"Bright Red Sword" takes us deeper into the Swordsmith Arc and presents an onslaught of demons that Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the Hashira must face. The battle sequences reach new heights, matching the intensity of earlier, memorable episodes.
A special focus in this episode is placed on Mitsuri, a character known for her pleasant demeanor. The extent of her combat abilities is showcased, with her flexible blade demonstrating impressive strength. The geometric patterns on her weapon and clothing—a trademark of Koyoharu Gotouge's style—are depicted strikingly.
A disturbing element is introduced through the character Gyokko. This grotesque demon takes pleasure in reanimating corpses, viewing them as his artworks.
Gyokko's display of his ability to kill Tokito stands in stark contrast to the series' more conventional portrayal of demons. His morbid exhibition, coupled with the reanimation of his victims' death cries, adds an extra layer of horror and establishes him as a formidable antagonist.
The episode ends with Genya supporting Tanjiro in the fight against Hantengu, while Tokito must face Gyokko.
