The most popular emotional scene in Demon Slayer is the moment when Tanjirou loses his sister.
Demon Slayer is a very emotional anime from the very beginning.
Usually anime creators exaggerate their depiction of emotions. Overreaction has been characterized by everything from joy to grief. Just recently directors began to scrutinize the dramatic moments between characters more closely. Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 17 brought this aspect of the anime back to the viewers' attention. The dissatisfaction with the directing of Yuji's emotional breakdown scene raised many questions and generated a lot of discussions. One of these was a reflection on anime in which emotional moments are closer to reality. And it seems that Demon Slayer fans have an answer.

Each of these anime has the most popular emotional scene that stands out from the rest of the story. In Jujutsu Kaisen it's the above-mentioned Yuji scene, in Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) it's a moment from the last episode of Season 3. For a better understanding, let's delve into the background of events.
We probably don't need to go into much detail about Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 17, as the topic is very hot now and everyone has already heard something about it. Sukuna gained control of Yuji's body and destroyed most of Shibuya during his battle with Mahoraga. When he switched places with the main character, Yuji saw everything that happened in detail. He began to cry and beat himself to the ground, while the already fan-hated opening theme played in the background.
In the last episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc, Tanjirou fought with Upper Moon Four — Hantengu. He had to sacrifice his sister in order to protect people. After realizing the loss, he fell to the ground and started roaring. Fans noted the well-delivered panic attack, especially with Tanjirou's ragged breathing and inability to speak.
Why is Demon Slayer more emotional?
Demon Slayer is a very emotional anime from the beginning as the main character loses his family. A lot of time is spent on the relationship between Tanjirou and Nezuko. In fact, the character's entire motivation is built around his desire to save her. So it's not surprising that more attention is paid to the emotional component here. Jujutsu Kaisen, on the other hand, has other goals and focuses more on action. There are some sad and even tragic moments, but they are a supplement to the plot rather than its basis.
Directing is also worth mentioning. The creators of Demon Slayer more often use close-ups, which create the effect of proximity to the heroes. These shots are usually carefully animated. In Jujutsu Kaisen, it is more common to see general plans focusing viewers' attention on the destruction or other consequences of battles.
The best panic attack ever!
