Zenitsu doesnt "need" to faint or sleep to use his power, he just has ZERO self confidence. He can do that just fine awake if he can put aside his fear and self-hate. Which is his character's main hurdle and source for character development. Tbh it's also a good handicap because if not for that, Zenitsu is easily the strongest of the three main characters. I personally really enjoy not just his power but his storyline.

Hey guys! Thank you for the reaction.
About the inner dialogue, I agree that it is a bit too much sometimes. They use it to add some explanations and stuff like that, but in this particular episode it was too long.
Zenitsu's part is also my favourite, it is so sick. The Thunder Breathing is probably one of the best in terms of visual effects and is super well animated. Also, just to clarify, his power "activates" when he is asleep, but it is just a mental think of the character. He is cowardly and has no confidence in himself. When he faints, those feelings kind of disappear, allowing him to actually fight the demon
So, now we have finally seen one of the Twelve Kizuki, although Kyogai is a former member, but still. And I think it is a good time to explain how the numbers work, because they won't really give a clear explanation, you just kind of get the point as it goes. But I think it is best if you actually know, so whenever you see a member, you understand the level of power. So, the Twelve Kizuki are divided in two groups: 6 upper demons + 6 lower demons. In each group, they also have a ranking, going from 1 (the strongest) to 6 (the weakest). So, upper 1 is the strongest one out of all 12 and lower 6 is the weakest. Kyogai was lower 6 (the weakest) but got replaced because he was too weak and couldn't evolve anymore.
Regarding the seasons, there are two out already and the third one will come out on March 2023.
