Episode 7 of the TV anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Hashira Training Arc" aired on the 23rd on the Fuji TV network. A scene where Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who leads the Demon Slayer Corps, faces their greatest enemy, Muzan Kibutsuji, aired after the ending, featuring three minutes of footsteps and music without any dialogue. This scene has become a hot topic online.

The scene in question continues with the ending song playing, as Muzan Kibutsuji appears at the Ubuyashiki estate, finally meeting Kagaya Ubuyashiki. The three minutes of Muzan's footsteps on gravel, with no dialogue, enhances the eerie atmosphere.

The surprising part is the eerie three-minute sequence (from the usual ending's conclusion) continues until Kagaya says, "Oh...you've come...nice to meet you," amplifying the fear of Muzan.

This episode was a special 40-minute extended version instead of the usual 30-minute slot, dedicating around 10 minutes to the confrontation between Kagaya and Muzan. The dramatic development of the story had viewers commenting online, saying things like, "Half of the 10-minute extension was Muzan-sama walking – the way he steadily approaches the Ubuyashiki estate gives off an intense final boss vibe," "Muzan-sama's entrance was too cool," "Today's Demon Slayer extended because of Muzan-sama's walk!" "Muzan Kibutsuji's slow walking scene – such a final boss vibe," "The ED playing while Muzan appeared was chilling," and "The footsteps echoing in the misty night added tension and fear."

The final episode, Episode 8, will be extended to a 60-minute broadcast.
