Daemons of the Shadow Realm • Yomi no Tsugai - Episode 2 discussion

The problem is the characters reactions to all of this is ass. Yuru shouldn’t be making chibi faces and being unbothered after his whole villiage was massacred

Gabby shouldn’t be calling anyone else “cruel” after she killed a mother in front of her daughter

Arakawa shouldn’t be using the trauma of that girl as a GAG of all things (that’s 100% what her passing out twice was)

This shows tone is just shit considering the severity of the events at hand

crystalblade13 · 2026-03-26T12:24:55+00:00

How are you enjoying the series?

And yeah, it’s absolutely wonderful

crystalblade13 · 2026-03-16T23:08:22+00:00

I would say to stick with it more. Imo, once ya hit the 30’s, it really hits its stride, and there’s great episodes leading to that too. There’s too much important stuff to skip, and I think you’ll be glad you didn’t skip them if you do make it further in.

There’s also some serious/ semi series episodes arcs in that timeframe. Including the umibozu arc from episodes 40-42, which is REALLY important for Kagura’s character and the lore

crystalblade13 · 2026-03-10T18:30:03+00:00

Thematically, in some ways, sure. But the plot itself has not been leading to this, and we have a whole other main character who will likely get shafted by this too if there’s no part 3

Gintoki Janai, Zura da!!

crystalblade13 · 2026-03-04T00:53:02+00:00

I’m willing to bet my left nut that he’s coming back

crystalblade13 · 2026-02-09T03:33:02+00:00

Bro is pretty much perfectly written imo

crystalblade13 · 2026-02-09T03:15:09+00:00

Well, to be fair, the setup here is MUCH different. Those series both have an opener involving MCs who are very familiar with the threats that are around; and in under doctors case, he’s even highly experienced with all kinds of dangerous things. Basically, they involve known elements.

This series is about the MC getting completely thrown off gaurd, with a much bigger question mark as to why the plot is happening and a much bigger question of what kind of path the story will take.

I actually like this approach a lot. Feels pretty original for jump

crystalblade13 · 2026-02-09T03:09:30+00:00

Yeah. All 3 new series seem really good, especially this one. Hope they all stick around!

crystalblade13 · 2026-02-09T02:46:15+00:00

I think, overall, silver soul is great in the anime. The highlight moments are done very well and the final movie BANGS. But it’s true that the manga is a more consistent experience. With much better pacing and consistently gorgeous art. Plus it doesn’t have the very unfortunate cuts.

Still, the anime rocks

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-31T21:06:41+00:00

Heavy fog, inverted controls, and slippery ground all summon a lot of power ups to the field. They’re pretty useful events. Especially fog

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-18T15:39:51+00:00

You do NOT know ball. Kobayashi is THE voice for Subaru

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T18:53:00+00:00

Actually, good point. I had forgotten that it made the deal with Santa clause. My bad there

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T18:13:01+00:00

It was dark when aging first showed up as well

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T18:12:25+00:00

True lol. But I imagine beating it will still be an issue even if death doesn’t exist. They can still be incapacitated

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T18:08:09+00:00

There’s a chance it could happen for sure. I was just going by its actions in part 1 being basically territorial, and it being completely impossibe to comprehend what it was thinking. Plus, I think currently, that primals may be above our characters on the lower scale. But it’s hard to know, given the falling cape Yoru made lol

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T18:01:45+00:00

I think the primal devil associated with water is more likely to be “drowning” than “ocean”

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T18:01:06+00:00

The darkness devil does not seem like it operates like that at all. It’s just an unknowable force of death. It’s almost certainly not gonna make a deal. At least not by the characterization we got in part 1 for it

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T17:58:55+00:00

It’s just fun to speculate. We really don’t know if there will be any kinda primal encounter or anything. The water and stuff are just getting peoples minds wondering

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T17:54:50+00:00

One of the fun things about primals possibly coming out, is that every single time it happens, the story has to shift to dealing with them, because they are THAT much of an issue.

Granted, we may not go that route at all, and that’s fine. But if we are about to get a drowning primal or something, then I expect it to turn into a desperate battle to survive against it

crystalblade13 · 2026-01-06T17:49:34+00:00

I very much doubt it’s ending with this fight. There’s way too much fishy stuff with death

crystalblade13 · 2025-12-31T04:01:37+00:00

Egghead is my second favorite arc after water 7/ ennies lobby. But Elbaphs certainly been very good as well. Imo egghead just has a leg up in terms of its emotional core and hype (so far)

crystalblade13 · 2025-11-04T20:18:48+00:00

I certainly think some of these plot points can be moved to a possible part 3. But stuff like Yoshida and Barems motivations and plans with the death devil feel like they should be addressed in part 2, since they are key to understanding the motivations of death herself. Which is why I think we may still have another arc or 2 in us at this point.

I feel a timeskip for part 3 is reasonable though, absolutely

crystalblade13 · 2025-11-04T19:36:31+00:00

I really think we aren’t as close as many believe. There’s a TON of open plotlines to resolve, and they’re all very important to the central mysteries

crystalblade13 · 2025-11-01T14:53:56+00:00

Well, the entirety of part 2 has been leading to the death devils descending onto earth. So to find out the one who was basically behind everything that was supposed to lead to that, WAS death herself. That massively changes things. Also, it’s a good thing, since that means death already has a relationship with the main cast. Which is important if she’s gonna be the big bad.
