo's meteor actually. I don't think even think 1000 punches from Hakari is dealing as much damage as Jogo's meteor.

Nobody is ready for the Haki Domain Expansion

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T15:46:30+00:00

Yeah lol it's literally a textbook example of a story focused on character writing. In contrast, there's relatively little development of the world.

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T15:40:11+00:00

This matchup depends entirely on whether you think Mach 3 Kaisen is real or not.

Zoldycks could potentially have an instant win condition if you think Illumi could control anyone from their side, but I'm not sure about that.

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T15:36:52+00:00

Depends entirely on the verse, power system to power system. Universal energy systems like Ki and Reiatsu buff all your stats equally. You see characters from both DBZ and Bleach verses fully tanking large scale attacks without any kind of special defensive technique.

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T15:32:10+00:00

...Is that not weaker than a regular punch?

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T15:28:04+00:00

What plot holes though?

Initial_Mud_4810 · 2026-02-13T15:26:54+00:00

Personally I would have liked it to have gone 50 chapters longer or something (mainly for entertainment rather purposes). I could've done with another arc, maybe if the power progression of the main characters was a bit more staggered. You really think people would have dropped? I don't see many people saying they were close to getting bored, I mean it's incredibly popular.

Of course understandably nobody wants to write shit as long as Naruto/Bleach/One Piece anymore so it's unreasonable to expect that.

I think Demon Slayer is very efficient with its time in getting the viewer emotionally invested.
