The second season of Demon Hunter it continues towards an ending that promises to crackle. In the first part of episode 2x16 we witnessed memories of the not easy past of Tengen Uzui, Pillar of Sound, who fights with the terrible demon Gyutaro in the present.

Demon Slayer 2x16 is fighting for survival and we don't know if they will win Tanjiro and his companions or the sixth crescent moon. The episode begins with Tengen Uzui fighting Gyutaro, a demon capable of controlling his own blood and using it as a deadly weapon.

During the battle we experience a magnificent Flashback sequence which shows us the past of Tengen. As we have already established, the Pillar of Sound has lost all of its brothers in various missions except one who, however, chose to follow his father's selfish philosophy of life. In Demon Slayer 2x16 we see Tengen together with his three wives Pouring sake on his family's graves.

The Pillar of Sound's tragic past certainly shaped its character greatly selfless and committed to protecting others. Tengen has never forgotten his family, despite his distance from them, and from his memories it almost seems as if a demon is tormenting him blamed the deaths of his brothers.

We'll likely learn more about Uzui's past in the next few episodes, although we don't know if he'll have a future in Demon Slayer. With the final cliffhangertwo main characters find themselves in the balance between life and death: will they be able to survive?
