The first episode of the second season of the demon slayer series ended with a weird scene that caused an uproar among demon slayer fans. Close to the end of the episode, the sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, kidnapped Aoi and planned to use her for his missions. Specifically, He intended to use her to infiltrate the sex workers of the Entertainment District.
While on his shoulders , in a very odd moment, Tengen Uzui spanked her on the butt. This scene has caused much controversy, with the majority condemning it. Fans with this mindset believe that the scene was unnecessary, and by today’s standards, that action would be considered child abuse.
However, some demon slayer fans think differently of the scene. Let’s take a look at what they think.
Aoi Was Practically An Adult In That Era
The demon slayer set was between 1912 – 1926 and not in 2021. During this time, a fifteen-year-old was already considered an adult. If we go back to the fight between Tanjiro and the three swamp demons, you should remember that the fiancée that was kidnapped was around thee age of 16.
The situation implies that at that time, it was perfectly normal for girls at that age to get married. So, while it might not seem right according to today’s standards, at that time, it was.
The Spank Was Disciplinary, Not Sensual
Also, aregarding the era of the demon slayer set, some fans believe that the spank was like that of a parent to their child. This act is considered to have been done to warn Tanjiro and his friends of the consequence of insubordination.
Since the sound Hashira is meant to be a sort of wild and rough character, it is not weird that he would do something as crude as spanking Aoi on the butt.
While this bizarre act of the Sound Hashira is not encouraged, these are the opinions that some fans of the demon slayer anime have. So, even if we had hoped for that scene to be cut out from the episode, the producer if the anime must have his reasons for including it.
Well, considering these new ideas that have been put forward what do you think. We’ll love to hear your opinion. So, leave us a comment.
Except a husband, I personally believe it is unethical for a man be it her father or brother to spank a woman’s butt for any reason. Not to talk of a stranger.
Yeah.. it’s totally uncalled for. Honestly, after watching that episode, I felt that scene could not have been cast.smh
