<\|startoftext\|> [Story ID: Demon Slayer Movie][Part: 5 of 28] leep, too, now! Please let me be reunited with my dead wife and daughter! I’m begging you. I’m begging you. Enmu Sure thing. [Action: Enmu’s hand falls from the ceiling.] Conductor Ah… Enmu You did a good job. Hehe… Go to sleep. Conductor Ah! [Action: Enmu casts his spell, and the conductor loses consciousness.] Enmu Have a nice dream where you can meet your family. Recruit 1 Um… What do you want us to do? Enmu Their slumber will grow deeper in a little while. Wait here until then. Perceptive Demon Slayers sometimes wake up sensing the presence of bloodthirsty demons. When you tie the ropes, be careful not to touch their bodies. I will have to stay in the first car for a while. Hang on until everything is ready to go… so that you can have blissful dreams. Recruits Okay. [Scene: In Tanjirou’s dream. Tanjirou, still in his Demon Slayer Corps uniform, trudges through the snow in the forest near his childhood home.] Tanjirou Ah! [Action: Tanjirou grabs the hilt of his sword.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) What’s going on? What happened?! [Action: Tanjirou draws his sword and looks around.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Calm down. Calm down! You have to calm down. Ngh… [Action: Tanjirou hears a footstep behind him.] Tanjirou Ah…! Shigeru Hm? Hey! Hanako It’s Big Bro! Shigeru Welcome home, Big Bro! Hanako Did you sell the charcoal? Tanjirou Ahh… [Action: Tanjirou drops his sword and runs to Hanako and Shigeru. He tackles them in a hug.] Hanako, Shigeru Ahh! [Action: Tanjirou begins to sob.] Hanako, Shigeru Ahh… Hanako Big Bro? [Action: Tanjirou raises his head and is now dressed in his normal civilian clothing. He hugs Hanako and Shigeru closer and sobs loudly.] Tanjirou Ngh… Ahh… Wahhh! Hanako, Shigeru Ah… Tanjirou I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Hanako, Shigeru Ahh… Tanjirou I’m so sorry! Wahhh! [Scene: In the real world. Enmu stands on the cab.] Enmu To be able to die while dreaming… Just how lucky are you? It doesn’t matter how powerful a Demon Slayer you are. A human’s driving force is the heart, the spirit. [Action: Enmu’s hand reattaches to his body.] Enmu All you have to do is destroy the spiritual core. You can kill them just like that! All human hearts are the same. So fragile and weak, like glasswork. [Scene: Inside the Mugen Train. Enmu’s recruits tie the ropes around their respective Demon Slayers’ wrists.] Recruit 2 Do we tie ourselves to them by the wrist? Recruit 1 That’s right. Don’t forget what he warned us about. Recruit 4 Take a deep, slow breath… while you count. (Thoughts) Do that, and you’ll fall asleep. (Thoughts) One… Two… Three… Four… Five… Six… [Scene: In Tanjirou’s dream. Tanjirou and his family have gathered back at his house.] Hanako And then, we were surprised because Big Bro suddenly burst into tears! Takeo What a weirdo! Hahahaha! Kie Oh my… You must be exhausted. Tanjirou It’s not such a big deal, okay? I’m fine. [Action: Kie cups Tanjirou’s face with her hands.] Tanjirou Ah… Kie You don't have a fever, do you? Take it easy and get some rest today, okay? Tanjirou I’m all right. Kie Are you sure? [Action: Shigeru grabs a sheet from Hanako.] Shigeru Ngh… Hehehehe! Hanako Ah… You come back here! [Action: Shigeru wraps Tanjirou in the sheet.] Shigeru Ngh! Gotcha! Tanjirou Ahh…! Hanako What do you think you’re doing? Shigeru Hahahaha! Tanjirou Hey! Ngh… Hanako Hey! You stop that right now! Tanjirou It seems like… I was having a bad dream or something. [Scene: In the real world. Enmu continues to ride on the cab of the train.] Enmu Falling deeper into sleep, deep in their dreams… Forget to breathe, deep in their dreams… And even if a demon comes, deep in their dreams… Even in the stomach, deep in their dreams… Looks like fun. You’re starting to have a happy dream, aren’t you? Fufufu… You are falling… You are falling… into a dream. It’s a deep slumber. They can… no longer awaken. [Scene: In Zenitsu’s dream. Zenitsu runs hand-in-hand with Nezuko through a peach orchard.] Zenitsu This way! The peaches over her <\|endoftext\|>

Zenitsu runs hand-in-hand with Nezuko through a peach orchard.] Zenitsu This way! The peaches over here taste great! And there are tons of white clovers in bloom! I’ll make you a chaplet! I can make these really great-looking ones… Nezuko! Nezuko Yes! Make a lot, okay… Zenitsu! Zenitsu Ahh… Yahoo! There’s a river along the way, but it’s shallow, so you’ll be okay, right? Nezuko A river? [Action: Nezuko stops in her tracks.] Nezuko What am I going to do, Zenitsu? I can’t swim. Zenitsu I-I’ll just carry you on my back and jump right over the river! Not even your toes will get wet, Nezuko! [Action: Zenitsu kneels down, and Nezuko gets on his back.] Zenitsu Ngh… [Action: Zenitsu rushes forward and over the rocks near the river.] Zenitsu Just leave it to me! Let’s go~! Nezuko Hehehehe! Zenitsu, Nezuko Hehehehehe! [Scene: In Inosuke’s dream. Inosuke marches through a cave with Nezuko, who is dressed in a bunny suit.] Inosuke Expedition Team! Expedition Team! We’re the Cave Expedition Team! Expedition Team! Expedition Team! We’re the Cave Expedition Team! Expedition Team! Expedition Team! [Action: Tanjirou, who looks like a raccoon dog, and Zenitsu, who looks like a mouse, appear.] Tanjirou Boss! Zenitsu Boss! Inosuke What’s up, Underling 1 and Underling 2? Tanjirou I can smell the master of this cave over there, pompoko! Zenitsu And I can hear it breathing as it sleeps, squeak! [Action: The Mugen Train, which looks like a train with centipede legs, sleeps nearby.] Inosuke Here he is! All right, let’s go! Showdown! Tanjirou, Zenitsu Roger that, Boss! [Action: Nezuko ponders on the sidelines.] Nezuko Mmm… Inosuke Hey, you! Come with me, Underling 3! Come over here! Look! Nezuko Mm? Inosuke I’ll give you these sparkly acorns! Come on! Let’s go!! Tanjirou, Zenitsu Hey~! Nezuko Mm! [Scene: In the real world. Tanjirou’s group and Rengoku continue to sleep.] Inosuke Haha… Ha… Zenitsu Fufu… Fufufu… Inosuke Fufu… Fu… Zenitsu Hehe… Hehehe… [Scene: In Rengoku’s dream. Rengoku wakes up in his father’s room in the Rengoku residence.] Rengoku (Thoughts) Hm? Why did I come here? [Action: Rengoku moves his hand and hits his sword.] Rengoku (Thoughts) Oh, right. To report to my father… that I’ve become a Hashira. [Action: Rengoku reports to Shinjurou that he has become a Hashira.] Shinjurou So what if you’ve become a Hashira? Worthless. It means nothing. You’re not going to amount to anything anyway. Neither you… nor I. [Action: Rengoku exits his father’s room and walks toward Senjurou’s room.] Senjurou Ah… Brother. Was our father pleased to hear your news? Do you think our father will acknowledge me if I become a Hashira, too? Rengoku (Thoughts) He wasn’t always like that. (Thoughts) After all, he did rise to the rank of Hashira in the Demon Slayer Corps. He was a passionate man, yet… one day, out of the blue, he quit being a swordsman. Suddenly. (Thoughts) The man who’d raised us both with such enthusiasm… Why? (Thoughts) It’s pointless to think about such things, so stop. (Thoughts) Senjurou is even worse off. (Thoughts) He barely has any mem <\|endoftext\|>

(Thoughts) The man who’d raised us both with such enthusiasm… Why? (Thoughts) It’s pointless to think about such things, so stop. (Thoughts) Senjurou is even worse off. (Thoughts) He barely has any memories of our mother, who died of illness when he was very young, and just look at the state our father is in. [Action: Rengoku steps toward Senjurou, holds his arms, and kneels in front of him.] Rengoku I’m going to be honest. Our father wasn’t happy to hear it. He told me that it meant nothing. But that’s not enough to extinguish my passion! This flame inside my heart will never go out! I’ll never give in! And Senjurou… [Action: Rengoku takes his brother’s hands in his.] Rengoku … you’re not like me. You have a big brother… who believes in his little brother. [Action: Senjurou begins to cry.] Rengoku No matter what path you take, you’re going to become a fine human being! Keep that burning passion inside your heart! Let’s do our best! [Action: Rengoku and Senjurou hug.] Rengoku Let’s do our best and live on! No matter how lonely it gets. [Scene: In the real world. Tanjirou’s group and Rengoku continue to sleep. Enmu rides on the cab.] Enmu Looking good. Those ropes that I created are used for a special technique that allows one to invade the dreams of whoever you’re tethered to. I always fight with the utmost caution. Once you’re asleep, Hashira or not, you’re no different from a baby. I’ll enjoy the feast after killing the Demon Slayers. [Scene: In Rengoku’s dream. Rengoku watches Senjurou swing his sword.] Rengoku There’s no need to swing in such a hurry. Relax your shoulders. [Action: One of Enmu’s recruits watches Rengoku and Senjurou practice from around the corner of the house.] Senjurou Like this? Rengoku That’s right. Recruit 1 Close call. He’s right there. [Action: Enmu’s recruit runs around in Rengoku’s dream.] Recruit 1 (Thoughts) I have to make sure he doesn’t see me! (Thoughts) I have to hurry to the edge of the dream! (Thoughts) Hurry! Enmu (Flashback) The dream world I show them isn’t infinite. (Flashback) It’s circular, with the dreamer in its center. (Flashback) The realm of the subconscious exists just outside the dream, where you’ll find the spiritual core. (Flashback) That’s what you must destroy. (Flashback) Do that, and the dreamer will become crippled. [Action: Enmu’s recruit feels around in the air for the edge of the dream. Her hand hits an invisible wall.] Recruit 1 Ah! There it is! The scenery doesn’t end here, but you can’t go any further. [Action: Enmu’s recruit pulls out an ice pick.] Recruit 1 (Thoughts) I’ll destroy his spiritual core right away… [Action: Enmu’s recruit stabs the ice pick into the edge of the dream.] Recruit 1 Ngh! (Thoughts) … and then, I’ll get to see a happy dream myself! Ugh… Ngh! [Action: Enmu’s recruit tears a hole in the dream, revealing Rengoku’s subconscious on fire. She steps inside.] Recruit 1 What an odd realm of the subconscious. It’s hot. It’s burning up. I have to hurry. [Action: The recruit finds Rengoku’s spiritual core.] Recruit 1 Ah! I found it! The spiritual core! I’ve never seen a red one before. All I have to do is destroy this and… it’ll be my turn t <\|endoftext\|>

Ngh! (Thoughts) What a strong survival instinct he has! [Scene: In Tanjirou’s dream. Kie prepares to make rice crackers while Tanjirou plays with Rokuta in the kitchen.] Kie I’m going to make your favorite rice crackers today, Tanjirou. Tanjirou Yay! Rokuta Ah… Kie I’ll start breaking old rice cakes first. Tanjirou It’s our lucky day, Rokuta! Rice crackers! [Action: Takeo opens the door to the kitchen.] Takeo No fair! Big Bro’s not the only one who likes rice crackers! Hanako I like them, too! Shigeru Me, too! Kie Then let’s eat them together, okay? Can you get the grill ready for me? Children Okay! Takeo I’ll crush them up in the grinding bowl! Hanako Okay, I’ll be in charge of flipping them over, then! Shigeru Me, too! [Action: One of Enmu’s recruits stands near a tree in the forest near Tanjirou’s house.] Tanjirou Okay, then I’ll be in charge of eating them! Children No fair! [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou goes out to cut firewood.] Tanjirou Ngh… Ngh… Ngh… [Action: Tanjirou puts his pack of firewood back on.] Tanjirou There… Nezuko, let’s go. [Action: Tanjirou looks back at the pack of firewood on his back.] Tanjirou Ah… What did I just say? [Action: Tanjirou returns home.] Tanjirou I’m back! Kie Welcome home, Tanjirou. Tanjirou Yeah, I’m home! [Action: Tanjirou steps into the room with his siblings.] Takeo Welcome home, Big Bro! Tanjirou Heh… Huh? Where’s Nezuko? Takeo Big Sis went up the mountain to pick vegetables. Tanjirou Huh? In broad daylight? Takeo Huh? Hanako She’s not supposed to? Tanjirou Ahh… Uh, well… Huh? Kie Tanjirou? Could you get the bath ready? I’m going to be busy with this for a while. [Action: Tanjirou goes to fetch water from the river.] Tanjirou I keep saying all these strange things. Am I tired maybe? [Action: Tanjirou sees Nezuko’s box in the corner of his vision.] Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Tanjirou turns to look at the box, but it’s gone.] Tanjirou Huh? It’s gone. [Action: Tanjirou continues on to get water.] Tanjirou I wonder what that was for just a split second. A toolbox, perhaps? I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me. [Action: Tanjirou dips the bucket into the river. His reflection yells at him.] Tanjirou “Wake up!” “Wake up!” [Action: Tanjirou falls into the river.] Tanjirou “Wake up. You’re under attack!” “It’s a dream! This is a dream! Wake up now!” (Thoughts) I see… That’s right, I’m… on board the train! “Wake up and fight! Fight! Fight!!” [Action: Tanjirou is blasted back out of the water.] [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou is back in his childhood home for dinner.] Takeo Big Bro, give me your pickled radishes!

[Action: Enmu’s fourth recruit stands up.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Is he the one who was connected to me? (Thoughts) Tuberculosis… He’s sick. Poor man. (Thoughts) What this demon did is unforgivable.

Nezuko runs up to Tanjirou and hugs him.] Tanjirou Ah… Nezuko Mmm… Recruit 4 (Thoughts) I was willing… to hurt others if it meant I could escape the pain of this illness. (Thoughts) But it was warm… inside your dream and inside your soul. [Scene: In the past, in Tanjirou’s dream.

Even though I was trying to destroy it, why would you… [Scene: In the real world, in the present.

Tanjirou (Thoughts) It was him! Enmu Why did you wake up? Didn’t I show you a sweet dream? I could’ve shown you a dream where your family was being slaughtered. Would you have liked that one better? No, of course not. Too distressing, right? Tanjirou Ah… Enmu All right, next… why don’t I show you a dream where your father comes back to life? [Action: Tanjirou grits his teeth and prepares to fight.] Tanjirou Grr… Enmu Fufufu… (Thoughts) What I really love… is to show people nightmares right after happy dreams. (Thoughts) I just adore the sight of a distorted human face. (Thoughts) I get such a kick out of that! How enthralling is it to gaze at someone shattered by misfortune, suffering, and flailing? (Thoughts) But I don’t let my guard down, so it may take longer, but I’ll make sure to kill Demon Slayers. (Thoughts) I mixed my blood with the ink on the tickets. Once the conductor punches them, creating clamp marks… the spell activates. (Thoughts) And yet… how did this one manage to wake up? And he found the way to wake up in a short time. (Thoughts) Even though the human desire for blissful dreams, for self-serving dreams… … is so enormous! Tanjirou Don’t you dare intrude on my soul! [Action: Tanjirou draws his sword.] Tanjirou I won’t let you… get away with this! Enmu (Thoughts) What’s that? I see he’s wearing earrings. Heh… How lucky is that? So he came right to me! This is like a dream! Now I can receive even more blood from Master Muzan! And once I become more powerful, I’ll challenge an Upper Rank demon to a duel to replace him!

Enmu’s body falls.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) That was way too easy. (Thoughts) Could this be a dream, too? Or was this demon weaker than him? Enmu I can totally see why… he ordered me to kill you, the boy with the earrings… along with the Hashira! [Action: A puddle of flesh appears under Enmu’s head. His head rises into the air at the end of the mass.] Enmu Your very existence, like… couldn’t be more irritating, you know! Tanjirou (Thoughts) He’s not dead?! Enmu Oh, that look on your face is so delightful! That’s the look I’ve been waiting to see! Fufufu… You want to know why I’m not dead after you decapitated me, don’t you? Fine, since I’m feeling so ecstatic right now. It’s so easy that even an infant would understand. Fufufu… It’s because the body over there is no longer my main body. Same with this thing that’s talking to you now. It merely looks like my head, but it’s not. While you were snoozing away, I fused with this train! Every inch of this train has become my blood, my flesh, and my bones! Fufufu! Look at your face! Are you getting it now? In other words, the more than 200 passengers on this train are the food that will strengthen my body even more… as well as my hostages. So, do you think you can protect them by yourself? All these people packing this train from one end to another… Can you alone keep me <\|endoftext\|>

[Action: Tanjirou runs forward to attack Enmu’s head, but his head retreats into the train.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) What should I do? What should I do?! (Thoughts) The most I can protect on my own is two cars! Any more than that, and I can’t guarantee their safety! Rengoku! Zenitsu! Inosuke! This is no time to be sleeping! Wake up, will you?! Please!

[Action: Enmu’s flesh begins to encroach on the passengers. Inosuke reenters the train car.] Inosuke Beast Breathing, Fifth Fang! Crazy Cutting! [Action: Inosuke cuts through Enmu’s flesh.] Inosuke I’ll save every last one of you guys! Fall onto your knees and worship me! Glorify me! Lord Inosuke Hashibira is comin’ through!

[Action: Rengoku unleashes an attack and causes an explosion through several train cars.] Enmu Wh-What happened? [Action: An explosion occurs, causing the train to jump. Tanjirou is tossed into the air and thrown into a door.] Tanjirou Ah… Gah! (Thoughts) What was that?! A demon attack?! [Action: Rengoku appears before Tanjirou.] Rengoku Young Kamado! Tanjirou Rengoku! Rengoku I was pretty thorough with my slashing attacks on my way here, so it should take the demon a while to regenerate, but there’s no time to lose! I’ll keep it short. Tanjirou Okay! Rengoku This train has eight cars in all. I’ll protect the five in the rear. The yellow boy and your sister will be in charge of the rest.

[Action: Tanjirou arrives at the entrance to the cab.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) The scent got swept away because the wind is so strong, making it hard to detect, but if Inosuke says so, there’s no doubt about it!

Tanjirou I’m okay… [Action: Tanjirou begins dragging the conductor away.] Inosuke Just forget about that bastard! Tanjirou I can’t do that! I won’t let him die! [Action: Inosuke cuts into the flesh arms covering the neck bone.] Inosuke Ngh! If we don’t chop this demon’s head off soon, we won’t be able to make it! Tanjirou I know… Let’s get moving!

Inosuke All right, now all we gotta do is slash this thing to death! [Action: The train conductor jumps into the cab and runs toward Inosuke with his ice pick.] Conductor Ngh… Grr…! Tanjirou Ah… Inosuke!! Conductor Don’t you dare get in the way of my dream! [Action: Tanjirou jumps in front of Inosuke and gets stabbed by the train conductor.] Tanjirou Urgh… Ngh… Inosuke Ah! [Action: Tanjirou knocks the conductor out with one hit.] Conductor Gah… Inosuke Did you get stabbed?!

[Action: More flesh tentacles appear around the cab. Arms appear from the tentacles and aim for Tanjirou and Inosuke. They dodge them and begin their attack.] Inosuke Woah! Tanjirou Ngh… Inosuke Ngh… Hah! Urahh! Tanjirou Ngh! Inosuke Urah! Tanjirou, Inosuke Hah! Tanjirou Inosuke! Synchronize your breathing with mine! Let’s chop off this demon’s head! Let’s attack together! Inosuke Ngh… [Action: Tanjirou and Inosuke continue their defence.] Tanjirou Ngh! Inosuke Ngh! Urahh! [Action: Tanjirou and Inosuke jump to the roof of the cab. A flesh tentacle aims for them and smashes against the cab, launching Tanjirou and Inosuke into the air. More flesh tentacles aim for them, and they cut along them toward the spine.] Inosuke Ngh! Tanjirou Ngh… Urahhh! Ngh! Inosuke Urahh! [Action: A bunch of eyes appear before Tanjirou.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Not good! If I fall asleep now…! [Action: Inosuke cuts through the eyes on his way down.] Inosuke Damn you! Come on! Follow me! Beast Breathing, Fourth Fang! [Action: Inosuke cuts through the flesh arms protecting the spine.] Inosuke Slice ‘n’ Dice! [Action: The spine is exposed. Tanjirou prepares his attack.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Father, please protect me! (Thoughts) I’m going to sever that bone… with this blow! (Thoughts) Hinokami Kagura! Clear Blue Sky! [Action: Tanjirou unleashes his attack, severing Enmu’s head and causing an explosion in the train.] Enmu Eek… Ahhhh!! [Action: Enmu’s flesh arms grab the necks of the passengers, but Rengoku cuts them away.] Rengoku Ngh! Nezuko Mm… [Action: The Mugen Train derails and skids along the tracks.] Tanjirou Because of its screams and tremors, the train is turning over! Are you okay, Inosuke? Ngh… Inosuke Ah! Hey, is your belly okay?! Tanjirou Y-Yeah… Inosuke, protect the passengers… Ah! [Action: The train jumps, and Tanjirou is thrown from the train. He reaches out toward the conductor.] Tanjirou (Thoughts)I can’t die. If I die, that’ll make him a murderer! I can’t die! (Thoughts) I don’t want to let anyone die! [Action: The train skids further down the tracks. Tanjirou lands and rolls down the embankment.] Tanjirou Urgh… Ahh… [Action: The train stops. Inosuke falls from the sky and lands on the wreckage of the train.] Inosuke Ahhh! Woah… Oh! Woah! Ngh… A-Are you okay, Santarou?! [Action: Inosuke runs to Tanjirou and crouches near him.] Inosuke Hang in there! I was lucky I could bounce off the demon’s flesh! Cool, huh?! [Action: Inosuke helps Tanjirou sit up and begins shaking him around.] Inosuke Is your belly okay? Your belly that got stabbed! Tanjirou I’m… all right. What about you? Inosuke Never felt better! I didn’t even catch a cold! Tanjirou I won’t be able to move for a while. Help the others, will you? Was anyone injured? What about the engineer near the head? Inosuke It’s okay if that bastard dies! Tanjirou It’s not okay. Inosuke Ngh… He’s the one who stabbed you in the belly, remember?! He’s got his leg stuck and can’t move! His leg is shattered, and he can’t walk anymore!

Inosuke Ngh… Tanjirou Please… Inosuke Grr… [Action: Inosuke lays Tanjirou back down.] Inosuke Hmph! I’ll go for you, then! Because I’m the boss! Because my minion asked me to! After I rescue him, I’m going to pluck out all of that guy’s hair! Hmph! Tanjirou That’s really not necessary… [Action: Inosuke stomps away. A faint light appears in the sky.] Tanjirou Phew… (Thoughts) It’s almost dawn. (Thoughts) Get your breathing under control. We have to… save the injured… before it’s too late. (Thoughts) Nezuko… Zenitsu… Rengoku… I’m sure they’re all safe! You have to believe! [Action: Inosuke tries to get his breathing under control. Remnants of Enmu’s demon body emerge from the Mugen Train.] Enmu (Thoughts) My body is disintegrating… I can’t regenerate. (Thoughts) Did I lose? Am I going to die? Me? (Thoughts) Ridiculous… Ridiculous! I haven’t been able to go all out! (Thoughts) I couldn’t devour a single human. My plan to fuse with the train and devour humans en masse just went up in smoke! (Thoughts) And now look at what I’ve been reduced to! After all the time and trouble I’ve taken! (Thoughts) It was him! It’s all his fault! (Thoughts) Even though I’d taken 200 humans hostage, I still struggled! I was held at bay! Is this the power of a Hashira? (Thoughts) And him… He was fast, too. Even though he never broke the spell completely! (Thoughts) Not to mention that girl! She’s a demon! What’s that about? A demon, joining forces with Demon Slayers? Why hasn’t Master Muzan killed that traitor?! (Thoughts) Dammit… Dammit! In the first place, it all started going downhill once that brat broke my spell! That brat is to blame! [Action: Enmu reaches out toward Tanjirou but is too far away.] Enmu (Thoughts) I wish I could at least kill that brat! Somehow! (Thoughts) That’s right, and that boar, too! I could’ve at least killed that brat! (Thoughts) But that boar thwarted me. His intuition is extraordinary. He could sense my gaze! [Action: Enmu’s arm rapidly disintegrates.] Enmu (Thoughts) Am I going to lose? Am I going to die? Oh, what a nightmare… What a nightmare… (Thoughts) It’s always the bottom-feeder demons who get killed by the Demon Slayers. In the Upper Ranks, the same demons have remained for the last few centuries. They’re strong enough to defeat Hashira who’ve killed an untold number of demons. (Thoughts) Do they have otherworldly powers? Even after receiving so much of his blood, I couldn’t reach the Upper Ranks… (Thoughts) Ahh… I want to do it over! I want to do it over! (Thoughts) What a miserable nightmare this is… [Action: Enmu’s body disintegrates. Tanjirou continues to breathe heavily. Rengoku appears before him.] Rengoku I see you’ve mastered Total Concentration, Constant! Impressive! Tanjirou Rengoku… Rengoku After all, Constant is the first step toward becoming a Hashira. Although, there might be 10,000 steps before you can become a Hashira. <\|endoftext\|>

Although, there might be 10,000 steps before you can become a Hashira. Tanjirou I’ll do my best… Rengoku You’re bleeding from the abdomen. You have to concentrate and improve the precision of your breathing. Make your nerves reach every corner of your body. There’s a blood vessel. A torn blood vessel. [Action: Tanjirou continues to breathe heavily.] Rengoku Concentrate harder. [Action: Tanjirou closes his eyes. In his concentration, he finds the torn blood vessel.] Tanjirou Ah! Rengoku That’s it. Stanch it. Stop the bleeding. Tanjirou Guh… Ngh… [Action: Tanjirou’s blood continues to flow. Rengoku pokes his forehead.] Tanjirou Ah… Rengoku Focus. Tanjirou Ngh… [Action: Tanjirou focuses again. The bleeding stops, and Rengoku stops poking Tanjirou’s forehead.] Tanjirou Ahh… Gah… Haa… Rengoku Great! Looks like you stopped it. You’ll be able to do all kinds of things when you master breathing. Not that you’ll be able to do everything, but you’ll become a stronger version of yourself than yesterday for sure. Tanjirou Right. Rengoku Heh… Everyone is safe! There are hordes of injured people, but no one’s life is in danger. Don’t strain yourself. Take it easy and rest up. Tanjirou Thank you very much. Rengoku Yeah. [Action: Akaza arrives at the wreckage of the Mugen Train. His presence is heavy.] Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Rengoku turns to Akaza, ready to draw his sword. Tanjirou struggles to see Akaza but sees that he is Upper Rank 3.] Tanjirou Ahh… Ah! (Thoughts) Upper… Three? What’s he doing here right now? [Action: Akaza launches forward and prepares to punch Tanjirou in the head.] Rengoku (Thoughts) Flame Breathing, Second Form! [Action: Rengoku slices through Akaza’s arm.] Rengoku (Thoughts) Rising Scorching Sun! [Action: Akaza jumps back and fuses his arm back together instantly.] Akaza That’s a fine sword. Rengoku (Thoughts) He sure can regenerate fast. This heavy and overwhelming demon aura… So, this is an Upper Rank. I can’t understand why you’d go after a wounded person first. [Action: Tanjirou struggles to turn over.] Tanjirou Ngh… Urgh… Akaza He could get in the way of the chitchat between you and me. Rengoku What would you and I have to talk about? I’m meeting you now for the first time, but I already dislike you. Akaza Is that right? Well, I loathe weak humans, too. The sight of a weakling makes my skin crawl. Rengoku Then it looks like our senses of value are completely different. Akaza All right, then I have a brilliant proposal for you. Why don’t you become a demon, too? Rengoku I will not. Akaza I can tell your strength at a glance. You’re a Hashira, aren’t you? Your fighting spirit has been honed to the hilt. It’s close to the realm of the highest. Rengoku I’m the Flame Hashira, Kyoujurou Rengoku. Akaza I’m Akaza. Kyoujurou… Let me tell you why you can’t enter the realm of the highest. It’s because you’re a human. Because you’re going to grow old. Because you’re going to die. Become a demon, Kyoujurou. Do that, and you can go on training for a hundred, for two hundred years. You can become stronge <\|endoftext\|>

Tanjirou (Thoughts) Of all the demons that I’ve met until now, he has the strongest scent of Kibutsuji! I have to help him fight! Rengoku Both growing old and dying are part of the beauty of being an ephemeral creature like a human. The fact that we grow old and die is what makes human life so unbearably precious and noble. “Strength” isn’t a word used to describe just the body. This boy isn’t weak! Tanjirou Ah… Rengoku Don’t insult him. I’ll repeat it as many times as it takes. You and I have different senses of value. No matter what the reason, I will not become a demon! Akaza I see… [Action: Akaza plants his fingers into the ground. A snowflake pattern appears below him.] Akaza Technique Development… Destructive Death, Compass Needle! If you refuse to become a demon, I’ll just kill you. Rengoku Ngh… [Action: Akaza runs toward Rengoku. The two become locked in battle.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I can’t follow their movements! Akaza There were never any Flames among all the Hashira I’ve killed until now! And no one ever took me up on my offer, either. Rengoku Urgh… Ngh! Urahh! [Action: Rengoku blocks an attack from Akaza, his sword cutting into his wrist.] Akaza Why do you think that is? As a fellow martial artist, I just don’t get it. Not when only the chosen ones can become demons! [Action: Akaza moves to punch Rengoku, but Rengoku slices through his arm.] Rengoku Ngh! [Action: Akaza’s arm regrows and punches at Rengoku. He blocks the attack.] Akaza Watching the hideous decline of someone blessed with extraordinary powers… It pains me! I can’t bear it! Rengoku Ngh… Akaza Die, Kyoujurou… while you’re still young and strong. Rengoku Ngh! [Action: Rengoku slashes at Akaza, but he dodges and distances himself.] Akaza Destructive Death… Air Type! [Action: Akaza punches the air. Rengoku watches his surroundings, and Akaza’s attack hits his sword, knocking him back slightly.] Rengoku Ngh… Akaza Urgh! Rengoku Ngh… (Thoughts) I see. Akaza Urahhh! Rengoku Flame Breathing… Fourth Form. Blooming Flame Undulation! [Action: Rengoku unleashes his attack, blocking Akaza’s attacks.] Rengoku (Thoughts) When he strikes the air with his fist, the attack will reach me here! Akaza Urah! Rengoku Urahh! (Thoughts) He can move faster than the blink of an eye. (Thoughts) If I allow him to fight from a distance like this, slicing off his head will be tricky. In that case… [Action: Rengoku changes his stance and rushes toward Akaza in an instant.] Rengoku (Thoughts) … I’ll just have to get up close! Urahh! [Action: Rengoku slices at Akaza, but he dodges the attack.] Akaza This superb reaction speed of yours… Rengoku Urahh! Akaza … and these breathtaking sword skills will be lost, too, Kyoujurou!

Rengoku Ngh… Akaza Fight me forever and get stronger together with me. You have what it takes to do that! [Action: Akaza regenerates his arm.] Rengoku I’ll pass! Let me repeat it. I don’t like you. I will not become a demon! [Action: Rengoku and Akaza become locked in battle again. Rengoku attacks first.] Rengoku Flame Breathing… Third Form! Blazing Universe!

Rengoku Ngh… [Action: Akaza releases his attack, but Rengoku blocks it with his sword and is knocked back. He launches forward at Akaza again.] Rengoku Guh… Urahh! Urahh! Inosuke (Thoughts) There’s no opening. I can’t jump in. I can’t keep up with the speed of their movements! Those two are in a different dimension! (Thoughts) Getting between them would only mean death! I can feel it in my bones! (Thoughts) I can’t move because I know that even if I jumped in to back him up, I’d only be a hindrance to him!

Inosuke Ah… Akaza Let’s fight more. Don’t die on me, Kyoujurou. Tanjirou (Thoughts) Rengoku… Rengoku… Rengoku! Akaza Even if you fight to death, you can’t win, Kyoujurou. Those impressive slashes you inflicted on me have already healed completely. But what about you? A smashed left eye, shattered ribs, and damaged internal organs… They’re all irreparable. If you were a demon, you’d heal in a blink of an eye. Those would be mere scratches for a demon. You can struggle all you want, but a human can never beat a demon. Tanjirou Ngh… Guh… (Thoughts) I want to go help him… Ngh… (Thoughts) … but there’s no strength in my arms or legs! (Thoughts) It’s partly because of my injury, but this always happens after I use the Hinokami Kagura technique!

Do you know why you were born stronger than others? Y.Rengoku Uh… Ah… I don’t know! Ruka It’s so that you can save weaker people. Those who were born blessed with more gifts than others are obligated to use those gifts for the world and other people. You must never use that god-given strength to hurt others or for personal gain. It is the duty of those born strong to help the weak. It is a mission they must fulfill responsibly. Make sure you never forget that. Y.Rengoku I won’t! [Action: Ruka holds her hand out toward Rengoku.] Y.Rengoku Ah… [Action: Rengoku shuffles toward Ruka, and she pulls him into a hug.] Ruka I don’t have much more time to live. I was blessed to be the mother of such a strong and gentle child. I will entrust everything to you. [Scene: Near the wreckage of the Mugen Train. Rengoku clenches his sword, raises it, and cuts into Akaza’s neck.] Rengoku Ngh… Urahhh! Akaza Guh… Rengoku Urahhh!

[Action: Akaza aims a punch at Rengoku’s head, but Rengoku grabs his wrist to stop him.] Rengoku Guh! Akaza (Thoughts) He stopped it! (Thoughts) What unbelievable strength! I’ve pierced through his solar plexus with my right arm! [Action: Akaza looks toward the sky.] Akaza Ahh… (Thoughts) Damn it! It’ll be daybreak soon! (Thoughts) I have to kill him and get out of here! [Action: Akaza tries to pull his arm out of Rengoku’s body but can’t.] Akaza (Thoughts) I-I can’t… pull my arm out! Rengoku (Thoughts) I won’t let you escape! Akaza Ngh… Grr… Rengoku Urahhh! [Action: Tanjirou runs for his sword somewhere in the wreckage.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) No matter what Rengoku says… I have to… do it right now! [Action: Tanjirou finds his sword and runs back toward Rengoku and Akaza.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I have to slice off the demon’s head! Quickly! Akaza (Thoughts) The sun is coming up! There’ll be sunlight here! (Thoughts) I have to get away! I have to get away! Guh… Ngh… Urahhhh!! Tanjirou Erk! Rengoku (Thoughts) No way am I letting go! Not until I chop off your head!

Doesn’t he have a brain in his head?! (Thoughts) I’m not running away from you! I’m running away from the sun! (Thoughts) And besides, the battle has already been decided! He’ll run out of strength and die soon! [Action: Akaza disappears into the forest.] Tanjirou The Demon Slayer Corps is always fighting you demons in the dark of the night where you have the advantage! That’s right, us flesh-and-blood humans! Our wounds don’t close up that easily, and we can’t regenerate a limb once it’s lost! Don’t run away, you bastard! You bastard! You coward! Rengoku is way more amazing than you! He’s stronger! Rengoku didn’t lose! He didn’t let anybody die! He fought to the end! He protected them to the end! You’re the one who lost! It’s Rengoku who won!! [Action: Tanjirou weeps loudly.] Tanjirou Ngh… Ahhh!! Ahhhh!! Rengoku Heh… Stop yelling already. Tanjirou Ah… Rengoku You’ll reopen that stomach wound. You’re badly injured, too, remember? If you die, young Kamado, it’ll mean I’m the loser. Tanjirou Rengoku… Rengoku Come over here. Let’s talk a bit one last time. [Action: Tanjirou gets up and sits across from Rengoku. Rengoku’s crow flies overhead and rests on the wreckage of the Mugen Train.] Rengoku There’s something that I remembered… while I was dreaming. You should go to my parents’ home, the Rengoku residence. There should be some notes left by the preceding Flame Hashira. My father read them often, but since I never did, I don’t know what’s in them. There might be some kind of record of that Hinokami Kagura you mentioned. [Action: Akaza’s arm disintegrates, leaving a large hole in Rengoku’s stomach.] Tanjirou R-Rengoku, please don’t talk any more. Please stop the bleeding with a breathing technique! Isn’t there a way to close up your wounds? Rengoku No. I’ll be dead soon. Tanjirou Ah… Rengoku I’m going to tell you all I can while I can still talk, so listen, will you? Tell my little brother Senjurou… to follow his heart and to walk down the path that he feels is right. Tell my father… that I want him to take care of himself. One more thing, young Kamado. Tanjirou Ah… Rengoku I believe in your little sister. I accept her as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. I saw her bleeding as she protected the humans inside the train. Anyone who risks their lives fighting demons to protect humans is a rightful member of the Demon Slayer Corps, no matter what anyone else says. Go ahead and live with your head held high! Tanjirou Ah… Ahh… Rengoku No matter how devastated you may be by your own weakness or uselessness… set your heart ablaze. Grit your teeth and look straight ahead. Even if you stop and crouch down, time won’t wait for you. It won’t snuggle and grieve along with you, either. Don't feel <\|endoftext\|>

As a Hashira, of course I would shield my juniors. Any other Hashira would’ve done the same thing. We never let the young buds get nipped. Young Kamado… Boar head boy… Yellow boy… Keep learning and grow. And then, become the next Hashira supporting the Demon Slayer Corps. I believe in you. I believe in all of you. [Action: Tanjirou covers his eyes and weeps. As Rengoku’s vision fades, he sees a vision of his mother in the distance.] Rengoku Ah… (Thoughts) Mother… Do you think I did it right? (Thoughts) Did I carry out what I had to do and my duties? [Action: Ruka smiles at Rengoku.] Ruka (Thoughts) You made me proud. Rengoku Haha… [Action: Rengoku smiles at Ruka before passing away.] [Scene: Sometime later. Zenitsu regroups with Tanjirou and Inosuke while carrying Nezuko’s box.] Zenitsu When the train went off the rails, Rengoku had unleashed all these techniques. He must’ve kept the damage to the cars to a minimum. Tanjirou I guess he did… Zenitsu I can’t believe he’s gone. I mean, did an Upper Rank demon really show up? Tanjirou Yeah… Zenitsu Why would an Upper Rank come here? Was it that strong? I mean… Tanjirou Yeah… [Action: Tanjirou clenches his fists and weeps.] Tanjirou I’m so frustrated… As soon as I master one thing… I find another thick wall right in front of me… While more powerful people are fighting far beyond it, I just can’t make it there yet! If I’m still stumbling around in a place like this, can I… can I… ever become like Rengoku? [Action: Tanjirou sobs. Zenitsu cries into his sleeve. Inosuke trembles and clenches his swords.] Inosuke Stop whining already! Tanjirou Ah…! Zenitsu Ah… Inosuke Stop asking dumbass things like whether you can be like him! He said he believes in you, so just think about how you’re going to measure up to that! All living things just go back to the earth when they die! Sobbing or sniveling won’t bring them back! [Action: Tears leak out from Inosuke’s boar mask.] Inosuke Don’t cry even if you have regrets! No matter how pathetic or humiliated you feel, you still have to go on living! Zenitsu But you’re crying, too… There are tears flooding out from that headpiece. [Action: Inosuke headbutts Zenitsu.] Zenitsu Erk! Inosuke I’m not crying!

Nezuko is bleeding from a wound on her head.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) How…? (Thoughts) How did this happen? Nezuko, don’t die! Don’t die on me! I’m gonna save you no matter what! I won’t let you die! I swear your big brother will save you no matter what! [Scene: At a small cabin in the mountains, during the morning. Tanjirou takes up a basket of charcoal on his back and is preparing to leave the house.] Kie Tanjirou? Your face is covered in soot. Come over here. [Action: Kie comes out of the house and wipes Tanjirou’s face with a towel.] Kie It’s dangerous with all this snow. You don’t have to go, you know. Tanjirou Well, I want everyone to eat their fill on New Year’s, so I’m gonna sell as much charcoal as I can. Kie Thank you. Shigeru Big Bro! Tanjirou Hmm? [Action: Tanjirou’s younger brother and sister, Shigeru and Hanako, come running to Tanjirou. Another brother, Takeo comes out from behind them.] Shigeru You’re going to town again today? Hanako I’m going with you! Kie Oh no, you’re not. You know you can’t walk fast like Tanjirou. Shigeru Mom! Kie You may not. Since he can’t use the cart today, he won’t be able to give you a ride when you’re tired. Shigeru Big Bro! [Action: Shigeru runs to Tanjirou and clings onto him.] Hanako I wanna go with you! I promise I’ll help you! [Action: Tanjirou pats Hanako’s head.] Tanjirou Thanks, Hanako. But you’re staying home today. Hanako What~? Tanjirou You too, Shigeru. But I’ll get you tons of goodies, okay? Shigeru Really? Tanjirou Yeah. And Hanako, I’ll read for you when I’m back. Hanako Yeah! Tanjirou That’s a good girl. Kie Thank you so much, Tanjirou. Tanjirou Sure. Okay, I’ll be heading out now. Takeo, will you chop as much wood as you can? Takeo Sure, I’ll do it, but… I was hoping we could do it together. [Action: Tanjirou walks over to Takeo and pats his head.] Tanjirou There, there. [Action: Takeo jumps away from Tanjirou’s hand.] Takeo What’s with that all of a sudden? Shigeru You’re blushing, Take! Takeo Hey, you shut up! Tanjirou There, there. [Action: Tanjirou continues patting Takeo’s head, and Takeo jumps away again.] Takeo I said cut it out! [Action: All of the family laughs, and Tanjirou sets out for town with his three siblings and Kie watching him.] Shigeru Hurry back, okay? Hanako Be safe, okay? [Action: As Tanjirou walks off, Nezuko appears, carrying their youngest brother, Rokuta, on her back.] Nezuko Big Brother! Tanjirou Hey, Nezuko. Nezuko I was putting Rokuta down for a nap, or he’d make a scene when you leave. He misses Dad a lot since he passed away. [Action: Tanjirou pats Rokuta’s head lightly.] Nezuko And everyone follows you wherever you go. See you later. [Action: Tanjirou continues making his way toward town.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) We don’t have an easy life, but we’re happy. (Thoughts) But life could change suddenly like the weather. It shifts and moves on. (Thoughts) It’s not like it always stays sunny, and it’s not like it ever snows endlessly. (Thoughts) And… whenever happiness is destroyed, there’s always… the smell of blood. [Scene: In town during the morning. Tanjirou has made it down the mountain. He speaks to townsfolk down the street.] Woman 1 Well now, Tanjirou! I can’t believe you came down from the mountain on a day like this. You’re such a hard worker! You might catch a cold, you know? Tanjirou This is nothing, really. Do you have enough charcoal? Man 1 Hey, Tanjirou! Tanjirou Hmm? Man 1 Can I have some charcoal? Man 2 Thanks for fixing my sliding doors the other day. Woman 2 I’ll need some charcoal, too!

[Action: Tanjirou leans down toward the bundle holding the shattered dish and sniffs it.] Tanjirou I smell a cat. Boy You see?! Woman 3 Oh my, so it was a cat? Boy I told you it wasn’t me! Man 3 Tanjirou! Can you give me a hand with this luggage? [Scene: At night. Tanjirou is making his way back up the mountain.] Tanjirou Jeez, it’s late already. I’m glad they’re sold out, though. Saburou Hey, Tanjirou! Tanjirou Hmm? [Action: Tanjirou turns around toward Saburou in his house at the base of the mountain.] Saburou Are you gonna go back to the mountain? You’d better not. It’s too dangerous. Tanjirou I’ve got a great sense of smell, so I’ll be fine. Saburou I’ll put you up for the night. Come on. Get back here. Tanjirou But… Saburou Don’t argue! Come on! Before the demons show up. [Scene: In Saburou’s house. Tanjirou is given a meal and finishes it.] Tanjirou Thanks for the meal! Hey, Old Man Saburo, what are demons like? Saburou Man-eating demons have always prowled the land once it gets dark. That’s why you should never stroll around at night. If you’re done eating, go to bed. You can set off for home at first light. [Action: Tanjirou lays down for bed.] Tanjirou These demons wouldn’t come inside your house, would they? Saburou Yes, they’d come in. Tanjirou Then, everyone would get eaten up by the demons. Saburou That’s why the demon hunters protect us by slaying them since way back when. Lights out now. Go to sleep. [Action: Saburou turns out to lights.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Old Man Saburo is all alone after losing his whole family, so he must be lonely. (Thoughts) I’ll bring my brothers and sisters next time and say, “You don’t have to be scared. There are no demons. You’re safe.” (Thoughts) But, come to think of it, my grandma used to say the same thing when she was alive. [Scene: The next morning. Tanjirou is leaving for the mountain.] Saburou You be careful now. Tanjirou Okay! (Thoughts) Whenever happiness is destroyed, there’s always… [Action: On his way home, Tanjirou sniffs the air.] Tanjirou The smell of blood! [Action: Tanjirou races up the mountain and arrives at his house. He stops in his tracks. On the ground in front of the door are Nezuko and Rokuta, surrounded by a pool of blood.] Tanjirou Ahhh!!! Nezuko! [Action: Tanjirou runs to Nezuko and kneels down beside her.] Tanjirou What happened? What’s going on?! What happened here?! [Action: Tanjurou turns to look into the house. He gets up and walks only a few steps inside.] Tanjirou Mom… [Action: Tanjirou falls to the ground. Kie and all his siblings are dead, and the walls and floor of the house are covered with blood.] Tanjirou Mom… Hanako… Takeo… Shigeru… Nezuko… Rokuta…!

[Action: Before Nezuko can bite him, Tanjirou takes the axe from his belt and puts the handle between Nezuko’s teeth. They struggle, but Nezuko pushes Tanjirou down into the snow. Tanjirou continues to push Nezuko away with the axe handle.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Sh-She’s… a demon! (Thoughts) I just remembered what Old Man Saburou told me. (Thoughts) Nezuko’s a man-eating demon? (Thoughts) No! Nezuko’s been a human ever since she was born! (Thoughts) However, she no longer has Nezuko’s scent. (Thoughts) But it wasn’t Nezuko’s doing! (Thoughts) She was lying as if she was protecting Rokuta, and there was no blood on her mouth or hands. (Thoughts) And there was one more… There was one more scent! [Action: Nezuko’s body trembles.] Tanjirou Sh-She just grew in size! (Thoughts) And she’s getting stronger and stronger!

(Thoughts) I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you. (Thoughts) If only I could help Nezuko at least… (Thoughts) But she’s too strong for me to push her back! Nezuko! Hang in there, Nezuko! Don’t give in! You gotta hang in there! [Action: Someone is running toward Tanjirou and Nezuko.] Tanjirou Don’t turn into a demon! You gotta stay strong! Hang in there! Hang in there! [Action: Tears fall from Nezuko and drop onto Tanjirou’s face. Tomioka reaches Tanjirou and Nezuko. He jumps into the air to attack Nezuko, but Nezuko realizes his presence.

[Action: Tomioka launches himself at Tanjirou and Nezuko, ready to strike. Tanjirou moves to protect Nezuko, but realizes that she is no longer under him. When he looks up, Tomioka is holding her in the distance by the scruff of her clothes.] Tanjirou Nezuko! Tomioka Don’t move. Tanjirou Ah... Tomioka My job is to slay demons. Needless to say, I’m going to decapitate your sister. Tanjirou Hold on! Nezuko hasn’t killed anyone! Back at my house, there was another scent that I’d never smelled before! That’s probably the one who killed my family! It wasn’t Nezuko! I don’t know why she turned into something like that, but… but still…! Tomioka It’s quite simple. Because her wounds were exposed to demon blood, she turned into a demon. That’s how man-eating demons multiply. Tanjirou Nezuko would never eat humans! Tomioka You gotta be kidding. Just now, you were about to be devoured. Tanjirou You’re wrong! I’m sure she knows who I am! I won’t let her hurt anyone! I’m going to turn Nezuko back into a human! I swear I’ll heal her! Tomioka She can’t be healed. Once you become a demon, you can never go back to being human. Tanjirou I’ll find a way, no matter what! So, please… don’t kill her! I’ll hunt down the one who slaughtered my family! [Action: Tomioka readies his sword to kill Nezuko.] Tanjirou I’ll make everything alright! Please! Please!! Don’t do it! (Thoughts) Don’t take anyone else from me. [Action: Tanjirou gets on his knees and bows with his head to the ground.] Tanjirou I’m begging you not to… Please… don’t kill my younger sister! Please don’t do it. I’m begging you… Tomioka Grr… Don’t ever give others a chance to murder you! Tanjirou Wha… Tomioka Stop that pathetic groveling! If it was the least bit effective, your family wouldn’t be dead! Can a weakling who can’t take the initiative in such a situation heal his sister?! Hunt down the enemy?! Don’t make me laugh! The weak have no rights or choices! Their only fate is to be relentlessly crushed by the strong! The demons might know how to cure your sister! But don’t think that a demon would respect your will or wishes! Naturally, I have no respect for you, either! That’s reality! Why did you throw yourself over your sister earlier? Was that your way of protecting her? Why didn’t you swing your hatchet? Why did you show your back to me? All those blunders led to your sister’s capture! I could have skewered her along with you! (Thoughts) Don’t cry. Don’t despair. Now’s not the time for that. (Thoughts) I know you’re devastated. (Thoughts) Your family was massacred, and your sister’s become a demon.

[Action: Tanjirou throws a rock at Tomioka, who bounces it off his sword. Tanjirou then gets up, grabs his hatchet, and runs through the trees, continuing to throw rocks at Tomioka.

(Thoughts) He hid his hands as he pretended to attack so I wouldn’t realize he was unarmed. (Thoughts) He knew he couldn’t beat me. (Thoughts) He tried to bring me down after I struck him! (Thoughts) This kid… Nezuko Uaar!! [Action: Nezuko breaks free from Tomioka’s grasp and kicks him away. She runs toward Tanjirou.] Tomioka Damn! She’ll devour him! [Action: Nezuko kneels in front of Tanjirou’s unconcious body to shield him.] Tanjirou (Flashback) Nezuko… It wasn’t Nezuko! She’d never eat humans! Nezuko Graahh! [Action: Nezuko lunges toward Tomioka. She begins attacking him. He dodges her attacks.] Tomioka (Thoughts) Long ago, someone said the same thing, only to be devoured by a demon. (Thoughts) When a demon is starving, it will kill and devour even its own parents or siblings because they’re nutrient-rich. (Thoughts) I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count. (Thoughts) This girl has been wounded, and she’s expending energy to heal those injuries. (Thoughts) She must’ve drained vast amounts of her strength as she transformed into a demon. (Thoughts) That means she’s severely starved at this moment, without a doubt. (Thoughts) She must’ve wanted to feast on a human right away, even if it’s her own brother… (Thoughts) Yet she protected him instead, and she even intimidated me… [Action: Nezuko jumps to a tree and lunges at Tomioka again. He sheathes his sword.] Nezuko Grr!! Tomioka (Thoughts) I wonder… These siblings might be… different from others.

He grabs onto the nearest thing he can. Nezuko is laid down next to him on her back. She has a bamboo gag in her mouth, attached by a length of fabric tied around her head.] Tanjirou Wha… Tomioka You awake? Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: Tanjirou gets up and moves to protect Nezuko.] Tomioka Go see an old man named Sakonji Urokodaki who lives at the foot of Mt. Sagiri. Tell him that Giyuu Tomioka sent you. She seems to be alright since it’s cloudy now, but never let her be exposed to the sunlight, okay? [Action: Tomioka disappears in a flash.

I’ll pay you for it. Farmer No, that’s all right. I mean, it’s a basket full of holes. Tanjirou No, I will pay you! Farmer No, it’s all right. You can have the bamboo and straw for free, too. Tanjirou But I’m still paying you! Farmer I said it’s okay! You’re one stubborn kid! [Action: Tanjirou slaps the money into the farmer’s hand.] Farmer Agh…! Tanjirou Please accept this, although it’s just small change! [Action: Tanjirou begins running off with the basket, straw, and bamboo.] Tanjirou Thank you very much! Farmer Ouch!! [Scene: At a cave in the mountains, during the day. Tanjirou calls for Nezuko, who is in the cave.] Tanjirou Nezuko? Huh? Nezuko? She’s gone! [Action: Nezuko pokes her head out of a hole in the ground.] Tanjirou She’s here. [Scene: At a cave in the mountains, during the day.] Tanjirou Nezuko… (Thoughts) She dug a hole?

[Action: Tanjirou fashions a covered basket for Nezuko with the basket, straw, and bamboo.] Tanjirou Nezuko? Nezuko. Think you can fit inside this? I want to keep moving during the day, too. I’ll carry you, okay? Can you fit? In here? Basket. [Action: Nezuko dives headfirst into the basket, but doesn’t quite fit.] Tanjirou She kinda protrudes, huh? (Thoughts) I can’t believe she grew up. Seems like yesterday that she was tiny. Huh? Nezuko. Remember how you became big like an adult earlier? Do you think you can do the opposite? Get smaller? Smaller, Nezuko! Get smaller!

I’m impressed! [Scene: In the late afternoon. Tanjirou walks down the path past a farm with Nezuko carried in the covered basket on his back.] Woman Mt. Sagiri? If you want to go to Mt. Sagiri, you’ll have to cross over that mountain, but… The sun’s about to set. Are you really heading there with all that luggage? It’s dangerous, you know. Tanjirou I’ll be careful. Thank you very much. Woman People have gone missing lately! Try not to lose your way! [Action: Tanjirou turns back to wave at the woman and continues walking down the path.] [Scene: At night, on a path going into the mountains. Tanjirou and Nezuko walk together until they reach a lighted temple.] Tanjirou Oh. There’s a temple over there. There’s light leaking through, so someone must be there. Let’s check it out. Ah… Hah! [Action: Tanjirou looks around.] Tanjirou I smell blood! This mountain path is pretty rough! Someone must have gotten hurt! [Action: Tanjirou and Nezuko run up the steps to the temple. Tanjirou slides the doors open quickly.] Tanjirou Are you all right?! Ah! [Action: The basket drops off Tanjirou’s back. Inside the temple, a demon has attacked several humans, leaving them dead. He’s eating their corpses.] Demon What the hell? This is my turf. If you break into my territory, I’ll make you pay! Tanjirou (Thoughts) It’s a man-eating demon! [Action: At the sight of the corpses, Nezuko begins salivating furiously.] Demon Huh? There’s something off about you. Are you both humans? Tanjirou Urk…! [Action: The demon charges Tanjirou, knocking both of them from the top of the steps to the temple.] Tanjirou Urk! [Action: Tanjirou uses his hatchet to slice the neck of the demon.] Tanjirou Urk… Demon Hahaha… A hatchet, huh? Not bad. But a scratch like this… should heal in no time. [Action: The wound Tanjirou inflicted heals.] Demon See that? The bleeding stopped already. Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: Nezuko continues to stare at the bodies in the temple. The demon moves too quickly to see and pounces on Tanjirou, pushing him to the ground.] Tanjirou Urk…! (Thoughts) He’s so fast! And he’s unbelievably strong! Demon You won’t get me twice! All right. I’m gonna snap your neck! Tanjirou Agh! [Action: At the sound of Tanjirou’s pain, Nezuko runs from the temple and kicks the demon’s head off in a swift motion.] Nezuko Urgh!

Urgh… [Action: Before Tanjirou can fall, Nezuko grabs the collar of his clothing. The headless body continues to fall. When the body falls on its neck, the demon feels it.] Demon Gahhh! [Scene: Back at the temple. Tanjirou draws a small blade to kill the unconscious demon head.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I wonder if there are tons of demons out there. (Thoughts) This isn’t the scent that was lingering in my house. That was a different demon… (Thoughts) But… I gotta finish him off, or he’ll attack more people. (Thoughts) So… I gotta do it! [Action: Tanjirou’s breathing gets harder as he hesitates to kill the demon.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Do it! [Action: A hand reaches out and takes Tanjirou’s shoulder.] Tanjirou Ah…! Ah! [Action: tanjirou turns to see a man wearing a tengu mask.] Urokodaki You can’t finish him off with that. Tanjirou (Thoughts) A goblin mask! (Thoughts) I didn’t hear his footsteps! H-How can I finish him off? Urokodaki Don’t ask me. Can’t you use your own head to figure that out? Tanjirou Ah… (Thoughts) If stabbing is no good… I’ll have to crush his head!

Tanjirou (Thoughts) I faltered too long. Now the sun’s coming up! Demon Are you listening, you brat?! Ah… Bwahh! Gahh! Ahh!! [Action: In the sunlight, the demon is burned alive and disintegrates.] Tanjirou Ah…! (Thoughts) He’s gone with that much sunlight?! (Thoughts) No wonder Nezuko shrinks from it! Ah… [Action: Tanjirou looks around.] Tanjirou Nezuko? Nezuko?! [Action: Tanjirou runs back to the temple. He sighs in relief when he sees Nezuko in her basket.] Tanjirou Nezuko… Ah… O-Oh, that’s right. Where’s that man? [Action: Tanjirou walks to the side of the temple, where Urokodaki squats with his hands in prayer.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) He buried the people who got killed. Umm… Urokodaki I’m Sakonji Urokodaki. I’m assuming you’re the one Giyuu Tomioka sent my way. Tanjirou Yes! My name is Tanjirou Kamado! My sister’s name is Nezuko, and… Urokodaki Tanjirou… What will you do when your sister devours a human? Tanjirou Huh…? [Action: Urokodaki slaps Tanjirou across the face.] Tanjirou Ah… Urokodaki Too slow! You’re just too slow at making decisions! You failed to finish off that demon before daybreak! Do you know why you couldn’t answer my question right away? It’s because your resolve is too weak! There are two things to do if your sister devours a human. Kill your sister! And slit your own belly and die! That’s what it means to travel with your sister who became a demon! But that must never happen no matter what. And best you not forget. Your sister, taking the life of an innocent person… That’s the one thing that must never happen. Ever! Do you understand what I’m saying? Tanjirou Yes! Urokodaki All right, now I’m going to test you to see if you’re fit to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Carry your sister on your back and follow me! [Action: Urokodaki begins running through farmlands, with Tanjirou following him some distance behind.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) He’s so fast! Just how old is he anyway?! (Thoughts) And, like earlier, I’m not hearing any footsteps at all! (Thoughts) Nezuko, I know it must be jarring, but please be patient! (Thoughts) Well, being patient is all <\|endoftext\|>

Tanjirou is dead tired.] Tanjirou N-Now, have I… passed the test? Urokodaki The test starts now. We’re going to climb a mountain. Tanjirou Ahh…! [Action: Tanjirou lies a sleeping Nezuko down in Urokodaki’s house.] Urokodaki I’ll make sure to take care of your sister for you. Tanjirou I’m counting on you, sir. [Action: At night, Urokodaki and Tanjirou set out to climb the mountain.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I’m exhausted… My legs are starting to buckle! (Thoughts) I’m starting to feel dizzy, too. [Action: Urokodaki stops.] Tanjirou Ah… Urokodaki Now, from here, go back down to the house at the foot of the mountain. This time, I’m not going to wait until daybreak! [Action: Urokodaki disappears into the mist.] Tanjirou What? (Thoughts) Is that all? (Thoughts) I see. He thinks I might get lost in this thick fog. (Thoughts) I just have to get back by daybreak, right? (Thoughts) That’s easy! I’ve got a great sense of smell! (Thoughts) I’ve already memorized Mr. Urokodaki’s scent!

(Thoughts) Rocks?! [Action: Tanjirou takes a few steps to the side and falls into a hole.] Tanjirou Ahh! Ugh… (Thoughts) A pitfall! (Thoughts) I get it now. So there are traps all around! (Thoughts) That’s the deal, huh? [Action: As Tanjirou crawls out of the hole, he reaches forward and triggers another tripwire.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Uh-oh! Urgh! [Action: From behind, a log attached to a rope swings forward and hits Tanjirou.] Tanjirou Ugh… (Thoughts) Crap, crap, crap!

(Thoughts) It’s way thinner here than on the mountain where I used to live! (Thoughts) That’s why I’m gasping for air like this and feel so dizzy! [Action: Tanjirou continues running forward.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Will I make it back? I might pass out! (Thoughts) No! I gotta make it back! [Action: Tanjirou pauses.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Get your breathing under control… and sniff out each of those traps! Ah! [Action: Tanjirou continues running.

Tanjirou opens the sliding door.] Tanjirou I… have… returned… [Action: Tanjirou falls to the ground.] Tomioka (Flashback) Forgive my abruptness, Mr. Sakonji Urokodaki. (Flashback) I’m sending a boy your way who wants to become a Demon Slayer swordsman. (Flashback) He was brazen enough to attack me unarmed. (Flashback) His family was slaughtered by a demon, and the surviving younger sister has become one, but I have determined that she will not attack humans. (Flashback) I can sense something different about these two. (Flashback) Like yourself, the boy seems to have a keen sense of smell. (Flashback) Perhaps he’ll find a way to break through and become your heir apparent. (Flashback) I am asking you to train him. (Flashback) I realize that this is a self-serving request, but please forgive me. (Flashback) I hope that you will take good care of yourself in your endeavors.

It’s an organization unrecognized by the government. Yet, it has existed since ancient times, and we continue to hunt demons today. But as for who’s leading the Demon Slayer Corps, that remains a mystery. Demons. Staple food: humans! They kill humans and feed on them. No one knows when and where they first appeared. Their physical prowess is remarkable. Wounds heal in the blink of an eye. Flesh is restored after being hacked off, and libs can be newly regenerated. Some demons can shapeshift. Others have otherworldly powers. They can only be killed by sunlight or by decapitation with a special sword. The Demon Slayers battle the demons with their own mortal bodies. Since they’re human, their wounds are slow to heal, and, once lost, their limbs don’t grow back! Even so, they battle the demons… to protect other humans. [Scene: On Mt. Sagiri. Tanjirou trains.] Urokodaki I am a trainer. I literally train swordsmen. There are many trainers, and each of them train their pupils with their own regimen in their location.

(Narration) Starting today, I’m going to keep a journal for Nezuko. (Narration) I’m descending the mountain again today. (Narration) I’m going to train my hardest so I won’t die during the Final Selection. Ah! Urgh…! [Action: A log swings toward Tanjirou. He barely dodges it. He jumps over another tripwire.] Tanjirou Ngh! (Narration) After repeatedly descending the mountain day after day, I’m starting to learn how to avoid most of the traps. (Narration) It’s because I’m much stronger now, and because I’m even more adept at detecting scents than before. (Narration) Even so… Ah! [Action: A bunch of short swords come flying toward Tanjirou and plant themselves into a tree near him.] Tanjirou (Narration) … the traps are getting more and more difficult. (Narration) He may really want to kill me! [Scene: On Mt. Sagiri during the day. Tanjirou descends the mountain again.] Tanjirou (Narration) I made my descent today, sword in hand, but the sword really hampered my movement. Ah… Ahh!!

Urokodaki trains Tanjirou on how to slice cleanly.] Urokodaki Swords break easily. Tanjirou (Narration) That’s what he told me beforehand. (Narration) Though it’s strong vertically, it’s weak horizontally. (Narration) You need to apply the force straight along the blade. (Narration) The blade’s direction and the direction in which you apply the force must be exactly the same. (Narration) And he added, “If you ever damage the blade, in other words, break it, I’ll snap your bones, as well,” in a threatening voice. [Action: Tanjirou writes in his journal. He rubs the sleep from his eyes.] Tanjirou Nezuko… I’ll keep working hard, okay? [Scene: Some days later, on Mt. Sagiri. Tanjirou faces Urokodaki with his sword in hand.] Tanjirou Huh? [Action: The world starts spinning, and Tanjirou falls to the ground.] Tanjirou Urk! Tanjirou (Narration) Today, I did nothing but fall. (Narration) Training to break my fall and get up quickly from any position. Argh! [Action: Tanjirou lunges toward Urokodaki with his sword.] Tanjirou (Narration) I wield my sword, and I charge Mr. Urokodaki, really trying to kill him. Ahhh!! (Narration) In contrast, Mr. Urokodaki is bare-handed and unarmed. [Action: Urokodaki rushes forward and grabs Tanjirou’s shirt.] Tanjirou Huh?!

[Action: Urokodaki throws Tanjirou over his shoulder.] Tanjirou Ah! What?! (Narration) But he’s ridiculously powerful! (Narration) He flings me away to roll on the ground every time. [Action: Tanjirou arrives back at Urokodaki’s house. He goes to Nezuko’s bed.] Tanjirou I’m home, Nezuko. [Scene: On Mt. Sagiri during the day. Tanjirou continues training.] Tanjirou (Narration) Today, I learned breathing techniques and some forms. Total Concentration Breathing? Urokodaki That’s right. And I’m going to teach you all ten of the Water Breathing forms. Remember to take a long breath so the oxygen flows into every cell in your body. This will enhance your body’s natural healing power, and both stabilize and energize your spirit. Relax your upper body while bracing your lower half. All right, breathe! [Action: Tanjirou takes a deep breath in and exhales. Urokodaki hits him in the stomach.] Tanjirou Gah! Urokodaki Wrong! Tanjirou Agh…! Urokodaki Next! Forms! [Action: Tanjirou practices the Water Breathing forms.] Tanjirou Right! Like this? Urokodaki Wrong! Tanjirou Like this? Urokodaki Wrong! Tanjirou This? Urokodaki Wrong! Tanjirou This? Urokodaki Wrong! [Action: Urokodaki elbows Tanjirou in the stomach multiple times.] Tanjirou (Narration) I get yelled at for not bracing my stomach and am clobbered to a pulp. [Scene: Tanjirou and Urokodaki stand on a cliff near a waterfall.] Tanjirou (Narration) Next, he told me to become one with the water. Urokodaki Get in there! Tanjirou Ah! [Action: Urokodaki kicks Tanjirou off the cliff.] Tanjirou Ah…! Ahhh! Nezuko!! [Action: Tanjirou belly flops into the water below. He stands under the waterfall.] Tanjirou Ahhh!! Nezuko! I am water! [Action: Tanjirou faints.] Tanjirou (Narration) And now it’s been six months since Nezuko was last awake. (Narration) Mr. Urokodaki summoned the doctor right away and had him examine her, but he found nothing wrong. (Narration) But it’s not normal for her to stay asleep like this. (Narration) I was scared. (Narration) I worry that one morning, I’ll wake up to find her dead. (Narration) Not a day goes by that I don’t worry. [Scene: On Mt. Sagiri. Tanjirou continues his mountain descent.] Tanjirou (Narration) My descents are getting more dangerous, and the air’s even thinner where I train. Ngh… Urgh… Agh! [Action: Tanjirou nearly slips off the side of a mountain.] Tanjirou (Narration) Time and time again, I think I might die. Agh! [Action: Tanjirou parries several short swords. The sun rises.] [Scene: On Mt. Sagiri. Tanjirou catches his breath.] Urokodaki I have nothing more to teach you. Tanjirou (Narration) A year after I arrived at Mt. Sagiri, he told me all of a sudden… Huh? Urokodaki The rest is up to you! Whether or not you can improve to the next level. Come with me! [Action: Tanjirou and Urokodaki climb further up the mountain. Snow is falling.] Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Urokodaki and Tanjirou stop in front of a large boulder.] Urokodaki If you can slice this boulder, I will allow you to enter the Final Sel <\|endoftext\|>

Tanjirou Ah… (Thoughts) Is a boulder… something you slice? (Thoughts) Something you can slice with a sword? (Thoughts) I don’t think I can do it. My sword will snap! [Action: Urokodaki turns to leave.] Tanjirou Ah…! Mr. Urokodaki, please wait! Mr. Urokodaki! (Narration) After that, Mr. Urokodaki never taught me anything again. Ngh…! [Action: Tanjirou draws his sword.] Tanjirou Argh! [Action: Tanjirou hits the boulder with his sword. A shockwave runs through him.] Tanjirou Urk! Ah… Hah… Argh! [Action: Tanjirou strikes again at the boulder.] Tanjirou (Narration) Every day, I practiced over and over what I’d learned from Mr. Urokodaki. (Narration) The basics like holding the breath and flexibility… I was glad I had written those down in my journal. Argh! [Action: Tanjirou strikes the boulder multiple times.] Tanjirou (Narration) But… even after six months had passed, I still couldn’t slice the boulder. (Narration) I felt frustrated. (Thoughts) Not enough! I’m not training hard enough! (Thoughts) I gotta do more! More! [Action: Tanjirou descends the mountain again. He goes back to slice the boulder.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Am I… hopeless? (Thoughts) Is Nezuko going to die without ever waking up? (Thoughts) Ahh! I’ll almost give in! I’m breaking down! [Action: Tanjirou hits his head against the boulder.] Tanjirou Keep working, Tanjirou! You can do it! Sabito Shut up! Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: Tanjirou looks up to see Sabito sitting on the boulder.] Sabito A man shouldn’t whine. It’s unseemly. Tanjirou (Thoughts) When did he show up? (Thoughts) There’s no scent. A fox mask? Sabito No matter how you suffer, bear it in silence… if you’re a man. [Action: Sabito jumps from the boulder.] Sabito If you call yourself a man. Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: Sabito attacks Tanjirou with a wooden sword. Tanjirou blocks it before getting hit, but Sabito kicks him away.] Tanjirou Urk… Agh! Urgh… Sabito Slow. Weak. Immature. That’s not what you call a man. [Scene: On Mt. Sagiri. Tanjirou faces Sabito.] Tanjirou What are you doing? Sabito I’d like to know what you think you’re doing. Tanjirou What do you mean? I’m training. Sabito How long do you plan to keep your butt on the ground without even taking a stance? Tanjirou Ah…! Ngh! [Action: Tanjirou gets up and readies himself.] Sabito Come on. Come at me. Tanjirou But you have a wooden sword, and I have a real sword! Sabito Hahaha… Hahaha! Tanjirou Huh…? Sabito Well, well! Thank you for worrying about me. So you think you’re actually going to injure me! [Action: Sabito charges forward. Tanjirou parries Sabito’s attack.] Tanjirou Ngh…! Sabito Well, you have absolutely nothing to worry about! I’m more powerful than you because I’ve sliced that boulder! Tanjirou (Thoughts) He sliced that boulder? [Action: Sabito pushes Tanjirou back and jumps off a tree to charge toward Tanjirou. Tanjirou parries his attack again.] Tanjirou Agh…! [Action: Sabito rushes through the trees, too quickly for Tanjirou to s <\|endoftext\|>

[Action: Sabito rushes through the trees, too quickly for Tanjirou to see. Sabito strikes Tanjirou down before he can parry.] Sabito You’ve learned nothing. You haven’t mastered a single thing! Particularly, the breathing technique Mr. Urokodaki taught you… Total Concentration Breathing. Tanjirou Ah…! (Thoughts) He knows Mr. Urokodaki? And the breathing technique, too? [Action: Tanjirou sits up to face Sabito.] Sabito All you did was memorize it as fact. Your body has no clue what it needs to do. What the hell were you doing for a whole year and a half? [Action: Sabito strikes at Tanjirou again. Tanjirou parries.] Tanjirou Urgh…! Sabito Slam it into your flesh! [Action: Sabito and Tanjirou exchange blows.] Sabito More! More! More! So that you’ll never forget the secrets Mr. Urokodaki taught you! Pound it into the marrow of your bones! Tanjirou I’m trying! I’m trying every single day! With everything I’ve got! But I’m not making any headway! I just can’t go any further! Sabito Go further! If you’re a man! [Action: Sabito strikes Tanjirou with the wooden sword.] Sabito If you call yourself a man! There’s no other way to go but forward! Bring it on! Show me what you’re capable of! Tanjirou Ahhh!! Urgh! [Action: Tanjirou charges forward at Sabito, but Sabito hits Tanjirou on his chin, knocking him out. Makomo appears.] Sabito I’m leaving the rest to you. Makomo Yeah. [Scene: At night. Tanjirou wakes up.] Tanjirou Ngh… Ah… Makomo Are you all right? Tanjirou Ah! [Action: Tanjirou sits up.] Tanjirou Did you see that just now? Makomo Huh? Tanjirou What a strike that was! Not a single bit of wasted motion! It was really beautiful! I want to become like that! You think I can become like him? Makomo Heh… I’m sure you can… since I’ll be looking after you. Hehe! Tanjirou (Thoughts) She’s so cute… Who are you? (Narration) This girl’s name was Makomo. (Narration) She told me the boy’s name was Sabito. (Narration) Makomo also pointed out my defects. (Narration) She corrected my unnecessary movements and bad habits. (Narration) But when I asked her why she was doing that, and where she came from, she didn’t tell me anything. Makomo Both he and I love Mr. Urokodaki very much. Tanjirou (Narration) That was Makomo’s pet phrase. (Narration) She and Sabito weren’t siblings. (Narration) She said Mr. Urokodaki raised them after they’d been orphaned. Makomo There are other children besides us. They’re always watching you, Tanjirou. Tanjirou (Narration) Makomo is a somewhat strange girl. (Narration) She speaks in such an abstract, dreamy way. Makomo See, Total Concentration Breathing accelerates your blood circulation and your heart rate. That causes your body temperature to spike, making you as strong as a demon while staying human. The most important thing is to expand your lung capacity. When you bring lots of air into your blood, and when your blood gets excited, your bones and muscles scurry to heat up and grow stronger.

[Action: Tanjirou continues his training.] Tanjirou (Narration) Until my arms and legs were ready to fall off… (Narration) Until my lungs and heart were ready to burst, I swung my sword. (Narration) But still… I just couldn’t beat Sabito. (Narration) Not until six months later. [Scene: Six months later, on Mt. Sagiri. Tanjirou and Sabito face each other.] Tanjirou (Narration) When I challenged him that day, Sabito was wielding a real sword. Sabito After six months, finally, you have the look of a man. [Action: Sabito draws his sword.] Tanjirou Today’s the day I win! (Thoughts) Head-on battles are simple. (Thoughts) Whoever’s stronger and faster wins. [Action: Tanjirou breathes deeply. Both Tanjirou and Sabito charge forward.] Tanjirou (Narration) The battle was over in an instant. [Action: Tanjirou slices straight down the middle before Sabito can.] Tanjirou (Narration) On this day, in this moment, for the first time, my blade reached Sabito first. [Action: Sabito’s mask splits in two.] Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: Sabito smiles.] Tanjirou (Narration) The moment I won, Sabito smiled. (Narration) He looked sad and happy. A relieved kind of smile. Makomo Tanjirou… Tanjirou Ah… Makomo You did great. Don’t forget what you just did. Win, okay, Tanjirou? Beat that guy, too. Tanjirou Ah… (Narration) The next thing I knew, Sabito was gone… Ah…! (Narration) … and my sword, which I was sure had slashed Sabito’s mask… had sliced the boulder. Character List: Tanjirou Kamado, Sakonji Urokodaki, Sabito, Makomo, Kiriya Ubuyashiki, Kanata Ubuyashiki, Shigeru Kamado, Demon Slayer candidate, assorted demons, Hand Demon (Hand Oni) Tanjirou (Narration) The reason I won… was because I learned to detect the scent of the opening thread. (Narration) When I’m battling someone and I pick up this scent, then I can see the thread. (Narration) The thread is connected from my blade to my opponent’s opening, growing taut the instant I see it. (Narration) My blade is drawn toward it with great force, and then I slash the opening. [Scene: In the forest. Tanjirou has cut the boulder in half successfully. Urokodaki walks toward him.] Tanjirou Mr. Urokodaki… Urokodaki I had no intention of sending you to the Final Selection. I didn’t want to see children die anymore. I was sure you wouldn’t be able to slice this boulder, but… [Action: Urokodaki pats Tanjirou on the head.] Urokodaki Well done, my boy. Tanjirou, you’re… a remarkable kid. [Action: Tanjirou tears up. Urokodaki hugs him.] Urokodaki Make sure you come back alive from the Final Selection. Both your sister and I will be waiting for you here. [Scene: At Urokodaki’s hut. Urokodaki is preparing dinner.] Tanjirou Wow… What’s the occasion? There’s so much. Urokodaki You’ve completed all your training, so we’re celebrating. Don’t be shy. Eat up. Tanjirou Thank you very much! [Action: Urokodaki offers a bowl to Tanjirou, and Tanjirou takes it.

He eats heartily.] Urokodaki (Thoughts) Tanjirou… there’s nothing more I can do for you. (Thoughts) From here on out, you’ll be going through such hardship and strife. Your training will seem like nothing in comparison. (Thoughts) So for now, at least, you should rest well without a care in the world. [Action: Later in the night, Tanjirou cuts his hair.] Urokodaki Hey, Tanjirou… Tanjirou Yes? Urokodaki Did you enjoy that hot pot? Tanjirou Yes! I haven’t had such a feast in so long! Urokodaki A growing boy like you with a hearty appetite should get stronger the more he eats, as well as grow bigger in size. But that goes for demons, too. Remember this. Basically, a demon is as strong as the number of humans he’s devoured. Tanjirou So, the more they eat, the stronger they get? Urokodaki That’s right. There are demons who gain power, become able to transform their bodies, and even use strange spells. [Action: Urokodaki takes out a fox mask from a cabinet.] Urokodaki When your sense of smell becomes keener, you’ll be able to tell how many humans a demon has consumed. [Action: Urokodaki gives Tanjirou the fox mask.] Tanjirou What’s this? Urokodaki It’s called a “warding mask.” I’ve charged it with a spell to protect you from harm. Tanjirou A warding mask… [Scene: The next morning. Tanjirou prepares for the Final Selection. Before he leaves, he goes to the back room where Nezuko is sleeping.] Tanjirou Nezuko… [Action: Tanjirou takes Nezuko’s hand and holds it.] Tanjirou I’m coming back here no matter what, all right? [Action: Urokodaki sees Tanjirou off.] Urokodaki Don’t worry about your sister. I’ll take good care of her. Tanjirou All right! Thank you very much! [Action: Tanjirou runs a bit from the house before looking back.] Tanjirou I’ll be going, then, Mr. Urokodaki! [Action: Tanjirou waves and runs a bit further from the house as Urokodaki also waves goodbye. Tanjirou turns around once again to wave back to Urokodaki.] Tanjirou Say hello to Sabito and Makomo for me! Urokodaki What? Tanjirou… how do you… know the names of those dead children? [Scene: At night. Tanjirou walks on a path through wisteria flowers.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Wow… Look at all these wisteria flowers. Even though they’re out of season… [Action: Tanjirou makes his way to a shrine where many other students are waiting.] Tanjirou Ah… There are so many. Kiriya, Kanata Everyone. We thank you for coming here tonight to the Demon Slayers Corps Final Selection. Kanata There are demons imprisoned here on Mt. Fujikasane, captured alive by the Demon Slayer swordsmen, and unable to leave. Kiriya That is because wisteria, which demons hate so much, blooms year-round from the bottom to halfway up the mountain. Kanata However, there is no wisteria from this point on, and so demons abound. Kiriya You need to survive here for seven days to pass the Final Selection. Kiriya, Kanata And now, be on your way.

[Action: Tanjirou kneels by a boulder and surveys the area.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) First, I’m going to survive tonight. (Thoughts) Once the sun comes up, the demons won’t be able to do anything, so I can get some rest then. (Thoughts) So I’ll have to head east! (Thoughts) I’m gonna make my way to where the sunlight will hit first! [Action: Tanjirou stops and prepares to draw his sword.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) This smell… It’s a demon! And it’s nearby! [Action: The demon runs through the trees around Tanjirou as he surveys the area.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Where is it? Where is it coming from? (Thoughts) I can’t pinpoint the direction of the scent! From above?! [Action: Tanjirou looks up. A demon jumps from the treetops and aims for Tanjirou. Tanjirou rolls out of the way, causing the demon to fly into the ground.] Demon 1 Hahaha! Tanjirou A demon… [Action: A second demon appears from behind, jumping and aiming to strike Tanjirou.] Demon 2 Gyaa!! Tanjirou Ah! Urk! [Action: Tanjirou draws his sword, using it to block the demon from scratching him. Tanjirou is launched back.] Demon 1 Damn you! [Action: Demon 1 attacks Demon 2.] Demon 1 Don’t even try to grab my prey, man! Get off my turf, dammit! Demon 2 The hell with you! Just beat it! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Two of them right from the get-go? I wonder if I can take them! Demon 1 That’s my prey, you know! Demon 2 Shut up! It’s first come, first served! [Action: Both demons run to Tanjirou, jump up, and attack. Tanjirou blocks their attacks. Demon 2 kicks Tanjirou away.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I’m okay! Just calm down and watch their movements! (Thoughts) Remember the training! [Action: The demons run at Tanjirou again.] Demon 2 It’s been ages since I last had human flesh! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Total Concentration! Water Breathing! [Action: Tanjirou breathes in deeply. The threads connecting his sword to the demons’ weak points appear.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) The scent of the thread! (Thoughts) Fourth Form! Striking Tide! [Action: With one attack, Tanjirou kills both demons.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I did it… I defeated demons! I’ve grown stronger! (Thoughts) All that training wasn’t for nothing… I’ve mastered it! (Thoughts) If I slash a demon with the sword Mr. Urokodaki gave me, [Action: Tanjirou remembers his training with Urokodaki.] Urokodaki (Flashback) A demon’s weak spot is its neck! (Flashback) But you can’t kill it with a normal sword even if you slash its neck. Tanjirou (Flashback) Then, how can I take it down? Urokodaki (Flashback) The swords wielded by the Demon Slayer Corps were forged with a special kind of steel. That’s the only way to kill a demon. (Flashback) They’re called the “Nichirin Swords.” [Action: Tanjirou sheaths his sword. He puts his hands together to pray for the demons.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Rest in peace.

He sees a candidate running through the forest.] Boy No one ever told me! I never signed up for this! Tanjirou (Thoughts) What’s going on? [Action: Tanjirou watches from behind a tree. He gasps when he sees a giant demon, the Hand Demon, lumbering through the forest after the boy.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) What the hell is that?! [Scene: In the forest where Tanjirou trained with Urokodaki.] Makomo Hey, Sabito… Do you think Tanjirou can beat that one? Sabito I don’t know. No matter how hard you try, it’s never enough. You know that well yourself, don’t you? [Scene: Back at the Final Selection forest. The candidate is still running from the Hand Demon. He trips and falls.] Boy What’s this morphed demon doing here anyway? They didn’t tell us! [Action: The Hand Demon comes into view. He holds a dead candidate in his grasp. As Tanjirou watches from behind a tree, the Hand Demon eats the dead candidate.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) He got eaten! [Action: The Hand Demon grows in size. The candidate gets up and runs off.] Boy Ahhh!! [Action: Before the boy can get far, the Hand Demon’s arms extend, catching the boy by the ankle and pulling him back.] Boy Ahh!! Tanjirou Ah…!

(Thoughts) Water Breathing! Second Form! Water Wheel! [Action: Before the boy is eaten, Tanjirou cuts off the Hand Demon’s arm. The boy drops to the ground near Tanjirou. The Hand Demon sees the fox mask on Tanjirou’s head.] Hand Oni Another sweet little fox has come to me. Tanjirou “Another”? [Action: The Hand Demon’s arm grows back.] Hand Oni Little fox cub, what is the year of Meiji now? Tanjirou It’s the Taisho Period now! Hand Oni Taisho? Ahhh!! Holy crap!! Time has passed into a new period?! Again! Again while I’ve been held prisoner inside this place! Ahhh!! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!! Damn you, Urokodaki! Damn you, Urokodaki! Damn you, Urokodaki! Damn you, Urokodaki!! Tanjirou How do you know Mr. Urokodaki? Hand Oni I know him, all right! Because Urokodaki is the one who captured me! I’ll never forget that day 47 years ago! Back when he was still hunting demons. It was the Edo Period during the Keio Era. Tanjirou Hunting demons? Edo Period? Boy You’re lying! No demon has ever lived that long! The only demons in here should be the ones who’ve eaten just two or three humans! They don’t live long because they’re killed during the Final Selection, and they even eat their own kind! Hand Oni Yeah, but I’ve survived all this time. Inside this wisteria prison, I’ve eaten at least fifty of you brats. Tanjirou Fifty…? Hand Oni Eleven… twelve… thirteen… That makes you Number 14! Tanjirou What are you talking about?! Hand Oni The number of Urokodaki’s disciples I’ve eaten, that’s what. I promised myself to kill every one of his disciples. Tanjirou Wha… Hand Oni Let <\|endoftext\|>

Tanjirou What are you talking about?! Hand Oni The number of Urokodaki’s disciples I’ve eaten, that’s what. I promised myself to kill every one of his disciples. Tanjirou Wha… Hand Oni Let’s see… The ones who particularly stand out to me… It’s those two. Those two… That brat’s hair was an unusual color. He was the most powerful. A scar by his mouth. The other one was a female brat in a flowery kimono. She was small and lacking in power, but she was awfully agile. Tanjirou Wha…? (Thoughts) They had already been killed by this demon? But I was with them! Hand Oni That mask. I can tell by the fox masks. I know the texture of the masks Urokodaki carved. The same style of carving he used for his own goblin mask. Warding masks, right? Everyone got eaten just because they were wearing them. They’re all here inside my belly. Urokodaki might as well have killed them himself! When I said that to the girl, she was crying and fell into a rage. And right after that, she lost control of her movements. I ripped off her limbs, and then… Tanjirou Grr… Yahhh!! [Action: Tanjirou runs toward the Hand Demon. The Hand Demon attempts to grab Tanjirou, but Tanjirou cuts all his hands away.] Sabito Calm down, Tanjirou. Your breathing is uneven. It’s all right. Never mind us! [Action: The Hand Demon punches Tanjirou from the side, sending Tanjirou flying into a tree. Tanjirou falls to the ground, and the fox mask breaks. The Hand Demon moves toward Tanjirou.] Boy (Thoughts) I’m getting out of here while the demon’s taking out that guy! [Action: The candidate runs away from the scene.] Hand Oni Another one of Urokodaki’s brats is dying. I wonder how he’s gonna feel when another one of his kids doesn’t come home. I wonder what kind of look he’ll have on his face. Oh man, I wish I could see it. [Action: Shigeru calls from Tanjirou’s subconscious.] Shigeru Big Bro… Big Bro…! Big Bro! Tanjirou Ah! [Action: Tanjirou wakes up and jumps out of the way before getting hit by the Hand Demon.] Hand Oni (Thoughts) He dodged it! So he can still move? Great! I can have some fun! [Action: The Hand Demon’s arms extend toward Tanjirou again. Tanjirou cuts each arm and sends each hand flying. When the arms regrow, Tanjirou escapes through the trees.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Damn! No matter how many arms I cut, they grow back in a second! Hand Oni You can’t defeat me just by slashing off my arms. Then again, even that pink-haired brat couldn’t slice off my head! [Action: Tanjirou cuts off a few more hands and stops to face the Hand Demon.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I can’t just let this one go. (Thoughts) Before any more lives are sacrificed, I gotta bring him down now! Ahhh!! [Action: Tanjirou runs forward and cuts the Hand Demon’s arms. He sniffs the air as he runs.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) A demon’s scent coming from the ground? [Action: Tanjirou jumps into the air as multiple arms burst from the ground.] Hand Oni (Thoughts) H-He jumped! Dammit, I missed him! (Thoughts) But there’s no way he can dodge this attack in mid-air! [Action: The Hand Demon’s arm extends and reaches out to grab Tanjirou’s head.] Makomo Do you think Tanjirou’s going to lose, too? His neck is so <\|endoftext\|>

Sabito He may lose, and yet, he may win. Either way, there’s one irrefutable fact. That Tanjirou… is the man who sliced the toughest, largest boulder of all. Tanjirou Urk! [Action: Tanjirou headbutts the Hand Demon’s hand.] Hand Oni (Thoughts) He deflected me! Tanjirou Uraaa!! [Action: Tanjirou runs down the Hand Demon’s arm. As he does, multiple arms grow from the arm and aim at Tanjirou.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Total Concentration! Water Breathing! [Action: Tanjirou cuts down each of the smaller arms and makes his way to the Hand Demon’s head.] Hand Oni (Thoughts) He got too close to me! (Thoughts) Not to worry. My neck is tough! He can’t slash it! Tanjirou (Thoughts) First Form! Hand Oni (Thoughts) As soon as he fails to cut my neck, I’m going to crush his head! Just like I did to the other one! [Action: The thread appears.] Tanjirou Uahhhh!! [Action: Tanjirou cuts the Hand Demon’s neck, beheading him.] Hand Oni Ugh… Tanjirou (Thoughts) Water Surface Splash!

As the Hand Demon’s arms reach out to grab him, Tanjirou cuts them away.] Tanjirou Ahhh!! [Action: As Tanjirou is running, the Hand Demon’s arms spring up from the ground. Tanjirou jumps high into the air. While he’s suspended, the Hand Demon’s arms reach out toward him. Before he is crushed by the Hand Demon, Tanjirou headbutts the hand away. He continues running along the Hand Demon’s arm.] Tanjirou Arhhh! (Thoughts) Total Concentration! Water Breathing! [Action: Tanjirou cuts the arms of the Hand Demon. He jumps forward, ready to kill the Hand Demon.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) First Form! Ahhh!! (Thoughts) Water Surface Slash!

In the present, Tanjirou is mid-air, ready to decapitate the Hand Demon.] Hand Oni Urokodaki! [Action: Tanjirou decapitates the Hand Demon. His head rolls away as his body quickly disintegrates.] Hand Oni Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! My body’s crumbling and disappearing. I can’t stop it! [Action: Tanjirou sheaths his sword.] Hand Oni Dammit… To think that the face of a Demon Hunter will be the last thing I’ll ever see… [Action: Tanjirou turns to face the Hand Demon. Instead of happiness or anger, Tanjirou has a look of pity.] Hand Oni How did it come to this? [Scene: In a dark realm, a young human boy, the Hand Demon, cries all alone.] H. Hand Oni I’m so scared.

I’m all alone. Brother, where are you? I want you to hold my hand! Like you always do! Why…? Why on earth did I bite you to death, Big Brother? [Scene: In the real world, Tanjirou walks over to what is left of the Hand Demon’s body.] Hand Oni Huh? Wait, who’s this “Brother” person? Tanjirou What a sad scent. [Action: Tanjirou takes the last hand of the Hand Demon’s body. The hand grips softly around Tanjirou’s hands. The Hand Demon cries. Tanjirou puts the Hand Demon’s hand to his forehead.] Tanjirou God, please… The next time this man is reborn, please make sure he doesn’t turn into a demon. [Scene: In the dark realm, the young Hand Demon sees a light. He runs toward the light, which comes from a lantern his older brother carries.] H. Hand Oni Brother! Brother Hmm? H. Hand Oni Brother! Brother! Hold my hand, will you? Brother You’re hopeless, you know? Still such a scaredy-cat. [Scene: In the real world, the last of the Hand Demon’s body disintegrates. Tanjirou looks up and sees the forest where he trained with Sabito and Makomo. The spirits of the students killed by the Hand Demon are gathered.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Sabito, Makomo… and everyone else who was killed… (Thoughts) I won. (Thoughts) You can rest easy now. (Thoughts) I guess you’re going home as promised. (Thoughts) Even though you’re just souls, you’re going back to Mt. Sagiri… and to Mr. Urokodaki whom you love very much. (Thoughts) If I’d ended up dead, my soul would’ve returned there, too. [Scene: Tanjirou continues on. In the rain, a demon chases him through the Final Examination forest. Tanjirou traps the Demon using tree branches.] Demon Grr!! Tanjirou There’s something I want to ask you. How do I turn someone who’s become a demon back into a human? Demon Grr… Gahh!! [Action: The demon breaks through the tree branches and rushes toward Tanjirou, but Tanjirou kills it before it can get to him. Two more demons show up.] Tanjirou Please tell me… how I can turn Nezuko… [Action: The two demons run toward Tanjirou.] Demons Guahhh! Tanjirou … back into a human! [Action: Tanjirou kills the two demons. He continues running through the forest. For a moment, he stops. When he sniffs the air, he finds that he is surrounded by wisteria flowers.] Tanjirou Wisteria? Hah… I made it. [Scene: In the morning. Tanjirou and three other candidates stand at the gathering area. Zenitsu, clad in yellow, looks exhausted. Genya, clad in black, looks angry. Kanao, clad in pink, is calm.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Only four of us? But there were at least twenty. I don’t see that guy here, either. It’s all because I blacked out at that moment. I couldn’t save him. Zenitsu I’m gonna die. Tanjirou Huh? Zenitsu I’m a goner. Even if I survive now, I’m gonna die in the end anyway. Kiriya, Kanata Welcome back. Kanata Congratulations. Kiriya We’re glad to see that you’re safe. Genya So? What am I supposed to do now? Where’s my sword? Kanata First, we shall issue you all uniforms.

Kanata Today, we will let you choose the ore for your swords, but the swords will take ten to fifteen days to complete. Genya Are you kidding me? Kanata But first… [Action: Kanata claps her hands twice. Four crows fly toward Tanjirou and the other three survivors. One lands on Tanjirou’s shoulder. Zenitsu is afraid of his. Kanao and Genya handle theirs easily.] Tanjirou Ah! Zenitsu Eek! Kiriya We will now assign each of you your own Kasugai Crow. Tanjirou Kasugai Crow? Kanata These Kasugai Crows can be used primarily for communication. [Action: Zenitsu has a sparrow perched on his hand.] Zenitsu Did you say “crow”? Isn’t this a sparrow, though? Genya Don’t give me that crap! Zenitsu Eek! [Action: Genya shakes the crow off his arm and marches toward Kiriya and Kanata.] Genya Who the hell cares about some stupid crow?! [Action: Genya grabs Kanata by her hair.] Tanjirou, Zenitsu Ah! Genya I want a sword, you hear? Gimme one right now. The Demon Slayers’ sword… The Color Changing Sword! [Action: Tanjirou grabs Genya’s arm.] Genya Huh? Tanjirou Get your hand off her. Or else I’ll break your arm! Genya Who the hell are you? Zenitsu Wha--? Wh-Wh-What should I do? Genya Let’s see you try it. [Action: Tanjirou takes a breath and begins squeezing Genya’s arm.] Genya Ah… Grr… Ahh!! Zenitsu Eek! [Action: Genya lets go of Kanata and backs away, holding his arm. Tanjirou stands in front of Kanata.] Genya Grr… Kiriya Are you finished chatting? Genya Grr… [Action: Kiriya pulls a cloth off a table, revealing a bunch of ores.] Kiriya Now then, please select an ore. The steel for the sword that will annihilate demons and protect you will be of your own choosing. Zenitsu Well, not that I’m going to live very long. Probably. Tanjirou (Thoughts) They’re asking us to choose, but how are we supposed to pick one out? (Thoughts) I’ve never seen an ore before, and I can’t tell the difference anyway. Genya I have absolutely no clue. Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Tanjirou sniffs the air. Soon after, he steps forward and chooses an ore.] [Scene: In a manor somewhere far away. Kagaya Ubuyashiki pets a Kasugai Crow.] Kagaya I see. As many of five of them managed to survive, huh? Excellent. The number of my children has increased again. I wonder what kinds of swordsmen they’ll become. [Scene: In the late afternoon. Tanjirou struggles to walk, alone on a path through a rice field.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I was so naive. (Thoughts) I couldn’t even have a talk with a demon. (Thoughts) All they did was attack me and try to kill me right away. Sorry, Nezuko.

Ugh… [Action: Tanjirou struggles but gets up again. He continues walking slowly up the mountain. At night, he reaches Urokodaki’s house.] Tanjirou I made it… Nezuko… Mr. Urokodaki… [Action: The door to Urokodaki’s house is kicked down from the inside.] Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Nezuko comes walking out from the house.] Tanjirou Hey! Nezuko! You… You’re awake! [Action: Nezuko runs toward Tanjirou. Tanjirou starts running toward her as well.] Tanjirou Nezuko! Ugh… [Action: Tanjirou falls flat on his face.] Tanjirou Ouch… [Action: As Tanjirou gets up, Nezuko reaches him and pulls him into a hug. Tanjirou begins to sob.] Tanjirou Ahh… Why… Why’d you fall asleep all of a sudden? Never waking up once! I was worried you were going to die, you know?! [Action: Urokodaki comes out of the house with a bunch of firewood. Upon seeing Tanjirou, he drops the firewood, walks toward the siblings, and hugs them both.] Tanjirou Uuh… Urokodaki You came back to us alive. [Scene: In Urokodaki’s house, later that night. Tanjirou and Urokodaki sit by a fire.] Urokodaki I see. You killed that morphed demon. Tanjirou Yes. Urokodaki At last. I’m truly impressed that you made it back. Tanjirou Yes. Urokodaki There are several kinds of demons. The demons who use a special spell called the “Blood Demon Art” possess supernatural abilities. You may have to fight those demons, as well, from now on. And battling them will be far more difficult than anything you’ve known until now. Even so, Tanjirou, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Tanjirou Right. Um… I think that Nezuko’s not like the other demons. Do you think it could be that Whatchamacallit Art? Urokodaki No, I don’t think so. I wouldn’t call that an example of the Blood Demon Art. I’m just guessing here, but it could be that Nezuko’s recovering her strength by sleeping instead of consuming human flesh. Tanjirou (Thoughts) I’ll protect you, Nezuko. [Scene: Fifteen days later. A man wearing a hat with windchimes around the brim walks slowly up to Urokodaki’s house. Tanjirou stands outside.] Tanjirou Huh? [Action: The man in the hat makes his way to Tanjirou.] Tanjirou Uh… Haganezuka My name is Hanagezuka. I have forged Tanjirou Kamado’s sword, and I am here to deliver it. Tanjirou Ah… Um, I’m Tanjirou Kamado. Please come inside. [Action: Haganezuka takes the sword off his back without going into the house. Tanjirou looks to be at a loss for words.] Haganezuka This is the Nichirin Sword. I forged it. Tanjirou Um… Please come in so I can serve you some te -- Haganezuka The materials for a Nichirin Sword can be obtained from the mountain closest to the sun.

A clown mask? Haganezuka Hmm? Hmm~? Hey, you’re a Child of Brightness, aren’t you? Now that’s what I call lucky. Tanjirou Oh no, I’m the son of Tanjuurou and Kie. Haganezuka That’s not what I meant. See how your hair and eyes are a reddish color? When a kid like you is born into a family that works with fire, it’s considered lucky and a cause for celebration. Tanjirou Is that right? I had no idea. Haganezuka There’s a good chance that this sword will turn red! Right, Urokodaki? Urokodaki Yeah. [Action: In the house, Tanjirou sits with Urokodaki and Haganezuka. Tanjirou holds his sword.] Haganezuka Come on, hurry up and draw it. Nichirin Swords are also known as “Color Changing Swords.” They change color depending on the bearer. Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Tanjirou slowly draws the sword. As he grips the handle, the blade of the sword slowly becomes black.] Tanjirou Oh! Haganezuka Black! Urokodaki It’s black, huh? Tanjirou Huh? Is it bad or something if it turns black? Is it unlucky? Urokodaki No, not necessarily, but you don’t see this pitch black too often. Haganezuka Guh… And I was hoping I’d get to see a bright red sword! Dammit!! Uweeeeeh! Tanjirou Wha?! [Action: Haganezuka jumps up and wrestles Tanjirou, pinning Tanjirou into an uncomfortable position.] Tanjirou Ouch! Stop! Please calm down! How old do you think you are?! Haganezuka I’m 37! [Action: While Haganezuka is wrestling Tanjirou, a Kasugai Crow comes flying into the house.] Tanjirou Ah… Crow Tanjirou Kamado! Here are your orders! Tanjirou Huh? It talks! Crow Make your way to a town in the northwest! Young girls have been vanishing there! Tanjirou Ah… [Scene: In a town in the northwest, a young man walks with a girl at night. They are talking to each other, but in an instant, the girl vanishes.] Crow Night after night, young girls have been vanishing! Hunt down the demon lurking there and kill it! Tanjirou Kamado, prepare yourself well for this task! This is your first assignment as a Demon Hunter! Tanjirou My first… assignment… Character List: Tanjirou Kamado, Sakonji Urokodaki, Kazumi, Satoko’s father (Sato.Father), Satoko’s mother (Sato.Mother), Tokie, Tokie’s mother (Toki.Mother), Swamp Demon (Swamp Oni), Nezuko Kamado, villagers [Scene: At Urokodaki’s house. Tanjirou gets changed into his Demon Slayer Corps uniform.] Urokodaki Have you gotten changed? Tanjirou Yes. Urokodaki All right. [Scene: At Urokodaki’s house. Tanjirou is preparing to head out.] Urokodaki Tanjirou. Now that you’re starting out with the Demon Slayer Corps, I’d like to explain a few things to you. Tanjirou Right. Urokodaki That Demon Slayer Corps outfit you’re wearing right now is made of a special kind of fiber. The fabric is quite breathable, yet it repels moisture and won’t burn easily.

Urokodaki That Demon Slayer Corps outfit you’re wearing right now is made of a special kind of fiber. The fabric is quite breathable, yet it repels moisture and won’t burn easily. A low-level demon’s talons or fangs couldn’t even manage to tear that uniform. Tanjirou It’s that strong? Urokodaki Also, that Nichirin sword of yours… The color varies from owner to owner, and each hue has unique properties. But since not many people end up with black blades, little is known about them. So little, in fact, that -- Tanjirou So little is known that… What, Mr. Urokodaki? Urokodaki Since so little is known about them, black blades are said to be wielded by swordsmen who’ll never go far. Tanjirou I don’t know how I’ll do in the Demon Slayer Corps, but I’m going to turn Nezuko back into a human no matter what. Urokodaki Yes, you’re right. I have faith that you’re going to make that happen. Tanjirou Right. Urokodaki One more thing. Take this. [Action: Urokodaki places a wooden box in front of Tanjirou.] Urokodaki It’s a box for you to carry your sister in during the day built out of an extremely light wood called “Cloud Mist Pine”. I coated it with rock lacquer to reinforce its exterior and to make it even more durable. Tanjirou Thank you very much! [Action: Tanjirou picks up the box.] Tanjirou It’s so light! It’s really light, Mr. Urokodaki! Hehe! [Action: Tanjirou places the box in front of Nezuko, who is hiding under the covers. He opens the door.] Tanjirou Nezuko. Get inside this, will you? Can you do it? Nezuko Mmm… [Action: Nezuko tries going into the box but hesitates. She eventually gets into the box.] Tanjirou Nezuko, from now on, we’re always gonna be together, okay? [Action: Tanjirou closes the box. Outside, he carries the box on his back. Urokodaki sends him off.] Tanjirou All right, I’ll be going now. [Action: Urokodaki steps forward toward Tanjirou.] Urokodaki Hold on. Do you mind? [Action: Urokodaki fastens the top button of Tanjirou’s uniform. He adjusts the straps of the box, and finally places his hands on Tanjirou’s shoulders.] Urokodaki All right. [Action: Urokodaki and Tanjirou nod to each other, and Tanjirou heads off.] [Scene: On a dirt path. Tanjirou walks along] Tanjirou Nezuko, are you all right? Nezuko? Urokodaki (Flashback) I’m just guessing here, but it could be that Nezuko is recovering her strength by sleeping instead of consuming human flesh. [Action: Tanjirou continues walking along with no response from Nezuko.] Tanjirou Nezuko… You get lots of rest. [Action: Tanjirou arrives in a town along a river.] Tanjirou Could this be the town to the northwest? [Action: Tanjirou continues into the town. Nearby, Kazumi walks, seeming to be in a daze.] Woman 1 Oh, look, there’s Kazumi. Poor thing. He looks so haggard. Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Tanjirou and Kazumi walk past each other.] Woman 2 Because he was with Satoko when she was taken. Man Night after night… It’s so creepy. Woman 1 It’s so dreadful! Woman 2 When night falls, yet another young girl will be abducted. Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: Tanjirou turns back toward Kazumi.] Tanjirou Mr. Kazumi! If you don’t mind, I’d like to hear your story.

I believe you! [Action: Tanjirou gets down and begins to smell the ground.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) There’s still a faint trace of demon scent, but it’s uneven, so to speak. (Thoughts) There’s something strange about this. Kazumi (Thoughts) Who is this kid anyway? [Scene: In a flashback. Kazumi is confronted by Satoko’s parents.] Sato.Father (Flashback) How dare you!

I’m flattered that you’re so concerned for me, but shouldn’t you pick up again tomorrow and get some rest? [Action: Tanjirou kneels down suddenly.] Kazumi Ah… Tanjirou Those things are active during the night. So I can’t afford to rest. I’ve detected a new scent in this area. It’s gotta be somewhere nearby. Kazumi Those things… Don’t tell me you’re… You’re seriously… [Scene: In a house elsewhere in the town.] Toki.Mother How terrifying. I want you to stay indoors for the time being. Tokie Yes, mother. Now then, good night. [Action: Tokie leaves the room. A dark shadow follows Tokie through the floor. Tokie enters her own room and sets down for bed.] Tokie I wonder what became of the girls who were taken. I just hope they’re all right. [Action: As Tokie closes her eyes to sleep, two hands appear out of the ground. They cover her mouth and drag her through the ground. Elsewhere in town, Tanjirou realizes something.] Tanjirou Ah!

If you’re inside my range of attack, I can protect you! [Action: Kazumi takes Tokie from Tanjirou. Tanjirou walks forward with his sword drawn.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) From the ground or this wall… It can probably emerge from anywhere. (Thoughts) There’s also the chance that it could show up out of thin air. (Thoughts) But this demon… even when it’s submerged, it can’t erase its scent! (Thoughts) Here it comes! (Thoughts) Water Breathing, Fifth Form! Ah! [Action: As Tanjirou steps forward to attack, three copies of the Swamp Demon rise out from the ground.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) There’s three of them!

Tanjirou and Urokodaki talk.] Urokodaki Tanjirou, listen to me closely. The type of demon with the blood that can turn humans into demons… There is only one in this world. Tanjirou Just one… Urokodaki The one who was the first to become a demon more than a thousand years ago. In other words, that is your family’s foe. Moreover, I believe he’s the one who might know how to turn your sister back into a human. Tanjirou Ah… Urokodaki That demon’s name is… Muzan Kibutsuji! [Scene: Back in the town. Tanjirou battles the Swamp Demon.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Eighth form! Waterfall Basin! [Action: Tanjirou’s attack cuts the arms from the ground.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Too shallow!

If I don’t devour her soon, she’s gonna lose flavor by the second! Kazumi Ah… [Action: One of the Swamp Oni copies rises front the ground behind Tanjirou.] Swamp Oni Calm down, my other self. Tanjirou Ngh…! Swamp Oni Hey, so what? There are gonna be nights like this. I’ve already fed on plenty of 16-year-old girls in this town. They were all quite meaty and delicious. I’m satisfied.

Another of the Swamp Demon copies attacks from behind as Tanjirou regains his footing.] Swamp Oni Ngh! [Action: Nezuko’s foot comes flying out of the box on Tanjirou’s back, sending the Swamp Demon flying.] Swamp Oni Urgh! [Action: Another copy of the Swamp Demon appears from the ground.] Swamp Oni Why would a mere human be accompanying a demon? (Thoughts) What’s the meaning of this? Who are those two? (Thoughts) Are they a swordsman and demon working together? [Action: Nezuko steps out from her box.] Swamp Oni (Thoughts) I don’t get it at all.

Between her and Tanjirou, a hole for the Swamp Demon appears.] Tanjirou Nezuko! [Action: The Swamp Demon reaches out to grab Nezuko, but she jumps over him and rejoins Tanjirou.] Swamp Oni Ngh! Tanjirou Ah… (Thoughts) Mr. Urokodaki did tell me… that Nezuko is a demon now. (Thoughts) And that she’s not necessarily so weak that I have to protect her. (Thoughts) Is it all right to let her handle this? (Thoughts) If I have her watch over those two, I can focus on my attacks. [Action: Tanjirou steps toward Nezuko, Kazuki, and Tomoe. As he does, the Swamp Demon’s shadow appears at his feet. Tanjirou jumps back, creating a space between him and the other three.] Tanjirou Ngh…!

You should’ve looked before you leaped in, you damn fool! [Action: Two copies of the Swamp Demon circle around Tanjirou.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Don’t underestimate me!

[Action: Tanjirou stops. Muzan turns more, revealing a little girl in his arms.] Tanjirou Ah… Girl Who’s that? Tanjirou Ah…! Muzan It’s all right. Don’t worry. Tanjirou (Thoughts) He’s… He’s… He’s… (Thoughts) He’s living here, pretending to be a human! Muzan Is there something I can do for you? You seem to be quite flustered. Woman 1 Oh, my. What’s going on? Girl Mother! [Action: Tanjirou covers his mouth and grips his clothes.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) They’re humans! (Thoughts) The girl and the woman… Their scent is human! (Thoughts) Don’t you know? Can’t you tell? That this guy is a demon? That he devours humans? Woman 1 Do you know him? Muzan No. Much to my consternation, I’ve never seen this child before. He must have mistaken me for someone else. [Action: Muzan scratches a man passing by.] Woman 1 Oh, you think so? Tanjirou Ah! [Action: The man scratched by Muzan clutches at his neck.] Man 2 Ah… Woman 2 Dear, what’s the matter? Man 2 Ngh… Woman 2 Dear? [Action: The man, having turned into a demon, turns to the woman.] Man 2 Urah!! Woman 2 Ah! Tanjirou Stop! [Action: The man bites the woman’s neck.] Woman 2 Ahh!!

Muzan has scratched a random man and given him some of his demon blood.] Tanjirou Ah…! Man Ugh… Woman Dear, what’s the matter? Dear? Man Urahhh! Woman Ahh! Tanjirou Stop! [Action: The man bites the woman.] Woman Ahhh!! [Scene: In Asakusa. A group of people surround the man biting the woman.] Woman Ahhh!! Passersby What’s this? What’s going on? I-Is that blood? Man Grr… Urahhh!! Woman Ahh!! Tanjirou Stop it! [Action: Tanjirou charges forward and tackles the man away from the woman. He shoves his cloth-wrapped fist into the man’s mouth.] Woman Dear! Tanjirou Ma’am! You need to worry about yourself! Please take a cloth and press down hard on the wound! Man Urahhh! Tanjirou Kuh… Ngh! [Action: As the man struggles, Tanjirou holds him in place.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) It’s all right. Somehow, it’s going to turn out fine. (Thoughts) The wife’s wound isn’t fatal! [Action: Two men are attempting to help the woman, but she looks to be in rough shape.] Tanjirou Do it harder! Do it harder! Tie it up with a rope! (Thoughts) It’s going to be all right. This man hasn’t killed anyone! Man Urahhh!! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Just a second ago, this man was just walking down the street! [Action: The daughter that Muzan holds in his arms begins to cry.] Muzan Are you all right? You mustn’t look. It’s dangerous here, Rei. Let’s move over there. Tanjirou (Thoughts) Where’d he go?! [Action: Tanjirou turns to see Muzan, Rei, and the daughter walking away.] Tanjirou Ah…! Kuh…! Man Urahh… Urahhh…! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Dammit…! Dammit! (Thoughts) I can’t leave this man here! Muzan Kibutsuji! I’m not letting you get away! No matter where you go! Rei What’s the matter with that child? What do you think, Tsukihiko? Tanjirou No matter where you go, you’re not getting away! I’ll follow you to the ends of Hell, and I swear I’ll slice off your head with my blade! I’ll never forgive you, no matter what! [Action: Several policemen arrive at the scene.] Policemen What the hell are you doing?! Is it a drunk? Kid, step away from that man! Tanjirou I can’t! Bring some restraints please! Please! Policeman Shut up and step away! [Action: One of the policemen tries to pull Tanjirou off the man, but Tanjirou does not budge.] Tanjirou Please don’t do that! No one can hold down this person but me! Policeman Move! Tanjirou Please don’t do that! Policemen Ah… Just look at this guy’s face! Has he lost his mind? Pull the kid off him! Tanjirou Please stop!

Look, you… If you’re going to keep resisting… [Action: The policeman raises his baton to hit Tanjirou. Before he can, Tanjirou smells the scent of flowers.] Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: Tamayo scratches deep wounds along her arm.] Tamayo Enchanting Blood. Aroma of Visual Fantasy. Tanjirou (Thoughts) What’s this scent? [Action: The policeman about to hit Tanjirou can’t hit him because of an array of flower patterns in the air.] Policemen Woah! What are all these patterns? Ah! [Action: The patterns surround Tanjirou and knock the policemen away.] Policemen Ah! What’s going on? I can’t see anything! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Is this some kind of attack? If it is, that means trouble! (Thoughts) Is the scent growing stronger? [Action: Tamayo and Yushirou approach Tanjirou.] Tamayo You still use… the term “person”… to refer to even a transformed demon. And you’re trying to save him. Allow me, then, to lend you a hand. Tanjirou But why? You… Your scent tells me… Tamayo That’s right. I am… a demon, but I am also a doctor, and I wish to annihilate that man, Kibutsuji. [Scene: Elsewhere in Asakusa. Muzan has left the scene with Rei and the daughter.] Daughter Aren’t you coming, Daddy? Muzan Daddy has work. I have a business meeting to attend. I’m also concerned about that disturbance just now. Rei Dear… Muzan Don’t worry. I’m only going to speak with the police. Now, get in. [Action: Rei and the daughter get into a car.] Daughter Daddy, come home soon, okay? Muzan All right. You be a good girl now. Take them back to the house. Go on. [Action: The car drives off. Muzan walks into an alleyway. Three siblings are walking through the alleyway as well.] Boy 1 Big bro, let’s hit up one more bar! Girl Yacchan, are you okay? Boy 1 I’m fine, I’m fine! I’m not even drunk yet -- [Action: The boy bumps into Muzan.] Boy 1 What the hell, you bastard? Muzan Forgive me. [Action: Muzan continues walking away, but the drunk boy grabs his shoulder.] Boy 1 Hey, come back here! Muzan I’m very sorry, but I happen to be in a hurry, so… Boy 1 Huh? What did you say? Hey, look at you, decked out in those posh-looking threads! You piss me off! You and your pale face… You look like you’re about to fall over dead! Hey, say something, will you? Or did you just croak? [Action: Muzan raises his fist.] Boy 1 Huh? [Action: Muzan punches the drunk boy into the wall, hard enough to crack it.] Boy 1 Ugh… [Action: The drunk boy slumps to the ground, leaving streaks of blood on the wall.] Girl Yacchan! Boy 2 What did you do to my kid brother?! Girl You! He’s dead! Yacchan’s not breathing! Boy 2 Ngh… You bastard! [Action: The second drunk boy raises his fist to punch Muzan, but Muzan kicks him up into the air above the rooftops.] Boy 2 Gah… Girl Ah…! [Action: The second brother falls to the ground, also dead. Muzan approaches the girl.] Girl Eek! Muzan Does my complexion look unhealthy to you? Is my face pale? Do I look sickly to you? Do I look like I’m not long <\|endoftext\|>

Do I look like I’m about to die? Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. I’m a living being who’s definitely close to perfection. [Action: Muzan’s fingernail becomes sharp. He points it at the girl’s forehead and stabs it in. The area around the wound becomes dark.] Muzan What do you think will happen if I keep flooding you with my blood? Girl Urgh… Ugh…! [Action: The girl’s body begins to convulse.] Muzan The human body is unable to withstand the speed of transformation. [Action: Muzan withdraws his finger from the girl’s forehead. Her body has turned purple.] Muzan … and its cells are destroyed. Girl Ahh! [Action: The girl’s body melts into a puddle of flesh. Muzan snaps his finger, and two demons, Susamaru and Yahaba, appear.] Muzan Bring me the head of the Demon Slayer who wears hanafuda-like earrings. Understood? Yahaba As you wish. Susamaru Your wish is our command. [Action: Susamaru and Yabaha disappear.] Muzan Those earrings… [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou is back at the udon cart. The chef is yelling at him.] Chef Now, listen to me! Here’s the deal… My point is this, okay? It’s not about the money! What I can’t forgive is your lack of intent to eat my udon, all right?! Tanjirou I’m so sorry! Please serve me another bowl! Chef So you’re gonna eat it?! Tanjirou Yes! Chef You’re definitely gonna eat it? Tanjirou Yes, I shall! Chef Okay! You, too! If you’re gonna have udon, take off that bamboo thingy first! What is that thing anyway?! Take these chopsticks! Chopsticks! [Action: Tanjirou grabs the chopsticks in the chef’s hand.] Chef Ngh! Tanjirou I’d like a bowl of udon! I’d like two bowls of udon! Chef R-Right… [Action: The chef prepares two bowls of udon, and Tanjirou eats them both rapidly.] Tanjirou Thank you very much for the meal! That was delicious! Chef As long as you get it! It’s all good! Thanks for your business! [Action: Tanjirou and Nezuko leave the cart.] Tanjirou Sorry about that, Nezuko. Leaving you behind like that… Nezuko Ngh… [Action: Nezuko stops in her tracks and glares at something ahead.] Tanjirou Woah… What’s wrong, Nezuko? Ah… [Action: Tanjirou turns to see Yushirou standing near a tree.] Tanjirou So you’ve been waiting for us? Yushirou Because I was told to bring you to see her. Tanjirou I could’ve tracked you by scent. Yushirou She’s in a place that’s under a cloaking spell. No way you could find it. Tanjirou Cloaking? Yushirou Anyway… [Action: Yushirou points at Nezuko.] Yushirou … isn’t that woman a demon? And an eyesore to boot. Tanjirou (Thoughts) Eyesore? Eyesore? Does he mean “ugly”? Who? (Thoughts) Nezuko?! Who in their right mind would call her an eyesore?! Just take a good look at her features! She was the beauty of our hometown! Our Nezuko! Yushirou Let’s go. [Action: Yushirou begins leading Tanjirou and Nezuko.] Tanjirou Sure, we’ll go, but still! No way is she an eyesore! Not on your life! Take a look at her where there’s a bit more light! Come on, let’s go over there! <\|endoftext\|>

It might be because of this muzzle! I’d like you to behold Nezuko without the muzzle! [Action: Yushirou walks into the wall and disappears.] Tanjirou Huh?! [Action: Yushirou pokes his head out of the wall.] Yushirou Hurry it up. While no one’s around. [Action: Tanjirou pushes his hand into the wall and goes through.] Tanjirou Oh! [Action: Tanjirou and Nezuko land on the other side of the wall, revealing a large house. A paper with red patterns is on the wall.] Tanjirou Ah…! There’s a house behind the dead end! Yushirou Get over here! Listen. Make sure you don’t offend that person in any way. Personally, I couldn’t care less what happens to you. But I brought you here because she insisted! Tanjirou R-Right… [Action: Yushirou leads Tanjirou and Nezuko into the house. He knocks on a door.] Tamayo Come in. [Action: Yushirou, Tanjirou, and Nezuko enter the room. Tamayo sits on a chair next to the woman who was attacked earlier. She lies in a bed.] Yushirou I have returned. Tamayo Welcome back. Tanjirou I’m sorry that I left you to take care of things just now. How is the lady? Tamayo She'll be just fine. Unfortunately, I have to keep her husband restrained in the basement. Tanjirou Isn’t treating human wounds unbearable for you? [Action: Yushirou punches Tanjirou in the chest.] Tanjirou Urk! Yushirou You think demons treat humans while choking back their own drool at the smell of blood? Tanjirou Sorry. Tamayo Stop it. Why would you resort to violence? Yushirou Ah… Tamayo I never introduced myself, did I? My name is Tamayo. That boy is Yushirou. I hope that you’ll be his friend. Tanjirou Ah… Yushirou Kuh…! Tanjirou (Thoughts) I don’t think that’s gonna happen! Tamayo It’s not that unbearable, you know. Tanjirou Ah… Tamayo I believe it’s much easier for me than for normal demons. Because I’ve tweaked my body considerably. I’ve also removed Kibutsuji’s curse. Tanjirou Curse? T-Tweaked your body? [Action: Tamayo takes off her doctor’s coat and walks to a door.] Tamayo Come this way. [Action: The group moves to a tatami room. Nezuko lies down immediately.] Tanjirou Hey, Nezuko, that’s bad manners! Tamayo That’s quite all right. Please make yourselves at home. Tanjirou Sorry. Tamayo Now then, allow me to continue. I adjusted our bodies so that we can live without devouring humans. A small amount of human blood is all we need. Tanjirou Blood? You mean… Tamayo You may find it distasteful, but what I do is buy blood under the guise of transfusions from those unable to make ends meet. Of course, no more than would impair them. Tanjirou (Thoughts) I see. So that’s why I’m not picking up that strange scent unique to demons from these two. (Thoughts) But they do need human blood after all. (Thoughts) If blood is all they need, then Nezuko… Tamayo Yushirou can get by with even less blood. I’m the one wh <\|endoftext\|>

(Thoughts) If blood is all they need, then Nezuko… Tamayo Yushirou can get by with even less blood. I’m the one who turned him into a demon. Tanjirou Huh? You did that? But… Huh? Tamayo You’re right. It’s generally held that no one but Kibutsuji can reproduce demons. That’s more or less accurate. After more than 200 years, I was only able to transform Yushirou into a demon after all. Tanjirou Two… Two hundred years… You were only able to transform Yushirou after more than two hundred years?! Exactly how old are you, Miss Tamayo?! [Action: Yushirou punches Tanjirou again.] Tanjirou Gah! Yushirou Don’t ask a lady her age, you ill-mannered scoundrel! Tanjirou Ahhh!! Tamayo Yushirou! The next time you hit that boy, I’ll make you regret it! Yushirou Yes, ma’am! (Thoughts) She’s beautiful even when she’s angry! Tamayo There’s one thing I’d like to clear up with you. I’m not trying to create more demons. I only perform the procedure on the terminally ill or those so gravely injured that they don’t have long left to live. And in those cases, I always ask them beforehand if they wish to live on even as demons. [Action: Tanjirou takes a sniff of the air.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) The scent she’s giving off is pure and devoid of deception. (Thoughts) She’s someone I can trust. Miss Tamayo, is there a way to return a transformed demon back to human form? [Scene: Elsewhere, on a darkened street. Susamaru and Yahaba are searching for Tanjirou. Yahaba gets on his knees and searches the ground.] Susamaru See anything? Yahaba I can see. I can see footprints. This is it. This is it. [Action: Yahaba points his hand forward, and footprints become visible.] Yahaba Make a huge turn over there. There are three of them. And one’s carrying some kind of big box. Susamaru How should we kill them, I wonder. Fufufu… I can feel the flow of power. Because of all the blood he shared with me. Yahaba Of course we’re going to slay them vindictively. [Scene: At Tamayo’s house. Tamayo, Yushirou, Tanjirou, and Nezuko converse in the tatami room.] Tamayo There is a way to turn a demon… back into a human. Tanjirou Ah… Please tell me how! Yushirou Don’t you dare get so close to Lady Tamayo! [Action: Yushirou flips Tanjirou over onto the floor.] Tanjirou Gahh! Tamayo Yushirou… Yushirou Ah! Yes, ma’am! I only threw him, Lady Tamayo. I did not hit him. Tamayo You mustn’t do either. Yushirou Yes, ma’am! Tanjirou Ouch, ouch, ouch… Please tell me how. Tamayo For any kind of wound, there’s always some kind of medicine or treatment. At this time, I’m unable to turn a demon back into a human, but surely, that, too… Tanjirou Ah… Tamayo However, we are dedicated to establishing such a method of treatment. Toward that end, I’d like to ask you to do something for me. To produce such an elixir, it is necessary to study the blood of numerous demons. I have two favors to ask you. One, permission to study your sister’s blood. Two, to retrieve blood samples from demons as closely related to Kibutsuji as possible. Nezuko’s current condition is extremely rare and unique.

One, permission to study your sister’s blood. Two, to retrieve blood samples from demons as closely related to Kibutsuji as possible. Nezuko’s current condition is extremely rare and unique. I understand that she was asleep for two straight years, and I believe that her body underwent changes during that time. Normally, any demon who went that long without consuming flesh or blood of a human or beast would unquestionably go berserk. Yushirou (Thoughts) Lady Tamayo is beautiful today, too! (Thoughts) I’m sure she’ll be beautiful again tomorrow! Tamayo And yet, surprisingly, Nezuko shows none of those signs. This miracle will be the key to finding a solution. Tanjirou (Thoughts) Nezuko… [Action: Tanjirou places his hand on Nezuko’s forehead.] Nezuko Mm… [Action: Nezuko takes Tanjirou’s hand and nuzzles into it.] Tamayo The other request I have for you is a harsh one. By “demons closely related to Kibutsuji”, I mean demons whose powers are more on par with that of Kibutsuji himself. It won’t be easy to extract blood from such demons. Are you still willing to go along with my requests? Tanjirou If there’s no other way, then I’ll do it. If it means you’re going to research all these demons’ blood and create this medicine… If that happens, that means it won’t just be Nezuko. Lots of other people will be saved, too, right? Tamayo Ah… That’s right. [Action: Tamayo smiles gently at Tanjirou. He blushes.] Tanjirou Ah… Yushirou Kuh…! Tanjirou Erk! [Action: Susamaru’s ball rips through the patterned paper on the wall.] Yushirou Ah… Get down! [Action: Susamaru’s ball bounces furiously around the room. Yushirou protects Tamayo while Tanjirou protects Nezuko. The balls go back toward Susamaru, who is waiting in the garden with Yahaba.] Susamaru Hahaha! Yahaba Fufufu… Did you decide how to kill them? Susamaru Vindictively, of course! [Action: Susamaru throws her balls back into Tamayo’s house.] Susamaru Hehehe! Yahaba Hah… Yushirou Kuh…! Tanjirou Kuh! Character List: Tanjirou Kamado, Tamayo, Yushirou, Nezuko Kamado, Susamaru, Yahaba [Scene: Near Tamayo’s mansion. Susamaru and Yahaba arrive.] Susamaru How should we kill them, I wonder. Fufufu! I’m overflowing with power. Thanks to all the blood he shared with me. Yahaba We’re going to slay them brutally, of course. [Action: A temari ball comes flying through the wall of the house.] Yushirou Ah…! Get down! [Action: Yushirou protects Tamayo and Tanjirou protects Nezuko as the temari ball bounces wildly around the room. The balls return to Susamaru.] Susamaru Hahaha! Yahaba Fufufufu… Did you decide how to kill them? Susamaru Brutally, of course! [Action: Susamaru throws the temari balls back into the house.] Susamaru Hehehe! Yahaba Ha! Yushirou Ngh…! Tanjirou Ngh… Kuh! [Scene: At Tamayo’s mansion. The temari balls once again return to Susamaru.] Susamaru Hahaha! You were spot on, Yahaba! A building just appeared out of thin air! Yahaba Yes. The handiwork of a demon that’s adept at hiding objects. And is the demon hunter accompanied by a demon? What’s going on here? Susamaru Hahahaha! Isn’t this fun? Yahaba Still, I have to point this out, Susamaru… Your way of doing things is too immature. It’s too carele <\|endoftext\|>

Yahaba Still, I have to point this out, Susamaru… Your way of doing things is too immature. It’s too careless. You covered me! My kimono is all covered in dirt now! Tsk… Susamaru Oh, stop whining! We managed to find them right away thanks to my temari, so who cares? And now we can have lots of fun! [Action: Susamaru throws her temari balls back into the house. They return to her again.] Yahaba Tsk… You’ve gone and covered me in dirt again! Susamaru You’re so uptight. Your kimono isn’t the least bit soiled. And besides… Hahaha! There they are! Tanjirou (Thoughts) A temari? She caused this much damage just by throwing around a toy? Yushirou (Thoughts) That woman… Is she one of Kibutsuji’s minions? Susamaru Hahahaha! Hah! [Action: Susamaru throws her temari balls at the house again. They fly around wildly.] Tanjirou Ngh…! [Action: A temari ball goes flying at Yushirou.] Yushirou Lady Tamayo! Ah…! [Action: The ball changes direction suddenly.] Yushirou Ngh…! [Action: The temari ball smashes through Yushirou’s head.] Tanjirou Yushirou!! Dammit! Nezuko! Take the lady sleeping in the back somewhere safe outside! Nezuko Mm… Tamayo It’s too dangerous outside! We have a basement, so take her there! Tanjirou Understood! Nezuko! Nezuko Mm! [Action: Nezuko runs off to find the woman sleeping in the other room. Tanjirou draws his sword.] Susamaru Hahaha! That’s one out for the count! Tanjirou (Thoughts) She’s giving off a totally different scent from any of the other demons! (Thoughts) Is it stronger? It has a really thick scent! It feels so heavy once it enters my lungs! [Action: The temari balls return to Susamaru.] Susamaru Hm? The demon hunter wearing hanafuda earrings… That’d be you, huh? Tanjirou Ah… (Thoughts) I’m the one they’re targeting? Miss Tamayo! Please find a safe place to hide! I’m the one they’re after! Tamayo Tanjirou, please don’t worry about us. We’ll be fine without your protection. We’re demons, after all. Susamaru All right… It’s all over for you now! [Action: Susamaru throws a temari ball at Tanjirou.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) That temari will only veer if I try to dodge it. [Action: Tanjirou closes his eyes and concentrates on the ball.] Tanjirou Kuh…! (Thoughts) Of the ten forms, the fastest thrusting technique is… (Thoughts) Total Concentration! Water Breathing! (Thoughts) Seventh Form! Droplet Ripple Thrust Curve! [Action: Tanjirou stabs through the temari ball with his sword.] Susamaru (Thoughts) Oh, so your plan is to thrust at the curve diagonally to soften the temari’s blow? (Thoughts) However… [Action: The temari ball begins to move on Tanjirou’s sword.] Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: The temari ball removes itself from Tanjirou’s sword.] Tanjirou Ngh…! (Thoughts) Ngh… How can that temari move around like that? (Thoughts) It swerved unnaturally when it struck Yashirou, too! (Thoughts) It’s not like it has any natural spin to it, and yet… What’s going on? Tamayo Yushirou! Yushirou! [Action: Yushirou’s head begins to reform.] Yushirou La… Tanjirou Erk! Yushirou Lady Tamayo! Didn’t I tell you? We shouldn’t get involved with that <\|endoftext\|>
<\|startoftext\|> [Story ID: Demon Slayer][Part: 41 of 341] f I try to dodge it. [Action: Tanjirou closes his eyes and concentrates on the ball.] Tanjirou Kuh…! (Thoughts) Of the ten forms, the fastest thrusting technique is… (Thoughts) Total Concentration! Water Breathing! (Thoughts) Seventh Form! Droplet Ripple Thrust Curve! [Action: Tanjirou stabs through the temari ball with his sword.] Susamaru (Thoughts) Oh, so your plan is to thrust at the curve diagonally to soften the temari’s blow? (Thoughts) However… [Action: The temari ball begins to move on Tanjirou’s sword.] Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: The temari ball removes itself from Tanjirou’s sword.] Tanjirou Ngh…! (Thoughts) Ngh… How can that temari move around like that? (Thoughts) It swerved unnaturally when it struck Yashirou, too! (Thoughts) It’s not like it has any natural spin to it, and yet… What’s going on? Tamayo Yushirou! Yushirou! [Action: Yushirou’s head begins to reform.] Yushirou La… Tanjirou Erk! Yushirou Lady Tamayo! Didn’t I tell you? We shouldn’t get involved with that demon hunter! I told you from the start! My masking technique is still a work in progress! I know you’re well aware of that yourself! I may be able to conceal the presence of buildings and people, and even their scents, but it’s not like I can hide their very existence! Tamayo Ah… Yushirou The greater our numbers, the more traces we’ll leave, which increases the odds of Kibutsuji discovering us! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Those demons got so close, yet there was no scent until they attacked. (Thoughts) So that was the work of Yushirou’s Blood Arts, huh? Yushirou Anyone who ruins the time I spend alone with you… I despise such people! I despise them with all my heart! It’s unforgivable! Susamaru Hahaha! Hey, he’s just blabbering away! [Action: Susamaru flings her overcoat away and opens her top.] Susamaru This is fun! I’m having so much fun! You should feel honored to be killed by me, one of the Twelve Blood Moons! Tanjirou Twelve Blood Moons? Tamayo They serve directly under Kibutsuji! Susamaru Hahahaha! [Action: Four more arms appear from Susamaru’s sides.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) She grew more arms! Susamaru Now then, let’s keep playing! Until the break of dawn! Until it’s your time to go! [Action: Susamaru throws six temari balls at Tanjirou.] Tanjirou Ngh…! [Action: Tanjirou dodges the attacks. The temari balls go flying wildly around the room. One hits Yushirou’s cheek.] Yushirou Kuh…! Tamayo (Thoughts) If I were to cast my Blood Arts now, it would affect Tanjirou as well. (Thoughts) And Yushirou needs time to prepare before he can attack. (Thoughts) But if this goes on… [Action: Tanjirou deflects some of the temari balls with his sword.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) There it is again! They changed trajectory again, even without hitting anything! [Action: Tanjirou cuts a few of the temari balls in half, but they still attack him.] Tanjirou Ngh…! (Thoughts) Even if I cut them and they lose force, they still end up hitting me anyway! Ugh… Ngh…! (Thoughts) I can smell two different scents of blood. That means there are two demons! I can locate them with their scent! But… [Action: Three temari balls fly toward and injure Tamayo and Yushirou.] Tanjirou Miss Tamayo! Yushirou! [Action: A temari ball flies toward Tanjirou. He blocks it with his sword.] Tanjirou Kuh… (Thoughts) I can’t… I don’t have time to protect them! Tamayo We’ll heal soon enough! Don’t worry about us! Yushirou Hey! You dumbass demon hunter! The arrows show which direction they’re going! Just dodge the arrows! Tanjirou Arrows? Yushirou Seriously, you can’t even see them? [Action: Yushirou takes a piece of paper out from his clothes.] Yushirou I’m going to lend you my sense of sight! That should at least enable you to behead that temari woman! Ngh! [Action: Yushirou throws the piece of paper at Tanjirou. It lands on his forehead. Tanjirou can see the arrows.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I can see them now! She was using those arrows to control… the trajectory of the temari! [Action: Five temari <\|endoftext\|>

She was using those arrows to control… the trajectory of the temari! [Action: Five temari balls come flying at Tanjirou. He manages to dodge all of them.] Tanjirou Thanks, Yushirou! I can see the arrows now, too! Yushirou Hurry up and defeat her then! [Action: Nezuko appears from the back room.] Tanjirou Nezuko! Let’s go outside! Take care of the demon up in the trees! Nezuko Mm. [Action: Nezuko heads outside with the temari balls following. Tanjirou follows behind. Nezuko heads for the trees.] Tanjirou I’m your target! Susamaru The demon hunter wearing hanafuda earrings… No question about it. I’m going to bring your head to our lord! Tanjirou Kuh…! Susamaru Hahahaha! This is fun! [Action: Susamaru throws more temari balls at Tanjirou. He runs as they follow him.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Nezuko, how much longer will it take? [Action: Nezuko finds Yahaba in the trees.] Yahaba Hm? [Action: Nezuko launches her attack on Yahaba.] Nezuko Ngh… Ngh! Yahaba Ah! [Action: The arrows following the temari disappear.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) They’re gone! [Action: Tanjirou slices through the temari balls.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Water Breathing! Haah! (Thoughts) Third Form! Flowing Dance! [Action: Tanjirou slices all of Susamaru’s arms off.] Tanjirou Miss Tamayo! Do these two demons have high concentrations of Kibutsuji’s blood? Tamayo Most likely. Tanjirou In that case… I’m going to be extracting their blood! [Scene: In the past, at Tamayo’s mansion. Tamayo, Yushirou, Tanjirou, and Nezuko are gathered.] Tamayo (Flashback) I have two favors to ask of you. (Flashback) One, permission to study your sister’s blood. (Flashback) Two, to retrieve as many blood samples from demons with a high concentration of Kibutsuji’s blood as you can. (Flashback) A demon with a high concentration of Kibutsuji’s blood means a demon close in strength to Kibutsuji himself. (Flashback) It won’t be easy to extract blood from such demons. [Scene: In the present. Tanjirou fights Susamaru.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Third Form! Flowing Dance! [Action: Tanjirou cuts off Susamaru’s arms.] Tanjirou Miss Tamayo! Do these two demons have high concentrations of Kibutsuji’s blood? Tamayo Most likely. Susamaru Hahahaha! You think you can extract our blood? I don’t know what you’re scheming, but I won’t allow you to do anything that displeases our lord! Tanjirou Ah…! Susamaru If you think you can extract blood from us Blood Moons, then go ahead and try! Yushirou Watch your back! Don’t let your guard down for a single second! If those two really are from the Twelve Blood Moons, then they’re undeniably more formidable than any other demon you’ve slain up to this point! Tanjirou Right! Understood! Watch my back, don’t let my guard down for a single second, undeniably… until now… Right! I’ll do my best! Yushirou Lady Tamayo! Let’s use those two as decoys and escape! Tamayo Ah! [Action: Tamayo makes a horrified face at Yushirou.] Yushirou I’m just kidding! [Scene: In the trees. Nezuko makes her assault on Yahaba.] Yahaba Hm? Nezuko Ngh!

[Action: Susamaru’s arms grow back.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) She grew new arms in such a short time! (Thoughts) She can regenerate way faster than the demons I fought during the Final Selection! Susamaru I’m going to bring him that head of yours. [Action: Nezuko comes flying at Tanjirou from the trees.] Tanjirou Ah…! Nezuko! Yahaba Hmph. Susamaru Now then, why don’t you two die together? [Action: Susamaru throws the temari ball at Tanjirou and Nezuko, but Tanjirou pushes them both out of the way.] Nezuko Ngh… Tanjirou Kuh… Are you okay, Nezuko? Yushirou Hey, demon hunter! Tanjirou Ah… Yushirou You get rid of that arrow man first! The three of us will take care of that temari woman! Tanjirou Understood! Nezuko, whatever you do, don’t push yourself too hard. Nezuko Mm… [Action: Nezuko sees Yashirou and Tamayo emerging from the house. In them she sees her mother and her younger brother Rokuta.] Nezuko Ah… Ngh…! Tanjirou I’m counting on you.

[Action: The eye on one of Yahaba’s hands closes. The opening thread snaps.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) The thread snapped! [Action: An arrow appears under Tanjirou’s foot. He steps on it, sending him back.] Tanjirou Ahh! [Action: A second arrow sends Tanjirou flying against a tree.] Tanjirou Ugh… Ngh…!

[Action: Yushirou reappears.] Yushirou You hurt Lady Tamayo! I’ll never forgive you for that! Yahaba Tamayo? Hey, Susamaru, the one over there… Wouldn’t that be Tamayo the fugitive? She’ll make a great souvenir! Susamaru Is that so? [Action: Susamaru throws temari balls at Nezuko and Yashirou.] Nezuko Ngh…! [Action: Nezuko brings her leg back.] Yushirou Idiot! <\|endoftext\|>

Susamaru This is fun! I’m having so much fun! Kickball sure is fun. Yahaba! You think four heads will be enough to take home? Yahaba No. We’re taking just two. The demon hunter and the fugitive. We have no use for the other two. Tanjirou Kuh…! [Action: Tamayo tends to Nezuko’s leg.] Tamayo Nezuko… (Thoughts) The bleeding isn’t stopping instantly. She recovers so slowly. This medicine will help heal your leg right away, all right? [Action: Tamayo injects Nezuko with medicine. Nezuko sees Tamayo as her mother again.] Nezuko Ah… [Scene: Outside in the garden. Tanjirou faces off against Yahaba.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) What should I do? I can’t afford to lose! (Thoughts) But even if I can see the opening thread, tracing it will be difficult! (Thoughts) Any move would be pointless… unless I can land my blow with pinpoint accuracy! (Thoughts) If I’m off by even a little, it won’t be strong enough to take him down! (Thoughts) He’ll just change the blade’s direction using his arrow skills! (Thoughts) And I hate to say it, but those eyeballs are really creepy! Though I hate to say it! [Action: An eye on Yahaba’s hand closes.] Yahaba Hmph! Hahahaha! [Action: Arrows fly toward Tanjirou. He dodges out of the way.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) These arrows are so fast! (Thoughts) And they won’t disappear until they hit me! I can’t cut them with my sword, either! [Action: Tanjirou brings his sword down on one of the arrows.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) The instant the blade touches them, I’ll get blasted in the arrow’s direction! [Action: The arrow flies Tanjirou into a wall.] Tanjirou Ugh… Gah…! [Action: Tanjirou loses his grip on his sword.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) What should I do? [Action: An arrow sends Tanjirou flying upward.] Yahaba Hah! Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: An arrow wraps around Tanjirou’s arm.] Tanjirou Gah! Yahaba Everything is going in the direction I want it to! Your arm’s gonna get twisted right off! Tanjirou Ngh…! [Action: Tanjirou runs up a tree.] Tanjirou Ngh!

Tanjirou Ngh…! (Thoughts) I can’t take much more of his attacks! I’ve gotta strike back! (Thoughts) I’ve gotta change the arrow’s direction without touching it directly! Yahaba Tsk… It’s about time to die! [Action: Yahaba sends more attacks toward Tanjirou.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Adapt your movement! (Thoughts) First, use the Sixth Form to envelop the arrow!

(Thoughts) I did it! The Whirlpool move loses force when it’s not underwater! (Thoughts) But thanks to my opponent’s attack, it gained power, and I was able to envelop the arrows! [Action: Yahaba’s head lands on the ground.] Yahaba Ngh…! Curse you! Curse you! Curse you! All I had to do was bring back your head, and I would’ve won his approval! I’ll never forgive you! I’ll never forgive you! Shoving my face into this vile dirt! You’re going down with me! [Action: Yahaba’s hands send an attack to Tanjirou. Several arrows appear through Tanjirou’s body.] Tanjirou Ah…! (Thoughts) Oh no! He’s gonna get me! [Action: Tanjirou is sent flying by the arrows.] Tanjirou Ah! (Thoughts) I’m getting pulled by a force stronger than the arrows he’s hit me with! (Thoughts) I gotta unleash move after move and go on the defensive, or my body’s going to get smashed! Fourth form! Striking Tide! [Action: Tanjirou releases an attack, and he hits the ground instead of a tree.] Tanjirou Ugh… [Action: Another arrow sends Tanjirou flying into the air.] Tanjirou Ah… Ngh…!

Yushirou Ngh… [Action: Susamaru starts throwing her temari balls at Yushirou. Yushirou dodges them.] Yushirou Ridiculous! It’s child’s play for me to evade a linear attack like this! Locating you is a breeze, as well! [Action: Yushirou disappears.] Susamaru Heh… (Thoughts) The same goes for you! No matter how well you might conceal yourself, I can see you clear as day! [Action: Susamaru throws a temari ball straight for Yushirou’s head.] Yushirou Ngh…! [Action: Nezuko blocks the ball with her foot and kicks it away.] Susamaru Haha! What fun this is! Nezuko Mm… Yushirou Hey, you! Don’t be so rash just because you’re immortal! [Action: Nezuko sees her younger brother in Yushirou.] Yushirou Wh-What’s wrong?

You little brat! (Thoughts) So, now you can kick my temari back at me? How insolent! [Action: Susamaru drops her temari ball and kicks it to Nezuko. The two kick the ball to each other.] Susamaru Ngh… You damn brat! Nezuko Ngh…! Yushirou Unbelievable. Lady Tamayo, is this… Tamayo I used a healing serum on her, nothing more. Made exclusively for demons. Nezuko Ngh! Tamayo It doesn’t make one physically stronger. What we’re seeing is Nezuko’s own power. Without devouring human blood, solely on her own… Nezuko is gaining strength at a rapid rate. Nezuko Ngh… Ngh! [Action: Nezuko kicks the temari ball at Susamaru’s head. Susamaru narrowly avoids it.] Susamaru Ah… Tamayo (Thoughts) However, her opponent is also formidable. If she were to go all-out, Nezuko wouldn’t stand a chance. (Thoughts) I’ve got to… do something.

Step back, you damn fugitive! Tamayo Just tell me one thing please. Are you aware of Kibutsuji’s true identity? Susamaru Ah…! What the hell did you say?! Tamayo That man is nothing but a coward. He lives in constant fear of something. Susamaru Stop it! Damn you! Stop it! Tamayo Do you know why it is that demons can’t band together? The reason why demons cannibalize each other? It’s to prevent other demons from banding together and attacking him. He manipulates demons to act this way. Demons like you. Susamaru Shut up! Shut up, shut up! No way is he that petty! Yushirou Ah… (Thoughts) Lady Tamayo… is casting a spell. [Action: Tamayo’s hand bleeds as a scent wafts from it.] Susamaru The power he wields is mind-blowing! There’s no one stronger than him! Not Lord Kibutsuji! Ah…! [Action: Susamaru covers her mouth.] Susamaru Ah! Tamayo You’ve uttered that name out loud, haven’t you? That will trigger the curse. Susamaru Ah… Ah…! Yushirou (Thoughts) Magical Aroma of Daylight. It weakens its target’s brain functions, rendering that person unable to lie or keep secrets. (Thoughts) It’s immensely potent, Lady Tamayo! Tamayo I do feel sorry for you, but… farewell. [Action: Susamaru runs off.] Susamaru Ahh… Ahh!! Please forgive me! Please forgive me! I’m begging you! Please! Please forgive me! [Action: Susamaru’s body begins to degrade.] Susamaru Ah… Ahh… Ahhh!! [Action: Arms burst from Susamaru’s mouth and upper body.] [Scene: At Tamayo’s mansion. Susamaru has been subjected to Kibutsuji’s curse.] Tanjirou Ah… Yushirou A-Ahh… [Action: The arm coming from Susamaru’s mouth crushes her head.] Tanjirou Ah…! Yushirou Ahh… [Action: Susamaru’s body is broken apart until only an arm and eyeball are left.] Tanjirou Did she just die? Tamayo She will die momentarily. That’s the curse. Her physical body will be destroyed by Kibutsuji’s cells still in her body. Tanjirou Ah… Tamayo In general, battles between demons are futile. It’s pointless because they can’t inflict fatal wounds on each other. Only sunlight and the swords of Demon Slayers can do so. Kibutsuji alone appears to be able to destroy demon cells. [Action: Yushirou runs over to Tanjirou and shoves a cloth in his face.] Tanjirou Ah…! Yushirou Don’t go inhaling Lady Tamayo’s spell! It’s harmful to the human body! You got that? [Action: Tanjirou nods.] Tamayo Tanjirou… She is not one of the Twelve Kizuki. The Twelve Kizuki have numbers engraved on their eyeballs, but this demon doesn’t have one. Most likely, the other demon isn’t a member of the Twelve Kizuki, either. They’re too weak. Tanjirou Huh? Too weak? At that level? Yushirou If Lady Tamayo says so, there’s no mistake. Still, who knew there were suck stupid demons? She physically injured Lady Tamayo. She got exactly what she deserved. [Action: Tamayo retrieves a blood sample from Susamaru’s arm.] T <\|endoftext\|>

It’s pointless because they can’t inflict fatal wounds on each other. Only sunlight and the swords of Demon Slayers can do so. Kibutsuji alone appears to be able to destroy demon cells. [Action: Yushirou runs over to Tanjirou and shoves a cloth in his face.] Tanjirou Ah…! Yushirou Don’t go inhaling Lady Tamayo’s spell! It’s harmful to the human body! You got that? [Action: Tanjirou nods.] Tamayo Tanjirou… She is not one of the Twelve Kizuki. The Twelve Kizuki have numbers engraved on their eyeballs, but this demon doesn’t have one. Most likely, the other demon isn’t a member of the Twelve Kizuki, either. They’re too weak. Tanjirou Huh? Too weak? At that level? Yushirou If Lady Tamayo says so, there’s no mistake. Still, who knew there were suck stupid demons? She physically injured Lady Tamayo. She got exactly what she deserved. [Action: Tamayo retrieves a blood sample from Susamaru’s arm.] Tamayo I hope this blood will be instrumental in developing the healing serum. I’m going to take care of Nezuko. Not only did I medicate her, but she also inhaled my spell inadvertently. I’m so sorry. Yushirou Ah! Don’t move a muscle! You’re on your own now! I don’t want to leave Lady Tamayo’s side! Not even for a second! [Action: Yushirou runs off with Tamayo.] Susamaru Ma… ri… Tanjirou Huh? Susamaru Mari… Mari… [Action: Tanjirou gets up and brings the temari ball to Susamaru.] Tanjirou Here’s your mari. Susamaru Play with me. Play with me. Tanjirou (Thoughts) You’re just like a little kid. Even though you must’ve murdered scores of people. [Action: The sun rises, and Susamaru’s arm disintegrates.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) You were deluded into thinking you were in the Twelve Kizuki. Deceived… Compelled to fight… And now, you were killed by the Kibutsuji curse. (Thoughts) There’s no salvation. (Thoughts) Even after you die, not even your bones will remain. (Thoughts) Is this the price you pay for killing others? Ngh… (Thoughts) Kibutsuji… This is how that man treats even those who revere him! (Thoughts) He’s a true… demon! [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou walks into Tamayo’s mansion.] Tanjirou Tamayo! Yushirou? Yushirou Over here! Over here! Tanjirou Huh? Yushirou Not that you need to come at all. But if you want to, then get down here. Tamayo Yushirou! Yushirou Only joking! Tamayo Hurry down, then, Tanjirou! Tanjirou Oh, right! [Action: Tanjirou heads down to the basement.] Tanjirou Ah… Nezuko! [Action: Nezuko runs up to Tanjirou and hugs him.] Tamayo I moved her to this basement, where the sunlight won’t reach her, ahead of daybreak. [Action: Nezuko pulls away from Tanjirou.] Tanjirou Oh… Nezuko? [Action: Nezuko hugs Tamayo.] Tamayo Ah… Yushirou Ngh…! Why, you! Step away from Lady Tamayo! That’s so rude! Tamayo Stop it, Yushirou. I don’t mind at all. Yushirou Yes, ma’am! (Thoughts) You have such a kind heart, Lady Tamayo. You’re too beautiful to believe! Nezuko Mm… Mm~… [Action: Nezuko pats Yushirou’s head.] Yushirou Cut… that… out! Tamayo Nezuko has been acting this way since she awoke. Do you think she’s all right? Tanjirou There’s nothing to worry about. She’s fine. She probably thinks you’re someone in our family. [Action: Yushirou tries pushing Nezuko’s hand away.] Yushirou Cut it out! Tamayo Family? But I thought the spell Nezuko is under causes her to see humans as her family. And Yushirou and I are demons. Yushirou Cut it out! Tanjirou But Nezuko has perceived you two as humans. That’s why she tried to protect you. [Action: Nezuko gives up and goes back to hugging Tamayo.] Tamayo Ahh… Tanjirou At first, I didn’t like the idea of Nezuko being under a spell, but since it looks like she has a will of her own, I’m glad that -- [Action: Tanjirou looks up to see Tamayo tearing up.] Tanjirou Ah…! I-I’m so sorry! Nezuko! Nezuko! S-Step away from her! It’s rude, all right?! [Action: Tamayo returns Nezuko’s hug.] Tamayo Thank you… <\|endoftext\|>
<\|startoftext\|> [Story ID: Demon Slayer][Part: 49 of 341] ! Nezuko Mm… Mm~… [Action: Nezuko pats Yushirou’s head.] Yushirou Cut… that… out! Tamayo Nezuko has been acting this way since she awoke. Do you think she’s all right? Tanjirou There’s nothing to worry about. She’s fine. She probably thinks you’re someone in our family. [Action: Yushirou tries pushing Nezuko’s hand away.] Yushirou Cut it out! Tamayo Family? But I thought the spell Nezuko is under causes her to see humans as her family. And Yushirou and I are demons.

I-I’m so sorry! Nezuko! Nezuko! S-Step away from her! It’s rude, all right?! [Action: Tamayo returns Nezuko’s hug.] Tamayo Thank you… Nezuko… Thank you… Yushirou Ah… [Action: Yushirou remembers back to when Tamayo saved him.] Tamayo (Flashback) Do you still wish to live? (Flashback) Do you still wish to live even if you’re no longer human? (Flashback) If this goes on, you will most likely succumb to your illness. However, losing your humanity will cause you pain and grief. (Flashback) Do you still wish to live? Yushirou and I will leave this region. Tanjirou Huh? Tamayo We’ve gotten too close to Kibutsuji. We must conceal our whereabouts soon or the risk will be too great. Not to mention, even if I think I’ve concealed my identity, when I interact with humans as a doctor, people sometimes see through my disguise as a demon. The young and the elderly are particularly perceptive. Tanjirou… Tanjirou Yes? Tamayo Would you like us to take Nezuko in? Yushirou Wha…! Tanjirou Huh? Tamayo I can’t give you an absolute guarantee that she’ll be safe, but I believe it will be less dangerous than taking her into battle. Tanjirou (Thoughts) That might be true. She’s right. It would be better for Nezuko to be in their care. [Action: Nezuko takes Tanjirou’s hand.] Tanjirou Ah… Ahh… [Action: Tanjirou squeezes Nezuko’s hand in return.] Tanjirou Miss Tamayo, thank you so much for your concern. But… Nezuko and I are staying together. We’re not going to live apart from each other. Never again. Tamayo Very well. In that case, I wish you long-lasting good fortune in battle. Yushirou All right. We’ll be leaving after we erase all traces of ourselves. You two get going now! Tanjirou Right! Okay, Miss Tamayo, Yushirou, we wish you well! [Action: Tanjirou bows to Tamayo and Yushirou.] Tanjirou Let’s go, Nezuko. [Action: Nezuko runs off.] Tanjirou Ah…! Don’t go rushing off like that! [Action: Tanjirou follows after Nezuko.] Yushirou Tanjirou! Tanjirou Huh? Yushirou Your kid sister… is a beauty. Tanjirou Ah… Hahaha! [Scene: On the road. Tanjirou and Nezuko set off. A kasugai crow flies overhead.] Crow South-southeast! South-southeast! South-southeast! Your next location is south-southeast! Tanjirou I heard you! I heard, so give me a break and quiet down!

Zenitsu’s sparrow continues making frantic motions as Zenitsu harasses the girl.] Zenitsu I’m begging you!! There’s no one else! You’re all that I have! Tanjirou Okay… Okay… I see! Gotcha! I’ll do something about it! [Action: The girl pushes Zenitsu away from her.] Zenitsu Please help me! Please marry me! I’m begging -- [Action: Tanjirou pulls Zenitsu away from the girl.] Zenitsu Gah! Tanjirou What do you think you’re doing right in the middle of the road?! Can’t you see she wants no part of you?! And don’t go making trouble for your sparrow, either! Zenitsu Ah… That uniform! You’re that guy from the Final Selection! Tanjirou No one I know is anything like you! I don’t know you! Zenitsu What?! But we met, remember? We met, remember?! You’re the one with the problem! Like your memory! [Action: Tanjirou recognizes Zenitsu from the Final Selection. He lets go of Zenitsu’s collar.] Tanjirou All right, it’s been taken care of. You can head home now without any worries. Girl I will. Thank you very much! Zenitsu Hey!! Stay out of my way! That girl is going to marry me! Because she’s in love with me, all ri -- [Action: The girl slaps Zenitsu across the face.] Zenitsu Wha… Gah! [Action: The girl continues slapping Zenitsu on the head.] Zenitsu Hey! Ouch! That hurts! Stop it! Stop it! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Tanjirou H-Hey, calm down! [Action: Tanjirou holds the girl back from slapping Zenitsu more.] Zenitsu Ahhh!! Girl When did I ever tell you that I loved you?! You were crumpled up on the side of the road looking ill, and all I did was speak to you! Zenitsu What?! You mean you didn’t reach out to me out of love because you were worried?! Girl I already have a fiance, so not on your life! With all that energy, you must be fine now, right?! Goodbye! [Action: The girl storms off.] Zenitsu W-Wait, come back! Come… Tanjirou Look, cut it out! Zenitsu Wh-Why’d you get in my way?! This has nothing to do with you! [Action: Tanjirou looks at Zenitsu, clearly disgusted.] Zenitsu What’s with that look on your face?! Stop that! Why are you staring at me like I’m a creature or something?! Hey, you! You’re responsible for it! Since it’s your fault that I missed out on getting married! [Action: Tanjirou looks even more disgusted.] Zenitsu Jeez, say something! Listen up! I’m going to die soon! During my next job! The thing is, I’m terribly weak, okay?! I’m not kidding! You gotta protect me until I manage to get married, all right?! Tanjirou My name is Tanjirou Kamado!

Tanjirou What do you mean, save you? What was your reason for becoming a swordsman, Zenitsu? Why are you being so blatantly shameless? Zenitsu That’s a harsh way to put it! I got swindled by a woman and racked up all this debt! The old geezer who took it over for me was a cultivator! Day after day, I had to go through hellish training! It was so bad that I thought I’d be better off dead! I was hoping I could die during Final Selection! But since I was lucky enough to survive, I’m still going through hell every day! Ahhh!! I’m so scared! Scared! Scared! Scared! I just know that I’m gonna get devoured and killed soon by a demon! My brains are gonna get sucked through my ears while I’m still alive! No!! No!! Please save me!! Tanjirou What’s the matter? Are you okay? [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou and a calmer Zenitsu continue on their way.] Tanjirou How are you? Zenitsu Yeah. Now that I’m calmer, I’m getting hungry. Tanjirou Don’t you have any food on you? Zenitsu Nope. [Action: Tanjirou pulls out a rice ball and offers it to Zenitsu.] Tanjirou Here, take this. Would you like to eat it? Zenitsu Oh, thanks. [Action: Zenitsu takes the rice ball and eats it.] Zenitsu Hm? You’re not eating, Tanjirou? Tanjirou No, since that’s all I’ve got. Zenitsu Ah… [Action: Zenitsu splits the rice ball and offers it to Tanjirou.] Zenitsu Here. Tanjirou Ah… Zenitsu You eat half. Tanjirou Huh? You sure? Thanks! [Action: Tanjirou takes his half of the rice ball and eats it.] Tanjirou Mm! [Action: Tanjirou and Zenitsu continue on.] Tanjirou I know what you mean when you say you’re scared of demons, but you can’t make trouble for your sparrow. Zenitsu Huh? Was it distressed? The sparrow? How can you tell? Tanjirou Well, he says that you’re always whining about not wanting to go to work, and you’re always hitting on girls, and that you snore so loud, he’s had it! So he says. Zenitsu He’s saying that?! You can understand bird language? Tanjirou Yeah. Zenitsu You’re lying, right?! You’re just trying to trick me!

That crow is talking! [Scene: Sometime later, in a forest. Tanjirou and Zenitsu head to their destination.] Zenitsu Hey, Tanjirou, on second thought, I’m not gonna make it. Even if I go along, I’m gonna be totally useless. Tanjirou (Thoughts) The demon scent is getting stronger little by little. There’s something up ahead. [Action: A mansion comes into view.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) What’s that? [Action: Tanjriou and Zenitsu stand in front of the Tsuzumi Mansion.] Tanjirou I can smell blood. But this particular scent… Zenitsu Huh? You smell something? Tanjirou Something I’ve never smelled before. Zenitsu I don’t know about that, but do you hear that sound? Also, are you and I gonna work together, after all? Tanjirou Sound? Ah… [Action: Tanjirou sees two children cowering under the trees.] Zenit <\|endoftext\|>

Shouichi, Teruko Ahh… [Action: Shouichi and Teruko fall to their knees.] Tanjirou Please tell me. Did something happen? Is this your house? Shouichi No. No, it’s not. This… This is… a m-monster’s… house. Our big brother got taken away. When we were walking down the road at night, this monster we’d never seen before showed up. It didn’t give us a glance, just our brother. Tanjirou And they went inside that house, right? Shouichi Yeah. Yeah… Tanjirou Did you two follow them here? You did well. Good job! Shouichi We followed the traces of his blood. Because he got hurt! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Hurt… Don’t worry! We’re going to defeat the bad guy and rescue your brother! Teruko Really? You really will? Tanjirou Yeah. For sure! Zenitsu Tanjirou… Tanjirou Huh? Zenitsu Hey, what is this sound? This creepy sound never stops. Is it a tsuzumi? Tanjirou Sound? I don’t hear any.

Tanjirou Ah… (Thoughts) I see. So it’s captured more than one person. [Action: Tanjirou lays the boy’s body down.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I promise to bury you when I return. Forgive me. Forgive me.

Tanjirou Zenitsu, I hate to put you on the spot, but… I’ve got a broken rib and leg from my previous battle. And neither are fully healed yet. So -- Zenitsu What?! What?! What do you mean, broken bones?! Don’t go breaking bones on me! If you’ve got fractures, you can’t possibly protect me! I-I-I’m gonna die! Ah! What am I gonna do?! What am I gonna do?! I’m gonna die now! Gonna die, gonna die, gonna die! Ahh!! Broken bones?! How could you?! I’m a dead man now! 99.9% dead! I’m dead! I’m dead! I’m dead! Tanjirou Zenitsu, quiet down!

I’m not gonna be of any use anyway! Shouichi Let me go! Zenitsu So I’m gonna summon a grownup here, okay?! Because this isn’t something us kids can resolve on our own!

Shouichi It’s just that… Well, you see… You’ve been sweating, gasping, and shivering so horribly. Zenitsu What about it?! Aren’t I doing the best I can here?! Shouichi Well, forgive me for saying so, but you’re making me nervous, too, so… Zenitsu Oh, no! Sorry about that!

[Action: The Tongue Demon crawls behind Zenitsu.] Shouichi Ahh… Zenitsu Huh? [Action: Zenitsu turns around slowly.] Tongue Oni Fufu… Hehe… A couple of kids. Probably most agreeable to the tongue. Zenitsu What did I tell you?! Shouichi Ahh… Zenitsu A demon showed up! You got it?! A demon showed up! [Scene: In the Tsuzumi Mansion. Zenitsu and Shouichi run frantically through the halls as the Tongue Demon chases them.] Zenitsu No~!! Go away!! Stay away from us! Stop that! Tongue Oni Fufu… Zenitsu W-W-We don’t taste good!

[Action: Zenitsu, still asleep, stands up.] Shouichi Ahh… Tongue Oni Urgh… Ngh… [Action: Zenitsu prepares to draw his sword. He exhales deeply.] Tongue Oni (Thoughts) Wh-What’s this sound? This guy… He’s giving off a different vibe! Shouichi Zenitsu? Zenitsu Thunder Breathing, First Form. Thunderclap Flash. [Action: Zenitsu launches toward the Tongue Demon.] Tongue Oni Ahh…! [Action: In an instant, Zenitsu beheads the Tongue Demon.] Shouichi Ah… [Action: Zenitsu immediately wakes up.] Zenitsu Gah! Huh? [Action: The Tongue Demon’s head rolls by Zenitsu’s foot.] Zenitsu Ahhhh!! He’s dead! He died all of a sudden! What the hell?! I can’t take this anymore! What is this?! What the?! Yuck!

[Action: A hand reaches out toward Inosuke from around a corner.] Inosuke Ngh… [Action: Inosuke jumps back.] Inosuke Ugh! Huh? Horned Oni You dodged me, huh? You seem to be a pretty fresh human.

That way… [Action: Kyougai’s eye is revealed.] Kyougai … I can reclaim my place among the Twelve Kizuki! [Scene: In the past. Kyougai struggles to eat a human as Kibutsuji approaches him.] Kibutsuji (Flashback) Kyougai. Kyougai (Flashback) Ahh… Kibutsuji (Flashback) You can’t eat any more? Is that all you’ve got? Kyougai (Flashback) No. No, I’m not done! [Action: An x-shaped wound is slashed across Kyougai’s eye.] Kyougai (Flashback) Ahh! (Flashback) P-Please give me more time! J-Just a little! Kibutsuji (Flashback) I’ve had enough. I’m stripping you of your number. That’s your limit, and you’ve reached it. Kyougai (Narration) The more humans you consume, the stronger you can become. And once he saw my potential, Lord Kibutsuji was willing to share his blood with me. (Narration) The power of that man’s blood was mind-boggling. I was sure that I’d grow infinitely stronger than ever before, be welcomed into the ranks of the Twelve Kizuki, continue to gorge myself on humans, and become even more powerful! Or so I believed! (Narration) Or so I believed… [Scene: In the present, in the mansion.] Teruko Ah… Kiyoshi! Kiyoshi Ah… Ah! Teruko Brother! Brother! [Action: Teruko runs up to Kiyoshi.] Kiyoshi Teruko! Teruko Ah… Kiyoshi Wh-Who’s he? Tanjirou I’m Tanjiro Kamado. I’ve come to defeat the evil demons. Kiyoshi Ah… Tanjirou Now then, show me your wounds. Good job for hanging in there on your own.

Tanjirou Do you think you can tell me what happened here? Kiyoshi Ah… Ngh… A monster dragged me away, a-and I nearly got eaten. But just then, another monster showed up out of nowhere, a-and they started fighting to the death… It was over… who was gonna get to e-eat me. A-And then, the one with the drum growing out of him… When the other monster defeated him, he dropped a drum! And when I picked it up and struck it, the room suddenly changed. I somehow held on until now! Tanjirou Ah… A demon with drums growing out of him… So that was him? He mentioned “rare blood” or something like that. Kiyoshi Ah… That’s right! He kept saying I had rare blood! [Action: Tanjirou’s kasugai crow cries.] Crow Caw! Rare blood! That’s what they call those who carry delicate blood! Teruko Ahh! Kiyoshi Ah! Crow Hahaha! You little brats! I’m going to peck you now. Tanjirou Cut it out! What do you mean by “delicate blood”? Crow The blood of all living species can be categorized into types, moron! And the ultimate rare blood… the less common the blood is… for a demon! A single human with rare blood has the same nutritional value as eating fifty, one hundred humans! Tanjirou Ah… Crow For demons, humans with rare blood are a feast! Rare blood is their favorite food. Kiyoshi, Teruko Ngh… [Action: Tanjirou sniffs the air.] Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Kyougai stomps down the hall.] Kyougai Rare blood… Rare blood… Tanjirou Ngh… I’m leaving this room now. Kiyoshi Huh? Tanjirou Keep calm. It’s all right. I’m just going to take down that demon. Kiyoshi Ah… Tanjirou Listen to me, Teruko. Teruko Ah… Tanjirou Your brother is terribly exhausted right now. Make sure to look after him, okay? Teruko Ahh… Tanjirou As soon as I leave the room, strike that drum and move out. Just like Kiyoshi has been doing until now, whenever someone tries to open the door or you hear something, strike that drum right away and make a run for it. I promise to come pick you up. I’ll follow your scent. I’ll call out your names when I open the door. Kiyoshi, Teruko Ah… Tanjirou You just have to hold out a little longer. You can do it, right? [Action: Kiyoshi and Teruko nod.] Kiyoshi, Teruko Yeah… Tanjirou Good! You’re so strong! I’m heading out. [Action: From the other end of the room, Kyougai peeks out from around a corner. Tanjirou rushes toward him.] Tanjirou Strike it! [Action: Teruko beats the drum, and their room changes.] Kyougai Damn insects! So infuriating! [Action: Kyougai begins to strike his drum, making the room spin.] Tanjirou Ngh… Ugh… [Action: Tanjirou lands on the ceiling. Kyougai begins to attack and spin the room again.] Tanjirou Ah!

(Thoughts) And the drum on his belly launches that claw attack! [Action: Kyougai beats on different drums, sending Tanjirou in multiple directions, until Tanjirou is falling toward Kyougai. Kyougai beats on the middle drum, sending an attack at Tanjirou, but he dodges it.] Tanjirou Ngh! (Thoughts) Urgh… So fast! The speed of the rotations and attacks is devastating! (Thoughts) Miss Tamayo may have treated my wounds, but I haven’t fully recovered from my injuries yet! (Thoughts) Can I beat him? These injuries hurt so badly that I can hardly stand it! (Thoughts) All this time, I’ve just been enduring it! When I pulled Zenitsu off that girl and when I started out, I was enduring this horrendous pain! (Thoughts) I was able to withstand it because I’m the eldest son! But I couldn’t have if I were the second! Ngh… (Thoughts) Whenever I dig in, the broken parts creak, and I can’t muster any strength! [Action: Kyougai beats the middle drum.] Tanjirou Ah! [Action: Tanjirou dodges the attack.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) That demon’s attack is leaving scars that look like claw marks. It scares me so much that I can’t move in closer! (Thoughts) Since I’m not at full strength, if I charge forward to get within striking distance and stumble from the pain… I’ll get sliced into rings! [Action: Tanjirou jumps back further into the room.] Tanjirou Ngh… (Thoughts) My injuries are making me imagine the most awful things! (Thoughts) Master Urokodaki! Urokodaki (Flashback) Water can change into any form. (Flashback) Pour it into a container, and it’s a square. Pour it into a bottle, and it’s round. Sometimes, it can even smash boulders and flow away as far as the eye can see. Tanjirou (Thoughts) That’s right! That’s it! There are ten Water Breathing forms! (Thoughts) I can battle any kind of opponent! (Thoughts) If you’re hurt, use a move that will compensate for that! I can take on any form! And this flow will never be stopped! [Action: Kyougai beats his drum, flipping the room.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Right now, it’s not just my bones! My heart’s also been broken! Zenitsu (Imagination) What?!

You’ve got this! [Action: Tanjirou picks up his sword.] Tanjirou I’ve been doing great so far! I have what it takes!

Shouichi Um, Zenitsu, is it just me, or are we just going around and around in circles? Zenitsu I knew it! I was getting the same feeling! That’s my boy, Shouichi! I knew I could count on you! All right, could you check to see if this room is safe? Shouichi Ahh… Zenitsu What the heck?! All right, all right, just stop giving me that look! Fine, I’ll do it myself!

[Action: Tanjirou lets go of the lantern he was holding before the attack hits and falls down.] Tanjirou Ah! [Action: Tanjirou grabs onto the edge of the door.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Close call! I barely survived that one! Kyougai Damn! This is so annoying! I gotta consume some rare blood! [Action: Tanjirou flips himself up back into the room, but the room spins immediately, and he’s thrown to the floor again.] Tanjirou Ugh… Ah! (Thoughts) There isn’t even time to stop and think! [Action: Kyougai attacks Tanjirou again, but he dodges the attack.] Tanjirou Hey, you! What’s your name? Kyougai Ngh… Kyougai… Tanjirou Kyougai! I’m not handing over Kiyoshi… the human with rare blood to you! I’m not gonna cave! I’m not giving up! Kyougai Ngh… Man (Flashback) Just give it up, will you?

Some attacks rip through a closet, sending sheets of paper flying.] Kyougai Ngh… Grr… Grrr… [Scene: In the past. A man speaks down to Kyougai.] Man (Flashback) Just give it up, will you? (Flashback) It’s so boring! (Flashback) Your writing is just so boring. (Flashback) Every last word is utter trash! (Flashback) No beauty, no fragility, no impact. Why don’t you forget about writing? It’s just a waste of paper and fountain pens! (Flashback) You never even step outside anymore these days. No wonder you’re so boring! (Flashback) You should just enjoy your hobby, playing the tsuzumi, as long as you’re shut in here. (Flashback) Not that you have the skills to teach that, either!

[Action: Tanjirou dodges Kyougai’s attacks. He realizes that Kyougai’s writings are on the ground.] Tanjirou Ngh! Ah… Ah! [Action: Tanjirou lands carefully, making sure to avoid stepping on Kyougai’s writings.] Kyougai Ah… Tanjirou Ngh… (Thoughts) Got it. [Action: Kyougai sends more attacks toward Tanjirou, but he dodges.] Tanjirou Ngh… (Thoughts) Because I dodged his blows without stepping on the papers, I now know how to move my body without aggravating my wounds and how to breathe! [Action: Kyougai sends more attacks toward Tanjirou.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Take shallow breaths. Quickly! (Thoughts) Use that breathing technique to reinforce the muscles around your broken leg! (Thoughts) And right before the claw attack, there’s the scent of mold! [Action: Tanjirou sniffs the air.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Here it comes! The claw attack! (Thoughts) Above! Left! Right! Behind!

[Action: Tanjirou retrieves a blood sample from Kyougai’s body.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) It extracted the blood… So it really does extract blood automatically if you stick it in there. (Thoughts) That Yushirou sure is skilled, creating something like this. [Action: A cat meows behind Tanjirou.] Tanjirou Oh? Ah! A cat? Oh, so you’re the one who’s going to deliver this to Miss Tamayo, huh? There, there. Thanks! [Action: Tanjirou puts the blood sample in the cat’s pack.] Tanjirou Now you’re all set. All right, take care now! [Action: The cat runs forward a few steps and disappears.] Tanjirou Ahh… (Thoughts) I was told that under Yushirou’s spell, it would be invisible until it meowed, and then vanish again when it meowed a second time. So it’s true, huh? Ah! Where are those two? I gotta search for them! [Action: Tanjirou gets up to find Kiyoshi and Teruko.] Kyougai (Thoughts) My… writing… Man (Flashback) Your writing is just so boring. Every last word is utter trash! (Flashback) No beauty, no fragility, no impact. Kyougai (Thoughts) It wasn’t trash at all… At the very least, not to that kid. He saw no fit to trample on it. Tanjirou Rest in peace.

The tsuzumi vanished, so we panicked. Tanjirou I see… Well, I’m glad you’re safe. [Action: Teruko breaks down in tears. Tanjirou pats her head] Teruko Ngh… Wahhh~! Ngh… Mmm… Tanjirou You did a good job hanging in there. You, too, Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi Yeah. Tanjirou Come on, let’s head outside. Climb onto my back. [Action: Tanjirou, Kiyoshi, and Teruko walk out into the hallway toward the exit.] Tanjirou Is your leg okay? Kiyoshi Yes! Tanjirou You just have to be brave a little longer.

Inosuke Take this! Zenitsu Ngh! Inosuke Draw your sword and fight me! You spineless punk! Tanjirou Ahh… Shouichi Ngh… Zenitsu Tanjirou… I protected it. Because you said… this was more important to you than your life. [Scene: Sometime earlier, after Zenitsu and Shouichi are ejected from the mansion. Zenitsu lies on the ground, unconscious.] Zenitsu (Narration) The thing is… I’ve always had really good hearing. (Narration) One time, I knew what people said while I was asleep, and that creeped everyone out. (Thoughts) I’m not hearing any more demon sounds… Tanjirou, you defeated that demon, didn’t you? (Thoughts) I can hear you guys, but also these weird-sounding, loud footsteps. Shouichi … itsu! Zenitsu! Zenitsu! [Action: Zenitsu wakes up.] Zenitsu Ah… Ahh… Shouichi Ahh, thank goodness! Are you all right? Zenitsu Ah… Shouichi When the room spun around, we got thrown outside. We fell from the second-story window. Zenitsu Ah… Did we now? Shouichi Yeah. You were protecting me, so I’m totally fine, but… Zenitsu I’m glad to hear that. So, tell me, why all the tears? [Action: Zenitsu sees a bunch of blood on his hand.] Zenitsu Hm? Now I get it!! I fell right onto my head, didn’t I?! Shouichi Yes… Zenitsu Am I gonna… Am I gonna die?! Ah, my head is starting to spin. Inosuke Hahahaha! Shouichi Erk… Zenitsu What’s this? What’s this? What’s this? Inosuke Comin’ through! Comin’ through! [Action: Inosuke charges through the front door of the mansion.] Zenitsu Ahhh!! There it is again! The monster boar! Inosuke Hahahaha! I’m getting a demonic vibe. Zenitsu Ah, it’s him! I was able to tell from his voice! He’s the fifth survivor! During the Final Selection, he was the first to rush up the mountain, and then he came down from the mountain before anyone else! Mr. Impatient! [Action: Inosuke sees Nezuko’s box.] Inosuke Hahahaha! Hey, found it! [Action: Inosuke runs toward Nezuko’s box with his swords drawn.] Inosuke Urah! Zenitsu Cut it out! [Action: Zenitsu shields Nezuko’s box.] Inosuke Ah… Who the hell are you? Get out of the way! Zenitsu I’m Zenitsu Agatsuma! I’m with the Demon Slayer Corps like you! Inosuke Huh? Demon Slayer Corps? Then I shouldn’t have to tell you! We gotta get rid of that thing! Not get the hell out of my way! Zenitsu I’m not moving! This is Tanjirou’s -- Inosuke Don’t argue with me! In that case, I’m gonna demolish him and the box together! [Action: Inosuke points his sword at Zenitsu’s neck.] Inosuke I said move it! Zenitsu Ngh… Inosuke Why, you… Zenitsu Inside this box… Inside this box is something I’m not letting you touch! It’s something precious to Tanjirou! Inosuke Oh, hey, come on! What are you talking about? There’s a demon inside that box! Don’t you get that?!

(Thoughts) I knew he was travelling with a demon. Because the sounds demons manke aren’t anything like human sounds. (Thoughts) But… I can pick up a sound so gentle and kind from Tanjirou that it makes me want to cry. So kind, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything like it before. (Thoughts) All living creatures constantly give off sounds. The world is full of all these sounds spilling out. (Thoughts) Breathing, heartbeats, the sound of blood circulating… By listening closely, I could tell what someone was thinking. (Thoughts) But I’ve been deceived by others time and time again. I’ve always believed in whomever I wanted to believe in. (Thoughts) Tanjirou, despite being a Demon Slayer, is travelling with a demon. But I’m sure he has a reason for that. (Thoughts) And that it’s a reason I can accept! I believe that! I… Inosuke Huh? Zenitsu … I’m going to ask Tanjirou directly myself! So you… can just back off! [Action: Inosuke kicks Zenitsu multiple times.] Inosuke Ngh! Zenitsu Ugh! Inosuke Ngh! Zenitsu Gah! Inosuke Grr! Zenitsu Gah! [Action: Zenitsu is knocked to the ground. Inosuke turns to Nezuko’s box, but before he can destroy it, Zenitsu tackles him.] Inosuke Grr… Gah! Zenitsu Ngh! Inosuke Let go of me, dammit! Urah! [Action: Inosuke throws Zenitsu to the side.] Zenitsu Ugh… Inosuke You’re so annoying! Ngh… Gah! [Action: Inosuke lunges for Nezuko’s box, but Zenitsu grabs his leg and he falls to the ground.] Zenitsu You’re not laying a finger on that! Inosuke Urah! [Action: Inosuke kicks Zenitsu, but Zenitsu continues to stop him.] Zenitsu Ngh… That’s something… precious to Tanjirou! [Action: Zenitsu throws Inosuke aside.] Inosuke Gah! [Action: Zenitsu holds onto Nezuko’s box.] Zenitsu Ugh… Ngh… You’re not touching it until he gets back! Inosuke Damn you… Ngh… Take this! [Action: Inosuke begins kicking Zenitsu. Zenitsu bleeds.] Zenitsu Gah… Inosuke Urah! Zenitsu Ugh! Inosuke Ngh! Zenitsu Gah… Inosuke Grr! Zenitsu Ngh… [Action: Inosuke draws his swords.] Inosuke Move it! Zenitsu I won’t!

Inosuke Draw your sword and fight me! You spineless punk! Tanjirou Ahh… Shouichi Ngh… Zenitsu Tanjirou… I protected it. Because you said… this was more important to you… than your life.

Zenitsu Gah… Tanjirou Ah! Inosuke If you’re not gonna fight, get the hell out of my way! [Action: Inosuke continues stomping on Zenitsu.] Inosuke Take that! Zenitsu Ngh! Inosuke Ngh!

Tanjirou Aren’t you a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?! Don’t you get why Zenitsu refuses to draw his sword? It’s because it’s taboo for us to draw our swords on each other for no reason! But here you are, giving him a one-sided beatdown! Is that fun for you?! You’re the lowest of the low! [Action: Inosuke coughs before chuckling.] Inosuke Hahaha… Hahahaha… Oh, so that’s why? My bad. In that case, let’s fight barehanded. Tanjirou No! I don’t think you get it at all! First… Inosuke Urgh… Urahh!

I’m not doing that! I’m not helping out! Forget that! Fight me! Zenitsu (Thoughts) Man, he really is a loon. What does he mean, what’s the point? Tanjirou I see. You can’t do it because your wounds are hurting you. Inosuke What? Zenitsu (Thoughts) Those two are beyond help! They’re both crazy! Tanjirou No, that’s okay.

Tanjirou We’re descending the mountain. Inosuke We’re not done with our battle yet! Tanjirou You’re tired, aren’t you? Come on, we’re heading down. Inosuke What?! I’m not tired! Let’s fight! [Scene: At the base of the mountain. Tanjirou and Zenitsu prepare to split from Kiyoshi, Shouichi, and Teruko. Zenitsu clings to Shouichi.] Zenitsu I won’t have it! I won’t have it, I won’t have it! You can’t go, Shouichi! You’re powerful, Shouichi! Shouichi is the one who’s gonna protect me! Tanjirou Can’t you see Shouichi doesn’t want to stay?! Zenitsu Please don’t leave me behind! Tanjirou You stop that right now! [Action: Tanjirou chops Zenitsu’s neck with his hand.] Zenitsu Ah!

It’s a monster! Tanjirou Hey, you! Inosuke Who the hell are you?! Tanjirou Gah…! Hisa I see you’re a demon hunter. Inosuke You look pretty weak! Tanjirou Hey!! Hisa Come in. [Action: Tanjirou, Zenitsu, and Inosuke follow Hisa into the property grounds.] Zenitsu That old lady sure walks fast! Hisa This is where you’ll be staying. [Action: Hisa leads the trio into the manor.] Hisa A change of clothes. And here is your meal. Zenitsu She has to be a monster, Tanjirou! That old lady’s a monster! She’s so quick, it’s eerie! She’s a monster! A monster hag -- [Action: Tanjirou smacks Zenitsu on the back of the head. The trio sits down for dinner.

Zenitsu If you’re gonna be like that, we’re not eating with you anymore. Inosuke Huh? What’s up with that? Zenitsu Meals always taste better when you eat together, you know. Tanjirou He’s right about that. Inosuke Did you guys hurt your heads or something? Zenitsu Who are you to talk?! Hisa Is there something I can help you with? Zenitsu Ah! Monster! Tanjirou Hey! [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou, Zenitsu, and Inosuke lie in bed.] Tanjirou According to the crow, this house with the wisteria family crest belongs to a family that was once rescued by demon hunters. That’s why they take care of people for free if they’re demon hunters. That’s what I was told, but I never thought they’d show us this much hospitality. Inosuke Just how great is the Demon Slayers Corps? Tanjirou Now that you mention it, Inosuke, why did you join the Corps? Inosuke Huh? Zenitsu You had some kind of reason, didn’t you? Inosuke A member of the Demon Slayers Corps barged in on me on my mountain, so we competed to see who was stronger, and I seized his sword. Tanjirou, Zenitsu Ahh… Zenitsu (Thoughts) What an unfortunate soul. Inosuke And then, I heard there was something called the “Final Selection”, and the fact that demons do exist. Tanjirou So that’s why you joined the Demon Slayer Corps? And hey, so you and I both grew up in the mountains, huh? Inosuke Don’t lump me in with you! I don’t have any parents or siblings! Testing my strength against other living creatures is my only pleasure! Tanjirou Is that right? Is that right? [Action: Zenitsu sits up.] Zenitsu Ngh… Tanjirou, no one else is asking, so I’m gonna ask myself. Why are you travelling with a demon? Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Tanjirou sits up.] Tanjirou Zenitsu… You knew about that and still protected the box, huh? You really are a great guy, you know that? Thanks! Zenitsu You…! You really shouldn’t heap so much praise on me! Fufufufu! Tanjirou I’ve got a keen sense of smell. I knew it from the start. How kind you are, Zenitsu… and how strong… Zenitsu No, I’m not strong. Don’t give me that. I haven’t forgiven you for stopping me from bringing Shouichi along. Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Nezuko begins pounding on her box.] Zenitsu Ah! Ah! Huh?! It’s trying to come out!

Zenitsu Demon Slayer Corps is not something you’d join for fun! Guys like you gotta be purged! Immediately!

Tanjirou Well, yeah, now that you mention it, it’s kind of difficult to explain. “With great pride”… I guess it means that you know your place and that you behave properly so that you’re never ashamed of yourself.
