With the start of the Swordsmith Arc, Episode 2 titled "What They Wish For," the series slows down and focuses on character development and relationship building. Fans of the anime will appreciate this change of pace, as it allows for a deeper understanding of the characters and their motivations.
In this episode, we meet the cold Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, and the young swordsmith Kotetsu. While Muichiro's harsh treatment of Tanjiro and Kotetsu reveals his cruel nature, Tanjiro's unrelenting optimism offers hope that his positive attitude might eventually soften Muichiro's demeanor.
Kotetsu, on the other hand, takes center stage in this episode. He shares his fears with Tanjiro about living up to his family name and the responsibility of inheriting a mechanical training doll. As the two bond, we learn more about how the doll aids Tanjiro in his training, adding depth to both characters.
The main focus of this episode is Tanjiro's training with the mechanical doll. While it may not deliver the high-octane action sequences fans are accustomed to, the expressive visuals and fluid animation make it a visual treat. The episode highlights the importance of the large, sweeping movements Tanjiro learns to execute during his training with the doll.
In "What They Wish For," we also get a glimpse into Tanjiro's true personality. Though he comes across as a model student, his actions reveal a petty and reactive side. This leads to some entertaining interactions as Tanjiro tries to understand why people react differently to his well-intentioned meddling.
