Especially when you come off of a moment like episode 19/20, and then again with the near execution of Nezuko.

You also can't maintain momentum in a series that legitimately recognizes that regular humans would need months to recover from injuries as severe as what the lead trio is receiving. The only one who can quick-heal is Nezuko.
There's a difference between having moments of levity and what Kimetsu does.
