There it is! Nezuko's trademark kick!

I loved how Urokodaki sent off Tanjirou but I was a bit skeptical when I heard about the hypnosis stuff. I'd be happier if Nezuko did all of that of her own.

I'm not sure why they added in the hypnosis angle. I guess they're trying to justify "why isn't Nezuko a crazy man-eater like all the other demons", but we already saw Nezuko resisting the urge to eat and fighting off demons back in episode 2. So if she's already capable of this, all the hypnosis thing does is remove agency from her character without any upside.

It's not too big a deal but I hope it leads somewhere better.

All the restraint we saw from previous episodes was more focused on his bro when he was covered in blood. I think the hypnosis is just an extra restraint for rare occasions where she is super weak and someone innocent covered with blood is right next to her. Which they more likely will encounter when they're out there hunting demons. Smart of Urokodaki to find out the source of her restraint is based on her love for her family
