<\|startoftext\|> [Story ID: Demon Slayer][Part: 277 of 341] Tokitou continues to breathe in the air, a vision of Tokitou’s father appears.] Father (Thoughts) And humans are creatures who can summon unbelievable strength for the sake of someone other than themselves… Muichirou. Tokitou (Thoughts) Yes, I know. (Thoughts) Mist Breathing, Second Form… Eight-Layered Mist! [Action: Tokitou successfully cuts through the water prison and falls to the ground.] Tokitou Ugh! (Thoughts) I remember now, Tanjirou. (Thoughts) My father had the same red eyes as you! Character List: Muichirou Tokitou (Tokitou) / young Tokitou (Y.Tokitou), Yuuichirou Tokitou, Kouzou Kanamori, Kotetsu, Tetsuido, Tokitou’s father (Father), Tokitou’s mother (Mother), Gyokko, demon [Scene: In the forest surrounding the Swordsmith Village. Tokitou breaks out of Gyokko’s water prison and coughs violently. After catching his breath, he begins taking out the poison needles.] Tokitou Ngh! [Action: Tokitou’s hands shake.] Tokitou (Thoughts) The numbness is so severe… These needles… (Thoughts) I may have escaped the water pot, but I’m not… [Action: Tokitou takes out more of the poison needles and sees Kotetsu on the ground.] Tokitou K-Kotetsu… [Action: Smaller demons begin approaching Kotetsu’s body.] Demons Grr… Grr, grr… Grrr… Tokitou Ngh… (Thoughts) My strength… is sapped. Demons Urah! [Action: The demons jump toward Kotetsu.] Tokitou (Thoughts) There’s nothing… I can do… Father (Flashback) I know you can do it, Muichirou. Now, on your feet! Tokitou (Thoughts) Father… [Scene: In the past, in a forest. A young Tokitou struggles to stand up with a load of sticks on his back.] Y.Tokitou Ngh… Tokitou (Narration) That’s right. My father was a woodcutter. And as his son, I would help him cut down trees. [Action: Tokitou’s father cuts down a tree.] Father Phew… Tokitou (Narration) I… Father Hm? Haha… Tokitou (Narration) I… liked helping my father work. [Scene: At night, at Tokitou’s home. Tokitou’s mother coughs violently.] Tokitou Mother, are you all right? Father’s out getting you herbs right now. Mother! [Action: Tokitou’s mother breathes heavily. Tokitou takes the towel from her forehead and feels her fever.] Tokitou (Thoughts) She’s burning up. [Action: Tokitou rinses the towel and puts it back on her head. He gets up.] Tokitou Ngh… Here, take my blanket. How’s that, Mother? Mother I’m cold… Tokitou Ah… Ngh… [Action: Tokitou lies down with his mother.] Tokitou Father will be back soon, all right? [Scene: In the forest. Tokitou’s father trudges through the rain.] Father Ah… [Action: Tokitou’s father sees the herbs he needs.] Father Ah… Ngh… [Action: Tokitou’s father reaches out for the herbs, but they’re just out of reach.] Father Ngh… Ugh… Ngh… Ah! [Action: Tokitou’s father slips and falls.] Tokitou (Narration) That day, I lost both my mother and father… people dear to me, at once. [Scene: A new day. Tokitou stands before his parents’ graves.] Tokitou (Narration) My parents died when I was ten. I found myself alone at ten. Yuuichirou Muichirou? Y.Tokitou Ah… Tokitou (Narration) No, that’s not right. I was 11 when I found myself alone. (Narration) I… had a twin. (Narration) My brother’s name was Yuuichirou. [Scene: In the forest. Tokitou and Yuuichirou gather wood.] Yuuichirou Compassion does no good for anyone. Doing something for others won’t get you anywhere. Y.Tokitou You’re wrong. Whatever you do for others comes around to help you, as well, in the end. That’s what Father said. Yuuichirou You can’t trust the word of a man who died trying to help someone else. Y.Tokitou Why would you say that? It was for Mother’s sake -- Yuuichirou As if some herbs would’ve healed her in that state. It’s beyond stupid. Y.Tokitou That’s an awful thing to say, Brother! Yuuichirou If he hadn’t gone out in the middle of a storm, we would’ve only lost Mother. Y.Tokitou Don’t say things like that! That’s going too far! Yuuichirou I’m only telling you how it is. Don’t yell. It’s too noisy. You might attract some boars. The “mu” <\|endoftext\|>

Don’t yell. It’s too noisy. You might attract some boars. The “mu” in Muichirou means “incompetence”. This conversation is meaningless. You can’t change the past. The “mu” in Muichirou means “meaningless”. Y.Tokitou Ngh… Tokitou (Narration) My brother always spoke harshly. I have a feeling that, in a way, I was like him when I had amnesia. (Narration) My life with my brother was stifling. I was sure that he despised me, and I thought he was a cold person. (Narration) The seasons changed… and it was spring. [Scene: The next spring, at Tokitou’s home. Yuuichirou puts the firewood away. Tokitou prepares to get water.] Y.Tokitou I’m going to go fetch some water, okay? Yuuichirou You still haven’t gotten around to it? Y.Tokitou Mm… [Action: Tokitou heads out to the river and gets water.] Y.Tokitou Ah… [Action: Amane appears and bows from across the river.] Tokitou (Narration) She was so beautiful that at first, I thought she was a white birch spirit. [Scene: At Tokitou’s house. Tokitou meets with Amane.] Tokitou (Narration) This person was the Master’s wife, and she had travelled this far up the mountain to visit us. But… Yuuichirou Tsk… [Action: Yuuichirou kicks Amane out of the house.] Tokitou (Narration) … in the end, my brother just spewed his usual insults and drove Lady Amane away. [Scene: Sometime later. Tokitou gushes about Amane’s visit as Yuuichiou prepares dinner.] Y.Tokitou Can you believe it? She says we’re descended from swordsmen! Descendants of an amazing swordsman who used something called “First Breathing” no less! Yuuichirou What do I care? Wash the rice already. Y.Tokitou Listen! Let’s become swordsmen! I can’t believe that demons actually exist in this world, but if we can do something to help… Come on! Let’s save the people who are suffering because of those demons! I bet you and I can -- [Action: Yuuichirou slams his knife on the cutting board.] Y.Tokitou Ah… Yuuichirou What the hell do you think you can do?! Someone who can’t even cook rice on his own becoming a swordsman?! Save others?! Give me a break, will you?! Seriously, you’re exactly like Father and Mother, aren’t you?! You’re too optimistic! How does your mind even work?! Just like Mother, who worked without telling us she was unwell until she collapsed! Just like Father, who went out in a storm to find herbs! After all… After all I did to try to stop him! After I begged Mother to rest over and over! You know who can help others? Only the chosen ones! Our ancestors may have been swordsmen, but what can kids like us to?! Want me to tell you what it is we can do? What you and I can do is die like dogs and die in vain! Because we’re Father and Mother’s children! We’re only going to be used by that woman! There’s no way she’s not plotting something! We’re never gonna talk about this again! Got that?! Now hurry up and get dinner ready! Tokitou (Narration) After that, we stopped talking to each other. (Narration) Except for the one time we fought when my brother hurled water at Lady Amane, who continued to visit us. <\|endoftext\|>

[Action: Tokitou falls backward with a log. Yuuichirou moves a log by himself. Tokitou gets back up and moves the log.] Y.Tokitou Ngh… Ngh… Ugh… Urgh… Tokitou (Narration) Then, summer came. It was hot that summer, and my brother and I were always irritable. [Scene: At night, in the summer. Yuuichirou and Tokitou sleep with the door open.] Tokitou (Narration) It was hot even at night, and the cicadas were singing. [Action: Tokitou rolls over in his sleep.] Y.Tokitou Ngh… Ngh… Haa… [Action: Tokitou wakes up.] Y.Tokitou Ngh… [Action: Tokitou gets up and drinks some water.] Tokitou Haa… [Action: Tokitou turns to look at Yuuichirou. Yuuichirou wakes up.] Yuuichirou Ah… [Action: A demon appears in the house.] Y.Tokitou Ah! Demon Oh, hell… Just a couple of brats? Tsk… Well, whatever. Yuuichirou Muichirou! [Action: The demon slashes at Tokitou, but Yuuichirou jumps in the way. His arm is cut off.] Yuuichirou Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts! Y.Tokitou Brother! Brother! Yuuichirou Ahh! Demon Hehehe… [Action: Tokitou drags Yuuichirou toward the back of the home.] Y.Tokitou Eek… Yuuichirou Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Demon Shut up. Shut up! [Action: The demon walks toward Tokitou and Yuuichirou.] Demon Not a sound. A couple of poor woodcutters like you are totally useless anyway. It doesn’t matter whether you exist or not. Your lives are that worthless! Tokitou (Narration) At that moment, all I could see was red. (Narration) It was a violent rage I’d never felt before that seemed to be boiling over from the pit of my stomach. (Narration) I really don’t remember what happened next. A monstrous roar I couldn’t believe… Y.Tokitou Urahhh! Tokitou (Narration) … was coming from my own throat, from my own mouth. [Scene: Sometime later. Tokitou wakes up from his stupor.] Y.Tokitou Ah… [Action: Tokitou finds the demon on the ground in front of him, its legs torn off, body pierced with multiple stakes, and head crushed by a large boulder.] Demon Ahh… Tokitou (Narration) The next thing I knew, the demon was on the brink of death. But apparently, it couldn’t die even with its head smashed in, so it was suffering. Demon Urgh… Ugh… Ugh… Ahhh! [Action: The sun rises, and the demon begins to disintegrate.] Demon Ahhh! [Action: Tokitou drops his hatchet and turns back toward the house.] Tokitou (Narration) Soon after, the sun came up, and the demon turned to dust and vanished. But I truly couldn’t care less about that. Y.Tokitou Ahh… [Action: Tokitou trips and falls.] Tokitou (Narration) All I wanted was to go to Yuuichirou, but suddenly, my body was as heavy as lead. It took me what felt like ages just to reach the house in front of me. [Action: Tokitou crawls to the doorway.] Y.Tokitou Ugh… Ngh… Ugh… [Action: Yuuichirou lies on Tokitou’s bed on the verge of death.] Yuuichirou Please… I beg of you… Y.Tokitou Brother… Are you alive? Brother! [Action: Tokitou stumbles toward his bed but falls.] Y.Tokitou Gah… Ngh <\|endoftext\|>

He’s a kindhearted kid. He says he wants to help others… but I got in his way. I’m… the only one… to blame. If you’re going to punish anyone, then… let it be only me. I’ve always known… The truth is… the “mu” in Muichirou… Y.Tokitou Ngh… Ugh… [Action: Tokitou grabs his brother’s hand.] [Scene: In the present. Tokitou wakes up. His Demon Slayer mark appears on his face.] Tokitou Ngh… Yuuichirou (Flashback) … means “infinity”. Tokitou (Thoughts) Mist Breathing, Fourth Form… Demons Grr… [Action: Tokitou slices through the demons in one attack.] Tokitou (Thoughts) Shifting Flow Slash! [Action: Kotetsu coughs.] Tokitou Kotetsu! Kotetsu Mr. Tokitou… Don’t worry about me. Save… Mr. Haganezuka! Protect… the swords! Tokitou Right. [Scene: In the shed. Gyokko grits his teeth as Haganezuka continues to work on the sword with unmatched focus.] Gyokko Grrr! (Thoughts) Damn him! Damn him! This man! This human! (Thoughts) He still won’t stop honing after all I’ve done to him! (Thoughts) Even when I destroyed his eye, he kept honing without so much as crying out! Kanamori Ngh… Ugh… Gyokko (Thoughts) I know! If I tell him I’m going to kill that one… [Action: Tokitou slashes at Gyokko.] Gyokko Ngh! [Action: Gyokko disappears into his pot and teleports.] Gyokko (Thoughts) He escaped the Water Prison Pot! How on earth… I have no idea! I thought his death was imminent, so my mind wasn’t on him at all! (Thoughts) No, wait a second. On the other hand, that shows how focused I was! Yes! (Thoughts) Hm? Hold on, hold on, hold on! What is that mark? (Thoughts) According to the information Lord Muzan gave me, that child with the earrings also has a similar mark… No, never mind that! How can you stand there looking so nonchalant? My attack should’ve paralyzed your body! (Thoughts) How were you able to summon even greater speed to wound me?! [Action: Tokitou launches forward.] Gyokko Octopus Vase Hell! [Action: Octopus tentacles appear from Gyokko’s pot, breaking a sword.] Kanamori Lord Tokitou! Gah! [Action: The octopus tentacles hit Kanamori and explode from the house. Haganezuka is knocked to the side.] Gyokko Hyo, hyo! How do you like how springy this octopus flesh is? Surely you can’t slash this! [Action: Haganezuka gets up, rights his grinding block, and continues to polish the sword.] Gyokko (Thoughts) Still honing that sword. Is he a fool? He’s not in his right mind. (Thoughts) But that’s sublime in its own way! That swordsmith can wait! First, the Hashira! I wasn’t really trying earlier. This time, I’m going to crush him for sure, then absorb him! [Action: Tokitou cuts through the tentacles.] Gyokko Wha?! Tokitou You made this sword for me… Thank you, Mr. Kanamori. Kanamori N-No! All I did was… follow the instructions of your first swordsmith! Tokitou That’s right. It was Mr. Tetsuido who forged my fir <\|endoftext\|>

Tokitou That’s right. It was Mr. Tetsuido who forged my first sword for me. He passed away from heart disease. Gyokko (Thoughts) Hmph! No matter how many times you replace your sword, it won’t change a thing! [Action: Tokitou raises his sword.] Tokitou Ahh… It fits like a glove. Tetsuido (Flashback) I worry about you, boy. Who will ever understand what you’re going through, how you have no time for anything else, how you’re barely getting by and have no breathing room, how anxious you are because you can’t remember anything, and how you strive so hard that you vomit blood? Who will ever understand all that? (Flashback) Whenever I see the swords you’ve used, it brings tears to my eyes. (Flashback) I won’t be around much longer. Not that I want to cling to life at my age, but I just can’t stop worrying about you. Tokitou (Thoughts) Mr. Tetsuido, I’m sorry. I know I made you worry. But I’m… all right now. [Action: Gyokko releases an attack. Tokitou charges forward.] Tokitou (Thoughts) Mist Breathing, Fifth Form… Sea of Clouds and Haze! [Action: Tokitou slashes at Gyokko’s neck, but Gyokko disappears into his pot again. He teleports into a tree.] Gyokko Well, that was some rapid-fire chopping, but you don’t seem to be able to keep up with my vase’s speed! Tokitou Are you sure about that? Gyokko What? Tokitou It looks like your senses have totally dulled. It’s because you’ve lived for hundreds of years. [Action: A cut appears on Gyokko’s neck.] Gyokko Ah! Tokitou I’m going to slash you next time. I have better things to do than play your stupid vase game all day. Gyokko Heh… Don’t underestimate me, you brat! [Action: Gyokko teleports behind Tokitou and unleashes an attack.] Tokitou Ah… Gyokko Urah! [Action: Tokitou dodges the attack.] Yuuichirou (Flashback) Muichirou… Sorry I couldn’t be more gentle with you. [Action: Goldfish demons spit needles toward Tokitou.] Demons Urahh! Yuuichirou (Flashback) I just could never… afford to be that way. [Action: Tokitou dodges the attack.] Yuuichirou (Flashback) Being kind to others… is one more thing that only the chosen ones can do. Gyokko Urah! [Action: Gyokko launches another attack.] Yuuichirou (Flashback) But, Muichirou… no matter how virtuous a life you may lead, neither the gods nor Buddha will protect you in the end. That’s why I thought I had to protect you. (Flashback) Muichirou… You’re not like me. (Flashback) For the sake of someone other than yourself, you can exert infinite strength. [Action: Tokitou cuts through Gyokko’s octopus vase attack.] Yuuichirou (Flashback) You’re one of the chosen ones.

Tokitou prepares to fight Gyokko.] Tokitou Hey, it’s not like I’m underestimating you. I’m just stating a fact. You’re only going to get beheaded by me and die anyway. I mean, for some reason, I’m really in the zone right now… I wonder why. Gyokko The way you’re speaking to me is disrespectful, you miserable brat! After only having lived for ten years or so! [Action: Gyokko disappears in his pot and emerges from the ground behind Tokitou.] Tokitou Even if that’s true, there isn’t one thing about you that I can respect. The way you look and the way you talk are both totally creepy. Gyokko You can’t appreciate my beauty, my grace, nor my elegance because you’re uneducated and poor! Just like a dung beetle can’t read even if you show it a book! Tokitou I don’t know, you seem more likely to be living in dung. Gyokko Shut up, dung beetle! Look at you with your short limbs and undersized blade! You can’t even reach my neck! Tokitou No, didn’t I just reach it with a vengeance? And in the first place, your limbs are shorter… Oh, wait. Were you just thinking out loud about yourself? Sorry to interrupt. Gyokko Hyo, hyo! My, what a cheap insult. Did you think that was enough to fluster me? I can see that you’ll do anything to win! Not a pretty sight! Tokitou Hmm… Hmm… Gyokko Hyo, hyo! What is it? Tokitou It’s really bugging me. Isn’t that vase of yours kind of misshapen? It doesn’t look symmetrical. What a piece of crap. Gyokko That’s because your eyeballs are rotten, dammit!! My vase! How the hell is it misshapen?! [Action: Gyokko releases an attack of slime fish.] Gyokko Blood Demon Art… Ten Thousand Gliding Slime Fish! [Action: Tokitou dodges the attack.] Gyokko These 10,000 assassins will pick you to the bone! And I’ll make you part of one of my works! Tokitou (Thoughts) Mist Breathing… [Action: Tokitou launches forward and slices through Gyokko’s attack.] Tokitou (Thoughts) Sixth Form… Lunar Dispersing Mist. Gyokko (Thoughts) H-He slashed them all?! (Thoughts) That speed and that attack range! What happened to my poison?! (Thoughts) Unexpected! But even so, no harm, no foul! (Thoughts) Those fish will disperse poison before they turn to dust after being slashed by that Nichirin sword! (Thoughts) Transdermal poison, no less! So it can also be absorbed through the skin! (Thoughts) Get hit with that, and you’re done! Tokitou (Thoughts) Mist Breathing, Third Form, Scattering Mist Splash! [Action: Tokitou slashes the air, dispelling the fish away from him.] Gyokko (Thoughts) What the hell?! That one swing blasted them all away! [Action: Tokitou launches forward.] Gyokko Ah! [Action: Tokitou slashes Gyokko’s neck, but only his skin.] Tokitou (Thoughts) You can shed your skin, too? Oh, what a pain in the butt. Would you mind not dodging and racing up trees?

[Action: Gyokko appears in a tree in his true form.] Gyokko Hyo, hyo, hyo! Allow me to show you my true form! Tokitou Sure. Gyokko Heh… You’re just the third person to see me in this state. Tokitou So a lot of us, huh? Gyokko Shut up! No one has ever lived to tell the tale after I’ve started taking it seriously! Tokitou That’s amazing. Gyokko Shut your mouth, you dim-witted brat! These translucent scales are even harder and stronger than diamonds! I kneaded them myself inside my vase! Behold, my perfect beauty… and bow down in awe! [Action: Tokitou stares blankly at Gyokko.] Gyokko Heh… Ahh… Why don’t you say something, you useless puppet?! You really know how to rub someone the wrong way, brat! Tokitou But you just told me to shut my mouth. Not to mention… it didn’t really surprise me. [Action: Gyokko launches toward Tokitou and attacks. Tokitou dodges easily and stops in a tree. Part of his uniform turns into fish.] Gyokko Hyo, hyo, hyo! Didn’t you just tell me not to race up trees? What a hassle! Tokitou No, that was just because it stunk. I thought my nose was going to fall off. Gyokko What do you think of my godlike power? Everything I touch with my fist turns into lovely fresh fish! And this speed! The flexible yet tough springs of my body! Not only that, but these rippling scales allow me to move without restraint! Free as a bird! You’re trembling, huh? Are you terrified? I still wasn’t serious when I launched that attack just now! Huh? Tokitou Even the most jaw-dropping attack is pointless if you can’t land it, right? (Thoughts) Remember… that boiling fury. (Thoughts) I watched as maggots infested my beloved brother’s body, and he began to rot. (Thoughts) Then, the maggots started on me, as well, and I found myself on the brink of death. [Scene: In the past. Amane finds Tokitou on the brink of death.] Amane (Flashback) Boil some water right away! Apply some clean cloths to the wounds! Nichika (Flashback) Yes! Y.Tokitou (Flashback) Ngh… Amane (Flashback) How’s he doing? Hinaki (Flashback) He’s already passed away. Amane (Flashback) Don’t let the other one die, no matter what! Hinaki (Flashback) Yes! Y.Tokitou (Flashback) Ahh… Brother… Nichika (Flashback) Ahh… Amane (Flashback) Mm… (Flashback) Ngh… [Action: Amane grabs Tokitou and Yuuichirou’s hands.] Tokitou (Thoughts) If they hadn’t saved me in the nick of time, I would’ve died. [Scene: Some days later. Tokitou trains in the rain.] Y.Tokitou (Flashback) Ngh! Ngh… Ngh… Ngh… Ngh… Nichika (Flashback) Lord Tokitou! You haven’t healed yet! [Action: Amane stops Nichika.] Nichika (Flashback) Ah… Tokitou (Thoughts) I may have lost my memory, but my body remembers. (Thoughts) This fury will never leave me until I die. Y.Tokitou (Flashback) Grr… [Scene: In the present. Tokitou comes down from the tree.] Tokitou (Thoughts) That’s why I worked my way up by training so hard that I’d vomit blood! (Thoughts) To annihilate the demons, to wipe them out once and for all… Gyokko See me in all my serious glory! Demon Blood Art… Killer Fish Scales! <\|endoftext\|>

[Scene: Some days later. Tokitou trains in the rain.] Y.Tokitou (Flashback) Ngh! Ngh… Ngh… Ngh… Ngh… Nichika (Flashback) Lord Tokitou! You haven’t healed yet! [Action: Amane stops Nichika.] Nichika (Flashback) Ah… Tokitou (Thoughts) I may have lost my memory, but my body remembers. (Thoughts) This fury will never leave me until I die. Y.Tokitou (Flashback) Grr… [Scene: In the present. Tokitou comes down from the tree.] Tokitou (Thoughts) That’s why I worked my way up by training so hard that I’d vomit blood! (Thoughts) To annihilate the demons, to wipe them out once and for all… Gyokko See me in all my serious glory! Demon Blood Art… Killer Fish Scales! [Action: Gyokko launches toward Tokitou and attacks. Tokitou blocks and dodges the attack.] Gyokko Hyo, hyo, hyo! Now, what do you say to my illogical movements? My scales allow me to move at will! Impossible to predict! I love nothing more than going against the laws of nature! Now, what kind of art should I make out of you? I can rip off that ugly head of yours and replace it with a lovely fish! (Thoughts) It’s over for you! Tokitou (Thoughts) Mist Breathing, Seventh Form… Obscuring Clouds.

Me, of all people?! Tokitou It’s over for you. Goodbye. No need to ever be reborn again, all right? [Action: Gyokko tries to regrow his body from his neck.] Gyokko Curses! This should just never happen! You, a lowly human! How dare you slice off my head! You abominable, low-level lifeform! My life is worth 100 of you and your ilk! I am one of the chosen and exalted lifeforms! You’re weak! After you’re born, all you do is grow old! And I took your insignificant, unimportant life in my hands and used my divine hands to elevate you into a nobler work of art! You vulgar little maggot -- [Action: Tokitou slices Gyokko’s head into tiny pieces. They disintegrate.] Gyokko Gah! Tokitou I’ve heard enough, so… could you just go to hell already?

How could you possibly be alive after losing all that blood! [Action: Tokitou wakes up.] Kotetsu Oh, this is the blood from the arm they slashed. It got on me when I was pressing on it.

Tanjirou … with your life! [Action: Tanjirou slashes toward Hantengu’s neck.] Hantengu Ahh… [Scene: In Hantengu’s past, when he was still a human. A man confronts Hantengu about a theft.] Man (Flashback) Why would you steal from others?

(Flashback) I am going to the magistrate’s office now. H.Hantengu (Flashback) I’m not the one at fault here. It’s these hands that are to blame! (Flashback) These hands acted on their own! Hantengu (Thoughts) What the hell is this? [Action: Hantengu stands over the man’s dead body with a knife in his hand.] Hantengu (Thoughts) Is that me when I was a human? Why now, after all this time? [Scene: Sometime later. Hantengu sits before the magistrate.] Magistrate (Flashback) I’m told you’ve committed theft and murder numerous times in another town, as well. I have absolutely no sympathy for you! H.Hantengu (Flashback) That’s absurd… I’m not capable of such a thing <\|endoftext\|>

Tanjirou and the others must’ve beheaded the main body! [Scene: In a house somewhere. A woman knocks on the door for her son.] Woman Toshikuni? I’m coming in, all right? [Action: The woman opens the door and finds books strewn all over the floor.] Woman Oh my… What’s gotten into you, Toshikuni? Making such a mess… I see that you’ve been doing some research. You can’t find the book that you need? I’ll help you find it. But first, take a break. Let’s have some tea. Kibutsuji At last… Woman What’s that? Kibutsuji At last, someone able to withstand the sun has appeared! Good work, Hantengu! Woman Well, you certainly seem to be enjoying yourself. Perhaps it’s the stories you’ve been reading -- [Action: Kibutsuji beheads the woman immediately.] Maid Huh? Huh? Madam? What happened… to your head? Kibutsuji Now, there’s no need to search for the Blue Spider Lily. Maid Madam… Kibutsuji Fufufu… That took so long. But it was for this reason, for this reason, for one thousand years that I’ve continued to increase my kind unwillingly! Ngh… [Action: Kibutsuji returns to his normal form.] Kibutsuji A rare constitution that never showed up even among the Twelve Kizuki… The chosen demon… If I devour that girl and absorb her, I, too, will be able to conquer the sun! Maid You murderer! Murderer! You monster! Master! Master! Ma -- [Action: Kibutsuji kills the maid and leaves.] [Scene: In Kibutsuji’s past. A doctor calls for Kibutsuji, who is still a human.] Kibutsuji (Narration) Now that I think of it, it was on that day… It all started one thousand years ago. The era was still called Heian back then. Doctor If I may, sir… Your medicine is ready for you now. H.Kibutsuji You inept doctor… (Thoughts) That said, this inept doctor is the only one I have to lean on. [Scene: In a darkened room. The doctor gives Kibutsuji some medicine.] H.Kibutsuji What will become of me if I don’t take this? Doctor As you know, you will not live to see your twentieth birthday. I am doing all I can to help you live even a little longer. H.Kibutsuji All right, fine. That’s enough. [Action: Kibutsuji drinks medicine.] H.Kibutsuji (Thoughts) It won’t work anyway.

(Thoughts) No matter how many times he examines me or administers that medicine, nothing can stop my symptoms from worsening. [Action: Kibutsuji grabs a knife and kills the doctor.] H.Kibutsuji Death is all you deserve, you damn incompetent doctor! Kibutsuji (Narration) But then I realized that this doctor’s medicine was working not long after I’d killed him. (Narration) My body was bursting with energy, and I thought that I’d gained a durable physique, but there was a problem. (Narration) I couldn’t walk in the sunlight. (Narration) I could tell that if exposed to sunlight, I would die. (Narration) I began to crave human flesh and blood. To remedy that, all I had to do was devour humans. (Narration) If anyone stands in your way, just eliminate them. That’s all there is to it. [Scene: On a dark and stormy night. Soldiers confront Kibutsuji as he roams the streets.] Soldier Come back here, cursed demon who disrupts the peace of the capitol! Kibutsuji Are you… talking about me? [Action: The soldiers fire arrows at Kibutsuji, but Kibutsuji deflects them back and kills all the soldiers.] Soldiers Gahh! Kibutsuji (Narration) I had gained power. Eternal power! (Narration) But… having to restrict my movements during the day was humiliating, and my anger only grew. I began to seek a body that wouldn’t perish in the sunlight. (Narration) I examined the compounds for the doctor’s elixir, but perhaps because it was still in the experimental stages, I couldn’t figure out how to make the medicine called “Blue Spider Lily”. (Narration) It did seem to contain actual blue-colored spider lilies, but as for where this Blue Spider Lily bloomed or whether or not it could be cultivated, no one knew but the doctor I’d killed. I searched all over Japan but failed to find it. (Narration) In order to become truly immortal, finding the Blue Spider Lily and someone who had the ability to survive the sunlight have been my top priorities. [Scene: In the present. Kibutsuji sees Nezuko carrying Tanjirou after his fight with Hantengu.] Kibutsuji (Narration) And at last, I’ve found her! (Thoughts) Since that girl has conquered the sun, there’s no longer any reason to increase my kind. I will absorb her, and then I will conquer the sunlight! (Thoughts) I will get my hands on Nezuko and become the perfect being! [Scene: In the field near the Swordsmith Village. Tokitou and Kotetsu meet Tanjirou, Nezuko, and the swordsmiths.] Tokitou Tanjirou, are you all right? Tanjirou Mm… Ah… T-Tokitou… Thank goodness you’re safe… Nezuko Fufu… [Action: Nezuko pets Kotetsu’s head.] Tanjirou Thank you for my sword. Tokitou I should be thanking you. Because of you, I recovered something precious that I’d lost. Tanjirou Huh? No… I didn’t do anything… Tokitou It’s all right. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tanjirou Tokitou… Tokitou Anyway, what’s going on with Nezuko? Tanjirou Well, actually… Haganezuka Why, you! Tanjirou Huh? Haganezuka Grrr! What did you do with my sword?! Kanamori Calm down!

Tamayo writes a letter to Tanjirou.] Tamayo (Thoughts) “Tanjirou, I thank you for providing me with the Twelve Kizuki’s and Nezuko’s blood and for helping me with my research.” (Thoughts) “The man in Asakusa who was turned into a demon by Muzan has regained his sense of self. It’s thanks to Nezuko’s blood.” (Thoughts) “Released from Muzan’s control, he can live on a small amount of blood.” (Thoughts) “The transformation of Nezuko’s blood surprises me. In such a short time, the components of her blood have changed again and again.” (Thoughts) “All this time, I have been thinking about why it is that Nezuko has yet to regain her sense of self and remains in a childlike state.” (Thoughts) “I believe that in Nezuko’s mind, there’s something more important than regaining her sense of self, something that she needs to prioritize.” Yuushirou? Yuushirou? [Action: Yuushirou enters the room.] Yuushirou Yes, Lady Tamayo? What can I do for you? Tamayo Can you summon Chachamaru for me? [Action: Chachamaru appears.] Yuushirou Chachamaru is ready to go now. [Action: Tamayo packs the letter in Chachamaru’s pack.] Tamayo Give my regards to Tanjirou and Nezuko, okay?

[Action: Kanamori and Kotetsu pull a cart. Tanjirou sleeps in the cart.] Kotetsu Lord Tecchin! Tecchin Oh, Kotetsu! Kotetsu Tanjirou is leaving the village, so he’d like to say goodbye. Tanjirou? Tanjirou Ah… Ngh… [Action: Tanjirou sits up.] Tecchin Are you feeling all right? Tanjirou Yes! Thank you for all that you did for me. And thank you for providing me with this cart. Tecchin I’m the one who should be thanking you. You did a good job protecting this village! I’m grateful to you! Tanjirou I wasn’t able to do that much on my own. It was everyone pulling together… Our combined strength and that sword that’s been connecting us to centuries of hopes until today. That’s why we were able to defeat those Upper Rank demons. Tecchin Yes, yes. You’re right. And where’s your sister? Tanjirou She’s asleep. I really made her exhausted. [Action: Nezuko sleeps in her box.] Tanjirou Heh… Tecchin I see!

Shinazugawa, Iguro, and the two Demon Slayers enter.] Demon Grr… Urah! [Action: A demon lunges at one of the Demon Slayers. Iguro beheads it in one go.] Demon Gah… [Action: Other demons charge. Shinazugawa beheads another.] Shinazugawa Ngh! Demons Gah! Shinazugawa Ngh! Ugh… Demons Gahh! Gahh… Ngh! Slayers Ugh… Urah! Demon Ngh… Gahh… Gahh! Grrr… Slayers Ahh…! Ngh! There! Demon Gah!

Slayer But… Shinazugawa You guys are in our way. Just get the hell out of here. Slayers Ngh… Ugh… [Action: The two Demon Slayers flee.] Iguro Shinazugawa, something strange is going on here. Shinazugawa Yeah, I don’t like it. I’ve never seen so many demons swarming in one place. Woman Help me! Shinazugawa Ngh… [Action: Shinazugawa jumps up into an attic, coming face to face with a large group of demons.] Shinazugawa Wind Breathing, Second Form! Demons Gahhh! Shinazugawa Claws-Purifying Wind! [Action: Shinazugawa defeats the demons in one swing. Another wave comes, and Iguro appears.] Iguro Serpent Breathing, Fifth Form. Demons Gahh! Iguro Slithering Serpent. [Action: Iguro defeats the second wave of demons.] Iguro That was close. Shinazugawa I didn’t ask for your help! Demon Ugh… This strength… They’re not ordinary Demon Slayers. They’re Hashira! [Action: The demon with the kidnapped woman runs from the area.] Woman Help me! Shinazugawa Hey, demon! Leave that woman and your head here! [Action: Two demons appear in front of Shinazugawa.] Shinazugawa Get out! [Action: Shinazugawa defeats the demons instantly.] Demon Gah! [Action: More demons appear. Shinzugawa mows through them.] Shinazugawa They just keep appearing one after another! Demon Gah! Shinazugawa Are you demons or cockroaches?! Demon Gah! Woman Ahh…! Shinazugawa Ngh! Demons Ugh! Grr… Woman Ahh! [Action: The demon with the kidnapped woman jumps through a hole in the wall.] Shinazugawa Hm? Demon Urahh! [Action: A demon appears from the sky. Shinazugawa cuts it down.] Shinazugawa There are still more? Demons Grr… Shinazugawa Where the hell are those demons coming from? Iguro Save the woman, Shinazugawa. I got your six. Shinazugawa Haa… Well, I’m getting bored, too. I’ll let you take care of them! [Action: Shinazugawa chases after the demon with the kidnapped woman.] Demons Urahh… Iguro Serpent Breathing, Third Form. Demons Urahh… Iguro Coil Choke. [Action: Iguro defeats a large group of demons.] Woman Ahhh! Demons Grrr… Shinazugawa Listen, you can’t win even if you gather small fries. Just give up and die. Demon Grrr… [Action: A horde of demons lunges at Shinazugawa.] Demons Urahh! Urahhh! Shinazugawa Tsk… Ngh! [Action: Shinazugawa swings, releasing a large-scale attack.] Demons Gahh! Shinazugawa Wind Breathing, Fourth Form! Rising Dust Storm. Demon Ugh… Good grief. Woman Ah… Demon If you want her so badly… Woman Ah! No! What are you going to do?! [Action: T <\|endoftext\|>

Demon Fufufufu… Shinazugawa Stay there, shithead! [Action: Shinazugawa aims to stab the demon, but the doors to the Infinity Castle close. Shinazugawa’s sword hits the ground.] Shinazugawa Ngh… What the heck is going on? Iguro Hey, Shinazugawa. What was that? Where have the demons gone? Shinazugawa How the hell should I know? [Scene: In a village. Kanao rides on a cart.] Man You sure you want to get off at the end of this road? [Action: Kanao smiles at the man as the sun rises. She gets off the cart and arrives at the Butterfly Mansion.] Kiyo Ah… Miss Kanao! Good work on completing your mission! Naho, Sumi Good work! [Action: Kanao finds Shinobu in her room.] Kanao Master, I have just returned. [Action: Shinobu and Kanao walk through the estate.] Shinobu That matter of the Swordsmith Village was just like I told you the other day. Tokitou, Kanroji, Kamado, and the others have defeated two Upper Ranks. Moreover, Nezuko has overcome the sun. There will be major developments to come. Kanao Yes. Shinobu Muzan Kibutsuji will probably use his demons to take Nezuko away… in order to own a demon that can overcome the sun. [Scene: In a separate room. Nezuko sits on a bed. The sun is covered by clouds.] Nezuko Ah… Ahh… [Scene: In the hallway. Shinobu stops walking.] Shinobu I will attend an urgent Hashira meeting at the Ubuyashiki residence. In the meantime, can I ask you to protect Nezuko? Kanao Huh? Shinobu Heh… It’s a request. [Scene: At the Butterfly Mansion. Tanjirou sits in bed and eats while Gotou gives him a rundown of events.] Tanjirou I see. They’re moving their base. Are the villagers all right? Gotou I don’t know that much about the details. They said the demons might attack at night, so they’re desperately rebuilding and relocating. Tanjirou I see… Gotou It’s miraculous how that was all it took even though two Upper Ranks attacked. Tanjirou Heh… The enemies were really strong. Gotou The Corps created several “empty villages” for such occasions, so we’re able to move quickly if something happens. Tanjirou Wow… Gotou Well, that’s because the Master and his family’s predictions are incredible. Anyway, you’ve been unconscious for a week. Is it okay to eat that much? Tanjirou Yes! Kanroji said she also eats a lot! Gotou Nah, she seems a bit beyond reason. Kanroji (Flashback) Mmm… Delicious! Gotou Is it true that the Love Hashira and Mist Hashira slept for two days and were almost fully recovered by the third day? Kanroji It’s true! I respect them! Gotou You’re getting closer to them, you know? Bit by bit. Well, it’s fine if you get better soon. Tanjirou Huh? Gotou I’m glad everyone is alive. Tanjirou Yes! Gotou Oh, this is what <\|endoftext\|>

Gotou Oh, this is what I wanted to ask the most. I heard your sister has become something incredible. Is she all right? Tanjirou Oh, yes, she is. She’s starting to totter under the sun. Gotou Isn’t that bad? Seriously, isn’t that dangerous? Tanjirou She’s being examined, but we still don’t know anything. We don’t know if she’s turning back into a human or evolving as a demon. Gotou Is Lady Kochou looking into it? Tanjirou Not her, but Lady Tamayo. Gotou Who’s Lady Tamayo? [Action: Tanjirou chokes on his riceball.] Tanjirou Guh! Gotou Huh?! [Action: Tanjirou coughs loudly.] Gotou Tsk… Hey, see? You ate too much! You should know that you’re still recovering! Tanjirou (Thoughts) That was close! Gotou Your sister has become like that and things are going to start happening. Every Corps member has been given an order to be on alert, and we’re told the Hashira are gathering. What happens from now, really? [Scene: At the Ubuyashiki residence. The Hashira have gathered.] Shinazugawa We’re the last ones, huh? Iguro Sorry to keep you waiting. Himejima No problem. Well done on your mission. Shinazugawa It was nothing. I heard Kanroji and Tokitou had a fight against the Upper Ranks. Kanroji Yeah. They were strong! I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore, but we all pulled together. Right, Muichirou? Tokitou Yeah. Shinazugawa Ugh… That makes me jealous. Why haven’t I encountered an Upper Rank? Iguro It’s like almost everyone is running into them. Kanroji and Tokitou, how are you feeling now? Kanroji Oh! Thanks for asking. I’m much better now! (Thoughts) Oh, my! He’s worried about me! Ahh~! Haha! Hahaha! Tokitou I’m fine, too, although I’m still not in my best form. Himejima If we lose any more Hashira, the Corps will be in danger. Defeating two Upper Ranks without dying is a tremendous feat. Shinobu You two healed unusually fast this time. What happened? Tomioka I believe the Master will talk about that matter, too. [Action: Amane, Kiriya, and Kanata the room. The Hashira turn to face her.] Amane Thank you for waiting. At today’s Hashira meeting, I, Amane Ubuyashiki, will represent Kagaya Ubuyashiki. I would also like to apologize sincerely for the fact that Master Kagaya will no longer be able to appear before you due to his declining health. [Action: Amane, Kiriya, and Kanata bow.] Hashira Ah… Ah… Ah… [Action: The Hashira bow to Amane, Kiriya, and Kanata.] Himejima Understood. I pray that his flame of life continues to burn even one day longer. I also pray that your spirit remains strong, Amane. Amane My sincere gratitude to all the Hashira. As you may have already heard, now that a demon who can withstand the sunlight has appeared, Muzan Kibutsuji will change his aim and come for her so that he can overcome the sun, too. A large-scale war is near. I have received reports that during the fight against Upper Rank Four and Five, Kanroji… Kanroji Ah… Amane … and Tokitou… Tokitou Ah… Amane … manifested a unique pattern of marks. Crow Fufu! Amane I would like you both to tell <\|endoftext\|>

Amane I would like you both to tell us about what conditions caused those marks to appear. Crow Fufu… Kanroji, Tokitou Ah… Kanroji Marks? Amane During the Sengoku period, there were swordsmen of the First Breathing who had almost defeated Muzan Kibutsuji. All of them manifested marks similar to a demon crest. Shinazugawa Huh? Tomioka, Iguro Ah… Amane You may have heard such tales, but the tales are true. Shinazugawa This is the first I’ve heard of it. Why was it kept in the dark? Amane Many people have tormented themselves over the marks that did not manifest. That is because there is a lack of clarity regarding the legend of the marks. It could be because it was not considered important at the time, or perhaps, because the Demon Slayer Corps has been nearly destroyed many times, the information was not passed down. Only one thing was written down clearly. When the marked one appears, the mark will appear on others around as well as if in resonance. [Action: Kiriya takes out a book.] Kiriya That was written down in the journal of the swordsman of the First Breathing. Amane The first person in this generation who did manifest the mark… was not a Hashira but Tanjirou Kamado. He was the first marked one. [Scene: In a courtyard. Tanjirou explains the feeling of the mark manifesting to a kasugai crow.] Tanjirou It was like “gwaaah”! And then “gaaah!” My stomach was like “groooar”! Like that! Amane However, he did not seem to know how the mark manifested, so we put it aside for the time being. And this time, following him, two Hashira have had this awakening. Please teach us how to manifest it, Kanroji and Tokitou. Kanroji Oh! S-Sure! (Thoughts) Lady Amane is so admirable! Mmm~! Ah! Uh, well, so at that time… if I remember right, my body became very light. Um… Uh… And then… it was… Ah! It was like “gwaaah”! And “whooom”! Then “gaaah”! My heart was thumping nonstop! My ears rang so loudly! Crack, crack, crack! Like that! Hehe… Shinazugawa Huh? Iguro Ugh… Kanroji My deepest apologies. I would crawl into a hole if there was one! [Action: Tanjirou sneezes.] Tokitou Okay, it’s my turn. Kanroji Wahh… Tokitou I wasn’t aware of any mark that manifested on me, but when I think back to that battle, there are a few unusual things that come to mind. If the conditions are met, everyone could probably manifest the mark. I’ll tell you how I did it. [Scene: In the Ubuyashiki residence. Tokitou explains his circumstances.] Tokitou During that battle, I was poisoned and couldn’t move. When I tried to slow down my blood circulation and the spread of the poison using my breathing, I saw the boy who wanted to save me nearly killed, my lost memories returned, and then I couldn’t control my emotions because I was so angry. I think my heart rate was over 200 beats per minute. Kanroji Oh… Tokitou Furthermore, my body was burning hot. My temperature must have reached over 39 degrees Celsius. Shinobu Ah… How could you move in such a state? It could be life-threatening. Tokitou You’re right. It was <\|endoftext\|>

Shinobu Ah… How could you move in such a state? It could be life-threatening. Tokitou You’re right. It was like being sieved. I think the difference between those who manifest the mark and those who don’t is whether you die or not. Amane A heart rate over 200 beats per minute… How can you be sure your temperature was 39 degrees? Tokitou Well, I had a fever when I was being treated at Kochou’s place. The thermometer showed my body temperature was 39 degrees. I felt it was the same heat when the mark manifested. Kanroji (Thoughts) I didn’t realize that. Shinazugawa Tsk… So it’s really that simple. Tomioka I envy you for being such a simpleton that you can call that simple. Shinazugawa What did you say? Tomioka Nothing. [Action: Rain starts to fall.] Shinobu That means we Hashira must manifest the mark. Himejima Agreed. We will do something about it. Please tell the Master to rest assured. Amane Thank you. But there is one thing I must tell you regarding the training to manifest the mark. Kanroji What is it? Amane Those who have manifested the mark will have no choice anymore. They, without exception, will… [Scene: Sometime later. The rain has stopped. Amane, Nichika, and Kiriya have left the room.] Himejima I understand now. But in that case, what would happen to me? Good Lord. Tomioka Since Lady Amane has left, I have nothing left to do here. Shinazugawa Hey, hold on! Don’t just leave! We have to decide what each of us is going to do. Tomioka The six of you can talk among yourselves. It has nothing to do with me. Iguro What do you mean by that? You’re not aware enough that you’re a Hashira. Or what? Do you want to start your training as soon as possible? You want to skip the meeting? [Action: Tomioka turns to leave the room.] Kanroji Ahh… Shinazugawa Wait, you bastard! Shinobu Explain yourself, Tomioka. You didn’t explain enough. Tomioka I’m different from all of you. Shinazugawa I don’t like it. You said the same thing before, Tomioka. Are you looking down on us? Kanroji P-Please, don’t fight! Stay calm, okay? [Action: Tomioka begins to walk away.] Shinazugawa Come back here! [Action: Shinazugawa follows after Tomioka.] Kanroji Ahh! No, no! Please, don’t! [Action: Himejima claps his hands together, sending a shockwave through the room.] Kanroji Gahh! Himejima Sit down. Let’s continue our discussion. I have a proposal. [Scene: In Tanjirou’s hospital room. Gotou sets a platter of snacks and tea down for Tanjirou.] Gotou Here you go. Tanjirou Wow! Thank you very much! [Action: Tanjirou begins eating.] Tanjirou Mmm… Gotou You really eat a lot. Anyway, where are those three girls and your sister? I don’t see Aoi, either. Tanjirou There’s no member in critical condition, so they’ve been playing with Nezuko. Thanks to them, she’s learning to speak bit by bit. Gotou Oh, I see. How peaceful. Tanjirou Mmm! These dango are delicious! Gotou Yeah, yeah, I know. But wouldn’t it be a problem if that Yellow Head showed up? [Scene: Outside the Butterfly Mansion.

Kiyo Everyone, Zenitsu is back! [Action: Kiyo, Naho, and Sumi run toward Zenitsu.] Kiyo, Naho, Sumi Yay! Sumi Good work on completing your mission, Zenitsu. Kiyo, Naho Good work! Zenitsu Kiyo, Naho, and Sumi, you three gathered here to welcome me? Ugh, this time was really tough, too. I thought I was gonna die over and over! But everyone would be sad if I died, so I did my best! You’d be lonely without me after all, wouldn’t you? Kiyo, Naho, Sumi No, we wouldn’t. Zenitsu What?! Kiyo But I’m glad you made it back alive! Zenitsu Uh, thanks… [Action: Another wooden toy flies out into the walking path. Aoi comes out.] Aoi Oh, Zenitsu, you’ve returned. Good work. Zenitsu Aoi! Aoi, you must’ve missed me, right? I bet you’ve been lonely! Aoi Not really. [Action: Nezuko peeks out from behind the fence.] Nezuko Heh… Zenitsu Huh? Mm… Nezuko Wel… Welcome back. Zenitsu Wahhh! What?! Ahhhh! Kiyo, Naho, Sumi Ah! Aoi So loud! Nezuko W-Welcome back. Zenitsu She’s so cute I could die! Aoi Sure, feel free to die! [Action: Zenitsu runs toward Nezuko. Kiyo and Naho are blasted out of the way.] Kiyo, Naho Ahh! Zenitsu What happened, Nezuko?! You’re talking! For me, right? It must be for me, right? You did great just for me. I’m so happy! Aoi Please go somewhere else! Zenitsu We can finally get married! Aoi Ngh… Get away from her! Zenitsu You looked so lovely under the moonlight, but you’re also irresistible in the sunlight! You’re wonderful! If you marry me, I’ll feed you sushi and eel every day! You can rest assured! Let’s make a family! Nezuko Welcome back, Inosuke. Aoi Pft… Sumi, Kiyo, Naho Ahh… Zenitsu Inosuke? Nezuko Inosuke, welcome back.

Tanjirou continues eating.] Gotou By the way, where is that Boar Head? Tanjirou If you’re looking for Inosuke… Huh?

Haganezuka Ahh… Ugh… [Action: Haganezuka sits down.] Haganezuka Bla… Bla… Bla… Tanjirou Do you mean the blade? Okay, I’ll look at it! [Action: Tanjirou unsheathes the sword.] Tanjirou Ahh… (Thoughts) Amazing. The depth of the black color is different. Haganezuka The steel is of good quality. Its previous owner must have been a very strong swordsman. Tanjirou It has the “slay” character on it… Haganezuka The swordsmith who forged it had one goal. It’s a sword to slay all demons. He didn’t engrave his name or anything but just a single character. The ranking system began after this sword was made, and only the Hashira swords were engraved with “slay the demons”. Tanjirou Is that so? What an incredible sword. But… I don’t think there was anything engraved on it when I used it in the last battle. Haganezuka Tsk… That’s because I had only sharpened it up to the first stage, and you guys took it from me. I hadn’t cleaned the rust off! Do you want me to kill you?! Tanjirou I’m sorry! Haganezuka Even now, I’m still crying because the pain of my wounds isn’t gone! It hurts so much it’s unbearable! [Action: Haganezuka pulls Tanjirou’s cheek.] Tanjirou Gahhh! Haganezuka Thanks to your interruption while I was sharpening it, I had to start sharpening all over again! Urahhh! Tanjirou I’m sorry! Gotou If we’re talking about wounds, his wounds were more serious. The bones all through his body were broken. Tanjirou Huh? Haganezuka Ngh… I’ll kill you! Gotou Didn’t you hear me? Haganezuka Listen up, Tanjirou! Tanjirou Eek! Haganezuka You will bring me mitarashi dango until you die! You understand?! Got it?! Tanjirou Y-Yes, I will… [Action: Haganezuka hobbles away.] Tanjirou Thank you very much. Get well soon… Gotou I’ve heard rumors about him, but he’s truly something. Tanjirou Actually, he was calmer than usual. He must really be in pain. Gotou Seriously? Genya Can you be quieter, man? Tanjirou Oh, sorry, Genya. We’re done already.

Now that we don’t know what Muzan Kibutsuji will do in the future, I want us to prepare everything we can. Iguro If the demons become more active, we alone won’t be able to handle them. Shinobu But wouldn’t the demons attack while we’re holding the training? Himejima It’s assumed that the demons will focus on capturing Nezuko Kamado. In reality, since the incident at the Swordsmith Village, the appearance of demons has decreased significantly. If that is the case, since we could hardly train others other than our Tsuguko due to our schedules until now, in this short period of time, we should use this opportunity to strengthen the entire Corps. This is important and urgent. It is important, and therefore I propose the Hashira training. Shinazugawa Himejima, no need to be so wordy. Shinobu I concur. Iguro No objection. Tokitou Me, too. Kanroji I also agree! Iguro Are there enough active Hashira to hold the training? Himejima I’m thinking of asking the retired Hashira to help us. Any objections? Shinazugawa Of course not. Shinobu The only thing left is… Tomioka. [Scene: In Tanjirou’s hospital room. Zenitsu talks with Tanjirou.] Zenitsu Haa… I just got back from a mission, and now I have to do the training. I can’t stand it. Tanjirou Are you going now, Zenitsu? Zenitsu Yeah. We have to take the Hashira training in turns. Tanjirou Huh? Really? That’s amazing. Zenitsu It’s not amazing at all. It’s horrible. It’s hell. Whoever proposed this should die already. Tanjirou Hey! Sparring with superiors is a shortcut to improving! When you face someone stronger, you absorb it and get stronger yourself! Zenitsu Ahhh! [Action: Zenitsu chews on Tanjirou’s head.] Tanjirou Eek! Zenitsu If you’re so optimistic, then we can no longer be friends! Tanjirou Ow, ow! That hurts! Zenitsu It’s okay for you! Your bone fractures haven’t healed yet! You can just go back to sleep and stay warm! I have to go train now! Do you know how I feel?! Tanjirou Gahh! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Zenitsu Tsk! [Action: Zenitsu turns to leave the room.] Tanjirou Oh, Zenitsu! Zenitsu Don’t talk to me! Tanjirou No, wait a minute! I forgot to say thank you. When I was fighting Upper Rank Four and almost couldn’t move one of my legs, thanks to the Thunder Breathing trick you taught me, I was able to cut off the demon’s head. Of course, I couldn’t do it as fast as you, but thank you so much. Sometimes connections with others can help us get through tight spots. I’m sure that everything we learn from the Hashira training will lead to a better future. Zenitsu You idiot! Don’t think that’s going to fix my mood~! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Oh, he looks happy. That’s good. Zenitsu See you later, Tanjirou! Get well soon. Oh, jeez, everyone’s really helpless without me. Fufufufu… [Action: Zenitsu leaves the room.] Tanjirou Ahh… I’m really thankful, Zenitsu.

[Scene: In the mountains. The Hashira training begins. Several Demon Slayers run up the mountain.] Uzui So slow, so slow, so slow! You’re all slow! What the hell are you doing?! You guys really are unbelievable! Ngh! First of all, your basic fitness is non-existent! This is just simply running! Faster! Move as if the demons are chasing you! Hey, hey, I can’t hear your voices! No need to lick the ground! It isn’t break time yet! [Action: Uzui hits a Demon Slayer with his wooden sword.] Uzui Run one more lap! Slayer Please, no more… Uzui You guys are total losers! The training of the active Hashira after this will be even harder! Hinatsuru As expected, Lord Tengen is more lively when he’s on duty. Makio Well, of course. And we must do our best to help him. Suma Since everyone is hungry, let’s make lots and lots of rice balls! Hinatsuru, Makio Yeah! [Action: Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma make a bunch of rice balls and bowls of soup.] Makio Lord Tengen, lunch is ready! Uzui Thanks! Hey! Your meals are ready! [Action: Two Demon Slayers fall to the ground.] Slayers I can’t… I don’t feel like eating… Uzui You guys are really sloppy. Hinatsuru Lord Tengen, please don’t be so mad at them. Uzui I don’t want to be, but if I send them to the next Hashira like this, I’ll be the one to blame. Makio Here, Lord Tengen. Uzui Thanks. Suma It’s miso soup with lots of salt. [Action: Uzui drinks some soup.] Uzui Ahh… This is nothing compared to their training! Suma You’re in charge of basic fitness workouts, right? What kind of training do they have after this? Uzui After my training… first is Tokitou’s high-speed movement training. He’ll do harsh things even with his poker face. Next, they’ll be greeted by Kanroji’s hellish flexibility training. Next comes Iguro’s training to improve swordsmanship. I tell you the Serpent Hashira is stubborn. After is Shinazugawa’s training. I heard it’s endless striking training, which, as I’m sure the name implies, will have no end. The last one is Himejima’s muscle strengthening. You have to throw away your humanity for this one. The Hashira are also expected to improve their strength as well since they have to deal with the Corps members one after another. What do you think? Isn’t that flamboyant? I wish I had the chance to train with everything I have as well. I’ll leave it to you guys. [Scene: At Shinazugawa’s training camp. Shinazugawa blows a bunch of Demon Slayers away.] Slayers Ahhh! Shinazugawa Come on! Slayer Ahh… Shinazugawa This ain’t gonna raise my temperature. You guys are too weak! [Scene: At Kanroji’s training camp. Kanroji trains a Demon Slayer.] Slayer Gah… Ahh… Gahh! Kanroji Good, keep it up! Try a bit wider! [Scene: At Iguro’s training camp. Iguro incapacitates several Demon Slayers one by one.] Slayers Gah! Ugh… Gah! Wahh! Iguro You never know where the enemy will attack. Feel it. [Scene: At Tokitou’s training camp. Tokitou spars with a Demon Slayer.] Slayer Ngh!

For the Master’s sake, for the Corps members who have died so far, and for all the people who are still alive, we have to get through this. Hang in there. [Scene: In the evening, at Tanjirou’s hospital room. A kasugai crow pecks the window.] Tanjirou Hm? What’s this? [Action: Tanjirou opens the window. The kasugai crow pecks Tanjirou’s forehead.] Crow Caw! Tanjirou Gahhh! Ah, I’m bleeding! What are you doing so suddenly? That’s mean! [Action: The kasugai crow takes a paper off its leg.] Crow Hurry, hurry. It’s a letter from the Master. Read it at once. Tanjirou A letter for me? I wonder what it is. [Action: Tanjirou reads the letter.] Tanjirou Ah…! Tomioka isn’t participating in the Hashira training? [Scene: At the Ubuyashiki residence. Amane sits by Kagaya’s bedside.] Amane Master Kagaya, the Hashira have begun to train the Corps members for the upcoming battle. Your children are carrying your will and connecting with your feelings. They are willing to do it for the long-held ambition of defeating Muzan Kibutsuji. [Action: Kagaya’s hand moves. Amane takes his hand.] Kagaya Amane. Amane Yes? Kagaya Thank you… for everything… you have done. Amane Ah… Of course… [Scene: At Tamayo’s house. Tamayo continues her research. A kasugai crow flies into the window.] Tamayo Ah…! Crow Good evening, Tamayo. It is dangerous to leave a window open at night. But still, the moon is beautiful tonight. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am the messenger of Kagaya Ubuyashiki. admit you are very good at hiding. While I was trying to find you, Ubuyashiki became unable to move. Tamayo How did you find this place? Crow The human network. I have identified the previous owner of the house you bought. Also, during the day, I could grasp how Yushirou’s vision works. Even though I am trained, I am just a crow. No one is wary of me to begin with. I have no intention of harming you two, so rest assured. Tamayo Then what do you want? Crow Hmm… You are suspicious of me. It is understandable. As expected, it is difficult for me to gain your trust as Tanjirou did. Tamayo (Thoughts) What are his intentions? Is Ubuyashiki trying to deceive me? Where is Yushirou? Crow There is no need to worry about Yushirou. [Action: A noise comes from upstairs.] Tamayo Ah… Crow Listen. You can hear his footsteps as he comes running. Now… I shall tell you my business. In the Demon Slayer Corps, there is a child who is knowledgeable about demon bodies and pharmacology. We would like you to look into Nezuko’s transformation with her.

But tonight, the moon is truly a gorgeous sight to behold. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m one of Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s messengers. Hmm… You’re full of suspicion. I don’t blame you. It would be hard to gain your trust like Tanjirou has, just as I thought. Tamayo (Thoughts) What does he intend to do? Ubuyashiki… Is he trying to deceive me somehow? Where is Yushirou? Crow You need not worry about Yushirou. [Action: Yushirou rushes toward Tamayo’s room.] Crow Listen. You can hear his footsteps running toward us. Yushirou Lady Tamayo! Lady Tamayo! Lady… Tamayo! Crow And now… shall I state my business? There is a girl in the Demon Slayer Corps who is also well-versed in demon physiology and pharmaceuticals. Along with looking into the changes to Nezuko, we want you to collaborate with her. Tamayo Ah… Crow Will you work with us to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji? Please come to the Ubuyashiki Mansion. Tamayo (Thoughts) You’re summoning me, a demon… to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters? Crow I’ll be waiting for a favorable response from you. [Action: Kagaya’s crow flies away.] Crow Caw, caw!

I’m ready to go! Tamayo It’s different this time. Yushirou Huh? Tamayo Now that Nezuko has conquered the sun, something has been set in motion. No… It’s possible that it was already in motion before that. What happened that day has now, at last, become one large wave. And perhaps… Yushirou Surely not, Lady Tamayo! Tamayo Either way, we will be leaving this house. It’s just that it’s different from all the other times. I’m going to start compiling all of the research I’ve done to date, so please help me with that, Yushirou. This may very well be our last move. Yushirou Mm… Tamayo Let’s go… to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, the Ubuyashiki Mansion. [Scene: At night, in Tanjirou’s hospital room. Tanjirou reads a letter from Kagaya.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Master… Kagaya “Tanjirou… How are your wounds healing?” “I’m ashamed to admit it, but I can no longer move.” “And though I’d like to speak with Giyuu, it doesn’t look like that will be possible.” “As this is a very important time for us, I’d like us all to strive as one as hard as we can.” “Would you mind talking to Giyuu for me?” “So that Giyuu, who tends to put himself into a negative frame of mind, can start to look ahead again, will you be persistent in your efforts to speak with him?” Tanjirou (Thoughts) Mr. Giyuu… Yes, sir!

Aoi You’re not going off to Hashira Training already, are you? Tanjirou There’s someone I have to go see before I start training. Aoi Hmm… Well, that should be fine, I guess. Tanjirou Ms. Aoi! Aoi What is it? Tanjirou I’d like to ask you something. Is that okay? Aoi Sure. Tanjirou Let’s say there’s someone who’s all alone. How would you go about telling that person that they’re not alone in a way that would get through to that person? Aoi Well, I wouldn’t know the answer to that, but Mr. Tanjirou, you’re hoping to cheer that person up, right? If it were me, I’d want you to let me be. Are you leaving now? Tanjirou Oh, yes. Aoi Could you wait a minute, please? [Action: Aoi begins to walk off.] Aoi Oh… This person you’re going to see… It’s just one, right? Tanjirou Yes. [Action: Aoi walks off again.] Tanjirou Hmm… This sure is complicated… [Scene: Sometime later. Aoi holds a bundle of rice balls out for Tanjirou.] Aoi They’re very simple, but I made you some rice balls. For you and that person. Whatever you do, you need to eat your fill first, or you can never become healthy in body and soul. Tanjirou Ms. Aoi… Thank you! I’ll be on my way! [Action: Tanjirou leaves to see Tomioka. He arrives at his house.] Tanjirou Excuse me! Mr. Tomioka! Hello! Sorry to bother you! Mr. Giyuu! It’s me! Are you around? It’s Tanjirou Kamado! Hello! All right, I’m coming in! Tomioka (Thoughts) Coming in? No, he must’ve said he’s leaving. I misheard him. [Action: Tanjirou opens the front door and peers inside.] Tomioka Wha… [Action: Tanjirou sits right in front of Tomioka and explains his arrival.] Tanjirou So, long story short, everyone’s been training! Tomioka I know. Tanjirou What? So you knew? I’m glad to hear it! Tomioka (Thoughts) Too close… Tanjirou I’ll be cleared for active duty in seven days’ time, so do you think you could train me? Tomioka That’s a no. Tanjirou But why not? I’m catching a faint whiff of anger… but what are you mad about? Tomioka I’m angry that you didn’t master Water Breathing to perfection. You were supposed to become the Water Hashira. Tanjirou I’m very sorry about that. But I did talk about it with Mr. Urokodaki, and changing the style you start out using to develop a new breathing technique isn’t all that uncommon. And as the Water Breathing moves are particularly in line with the fundamentals, he says it’s spawned a lot of techniques. Tomioka That’s not what I’m talking about. Right now, in the absence of a Water Hashira, someone has to assume the mantle of Water Hashira sooner rather than later. Tanjirou In the absence of a Water Hashira? But we have you, Mr. Giyuu. Tomioka I am… not the Water Hashira. Tanjirou Huh? [Action: Tomioka gets up.] Tanjirou Oh… Tomioka Get out of here.

All right, I’m going to leave them here. [Scene: At dawn. Tomioka returns to his house and finds Tanjirou on the floor.] Tanjirou Mr. Giyuu! Good morning! So, you’ve had those rice balls! I’m glad to see that. [Action: Tomioka turns to leave.] Tanjirou Ah… Mr. Giyuu! Ah… Heh… [Action: Tanjirou follows Tomioka around town.] Tanjirou Mr. Giyuu! What’s going on, Mr. Giyuu? Mr. Giyuu! What’s the problem? Are you on patrol? It seems like there have been fewer demon sightings lately, right? No demons here, huh? Thank goodness! All right, let’s do some training now! [Scene: Later in the morning. Tanjirou stands outside Tomioka’s room.] Tanjirou Mr. Giyuu! Won’t you join us in training? Training! Everyone’s waiting for you! Mr. Giyuu! [Scene: Throughout the day. Tanjirou continues to bother Tomioka.] Tanjirou Mr. Giyuu. Mr. Giyuu! Mr. Giyuu? Mr. Giyuu! Mr. Giyuu! Tomioka Erk… Tanjirou Ahh~! Tomioka (Thoughts) Is he going to… keep this up for the rest of my life? (Thoughts) If I talk to him, will he stop stalking me? [Scene: Sometime later, in the mountains. Tanjirou continues to follow Tomioka.] Tomioka Haa… Tanjirou Oh… Tomioka I… never passed the Final Selection. Tanjirou What? Final Selection? You mean the trail on the mountain with wisteria flowers? Tomioka That’s right. That year, along with a boy whose family had also been killed by demons, a boy with peach-colored hair named Sabito, I took part in the Selection. [Scene: In the mountains. Tanjirou processes Tomioka’s words.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Sabito and Mr. Giyuu… Tomioka I was 13. We were the same age and all alone in the world. We became fast friends. Sabito had a strong sense of justice… and he had a kind and gentle heart. Y.Tomioka, Sabito (Flashback) Fufu… Hahaha! Tomioka The only one who died during that year’s Selection… was Sabito. He’d killed every demon on that mountain almost single-handedly. Demons (Flashback) Gah! Tomioka Everyone but Sabito passed that Final Seleciton. I was… wounded by the first demon that attacked me and was in a daze. Demon (Flashback) Grr… Tomioka At that moment… it was Sabito who saved me, too. Sabito (Flashback) Water Breathing, Fourth Form… Striking Tide! Demon (Flashback) Ahh! Y.Tomioka (Flashback) Ah… Ugh… Sabito (Flashback) Ngh… Boy (Flashback) Eek… Ah… Ahhh! Sabito (Flashback) Ah… Tomioka Leaving me in the care of another boy, Sabito ran off toward the voice pleading for help. When I came to, the Final Selection was over. It’s true that I’d survived for seven days and passed the Selection, but as I’d failed to defeat a single demon and had only been saved by another, could you really say that I’d passed? I’m not worthy of being the Water Hashira. <\|endoftext\|>

I’m not worthy of being the Water Hashira. And for that matter, I’m not even worthy of standing as an equal with the other Hashira. I’m not like them. Normally, there’d be no place for me in the Demon Slayer Corps. Have the Hashira train you. That would be best. I’ll never manifest a mark. Though it might have happened for Sabito. Just forget about me from now on. You’re only wasting your time. [Action: Tomioka walks off, leaving Tanjirou behind.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I’ll bet that Mr. Giyuu thinks he should’ve been the one to die. (Thoughts) I know all too well how that feels. When someone close to you that you wish had outlived you… ends up dying before you instead, and worse, dies protecting you… it leaves you feeling gutted with pain. (Thoughts) Sabito, the boy who trained me on Mt. Sagiri… That was such a strange experience. They were both already long dead, but they helped me. (Thoughts) I see. So, Sabito went through the Final Selection with Mr. Giyuu? (Thoughts) If he’d lived, he would’ve been the same age as Mr. Giyuu. (Thoughts) That’s amazing… So amazing. He saved everyone during the Selection. (Thoughts) It’s something I couldn’t do. It was all I could do to protect myself. (Thoughts) If Sabito were alive now, he would’ve become such an incredible swordsman. (Thoughts) That must be part of the reason why Mr. Giyuu feels he should’ve been the one to die. (Thoughts) I get that. I had that same thought myself. (Thoughts) Mr. Rengoku… risked his own life to protect us. He was an incredible man. (Thoughts) He was kinder than anyone else and stronger. (Thoughts) What an amazing way to live… right up to the end. (Thoughts) I wished I’d been the one to die instead of Mr. Rengoku. (Thoughts) I thought Mr. Rengoku might’ve been the one to kill Muzan one day. But… Inosuke (Flashback) He said he believes in you, so just think about how you’re going to measure up to that! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Right. Yes, that’s right. (Thoughts) Absolutely! But what should I say to Mr. Giyuu? (Thoughts) No matter how pathetic and embarrassed you may feel, you’ve got to go on living. Though he refuses to acknowledge it himself, I can imagine how hard he must’ve driven himself, whipped himself into shape to become a Hashira. Just how much suffering he must’ve gone through… (Thoughts) It’s not my place to criticize Mr. Giyuu when I know nothing about him. But… But there’s one thing that I just have to ask him. [Action: Tanjirou begins following Tomioka.] Tanjirou M-Mr. Giyuu! (Thoughts) Ugh, he won’t stop for me! Mr. Giyuu… Mr. Giyuu… Aren’t you going to pass on what Sabito entrusted to you? Y.Tomioka (Flashback) S-Sabito? Sabito (Flashback) Don’t ever say you should’ve died again! (Flashback) Next time you say it, you and I are through! I won’t be your friend anymore! (Flashback) Your big sister, who was supposed to be married the next day, knew what was going to happen when she hid you from the demons to protect you! You, of all people, shouldn’t be insulting your sister’s memory! <\|endoftext\|>

Y.Tomioka (Flashback) Ngh… Ugh… Ngh… Tomioka (Thoughts) Remembering made my grief unbearable, and it left me utterly helpless. Y.Tomioka (Flashback) Ahhh! Tomioka (Thoughts) Big Sis Tsutako… Sabito… Sorry that I’m so immature. Tanjirou (Thoughts) Uh-oh… Now he’s standing stock-still. (Thoughts) What should I do? Was that harsh of me? Mr. Giyuu seemed pretty down already, so did I make it worse? (Thoughts) I know! How about a speed eating contest? (Thoughts) If I win the contest, I’ll say, “Let’s cheer up and get some training in,” or something. (Thoughts) Since I haven’t been cleared for active duty yet, it’s not like I can spar with him or anything… and Mr. Giyuu may be a man of few words, but he wouldn’t have to talk during a speed eating contest! What a brilliant idea! Tomioka Tanjirou… It’s a little late, but I’ll join the in the training -- Tanjirou Mr. Giyuu! Wanna take me on in a cold soba noodle speed eating contest? Tomioka (Thoughts) Why? [Scene: Sometime later, in the city. Tanjirou and Tomioka have a speed eating contest.] Tomioka Listen, about the training program, I didn’t hear any mention of Kochou. What’s Kochou teaching you all? Tanjirou Ms. Shinobu? Come to think of it, I haven’t heard anything. I wonder how she is. [Scene: At Shinobu’s house. Shinobu sits in her room in front of an altar.] Shinobu (Thoughts) Calm down. It’s all right. (Thoughts) Big Sis… Help me calm down. (Thoughts) Only the immature fail to control their emotions. The immature… [Action: Veins pop in Shinobu’s forehead.] Kanao Master… You’ve returned, then? I’m leaving now to be trained by the Wind Hashira. Shinobu I see. Kanao Can your training session wait until after the Stone Hashira’s? Shinobu I won’t be able to take part in the Hashira Training this time around. Kanao What? B-But why? Shinobu Kanao, come over here. Kanao Okay. [Action: Shinobu and Kanao sit across from each other.] Kanao Um… Um… I want to train with you more, Master. Shinobu Ah… Heh… I can see you’ve learned to be much more candid about voicing your feelings. That’s a good sign. Just as I thought, the timing is just right. I’d like to tell you… about the demon who killed my older sister, Kanae. Kanao Huh? Shinobu And… let me also tell you… how to go about killing that demon.

The Demon Slayer Corps continues their Hashira training.] Uzui Too slow! Too slow! Let’s see some fire! I don’t believe how slow you are! It’s going to get dark soon! [Action: Uzui hits a Demon Slayer with his wooden sword.] Slayer Guh! Uzui Swing those arms more! Throw your legs forward! Slayer Ngh… Yes, sir! Grrr… Urahhh! [Action: The Demon Slayer runs past Uzui’s block.] Uzui Come on, let’s hear you shout! [Scene: In the forest. The Demon Slayers continue their training with Uzui.] Slayers One, two… Uzui Think of it this way! You can’t move on to the next step without boosting your basic stamina! It all starts with the basics! The basics! Slayer Gah… [Action: Uzui stabs a Demon Slayer in the stomach with his wooden sword.] Slayer Gahh! Ugh! Uzui You’re so not going to make it through Shinazugawa and Kanroji’s training after this! You slacker… Slayers I’m so sorry! (Thoughts) It’s hell… (Thoughts) It’s hell here, too! Ah! (Thoughts) There’s only hell in store for us! Uzui Come on! Keep it together, dammit! Jeez… Tanjirou Mr. Uzui! Uzui Oh? Hey! [Action: Tanjirou runs toward Uzui and the rest of the Demon Slayers.] Tanjirou Haha! Uzui Is that you, Kamado? Hey there! Long time no see! Tanjirou Yes! It’s been a long time! I’m so glad to see you doing well, Mr. Uzui! Uzui Hah! If you can call this “well”! [Action: Uzui flicks his eyepatch.] Uzui Look at what I’ve become! Tanjirou Heh… Uzui I hear that you took on another Upper Rank! You’re a lucky guy to still be intact! Tanjirou Yes, fortunately, I managed to survive somehow! Uzui Right! Well, after all that rest, you can shatter the rust off your body here! Tanjirou Right! I’m going to give it my all! [Action: Tanjirou joins in Uzui’s training. He easily overcomes the physical tests.] [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou finds Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma.] Suma Hm? Oh, wow! Long time no see! Hinatsuru Tanjirou! Makio You’re finally here, huh? Tanjirou You’re all looking as well as ever! Thank you for all you did for me! Makio Hey, why are you sounding so formal? Hinatsuru After all, you’re the one who saved us. Suma Look at you now! Makio Yeah, you’re looking manly! Tanjirou Heh… Uzui You guys, you need to eat up more! Tanjirou, Suma Oh… Suma Hehehe… Uzui If you don’t eat, the afternoon session will be even more grueling! Slayers What?! Uzui If you don’t finish your meal, I’m going to add more drills to the session. Slayers We’ll eat! We’ll eat! Tanjirou Haha… Okay, then me, too! Makio Here you go! Hinatsuru Have a lot, okay? Tanjirou Okay! Thank you for the meal! [Action: Tanjirou sits down for his meal.] Makio If you don’t empty this pot, Lord Tengen is going to tack on more drills! Slayers Haa… Hm? Listen, you’re on patrol tonight, right? Yeah. Could you switch with me? Not a chance. If you go on night patrol, you’re excused from training in the morning. Haa… Uzui Jeez… [Scene: At night. <\|endoftext\|>

Listen, you’re on patrol tonight, right? Yeah. Could you switch with me? Not a chance. If you go on night patrol, you’re excused from training in the morning. Haa… Uzui Jeez… [Scene: At night. Two Demon Slayers go on patrol.] Slayer 1 We sure haven’t been seeing any demons lately, huh? Slayer 2 Well, that in itself is pretty scary. Slayer 1 I hear it’s because the demons are searching for a girl named Nezuko. Slayer 2 That’s just speculation, isn’t it? It’s not like anyone actually asked a demon in person. Slayer 1 Well, yeah, sure. But wouldn’t it be great if they could just be gone forever? Slayer 2 That’s probably not realistic. I mean, demon slaying has been going on for a thousand years. [Action: The lantern goes out.] Slayer 1 Ah… Huh? H-Hey… Where are you? Huh? Ah… [Action: One of the Demon Slayers breathes heavily. He prepares to draw his sword, but the other jumps out from behind a wall.] Slayer 2 Boo! Slayer 1 Ahh! Slayer 2 Who knows? One could pop up like this from the alley. Slayer 1 D-Don’t be such a jerk! Slayer 2 Hey, my bad. Slayer 1 Ngh… [Action: The Demon Slayers hear a sound coming from the alleyway.] Slayers Huh? Slayer 1 Enough’s enough, okay? We’re going to take this seriously! Slayer 2 Yeah… [Action: The Demon Slayers walk away. Nakime’s eye follows them.] [Scene: The next morning. Uzui’s training starts again.] Uzui All right! Let’s move on to the next drill! Split up into pairs! [Action: Tanjirou carries another Demon Slayer on his back.] Tanjirou Ngh! Here I go! [Action: Tanjirou runs off with the Demon Slayer.] Slayers Woah! So fast… Uzui Come on now! You guys show me what you’re made of, too! Slayer Gah! Ugh… So, there’s no way you can fight an Upper Rank unless you have that kind of insane stamina? [Scene: Sometime later. The Demon Slayers sit down for lunch.] Slayer Those Upper Ranks are crazy strong, right? Tanjirou Sure, more than you can believe. Mm… Slayer What’s it like? Tanjirou Well, let’s see… There’s a “pow”! And you’ve already been hit. Slayer Ah… Tanjirou But the fact that you’re not dead means you were able to respond, so then you turn around, only to get slammed again… Slayer Ah… Ah… Tanjirou … and next, you feel a “crunch”! And if that cuts off the oxygen to your brain -- Slayer All right, gotcha! We’ve heard enough! So, I guess there is a world that’s beyond the comprehension of us ordinary folks. Yeah. Tanjirou Mmm… [Scene: Sometime later. The Hashira training finishes.] Uzui All right! Let’s wrap things up for today! Let’s see… [Action: Uzui points to a mountain in the distance.] Uzui Today, you’re hitting that mountain! Take a lap around its foot and come back! Slayers What? Uzui If you don’t get a move on, no dinner for you! Hinatsuru, Makio, Suma Heh… Uzui Come on, guys, run! Get going already! If you can’t even take this, you’re not gonna cut it! Hinatsuru Fufufu… Lord Tengen has a way of giving them the rough side of his tongue… Suma … but he’s actually a real softie! Makio Like, the other day, he refused to eat his own meal until the last Demon Slayer came back, and in the end, we went all the way to the mountain to get him! Suma Hahahaha! [Action: Uzui pats Maki <\|endoftext\|>

[Action: Uzui pats Makio on the head.] Makio Ah… Uzui I can hear every word you say. Makio Hahahaha… Uzui The Master put these Demon Slayers in my care, and I can’t let them flame out on my watch. Makio Yes, of course not. Hinatsuru Fufufufu… Tanjirou All right, I’ll be heading out, too! Uzui Right! Go take a quick spin! [Action: Tanjirou runs off to join the rest of the Demon Slayers.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Everyone with the potential to become a Hashira is kind deep down inside! [Scene: In the past, at a restaurant. Tanjirou and Tomioka have their soba eating competition.] Tanjirou (Flashback) Hey, Mister! Another tray, please! Chef (Flashback) You got it! Tanjirou (Past Thoughts) I can’t take much more of this… But I gotta win, or I won’t be able to keep my promise to the Master! (Past Thoughts) I have to do all that I can so Mr. Giyuu will join the rest of us! Tomioka (Flashback) Can I get another? Tanjirou (Flashback) Huh?! Chef (Flashback) You got it! Customers (Flashback) Wha… Tomioka (Flashback) You say that I have to take part in the training if I lose this match… but does that mean I don’t have to if I win? Tanjirou (Flashback) Huh? Th-That’s not… [Action: The chef brings two more trays of soba.] Chef (Flashback) Okay, here you go! Tanjirou (Flashback) Ah… Chef (Flashback) One for you, too! Tomioka (Flashback) Mister… Bring him one more. Tanjirou (Flashback) Huh?! Chef (Flashback) Gotcha! Tanjirou (Flashback) Ah… Tomioka (Flashback) I’m calling it quits after this tray. (Flashback) In other words, if you eat that extra order, you’ll have defeated me. (Flashback) If I then take part in the Hashira Training, you’ll be satisfied, right? Tanjirou (Flashback) Yes! That would make me happy! Tomioka (Flashback) Then finish every last noodle. Tanjirou (Flashback) All right! (Past Thoughts) I’m sure… Mr. Giyuu can still go on eating! Even so… I’m bursting! I’m bursting! I’m bursting!! [Scene: In the evening. Iguro finds Shinazugawa.] Iguro I got here late. Shinazugawa I only just got here myself. So? How’s your training going? Iguro Never in a million years could I see them as becoming assets against an Upper Rank. Shinazugawa Haa… You could say the same about mine. Iguro However, training the Corps members is what the Master wants. Shinazugawa Yeah. Iguro So, what did you want at this hour? Shinazugawa Tsk… It’s been bugging me all this time. Iguro You mean what happened at that castle? Shinazugawa You and I drove the demons to the brink together. But then, they all vanished somewhere. Iguro Right. That many of them disappeared without a trace in a flash. Shinazugawa Yeah. Iguro I’ve been pondering myself ever since that day… what could be behind that door. That there might actually be a demon hideout we don’t know about. Shinazugawa A hideout, huh? Since that day, I’ve looked into that castle numerous times only to come up empty. Iguro Right around that time, the demons all vanished from the cities at once. Shinazugawa So, they’re after Kamado’s little sist <\|endoftext\|>

Something huge might be about to start. Shinazugawa Hmph… Whatever starts, I’ll be happy to bring it all to an end! Iguro Don’t you think this might be a bad omen for the Demon Slayer Corps? So long as I’m training the Corps members, it keeps me distracted. But I look at the situation with a dispassionate eye, and I can’t help being aware of what’s to come. That this stillness… might be the harbinger of a storm. Shinazugawa Going on and on about it now isn’t going to get us anywhere. Iguro I do have a proposal for you. Shinazugawa Heh… And I happen to have one for you, too. Mind if I tell you mine first? Take me on in a match! Iguro What a coincidence. That’s just what I was going to propose. [Scene: At Uzui’s training camp. Tanjirou brings a pot inside a shed.] Tanjirou I’m going to leave it right here, okay? Suma Oh, thank you, Tanjirou! Hinatsuru Here, drink this. [Action: Hinatsuru gives Tanjirou a cup of tea.] Suma That’s high-quality gyokuro tea! Makio It’s good for recovering from fatigue! Tanjirou Oh, really? Thank you, then! [Action: Tanjirou drinks the tea.] Tanjirou It’s delicious… Hinatsuru Tanjirou, we’ve been wanting to thank you again for what you did at the Entertainment District. Suma Thank you! Tanjirou Huh? Makio We’re really grateful to you! Tanjirou Oh, but… it wasn’t just me, so… Hinatsuru You, your little sister, that boar kid, the young man with the yellow hair, and Lord Tengen… If even one of you hadn’t been there, I don’t think we could’ve seen the sunrise that morning. For Lord Tengen and all three of us to have made it home alive together… Really, what could it have been but a miracle? [Action: Hinatsuru begins to cry.] Hinatsuru Mm… Makio Hinatsuru… Hinatsuru But… the truth is Lord Tengen still wants to fight. Suma He’s always calling out in his sleep. Makio All this time, he’s been blaming himself for leaving the Corps. Hinatsuru Tanjirou… Please defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, all right? Tanjirou Yes. I promise. [Scene: In the late evening. Uzui gathers the Demon Slayers.] Uzui All right, you guys! Listen up! I’m calling off the long-distance mountain run that we finish up with every day! And I’m replacing it with a special drill that’s close to actual combat! Head to the mountain! [Action: The Demon Slayers head to the mountains at night.] Uzui Battles with demons always happen at night. That’s why we have to hone our combat skills in the dark. Strain to see in the dark, and what you can’t see you’ll just have to sense! Starting now, I’m a demon. I’m a demon that’s going to devour you. Let’s see you try to survive somehow. And Kamado, your job is to bring me down while protecting the rest of these guys! Slayer Ah… [Action: Uzui hits a Demon Slayer with his wooden sword.] Slayers Gah! Ah… Ngh… Ah… Hey! Here he comes!

Slayer I-Impossible… A-Against a Hashira, we don’t stand a chance! [Action: Uzui comes up behind a Demon Slayer.] Slayer Ah! Uzui Would you say the same thing to a demon? Slayer Huh? Erk! [Action: Uzui knocks out another Demon Slayer.] Tanjirou Mr. Uzui is a former Hashria, so if we hit him with any half-hearted attacks, he’ll see right through them all! Stay together! Everyone, come close to me, stand back to back, and don’t leave yourselves open in any way! Slayers Ngh… [Action: The Demon Slayers run toward Tanjirou, but Uzui catches up to them instantly.] Uzui Too slow! Too slow! Way too slow! [Action: Uzui swings at the Demon Slayers, but Tanjirou blocks the attack.] Tanjirou Ngh… Slayers Ngh… Gahh! Ugh… Uzui Hey, not bad, Kamado. Tanjirou (Thoughts) His strength with just one hand… That’s Mr. Uzui for you! Ngh! [Action: Tanjirou breaks the parry.] Uzui Come on now! Come at me again! Tanjirou Yes, sir! Ngh… Ngh! [Action: Tanjirou continues to fight Uzui.] Slayers A-Amazing… He’s holding his own against a former Hashira! [Action: Uzui kicks Tanjirou away.] Tanjirou Gah!

Uzui finishes beating the Demon Slayers.] Uzui You guys, how could you let a retired guy like me clobber you like this? Haa… Jeez, can’t you even show me some bravado? Slayer We don’t stand a chance. Uzui Huh? Slayer Against a former Hashira… You’re asking too much! Uzui Look, you! I didn’t train you to make you freak out! Slayer I know that! Uzui Hm? Slayers The Hashira and Kamado might be able to defeat the Upper Ranks and Muzan Kibutsuji! This has given me that hope! Me, too! M-Me, too! Me, too!

She’s still as insulting as ever… [Action: The other Demon Slayers begin leaving the training area.] Slayers What a loudmouth. Get lost, will you? Toki.Crow Huh?! You shut your mouth! Or I’ll gouge out your eyes! Tanjirou Hey, Tokitou! Long time no see! I look forward to being trained by your starting today! Tokitou Same here, Tanjirou. Will you come with me for a second? [Action: The Demon Slayers wash themselves off as Tokitou leads Tanjirou to another building.] Toki.Crow Use that water sparingly! Tan.Crow You need to shut up! Toki.Crow Huh?! [Action: Tokitou enters the building.] Tokitou We’re coming in. Kanamori Well, hello, Lord Tokitou! Tanjirou Mr. Kanamori! Kanamori Hmm? Well, if it isn’t Tanjirou! You seem like you’ve healed up quite nicely! Thank goodness! Tanjirou Yes! Thank you very much! So, what are you doing here? Tokitou I asked him to come. Tanjirou Huh? [Action: Tokitou takes a sword off the wall.] Tokitou Tanjirou, would you mind holding this? [Action: Tokitou gives Tanjirou the blade.] Tokitou Step back a little with the blade facing me. [Action: Tanjirou does as he’s told.] Tanjirou Like this? Tokitou Stand there without moving. [Action: Tokitou throws a paper airplane at the sword. It splits cleanly in two.] Tokitou Well? Tanjirou It’s amazingly sharp! Tokitou That’s why I wanted Mr. Kanamori here. Tanjirou Then, Mr. Kanamori, you’re… Kanamori Yes. I’m here on a permanent basis tending to his swords. Tokitou I’d like my swords to always be in the best possible condition, ready for battle. When I made that request, the Master told me I could do as I wished. Tanjirou The Master? Tokitou And… he even built me this room for honing my swords. Although I wish he’d focus more on taking care of himself… we’re always first and foremost in his thoughts. We should really be grateful for that, right? [Scene: In the late afternoon. Tokitou’s training continues. Tokitou knocks a wooden sword out of a Demon Slayer’s hands.] Slayer Ngh… Tokitou You’re leaving yourself wide open. Pick up your wooden sword. [Action: The Demon Slayer picks up his wooden sword.] Slayer Ngh… Ugh… Urahhh! [Action: The Demon Slayer charges forward, but Tokitou easily dodges and hits him in the back.] Slayer Ah! Tanjirou Hahaha… Tokitou You’ll never be a match for your opponent if you attack emotionally, all right? More like a moth flying into a flame, actually. There are no do-overs when you battle a demon. Even if you’re 9-1, that one loss could be fatal. You need to hone every one of your movements to gain the skills that will help you survive. Slayer Ngh… Tokitou Let’s call it a day, then. [Action: Tokitou leaves the training area.] Slayers Ngh… Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you? Tanjirou Hmm… Slayers Hey, Kamado. Tanjirou Hm? Slayers Do you think you could ask the Hashira to ease up a little with the drills? If this keeps up, we’re gonna collapse before we ever take on a demon. Tanjirou Hmm… But… I think this must be hardest on Tokitou himself. He’s the one who’s been training us nonstop on his own. Slayer You have a point there. Tanjirou Right? [ <\|endoftext\|>

Tanjirou rinses his face.] Tanjirou Haa… Slayer Here’s a towel. Tanjirou Thanks. Slayers It would be great if he could at least drop that tone with us. It’s pretty soul-crushing, isn’t it? Uh-huh! Tanjirou But to me, it seems like he’s actually toned it down some compared to before. Slayers Seriously? It’s hopeless. Tanjirou Ah… [Action: Tanjirou sees Tokitou leaving through a gate some distance away.] Tanjirou Tokitou? I wonder where he’s going. Slayers The Hashira always goes out somewhere at nightfall. He’s probably having dinner, I guess. [Scene: At night, in an empty area. Shinazugawa and Iguro spar.] Shinazugawa Wind Breathing… Fourth Form… Rising Dust Storm! Iguro Serpent Breathing, Fifth Form… Slithering Serpent! [Action: Shinazugawa blocks Iguro’s attack and knocks him away.] Shinazugawa Ugh… Ngh… Even… Iguro … is what we seem to be. Tokitou Let me join in, too. Iguro Tokitou, huh? Shinazugawa You come all this way out here every day. That doesn’t affect your daytime training? Tokitou It might suffice as training for the Corps members, but it’s not enough for me. Shinazugawa Heh… Well, yeah. For us, this is the real Hashira Training. Tokitou Right. It’s not fair, you know, leaving out the rest of us. Iguro All right, to show our respect for you, Tokitou, Shinazugawa and I will take you on two against one. Let’s go. Tokitou Both of you? That’s hardly fair. Ready when… you are! Iguro Ngh… [Action: Tokitou launches forward. Iguro swings but misses.] Iguro Ah… [Action: Shinazugawa swings at Tokitou. Tokitou blocks the attack.] Shinazugawa Ngh! [Action: Shinazugawa swings again but misses. Tokitou blocks his attack and pushes Shinazugawa away.] Shinazugawa Ngh… Ugh! [Action: The three Hashira continue to spar.] Toki.Crow Nice going! Just demolish those two! You’re so incredible! Shinazugawa Shut up! [Action: Shinazugawa sends a small attack at Tokitou’s crow.] Toki.Crow Gah! [Scene: Sometime later. Tokitou, Shinazugawa, and Iguro end their spar.] Shinazugawa Phew… Today’s training hit hard again. If we’d lost focus for even a second, someone could’ve gotten hurt for real. Iguro Well, otherwise, there’d be no point in training. Shinazugawa Taking on the Corps members by day, combat-style training with you guys by night… Heh… Not bad at all. Iguro Tokitou, how’s your daytime training going? Tokitou Tanjirou came today. Iguro Mm… Shinazugawa That guy? Talk about stubbornly refusing to die! Tokitou It looks like his wounds are healing up, and he’ll probably be fully recovered by the time he gets to your place, Mr. Iguro. Iguro Is that right? Then, that means I can be thorough with him, right? Shinazugawa Just because he got somewhat stronger, it doesn’t mean he’s anywhere near a match for a Hashira! We’ll show him! Tokitou That sounds like fun! Good luck, Tanjirou! [Scene: In the morning, at Tokitou’s training area. Tokitou launches toward a Demon Slayer.] Slayer Eek! Tokitou All right, you’re dead. <\|endoftext\|>

You, there… You’ve stopped moving. [Action: Tokitou hits another Demon Slayer.] Slayer Ah… Gah! Tokitou All right, you’re dead, too. You know what? I’m not sensing enough urgency. Why don’t we try training with real swords? Slayers Huh? Tokitou Bring us some real swords. Slayer R-Right! [Action: Another Demon Slayer prepares to face Tokitou with a real sword.] Slayer Ngh… Tokitou All right. Let’s begin. Slayer B-But… Tokitou Take your stance. Slayer I-I can’t… I can’t do this! Tokitou Come on. Slayer Ah… Ngh… Ah… Ah… [Action: The Demon Slayer breathes heavily and prepares to fight.] Tanjirou Tokitou, I think that’s -- Slayer I’m sorry! [Action: The Demon Slayer falls to the ground.] Slayer Ngh… Huh? Ah… Ah… Tokitou You didn’t attack me blindly, which might be a sign of growth. Slayer Ngh… I already know. Compared to you, I have no clue how grueling battles can be. Not only that, but I also know that you go somewhere every night, and that underneath your clothing, you’re all covered in bruises. I’ve seen you cooling them off with water early in the morning. We’re going to work hard to get better, so… Tokitou I think you’re all doing as well as you can. But even so, that doesn’t mean you can win. I don’t want you to get killed by a demon. If possible, I want you to live long lives. That’s how I really feel. Tanjirou Tokitou… [Scene: Several days later. Tanjirou trains with Tokitou.] Tokitou That’s right! Tanjirou, you’ve gotten even faster than before! Tanjirou Ngh… Ngh! [Action: Tanjirou blocks Tokitou’s attack.] Tokitou You’ve got to make the switch from relaxing and tensing up your muscles more fluid. [Action: Tanjirou and Tokitou continue sparring.] Tanjirou Ngh! Tokitou That’s good! Yes, like that! That way, your stamina will last longer. Tanjirou Urah! [Action: Tanjirou brings his sword down. Tokitou barely blocks it.] Tokitou Ah… Heh… Your legs and lower back are in sync! You’ve nailed it! You can move on to the next Hashira, Tanjirou! Tanjirou Huh? Already? Tokitou Sure! Tanjirou But it’s only been five days! Tokitou But you’ve mastered everything I told you to do! Tanjirou What~? Slayers Th-Then, can we go, too? Since we’ve been here for two weeks now. Tokitou What are you talking about? You’re not going anywhere. If you’re done taking dry swings, go practice striking until the dummy breaks. Slayer Can you believe the difference? Tanjirou Ah… Oh! Tokitou! Tokitou Hm? Tanjirou Let’s have a paper airplane tossing contest! Tokitou Where did that come from? [Action: Tanjirou presents his paper airplane.] Tanjirou Ta-dah! I heard that you’re into paper airplanes, Tokitou. And since that’s something that’s not quite out of my reach… Kanamori (Flashback) Lord Tokitou’s hobbies, you say? Well, let’s see… Oh, the one thing that comes to mind is paper airplanes, I guess. Tanjirou (Flashback) Paper airplanes? Kanamori (Flashback) Yes. There are tons of them here. Tanjirou (Flashback) Woah! If I win, you’ll speak to the Corps mem <\|endoftext\|>

Tanjirou (Flashback) Woah! If I win, you’ll speak to the Corps members just a little more gently. What do you say? Tokitou Ahh… Sure, fine with me. Tanjirou I’m not going to lose! Tokitou You’re not going to beat me. Slayer You sure are a good guy! Tanjirou Hahahaha… [Scene: Sometime later, outside. Tanjirou and Tokitou prepare to battle their paper airplanes.] Tanjirou Out of ten rounds, if I can make my plane fly longer even once, I win. Are you sure about that? Tokitou Yes, since you won’t be able to beat me even once. Tanjirou Hey! You’d think at least once… Tokitou Are we doing this or not? Tanjirou You bet we are! Kanamori All right! When I signal, please toss them at the same time! One, two, three, go! [Action: Tanjirou and Tokitou fly their paper airplanes. Tokitou’s flies in a straight line while Tanjirou’s flips around.] Tanjirou Huh? Kanamori Winner, Lord Tokitou! Slayers You can do it, Kamado! Better luck next time! Kanamori Go! [Action: Tanjirou and Tokitou fly their planes again several more times. Tanjirou’s flies toward the ground.] Kanamori Winner, Lord Tokitou! Go! W-Winner, Lord Tokitou. Go! Winner, Lord Tokitou… Tanjirou Oh, no! Down to my last try! Kanamori Give it all you’ve got, Tanjirou! Tanjirou Right… I only have to win once, after all… [Action: Tanjirou flies his plane for the last time.] Tanjirou I lost… Tokitou Didn’t I tell you that you couldn’t win? Tanjirou Ngh… But I thought I could beat you at least once! Slayer Hashira! Tanjirou, Tokitou Oh… Slayers Would it be all right if I challenged you, too? I’m really good with paper airplanes! Me, too! I once beat everyone in my village! Hey, I came in first at my village’s paper airplane contest! Wanna take me on? I’m in, too! Bring some paper! Paper! Tanjirou Heh… [Action: The Demon Slayers begin making paper airplanes.] Slayers All right! I made one, and it’s looking good! Hehe! I’m done! Ahh! Hahaha! Tokitou Would you mind letting me take a look at it? Slayer Hehehehe… Toki.Crow Hmph! Tanjirou Fufu… [Action: Tanjirou prepares to battle Tokitou again.] Tanjirou This time for sure! [Action: Tokitou’s crow rips up Tanjirou’s airplane.] Toki.Crow Hmph! Tanjirou, Kanamori Ahh! Tan.Crow What’s the big idea, ugly bird?! Toki.Crow Oh, shut up, bottom-feeder! Tan.Crow What?! Why don’t you shut up?! Toki.Crow I’m not the one who needs to shut up! Tan.Crow Caw! Toki.Crow Grr! [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou, Tokitou, and the other Demon Slayers prepare to fly their paper planes.] Tanjirou You guys, are you ready? Slayers Yeah! Tanjirou Ready… Go! [Action: Tanjirou, Tokitou, and the other Demon Slayers fly their planes.] [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou meets privately with Tokitou.] Tanjirou I think it’s true that Muzan Kibutsuji is coming after Nezuko, who’s conquered the sun. We’ve hardly run into any demons lately, after all. Tokitou That is precisely why this Hashira Training is in session now. Tanjirou I was worried about being away from Nezuko, but if I were to take her with me on my missions, I’d be playing right int <\|endoftext\|>

Tan.Crow What’s the big idea, ugly bird?! Toki.Crow Oh, shut up, bottom-feeder! Tan.Crow What?! Why don’t you shut up?! Toki.Crow I’m not the one who needs to shut up! Tan.Crow Caw! Toki.Crow Grr!

Tokitou That is precisely why this Hashira Training is in session now. Tanjirou I was worried about being away from Nezuko, but if I were to take her with me on my missions, I’d be playing right into his hands. It’s too dangerous. Tokitou Not only would the demons, seeking Nezuko, gather in force, but Kibutsuji might end up going into hiding. Tanjirou Right. I’m going to keep training, get stronger than I am now, and then I’ll go get Nezuko. Tokitou Fufu… I like how you’re always so positive, Tanjirou. Tanjirou I can be that way because right now, someone I trust a lot is staying with Nezuko. Tokitou Tanjirou. Tanjirou Huh? Tokitou Let’s defeat Kibutsuji together for sure. Tanjirou Yeah.

Kanroji You, too, Tanjirou! Tanjirou Are you raising bees? [Action: Tanjirou sniffs the air.] Tanjirou I’m catching the delicious scent of honey! Kanroji Oh, so you’ve found me out? That’s right! See, if you spread the honey on a slice of bread, it’s mind-bogglingly yummy! You also heap on some butter!

Tanjirou Right… So, is this place… (Thoughts) … an execution ground? The people tied up here… Did they commit some kind of crime? Iguro Well, you could say that. The crime of weakness, the crime of failing to learn, the crime of wasting my time, and the crime of annoying me. That’s it in a nutshell. Tanjirou (Thoughts) Oh, boy! What am I going to do? Iguro Take this. [Action: Iguro throws a wooden sword at Tanjirou.] Tanjirou Ah… Iguro I’m going to show you how it’s done just once.

This man’s sword strikes twist and turn in an abnormal way! [Action: Iguro strikes Tanjirou again through the beams, the sword curving like a snake.] Tanjirou Gahhh! Gah… Iguro You’re slow. Tanjirou (Thoughts) We’re both welding the same kind of wooden sword, so how can it bend like that? (Thoughts) Those strikes slither into the narrowest of spaces! Just like a serpent! (Thoughts) On top of that, I just can’t unhear the inner voices of my fellow trainees as I aim for the gaps between them! Slayer (Thoughts) Please, please, please, please, please!

The other Demon Slayers rest on the side.] Slayer Kamado… How can you keep going after training so hard with the Hashira? Tanjirou Ngh… Ngh! Because I don’t want to make trouble… for the rest of you!

Tanjirou (Thoughts) I’d never felt this much tension, and my hands shook like crazy! If I don’t swing my sword with pinpoint accuracy, things will get ghastly! [Action: Tanjirou brings his sword back to strike but hits a Demon Slayer behind him.] Slayer Gah! Tanjirou Ah! Sorry! [Scene: In the late afternoon. Tanjirou continues to practice his swings. The other Demon Slayers rest on the side.] Slayer Kamado… How can you keep going after training so hard with the Hashira? Tanjirou Ngh… Ngh! Because I don’t want to make trouble… for the rest of you! Slayers Ahh… How about we join in, too? Yeah, why not? [Scene: Sometime later. The Demon Slayers get ready for a bath.] Tanjirou This is going to make our cuts sting, right? Slayers Ngh… This is so going to hurt… Let’s go, then. Come on! Yeah… All together now. Tanjirou, Slayers Ready, set… [Action: The Demon Slayers jump into the bath.] Tanjirou, Slayers Gahhh!!

[Action: Tanjirou swings but hits the pillar.] Tanjirou Ngh… (Thoughts) I gotta focus on battling Mr. Iguro and nothing else!

[Action: Tanjirou runs through the area. Iguro swings, and Tanjirou parries.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I’m starting to be able to strike with more accurate sword skills than I ever have before! (Thoughts) I can evade Mr. Iguro’s attacks… and unleash my own attacks on him, too! [Action: Tanjirou goes on the offense. He cuts through part of Iguro’s haori.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) When you land a strike… and slash one of Mr. Iguro’s haori sleeves… they say that you’re done training! [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou prepares to leave for the next training area.] Tanjirou Thank you very much! Iguro See you. Now go die, you good-for-nothing. Don’t talk to Kanroji like you’re chums!

I-I-It took me forever to get this far! I came crawling along these walls! Masking my presence like a lizard! It’s a matter of life or death! I’m going to be killed! Tanjirou Ah! Zenitsu Gahh! [Action: Shinazugawa grabs Zenitsu’s head.] Zenitsu Ah… Gahh… Ahh… Shinazugawa Make your choice! Either come back to training or be killed by me! Zenitsu No~! Please spare me! Tanj <\|endoftext\|>

[Action: Tanjirou puts Zenitsu on his back.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Sorry, Zenitsu. Let’s get through this together. It’s been a long time! I’ll be training under you starting today! I’m looking forward to it! Shinazugawa Don’t get too cocky. It’s not like I’ve accepted you, all right? Tanjirou That doesn’t bother me at all! Since I don’t accept you, either! Because you stabbed Nezuko! [Action: Tanjirou walks past Shinazugawa.] Shinazugawa You’ve got some nerve! [Scene: At Shinazugawa’s training area.

(Narration) It was a simple striking drill in which we all assaulted Mr. Shinazugawa… [Action: Two Demon Slayers attack Shinazugawa, but he knocks them aside easily.] Slayer Ahh…! Tanjirou (Narration) … but until we spewed vomit… Slayer Ah! [Action: Shinazugawa knocks out another Demon Slayer.] Tanjirou (Narration) … and blacked out, the session would go on. And until then, there were no breaks! (Narration) Even Mr. Iguro gave us more breaks! Iguro (Flashback) Hmph. Tanjirou (Narration) When Zenitsu came to, he berated me as if he were avenging his parents’ death. Zenitsu (Flashback) Grr… Damn you, you jerk! Tanjirou (Flashback) Ow, ow, ow! Sorry, okay? Zenitsu (Flashback) Damn you, damn you, damn you! Tanjirou (Narration) Mr. Shinzugawa was especially harsh on me, and if I let my guard down for even a second, I’d be seriously wounded and find myself right back in treatment! [Action: Shinazugawa strikes Tanjirou in the face.] Tanjirou Gahh! (Thoughts) I can’t be starting off like this! [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou heads to his rest chambers.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Battered and bruised and covered in my own vomit… It’s so soul-crushing! Genya Hey, wait up, Big Brother! Tanjirou Ah… (Thoughts) That’s Genya’s voice. Genya There’s something I want to tell you. Shinazugawa You need to give it a rest. I don’t have a younger brother! If you don’t back off, I’m going to destroy you. Genya Ahh… Ah… Tanjirou (Thoughts) That’s not like our sibling fights. Tanjirou (Flashback) Do you surrender? Hahaha! Shigeru (Flashback) Cut it out, Big Bro! Shinazugawa Stop talking to me like we’re close! Genya Ah… Shinazugawa And since you have zero skills from the looks of you, just quit the Demon Slayer Corps. Genya Ah… Shinazugawa If you can’t even use breathing techniques don’t call yourself a swordsman! Genya But… [Action: Shinazugawa walks off.] Genya H-Hold up, Big Brother! I’ve been wanting to apologize <\|endoftext\|>

What are you doing, destroying the building like that?! Tanjirou Please stop now! [Action: Shinazugawa stomps toward Tanjirou and Genya.] Zenitsu (Thoughts) What’s that twisted, ominous sound? (Thoughts) Woah! So the old guy’s on a rampage, huh?! Are we going to get clobbered outside the training ground, too?! Tanjirou What are you going to do? Are you planning to kill Genya?! Shinazugawa Hell no. I’m not going to kill him. It would be easy enough to kill him, but since it’s against the rules and all… I’m going to ruin him beyond recovery! But listen, if you quit the Demon Slayer Corps right now, I’ll let you go. Tanjirou Don’t give me that! There’s no way you have that kind of authority! Don’t try to force him to quit! You just said yourself that you had no younger brother, right? So no matter what choices Genya makes, you can’t butt in! Whether he has the ability or not, he’s made up his mind to risk his life fighting demons! If you’re not his big brother, then I won’t let you get in his way, no matter what! Without Genya, we wouldn’t have defeated that Upper Rank! No way am I going to let you ruin him beyond recovery! Shinazugawa Is that right? Then I’ll ruin you beyond recovery first! Tanjirou Ngh… [Action: Shinazugawa prepares to fight.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Here he comes… He’s coming! [Action: Shinazugawa appears before Tanjirou in an instant.] Tanjirou Ah! Shinazugawa Ngh! [Action: Shinazugawa tries to punch Tanjirou in the stomach, but Tanjirou grabs onto his wrist.] Tanjirou Gah! Zenitsu Woah! Tanjirou! Shinazugawa Ngh… This kid… stopped my fist! Tanjirou Urahh!

[Action: Shinazugawa kicks at Tanjirou. Tanjirou barely dodges.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) He only grazed me, but that kick ripped my ear! Shinazugawa You’ve got some nerve, you know! It seems like you have a death wish. I’ll be happy to oblige you! Genya Come on! Hold up, Big Brother! Tanjirou has nothing to do with this! Zenitsu We’re out of here! Genya Ah! [Action: Zenitsu pulls Genya away from the fight.] Genya Who are you?! Let go of me! Zenitsu Best to scatter people at odds with each other! We’re distancing ourselves! So he’s your big brother? He’s a total lunatic! I feel for you! [Action: Genya punches Zenitsu in the face.] Zenitsu Erk! Genya Don’t you dare insult my big brother! Zenitsu Hey, I’m on your side! Shinazugawa You can just drop dead! [Action: Shinazugawa punches Tanjirou in the face.] Tanjirou Ugh! [Action: The other Demon Slayers jump in to help Tanjirou.] Tanjirou (Narration) It was all chaos and turmoil from that point on. The brawl lasted until almost dusk. [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou’s crow admonishes Tanjirou.] Tan.Crow Idiot! You idiot! Caw! Tanjirou (Narration) I received a formal reprimand from the higher-ups, my training under the Wind Hashira was suspended, and I was banned from going near him. [Scene: In the courtyard. Genya practices his sword swings.] Tanjirou (Narration) In the end… I wasn’t able to bring the Shinazugawa brothers together. [Scene: Some days later, in the forest. Tanjirou walks with Zenitsu.] Tanjirou I never intended for this to happen, you know. My mark isn’t any clearer yet, and I’m not seeing the effects of my training. Zenitsu No, they’re there, all right. You were able to take on the Old Wind Guy. That’s impressive. Tanjirou You think so? Zenitsu Anyway, how deep in the mountains is the Stone Hashira’s house?! What is he, a fool?! Tanjirou I think it’s just a little farther. Zenitsu Huh? Tanjirou What’s wrong, Zenitsu? Zenitsu I can hear something. It’s this way! [Action: Tanjirou and Zenitsu continue walking until they come up to a waterfall.] Tanjirou Hey, it’s… a waterfall! Zenitsu Wow… Tanjirou There are people there! [Action: Inosuke and several other Demon Slayers stand under the waterfall.] Inosuke, Slayers Thus have I heard. In the presence of the Buddha. When in Shravasti. At Jetavana Vihara. Tanjirou, Zenitsu Ahhh! Himejima If you extinguish your heart and mind… Tanjirou, Zenitsu Huh?! [Action: Tanjirou and Zenitsu turn to see Himejima surrounded by fire.] Himejima … even fire is cool. Tanjirou, Zenitsu Ahhh!! Zenitsu Erk! Himejima Welcome… to my training ground. Character List: Tanjirou Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, Genya Shinazugawa, Gyoumei Himejima, Murata, Muzan Kibutsuji, Nakime, Demon Slayers, Tanjirou’s crow (Tan.Crow), Genya’s crow (Gen.Crow) [Scene: At Himejima’s training area.

Himejima explains his training.] Himejima Most important of all is your body’s core. It is in your lower body. If you stabilize yourself with a robust lower body, it will lead to accurate attacks and unwavering defense. You’ll start off by cold plunging in the waterfall… Slayer I’m going to die! Himejima … after which you’ll lift up these three logs. Tanjirou (Thoughts) They’re really big. Himejima And finally, you’ll push this boulder, transporting it one cho away. Zenitsu Erk… Himejima My training consists of these three simple tasks. As it would be dangerous to roast you with fire from below, I have scratched that one. Zenitsu Ugh… [Action: Zenitsu loses consciousness.] Tanjirou Excuse me! Zenitsu has fainted! Zenitsu Ugh… Himejima Put him in the river. [Scene: At Himajima’s training area. Tanjirou holds Zenitsu in the river. Zenitsu regains consciousness.] Zenitsu Gahhh! It’s freezing! A river in wintertime?! How can that not be beyond too cold?! I’m going to die! I’m about to puke!

[Action: Murata and several other Demon Slayers cling to boulders.] Slayers Ugh… Urgh… Murata Long time no see, you guys… Cling to the boulders… It’s nice and warm… Zenitsu Ngh!

(Thoughts) I can’t hear him chanting anymore. Huh? Inosuke?! Ino… Hey, this is bad! Really bad! [Action: Tanjirou gets Inosuke out from under the waterfall and begins doing chest compressions.] Tanjirou Inosuke! Wake up, Inosuke! Wake up! Inosuke, wake up! [Action: Inosuke regains consciousness.] Inosuke Ahh! Did you call me, Manjirou? Tanjirou Inosuke! Inosuke Comin’ through… [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou stands before the waterfall.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) This waterfall… [Action: Tanjirou gets under the waterfall.] Tanjirou Erk! (Thoughts) … is not just any waterfall! Murata Whatever you do, don’t stop chanting the nenbutsu! Sure, it’s good for focusing, but it’s also a signal that you’re conscious, okay? Tanjirou Right… Murata Namu Amida Butsu… Namu Amida Butsu… Tanjirou (Thoughts) T <\|endoftext\|>

Tanjirou Right… Murata Namu Amida Butsu… Namu Amida Butsu… Tanjirou (Thoughts) The water is cold and heavy! (Thoughts) No good! You can’t fall silent! Nenbutsu, nenbutsu… Nenbutsu, nenbutsu, nenbutsu, nenbutsu, nenbutsu… Urgh! It’s freezing! [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou, Murata, and other Demon Slayers cling to the rocks.] Tanjirou Ugh… We’re just standing under the waterfall, but it sure is harsh! Who knew that water cascading down from so high could feel that heavy? If you relax your body, you could break your neck! Murata No, no! Both you and that boar are amazing. My first day, it took me until evening to get the hang of this waterfall training. I just couldn’t get used to the water. Now that I’m able to stay under the waterfall for two hours, I’m moving on to the log training! Tanjirou Th-Th-That’s great, Mr. Murata! Murata W-Well… I’ve been here for ten days. [Scene: Sometime later. The Demon Slayers sit down for dinner. Inosuke bites into a grilled fish.] Inosuke That guy is insane! The old guy with the rattlin’ beads! Tanjirou You mean Mr. Himejima, the Stone Hashira? You shouldn’t give him a weird nickname like that. Inosuke The moment I first met him, he gave me chills! Tanjirou Wait, you’re eating it, bones and all, Inosuke? Inosuke Huh? Aren’t you eating yours? They’re really crunchy and tasty! Tanjirou Wow! Of all the people I know, no one eats a fish cleaner than you, Inosuke! Inosuke Hahahaha! Well, what can I say? I am the King of the Mountains, after all! You bet I do! [Action: Inosuke takes another fish.] Slayer Woah! Are you going to be okay? That’s your tenth fish! Inosuke So anyway, about the old guy with the rattlin’ beads… Tanjirou You mean Mr. Himejima, the Stone Hashira. Inosuke There’s no doubt in my mind. He’s the strongest of the Demon Slayer Corps. Tanjirou Hey, so he is, is he? Slayers (Thoughts) Huh?! (Thoughts) Is that true? Tanjirou Mr. Himejima’s scent is totally different from anyone else’s. I wonder if his mark has already shown up. Inosuke I wouldn’t be surprised if it has. Slayers (Thoughts) I just can’t keep up with these conversations by guys who shoot up the ranks so fast. (Thoughts) Normally, you wouldn’t have a clue! (Thoughts) What they’re talking about is so next-level! (Thoughts) Also, the fish that Tanjirou grilled are excellent! Zenitsu I don’t believe him. I bet that old guy can’t even move a boulder like that one cho himself! He’s just having a blast tormenting us young guys! Tanjirou No. I hear that Mr. Himejima can push even bigger boulders than that one. Zenitsu Do you believe whatever you hear just like that? You’re being deceived. Tanjirou Uh, no… Your hearing is great, Zenitsu. So I’m sure you can tell if he’s lying or not, right? [Action: Himejima pushes an extremely large boulder behind Tanjirou.] Zenitsu Ahh… Himejima Namu Amida Butsu… Namu Amida Butsu… Tanjirou Oh, there he is right now! Wow! Mr. Himejima sure is strong! You think I’ll ever get to be like him? Zenitsu In your dreams you will! [Action: Zenitsu begins beating on Tanjirou’s head.] <\|endoftext\|>

You get that, don’t you?! Inosuke Yeah, now that I’m full, I’m gonna lift up some logs and shove a boulder! Zenitsu Gahh! Jeez, you’re all so positive! This is no place for me!

She spots a Demon Slayer.] Nakime I have found one more. I have located about 60% of those Demon Slayers. However, I have yet to find the girl who has conquered the sun. Kibutsuji Nakime, you’ve grown even more than I ever imagined. How splendid. [Scene: In the Infinity Castle.

Kibutsuji It won’t be long… before I find both Nezuko and Ubuyashiki. [Scene: At Himejima’s training area. Tanjirou tries to push the boulder.] Tanjirou Grr… Ngh… (Thoughts) My legs keep slipping back! Urahh! (Thoughts) I’m losing ground! Grr… Ngh… Gah! [Action: Tanjirou’s slipper rips, and he slips.] Tanjirou Ow… Ah… Should I go back and fix that? [Action: Tanjirou heads back toward the buildings.] Tanjirou Oh… Good morning! Slayer Oh, Kamado… We’re heading back down the mountain. We just can’t keep up with this. Tanjirou Ah… Slayer Sorry. We feel guilty, bailing like this now. But… we’ll be moving to a sustainment support role for you guys. We’re counting on you, Kamado. Tanjirou Right. I’m counting on you, too. Slayer Huh? On us? Tanjirou If you provide us with sustainment support, we can fight the demons without any worries! All of us Demon Slayers standing together will go for Muzan Kibutsuji’s head! Sl <\|endoftext\|>

(Thoughts) I have to… do what I have to do! [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou makes rice balls for the group.] Murata Wow! Slayers Tanjirou, you sure are good at making those! You said it! They’re totally triangular! Tanjirou Since we’ve been running ourselves ragged, I added some extra salt. Thank you all for waiting! Here you go! Slayers Wow! [Action: The group digs in.] Murata Man, this is good! Slayers Really hits the spot. Yeah, so tasty! Murata I realized something during this training session. It’s why hardly any of the current Hashira have Tsuguko. Tanjirou Why don’t they? Slayers Yeah, I think I get it now, too. It’s too exhausting, so they must have all run off. Yeah. Or maybe like what happened with that blond guy. So devastated by the difference between himself and the Hashira, his soul has been crushed. Murata Since they’ve been doing this kind of thing like it’s nothing, Hashira really are incredible! Tanjirou Yes, they are. Slayers But seriously, you can cook rice like nobody else, huh? Tasty! Murata Yeah! And you can grill fish like a boss! Tanjirou Well, I am the son of a charcoal burner. Slayers Oh, no wonder! Tanjirou Cooking is all about the right heat! [Action: Tanjirou makes grilled rice balls.] Tanjirou Grilled rice balls are good, too! Slayer Way to go, Tanjirou! Tanjirou Please eat as much as you want! Slayers It tastes great! This miso-flavored one is awesome! I’m starting to tear up. I know! It tastes like your mom’s cooking, right? Right, right! Mom! Mother! Tanjirou (Thoughts) Somehow… this kind of brings back memories. [Scene: Sometime later. Tanjirou continues trying to push the boulder.] Tanjirou Ngh… Urahh… Gah… Tan.Crow Caw! Caw! Tanjirou Grrr… Ngh… Gah! W-Water! [Action: Tanjirou falls to the ground and breathes heavily.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) No good today, either! (Thoughts) It’s been six days now! What am I going to do? (Thoughts) It’s not like the demons will stay inactive forever. There’s no time to lose! (Thoughts) Is it just that I don’t have enough muscular strength? Or could there be another breathing technique? (Thoughts) Even after all this training, I still can’t maintain my mark! [Action: Genya appears above Tanjirou.] Tanjirou Ah! Genya Hey, you. Is it me, or did your mark get darker? Tanjirou Hey! Genya! Are you all right? I couldn’t get a hold of you after what happened, so I was worried! Genya I was under confinement. Mr. Himejima gave me an earful. Because of what happened even though I was told to stay away from my big brother… Tanjirou I see… Genya Sorry I dragged you into that. Thanks for defending me. Tanjirou Oh, hey, come on! Genya Anyway, about your mark… Tanjirou Oh! Does it look like it’s darker? Genya Yeah. Tanjirou No one ever mentioned that to me!

Genya Well, if they’re looking at it every day, they wouldn’t be able to spot the difference. Don’t you have a mirror? Tanjirou No. Genya I’ll lend you mine later. [Action: Tanjirou inspects his forehead scar.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Did it really get darker? Thank goodness! That makes me happy! Tan.Crow Die! Gen.Crow Hah! Why don’t you? Crows Caw, caw, caw! Genya So you’re doing the boulder training. So am I, you know. Tanjirou Yeah, but I can’t get it to budge at all. Were you able to move it, Genya? Genya Yeah, I can move it. Tanjirou What?! Genya Aren’t you guys using repetitive motion? Tanjirou Huh? Genya So you’re not, huh? Well, not that Mr. Himejima is exactly good at teaching it. You need to watch and learn and swipe it for yourself, all right? To enhance your concentration to the max, you perform a predetermined action. In my case, I chant the nenbutsu. Tanjirou That’s what Mr. Himejima does, too! Genya That’s right! You’ve seen him saying “Namu, Namu”, right? Himejima (Thoughts) Namu. [Scene: Sometime later. Genya prepares to leave.] Gen.Crow So long! Tan.Crow Don’t ever come here again! Genya See you! Tanjirou Thanks, Genya! I’ll give it a try! Genya Don’t overdo it, okay? [Action: Genya walks away.] Genya Well, not that he’s the kind of guy who’d listen anyway. Tanjirou (Thoughts) One more time. (Thoughts) Repetitive motion. Remember what Genya told you. Genya (Flashback) You open up all of your senses at once. (Flashback) According to Mr. Himejima, even though I can’t use breathing techniques, I can still move that boulder if I use repetitive motion. (Flashback) Well, not that I’ve made much headway yet. Tanjirou Urahhh! (Thoughts) When Mr. Himejima and Genya use this, they revive their memories of being angry and in pain. By doing that, they increase their heart rate and body temperature! Urahhh… Ahh… Ahh! [Action: The boulder moves minutely.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Dammit! Still a long way to go, huh? Slayers Tanjirou! Can you make dinner now? After tasting what you made, we can’t eat anything else. Tanjirou Oh, it’s dinnertime already? I’ll be right there! Slayers Hey, Mom! Mom! [Scene: At night, in the rest building. Genya returns as Tanjirou makes dinner.] Tanjirou Welcome back, Genya! Genya I’ll help out, too. Tanjirou Thanks. Genya So? Were you able to use repetitive motion? Tanjirou Hmm… It seems like it’s different from Total Concentration. Genya It’s like working up your emotions, I guess. Tanjirou Yeah. Genya But… this is just a thought. Isn’t the mark on your forehead a sign that you’re in that same state? Tanjirou Yeah, but neither Mr. Himejima nor even you, Genya, have a mark. Genya You’re right about that. Tanjirou, Genya Hmm… Genya Tanjirou. Tanjirou Huh? Genya In your case, when is it that your emotions get really worked up? Tanjirou That would be… [Action: Tanjirou looks away.] Genya I don’t know if it’s something I said, but it looks like I reminded you about something sad. My bad.

Tanjirou prepares to push the boulder again.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) By using repetitive motion, you can increase your concentration to the max anytime! (Thoughts) My repetitive motion is… to first picture the faces of my loved ones. (Thoughts) And also… to recall Mr. Rengoku’s words. (Thoughts) “Set your heart ablaze!” [Action: A spark shoots through Tanjirou’s body.] Tanjirou Urahhh! Ahhh…! [Action: Tanjirou pushes the boulder slightly.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I hope I can learn to maintain the darkness of my mark! Inosuke Hey, it’s Gonpachirou! Zenitsu That guy! So he’s started training at this hour when the sun hasn’t even come up yet? He won’t last the day. Inosuke Grr! I’m not going to let him beat me! Tanjirou Urahh! Ahhh…! (Thoughts) Though I couldn’t do it at first… Ngh… Zenitsu, Inosuke Ah… Tanjirou Ngh… Urgh! (Thoughts) … I exerted all my strength through repetitive motion! (Thoughts) After repeating that over… and over and over again… my body started to master it! [Action: Another spark flashes through Tanjirou’s body. His forehead mark appears.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) From repetitive motion… full strength! I’ll repeat this process! Urahhh! [Action: Tanjirou pushes the boulder.] Zenitsu For real? Inosuke Ah! Tanjirou Urahhh! Urahhh! Zenitsu Y-You did it! Tanjirou, you did it! Inosuke Dammit! You beat me! Zenitsu You’re a monster!

Yui But your heart was stopped. [Action: Yui stands up, but Ayato grabs her around her waist and pushes her down on the sofa.] Yui Ah! What? Ayato You already know the answer to that. I’m about to take you. [Action: Ayato licks Yui’s neck.] Yui Ngh…! Reiji Ayato, what’s all the commotion? Ayato Damn, not you, Reiji. Reiji This is the entrance hall. This is meant to be used as a place to greet our guests. Take your activities to your private room. Ayato Well, that was dull. [Action: Yui gets up and runs toward Reiji.] Yui Please help me! Reiji And you are? Yui I’m Yui Komori. My father said I was supposed to live here. Reiji I heard nothing of the sort. Ayato, explain this to me. Ayato Huh? How should I know?

I would like an explanation. Shuu That guy… contacted me the other day. He said, “We have a guest arriving from the church, so treat her with respect.” Ayato What? Are you telling me that Pancake here is the prospective bride? Yui Huh? Kanato Oh, is that all? Laito Hmm, more like a sacrifice than a bride. Shuu Oh, right… And he also mentioned not to kill her. Laito Really? That means we’re going to have a very long relationship with her. Yui Ah… Reiji It appears there is no misunderstanding, so allow us to introduce ourselves. That is the eldest son, Shuu. Shuu Ngh… Reiji I am the second son, Reiji. These are the triplets, Ayato… Ayato You won’t get away next time.

But how? “Yui gives me happiness.” “The fact that she is not actually my child means nothing now.” “I am only grateful for this great blessing every day that I live.” What does this mean? Am I not my father’s daughter? What is my father’s diary doing here? Reiji Of all the rooms, you had to pick this one to enter. Yui Ah…! Reiji This is a room that we have sealed off so no one may enter. I will have to fit it with a new lock. Laito That’s for sure. How did you get in here, Little Bitch? Kanato Please stay put.

Reiji Isn’t it obvious? You’re going to school. Yui School? So late? Reiji How obtuse can you be? Do you need every little thing spelled out for you? You’re going to night school. Yui But it’s so late to go to school… Reiji We cannot have you being active in the daytime just because you have the common sense of a mortal. As long as you reside in the Sakamaki home, you must adjust to our lifestyle. Yui But… Reiji If you have a complaint, you are welcome to leave at any time.

Reiji 100% cranberry juice is the best cure for weak blood. Yui Th-Thank you very much. Reiji You need not thank me. You must become fully aware that you are our prey and drink that daily. Yui Huh…? [Action: Yui begins to shake.] Kanato Her teeth are chattering. Teddy, when mortals feel fear, they reflect it with this sort of behavior. It’s funny, so have a good look. [Scene: At school.

[Action: Kanato smacks the coffee out of Yui’s hands.] Yui Ow! Kanato I prefer things that are sweet! I hate things that are bitter like coffee! Why can’t you see that?! Yui That’s no reason to throw it on the floor. Kanato Don’t talk back to me! You are a worthless human and have no right! Yui I-I’m sorry. Kanato You aren’t sorry, so why are you apologizing?! Yui Then what do you want from me? Kanato I want you to think of that on your own. Yui I-I’ll go get you something else. Kanato No, thank you. I’m no longer interested.

Laito slams her into a window.] Yui Ngh… Laito Where would you like it, Little Bitch? I guess where you’re most sensitive. We dwellers of the night become particularly thirsty on nights such as this.

Laito Well, look at that. Fufu… You seriously believe in him? You think that he will help you if you believe. Fufufu… Are you stupid, or are you naive? Maybe you’re both. Either way, you’re simple-minded. I find your innocence appealing, Little Bitch. [Action: Laito grabs Yui’s arms.] Yui Ngh…! Laito However… there is nothing to believe in, and you need to do more than pray to accomplish anything. Yui But I will still pray, and I will still believe!

[Action: Yui takes a step back but trips over her own feet.] Yui Ah… Ngh! Kanato Haha… Hahahaha! That’s incredible, Yui! You should see how pathetic you look! Yui Ngh… Kanato Now crawl around in the dirt more and cry like the pathetic girl you are. Then I may forgive you. Hahahaha! Yui I’m… sorry… Kanato You are very sweet. That’s enough. [Action: Kanato pushes Yui to the ground.] Yui Ah…! Kanato? [Action: Kanato acts as if he’s about to bite Yui.] Yui Stop! Kanato I forgot… If mortal women aren’t given a kiss before being pleasured, do they become angry? Yui What are you talking about, Kanato? Kanato You women are such a pain. Yui Stop it! [Action: Kanato kisses Yui. They break away, and Kanato bites Yui’s neck. After he stops, he sniffs her neck.] Kanato You smell like something I remember. Haha… Hahahaha! Why is that?

He wakes up.] Reiji What are you doing here? [Action: Yui pulls back.] Yui Ah… Pardon me. Reiji I can’t believe I was actually woken up by the smell of your blood. Yui I’m sorry. Reiji It’s far preferable to the nightmare I was having. So, can I help you? Yui I came because I heard you moaning. Reiji Please wait a moment. I will make tea. [Action: Reiji prepares a cup of tea for himself.] Yui Um, I… Reiji I have completely neglected to inform you of your own position. Yui Huh? Reiji However, I did not imagine that it required explanation. Did you honestly believe that I would make tea for you? Please stop being so conceited. It is very presumptuous. I will allow you to enjoy the aroma. [Action: Yui turns to look around Reiji’s room.] Yui So, this must be your laboratory. Does anyone else use it? Like maybe Shuu? Reiji Just hearing that name makes my ears feel unclean. Yui Why do you hate him so much? [Action: Reiji gets up from his chair.] Reiji You do not need to know that. [Action: Reiji walks to his window and remembers a scene from his past.] Reiji I will make an exception and share my tea with you. [Action: Reiji pours a cup of tea for Yui.] Reiji Be my guest. Yui Thank you very much. [Action: Yui takes a sip of tea but drops the cup and gets sick.] Yui Ngh…! Wh-What…? Reiji There is no need to worry. It will not endanger your life.

Things that have been broken must be cleaned up immediately. [Action: Yui gets up and finds a giant cut on her palm.] Yui Ah… [Action: Reiji takes Yui’s hand.] Yui Ah… Ah…! Reiji I don’t want to give you the wrong impression. Much like this cup, I have no interest in things with imperfections. That is true. However, you infuse the air with such a sweet aroma. [Action: Reiji drinks the blood from Yui’s hand.] Yui Ugh… Reiji Ngh… What is this? [Action: Reiji gets up and turns away from Yui. He takes his remaining glove off.] Reiji I have soiled myself with your blood. Yui But that’s not my… Reiji I do not wish to hear your excuses. Yui Ah… Reiji On your feet. [Action: Reiji turns to Yui.] Yui Ah… Ahh… [Action: Yui begins backing away as Reiji glares at her. He drops his glove and pushes Yui into the bookcase.] Yui Ngh! Reiji… Please don’t! Reiji Who in the world will hear you when you scream? Yui No! Reiji Mortals are nothing but containers of blood. Despite your position as worthless containers, I wish to give you more pleasure than anyone. Here. [Action: Reiji bites into Yui’s neck.] Yui Ngh… Ugh… [Action: Yui pushes Reiji away. Yui Stop it!

I will bind it so tightly that your blood flow will be cut off, and your hand will rot and fall off at the wrist. How will you scream then? The very idea makes me feel happy. [Action: Yui faints.] Reiji Your face will distort with remorse and regret. You will suffer, and finally, crying and screaming… you will die. Beatrix (Flashback) So, I have finally… witnessed your abilities with my own eyes. (Flashback) I always held on to the hope… that the one to kill me… would be you. (Flashback) I am satisfied. Reiji (Flashback) You would die smiling in the end? (Flashback) No… I will not allow it. I cannot allow it! (Flashback) I have no intention of giving you, my mother, a peaceful death!

Isn’t that right, Teddy? You don’t look like you’re enjoying it much. Yui Wax figures are kind of eerie. I wish they were as cute as Teddy. Kanato I do realize that Teddy is the cutest of them all. But in terms of soullessness, Teddy is just like them. Yui Soullessness? Kanato Fufu… You would be so beautiful as a silent corpse. Yui Huh? Kanato Say, would you like to become a figure right here and now? Yui K-Kanato? Kanato I would keep you displayed so carefully. Yui W-What are you talking about?

Fun fact: Once a butterfly is caught in a spider’s web, thrashing about only entangles them more. So hold still while I give you some loving, okay? [Action: Laito bites into Yui’s leg.] Yui Ngh…! Laito Fufu… I love you, Little Bitch. Ayato Ngh… [Action: Ayato pulls the sleeve of Yui’s nightgown down.] Yui Ah…! [Action: Ayato bites into Yui’s shoulder.] Ayato Ngh… Damn, I’m bored of this.

I’m thrilled that we ran into each other here. [Action: Yui walks over to Laito.] Yui Laito… Who is the woman in the purple dress? [Action: Laito stops his playing.] Yui She’s a pretty lady… with long hair. Ah… Kanato Why do you want to know that? Yui Ah…! [Action: Kanato and Ayato appear in the room.] Ayato What are you doing in here? Yui Ayato, Kanato… Tell me… What is your mother’s name? Ayato Cordelia. [Scene: In the past, at the Sakamaki manor. Cordelia stands on the lobby staircase, blood dripping from her mouth.] Cordelia Ahh! Ngh… Ayato… Ayato What a shame, it’s ruined now. And I really liked this shirt, too. It’s soaked in your blood, Mom. [Action: Ayato licks the blood on his hand.] Ayato Your blood tastes so sweet. It’s so delicious. I want more. Cordelia Ah…! Ayato Fufufu… Hahahaha!

Cordelia Ah…! Laito Well, I knew this would happen sooner or later. Cordelia Laito, I command you to help me! [Action: Laito does nothing. Ayato pounds on the door from outside.] Cordelia Ngh…! Laito has come for me. He has come to kill me! [Action: Outside, the wind blows fiercely. Tree branches hit the window.] Laito That isn’t Ayato. That’s just the wind. Relax.

Help me look for it. C’mon. Are you dead, Mother? You’re so cold… and so wet. Mother, you must be freezing. Hold on, I’ll warm you up.

Yui Subaru, why did you give me that knife? Wait! [Action: Yui reaches out for Subaru, but he shakes her off.] Subaru Stay away from me! Come one step closer, and I’ll destroy you! I will not only break your body, but your mind as well! [Action: Subaru rips his hand through a rose bush.] Yui Ah…! Ah… [Action: Upon seeing the rose petals, Yui remembers Christa being locked up in the tower in the past.] Yui Was the woman in the tower… your mother, Subaru? Subaru What do you know?! [Action: Subaru grabs Yui’s wrist harshly.] Yui Ah…! Subaru, you’re hurting me! Let go! Subaru What do you want from me? What do you expect from someone as powerless, hideous, and polluted as I am? Yui Huh? Subaru Ah… [Action: Subaru pulls Yui closer to him.] Yui Ah…! Subaru? Subaru Tsk… [Action: Subaru bites into Yui’s neck.] Yui Ngh…! Subaru It tastes so sweet… [Action: Subaru continues to suck Yui’s blood.] Yui Ngh…! No…! Subaru Shut up and keep quiet. [Action: Subaru bites into Yui’s arm.] Yui Ngh…! Subaru You asked me why I gave you the silver knife. Yui Huh…? Subaru I gave it to you so you could stab me with it, should I want you to. Yui Ah…! But I couldn’t possibly -- Subaru If you are incapable of that, use it to end yourself. Yui Huh…? Subaru You have no right to refuse. In the same way, you can’t deny me your blood. Yui Ah…!

[Action: Yui peeks around the corner into the crypt.] Yui Um… Is that you, Shuu? [Action: Yui walks into the crypt to find Shuu reading a music score.] Shuu Do you want something? Yui Ah… I’m sorry to disturb you. Um, I… Something has been wrong with me recently. I can hear the voice of a woman who isn’t there, and I feel unsteady. I just don’t feel like myself. Shuu Really? All right, come here. Yui Huh? Ah… Ah…! [Action: Shuu drops the music score and pushes Yui down to the bench.] Yui What are you doing? Please… Let me go!

Shuu Your blood now… [Action: Shuu wipes the blood dripping from Yui’s wound and licks it.] Shuu It’s hot and bursting out now. [Action: Shuu bites into Yui’s neck again. Yui pushes him away, but he takes her hand.] Shuu Your neck isn’t the only part of you supplied with blood. Fresh, new blood also flows through your wrists. I can tell, even through your skin. It smells good. Yui Ngh… Shuu Don’t move. [Action: Shuu bites into Yui’s wrist.] Yui Ugh…! Shuu You have blood of the finest quality. I’ll give you that much. Are you frightened? I’m not opposed to the look of fear in your eyes. [Action: Shuu sits Yui up and bites near her neck.] Yui Ngh…! Shuu Your blood is more delicious than anyone else’s. It slakes my every thirst.

Ah…! [Action: Yui remembers her first day at the Sakamaki manor.] Shuu (Flashback) That guy… contacted me the other day. He said, “We have a guest arriving from the church, so treat her with respect.” Ayato (Flashback) What? Are you telling me that Pancake here is the prospective bride? Yui (Flashback) Huh? Kanato (Flashback) Oh, is that all? Laito (Flashback) Hmm… More like a sacrifice than a bride. Yui Tell me… What is the real reason I’m here? Does my father have a strong connection to your family?

I try to smarten them up, but it never takes. So, what is it you wish to know? Yui Um, I… I want to know why I came here. I want to know why I was chosen, and how my father is involved with the s-sacrificial brides. Richter Heh… Chosen? How conceited can you be? Yui Huh? Richter You came to this house because you’re of a suitable bridal age and were the easiest mortal to obtain. Only a foolish mortal would consider such a thing a necessity or chance. Yui Then, my father… Richter This does not involve anyone as inferior as your father. Yui Ah…! My father really didn’t know about this. Thank God.

Yui stands in front of a mannequin wearing Cordelia’s dress.] Richter There is no need to hesitate. That dress belongs to you. [Action: Yui walks forward and touches the flower of Cordelia’s dress. Blood flows from the flower onto Yui’s hand. Inside Yui’s mind, Cordelia approaches her.] Yui (Thoughts) Ah…!

Richter It wasn’t intentional. You are my brother’s wife. That fact is inescapable. I am a man who fought with his brother over you and lost. In an effort to forget you, I wandered the world for hundreds of years. Yui (Cordelia) But why? There was no need to forget me. You don’t owe anything to Karlheinz. Am I right? Richter Only a wicked woman would compel a response to that. Yui (Cordelia) You’re so fun to tease, Richter. Let it go. It’s all in the past. As you can see, I have been resurrected, as you wished. Ayato Hey, what’s the meaning of this?! Yui (Cordelia) Oh, it’s you, Ayato. It’s been a long time. Ayato What have you done? Yui (Cordelia) It doesn’t appear you’re here to say how pleased you are to see me again. As for why I’m here… Richter, would you please explain it to him? I need some rest. I’m not fully used to this body yet. She shouldn’t even be conscious, yet she’s trying to eject me. It’s tiresome. I suppose this body isn’t fully mine yet. [Action: Yui walks past Ayato.] Yui (Cordelia) Fufufu… Ayato What did you do to her? [Scene: In the past, at night. Cordelia lies paralyzed on the rose bushes.] Richter Oh, Cordelia! What happened? Who did this to you? Cordelia Richter, I have a request. Richter Anything you want. Cordelia My body is done for. Please cut out my heart. Richter Ah…! Cordelia Then, I want you to implant it into another body. Richter I presume that is the only way to keep you alive? Cordelia When the time is right, we will meet again. Oh, you must hurry. He’s coming to incinerate me! Hurry! [Action: Richter cuts out Cordelia’s heart.] Richter I swear that I will resurrect you. [Action: Richter closes Cordelia’s eyes.] Richter Until then, this is farewell. [Scene: Back in the present, at the Sakamaki manor.] Ayato So, the heart you removed is now inside her? Richter The girl is merely her vessel. The girl still exists, but only just. However, once she awakens, the girl’s soul will be obliterated for eternity, leaving only Cordelia. Ayato Ah…! Richter Yes, as I am sure you are aware, the awakening is at hand. Ayato Ngh…! [Action: Ayato turns and walks off.] Richter It is a beautiful moonlit night tonight. [Scene: On a pier overlooking the lake. Cordelia in Yui’s body stands at the end of the pier as Ayato approaches her.] Yui (Cordelia) Fufu… What will you do now, Ayato? Will you kill me again? Ayato I used to be a bad swimmer. Yui (Cordelia) Yes, I remember. However… you improved greatly, thanks to me. Ayato Now it’s your turn. Yui (Cordelia) Fufufu… But surely you know that I am an excellent swimmer. Ah… [Action: Ayato pushes Cordelia in Yui’s body over the pier. She falls into the water but continues to sink.] Yui (Cordelia) (Thoughts) W-What is this? Can’t she swim?! Ayato Get lost. Yui Ayato? [Action: Ayato turns back toward Yui. She reaches out to the pier.] Ayato Ah… Yui Ngh… Ayato? Ayato Ah…! [Action: Ayato gets Yui out of the lake.] Yui Why was I in the lake? And this dress… Say, Ayato?

[Action: Ayato bites into Yui’s neck.] Yui Ngh…! Ayato Amazing… Your blood is so filling now. There is no comparison. [Action: Ayato bites into Yui again and pushes her down to the ground.] Ayato This is a first for me. As long as I have your blood, I’ll never want… [Action: Ayato bites into Yui again.] Yui Stop…! Ayato Your blood is too sweet to give up. You belong to me. Your blood, heart, body, and soul… Your everything. Yui Huh…? Ayato Devote your blood and your life to me. [Action: Ayato moves to kiss Yui, but Laito interrupts him.] Laito Hmm, I see. It finally makes sense. Kanato I thought it was strange. Only just recently, the tiniest whiff of Yui’s blood smelled so sweet that it would drive me crazy. Teddy, it was so hard to restrain ourselves, wasn’t it? Laito I’m sure a drink of her blood would be very satisfying. I’m getting excited just thinking about it. [Action: Yui gets up as Ayato faces his brothers.] Yui Ah… Ah…! [Action: Yui runs off.] Laito, Kanato Ah… [Action: As Laito and Kanato watch Yui run into the forest, Ayato blocks their way.] Laito Ah… It’s not nice to be greedy, Ayato. Kanato We want to taste her too, you know. Ayato Shaddap. That’s not my problem. [Scene: In Yui’s room. Yui finds the silver knife in her drawer. She picks it up.] Subaru Stop smelling like that. Yui Subaru? [Action: Subaru grabs Yui and pulls her close.] Yui Ngh…! [Action: Subaru bites into Yui’s shoulder.] Yui Ngh…! Subaru It’s so good. I’ll make you really feel my fangs. [Action: Subaru bites into Yui again.] Yui Ngh…! Subaru I will destroy you if I keep going. Your blood is irresistable. More… I need more! I will make it all mine, down to the last drop! [Action: Yui drops the silver knife.] Subaru Ah… [Action: Yui falls to her bed. Subaru picks up his silver knife.] Subaru Have you become afraid of us now? Yui I haven’t! But if I carry that with me, I don’t know what I might do! So I… Subaru Hm. Keep it. Yui Huh…? [Action: Subaru leaves the knife on Yui’s bed.] Richter It is your blood that drives them mad. Their behavior was out of the ordinary. Surely you noticed that. And why wouldn’t it be? Your nearly awakened blood fascinates them and makes them lose control. Each will become frantic to make you his own, which will lead to an ugly conflict. And ultimately, it will undoubtedly lead to tragic deaths for the lot of them. Yui No… [Action: Richter takes Yui’s face in his hand.] Yui Ah…! Richter Admit it. Deep down inside you, you know this will happen. Yui Ah… What should I do? Richter Clear your thoughts. The answer will eventually come to you. You need only accept it when it comes. Without fear, as though it is your destiny. [Action: The door to the balcony of Yui’s room bursts open.

Cordelia in Yui’s body sits with Richter.] Yui (Cordelia) Yes, that’s right. Fufu… Richter Hahaha… Yui (Cordelia) Fufufu… Reiji What have we here? Yui (Cordelia) Ah… Reiji I heard that our uncle had a visitor… but I never imagined that visitor would be you. [Scene: In the foyer. Cordelia in Yui’s body, Richter, and Reiji are gathered.] Yui (Cordelia) It’s been a long time, Reiji. If only you weren’t so stiff, you would look just like Karl from when I first met him. Reiji Please do not needlessly invoke my father’s name. I find it seriously offensive. Yui (Cordelia) Fufufu… Don’t be so standoffish. Come closer. Reiji It is apparent that scheming comes as naturally as breathing to you. Yui (Cordelia) Reiji, must I explain? I want to stay vibrant as long as I live. I will tell you what I despise most. Boredom. Boredom is the most painful thing immortals like ourselves can endure. Wouldn’t you agree? Reiji Yes, you have a point. Boredom doesn’t suit you. Death suits you much better. Yui (Cordelia) Fufu… I will take that as a compliment. Won’t you sit over here? I would like to talk face-to-face. [Action: Reiji stays where he stands.] Yui (Cordelia) What’s this? Are you being defensive? Fufu… In that respect, you’re exactly like Beatrix. You suppress your emotions and try to hide how you feel. She ultimately met a useless, pathetic end. Reiji Ngh… Yui (Cordelia) Oh, my! Did I touch a nerve? Beatrix didn't seem to love you as much as she loved Shuu, her eldest son, so I assumed you wouldn’t mind if I slandered her. Reiji I see. So that is how you turned my father and his brother, my uncle, on one another. Yui (Cordelia) Are you suggesting that I tore them apart? You make me sound like the root of all evil. You could be right. I may be the reason Karl and Richter’s once-friendly relationship deteriorated. Fufu… Reiji Their bond couldn’t have been that strong if it could be ruined by a woman like you. Yui (Cordelia) Fufufu… You are remarkably observant for a son of Beatrix. I like you even more. [Action: Cordelia in Yui’s body walks over to Reiji. She pulls Reiji closer.] Yui (Cordelia) Fufufu… Your eyes… look just like Karl’s. [Action: Cordelia in Yui’s body tosses Reiji’s glasses aside.] Yui (Cordelia) I will let you in on my secret out of respect for your eyes. I came back to life… in order to take revenge on Karl. I will make him pay with his death. Reiji Revenge for not loving you? Yui (Cordelia) It appears you don’t understand men and women yet. My desire to kill him is the greatest proof of my love. Reiji In other words, you want to push your love upon him whether he wants it or not? Yui (Cordelia) Mm… You certainly are fond of speaking out of turn. I think I will silenc <\|endoftext\|>

I will make him pay with his death. Reiji Revenge for not loving you? Yui (Cordelia) It appears you don’t understand men and women yet. My desire to kill him is the greatest proof of my love. Reiji In other words, you want to push your love upon him whether he wants it or not? Yui (Cordelia) Mm… You certainly are fond of speaking out of turn. I think I will silence that mouth of yours. [Action: Cordelia in Yui’s body kisses Reiji.] Yui (Cordelia) Fufufu… Reiji Please don’t toy with me. Yui (Cordelia) I am interested in you as a man. Reiji And what of my uncle? Yui (Cordelia) He doesn’t object to whatever I choose to do. Now, let’s continue. We have all the time in the world. Now, come. Reiji Hmph. I think I’ll pass. I am simply not attracted to corrupt women of loose morals. Yui (Cordelia) Ngh… [Action: Cordelia in Yui’s body slaps Reiji.] Reiji Ngh… Laito Come on, let’s stop this fighting. We’re family. Yui (Cordelia) Laito. Laito I thought that the next time I saw you would be in hell. Yui (Cordelia) I’m sorry I didn’t live up to your expectations. Laito No, this is better than I expected. Fufu… [Action: Kanato approaches with Laito.] Yui (Cordelia) My little songbird, please do entertain Mommy with your beautiful singing voice like you used to. Kanato Mother, but how? Subaru Oh, be quiet. Neither of you belong here. Get lost. [Action: Subaru approaches from behind Laito and Kanato.] Richter You put on a good show, Subaru… despite your inability to protect your own mother. Subaru Ngh…! Shut up! [Action: Subaru jumps onto the rail of the balcony and moves to punch Richter, but Richter takes Subaru’s fist and twists his arm. Subaru moves to kick Richter, but Richter moves out of the way.] Richter None of you can hope to rival me. [Action: Reiji walks away from Richter and Cordelia in Yui’s body.] Shuu Hahaha… Are you sure about that? Richter What? Shuu You’re the one who’s putting on a show. Richter Shuu, what are you trying to say? Shuu Ngh… [Action: Shuu gets up from the sofa.] Shuu To Karlheinz, the head of the family, you don’t even register as a rival. Richter Tsk…! Yui (Cordelia) Is this the best entertainment you can provide? You people are as dull as ever. The worst thing about this is that you all prevent me from being my vibrant self. Dispose of them. Immediately. [Action: Cordelia in Yui’s body holds out the silver knife for Richter.] Richter Why, this is Subaru’s silver knife. I believe that one stab through the heart with this is all it would take. Yui (Cordelia) Yes. They would disintegrate instantly, without pain. That shows how much I love them. Now, dispose of them, and I will make you the next head of the family. Richter Do you swear to make me the next head of the family if I kill them? Yui (Cordelia) Yes. Richter That’s strange. Yui (Cordelia) Ah… Ahh… Richter Wasn’t that already one of the terms of our agreement when I saved you as you lay dying? You swore that if I saved your life, you would put me on the throne. Yui (Cordelia) Richter, I will do anything you desire. Now hurry up and dispose of these boys. Do it for me. Richter You are a fool. You are useless to me in your less-than-pristine condition. All I need is your heart. As long as I awaken the girl who has your heart and make her mine, I can become the next head of the family without your assistance. Yui (Cordelia <\|endoftext\|>

[Action: Richter takes Yui’s body’s hand.] Yui (Cordelia) Ngh… Ah… [Action: Richter prepares to bite Yui’s body’s neck.] Ayato Hey! Would the both of you just shut the hell up? She belongs to me. Don’t touch her without my say-so! [Action: Richter draws a sword and points it at Ayato.] Richter Do not interfere! [Action: Richter attacks Ayato. Ayato jumps back, but the tie to his uniform is cut.] Ayato Ngh… Why, you… Laito Hey, Ayato! [Action: Laito tosses a sword to Ayato.] Ayato Your free ride is over. I’ll make you regret coming here! Richter Heh… And what do you think you can do about it? [Action: Ayato and Richter duel. Ayato is backed up against the wall.] Ayato Tsk… Ah…! [Action: Richter’s sword pierces through Ayato’s shoulder.] Ayato Tsk… Richter Ha… [Action: Richter withdraws his sword. Ayato falls to his knees.] Ayato Ngh… [Action: Richter raises his sword.] Richter Now, stay still. Ayato Ngh… Yui Ayato… Ayato Ah… Yui I… Richter Ah…! Yui Ngh…!

Yui Now no one will get hurt. [Action: Yui plunges the knife into her chest. She falls backward, and Ayato catches her.] Richter The heart is mine! Ayato Tsk! [Action: As Richter moves to attack Ayato, Ayato turns around and stabs him with his sword.] Richter Ahh… [Action: Ayato withdraws his sword, and Richter collapses.] Ayato Hey! Open your eyes! [Action: Cordelia reawakens in Yui’s body.] Yui (Cordelia) Fufufu… Only a foolish girl would stab herself. What a joke. Ayato Ngh…! Yui (Cordelia) Her death and awakening are only a matter of time.

Richter Laito… Laito Fufu… [Scene: In the Sakamaki manor. Yui stirs on the sofa.] Yui Ngh… Ayato, Shuu Ah… Yui Ngh…! Kanato That looks really painful. Ayato Hey, wake up. Yui Ngh…! Subaru What’s going on with her? Shuu The awakening has probably started. Kanato There is no precedent for an ordinary mortal woman to awaken with the power of a vampire, right? Shuu Right, because no vessel has ever endured the process. Ayato But it’s different this time. She has that woman’s heart inside her. [Scene: In the underground room with Cordelia’s dress.] Laito This explains why you keep showing up at our house. This dress is a very dangerous object, you know. Richter Ngh… Laito Uncle, you must have been so pleased with yourself to use her for your own means so successfully, but were you planning to revolt against Karlheinz once you had your hands on the power of the sacrificial bride? What did you hope to achieve as the new head of the family? Richter Do you seriously believe I will give up the truth to a dreg like you? Laito, the truth is not as simple as you think it is. Laito Hm~? [Scene: In the Sakamaki manor.] Kanato Is she really going to die? Ayato Isn’t there any way? Reiji There is, but it is incomplete. [Action: Reiji arrives, holding his concoction.] Ayato Reiji, what do you have? Reiji This remedy will kill that woman once and for all. Shuu It’s unusual for you to come forward with an unfinished product. Ayato What would make it complete? Reiji I believe I need a piece of that woman. Subaru There’s nothing left of her to use. Kanato Actually, I have something. [Action: Kanato rips off Teddy’s head and pulls out a vial.] Kanato I don’t need it anymore. [Action: Kanato gives Reiji the vial.] Reiji Is this that woman’s… [Action: Reiji mixes the contents of Kanato’s vial into his concoction.] Reiji Hm. Ayato Did it do the trick? [Scene: In the underground room.] Laito I will let you in on one obvious truth. Never again will we let you or that woman run our lives ever again. Richter Heh… We have an inescapable destiny. If you didn’t know that… Ngh… I pity you. [Action: Richter collapses.] Laito I guess this is it, dear uncle. Richter Ngh…! [Action: Laito holds up a lantern with a green flame.] Richter Ah…!

Ayato You don’t need to know that. Yui Ah… You’re all here. [Action: Yui sits up.] Yui Ah… I’m so thirsty. Kanato You’re awake. That’s good. I’m happy for you. Now I’ll get to see the revulsion on your face again. That adorable look, contorted with pain, fraught with terror, aching with anxiety, looking so desperate to get away. I love it when you make that face. So please make it again for me right now. Laito Fufu… Little Bitch, don’t forget about me. You’re the one who came running to me. How shall we enjoy ourselves today? The thought alone fills me with glee. I’ll love you lots, from top to bottom. Let’s fly to the moon, where we’ll make love amongst the stars. Shuu Are you prepared for this? Are you prepared to give up everything that makes you yourself for vampires like us? Are you prepared to alter everything about you? Heh… I doubt it, but that suits you. You don’t need to think. All you need to do is give your blood to me. Reiji Honestly, what a high maintenance servant you are. I wish you would stop creating work for me. Unlike some people, I have no time to enjoy myself. Although, rather than black tea, I’m more in the mood for a sip of your blood. That’s about all that you are good for anyway. There is no way around it. I will treat you to strict training. Subaru Will you accept your destiny and give up everything to us? If you are capable of doing that, I will take you with me into an eternal dream. Whether that dream is heaven or hell is up to you. I will not stop myself. How you feel about it is irrelevant. I will do as I please. Brace yourself. Ayato Why are you shivering? All you have to do is seek me out. I’ll teach you over and over until you know me intimately. Feel me from head to toe. Seek me, heart and soul. You belong to me. [Scene: In the Sakamaki manor. Yui holds a rose as she looks out from the balcony.] Yui Ah… Ayato There you are.

[Action: Yui takes the bouquet.] Yui They smell so nice. Kou You like them? Yui Yes, they’re beautiful. Kou Good! So then… you’ll show me your gratitude, right? Yui Huh? Kou Do you really think you can get something without giving anything in return? [Action: Kou wraps his arm around Yui’s back and pulls her close.] Kou Hehe! Yui Ahh… Ah…! Kou It’s a give-and-take world, you know. Yui Ah…! No…! [Action: Yui pushes Kou away.] Yui No! Kou Ah… Yui Ah… Um, s-sorry… Kou God, what a pain. Yui Huh? Kou This is the thanks I get for being nice. Yui Ah… Kou So you just take and won’t give? Who the hell do you think you are? Yui I didn’t mean to… [Action: Kou takes the rose bouquet back.] Yui Ah…! Kou Then give them back!
