Since this is the shortest arc in the manga, the anime includes scenes from the light novel to lengthen the story. Not only that, but the studio has greatly slowed the pacing. In the Demon Slayer manga, Muzan appears suddenly at Ubuyashiki’s doorstep. However, the anime features him walking for more than three minutes.
Despite being the final villain, Muzan is not the fandom’s favorite baddie, and they don’t often think of him as highly as the Upper Moons. Ufotable tries its best to make him look amazing, but it attracts a lot of negative attention, with only a small part of the fandom appreciating it.
One fanshares, “Ufotable really out here using Sapphire Shake presets in post-production.”
“Ufotable is trying to give Muzan aura points so he’d stop getting sidelined by the upper moons,” sharesanother.
Not only that, a number of animators are sharing the scene with all kinds of music. Here’s a popular edit:

“Now this one is a good edit and not the repetitive unfunny Bollywood jokes,” sharesone fan.
Anothercomplains, “The music made it better. I think the scene would be cooler if it wasn’t so long and dragged out. Ufotable stop with the Toei pacing.”
