I understand why some people thinks the fight between Muichiro and Gyokko seem shorter than the last time with Gyutaro and Daki so here are some my speculation:
1) Muichiro has gotten the mark so his strength, speed, durability get more enhanced. Not to mention that he's very strong for someone his age and became a Hashira at a young age has proved how powerful he is even without the mark.
2) Gyokko's fighting skill and range isn't as far as Gyutaro and Daki, and he isn't as destructive with his surrounding that much compare to the siblings. His attacks mainly focuses on Muichiro and are quick to vanish into ashes at being slices, leaving not traces left behind.
3) Muichiro basically more stronger than Gyokko with the mark: he is poisoned and bleeding around but still maintain a perfect strength and skill to keep up with Gyokko. The mark probably helps in slowing the poison too. So the fight is done quicker than the last fight in entertainment arc.
I think it's just me, but maybe the factor of destruction of the surrounding and the exaggeration of movement can manipulate the length of time shown. Gyokko punches and swipes a lot after transforming into his last form, and Muichiro dodges and moves only in that area without the need to jump across many trees.
Also, maybe their fight is happening at the same time as Tanjirou and the others. See how fighting Hantengu seem to take more time? With his rank and ability, Hantengu has far range fighting skill, splitting up to clones and the area of the battle expand more. Aizetsu has smaller fighting range while his other clones can expand the area more like Sekido with his thunder striking, Karaku with his wind blasting and especially Urogi who flies around and has high frequency soundwave shrieks.
Then comes Zohakuten and his dragons, so Tanjirou, Nezuko and Genya have to move around like, a LOT, to dodge and plan counter attacks. Mitsuri comes along then and she, with her unique sword, also has far range fighting skill so along with her perfect acrobatics ability, she's in her zone in fighting Hantengu.
Again, these are just my speculation though 👁️👁️
(they also did so WELL on Muichiro's smirk, capturing the sinister smirk and mocking eyes)
@missmungoe you were so right to write fics about Makino joining the Red-Hair crew cause she really has that pirate trait of stealing.
Stealing Shanks' friends and crews that's it.
Bonus Boa Hancock and Makino, in that one shot where Mihawk and Buggy fetch Makino from her bar and she manages to 'stand in' as Red Hair Pirate representative of sorts to make alliance with Hancock.
Love love Makino and Hancock interaction in that fic where Shanks is about to get executed.
Makino unintentionally getting on the good sides of some dangerous pirates is so funny.
Yes, you are, Douma.
Yes, you are.
I kinda dislike him but it's so fun to draw him 👀✨
Can we see the reincarnations of Tokito and Sora meeting again?
In the modern world, Sora becomes a music writer and she plays musical instruments by the street sometimes. Muichiro, now a successful novelist ( he writes the dreams he keeps having where there were demons in the past ), sees Sora for the first time, hits with nostalgic and falls in love again.
Unknowingly to him, Sora loves his books and is one of his fans. So when there's a signing event, she goes in line to get his signature, sees him, and feels warm and fuzzy inside.
They meet again, have some talks, and really like each other companies so they hook off a few months later.
Yeah sure go take the crying faces as your pfp 👁️👁️ 💕
@sunntownn , I love how you make Optimus is an anxious mess that worries for his soulmate but then there's his oblivious dumbass soulmate.
(replacing y/n with oc cause)
I need to say this after I Hantengu's anime debut.
Hantengu literally has Boboiboy's powers. Down to the power split and fusing to become stronger.
You're onto something here
Rushing sketch but i totally see the resemblance between Sekido and Thunderstorm; grumpy angry boi with thunder abilities. Only difference is Thunderstorm doesn't actually need to forcefully absorb his brothers 💀

Tanjirou doubles over, hand clasping over his lower face. He hears the man speak, but his voice sounds almost underwater-like. Muffled, too faint to be heard. The boy can't focus on what the man says. He barely registers the fallen documents containing the information of his internship in the facility.
He's too occupied with the stench coming from the man. The pungent, foul smell that has Tanjirou gagging, his knees buckling. He feels hands on his shoulders -- reflex surges through his muscles and he slaps the contact away.
Strickler stares, eyes wide and bewildered. Tanjirou shares the same look, although his resemble more of a cornered animal. Unsure and confused.
" You don't seem so well, Kamado boy. "
Tanjirou doesn't like how the nickname rolls off the man's tongue. It's supposed to be reserved for his teachers back in Japan. Not this one.
Not to this... creature, that has the scent of blood and horror warping around him.
" Let me contact your guardian. Take the day off. Maybe the difference of time between here and your country makes you feel sick. "
Tanjirou shakes his head, straightening his back and steadies his breathing. He just gets caught off guard. He needs to maintain composure.
Regardless of what he's facing right now. Whatever Strickler is, he doesn't smell like a human.
" Please excuse me, " Tanjirou feels his hand shaking, " I need a moment."
There is a lot he's feeling right now. The familiar feeling, that he had thought to be buried deep in himself along with the memories before he reincarnated, found its way back to the surface the first time he met Strickler.
The feeling of being in an unknown danger.
Sonic 3 spoiler (? I think?)
I like Sonic 3 more than I thought I would. Also, I like that Super Shadow's quills matches the shade of Maria's hair colour.
(doomed siblings my beloved)
(and also Maria would've loved Ivo)
(also also nobody talks to me I am still processing that Gerald and Shadow don't care that they died as long as they can destroy the world for what happened to Maria)
Has anyone ever think of how many times Kyojuro told stories to Senjuro of the golden age of their Hashira father and how Shinjuro used to be teaching them swordsmanship so Senjuro wouldn't grow up remembering their father as a depressed and abusive father?
If Senjuro barely even remembers the face of their mother and the old times, how would he remembered the gentle touch of their father when all he saw as he grew was an aggressive and alcoholic man?
The audio has been stuck on my head so here's some kny angst
