1
00:00:58,526 --> 00:01:01,029
<i>Within the next five days,</i>

2
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,764
<i>Muzan will come.</i>

3
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:12,205
I will be the bait you use.

4
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:15,677
When he comes,
I need you to behead him.

5
00:01:19,146 --> 00:01:23,417
- Master, what leads you
to believe he'll find you?

6
00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:28,690
My intuition. That's all.

7
00:01:29,691 --> 00:01:31,425
Nothing beyond that.

8
00:01:31,458 --> 00:01:35,228
But listen,
the others can't know.

9
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:40,233
They would never agree
to using me as bait like this.

10
00:01:40,267 --> 00:01:43,203
They would sooner die
than do it.

11
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:47,508
You're the only one
that I can ask, Gyomei.

12
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:53,380
Even if you behead him,
he won't die.

13
00:01:54,716 --> 00:01:58,753
There's likely only one way
to destroy Muzan,

14
00:01:58,786 --> 00:02:03,256
trapping him in place until
sunlight shines upon him.

15
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:06,060
If beheading
isn't enough to kill him,

16
00:02:06,094 --> 00:02:08,696
there's only one option left.

17
00:02:08,730 --> 00:02:13,200
You all must endure a battle
until the sun rises.

18
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:15,803
- Yes, sir.

19
00:02:17,105 --> 00:02:19,807
<i>If that is your wish,</i>
<i>then so be it, Master.</i>

20
00:02:23,343 --> 00:02:25,278
<i>- Thank goodness.</i>

21
00:02:30,952 --> 00:02:32,285
<i>Gyomei...</i>

22
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:34,656
<i>after I have perished,</i>

23
00:02:34,689 --> 00:02:37,391
<i>please do not let</i>
<i>any more of my children</i>

24
00:02:37,424 --> 00:02:39,927
<i>be sent to their graves.</i>

25
00:02:39,961 --> 00:02:42,030
<i>That is my wish.</i>

26
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:01,683
<i>You think you've</i>
<i>driven me into a corner</i>

27
00:03:01,716 --> 00:03:03,183
<i>with your little plan?</i>

28
00:03:04,852 --> 00:03:08,388
But you are all about to be
going straight to hell!

29
00:03:08,422 --> 00:03:10,490
Mark my words, Demon Slayers.

30
00:03:10,525 --> 00:03:14,227
I'll massacre every one of you
before sunrise!

31
00:03:18,298 --> 00:03:21,002
You're the only one
going to hell,

32
00:03:21,035 --> 00:03:23,270
and you won't get away!

33
00:03:23,303 --> 00:03:26,074
- Oh, is that so?

34
00:03:26,107 --> 00:03:28,643
Let's see you try.

35
00:03:28,676 --> 00:03:30,878
Tanjiro Kamado!

36
00:03:32,947 --> 00:03:35,282
- I will defeat you!

37
00:03:36,751 --> 00:03:39,053
<i>Muzan Kibutsuji!</i>

38
00:03:50,998 --> 00:03:53,201
<i>What is this place?</i>

39
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:56,137
<i>Everything's upside down.</i>

40
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:59,874
<i>Was all of this made using</i>
<i>the enemy's Blood Demon Art?</i>

41
00:04:02,810 --> 00:04:04,946
<i>I don't understand</i>
<i>what's happening,</i>

42
00:04:04,979 --> 00:04:08,281
<i>except that Ms. Tamayo</i>
<i>was restraining Muzan.</i>

43
00:04:09,083 --> 00:04:10,250
<i>Even so...</i>

44
00:04:10,283 --> 00:04:12,720
<i>how long can she</i>
<i>keep that up?</i>

45
00:04:15,223 --> 00:04:17,091
- Calm down, Kanroji!

46
00:04:17,125 --> 00:04:19,160
- I-- Yes!

47
00:04:19,193 --> 00:04:20,661
- Stay with me!

48
00:05:15,583 --> 00:05:18,085
<i>I need to reach</i>
<i>Muzan as soon as possible</i>

49
00:05:18,119 --> 00:05:19,020
<i>and defeat him!</i>

50
00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:21,321
<i>By whatever means!</i>

51
00:05:29,831 --> 00:05:30,598
<i>That's the bottom!</i>

52
00:05:30,631 --> 00:05:33,201
<i>I'll be killed at this speed!</i>

53
00:05:33,234 --> 00:05:35,435
<i>I'll use a move</i>
<i>to change directions,</i>

54
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:37,672
<i>then find something</i>
<i>to grab on to.</i>

55
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,643
<i>It didn't work.</i>

56
00:05:42,677 --> 00:05:45,112
<i>I can't break away</i>
<i>from this freefall.</i>

57
00:06:34,328 --> 00:06:35,897
You all right?

58
00:06:37,298 --> 00:06:38,431
- Yes!

59
00:06:38,465 --> 00:06:40,268
Thanks for your help.

60
00:06:41,969 --> 00:06:43,304
You really saved--

61
00:06:45,006 --> 00:06:50,044
Water Breathing First Form:
Water Surface Slash.

62
00:06:51,846 --> 00:06:52,947
- Tanjiro!

63
00:07:14,869 --> 00:07:16,971
<i>- Water Breathing...</i>
<i>- Water Breathing...</i>

64
00:07:17,004 --> 00:07:18,339
<i>- Sixth Form...</i>

65
00:07:18,372 --> 00:07:19,707
<i>- Third Form...</i>

66
00:07:20,975 --> 00:07:23,244
<i>Whirlpool.</i>

67
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:24,712
<i>- Flowing Dance.</i>

68
00:07:32,053 --> 00:07:34,789
<i>Mr. Giyu's amazing.</i>

69
00:07:34,822 --> 00:07:38,326
<i>He can tell exactly</i>
<i>which move I'm gonna use.</i>

70
00:07:38,359 --> 00:07:39,694
<i>Then he follows up with one</i>

71
00:07:39,727 --> 00:07:42,897
<i>that prevents any kind</i>
<i>of friendly fire.</i>

72
00:07:42,930 --> 00:07:44,966
<i>He's unbelievable.</i>

73
00:07:44,999 --> 00:07:47,835
<i>Just what's</i>
<i>behind those eyes?!</i>

74
00:07:50,338 --> 00:07:53,507
- If I'm not mistaken,
this is the place

75
00:07:53,541 --> 00:07:56,043
that Shinazugawa
and Iguro mentioned.

76
00:07:59,246 --> 00:08:03,718
Which means Kibutsuji's plan
was to gather everyone here,

77
00:08:03,751 --> 00:08:07,154
then kill us all
in one fell swoop.

78
00:08:07,188 --> 00:08:12,460
From here on out, we'll need
to be even more vigilant.

79
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:13,894
- Right.

80
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:16,697
- Let's go.

81
00:08:16,731 --> 00:08:17,631
- Right!

82
00:08:40,054 --> 00:08:43,090
- Serpent Breathing
Fifth Form...

83
00:08:50,097 --> 00:08:52,666
- Slithering Serpent!

84
00:08:54,635 --> 00:08:56,337
You demon scum...

85
00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:58,507
stay away from Kanroji!

86
00:09:00,274 --> 00:09:02,810
<i>Mr. Iguro is so cool!</i>

87
00:09:03,677 --> 00:09:04,645
- Are you hurt?

88
00:09:04,678 --> 00:09:05,880
- No, not at all!

89
00:09:05,913 --> 00:09:06,814
- Then let's go.

90
00:09:06,847 --> 00:09:07,548
- Okay!

91
00:09:28,436 --> 00:09:29,370
Tokito!

92
00:09:36,010 --> 00:09:38,913
There's a whole lot
of demons, huh?

93
00:09:38,946 --> 00:09:40,515
- It would seem
they've been given

94
00:09:40,549 --> 00:09:42,249
the strength
of the Lower Ranks.

95
00:09:42,283 --> 00:09:46,087
It's clear that they're being
used to try and exhaust us.

96
00:09:49,558 --> 00:09:50,691
- Hmm.

97
00:09:51,492 --> 00:09:52,993
What of the Master?

98
00:09:53,828 --> 00:09:56,597
- He has departed
from this world.

99
00:09:57,431 --> 00:10:00,034
It was a truly noble end.

100
00:10:01,001 --> 00:10:02,203
- Knowing him...

101
00:10:02,236 --> 00:10:05,940
he never would have allowed
himself to be caught unawares.

102
00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:09,578
Did he sacrifice himself?

103
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:10,978
- Indeed.

104
00:10:11,011 --> 00:10:13,647
The Master did not
have much time left.

105
00:10:20,589 --> 00:10:21,989
<i>Master...</i>

106
00:10:28,729 --> 00:10:31,600
Back when I was mortally
wounded by a demon,

107
00:10:31,632 --> 00:10:33,502
and found myself
teetering on the edge

108
00:10:33,535 --> 00:10:35,269
between life and death...

109
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:38,038
he stayed by my side.

110
00:10:40,708 --> 00:10:43,444
He did the same
for every Corps member

111
00:10:43,477 --> 00:10:45,379
who was
on the brink of death...

112
00:10:47,681 --> 00:10:49,183
like a father.

113
00:10:51,385 --> 00:10:53,687
- Yes. I know.

114
00:10:53,721 --> 00:10:57,291
- Muzan not only took
my brother from me,

115
00:10:57,324 --> 00:10:59,293
but our father as well.

116
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:01,462
That bastard.

117
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:02,696
Damn him!

118
00:11:02,730 --> 00:11:05,534
I swear I'll make him suffer!

119
00:11:05,567 --> 00:11:07,735
I'll send him
straight to hell!

120
00:11:08,537 --> 00:11:10,237
- You're not alone.

121
00:11:14,475 --> 00:11:17,678
Trust me.
We all feel the same.

122
00:11:24,752 --> 00:11:27,354
<i>Forgive me, Master.</i>

123
00:11:28,623 --> 00:11:30,824
<i>I couldn't protect you.</i>

124
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,310
- There's no end
to you lowlifes, huh.

125
00:11:52,313 --> 00:11:54,616
That's just fine by me.

126
00:11:54,649 --> 00:11:56,551
I'll kill all of you!

127
00:12:04,626 --> 00:12:06,160
- Yaah!

128
00:12:06,193 --> 00:12:07,529
Make way!

129
00:12:07,562 --> 00:12:09,196
I'm comin' through!

130
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:14,835
Whole lotta fallin'
happening here!

131
00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:19,306
Pretty rude to just drop me
in here outta nowhere!

132
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:20,609
Though, I've been itching

133
00:12:20,642 --> 00:12:22,409
to see how
my training's paid off,

134
00:12:22,443 --> 00:12:23,877
so with that in mind,

135
00:12:23,911 --> 00:12:26,347
let's test it out
on you chumps!

136
00:12:28,048 --> 00:12:29,216
Let's go!

137
00:12:36,423 --> 00:12:38,092
<i>Where am I?</i>

138
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:40,961
<i>The demon headquarters?</i>
<i>Where are the others?</i>

139
00:12:41,762 --> 00:12:43,665
<i>Big Brother.</i>

140
00:12:43,698 --> 00:12:47,067
<i>I hope you're safe, too.</i>

141
00:12:50,904 --> 00:12:53,140
<i>- I just heard a sound.</i>

142
00:12:53,173 --> 00:12:55,677
<i>Could it be</i>
<i>that</i> he's <i>somewhere nearby?</i>

143
00:13:01,315 --> 00:13:02,950
- You'll regret this.

144
00:13:04,051 --> 00:13:08,355
I won't forgive you,
not in a million years.

145
00:13:32,681 --> 00:13:34,281
<i>- I smell blood.</i>

146
00:13:43,057 --> 00:13:45,192
What is this place?

147
00:14:02,109 --> 00:14:03,110
Hmm?

148
00:14:04,445 --> 00:14:06,246
Oh, my. You're here?

149
00:14:07,147 --> 00:14:09,517
Ohh! And you're a girl, too!

150
00:14:09,551 --> 00:14:13,921
What a young and
tasty morsel we have! Heh!

151
00:14:13,954 --> 00:14:18,192
I'll have to properly
thank Nakime for this later.

152
00:14:33,974 --> 00:14:35,376
- Shinobu...

153
00:14:35,409 --> 00:14:38,580
you must leave
the Demon Slayer Corps.

154
00:14:40,314 --> 00:14:44,051
I know that you've
trained really hard...

155
00:14:44,084 --> 00:14:46,420
and you're fighting
to make a difference.

156
00:14:47,555 --> 00:14:49,957
But I don't think you'll...

157
00:14:55,396 --> 00:14:59,967
I want you to live the life
of a happy, normal girl,

158
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,170
to be able to see
your own hair turn gray.

159
00:15:05,507 --> 00:15:08,409
Really, you've done enough.

160
00:15:08,442 --> 00:15:10,512
- No! Can't stop now!

161
00:15:10,545 --> 00:15:13,848
I will avenge you
if it's the last thing I do!

162
00:15:13,882 --> 00:15:16,283
This demon, I need to know,

163
00:15:16,316 --> 00:15:18,853
I have to know
what it looked like!

164
00:15:18,887 --> 00:15:20,187
Please, Big Sister,

165
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:23,157
I'm begging you, tell me!

166
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:25,058
I could never live
a normal life

167
00:15:25,092 --> 00:15:27,461
knowing someone
did this to you!

168
00:15:27,494 --> 00:15:29,296
Please!

169
00:15:33,835 --> 00:15:35,169
<i>It was a demon...</i>

170
00:15:35,202 --> 00:15:38,238
<i>with a bloodstained pattern</i>
<i>on his head.</i>

171
00:15:39,406 --> 00:15:42,877
- I must say, it's very nice
to meet you, miss!

172
00:15:42,911 --> 00:15:45,979
You may refer to me as Doma.

173
00:15:46,013 --> 00:15:49,983
Ah, what a wonderful night.

174
00:15:51,018 --> 00:15:54,288
<i>- Such a warm smile</i>
<i>and gentle voice.</i>

175
00:15:54,321 --> 00:15:57,991
<i>There's a soft,</i>
<i>benevolent presence to him.</i>

176
00:15:59,092 --> 00:16:00,260
Please...

177
00:16:00,294 --> 00:16:01,596
h-help me.

178
00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:03,698
Please help me!

179
00:16:03,731 --> 00:16:05,466
- Shh!

180
00:16:05,499 --> 00:16:07,769
Can't you see
that we're talking?

181
00:16:11,506 --> 00:16:12,640
Huh?

182
00:16:12,674 --> 00:16:14,709
- Are you all right?

183
00:16:14,742 --> 00:16:17,612
- Wow! That was fast.

184
00:16:17,645 --> 00:16:19,279
Are you a Hashira?

185
00:16:27,889 --> 00:16:29,490
- Oh, don't worry about that!

186
00:16:29,524 --> 00:16:31,926
You can just
leave her right there.

187
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,161
I'll make a proper meal
of her later.

188
00:16:37,498 --> 00:16:38,766
- And this demon...

189
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,769
the weapon he used...

190
00:16:41,803 --> 00:16:43,705
it was a pair of sharp fans.

191
00:16:46,574 --> 00:16:50,143
- As the founder of
the Eternal Paradise Faith,

192
00:16:50,177 --> 00:16:51,478
it is my sworn duty

193
00:16:51,513 --> 00:16:55,182
to see that all my followers
attain happiness.

194
00:16:55,215 --> 00:16:58,051
I'll be sure
to consume her completely.

195
00:16:59,821 --> 00:17:01,121
<i>- There's no doubt.</i>

196
00:17:01,154 --> 00:17:04,358
<i>This is the demon</i>
<i>who killed my sister.</i>

197
00:17:05,192 --> 00:17:07,094
Attaining happiness?

198
00:17:07,127 --> 00:17:08,997
For who, exactly?

199
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:12,734
This girl was horrified,
crying out for help.

200
00:17:12,767 --> 00:17:14,368
- And that's why I saved her.

201
00:17:15,235 --> 00:17:18,138
Her suffering
has come to an end.

202
00:17:18,171 --> 00:17:21,609
No more pain. No more fear.

203
00:17:22,644 --> 00:17:25,212
Everyone is afraid of death,

204
00:17:25,245 --> 00:17:28,315
so I help them
by consuming them.

205
00:17:28,348 --> 00:17:33,021
This way, they get to live on
within me for all eternity.

206
00:17:33,086 --> 00:17:35,657
I take in their entire being--

207
00:17:35,690 --> 00:17:40,394
blood, desires, even
the last bit of their sinew--

208
00:17:40,427 --> 00:17:43,531
and help
their souls transcend.

209
00:17:43,565 --> 00:17:46,734
- What you're spouting
is sheer nonsense.

210
00:17:46,768 --> 00:17:49,136
And to say it with such glee.

211
00:17:49,169 --> 00:17:51,338
You truly make me sick.

212
00:17:51,371 --> 00:17:52,941
- Huh?

213
00:17:52,974 --> 00:17:57,645
I can't believe you'd say that
after we'd only just met.

214
00:17:57,679 --> 00:17:59,146
Oh, I see!

215
00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:01,181
Aw, you poor thing.

216
00:18:01,214 --> 00:18:04,151
Did something
unfortunate happen?

217
00:18:04,184 --> 00:18:05,720
Let's hear it.

218
00:18:05,753 --> 00:18:07,354
Go on, tell me.

219
00:18:08,422 --> 00:18:11,726
"Unfortunate" doesn't begin
to describe it!

220
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:15,162
You were the one who killed
my Big Sister, weren't you?!

221
00:18:15,195 --> 00:18:17,999
Does the haori I'm wearing
mean nothing to you?!

222
00:18:18,032 --> 00:18:19,801
- Huh?

223
00:18:30,945 --> 00:18:32,547
- That's right.

224
00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:35,917
It belonged to the girl
who used Flower Breathing.

225
00:18:35,950 --> 00:18:38,753
Such a sweet, gentle child.

226
00:18:39,921 --> 00:18:42,590
The sun came up
and cut our time short.

227
00:18:42,624 --> 00:18:43,791
I remember.

228
00:18:43,825 --> 00:18:45,459
It's a shame I didn't get

229
00:18:45,492 --> 00:18:46,527
to eat-- her.

230
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:51,131
<i>Insect Breathing</i>
<i>Dance of the Bee Sting...</i>

231
00:18:51,164 --> 00:18:52,533
<i>True Flutter!</i>

232
00:18:53,735 --> 00:18:55,335
- A marvelous thrust!

233
00:18:55,369 --> 00:18:57,505
I hardly even saw it!

234
00:18:59,741 --> 00:19:01,308
Blood Demon Art...

235
00:19:02,209 --> 00:19:04,478
Frozen Lotus.

236
00:19:05,513 --> 00:19:06,948
<i>- So cold.</i>

237
00:19:06,981 --> 00:19:09,416
<i>It feels like</i>
<i>my lungs are bursting!</i>

238
00:19:10,250 --> 00:19:12,587
- Hmm. Look at that!

239
00:19:12,620 --> 00:19:13,688
You are fast!

240
00:19:13,721 --> 00:19:16,256
Unfortunately for you,

241
00:19:16,289 --> 00:19:19,326
those thrusts aren't enough
to kill a demon.

242
00:19:22,797 --> 00:19:24,799
Aim for here.

243
00:19:24,832 --> 00:19:27,167
You need to chop off my head.

244
00:19:29,469 --> 00:19:32,707
- My thrusts alone
may not be enough.

245
00:19:32,740 --> 00:19:34,241
But what of this?

246
00:19:38,478 --> 00:19:42,583
<i>- Time to see whether this</i>
<i>toxin works on an Upper Rank.</i>

247
00:19:44,152 --> 00:19:45,352
<i>Sister...</i>

248
00:19:45,385 --> 00:19:48,756
<i>lend me your strength,</i>
<i>please.</i>

249
00:19:50,925 --> 00:19:52,727
This poison...

250
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,830
it's clearly far stronger
than the strain you used

251
00:19:55,863 --> 00:19:57,598
up on Rui's mountain.

252
00:19:58,733 --> 00:20:02,036
<i>- So they did</i>
<i>exchange information.</i>

253
00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:04,271
<i>This is the drawback</i>
<i>to using poison.</i>

254
00:20:04,304 --> 00:20:06,040
- He told me that...

255
00:20:06,074 --> 00:20:08,408
you've been
changing the concoction...

256
00:20:08,442 --> 00:20:10,912
for each demon you face.

257
00:20:19,252 --> 00:20:20,755
Oh, my,

258
00:20:20,788 --> 00:20:21,823
it would seem that I've

259
00:20:21,856 --> 00:20:25,159
already neutralized
all of your poison.

260
00:20:25,193 --> 00:20:26,527
How rude of me.

261
00:20:26,561 --> 00:20:29,931
And after you'd made it
just for me.

262
00:20:29,964 --> 00:20:32,332
That sword of yours...

263
00:20:32,365 --> 00:20:36,137
it makes quite an interesting
sound when you sheath it.

264
00:20:36,170 --> 00:20:40,240
Is that where you change
what poison you use?

265
00:20:40,273 --> 00:20:42,844
Yay! This is fun!

266
00:20:42,877 --> 00:20:46,714
Who knew being poisoned
was so invigorating?!

267
00:20:46,748 --> 00:20:48,549
It's almost addictive.

268
00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:50,450
What'll the next formula
be like?

269
00:20:50,484 --> 00:20:53,554
Come on,
let's give it a try!

270
00:20:59,761 --> 00:21:01,729
- Very well, then.

271
00:21:01,763 --> 00:21:03,197
I'll oblige.

272
00:21:03,231 --> 00:21:04,431
See...

273
00:21:07,802 --> 00:21:11,304
I'd already anticipated
this would happen.

274
00:21:12,774 --> 00:21:14,909
Is your next batch set?

275
00:21:14,942 --> 00:21:16,778
I'm ready whenever you are.

276
00:21:21,115 --> 00:21:23,985
I know I just said
to give it a try...

277
00:21:25,418 --> 00:21:28,623
but you could at least
change up your offense.

278
00:21:43,370 --> 00:21:44,705
- What's this?

279
00:21:44,739 --> 00:21:47,542
You seem to be
slower than earlier.

280
00:21:47,575 --> 00:21:48,843
So sad.

281
00:21:48,876 --> 00:21:52,013
<i>- Insect Breathing</i>
<i>Dance of the Horsefly...</i>

282
00:21:52,046 --> 00:21:54,549
<i>Enticing Slash!</i>

283
00:22:01,722 --> 00:22:04,959
- Oh, my.
You were able to land a hit.

284
00:22:04,992 --> 00:22:09,329
The way you got through
all my defenses, it's amazing!

285
00:22:09,362 --> 00:22:10,965
I'm truly impressed!

286
00:22:10,998 --> 00:22:14,168
It's almost enough
to bring a tear to my eye.

287
00:22:14,202 --> 00:22:16,504
Come on.
What are you waiting for?

288
00:22:16,537 --> 00:22:20,373
Hurry up and attack me again
before I stop the poison.

289
00:22:20,407 --> 00:22:22,610
Please? You're doing so well!

290
00:22:22,643 --> 00:22:24,979
Maybe the next attack
kills me!

291
00:22:30,918 --> 00:22:33,054
Yes! That's the spirit!

292
00:22:36,624 --> 00:22:40,895
<i>Ever since I was a child,</i>
<i>I was kind and clever.</i>

293
00:22:40,928 --> 00:22:43,731
<i>I always helped</i>
<i>those who were in need</i>

294
00:22:43,764 --> 00:22:47,034
<i>and led them</i>
<i>to the path of happiness.</i>

295
00:22:47,068 --> 00:22:49,369
<i>It was my duty, after all.</i>

296
00:22:50,738 --> 00:22:53,975
His eyes have
the colors of a rainbow.

297
00:22:54,008 --> 00:22:58,246
And this gray hair
is proof of his innocence.

298
00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:00,915
This child is truly special.

299
00:23:00,948 --> 00:23:04,384
- Surely he can hear
the voices of the gods.

300
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,124
<i>- My parents were</i>
<i>hopelessly naive simpletons.</i>

301
00:23:10,157 --> 00:23:13,261
<i>You'd have to be,</i>
<i>in order to found a religion</i>

302
00:23:13,294 --> 00:23:16,130
<i>like the Eternal</i>
<i>Paradise Faith.</i>

303
00:23:16,163 --> 00:23:18,065
<i>I pitied them,</i>

304
00:23:18,099 --> 00:23:21,636
<i>so I always played along</i>
<i>with their make-believe ideas.</i>

305
00:23:22,670 --> 00:23:26,240
<i>I never once heard</i>
<i>the voice of the gods.</i>

306
00:23:26,274 --> 00:23:29,176
<i>At first,</i>
<i>I didn't know how to deal</i>

307
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:33,446
<i>with the hordes of people</i>
<i>worshipping and praying to me.</i>

308
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,918
<i>Seeing these grownups</i>
<i>come crying to a child,</i>

309
00:23:36,951 --> 00:23:40,054
<i>saying they were suffering,</i>
<i>pleading for help,</i>

310
00:23:40,087 --> 00:23:43,658
<i>made me worry</i>
<i>if they were sick in the head.</i>

311
00:23:44,725 --> 00:23:46,627
<i>After nearly</i>
<i>putting me to sleep</i>

312
00:23:46,661 --> 00:23:49,764
<i>with their personal stories,</i>
<i>they would bow to me,</i>

313
00:23:49,797 --> 00:23:52,967
<i>asking to be guided</i>
<i>to Paradise.</i>

314
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,835
<i>I cried.</i>

315
00:23:55,803 --> 00:23:58,306
<i>"You poor things," I thought.</i>

316
00:23:58,339 --> 00:24:01,008
<i>"Paradise doesn't even exist."</i>

317
00:24:01,042 --> 00:24:05,579
<i>It's just a fairy tale</i>
<i>concocted by deluded humans.</i>

318
00:24:06,414 --> 00:24:09,283
<i>There are no gods or buddhas.</i>

319
00:24:09,317 --> 00:24:11,953
<i>These people</i>
<i>had lived for decades,</i>

320
00:24:11,986 --> 00:24:15,856
<i>yet they still couldn't grasp</i>
<i>that simple truth.</i>

321
00:24:15,890 --> 00:24:19,260
<i>When you die,</i>
<i>you return to nothingness.</i>

322
00:24:19,293 --> 00:24:21,195
<i>All feeling ceases.</i>

323
00:24:21,228 --> 00:24:23,531
<i>Your heart stops.</i>

324
00:24:23,564 --> 00:24:25,533
<i>Your brain stops.</i>

325
00:24:25,566 --> 00:24:28,035
<i>You rot and</i>
<i>return to the earth.</i>

326
00:24:28,069 --> 00:24:31,605
<i>Such is the fate</i>
<i>of every living creature.</i>

327
00:24:33,641 --> 00:24:37,345
<i>To be too foolish</i>
<i>to accept reality...</i>

328
00:24:37,378 --> 00:24:40,014
<i>what a hard life that must be.</i>

329
00:24:40,047 --> 00:24:44,218
<i>I want to bring happiness</i>
<i>to these pitiful people.</i>

330
00:24:44,251 --> 00:24:46,020
<i>I want to save them.</i>

331
00:24:47,021 --> 00:24:49,090
<i>I truly believe...</i>

332
00:24:49,123 --> 00:24:51,258
<i>that is my purpose here.</i>

333
00:24:57,465 --> 00:25:00,167
Aww, still nothing.

334
00:25:00,201 --> 00:25:01,669
And that was number five.

335
00:25:01,702 --> 00:25:03,437
What will you do?

336
00:25:03,471 --> 00:25:06,240
The toxin's
getting less effective.

337
00:25:06,273 --> 00:25:10,244
How many more times
do you think you can adapt it?

338
00:25:10,277 --> 00:25:11,979
Oh! Are you out of breath now?

339
00:25:12,013 --> 00:25:14,682
Look at all that sweat.

340
00:25:14,715 --> 00:25:15,883
Are you all right?

341
00:25:15,916 --> 00:25:19,253
<i>- So this is the power</i>
<i>of an Upper Rank.</i>

342
00:25:20,321 --> 00:25:22,623
<i>None of my poisons</i>
<i>are working.</i>

343
00:25:23,624 --> 00:25:26,694
<i>He's adapting too fast</i>
<i>to keep up with!</i>

344
00:25:28,596 --> 00:25:31,065
Your alveoli must be dead now.

345
00:25:33,401 --> 00:25:34,602
Painful.

346
00:25:34,635 --> 00:25:36,337
You did breathe it in...

347
00:25:36,370 --> 00:25:38,773
my Blood Demon Art.

348
00:25:39,907 --> 00:25:42,877
<i>- He turns his frozen blood</i>
<i>into mist</i>

349
00:25:42,910 --> 00:25:45,279
<i>and disperses it</i>
<i>with his fans.</i>

350
00:25:45,312 --> 00:25:48,849
<i>Even breathing around him</i>
<i>is dangerous now.</i>

351
00:25:56,490 --> 00:25:57,758
<i>This time...</i>

352
00:25:57,792 --> 00:26:00,728
<i>I'll increase the dose</i>
<i>with multiple strikes!</i>

353
00:26:01,530 --> 00:26:02,763
<i>Insect Breathing...</i>

354
00:26:02,797 --> 00:26:04,398
<i>Dance of the Dragonfly...</i>

355
00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:13,841
<i>Compound Eye Hexagon!</i>

356
00:26:16,377 --> 00:26:17,645
- I can't believe it.

357
00:26:17,678 --> 00:26:19,747
Such blazing speed.

358
00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:23,818
You might be the fastest
Hashira I've ever met!

359
00:26:27,288 --> 00:26:28,523
<i>He...</i>

360
00:26:28,557 --> 00:26:29,490
<i>got me.</i>

361
00:26:31,325 --> 00:26:32,893
- Forget the poison.

362
00:26:32,927 --> 00:26:35,729
Why not try to decapitate me?

363
00:26:35,763 --> 00:26:38,165
With your speed,
you might have won.

364
00:26:39,166 --> 00:26:41,335
Maybe not.

365
00:26:41,368 --> 00:26:44,171
I mean, you are small.

366
00:26:47,208 --> 00:26:50,744
<i>Why</i> are <i>my hands</i>
<i>so small, I wonder?</i>

367
00:26:52,113 --> 00:26:55,683
<i>How come I was never</i>
<i>able to grow taller?</i>

368
00:26:57,118 --> 00:27:00,321
<i>If my stature were</i>
<i>just a little bigger,</i>

369
00:27:00,354 --> 00:27:04,559
<i>could I have been able</i>
<i>to behead and defeat a demon?</i>

370
00:27:04,593 --> 00:27:07,294
<i>The longer</i>
<i>your arms and legs are,</i>

371
00:27:07,328 --> 00:27:08,963
<i>the more muscles you have,</i>

372
00:27:08,996 --> 00:27:11,999
<i>which means more strength</i>
<i>in your attacks.</i>

373
00:27:14,835 --> 00:27:17,771
<i>My sister was also</i>
<i>of small frame,</i>

374
00:27:17,805 --> 00:27:20,007
<i>but she was taller than I.</i>

375
00:27:21,842 --> 00:27:25,112
<i>How I envy Mr. Himejima.</i>

376
00:27:25,146 --> 00:27:27,681
<i>Seeing someone like him</i>
<i>come to their rescue</i>

377
00:27:27,715 --> 00:27:29,750
<i>would give anyone relief.</i>

378
00:27:33,588 --> 00:27:36,490
<i>I know what my sister</i>
<i>really wanted to say</i>

379
00:27:36,525 --> 00:27:39,260
<i>but didn't have the heart to.</i>

380
00:27:42,696 --> 00:27:44,465
- Oh, no.

381
00:27:44,498 --> 00:27:46,767
Have our games come to an end?

382
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,302
That's too bad.

383
00:27:51,472 --> 00:27:55,176
<i>- "I don't think you'll win</i>
<i>against that demon."</i>

384
00:27:55,209 --> 00:27:57,711
<i>That's what you</i>
<i>were going to say,</i>

385
00:27:57,745 --> 00:28:00,381
<i>but you stopped yourself,</i>
<i>didn't you?</i>

386
00:28:00,414 --> 00:28:03,117
Pull yourself together.

387
00:28:08,289 --> 00:28:10,191
This is no time for tears.

388
00:28:11,358 --> 00:28:13,327
<i>- Sister.</i>

389
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:15,162
- Stand up.

390
00:28:15,196 --> 00:28:16,363
- I can't.

391
00:28:16,397 --> 00:28:18,199
I've lost so much blood.

392
00:28:18,232 --> 00:28:22,403
My left lung is punctured,
and I can't even breathe.

393
00:28:22,436 --> 00:28:24,539
- You can, and you will.

394
00:28:24,573 --> 00:28:25,773
Stand up.

395
00:28:25,806 --> 00:28:28,543
You are a Hashira, Shinobu!

396
00:28:30,177 --> 00:28:33,615
- If you've made up your mind
to defeat him, then do so.

397
00:28:33,648 --> 00:28:36,050
No excuses.

398
00:28:36,083 --> 00:28:39,954
Win by whatever means you can.

399
00:28:39,987 --> 00:28:43,891
Remember your promise
to me and Kanao.

400
00:28:45,660 --> 00:28:47,795
<i>- Kanao.</i>

401
00:28:50,565 --> 00:28:52,466
Forgive me.

402
00:28:52,499 --> 00:28:54,835
You must be suffering
right now.

403
00:28:59,139 --> 00:29:02,142
- I know that you
have it in you.

404
00:29:02,176 --> 00:29:03,777
Do your best.

405
00:29:04,679 --> 00:29:05,946
- Huh?

406
00:29:09,883 --> 00:29:11,686
Wait, are you...

407
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:12,987
standing up?

408
00:29:14,656 --> 00:29:16,056
Scary.

409
00:29:16,090 --> 00:29:18,425
Are you actually a human?

410
00:29:18,459 --> 00:29:23,230
I slashed your collarbone,
your lungs, and your ribs.

411
00:29:23,264 --> 00:29:25,299
At your diminutive size

412
00:29:25,332 --> 00:29:28,135
and the amount
of blood you've lost,

413
00:29:28,168 --> 00:29:30,304
how are you
not dead right now?

414
00:29:31,472 --> 00:29:32,741
- See? Right there!

415
00:29:32,773 --> 00:29:35,876
There clearly is blood
gurgling in your lungs.

416
00:29:35,909 --> 00:29:38,979
The pain must be unimaginable.

417
00:29:39,013 --> 00:29:41,782
Surrender, and I'll put
an end to your suffering.

418
00:29:41,815 --> 00:29:43,183
It'll be quick!

419
00:29:44,018 --> 00:29:46,120
It's too late for you,

420
00:29:46,153 --> 00:29:47,656
so just let go.

421
00:29:47,689 --> 00:29:50,391
<i>- I'll make a go</i>
<i>for his neck this time</i>

422
00:29:50,424 --> 00:29:53,894
<i>and put everything I have</i>
<i>left into this strike!</i>

423
00:29:53,927 --> 00:29:56,430
Insect Breathing...

424
00:29:56,463 --> 00:29:58,399
Dance of the Centipede...

425
00:29:58,432 --> 00:30:00,000
- Hmm?

426
00:30:00,034 --> 00:30:02,202
- Hundred-legged Zigzag.

427
00:30:18,285 --> 00:30:19,453
Huh?

428
00:30:24,958 --> 00:30:28,429
<i>It feels like</i>
<i>she's everywhere at once.</i>

429
00:30:28,462 --> 00:30:30,931
<i>Just her movement</i>
<i>destroyed the bridge.</i>

430
00:30:33,635 --> 00:30:34,868
<i>- So fast.</i>

431
00:30:34,902 --> 00:30:36,504
<i>I can't follow her.</i>

432
00:30:42,644 --> 00:30:43,545
<i>From below?</i>

433
00:30:57,057 --> 00:31:00,227
<i>Back when I was a child...</i>

434
00:31:00,260 --> 00:31:02,496
<i>I thought of happiness</i>
<i>like a road,</i>

435
00:31:02,530 --> 00:31:05,332
<i>one that stretched on</i>
<i>into the distance</i>

436
00:31:05,366 --> 00:31:07,234
<i>with no end in sight.</i>

437
00:31:10,938 --> 00:31:13,107
<i>It wasn't</i>
<i>until it was destroyed</i>

438
00:31:13,140 --> 00:31:15,476
<i>that I finally realized</i>

439
00:31:15,510 --> 00:31:19,446
<i>the road beneath my feet was</i>
<i>but a thin sheet of glass.</i>

440
00:31:22,249 --> 00:31:26,920
<i>However, some haven't</i>
<i>had the glass broken yet.</i>

441
00:31:27,789 --> 00:31:30,057
<i>All I wanted</i>
<i>after being saved</i>

442
00:31:30,090 --> 00:31:32,527
<i>was to become stronger</i>

443
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,197
<i>so that someday</i>
<i>I could protect those people.</i>

444
00:31:38,833 --> 00:31:42,604
<i>So we made a promise...</i>

445
00:31:44,405 --> 00:31:49,243
<i>to vanquish the demons,</i>
<i>as many as we could,</i>

446
00:31:49,276 --> 00:31:50,512
<i>together.</i>

447
00:31:53,247 --> 00:31:56,250
<i>In hopes that the pain</i>
<i>we suffered</i>

448
00:31:56,283 --> 00:31:58,952
<i>would never be felt</i>
<i>by another.</i>

449
00:32:07,161 --> 00:32:09,363
<i>Even if I'm weak...</i>

450
00:32:12,867 --> 00:32:16,136
<i>even if I can't</i>
<i>decapitate demons,</i>

451
00:32:16,170 --> 00:32:20,875
<i>if I can take down just one,</i>
<i>I can save dozens of lives.</i>

452
00:32:20,909 --> 00:32:22,877
<i>And if that demon's</i>
<i>an Upper Rank,</i>

453
00:32:22,911 --> 00:32:25,713
<i>it could mean</i>
<i>saving hundreds!</i>

454
00:32:27,448 --> 00:32:31,051
<i>It's not a matter</i>
<i>of can or cannot.</i>

455
00:32:31,084 --> 00:32:33,588
<i>This is something</i>
<i>I have to do.</i>

456
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:40,394
- Are you angry?

457
00:32:42,196 --> 00:32:45,733
<i>- Yes, I am angry, Tanjiro.</i>

458
00:32:45,767 --> 00:32:47,167
<i>I'm furious.</i>

459
00:32:48,101 --> 00:32:52,574
<i>In fact, I'm always angry.</i>

460
00:32:52,607 --> 00:32:54,374
<i>How could I not be?</i>

461
00:32:56,778 --> 00:32:59,313
<i>My parents were killed.</i>

462
00:33:00,147 --> 00:33:03,484
<i>My older sister was killed.</i>

463
00:33:03,518 --> 00:33:06,621
<i>My Tsuguko, other than Kanao,</i>
<i>were killed.</i>

464
00:33:08,055 --> 00:33:09,891
<i>And those poor girls...</i>

465
00:33:09,924 --> 00:33:12,527
<i>if it weren't for the demons,</i>

466
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,029
<i>if it weren't for the demons</i>
<i>that killed their loved ones,</i>

467
00:33:16,063 --> 00:33:19,500
<i>they'd be living happily</i>
<i>with their families.</i>

468
00:33:21,769 --> 00:33:25,138
<i>It's all so infuriating.</i>

469
00:33:25,172 --> 00:33:27,407
<i>Stop messing with me,</i>
<i>damn it!</i>

470
00:33:27,441 --> 00:33:32,312
<i>Why the hell isn't my poison</i>
<i>working on this prick?</i>

471
00:33:33,347 --> 00:33:34,816
<i>You bastard!</i>

472
00:33:46,026 --> 00:33:46,961
- I'm moved!

473
00:33:46,995 --> 00:33:48,730
You did your best.

474
00:33:48,763 --> 00:33:50,965
Even though you're so weak!

475
00:33:50,999 --> 00:33:52,934
You must have worked
so incredibly hard

476
00:33:52,967 --> 00:33:55,135
to get to this point.

477
00:33:55,168 --> 00:33:57,337
You're weaker
than your sister,

478
00:33:57,371 --> 00:33:59,941
and yet you
somehow outlived her.

479
00:34:01,074 --> 00:34:03,545
It's a miracle
you survived this long.

480
00:34:06,079 --> 00:34:07,347
Even when hope is gone,

481
00:34:07,381 --> 00:34:10,518
humans always fight
to the bitter end.

482
00:34:10,552 --> 00:34:12,286
Humans are so foolish!

483
00:34:12,319 --> 00:34:15,957
But that's what makes them
so beautiful.

484
00:34:15,990 --> 00:34:19,059
I deem you worthy
of becoming part of me.

485
00:34:19,092 --> 00:34:22,062
You and I
shall share eternity!

486
00:34:25,232 --> 00:34:27,869
Do you have any last words?

487
00:34:27,902 --> 00:34:29,771
I'm listening.

488
00:34:34,141 --> 00:34:37,077
Rot in hell, you bastard.

489
00:34:42,082 --> 00:34:43,751
Master!

490
00:35:14,716 --> 00:35:17,785
<i>I can't shake</i>
<i>the feeling he's here.</i>

491
00:35:17,819 --> 00:35:19,386
<i>He must be.</i>

492
00:35:19,419 --> 00:35:22,023
<i>He's got a score to settle</i>
<i>with me, too.</i>

493
00:35:29,262 --> 00:35:30,430
<i>The people we love,</i>

494
00:35:30,464 --> 00:35:34,401
<i>the people we hold dear</i>
<i>are so precious.</i>

495
00:35:34,434 --> 00:35:37,404
<i>We take for granted</i>
<i>that they'll always be there.</i>

496
00:35:38,205 --> 00:35:39,239
<i>However...</i>

497
00:35:39,272 --> 00:35:41,809
<i>that's just</i>
<i>a selfish delusion.</i>

498
00:35:41,843 --> 00:35:43,911
- Flower Breathing...

499
00:35:43,945 --> 00:35:46,346
<i>Because the thought</i>
<i>of living without them</i>

500
00:35:46,380 --> 00:35:48,049
<i>is simply unbearable.</i>

501
00:35:48,082 --> 00:35:49,416
- Fourth Form...

502
00:35:50,217 --> 00:35:52,720
Crimson Hanagoromo!

503
00:35:59,192 --> 00:36:02,295
- Wow.
You nearly got me there.

504
00:36:05,733 --> 00:36:08,636
<i>They'll always</i>
<i>be alive and close by...</i>

505
00:36:09,637 --> 00:36:12,607
<i>it's a naive thought,</i>
<i>I know.</i>

506
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,742
<i>But we all want</i>
<i>to believe it.</i>

507
00:36:18,046 --> 00:36:19,847
- Would you mind
holding off your attacks

508
00:36:19,881 --> 00:36:21,314
for just a second?

509
00:36:21,348 --> 00:36:23,183
I'm trying to absorb her.

510
00:36:31,993 --> 00:36:33,928
- How strange.

511
00:36:33,961 --> 00:36:36,263
You're not taking the bait,
are you?

512
00:36:37,297 --> 00:36:38,599
What she did earlier,

513
00:36:38,633 --> 00:36:41,736
that motion she made
with her fingers,

514
00:36:41,769 --> 00:36:45,372
was that her
warning you of my powers?

515
00:36:45,405 --> 00:36:48,943
I'm impressed she thought
to do that so quickly.

516
00:36:48,976 --> 00:36:50,812
Good job. You did it!

517
00:36:50,845 --> 00:36:52,947
Too bad it doesn't matter.

518
00:36:55,315 --> 00:36:58,452
Well, in case
you were wondering,

519
00:36:58,485 --> 00:37:02,190
your Master was tastier
than I imagined.

520
00:37:04,025 --> 00:37:05,660
And now you're here.

521
00:37:05,693 --> 00:37:09,262
It's just one feast
after another, it seems.

522
00:37:09,296 --> 00:37:13,901
Ah, this truly is...

523
00:37:13,935 --> 00:37:16,236
a wonderful night.

524
00:37:29,416 --> 00:37:31,619
- You can't hide.

525
00:37:31,652 --> 00:37:32,920
Come out.

526
00:37:33,921 --> 00:37:36,657
Have some dignity and face me.

527
00:37:37,959 --> 00:37:41,529
Sounds like someone ought
to teach you some manners.

528
00:37:41,562 --> 00:37:43,731
Did you forget
that I'm your senior?

529
00:37:43,765 --> 00:37:47,769
You look a little stronger
than the last time I saw you.

530
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,707
It's too bad you still reek
of being a pathetic weakling.

531
00:37:57,477 --> 00:38:01,916
It's been a while,
hasn't it, Zenitsu?

532
00:38:04,519 --> 00:38:08,321
- Kaigaku,
you don't get my respect.

533
00:38:08,355 --> 00:38:10,323
You're a demon.

534
00:38:10,357 --> 00:38:12,425
You'll be treated as such.

535
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,375
<i>Water Breathing Ninth Form...</i>

536
00:38:29,844 --> 00:38:32,445
<i>Splashing Water Flow,</i>
<i>Turbulent!</i>

537
00:38:34,882 --> 00:38:36,050
- Stay focused!

538
00:38:36,083 --> 00:38:37,417
- All right!

539
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:40,688
<i>This place is insane.</i>

540
00:38:40,721 --> 00:38:43,157
<i>The building keeps shifting</i>
<i>and rearranging itself,</i>

541
00:38:43,191 --> 00:38:45,226
<i>as if it's alive!</i>

542
00:38:45,259 --> 00:38:48,896
<i>I can tell that it's</i>
<i>trying to separate us!</i>

543
00:38:48,930 --> 00:38:51,265
<i>We have to regroup</i>
<i>with the other Corps members</i>

544
00:38:51,299 --> 00:38:53,935
<i>and stay together</i>
<i>'til we reach Muzan!</i>

545
00:38:57,905 --> 00:38:59,372
- Caw!

546
00:39:00,274 --> 00:39:01,976
Caw!

547
00:39:02,009 --> 00:39:03,443
Attention!

548
00:39:03,476 --> 00:39:05,680
Shinobu Kocho is dead!

549
00:39:05,713 --> 00:39:08,983
She fought valiantly
against Upper Two

550
00:39:09,016 --> 00:39:10,751
but was defeated!

551
00:39:51,959 --> 00:39:53,060
<i>- Strange.</i>

552
00:39:53,094 --> 00:39:55,830
<i>There's a piece of paper</i>
<i>wrapped around its neck.</i>

553
00:39:55,863 --> 00:39:58,099
<i>How are the crows</i>
<i>already here?</i>

554
00:40:02,536 --> 00:40:04,372
- Shinobu is dead.

555
00:40:04,404 --> 00:40:06,774
But we must push forward.

556
00:40:06,807 --> 00:40:10,044
Think only of what
must be done for victory.

557
00:40:10,077 --> 00:40:11,078
- Right.
- Right.

558
00:40:13,381 --> 00:40:14,715
- And what about the others?

559
00:40:14,749 --> 00:40:17,151
I need reports
on their whereabouts.

560
00:40:18,653 --> 00:40:20,288
Center of the 40th vertical

561
00:40:20,321 --> 00:40:21,956
and 12th horizontal levels.

562
00:40:23,891 --> 00:40:25,760
The Corps members
are fighting off

563
00:40:25,793 --> 00:40:28,996
what appears to be
at least ten demons.

564
00:40:35,670 --> 00:40:37,470
However, more than 30 demons

565
00:40:37,505 --> 00:40:40,341
are moving in their direction
from behind the walls.

566
00:40:46,479 --> 00:40:48,582
<i>Using Mr. Yushiro's eyes,</i>

567
00:40:48,616 --> 00:40:50,952
<i>we're able to see</i>
<i>Blood Demon Arts,</i>

568
00:40:50,985 --> 00:40:54,088
<i>something that isn't possible</i>
<i>to do with the human eye.</i>

569
00:40:55,022 --> 00:40:57,258
<i>Each red light</i>
<i>is a Blood Demon Art.</i>

570
00:40:57,291 --> 00:41:00,795
<i>The more intense they glow,</i>
<i>the more potent their power.</i>

571
00:41:01,629 --> 00:41:02,930
<i>And this place...</i>

572
00:41:02,964 --> 00:41:05,366
<i>the entire area,</i>
<i>buildings and all..</i>

573
00:41:05,399 --> 00:41:08,669
<i>must also be</i>
<i>a Blood Demon Art.</i>

574
00:41:08,703 --> 00:41:11,539
<i>There's seemingly</i>
<i>no end in sight to it.</i>

575
00:41:13,741 --> 00:41:15,876
<i>What incredible power.</i>

576
00:41:17,211 --> 00:41:18,512
<i>A demon labyrinth</i>

577
00:41:18,546 --> 00:41:21,182
<i>with the ability</i>
<i>to branch out endlessly.</i>

578
00:41:24,552 --> 00:41:26,120
<i>And here we lie</i>
<i>at its center,</i>

579
00:41:26,153 --> 00:41:29,757
<i>trapped within the walls</i>
<i>of this infinite castle.</i>

580
00:41:29,790 --> 00:41:31,625
- This one's finished.
- ...goes over there.

581
00:41:31,659 --> 00:41:32,660
- Okay. Goes right there.

582
00:41:32,693 --> 00:41:33,694
- Bring it over here.

583
00:41:33,728 --> 00:41:35,029
<i>- However...</i>
- Yes, that's right.

584
00:41:35,062 --> 00:41:37,198
<i>- ...it's not as if we've</i>
<i>been caught off guard.</i>

585
00:41:37,231 --> 00:41:41,802
<i>My father prepared</i>
<i>for this day meticulously.</i>

586
00:41:41,836 --> 00:41:44,005
<i>With Gyomei's cooperation,</i>

587
00:41:44,038 --> 00:41:46,040
<i>he had the Hashira</i>
<i>within arm's reach</i>

588
00:41:46,073 --> 00:41:47,708
<i>to mobilize at any time.</i>

589
00:41:47,742 --> 00:41:50,611
<i>To prevent the Corps members</i>
<i>from being isolated,</i>

590
00:41:50,644 --> 00:41:53,481
<i>he sent the Kasugai Crows</i>
<i>to gather them into groups</i>

591
00:41:53,514 --> 00:41:54,849
<i>and waited.</i>

592
00:41:54,882 --> 00:41:59,220
<i>He enlisted the aid of</i>
<i>Ms. Tamayo and Mr. Yushiro.</i>

593
00:41:59,253 --> 00:42:00,454
<i>And finally,</i>

594
00:42:00,488 --> 00:42:03,557
<i>to ensure that their plan</i>
<i>would succeed,</i>

595
00:42:03,591 --> 00:42:06,961
<i>my sisters and our parents</i>

596
00:42:06,994 --> 00:42:09,163
<i>readily sacrificed</i>
<i>their lives.</i>

597
00:42:12,466 --> 00:42:15,936
We cannot lose,
no matter what.

598
00:42:22,511 --> 00:42:24,311
<i>Amongst the Blood Demon Arts,</i>

599
00:42:24,345 --> 00:42:25,713
<i>there are</i>
<i>five traces of power</i>

600
00:42:25,746 --> 00:42:27,481
<i>that tower over the rest,</i>

601
00:42:27,516 --> 00:42:29,884
<i>as if flaunting</i>
<i>their strength.</i>

602
00:42:29,917 --> 00:42:32,453
<i>These must be Upper Ranks.</i>

603
00:42:32,486 --> 00:42:34,822
<i>One of them</i>
<i>is at the same spot</i>

604
00:42:34,855 --> 00:42:36,924
<i>where Shinobu</i>
<i>was last seen fighting.</i>

605
00:42:37,625 --> 00:42:38,959
- Found another!

606
00:42:38,993 --> 00:42:42,296
Upper Six and Zenitsu have
just encountered each other!

607
00:42:42,329 --> 00:42:43,931
- An Upper Rank!

608
00:42:43,964 --> 00:42:44,965
Is he alone?

609
00:42:44,999 --> 00:42:47,668
- He is.
It looks to be a one-on-one.

610
00:42:47,701 --> 00:42:50,505
A Hinoe can't beat
an Upper Rank by themself.

611
00:42:50,539 --> 00:42:51,872
Send backup!

612
00:42:58,712 --> 00:43:00,781
What, you frozen in fear?

613
00:43:00,815 --> 00:43:02,817
Guess some things
never change.

614
00:43:02,850 --> 00:43:05,586
Once a coward,
always a coward.

615
00:43:05,619 --> 00:43:08,122
Did you ever
become a Hashira?

616
00:43:08,155 --> 00:43:10,191
Guess not.

617
00:43:10,224 --> 00:43:12,193
That's too bad.

618
00:43:12,226 --> 00:43:14,195
Got any new techniques?

619
00:43:14,228 --> 00:43:16,697
Or still just First Form?

620
00:43:16,730 --> 00:43:18,833
For an Upper Rank
bottom feeder

621
00:43:18,866 --> 00:43:20,935
who's nothing more
than a spare blade,

622
00:43:20,968 --> 00:43:23,337
you're sure acting
awfully proud.

623
00:43:24,371 --> 00:43:25,906
- Wow.

624
00:43:27,041 --> 00:43:30,711
Who taught you to talk
like that? New friends?

625
00:43:30,744 --> 00:43:33,614
- Why the hell
did you become a demon?

626
00:43:34,549 --> 00:43:35,816
You'd never understan--

627
00:43:35,850 --> 00:43:38,385
- You were supposed
to succeed Thunder Breathing,

628
00:43:38,419 --> 00:43:39,954
but you tarnished it!

629
00:43:41,222 --> 00:43:42,524
- Huh?

630
00:43:42,557 --> 00:43:44,925
- After you became a demon...

631
00:43:44,959 --> 00:43:46,827
he...

632
00:43:47,628 --> 00:43:50,030
he committed seppuku!

633
00:43:51,065 --> 00:43:52,500
Even worse...

634
00:43:52,534 --> 00:43:55,035
he did it by himself.

635
00:43:56,137 --> 00:43:58,105
He was all alone.

636
00:43:59,340 --> 00:44:00,575
Because of that,

637
00:44:00,609 --> 00:44:02,743
no one was there
to put him out his misery.

638
00:44:02,776 --> 00:44:05,679
He bled out
and died a painful death.

639
00:44:05,713 --> 00:44:07,715
It's your fault.

640
00:44:07,748 --> 00:44:11,152
Gramps died the most
agonizing death possible!

641
00:44:11,185 --> 00:44:13,220
All because
the Thunder Breathing ranks

642
00:44:13,254 --> 00:44:14,321
produced a demon!

643
00:44:16,290 --> 00:44:18,627
- Why the hell should I care?

644
00:44:18,659 --> 00:44:21,362
Gramps died? So what.

645
00:44:21,395 --> 00:44:22,730
Want me to cry?

646
00:44:22,763 --> 00:44:25,199
Did you expect me
to give a damn?

647
00:44:25,232 --> 00:44:26,367
Well, I don't.

648
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,902
In fact,
I don't care for anyone

649
00:44:27,935 --> 00:44:30,104
who doesn't appreciate me.

650
00:44:30,137 --> 00:44:31,805
No matter what,

651
00:44:31,839 --> 00:44:33,741
this is who I am.

652
00:44:33,774 --> 00:44:36,645
Take the side
of whoever knows my worth.

653
00:44:37,978 --> 00:44:41,315
If the old geezer
really did die in agony,

654
00:44:41,348 --> 00:44:42,917
then I couldn't be happier.

655
00:44:42,950 --> 00:44:46,086
I slaved away
for that ungrateful bastard.

656
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,523
And what does he do
to repay me?

657
00:44:48,557 --> 00:44:50,224
He makes you my co-successor

658
00:44:50,257 --> 00:44:52,426
instead of just letting me
carry the torch.

659
00:44:52,459 --> 00:44:54,461
I hope he rots!

660
00:44:54,495 --> 00:44:56,697
Former Hashira or not,

661
00:44:56,730 --> 00:45:00,100
I would never shed a tear
over some senile geezer.

662
00:45:05,674 --> 00:45:08,309
Gramps knew exactly
what he was doing.

663
00:45:08,342 --> 00:45:11,879
We were made co-successors
because we're weak.

664
00:45:11,912 --> 00:45:14,048
I was only able
to use the First Form,

665
00:45:14,081 --> 00:45:16,917
while you could use
everything but First Form.

666
00:45:16,951 --> 00:45:19,554
I can't help
but feel sorry for Gramps

667
00:45:19,588 --> 00:45:22,022
that he has
two useless successors!

668
00:45:22,056 --> 00:45:23,924
- Don't lump us together.

669
00:45:23,958 --> 00:45:26,493
I'm nothing like you!

670
00:45:26,528 --> 00:45:29,363
Thunder Breathing
Fourth Form...

671
00:45:29,396 --> 00:45:30,731
Distant Thunder!

672
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,108
- You're so slow, scum.

673
00:45:46,581 --> 00:45:47,781
<i>What the hell?</i>

674
00:45:47,815 --> 00:45:50,851
<i>He got me.</i>
<i>His speed is unreal.</i>

675
00:45:50,884 --> 00:45:53,254
<i>He never moved like that.</i>

676
00:45:53,287 --> 00:45:55,256
<i>He's changed.</i>

677
00:45:56,691 --> 00:45:59,126
<i>But he's not the only one.</i>

678
00:46:09,136 --> 00:46:12,674
<i>There's no shame in kneeling</i>
<i>down before the powerful</i>

679
00:46:12,707 --> 00:46:14,908
<i>if it means surviving.</i>

680
00:46:14,942 --> 00:46:19,079
<i>As long as you're alive,</i>
<i>you can still win.</i>

681
00:46:19,980 --> 00:46:23,417
<i>Only once you die</i>
<i>have you lost.</i>

682
00:46:23,450 --> 00:46:26,820
<i>Even if you have to beg</i>
<i>on your hands and knees,</i>

683
00:46:26,854 --> 00:46:28,657
<i>even if you're without a home</i>

684
00:46:28,690 --> 00:46:31,125
<i>and have to drink</i>
<i>from a puddle,</i>

685
00:46:31,158 --> 00:46:35,029
<i>even if they condemn you</i>
<i>for stealing money,</i>

686
00:46:35,062 --> 00:46:36,864
<i>as long as you're alive,</i>

687
00:46:36,897 --> 00:46:39,800
<i>there's still a future</i>
<i>where you can win.</i>

688
00:46:39,833 --> 00:46:43,538
<i>Believing that is</i>
<i>all that's kept me going.</i>

689
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,941
- Forfeit your humanity,

690
00:46:47,975 --> 00:46:51,879
and limitless power
will be within reach.

691
00:46:51,912 --> 00:46:55,182
Should my Lord choose
to acknowledge you,

692
00:46:55,215 --> 00:46:58,385
demon blood shall coarse
through your veins.

693
00:47:02,524 --> 00:47:04,258
- The stronger the swordsman,

694
00:47:04,291 --> 00:47:08,429
the longer it takes
for him to become a demon.

695
00:47:08,462 --> 00:47:12,032
It took me three days
to fully transform.

696
00:47:12,066 --> 00:47:15,436
Turning a Breathing
Technique user into a demon

697
00:47:15,469 --> 00:47:17,237
is no small feat.

698
00:47:17,271 --> 00:47:18,372
Doing such a thing

699
00:47:18,405 --> 00:47:22,042
will require an exorbitant
amount of my Lord's blood.

700
00:47:22,076 --> 00:47:24,713
And though it is rare,

701
00:47:24,746 --> 00:47:26,380
some people,
for whatever reason,

702
00:47:26,413 --> 00:47:29,149
are physically incapable
of becoming demons.

703
00:47:29,183 --> 00:47:30,050
- Huh?

704
00:47:30,084 --> 00:47:33,688
- I'm curious to see
how you will fare.

705
00:47:37,057 --> 00:47:39,661
You must appreciate
this blood.

706
00:47:39,694 --> 00:47:44,932
Even holding it as you are now
is an honor you cannot fathom.

707
00:47:44,965 --> 00:47:47,267
Should you spill
a single drop,

708
00:47:47,301 --> 00:47:50,137
I'll have you dismembered
in an instant,

709
00:47:50,170 --> 00:47:52,674
before it touches the ground.

710
00:47:57,512 --> 00:48:02,049
<i>Even now, I remember</i>
<i>the terror I felt,</i>

711
00:48:02,082 --> 00:48:06,253
<i>like every cell in my body</i>
<i>was screaming in anguish.</i>

712
00:48:08,989 --> 00:48:12,794
<i>Compared to what I felt then,</i>
<i>this is nothing.</i>

713
00:48:12,827 --> 00:48:15,062
<i>He's just a punk.</i>

714
00:48:15,095 --> 00:48:16,531
<i>He might be stronger,</i>

715
00:48:16,564 --> 00:48:18,600
<i>but he's not on par</i>
<i>with an Upper Rank.</i>

716
00:48:18,633 --> 00:48:23,971
<i>Zenitsu Agatsuma</i>
<i>is and always will be trash.</i>

717
00:48:24,004 --> 00:48:25,874
<i>He's a despicable crybaby</i>

718
00:48:25,906 --> 00:48:28,510
<i>without a shred</i>
<i>of dignity or valor.</i>

719
00:48:28,543 --> 00:48:30,277
- Somebody help!

720
00:48:30,310 --> 00:48:34,982
I fell in a pitfall
and twisted my ankle!

721
00:48:35,784 --> 00:48:37,284
<i>- The disrespect.</i>

722
00:48:37,317 --> 00:48:41,121
<i>As if I'd be co-successor</i>
<i>with that sniveling loser.</i>

723
00:48:41,155 --> 00:48:43,725
- Here you are, Kaigaku.

724
00:48:43,758 --> 00:48:45,627
- Hey, Gramps!

725
00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:46,828
Hmm?

726
00:48:46,861 --> 00:48:50,063
- It looks a little big on me,
don't you think?

727
00:48:50,097 --> 00:48:51,265
Maybe I'll grow into it...

728
00:48:51,298 --> 00:48:54,301
<i>- I'm supposed to be</i>
<i>that idiot's equal?</i>

729
00:48:56,069 --> 00:48:58,706
<i>- That's gotta be</i>
<i>some kind of sick joke.</i>

730
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:02,911
The old bastard
deserved to die!

731
00:49:02,943 --> 00:49:05,212
And if you miss him so dearly,

732
00:49:05,245 --> 00:49:08,115
then I'll see to it
you join him!

733
00:49:08,148 --> 00:49:12,019
<i>- I was only ever able</i>
<i>to learn the First Form,</i>

734
00:49:12,052 --> 00:49:13,454
<i>However, you were able</i>

735
00:49:13,487 --> 00:49:15,824
<i>to learn everything</i>
<i>but the First Form.</i>

736
00:49:18,693 --> 00:49:20,360
<i>Gramps knew that.</i>

737
00:49:20,394 --> 00:49:22,429
<i>His solution</i>
<i>was having us both</i>

738
00:49:22,463 --> 00:49:25,232
<i>succeed the Thunder</i>
<i>Breathing technique.</i>

739
00:49:27,669 --> 00:49:29,303
<i>But you denied him that.</i>

740
00:49:30,103 --> 00:49:32,439
<i>You became a demon</i>

741
00:49:32,473 --> 00:49:34,408
<i>purely to reject him.</i>

742
00:49:36,711 --> 00:49:37,712
<i>It's coming.</i>

743
00:49:37,745 --> 00:49:40,347
- Thunder Breathing
Second Form...

744
00:49:41,448 --> 00:49:42,584
Rice Spirit!

745
00:49:44,985 --> 00:49:48,021
<i>He attacked five times</i>
<i>in one breath.</i>

746
00:49:50,324 --> 00:49:52,259
How many people
have you devoured?!

747
00:49:52,292 --> 00:49:55,429
You can't even tell
right from wrong anymore!

748
00:49:55,462 --> 00:49:58,265
- I'm more aware of those
than I've ever been!

749
00:49:59,667 --> 00:50:00,768
What's the matter?

750
00:50:00,802 --> 00:50:04,639
Aren't you supposed to be
the old geezer's favorite?

751
00:50:04,672 --> 00:50:06,206
If you are...

752
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:08,576
then show me
what he passed down to you!

753
00:50:08,610 --> 00:50:12,212
It's the only technique
you've got, so use it!

754
00:50:14,883 --> 00:50:18,252
Go all out.
Use everything you got.

755
00:50:18,285 --> 00:50:20,622
And don't you dare
hold back for a second!

756
00:50:27,060 --> 00:50:28,495
Thunder Breathing...

757
00:50:30,932 --> 00:50:32,332
First Form...

758
00:50:33,701 --> 00:50:36,203
- Thunderclap and Flash!

759
00:50:42,109 --> 00:50:44,979
As if a basic attack
like charging me head on

760
00:50:45,013 --> 00:50:47,247
would ever find its mark.

761
00:50:47,281 --> 00:50:49,116
Don't make me laugh!

762
00:50:50,718 --> 00:50:52,620
Thunder Breathing...

763
00:50:52,654 --> 00:50:54,087
Third Form...

764
00:50:54,121 --> 00:50:55,557
Thunder Swarm!

765
00:51:01,094 --> 00:51:03,731
<i>He's attacking me</i>
<i>from every angle at once.</i>

766
00:51:03,765 --> 00:51:04,999
- What's the matter?

767
00:51:05,033 --> 00:51:07,602
Don't tell me
you're done already!

768
00:51:08,903 --> 00:51:10,370
<i>- Thunder Breathing</i>
<i>First Form:</i>

769
00:51:10,404 --> 00:51:13,340
<i>Thunderclap and Flash,</i>
<i>Eightfold!</i>

770
00:51:17,912 --> 00:51:19,547
- That's not gonna work!

771
00:51:20,782 --> 00:51:21,916
Thunder Breathing...

772
00:51:21,950 --> 00:51:23,818
Fifth Form...

773
00:51:26,521 --> 00:51:27,689
Heat Lightning!

774
00:51:29,489 --> 00:51:31,391
- Got ya!

775
00:51:31,425 --> 00:51:34,929
How does the bite of my Blood
Demon Art-enhanced sword feel?

776
00:51:34,963 --> 00:51:37,632
Each strike, on contact,

777
00:51:37,665 --> 00:51:40,935
leaves a wound
that burns your skin.

778
00:51:40,969 --> 00:51:43,170
This proves those
who recognize my talents

779
00:51:43,203 --> 00:51:44,539
and value are right!

780
00:51:44,572 --> 00:51:48,543
And those that dismiss
or condemn me are wrong!

781
00:51:48,576 --> 00:51:50,377
Do you get it now?

782
00:51:50,410 --> 00:51:53,014
This is the power I have!

783
00:51:53,047 --> 00:51:55,282
My power as a demon, that is!

784
00:51:55,315 --> 00:51:57,819
All you know how to do
is use First Form!

785
00:51:57,852 --> 00:52:00,955
Yet that geezer chose
to make you his successor!

786
00:52:00,989 --> 00:52:02,991
And, boy,
what a mistake that was!

787
00:52:10,064 --> 00:52:11,431
So that's it.

788
00:52:11,465 --> 00:52:14,368
This is the path
that you've chosen to take.

789
00:52:15,637 --> 00:52:17,772
I already knew.

790
00:52:17,805 --> 00:52:19,540
I knew, but...

791
00:52:24,545 --> 00:52:27,582
- With this strike,
I'll end this!

792
00:52:27,615 --> 00:52:28,883
You're finished!

793
00:52:28,916 --> 00:52:30,885
Thunder Breathing...

794
00:52:31,919 --> 00:52:33,888
Sixth Form...

795
00:52:41,996 --> 00:52:44,632
Rumble and Flash!

796
00:52:44,666 --> 00:52:48,569
That strike I landed will keep
crackling through your flesh.

797
00:52:48,603 --> 00:52:52,774
This is the power that I
gained by becoming a demon.

798
00:52:52,807 --> 00:52:54,307
Get it now?

799
00:52:54,341 --> 00:52:56,376
I've long surpassed
Thunder Breathing!

800
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,382
You and I aren't equals,

801
00:53:02,416 --> 00:53:03,951
and we never have been!

802
00:53:03,985 --> 00:53:06,754
I'm better than all of you.

803
00:53:06,788 --> 00:53:08,221
Guess the old bastard

804
00:53:08,255 --> 00:53:10,758
shouldn't have put his trust
in you after all.

805
00:53:15,195 --> 00:53:18,166
Come on!
be more like Kaigaku!

806
00:53:18,198 --> 00:53:19,567
He's your senior!

807
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,869
So follow his example,
you hear?

808
00:53:21,903 --> 00:53:23,838
- Hang on.
Isn't the First Form

809
00:53:23,871 --> 00:53:26,574
pretty much the entire basis
of Thunder Breathing?

810
00:53:26,607 --> 00:53:29,242
- Yeah, and it's
the only one he can't do.

811
00:53:29,276 --> 00:53:31,512
You know what that means,
don't ya?

812
00:53:31,546 --> 00:53:33,948
- That even though
he's mastered other forms,

813
00:53:33,981 --> 00:53:35,282
he's still a weakling?

814
00:53:35,315 --> 00:53:36,918
- Yup, exactly.

815
00:53:36,951 --> 00:53:38,251
The way he shows off, though?

816
00:53:38,285 --> 00:53:39,520
He's got such an ego.

817
00:53:39,554 --> 00:53:42,056
- No way he becomes a Hashira.

818
00:53:42,090 --> 00:53:44,926
- Yeah, he'll die before then.

819
00:53:44,959 --> 00:53:47,562
- What'd I do
to deserve that?!

820
00:53:48,830 --> 00:53:52,265
- I heard you went and punched
someone from a higher rank.

821
00:53:52,299 --> 00:53:54,569
Don't go around
makin' trouble, you trash!

822
00:53:54,602 --> 00:53:58,740
It's embarrassing even being
seen in the same room as you.

823
00:54:01,175 --> 00:54:04,712
<i>I was fully aware</i>
<i>that you hated me, Kaigaku.</i>

824
00:54:04,746 --> 00:54:06,848
<i>And to be</i>
<i>perfectly honest...</i>

825
00:54:06,881 --> 00:54:09,083
<i>I hated you, too.</i>

826
00:54:09,117 --> 00:54:10,752
<i>Even so,</i>

827
00:54:10,785 --> 00:54:13,855
<i>I couldn't help</i>
<i>but respect you as well.</i>

828
00:54:13,888 --> 00:54:17,290
<i>You never stopped working</i>
<i>towards your goals.</i>

829
00:54:18,126 --> 00:54:20,228
<i>Despite our differences,</i>

830
00:54:20,260 --> 00:54:23,164
<i>I looked up to you</i>
<i>as an example.</i>

831
00:54:23,197 --> 00:54:25,600
<i>You really were</i>
<i>a special guy.</i>

832
00:54:27,101 --> 00:54:28,803
<i>It wasn't just me.</i>

833
00:54:28,836 --> 00:54:31,438
<i>Gramps thought</i>
<i>you were remarkable, too.</i>

834
00:54:32,339 --> 00:54:33,574
<i>But I guess...</i>

835
00:54:33,608 --> 00:54:35,910
<i>you weren't satisfied</i>
<i>with that, were you?</i>

836
00:54:35,943 --> 00:54:38,311
<i>No matter the day,</i>

837
00:54:38,345 --> 00:54:42,216
<i>the only sound that came</i>
<i>from you was discontent.</i>

838
00:54:43,518 --> 00:54:46,721
<i>It was like the box</i>
<i>where you kept your joy</i>

839
00:54:46,754 --> 00:54:48,321
<i>had a hole in it.</i>

840
00:54:49,757 --> 00:54:52,392
<i>And that joy</i>
<i>kept leaking out.</i>

841
00:54:53,594 --> 00:54:55,863
<i>If the hole isn't mended,</i>

842
00:54:55,897 --> 00:54:58,766
<i>happiness will always</i>
<i>be out of reach.</i>

843
00:55:01,301 --> 00:55:04,404
<i>Gramps,</i>
<i>I'm sorry we're fighting.</i>

844
00:55:05,405 --> 00:55:09,744
<i>But he and I</i>
<i>must walk separate paths.</i>

845
00:55:19,554 --> 00:55:20,353
- Huh?

846
00:55:20,387 --> 00:55:23,157
<i>He's still holding on?</i>

847
00:55:32,399 --> 00:55:33,768
What the hell?!

848
00:55:42,176 --> 00:55:44,679
<i>- Brother...</i>

849
00:55:44,712 --> 00:55:45,880
<i>I'm sorry.</i>

850
00:56:05,633 --> 00:56:09,270
<i>- Thunder Breathing</i>
<i>Seventh Form...</i>

851
00:56:11,973 --> 00:56:14,976
<i>- ...God of Fire Thunder.</i>

852
00:56:21,215 --> 00:56:22,984
<i>That...</i>

853
00:56:23,017 --> 00:56:25,786
<i>was so fast.</i>

854
00:56:25,820 --> 00:56:27,021
<i>That move...</i>

855
00:56:27,054 --> 00:56:27,989
<i>what was it?!</i>

856
00:56:28,022 --> 00:56:29,924
<i>Unbelievable.</i>

857
00:56:29,957 --> 00:56:33,361
<i>How come I've never seen</i>
<i>that technique until now?</i>

858
00:56:33,393 --> 00:56:35,062
Damn you.

859
00:56:35,096 --> 00:56:36,264
Damn you!

860
00:56:36,297 --> 00:56:39,700
I always knew that stupid
geezer liked you more than me!

861
00:56:39,734 --> 00:56:42,837
Why else would he only
teach you that technique?!

862
00:56:42,870 --> 00:56:44,739
- You're wrong.

863
00:56:46,707 --> 00:56:49,677
- Gramps was never
that kind of person.

864
00:56:49,710 --> 00:56:53,547
This technique
is something I made.

865
00:56:53,581 --> 00:56:57,318
I created it all by myself.

866
00:56:57,351 --> 00:56:59,687
My hope was...

867
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:02,957
that one day,
I'd be able to use it

868
00:57:02,990 --> 00:57:04,892
to fight by your side.

869
00:57:08,461 --> 00:57:10,898
<i>- How is this even possible?</i>

870
00:57:10,932 --> 00:57:14,168
<i>Thunder Breathing</i>
<i>only has six techniques,</i>

871
00:57:14,201 --> 00:57:17,939
<i>and yet</i> he <i>was able</i>
<i>to create a seventh</i> ?

872
00:57:17,972 --> 00:57:22,475
<i>Him? The one who can</i>
<i>only use the First Form?</i>

873
00:57:22,510 --> 00:57:26,080
<i>He's inferior to me</i>
<i>in every way!</i>

874
00:57:27,648 --> 00:57:29,116
<i>I can't accept it.</i>

875
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,551
<i>I won't accept it!</i>

876
00:57:30,584 --> 00:57:33,220
<i>This must be some</i>
<i>kind of twisted joke!</i>

877
00:57:33,254 --> 00:57:37,091
<i>Someone like me</i>
<i>losing to him?!</i>

878
00:57:38,192 --> 00:57:40,594
<i>I must be going insane.</i>

879
00:57:42,363 --> 00:57:46,434
<i>Wait,</i>
<i>with his strength depleted,</i>

880
00:57:46,466 --> 00:57:48,736
<i>I can still have</i>
<i>the last laugh.</i>

881
00:57:48,769 --> 00:57:51,505
<i>This fall will kill him,</i>
<i>and he can't stop it!</i>

882
00:57:51,539 --> 00:57:54,809
<i>I'll be taking him</i>
<i>to hell with me.</i>

883
00:57:56,377 --> 00:57:57,945
Those who never give to others

884
00:57:57,979 --> 00:58:00,514
are never able
to receive in return.

885
00:58:02,316 --> 00:58:04,118
- People who have
nothing but desire

886
00:58:04,151 --> 00:58:06,721
are no different than those
who have nothing at all.

887
00:58:06,754 --> 00:58:10,791
And one cannot create
anything out of nothing.

888
00:58:11,792 --> 00:58:14,729
Dying alone is pathetic,
wouldn't you say?

889
00:58:37,018 --> 00:58:38,285
Where am I?

890
00:58:46,527 --> 00:58:47,762
Gramps!

891
00:58:50,898 --> 00:58:51,932
I'm sorry!

892
00:58:51,966 --> 00:58:54,602
I-I couldn't
get along with Kaigaku!

893
00:58:54,635 --> 00:58:56,937
I even tried
writing him letters,

894
00:58:56,971 --> 00:58:59,607
but-- but he never
wrote me back, and...

895
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,642
If it weren't for me,

896
00:59:01,675 --> 00:59:04,412
he might not have ended up
the way he did.

897
00:59:04,445 --> 00:59:06,981
I'm really sorry! Forgive me!

898
00:59:07,014 --> 00:59:10,117
I wasn't able to pay you back
for everything.

899
00:59:10,151 --> 00:59:13,320
I really wanted you
to see me as a Hashira,

900
00:59:13,354 --> 00:59:15,222
to make you proud.

901
00:59:15,256 --> 00:59:16,590
I'm sorry.

902
00:59:16,624 --> 00:59:18,359
I failed you, Gramps!

903
00:59:21,195 --> 00:59:24,365
I understand
if you hate me now.

904
00:59:24,398 --> 00:59:27,735
Please, just say something,
anything!

905
00:59:29,538 --> 00:59:30,438
Damn it!

906
00:59:30,471 --> 00:59:32,840
What's this grabbing my leg?

907
00:59:34,141 --> 00:59:36,143
Gramps! I just...

908
00:59:36,177 --> 00:59:38,145
I need--

909
00:59:39,914 --> 00:59:41,148
Damn it.

910
00:59:43,217 --> 00:59:44,919
- Zenitsu.

911
00:59:52,226 --> 00:59:53,694
Listen to me, lad.

912
00:59:53,727 --> 00:59:56,197
You are my pride and joy.

913
01:00:19,386 --> 01:00:21,722
Well?
Can you save him?

914
01:00:21,755 --> 01:00:23,424
He's someone that I know.

915
01:00:23,457 --> 01:00:24,859
I can't watch him die.

916
01:00:24,892 --> 01:00:26,627
Please tell me there's a way!

917
01:00:26,660 --> 01:00:28,863
- Keep your voice down.
You're not helping.

918
01:00:28,896 --> 01:00:31,298
Just watch out
for enemy ambushes.

919
01:00:31,332 --> 01:00:34,201
Least then, you'll actually
be doing something useful.

920
01:00:35,302 --> 01:00:38,172
'Scuse me?! And just
who the hell are you, huh?!

921
01:00:38,205 --> 01:00:41,175
I better not find out
you're a lower rank than I am!

922
01:00:41,208 --> 01:00:42,076
<i>- I'm a demon.</i>

923
01:00:42,109 --> 01:00:45,646
<i>I don't care</i>
<i>about your hierarchy.</i>

924
01:00:45,679 --> 01:00:47,381
This'll slow
the Blood Demon Art,

925
01:00:47,414 --> 01:00:49,584
but if these cracks
keep spreading,

926
01:00:49,618 --> 01:00:52,186
it'll travel
all the way to his eyes.

927
01:00:53,220 --> 01:00:55,022
Hey, can you hear me?

928
01:00:58,459 --> 01:01:01,395
- Your bedside manner
really sucks! You know that?!

929
01:01:01,428 --> 01:01:02,963
- I'm also using a hemostatic,

930
01:01:02,997 --> 01:01:04,832
but I still can't get
the bleeding to stop.

931
01:01:04,865 --> 01:01:06,100
- What did I say?!

932
01:01:06,133 --> 01:01:07,268
Don't listen to him!

933
01:01:07,301 --> 01:01:08,435
You're gonna be fine!

934
01:01:08,469 --> 01:01:09,803
I swear
you'll pull through this!

935
01:01:09,837 --> 01:01:11,272
- Yeah, you can do it!

936
01:01:11,305 --> 01:01:12,607
- Fight on! Fight on!

937
01:01:12,641 --> 01:01:15,042
- The only reason
you're alive right now

938
01:01:15,075 --> 01:01:16,777
is because
the Upper Rank you fought

939
01:01:16,810 --> 01:01:19,581
still hadn't mastered
his own techniques.

940
01:01:19,614 --> 01:01:21,650
That was lucky for you.

941
01:01:21,682 --> 01:01:23,817
If you'd fought him
a year from now,

942
01:01:23,851 --> 01:01:25,654
you would have died instantly.

943
01:01:27,254 --> 01:01:29,524
Could you stop
with the doom and gloom?

944
01:01:29,558 --> 01:01:31,660
Consider his feelings!

945
01:01:37,932 --> 01:01:41,268
Hey, don't pretend like
I'm the one in the wrong here.

946
01:01:42,069 --> 01:01:43,404
What?

947
01:01:43,437 --> 01:01:44,673
What are you pointing at?

948
01:01:44,705 --> 01:01:47,542
- Your screaming let
the demons know we're here.

949
01:01:49,476 --> 01:01:51,178
- Don't say I didn't warn you.

950
01:01:52,614 --> 01:01:54,748
- Hey, it was Yushiro, right?

951
01:01:54,782 --> 01:01:57,184
Take care of Agatsuma.

952
01:01:57,218 --> 01:01:58,385
Charge!

953
01:02:00,387 --> 01:02:03,625
- Murata, please take care
of them quickly, okay?

954
01:02:03,658 --> 01:02:05,993
- I am gonna give you
such an earful later!

955
01:02:06,026 --> 01:02:07,094
- Damn.

956
01:02:08,729 --> 01:02:11,265
- Water Breathing
Second Form...

957
01:02:11,298 --> 01:02:12,567
Water Wheel!

958
01:02:15,670 --> 01:02:17,037
We're gonna head them off!

959
01:02:17,071 --> 01:02:18,739
Follow my lead, everyone!

960
01:02:35,724 --> 01:02:37,024
<i>This is bad.</i>

961
01:02:37,057 --> 01:02:38,759
They're gonna run into <i>him</i> .

962
01:02:42,062 --> 01:02:44,832
<i>- We haven't encountered</i>
<i>any Upper Ranks.</i>

963
01:02:44,865 --> 01:02:47,134
<i>Are we still</i>
<i>that far from Muzan?</i>

964
01:02:47,167 --> 01:02:49,370
<i>I hope the others</i>
<i>are all right.</i>

965
01:02:52,574 --> 01:02:54,074
<i>Ms. Shinobu.</i>

966
01:02:54,975 --> 01:02:57,278
<i>We're going to win</i>
<i>this battle...</i>

967
01:02:57,311 --> 01:02:59,913
<i>for you, for everyone.</i>

968
01:03:02,684 --> 01:03:04,753
- That jolt, what was that?

969
01:03:04,785 --> 01:03:06,487
- M-Mr. Giyu!

970
01:03:06,521 --> 01:03:08,255
- Stay there! Keep calm.

971
01:03:11,091 --> 01:03:13,027
<i>- Is someone else fighting?</i>

972
01:03:13,060 --> 01:03:15,329
<i>Are we about to lose</i>
<i>another comrade?</i>

973
01:03:21,035 --> 01:03:23,937
<i>No, it's something else...</i>

974
01:03:23,971 --> 01:03:25,806
<i>and it's coming this way.</i>

975
01:03:28,409 --> 01:03:30,578
<i>This-- This scent...</i>

976
01:03:38,653 --> 01:03:39,920
Above us!

977
01:03:39,953 --> 01:03:41,255
Get back, Tanjiro!

978
01:03:45,627 --> 01:03:47,895
- Long time no see.

979
01:03:49,263 --> 01:03:52,600
It's commendable
you got this far.

980
01:03:52,634 --> 01:03:55,603
Especially for a puny insect.

981
01:03:56,805 --> 01:03:58,439
Don't you agree...

982
01:03:58,472 --> 01:03:59,674
Tanjiro?!

983
01:04:02,242 --> 01:04:05,112
Akaza!

984
01:04:37,411 --> 01:04:38,879
<i>This place...</i>

985
01:04:38,912 --> 01:04:41,148
<i>if I had to guess,</i>
<i>this fleshy cocoon</i>

986
01:04:41,181 --> 01:04:43,450
<i>is breaking down</i>
<i>and disposing the drug</i>

987
01:04:43,484 --> 01:04:46,286
<i>that's rescinding</i>
<i>his demon form.</i>

988
01:04:47,555 --> 01:04:49,123
<i>Muzan Kibutsuji...</i>

989
01:04:49,156 --> 01:04:53,894
<i>I had sworn to destroy you</i>
<i>by any means necessary.</i>

990
01:04:54,729 --> 01:04:56,096
<i>Yet at this moment,</i>

991
01:04:56,130 --> 01:04:58,899
<i>I am powerless to do so.</i>

992
01:05:06,641 --> 01:05:07,941
Soon enough...

993
01:05:07,975 --> 01:05:10,010
I'll be absorbed as well.

994
01:05:10,812 --> 01:05:12,614
Please, someone...

995
01:05:12,647 --> 01:05:15,048
anyone, come quickly!

996
01:05:15,850 --> 01:05:17,519
I beg you!

997
01:05:26,994 --> 01:05:29,096
Yeah, I've got that one.

998
01:05:29,129 --> 01:05:31,064
- Speed is important,
but accuracy is more so.

999
01:05:31,098 --> 01:05:34,968
<i>According to Father,</i>
<i>if Muzan should die,</i>

1000
01:05:35,002 --> 01:05:37,104
<i>the other demons</i>
<i>will also perish.</i>

1001
01:05:37,137 --> 01:05:38,773
- Uh, that one is...
- Can you help me?

1002
01:05:38,807 --> 01:05:43,177
<i>- By that logic, it's clear</i>
<i>that Muzan is still alive.</i>

1003
01:05:43,977 --> 01:05:45,312
<i>At this very moment,</i>

1004
01:05:45,345 --> 01:05:48,449
<i>Ms. Tamayo must be</i>
<i>suppressing his powers.</i>

1005
01:05:49,483 --> 01:05:50,752
<i>If she weren't,</i>

1006
01:05:50,785 --> 01:05:54,188
<i>he would surely be aware</i>
<i>of Yushiro's watchful gaze.</i>

1007
01:05:55,222 --> 01:05:57,491
<i>Before Muzan's powers</i>
<i>are fully restored,</i>

1008
01:05:57,525 --> 01:06:01,228
<i>we must do whatever it takes</i>
<i>to see that he's defeated.</i>

1009
01:06:02,963 --> 01:06:04,331
<i>I have to wonder, though.</i>

1010
01:06:04,364 --> 01:06:08,235
<i>Inside of this</i>
<i>"Infinite Castle..."</i>

1011
01:06:08,268 --> 01:06:11,238
<i>will we really</i>
<i>be able to find him</i>

1012
01:06:11,271 --> 01:06:13,207
<i>and put an end to it all?</i>

1013
01:06:18,479 --> 01:06:20,949
- No need to be nervous.

1014
01:06:20,981 --> 01:06:23,417
You're doing a fine job,
my child.

1015
01:06:24,953 --> 01:06:28,989
Muzan will surely
reveal himself once more,

1016
01:06:29,022 --> 01:06:31,626
just as he did
when he found me.

1017
01:06:33,962 --> 01:06:36,230
When it comes to this man,

1018
01:06:36,263 --> 01:06:38,465
that's simply his nature.

1019
01:06:42,670 --> 01:06:44,906
- Excuse me. The one
on the top actually goes here.

1020
01:06:44,939 --> 01:06:46,406
<i>- I understand, Father...</i>

1021
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,308
<i>I will see to it</i>
<i>our plan succeeds.</i>

1022
01:06:48,342 --> 01:06:50,143
- Something like that?
- Move it back down.

1023
01:06:50,177 --> 01:06:52,179
<i>We must find him</i>

1024
01:06:52,212 --> 01:06:54,516
<i>before the Corps members'</i>
<i>strength is fully depleted</i>

1025
01:06:54,549 --> 01:06:57,451
<i>and settle this</i>
<i>once and for all!</i>

1026
01:07:07,929 --> 01:07:09,597
Protect them!

1027
01:07:09,631 --> 01:07:10,999
- Everybody, group up!

1028
01:07:11,031 --> 01:07:12,366
We have to form a wall,

1029
01:07:12,399 --> 01:07:14,401
get their attention
off the Hashira!

1030
01:07:14,434 --> 01:07:16,938
- Please, sir,
go on ahead without us!

1031
01:07:16,971 --> 01:07:19,574
- You as well! We got this!

1032
01:07:19,607 --> 01:07:20,775
- Are you certain?

1033
01:07:29,216 --> 01:07:31,986
- We are!
Just defeat Kibutsuji!

1034
01:07:32,020 --> 01:07:33,186
- Please, sir!

1035
01:07:33,220 --> 01:07:35,255
- Very well, then.

1036
01:07:35,289 --> 01:07:38,425
I will put my faith
in your efforts here.

1037
01:07:38,458 --> 01:07:39,827
Tokito!

1038
01:07:40,995 --> 01:07:42,229
All right!

1039
01:07:42,262 --> 01:07:45,465
Let's show them the fruits
of our Hashira training!

1040
01:07:45,499 --> 01:07:46,701
- Right!
- Right!

1041
01:07:54,008 --> 01:07:56,678
<i>Everyone, thank you.</i>

1042
01:07:56,711 --> 01:07:58,111
<i>I know Father would be proud</i>

1043
01:07:58,145 --> 01:08:00,113
<i>to see you</i>
<i>giving it your all.</i>

1044
01:08:11,091 --> 01:08:12,392
Stop that.

1045
01:08:12,426 --> 01:08:15,697
- You must keep
your hands moving.

1046
01:08:15,730 --> 01:08:17,865
Right now, we need to focus.

1047
01:08:19,767 --> 01:08:20,868
- Yes.

1048
01:08:24,005 --> 01:08:27,575
- Master Kiriya,
he's quite impressive.

1049
01:08:27,609 --> 01:08:30,044
It's clear
he's still in mourning

1050
01:08:30,078 --> 01:08:31,946
over the loss of the Master,

1051
01:08:31,980 --> 01:08:34,816
yet his duty is unwavering.

1052
01:08:34,849 --> 01:08:38,586
He's led the Demon Slayer
Corps rather splendidly.

1053
01:08:39,954 --> 01:08:42,657
Wouldn't you agree,
Mr. Rengoku?

1054
01:08:43,691 --> 01:08:45,292
- I would, indeed.

1055
01:08:46,594 --> 01:08:49,363
These children are
still young in years,

1056
01:08:49,396 --> 01:08:52,567
but their resolve
is anything but childish.

1057
01:08:53,835 --> 01:08:56,203
I swear to protect them,

1058
01:08:56,236 --> 01:08:59,272
just as Kyojuro did before me.

1059
01:08:59,306 --> 01:09:01,909
I will risk my own life
to do so.

1060
01:09:14,889 --> 01:09:18,559
<i>- I didn't think</i>
<i>she would suffer this much.</i>

1061
01:09:18,593 --> 01:09:22,864
<i>The Master was working</i>
<i>with a demon named Tamayo,</i>

1062
01:09:22,897 --> 01:09:25,232
<i>who delivered this antidote.</i>

1063
01:09:25,265 --> 01:09:28,301
<i>I've administered it</i>
<i>as she instructed.</i>

1064
01:09:29,671 --> 01:09:30,972
<i>Even so...</i>

1065
01:09:31,005 --> 01:09:35,710
<i>will Nezuko be able to turn</i>
<i>back into a human, I wonder.</i>

1066
01:09:35,743 --> 01:09:39,179
<i>If Nezuko does</i>
<i>become human again,</i>

1067
01:09:39,212 --> 01:09:42,382
<i>Muzan's grand scheme</i>
<i>will collapse.</i>

1068
01:09:42,416 --> 01:09:44,552
<i>His thousand-year quest</i>
<i>for a vessel</i>

1069
01:09:44,585 --> 01:09:48,623
<i>which can resist the sun</i>
<i>will be no more,</i>

1070
01:09:48,656 --> 01:09:51,358
<i>and all of the progress</i>
<i>he's made</i>

1071
01:09:51,391 --> 01:09:54,294
<i>will be wound back</i>
<i>like a clock.</i>

1072
01:09:55,630 --> 01:09:59,801
<i>In the many years that we've</i>
<i>had to endure this nightmare,</i>

1073
01:09:59,834 --> 01:10:01,669
<i>Nezuko is the only demon</i>

1074
01:10:01,703 --> 01:10:04,872
<i>who has been able to live</i>
<i>in the sunlight.</i>

1075
01:10:20,487 --> 01:10:22,523
<i>"The final battle..."</i>

1076
01:10:22,557 --> 01:10:25,727
<i>these words echo in my mind.</i>

1077
01:10:29,197 --> 01:10:31,065
<i>And each time they do,</i>

1078
01:10:31,099 --> 01:10:34,468
<i>I can't help but tremble</i>
<i>as my heart beats louder.</i>

1079
01:10:35,703 --> 01:10:40,641
<i>This battle may finally reach</i>
<i>its conclusion tonight.</i>

1080
01:10:40,675 --> 01:10:45,646
<i>I never dreamed that I'd be</i>
<i>alive to witness it myself.</i>

1081
01:10:46,681 --> 01:10:50,518
<i>Tanjiro, I sometimes</i>
<i>think back to the day</i>

1082
01:10:50,551 --> 01:10:53,921
<i>when you brought</i>
<i>your demon sister to me.</i>

1083
01:10:53,955 --> 01:10:58,291
<i>Ever since then, it feels</i>
<i>like a giant wheel of fate</i>

1084
01:10:58,325 --> 01:11:00,895
<i>has been slowly turning.</i>

1085
01:11:00,928 --> 01:11:02,797
<i>Perhaps it would be best</i>

1086
01:11:02,830 --> 01:11:05,233
<i>to compare</i>
<i>the sum of our battles</i>

1087
01:11:05,265 --> 01:11:08,335
<i>to a giant, dormant machine.</i>

1088
01:11:08,368 --> 01:11:10,738
<i>You and Nezuko</i>
<i>are the small cogs</i>

1089
01:11:10,772 --> 01:11:15,109
<i>that have joined together and</i>
<i>awoken it from its slumber.</i>

1090
01:11:15,143 --> 01:11:17,444
<i>What was once</i>
<i>frozen in place...</i>

1091
01:11:17,477 --> 01:11:19,914
<i>has now been set into motion.</i>

1092
01:11:22,550 --> 01:11:25,887
Don't give up, Nezuko.

1093
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,991
<i>Keep up the fight, Tanjiro!</i>

1094
01:11:31,025 --> 01:11:32,459
<i>You both</i>
<i>have to pull through,</i>

1095
01:11:32,492 --> 01:11:34,128
<i>no matter what!</i>

1096
01:11:34,162 --> 01:11:35,997
<i>- Hinokami Kagura...</i>

1097
01:11:36,030 --> 01:11:37,765
<i>Fire Wheel!</i>

1098
01:11:40,300 --> 01:11:41,569
<i>Go through!</i>

1099
01:11:41,602 --> 01:11:43,137
<i>If I can't even</i>
<i>sever his arm,</i>

1100
01:11:43,171 --> 01:11:44,806
<i>I'll never sever his head!</i>

1101
01:11:51,679 --> 01:11:52,580
<i>I got one!</i>

1102
01:11:52,613 --> 01:11:55,216
<i>I was able to dodge</i>
<i>his attack, too.</i>

1103
01:11:55,249 --> 01:11:56,951
<i>I can do this!</i>

1104
01:11:56,984 --> 01:11:58,853
<i>I couldn't aim for his head,</i>

1106

<i>Hinokami Kagura...</i>

1107
01:12:03,090 --> 01:12:04,091
<i>Fake Rainbow!</i>

1108
01:12:16,737 --> 01:12:18,573

1111
01:12:24,344 --> 01:12:26,614
<i>It wouldn't be</i>
<i>an exaggeration</i>

1112
01:12:26,647 --> 01:12:29,817
<i>to say he's at the level</i>
<i>of a Hashira now.</i>

1113
01:12:29,851 --> 01:12:34,822
<i>To think that he'd do this</i>
<i>well against Upper Three.</i>

1114
01:12:40,027 --> 01:12:42,096
<i>That day...</i>

1115
01:12:42,129 --> 01:12:45,365
<i>I remember a boy who felt</i>
<i>completely helpless</i>

1116
01:12:45,398 --> 01:12:48,336
<i>as he collapsed</i>
<i>onto the cold snow,</i>

1117
01:12:48,368 --> 01:12:50,872
<i>begging through tears</i>
<i>for his sister's life.</i>

1118
01:12:58,512 --> 01:13:01,115
<i>But you are helpless</i>
<i>no longer.</i>

1119
01:13:01,148 --> 01:13:04,585
<i>You have the strength to</i>
<i>fight not only for your life</i>

1120
01:13:04,619 --> 01:13:07,622
<i>but also</i>
<i>for what's precious to you.</i>

1121
01:13:08,923 --> 01:13:11,259
- "This boy is not weak.

1122
01:13:11,292 --> 01:13:13,460
Don't insult him."

1123
01:13:13,493 --> 01:13:17,698
I must admit that Kyojuro
was right when he said that.

1124
01:13:17,732 --> 01:13:20,935
You are certainly not weak.

1125
01:13:20,968 --> 01:13:23,604
In fact, I commend you.

1127
01:13:32,780 --> 01:13:36,017
Now let's kick things off,
shall we?

1128
01:13:37,018 --> 01:13:38,986
It's time we had some fun.

Perhaps the last
Water Hashira I killed

01:15:45,212 --> 01:15:48,082
<i>- I blocked it with my sword!</i>

<i>this kind of damage?</i>

1155
01:16:01,262 --> 01:16:02,830
How marvelous!

1156
01:16:04,432 --> 01:16:06,634
That elegant sword skill
you're using,

1157
01:16:06,667 --> 01:16:07,968
it's magnificent!

1158
01:16:08,002 --> 01:16:09,470
I must know now.

1159
01:16:09,503 --> 01:16:10,771
What is your name?

I want to remember you!

1161
01:16:14,909 --> 01:16:17,678
- I don't have a name
to give to a demon like you!

1162
01:16:17,711 --> 01:16:20,881
I hate talking,
so don't speak to me!

1163
01:16:21,682 --> 01:16:22,917
- Is that so?

1164
01:16:22,950 --> 01:16:25,719
You're not much
for small talk, are you?

1165
01:16:25,753 --> 01:16:28,189
Well, I happen
to quite enjoy it!

1166
01:16:28,222 --> 01:16:30,257
So I'll ask you again...

1167
01:16:30,291 --> 01:16:32,193
What is your name?

1168
01:16:38,432 --> 01:16:41,669
Destructive Death: Leg Type...

1169
01:16:41,702 --> 01:16:43,904
Explosive Fury!

1170
01:16:56,417 --> 01:16:58,119
- Mr. Giyu!

1171
01:16:59,954 --> 01:17:01,088
- I see.

1172
01:17:01,122 --> 01:17:02,223
That's his name.

1173
01:17:02,256 --> 01:17:04,158
Thank you for letting me know.

1174
01:17:07,628 --> 01:17:09,163
- Hinokami Kagura...

1175
01:17:09,196 --> 01:17:12,333
- Destructive Death:
Eight-layered Demon Core!

1176
01:17:12,366 --> 01:17:14,702
- ...Burning Bones,
Summer Sun!

1177
01:17:29,650 --> 01:17:31,285
- Excellent form.

1178
01:17:31,318 --> 01:17:35,322
To improve this much in such
a short time is impressive.

1179
01:17:35,356 --> 01:17:37,592
I'll give you my praise.

1180
01:17:37,626 --> 01:17:39,226
It seems obvious to me

1181
01:17:39,260 --> 01:17:42,196
that Kyojuro must have
really inspired you.

1182
01:17:42,229 --> 01:17:46,467
The night we met, you were
merely a weak, mournful child

1183
01:17:46,500 --> 01:17:48,369
crumpled on the ground,

1184
01:17:48,402 --> 01:17:50,804
not even worthy
of being killed.

1185
01:17:50,838 --> 01:17:52,873
But just look at you now!

1186
01:17:52,907 --> 01:17:54,909
This leap
in your abilities...

1187
01:17:54,942 --> 01:17:57,278
it's like you've been reborn!

1188
01:17:57,311 --> 01:17:59,313
My heart won't stop racing.

1189
01:17:59,346 --> 01:18:01,715
I'm truly overjoyed!

1190
01:18:04,185 --> 01:18:08,590
The night Kyojuro died,
I was glad that it happened.

1191
01:18:08,623 --> 01:18:10,090
- Huh?

1192
01:18:10,124 --> 01:18:12,026
- How tragic
would it have been

1193
01:18:12,059 --> 01:18:14,962
if he had never
gotten any stronger?

1194
01:18:14,995 --> 01:18:17,198
Such a stubborn man,
not letting go

1195
01:18:17,231 --> 01:18:20,401
of those worthless values
of staying human.

1196
01:18:21,670 --> 01:18:24,205
- How dare you.

1197
01:18:30,645 --> 01:18:31,613
Shut up.

1198
01:18:31,646 --> 01:18:33,447
Just shut up!

1199
01:18:37,552 --> 01:18:40,821
Don't you dare
even speak his name!

1200
01:18:40,854 --> 01:18:42,823
- What's the matter?

1201
01:18:42,856 --> 01:18:45,426
I'm only paying the man
a compliment.

1202
01:18:45,459 --> 01:18:46,994
I'm being sincere.

1203
01:18:47,027 --> 01:18:49,063
These are
high words of praise.

1204
01:18:49,096 --> 01:18:50,130
- You're wrong.

1205
01:18:50,164 --> 01:18:52,701
All you're doing
is insulting him.

1206
01:18:52,733 --> 01:18:56,837
You're just spitting
on his memory, on all of us!

1207
01:18:57,771 --> 01:19:00,542
- You couldn't
be more wrong, Tanjiro.

1208
01:19:00,575 --> 01:19:01,809
As you'll recall,

1209
01:19:01,842 --> 01:19:05,779
the only thing I despise
is weak human beings.

1210
01:19:05,813 --> 01:19:08,482
Only a feeble weakling
is deserving of my scorn

1211
01:19:08,516 --> 01:19:10,451
and no one else.

1212
01:19:10,484 --> 01:19:12,654
That's right.

1213
01:19:12,687 --> 01:19:15,856
The mere sight of them
makes my skin crawl.

1214
01:19:15,889 --> 01:19:18,058
They make me retch!

1215
01:19:18,092 --> 01:19:19,960
Through the laws of nature,

1216
01:19:19,994 --> 01:19:21,663
they are weeded out
from this world,

1217
01:19:21,696 --> 01:19:24,231
just as they should be!

1218
01:19:24,265 --> 01:19:28,302
- Everything you just said
is wrong!

1219
01:19:28,335 --> 01:19:30,170
- Huh?

1220
01:19:30,204 --> 01:19:32,906
- The fact you're
even alive right now,

1221
01:19:32,940 --> 01:19:35,276
isn't that proof enough?

1222
01:19:35,309 --> 01:19:39,079
As an infant,
we're all helpless.

1223
01:19:39,113 --> 01:19:42,049
We can't live
without someone else's help.

1224
01:19:42,082 --> 01:19:44,785
You're no different, Akaza.

1225
01:19:44,818 --> 01:19:47,121
Even if you don't remember,

1226
01:19:47,154 --> 01:19:49,056
there was a time
when you were protected

1227
01:19:49,089 --> 01:19:51,992
and cared for by someone.
I know it!

1228
01:19:52,026 --> 01:19:54,895
That's why you're alive.

1229
01:19:58,899 --> 01:20:02,303
The strong should aid
and protect the weak.

1230
01:20:02,336 --> 01:20:04,338
And in turn,
the weak become strong

1231
01:20:04,371 --> 01:20:07,709
and aid and protect those
weaker than themselves.

1232
01:20:07,742 --> 01:20:10,911
That is the law of nature!

1233
01:20:10,944 --> 01:20:15,015
Akaza, I can't tolerate
your way of thinking.

1234
01:20:15,049 --> 01:20:19,286
Here on out, I won't
let you do as you please!

1235
01:20:24,325 --> 01:20:26,160
<i>I get it now.</i>

1236
01:20:28,495 --> 01:20:30,331
<i>I have a disgust for this boy</i>

1237
01:20:30,364 --> 01:20:32,900
<i>that's almost</i>
<i>primal in nature.</i>

1238
01:20:33,702 --> 01:20:35,402
<i>Even if he's stronger,</i>

1239
01:20:35,436 --> 01:20:37,338
<i>that feeling hasn't faded.</i>

1240
01:20:42,042 --> 01:20:44,211
- No matter who they are,

1241
01:20:44,244 --> 01:20:47,348
everyone begins life
as a newborn.

1242
01:20:47,381 --> 01:20:51,586
We learn by getting help
from those around us.

1243
01:20:51,619 --> 01:20:54,188
We are not competing
with others.

1244
01:20:54,221 --> 01:20:58,526
The only opponent
you have in life is yourself.

1245
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:00,662
Just focus
on becoming stronger

1246
01:21:00,695 --> 01:21:03,097
than you were yesterday.

1247
01:21:03,130 --> 01:21:07,535
If you can stay this path
for a decade or even two,

1248
01:21:07,569 --> 01:21:09,503
that would be commendable.

1249
01:21:09,537 --> 01:21:11,004
And before you know it,

1250
01:21:11,038 --> 01:21:13,641
you will be
helping others in turn.

1251
01:21:21,549 --> 01:21:22,883
<i>What was that?</i>

1252
01:21:22,916 --> 01:21:25,018
<i>He just swung his fist</i>
<i>at nothing.</i>

1253
01:21:30,958 --> 01:21:32,560
- Tanjiro...

1254
01:21:33,762 --> 01:21:36,397
you still repulse me
to my core.

1255

<i>Destructive Death:</i>
<i>Crushing Type.</i>

1258
01:21:47,609 --> 01:21:50,110
<i>No, it's not just his speed.</i>

1259
01:21:50,144 --> 01:21:53,548
<i>It's his precision,</i>
<i>his aura, and also...</i>

01:22:03,957 --> 01:22:06,193
- Flying Planet
Thousand Wheels!

1263
01:22:12,065 --> 01:22:14,435
<i>Even if I could</i>
<i>anticipate his strikes,</i>

1264
01:22:14,468 --> 01:22:17,739
<i>they're so powerful, I can't</i>
<i>completely deflect them.</i>

1265
01:22:17,772 --> 01:22:19,507
<i>His techniques</i>
<i>are so precise,</i>

1266
01:22:19,541 --> 01:22:22,677
<i>they can pierce through any</i>
<i>opening, no matter how small.</i>

1267
01:22:25,412 --> 01:22:28,282
<i>- It's like a magnet</i>
<i>is attracting his attacks</i>

1268
01:22:28,315 --> 01:22:30,618
<i>straight toward</i>
<i>my weak points!</i>

1269
01:22:30,652 --> 01:22:33,521
<i>But how? What's happening?</i>

1270
01:22:33,555 --> 01:22:36,524
<i>What could be causing</i>
<i>this behavior?</i>

1271
01:22:36,558 --> 01:22:38,526
<i>Come on, think.</i>

1272
01:22:39,894 --> 01:22:41,428
<i>What's the answer?</i>

1273
01:22:41,462 --> 01:22:44,965
<i>There must be a clue</i>
<i>in what Akaza's said or done.</i>

1274
01:22:47,836 --> 01:22:52,239
<i>- Hinokami Kagura:</i>
<i>Solar Heat Haze!</i>

1275
01:23:01,415 --> 01:23:03,751
What an interesting move.

1276
01:23:03,785 --> 01:23:07,755
I dodged it at first, but then
the blade seemed to extend.

1277
01:23:07,789 --> 01:23:10,658
I don't know what kind
of swing you put behind it,

1278
01:23:10,692 --> 01:23:11,793
but the tip of your blade

1279
01:23:11,826 --> 01:23:13,928
wavered like it
was in a heat haze.

1280
01:23:13,962 --> 01:23:15,295
How fascinating!

1281
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:28,408
<i>- Hinokami Kagura...</i>

1282
01:23:28,442 --> 01:23:29,476
<i>Dance!</i>

1283
01:23:31,913 --> 01:23:33,113
<i>- My sword...</i>

1284
01:23:34,014 --> 01:23:35,517
<i>he'll break it!</i>

1285
01:23:40,053 --> 01:23:42,222
- That was a strong headbutt!

1286
01:23:43,825 --> 01:23:46,059
- Damn you! Let go of me!

1287
01:23:46,895 --> 01:23:48,462
<i>No good.</i>

1288
01:23:48,495 --> 01:23:51,164
<i>I can't get him</i>
<i>to loosen his grip!</i>

1289
01:24:03,076 --> 01:24:04,846
- Mr. Giyu!

1290
01:24:08,181 --> 01:24:11,051
You're starting
to get on my nerves.

1291
01:24:11,084 --> 01:24:14,254
Thanks to you,
my back is killing me now.

1292
01:24:14,288 --> 01:24:17,625
I'm not fond of being
hurled like a ragdoll.

1293
01:24:17,659 --> 01:24:19,459
I'm gonna make you pay.

1294
01:24:22,195 --> 01:24:23,463
<i>Personally...</i>

1295
01:24:23,497 --> 01:24:26,901
<i>I'd rather not draw</i>
<i>my sword if I can help it,</i>

1296
01:24:26,935 --> 01:24:28,168
<i>and I have a hard time</i>

1297
01:24:28,201 --> 01:24:31,673
<i>justifying using deadly force</i>
<i>if unnecessary.</i>

1298
01:24:31,706 --> 01:24:35,577
<i>But at this moment,</i>
<i>I'm against an opponent</i>

1299
01:24:35,610 --> 01:24:37,879
<i>that demands</i>
<i>everything from me.</i>

1300
01:24:37,912 --> 01:24:39,313
<i>In the short time</i>
<i>we've fought,</i>

1301
01:24:39,346 --> 01:24:42,282
<i>my senses have been</i>
<i>pushed past their limits.</i>

1302
01:24:42,316 --> 01:24:45,753
<i>My dormant senses</i>
<i>have been rudely awakened,</i>

1303
01:24:45,787 --> 01:24:49,857
<i>and are dragging me forward</i>
<i>towards the enemy.</i>

1304
01:24:49,891 --> 01:24:53,595
<i>I now know how much it</i>
<i>expands one's potential</i>

1305
01:24:53,628 --> 01:24:55,495
<i>to have one's back</i>
<i>against the wall</i>

1306
01:24:55,530 --> 01:24:59,399
<i>with their sword raised</i>
<i>in the face of death.</i>

1307
01:25:02,737 --> 01:25:03,838
Mr. Giyu.

1308
01:25:20,688 --> 01:25:23,758
<i>- A mark appeared, and</i>
<i>his movements have gotten...</i>

1309
01:25:23,791 --> 01:25:25,258
- Faster!

1310
01:25:29,597 --> 01:25:33,233
<i>- Water Breathing</i>
<i>Fourth Form: Striking Tide!</i>

1311
01:25:47,247 --> 01:25:49,216
<i>- They're both so fast!</i>

1312
01:25:49,249 --> 01:25:51,552
<i>Mr. Giyu's speed</i>
<i>increased with the mark,</i>

1313
01:25:51,586 --> 01:25:54,154
<i>but Akaza</i>
<i>adapted to it instantly!</i>

1314
01:25:56,524 --> 01:25:59,426
- Don't tell me
that's all you're capable of!

1315
01:26:08,268 --> 01:26:09,737
- Show me more!

1316
01:26:09,771 --> 01:26:11,939
Don't you dare hold back!

1317
01:26:40,902 --> 01:26:44,438
Tenth Form: Constant Flux.

1318
01:27:01,522 --> 01:27:05,059
- Seventh Form:
Drop Ripple Thrust!

1319
01:27:05,093 --> 01:27:07,461
- Destructive Death: Disorder.

1320
01:27:18,139 --> 01:27:21,008
- Mr. Giyu! Akaza.

1321
01:27:23,010 --> 01:27:25,278
<i>Calm down!</i>

1322
01:27:28,916 --> 01:27:30,785
<i>Think. Don't panic.</i>

1323
01:27:30,818 --> 01:27:33,955
<i>Whatever you do,</i>
<i>don't lose focus.</i>

1324
01:27:35,355 --> 01:27:37,058
<i>- Why is it</i>
<i>that Akaza's attacks</i>

1325
01:27:37,091 --> 01:27:38,726
<i>are always so accurate?</i>

1326
01:27:39,861 --> 01:27:41,294
<i>How is he able to respond</i>

1327
01:27:41,328 --> 01:27:43,263
<i>to attacks</i>
<i>from his blind spots?</i>

1328
01:27:44,699 --> 01:27:45,700
<i>Think!</i>

1329
01:27:50,238 --> 01:27:52,272
<i>- Your fighting spirit</i>
<i>has been tempered</i>

1330
01:27:52,305 --> 01:27:54,108
<i>like quality steel.</i>

1331
01:27:54,142 --> 01:27:55,408
<i>Your name?</i>

1332
01:27:58,179 --> 01:28:00,413
<i>Back when he</i>
<i>fought Mr. Rengoku,</i>

1333
01:28:00,447 --> 01:28:05,119
<i>I remember Akaza using</i>
<i>the words "fighting spirit."</i>

1334
01:28:05,153 --> 01:28:07,454
<i>What did he mean by that?</i>

1335
01:28:07,487 --> 01:28:10,390
<i>Is he able to sense things</i>
<i>through fighting spirit?</i>

1336
01:28:10,423 --> 01:28:13,828
<i>The same way I can</i>
<i>sense things through scent?</i>

1337
01:28:28,075 --> 01:28:29,510
- Wherever the enemy's
aiming at,

1338
01:28:29,544 --> 01:28:32,312
I get this weird
tingling feeling.

1339
01:28:32,345 --> 01:28:33,514
- So that's how you knew

1340
01:28:33,548 --> 01:28:35,650
Gyutaro was attacking you
from behind.

1341
01:28:35,683 --> 01:28:38,152
You sure are incredible,
Inosuke.

1342
01:28:39,687 --> 01:28:43,124
Well, my skin is tougher
than most people's.

1343
01:28:43,157 --> 01:28:44,959
And whether it's
from behind or not,

1344
01:28:44,992 --> 01:28:46,127
if someone's looking at me,

1345
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:48,062
I know just
where they're looking.

1346
01:28:48,095 --> 01:28:49,297
- Could you show me?

1347
01:28:51,032 --> 01:28:52,033
Sure thing!

1348
01:28:56,938 --> 01:28:57,905
- It's my right shoulder.

1349
01:28:57,939 --> 01:29:00,141
- You really got it!
That's amazing!

1350
01:29:00,174 --> 01:29:03,311
- It's even easier to know
if someone's looking at me

1351
01:29:03,343 --> 01:29:04,879
if they have killing intent.

1352
01:29:04,912 --> 01:29:08,381
Since anyone
who could harm me is bad news,

1353
01:29:08,415 --> 01:29:10,318
killing intent
kinda feels like

1354
01:29:10,350 --> 01:29:12,553
it's stabbing me
through the skin, you know.

1355
01:29:12,587 --> 01:29:14,555
<i>That's right.</i>

1356
01:29:14,589 --> 01:29:17,457
<i>Inosuke was able</i>
<i>to sense the invisible</i>

1357
01:29:17,490 --> 01:29:20,261
<i>using only</i>
<i>his honed sense of touch.</i>

1358
01:29:20,294 --> 01:29:22,230
<i>Think back.</i>

1359
01:29:22,263 --> 01:29:24,265
<i>What else did we</i>
<i>talk about...</i>

1360
01:29:24,298 --> 01:29:26,234
<i>that day?</i>

1361
01:29:26,267 --> 01:29:27,935
- Where things get real tricky

1362
01:29:27,969 --> 01:29:30,338
is when someone who
doesn't have killing intent

1363
01:29:30,370 --> 01:29:32,640
or hostility
is looking at me.

1364
01:29:32,673 --> 01:29:34,842
- Like that tiny hag!
- Huh?

1365
01:29:34,876 --> 01:29:36,409
- That old hag

1366
01:29:36,443 --> 01:29:39,947
from the house with
the wisteria mark was sneaky.

1367
01:29:39,981 --> 01:29:41,616
Before I knew it...

1368
01:29:41,649 --> 01:29:42,650
Huh?

1369
01:29:43,584 --> 01:29:45,720
...she'd be sitting
right behind me,

1370
01:29:45,753 --> 01:29:47,221
- holding rice balls!
- Whoa!

1371
01:29:48,256 --> 01:29:50,258
- Calling her a hag
isn't nice.

1372
01:29:50,291 --> 01:29:51,259
She's elderly!

1373
01:29:51,292 --> 01:29:52,260
- Elderly hag!

1374
01:29:52,293 --> 01:29:53,426
- Stop that!

1375
01:29:53,460 --> 01:29:55,263
- Well, that got me thinking.

1376
01:29:55,296 --> 01:29:58,866
If I could hide my killing
intent, then I'd be a ninja!

1377
01:29:58,900 --> 01:30:01,636
I'd be able
to sneak up on anybody!

1378
01:30:02,402 --> 01:30:03,537
- Sure.

1379
01:30:03,571 --> 01:30:06,107
But, Inosuke,
she was only sneaky

1380
01:30:06,140 --> 01:30:09,076
'cause she didn't have
the intent of harming you.

1381
01:30:09,110 --> 01:30:10,443
And I think beheading a demon

1382
01:30:10,477 --> 01:30:13,714
without killing intent
would be impossible.

1383
01:30:13,748 --> 01:30:15,116
- Hmm.

1384
01:30:15,149 --> 01:30:17,718
Yeah, you're probably right.

1385
01:30:17,752 --> 01:30:20,621
A halfhearted strike
without any killing intent

1386
01:30:20,655 --> 01:30:24,125
would never be strong enough
to cut through a demon's neck.

1387
01:30:25,192 --> 01:30:27,395
<i>- It was</i>
<i>a casual conversation,</i>

1388
01:30:27,427 --> 01:30:30,631
<i>but I think Inosuke</i>
<i>was onto something.</i>

1389
01:30:31,899 --> 01:30:35,336
<i>- What is it that Akaza</i>
<i>supposedly senses?</i>

1390
01:30:35,369 --> 01:30:37,939
<i>What does he mean</i>
<i>by "fighting spirit"?</i>

1391
01:30:37,972 --> 01:30:39,307
<i>Is it killing intent?</i>

1392
01:30:39,340 --> 01:30:40,775
<i>Is it the will to fight,</i>

1393
01:30:40,808 --> 01:30:44,545
<i>the time spent training,</i>
<i>or maybe the amount?</i>

1394
01:30:44,578 --> 01:30:45,947
<i>Is it like the way</i>

1395
01:30:45,980 --> 01:30:48,516
<i>I can anticipate</i>
<i>movements through scent?</i>

1396
01:30:49,550 --> 01:30:51,686
<i>There must be</i>
<i>something I can do...</i>

1397
01:30:51,719 --> 01:30:54,088
<i>to disrupt his compass!</i>

1398
01:31:04,198 --> 01:31:06,600
Hinokami Kagura: Dance!

1399
01:31:08,536 --> 01:31:11,539
- Just one problem
with your attack.

1400
01:31:11,572 --> 01:31:13,708
You're wide open!

1401
01:31:16,077 --> 01:31:17,178
<i>- His fist!</i>

1402
01:31:30,558 --> 01:31:34,362
<i>Fighting spirit,</i>
<i>instincts, compass,</i>

1403
01:31:34,395 --> 01:31:36,130
<i>perception...</i>

1404
01:31:36,163 --> 01:31:37,932
<i>striking with killing intent,</i>

1405
01:31:37,965 --> 01:31:41,969
<i>sensing the invisible,</i>
<i>executing the impossible.</i>

1406
01:31:42,003 --> 01:31:43,771
<i>I see.</i>

1407
01:31:45,573 --> 01:31:47,108
<i>So that's it.</i>

1408
01:31:59,220 --> 01:32:01,055
- Hey!

1409
01:32:02,957 --> 01:32:04,325
- Again! Again!

1410
01:32:04,358 --> 01:32:06,460
- Um, Father,
what do you think about

1411
01:32:06,494 --> 01:32:09,563
when you dance
the Hinokami Kagura?

1412
01:32:09,597 --> 01:32:11,432
If it's too tiring for you,

1413
01:32:11,465 --> 01:32:13,567
I can take your place
next year.

1414
01:32:13,601 --> 01:32:17,338
I don't want you
to overwork yourself.

1415
01:32:17,371 --> 01:32:20,107
- Thank you, Tanjiro.

1416
01:32:20,141 --> 01:32:22,777
But to be honest,
I haven't found the Kagura

1417
01:32:22,810 --> 01:32:26,347
to be the least bit tiring
over the last few years.

1418
01:32:26,380 --> 01:32:28,816
I can't quite explain it,

1419
01:32:28,849 --> 01:32:29,950
but back when I learned it

1420
01:32:29,984 --> 01:32:32,353
from your grandfather
years ago,

1421
01:32:32,386 --> 01:32:33,954
even though I was younger,

1422
01:32:33,988 --> 01:32:36,157
healthier,
and stronger than now,

1423
01:32:36,190 --> 01:32:39,460
I found it to be
far more tiring back then.

1424
01:32:43,064 --> 01:32:45,800
<i>For generations,</i>
<i>the Kagura was performed</i>

1425
01:32:45,833 --> 01:32:48,836
<i>by the Kamado family</i>
<i>at the start of each year.</i>

1426
01:32:48,869 --> 01:32:51,005
<i>It was an exhausting</i>
<i>performance</i>

1427
01:32:51,038 --> 01:32:53,974
<i>that would last</i>
<i>from sunset 'til dawn.</i>

1428
01:32:55,342 --> 01:32:56,777
<i>There are 12 different forms</i>

1429
01:32:56,811 --> 01:32:59,548
<i>that must be repeated</i>
<i>over and over again</i>

1430
01:32:59,580 --> 01:33:02,383
<i>thousands of times</i>
<i>before daybreak.</i>

1431
01:33:05,386 --> 01:33:06,687
- I think my exhaustion

1432
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,590
was the result
of unnecessary movement.

1433
01:33:09,623 --> 01:33:12,493
Using the correct movements
and breathing patterns

1434
01:33:12,527 --> 01:33:14,061
are vital to the dance.

1435
01:33:14,095 --> 01:33:17,698
It's what allows you
to produce maximum strength

1436
01:33:17,731 --> 01:33:19,667
while using minimal actions.

1437
01:33:19,700 --> 01:33:22,636
Once you've mastered
your breathing and movement,

1438
01:33:22,670 --> 01:33:26,173
your mind
will become transparent.

1439
01:33:26,207 --> 01:33:28,776
- Transparent?

1440
01:33:28,809 --> 01:33:30,678
- But before any of that,

1441
01:33:30,711 --> 01:33:32,813
you must memorize
the moves of the dance

1442
01:33:32,847 --> 01:33:36,183
and slowly ingrain them
into your muscle memory.

1443
01:33:36,217 --> 01:33:39,753
In doing so, you'll open up
your five senses

1444
01:33:39,787 --> 01:33:42,356
and become aware of the shape
of your own body,

1445
01:33:42,389 --> 01:33:44,191
vessel by vessel.

1446
01:33:45,793 --> 01:33:48,929
That was
the truly strenuous part.

1447
01:33:48,963 --> 01:33:50,231
All you can think is that,

1448
01:33:50,264 --> 01:33:53,968
even if you go on struggling,
you'll never succeed.

1449
01:33:54,001 --> 01:33:56,403
After you've learned
all these things

1450
01:33:56,437 --> 01:33:57,838
and committed them to memory,

1451
01:33:57,872 --> 01:34:01,108
you'll understand how to
remove what you don't need,

1452
01:34:01,142 --> 01:34:05,279
only leaving behind in your
body what is required of you,

1453
01:34:05,312 --> 01:34:07,681
closing off the rest.

1454
01:34:07,715 --> 01:34:09,850
- Closing?

1455
01:34:09,884 --> 01:34:12,019
- You know how people
often close their eyes

1456
01:34:12,052 --> 01:34:14,688
when they're trying
to hear better?

1457
01:34:14,722 --> 01:34:16,323
In that same way,

1458
01:34:16,357 --> 01:34:19,426
you'll pick out the things you
need the most in the movement

1459
01:34:19,460 --> 01:34:21,929
while eliminating the rest.

1460
01:34:21,962 --> 01:34:24,965
Eventually, you'll be
able to open and close

1461
01:34:24,999 --> 01:34:27,368
the vessels and
muscles in your body,

1462
01:34:27,401 --> 01:34:29,069
as if it were second nature,

1463
01:34:29,103 --> 01:34:33,107
the same way you blink
without a second thought.

1464
01:34:33,140 --> 01:34:34,708
When that happens,

1465
01:34:34,742 --> 01:34:39,514
a path illuminated
by a bright light will open.

1466
01:34:39,548 --> 01:34:42,249
If your mind is
as clear as possible,

1467
01:34:42,283 --> 01:34:45,920
you'll begin to see the
Transparent World before you.

1468
01:34:45,953 --> 01:34:48,122
But this domain
can only be reached

1469
01:34:48,155 --> 01:34:50,224
by pushing yourself
past your limits,

1470
01:34:50,257 --> 01:34:52,927
despite the suffering
that may be required.

1471
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:55,530
- Will I ever get to see it?

1472
01:34:55,564 --> 01:35:00,434
- If you work tirelessly,
then that's for you to decide.

1473
01:35:00,467 --> 01:35:01,468
There.

1474
01:35:01,502 --> 01:35:02,503
All done.

1475
01:35:02,537 --> 01:35:03,904
- Thank you.

1476
01:35:07,274 --> 01:35:10,277
<i>Ten days</i>
<i>before my father died,</i>

1477
01:35:10,311 --> 01:35:12,813
<i>an incident where a bear</i>
<i>began attacking people</i>

1478
01:35:12,846 --> 01:35:15,650
<i>happened</i>
<i>on a neighboring mountain.</i>

1479
01:35:15,684 --> 01:35:18,018
<i>We lit bonfires</i>
<i>around the house</i>

1480
01:35:18,052 --> 01:35:21,222
<i>and set up multiple ropes</i>
<i>lined with bells.</i>

1481
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:34,001
- Hmm?

1482
01:35:40,007 --> 01:35:41,509
Tanjiro?

1483
01:35:45,614 --> 01:35:48,349
Yes, Father?

1484
01:35:48,382 --> 01:35:50,585
- Come with me.

1485
01:36:38,132 --> 01:36:41,001
- I understand
you must be very hungry,

1486
01:36:41,035 --> 01:36:46,273
but I'm afraid I can't
allow you to come any closer.

1487
01:36:46,307 --> 01:36:49,310
If anyone were to try
and cause harm to my family,

1488
01:36:49,343 --> 01:36:52,514
I would be forced
to show you no mercy.

1489
01:36:52,547 --> 01:36:55,015
If you disregard
this warning...

1490
01:36:57,251 --> 01:37:00,921
I'll have no choice
but to take your life.

1491
01:37:12,066 --> 01:37:15,903
<i>- The bear's head, that was</i>
<i>as thick as a human torso,</i>

1492
01:37:15,936 --> 01:37:19,440
<i>dropped to the ground</i>
<i>with the sound of the bells.</i>

1493
01:37:20,841 --> 01:37:23,043
<i>My eyes couldn't follow it,</i>

1494
01:37:23,077 --> 01:37:24,912
<i>but If I'm not mistaken,</i>

1495
01:37:24,945 --> 01:37:28,282
<i>my father slashed it twice</i>
<i>in the blink of an eye.</i>

1496
01:37:29,883 --> 01:37:31,251
<i>He must have.</i>

1497
01:37:31,285 --> 01:37:32,821
<i>His ax wouldn't</i>
<i>have been able</i>

1498
01:37:32,853 --> 01:37:35,255
<i>to cut through otherwise.</i>

1499
01:37:35,289 --> 01:37:39,460
<i>All the while, my father's</i>
<i>scent never wavered.</i>

1500
01:37:39,493 --> 01:37:42,129
<i>Before and after</i>
<i>beheading the bear,</i>

1501
01:37:42,162 --> 01:37:46,266
<i>he emitted no fear,</i>
<i>no killing intent.</i>

1502
01:37:52,306 --> 01:37:55,577
- I hope that you
were watching.

1503
01:37:55,610 --> 01:37:58,780
A day might come where you
have to do the same.

1504
01:38:01,281 --> 01:38:03,785
<i>- My father wasn't</i>
<i>the type of person</i>

1505
01:38:03,818 --> 01:38:06,053
<i>to flaunt his strength.</i>

1506
01:38:06,086 --> 01:38:08,255
<i>I realized later on,</i>

1507
01:38:08,288 --> 01:38:13,394
<i>that night, he wanted me</i>
<i>to see it in action,</i>

1508
01:38:13,427 --> 01:38:16,096
<i>the movements necessary</i>
<i>to be able to see</i>

1509
01:38:16,130 --> 01:38:19,032
<i>the Transparent World</i>
<i>he spoke of.</i>

1510
01:38:21,001 --> 01:38:23,470
<i>I'm sure my father,</i>
<i>grandfather,</i>

1511
01:38:23,504 --> 01:38:28,075
<i>and great-grandfather</i>
<i>all learned the same way.</i>

1512
01:38:29,744 --> 01:38:32,079
- Whatever you do,
never give up.

1513
01:38:32,112 --> 01:38:34,816
Always stay calm and focused.

1514
01:38:34,849 --> 01:38:38,218
Any wall you come up against
can be shattered

1515
01:38:38,252 --> 01:38:40,954
if you just work tirelessly.

1516
01:38:41,856 --> 01:38:44,158
- I understand, Father.

1517
01:38:44,191 --> 01:38:47,361
<i>In that moment,</i>
<i>that's why I was able</i>

1518
01:38:47,394 --> 01:38:51,064
<i>to dodge Akaza's</i>
<i>inescapable blow to my side.</i>

1519
01:38:53,635 --> 01:38:55,269
<i>If I hadn't moved in time,</i>

1520
01:38:55,302 --> 01:38:58,505
<i>I'm positive that strike</i>
<i>would have killed me.</i>

1521
01:38:58,540 --> 01:39:01,275
<i>When I was alternating moves</i>
<i>with Mr. Giyu,</i>

1522
01:39:01,308 --> 01:39:03,678
<i>weaving my attacks</i>
<i>in between each of his...</i>

1523
01:39:03,711 --> 01:39:07,782
<i>I was protected from being</i>
<i>hit by those lethal blows.</i>

1524
01:39:07,816 --> 01:39:09,450
<i>But in that instant,</i>

1525
01:39:09,483 --> 01:39:12,887
<i>even Mr. Giyu</i>
<i>couldn't make it in time.</i>

1526
01:39:12,921 --> 01:39:15,989
<i>However, for whatever reason,</i>

1527
01:39:16,023 --> 01:39:18,893
<i>I knew dodging</i> was <i>possible,</i>

1528
01:39:18,927 --> 01:39:21,696
<i>and for just a split-second,</i>

1529
01:39:21,729 --> 01:39:24,364
<i>I was able to see it...</i>

1530
01:39:24,398 --> 01:39:26,967
<i>that world...</i>

1531
01:39:30,705 --> 01:39:33,006
<i>- ...the Transparent World.</i>

1532
01:39:35,442 --> 01:39:39,747
<i>Even his body</i>
<i>started to look transparent.</i>

1533
01:39:39,781 --> 01:39:44,151
<i>The same as when Hantengu was</i>
<i>hiding inside his own heart.</i>

1534
01:39:44,184 --> 01:39:47,321
<i>I don't know if I saw him</i>
<i>or smelled him.</i>

1535
01:39:51,358 --> 01:39:53,026
<i>Dodge.</i>

1536
01:39:53,060 --> 01:39:56,531
<i>I used only the senses</i>
<i>that would let me do that.</i>

1537
01:39:56,564 --> 01:39:57,899
<i>Without thinking,</i>

1538
01:39:57,932 --> 01:40:01,536
<i>my body moved faster</i>
<i>than ever before.</i>

1539
01:40:01,569 --> 01:40:02,904
<i>When I'm inside</i>

1540
01:40:02,937 --> 01:40:05,540
<i>the Transparent World</i>
<i>my father spoke of,</i>

1541
01:40:05,573 --> 01:40:08,710
<i>my battle instincts</i>
<i>improve drastically.</i>

1542
01:40:10,778 --> 01:40:13,080
<i>I can see</i>
<i>my opponent's lungs</i>

1543
01:40:13,113 --> 01:40:15,917
<i>and the blood moving</i>
<i>throughout their body.</i>

1544
01:40:15,950 --> 01:40:18,385
<i>I can see</i>
<i>my own muscles contracting</i>

1545
01:40:18,418 --> 01:40:21,288
<i>Faster and</i>
<i>clearer than before.</i>

1546
01:40:24,926 --> 01:40:26,961
<i>If I close off</i>
<i>the fighting spirit</i>

1547
01:40:26,995 --> 01:40:29,329
<i>that Akaza must be</i>
<i>detecting me with,</i>

1548
01:40:29,363 --> 01:40:31,900
<i>I can go for his neck.</i>

1549
01:40:44,546 --> 01:40:47,615
<i>See it. See it.</i>

1550
01:40:50,350 --> 01:40:52,085
- It looks like you've thrown

1551
01:40:52,119 --> 01:40:54,388
about every last
Water Form at me.

1552
01:40:54,421 --> 01:40:58,191
Enough is enough,
wouldn't you say?

1553
01:40:58,225 --> 01:41:00,028
I'm putting an end to this,

1554
01:41:00,060 --> 01:41:03,196
but you have my respect
for lasting so long!

1555
01:41:03,998 --> 01:41:06,366
<i>- What?</i>

1556
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:08,836
<i>In the middle</i>
<i>of my downswing...</i>

1557
01:41:10,203 --> 01:41:12,439
<i>he hit it from the side...</i>

1558
01:41:13,340 --> 01:41:16,109
<i>and snapped my sword!</i>

1559
01:41:16,143 --> 01:41:17,612
- Goodbye, Giyu.

1560
01:41:47,675 --> 01:41:51,211
<i>- He stopped the attack</i>
<i>by cutting off his fist.</i>

1561
01:41:51,244 --> 01:41:53,180
<i>His breathing is different</i>

1562
01:41:53,213 --> 01:41:54,849
<i>and his appearance.</i>

1563
01:41:55,917 --> 01:41:58,485
<i>I've been saved by Tanjiro.</i>

1564
01:41:59,887 --> 01:42:01,789
<i>- All of the cells</i>
<i>in my body,</i>

1565
01:42:01,823 --> 01:42:03,390
<i>down to the ones in my hair,</i>

1566
01:42:03,423 --> 01:42:08,261
<i>are screaming at me to kill</i>
<i>him as soon as possible.</i>

1567
01:42:08,295 --> 01:42:11,633
<i>I don't know what kind of</i>
<i>change he underwent, but...</i>

1568
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:14,535
<i>he's dangerous.</i>

1569
01:42:16,004 --> 01:42:17,872
<i>- His focus is on Tanjiro.</i>

1570
01:42:19,206 --> 01:42:20,875
<i>Now's my chance.</i>

1571
01:42:25,278 --> 01:42:27,982
<i>Technique Development:</i>
<i>Final Form.</i>

1572
01:42:28,016 --> 01:42:31,184
<i>Blue Silver</i>
<i>Chaotic Afterglow!</i>

1573
01:42:34,154 --> 01:42:36,490
<i>- His attack speed</i>
<i>boosted again!</i>

1574
01:42:36,524 --> 01:42:38,926
<i>And the force has increased!</i>

1575
01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:40,695
<i>My only chance now...</i>

1576
01:42:40,728 --> 01:42:42,864
<i>is with Dead Calm.</i>

1577
01:43:04,384 --> 01:43:07,522
<i>- This must be what Father</i>
<i>was talking about.</i>

1578
01:43:07,555 --> 01:43:11,458
<i>This is it,</i>
<i>the Transparent World.</i>

1579
01:43:19,567 --> 01:43:21,268
<i>Strange.</i>

1580
01:43:21,301 --> 01:43:23,037
<i>It feels like...</i>

1581
01:43:23,071 --> 01:43:25,707
<i>time is passing by so slowly.</i>

1582
01:43:27,407 --> 01:43:31,746
<i>Or maybe their movements</i>
<i>just</i> look <i>slower now.</i>

1583
01:43:37,451 --> 01:43:39,887
<i>It's no use.</i>

1584
01:43:39,921 --> 01:43:43,124
<i>A hundred strikes at once</i>
<i>is unavoidable.</i>

1585
01:43:43,157 --> 01:43:44,792
<i>Even with Dead Calm,</i>

1586
01:43:44,826 --> 01:43:48,228
<i>I still wasn't able</i>
<i>to block all of 'em.</i>

1587
01:43:49,496 --> 01:43:51,199
- Stand proud, Giyu.

1588
01:43:51,231 --> 01:43:54,135
Most wouldn't have
been able to survive that.

1589
01:43:54,168 --> 01:43:56,971
You must have evaded
my fatal blows.

1590
01:43:57,972 --> 01:43:59,507
There's no need for you to die

1591
01:43:59,540 --> 01:44:01,909
like Kyojuro and Tanjiro did.

1592
01:44:01,943 --> 01:44:05,546
Give up your pride
and become a demon, Giyu.

1593
01:44:06,514 --> 01:44:08,415
<i>Tanjiro's behind him...</i>

1594
01:44:08,448 --> 01:44:10,618
<i>and he hasn't noticed?</i>

1595
01:44:10,651 --> 01:44:13,320
- Even you can't deny...
<i>- Is he masking his presence?</i>

1596
01:44:13,353 --> 01:44:14,421
<i>Now's our chance.</i>

1597
01:44:14,454 --> 01:44:15,823
- ...to the death.

1598
01:44:15,857 --> 01:44:17,491
<i>- Tanjiro, do it!</i>

1599
01:44:17,525 --> 01:44:20,360
<i>If you have the strength,</i>
<i>behead him!</i>

1600
01:44:20,393 --> 01:44:22,295
<i>Before he notices you!</i>

1601
01:44:22,329 --> 01:44:23,965
<i>Go for it!</i>

1602
01:44:23,998 --> 01:44:25,298
- Akaza!

1603
01:44:25,332 --> 01:44:27,869
Prepare to be decapitated!

1604
01:44:27,902 --> 01:44:28,770
- Huh?

1605
01:44:33,574 --> 01:44:36,844
<i>- He willingly</i>
<i>gave himself away!</i>

1606
01:44:36,878 --> 01:44:38,880
<i>- He's still alive?</i>

1607
01:44:38,913 --> 01:44:40,782
<i>I never would have</i>
<i>thought someone like him</i>

1608
01:44:40,815 --> 01:44:43,217
<i>could survive</i>
<i>an attack like that.</i>

1609
01:44:43,251 --> 01:44:46,220
<i>Well, it doesn't matter.</i>
<i>After all,</i>

1610
01:44:46,254 --> 01:44:47,955
<i>my Destructive Death:</i>
<i>Compass Needle</i>

1611
01:44:47,989 --> 01:44:49,924
<i>can detect any attack.</i>

1612
01:44:49,957 --> 01:44:53,227
<i>The stronger my opponent's</i>
<i>fighting spirit is,</i>

1613
01:44:53,261 --> 01:44:56,197
<i>the greater</i>
<i>my Compass Needle's reaction.</i>

1614
01:44:59,033 --> 01:45:01,602
<i>Wh-What is this?</i>

1615
01:45:01,636 --> 01:45:04,371
<i>What is this odd presence</i>
<i>he's emitting?</i>

1616
01:45:04,404 --> 01:45:06,240
<i>It feels like</i>
<i>he's turned himself</i>

1617
01:45:06,274 --> 01:45:09,544
<i>into some other creature.</i>
<i>It's like...</i>

1618
01:45:11,112 --> 01:45:13,714
<i>His fighting spirit is gone.</i>

1619
01:45:13,748 --> 01:45:14,481
<i>But how?</i>

1620
01:45:14,515 --> 01:45:18,085
<i>I have to calm down. Focus!</i>

1621
01:45:24,025 --> 01:45:26,194
<i>- Hinokami Kagura</i>

1622
01:45:26,227 --> 01:45:28,796
<i>Setting Sun Transformation.</i>

1623
01:45:50,184 --> 01:45:52,820
<i>- This can't be possible.</i>

1624
01:45:59,193 --> 01:46:01,896
<i>- In the last</i>
<i>several hundred years,</i>

1625
01:46:01,929 --> 01:46:05,967
<i>I've never once seen a human</i>
<i>without any fighting spirit.</i>

1626
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,604
<i>Even newborn children</i>
<i>had traces of it.</i>

1627
01:46:09,637 --> 01:46:14,008
<i>And yet, in that instant,</i>
<i>his fighting spirit vanished</i>

1628
01:46:14,041 --> 01:46:16,677
<i>as if it were never there</i>
<i>to begin with.</i>

1629
01:46:20,214 --> 01:46:21,549
<i>It's as if I was facing</i>

1630
01:46:21,582 --> 01:46:23,885
<i>an anomaly</i>
<i>that shouldn't even exist,</i>

1631
01:46:23,918 --> 01:46:27,355
<i>so my senses were thrown</i>
<i>into confusion.</i>

1632
01:46:27,387 --> 01:46:30,958
<i>My Compass Needle</i>
<i>detected nothing.</i>

1633
01:46:32,093 --> 01:46:35,596
<i>But that's not the biggest</i>
<i>issue at hand here.</i>

1634
01:46:35,630 --> 01:46:37,397
<i>When on the battlefield,</i>

1635
01:46:37,430 --> 01:46:39,867
<i>there's no telling</i>
<i>what could come your way.</i>

1636
01:46:39,901 --> 01:46:42,502
<i>It's vital that you're able</i>
<i>to deal with the unexpected</i>

1637
01:46:42,536 --> 01:46:44,605
<i>at a moment's notice.</i>

1638
01:46:44,639 --> 01:46:46,741
<i>And I'm able to do that!</i>

1639
01:46:47,642 --> 01:46:50,544
<i>Or at least, I thought so.</i>

1640
01:46:51,411 --> 01:46:54,215
<i>But during that short battle,</i>

1641
01:46:54,248 --> 01:46:56,150
<i>he was able</i>
<i>to grasp something</i>

1642
01:46:56,183 --> 01:46:59,320
<i>and use it surpass my speed.</i>

1643
01:46:59,353 --> 01:47:00,487
<i>Whatever it was he learned</i>

1644
01:47:00,521 --> 01:47:02,056
<i>was able to shatter</i>
<i>centuries worth</i>

1645
01:47:02,089 --> 01:47:05,993
<i>of martial arts techniques</i>
<i>with a single head-on attack.</i>

1646
01:47:06,794 --> 01:47:08,396
<i>Within those eyes of his,</i>

1647
01:47:08,428 --> 01:47:10,731
<i>there was no hatred,</i>
<i>no rage,</i>

1648
01:47:10,765 --> 01:47:14,568
<i>no killing intent,</i>
<i>or fighting spirit.</i>

1649
01:47:14,602 --> 01:47:17,538
<i>He must have somehow seen</i>
<i>what I've been looking for,</i>

1650
01:47:17,571 --> 01:47:19,807
<i>the domain that lies within,</i>

1651
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:21,842
<i>the realm of the highest...</i>

1652
01:47:23,611 --> 01:47:26,180
<i>none other</i>
<i>than the selfless state.</i>

1653
01:47:28,448 --> 01:47:30,618
<i>For some time now,</i>
<i>I've had a vague sense</i>

1654
01:47:30,651 --> 01:47:33,554
<i>that this state</i>
<i>of mind existed,</i>

1655
01:47:33,587 --> 01:47:36,123
<i>and yet, even after</i>
<i>all these centuries,</i>

1656
01:47:36,157 --> 01:47:37,959
<i>I've yet to attain it.</i>

1657
01:47:47,168 --> 01:47:48,903
<i>- Not yet!</i>

1658
01:47:48,936 --> 01:47:50,604
<i>I can still fight!</i>

1659
01:47:50,638 --> 01:47:53,541
<i>I will continue</i>
<i>to become stronger!</i>

1660
01:47:59,447 --> 01:48:03,017
<i>- This is bad.</i>
<i>He's reattaching his head!</i>

1661
01:48:11,592 --> 01:48:13,894
<i>I can't die here.</i>

1662
01:48:15,463 --> 01:48:17,164
<i>Not like this!</i>

1663
01:48:20,134 --> 01:48:23,004
<i>I have to become stronger.</i>

1664
01:48:24,972 --> 01:48:28,409
<i>Stronger than anyone else</i>
<i>in the whole world!</i>

1665
01:48:28,442 --> 01:48:30,811
<i>Stronger!</i>

1666
01:48:32,513 --> 01:48:35,850
<i>I have to find a way</i>
<i>to become stronger.</i>

1667
01:48:45,192 --> 01:48:46,394
<i>That's it.</i>

1668
01:48:46,427 --> 01:48:48,029
<i>It's over.</i>

1669
01:48:49,897 --> 01:48:51,098
<i>We won!</i>

1670
01:48:55,603 --> 01:48:58,005
So lightheaded.

1671
01:48:59,607 --> 01:49:01,675
<i>My muscles are cramping up.</i>

1672
01:49:01,709 --> 01:49:04,145
<i>My body's reached its limit.</i>

1673
01:49:06,714 --> 01:49:08,249
- Tanjiro! Are you all ri--

1674
01:49:09,383 --> 01:49:12,853
<i>His body hasn't</i>
<i>disintegrated yet.</i>

1675
01:49:12,887 --> 01:49:16,123
<i>Does-- Does this mean...</i>

1676
01:49:16,157 --> 01:49:17,224
Tan--

1677
01:49:28,069 --> 01:49:31,072
<i>- He's moving.</i>
<i>His body is still intact!</i>

1678
01:49:31,105 --> 01:49:33,641
<i>The severed part</i>
<i>is closing up!</i>

1679
01:49:36,644 --> 01:49:38,746
<i>I can't see straight.</i>

1680
01:49:51,225 --> 01:49:53,928
<i>No-- No way!</i>

1681
01:49:53,961 --> 01:49:56,397
<i>Slashing his neck</i>
<i>didn't kill him!</i>

1682
01:49:56,430 --> 01:49:58,199
<i>Is there some kind</i>
<i>of condition,</i>

1683
01:49:58,232 --> 01:50:00,401
<i>like with Gyutaro and Daki?</i>

1684
01:50:00,434 --> 01:50:01,402
<i>That can't be it.</i>

1685
01:50:01,435 --> 01:50:03,704
<i>His head disintegrated,</i>

1686
01:50:03,737 --> 01:50:05,806
<i>yet he hasn't given up!</i>

1687
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:09,143
<i>Its like</i>
<i>he's trying to evolve!</i>

1688
01:50:15,449 --> 01:50:16,817
<i>- If we don't do something,</i>

1689
01:50:16,851 --> 01:50:19,653
<i>his head will stop being</i>
<i>his weak point, like Muzan!</i>

1690
01:50:20,555 --> 01:50:22,490
This battle isn't over yet.

1691
01:50:22,524 --> 01:50:23,991
I have to...

1692
01:50:24,024 --> 01:50:25,326
fight.

1693
01:50:25,359 --> 01:50:26,460
- Tanjiro!

1694
01:50:26,494 --> 01:50:28,229
He's fainted.

1695
01:50:28,262 --> 01:50:29,663
Of course he has!

1696
01:50:29,697 --> 01:50:32,266
He's long since
passed his limit.

1697
01:50:41,842 --> 01:50:43,344
<i>Water Breathing...</i>

1698
01:50:43,377 --> 01:50:45,246
Fourth Form...

1699
01:50:47,616 --> 01:50:49,316
Striking Tide!

1700
01:50:54,121 --> 01:50:55,723
<i>Ridiculous!</i>

1701
01:50:55,756 --> 01:50:56,891
<i>He lost his head</i>

1702
01:50:56,924 --> 01:50:59,760
<i>and can still</i>
<i>regenerate that quickly?!</i>

1703
01:51:23,450 --> 01:51:25,686
<i>I can't hear</i>
<i>out of my left ear,</i>

1704
01:51:25,719 --> 01:51:28,289
<i>and my right hand</i>
<i>has gone numb.</i>

1705
01:51:28,322 --> 01:51:33,127
<i>I can still grip my sword,</i>
<i>but who knows for how long?</i>

1706
01:51:41,702 --> 01:51:43,204
Wait!

1707
01:51:43,237 --> 01:51:47,041
I-I'm here.

1708
01:51:47,074 --> 01:51:49,009
I'm still alive!

1709
01:51:49,043 --> 01:51:51,111
If you want to kill Tanjiro,

1710
01:51:51,145 --> 01:51:53,781
you'll have
to defeat me first!

1711
01:51:57,519 --> 01:51:59,954
<i>An indomitable spirit.</i>

1712
01:51:59,987 --> 01:52:01,255
<i>It will never bend,</i>

1713
01:52:01,288 --> 01:52:04,593
<i>no matter what crisis</i>
<i>it finds itself in.</i>

1714
01:52:04,626 --> 01:52:07,962
<i>We don't fight</i>
<i>the way samurai do.</i>

1715
01:52:07,995 --> 01:52:10,130
<i>We don't carry weapons.</i>

1716
01:52:10,164 --> 01:52:13,300
<i>Though we carry</i>
<i>our convictions like swords.</i>

1717
01:52:14,735 --> 01:52:18,806
- Though we carry
our convictions like swords,

1718
01:52:18,839 --> 01:52:23,410
our battles
are waged with our fists.

1719
01:52:24,411 --> 01:52:27,448
<i>- You are such an eyesore.</i>

1720
01:52:37,992 --> 01:52:39,460
Please stop.

1721
01:52:45,766 --> 01:52:47,301
<i>Who is that?</i>

1722
01:52:52,406 --> 01:52:54,643
- Mr. Hakuji...

1723
01:52:54,676 --> 01:52:56,377
please, that's enough.

1724
01:52:59,480 --> 01:53:01,448
<i>- Let go.</i>

1725
01:53:01,482 --> 01:53:03,585
<i>Let go of my hand.</i>

1726
01:53:03,618 --> 01:53:05,853
<i>Just who are you?</i>

1727
01:53:07,321 --> 01:53:09,823
- Stop.
You don't have to keep going.

1728
01:53:09,857 --> 01:53:12,926
Let's leave
this place together

1729
01:53:13,728 --> 01:53:15,329
<i>- I can't.</i>

1730
01:53:15,362 --> 01:53:19,066
<i>I've still got unfinished</i>
<i>business with those two.</i>

1731
01:53:20,434 --> 01:53:22,903
- What do you mean by that?

1732
01:53:22,936 --> 01:53:25,172
<i>- I've got</i>
<i>to become stronger.</i>

1733
01:53:25,205 --> 01:53:26,775
<i>I've got to.</i>

1734
01:53:26,807 --> 01:53:30,144
<i>I'll kill anyone</i>
<i>who gets in my way.</i>

1735
01:53:30,944 --> 01:53:32,514
- Why do you want that?

1736
01:53:33,748 --> 01:53:37,251
For what reason do you
need to become stronger?

1737
01:53:38,285 --> 01:53:39,688
<i>- Because...</i>

1738
01:53:39,721 --> 01:53:42,256
<i>unless I'm strong enough,</i>

1739
01:53:42,289 --> 01:53:45,560
<i>I won't be able to bring</i>
<i>any more back home to him.</i>

1740
01:53:47,729 --> 01:53:50,097
<i>He needs medicine.</i>

1741
01:53:52,399 --> 01:53:54,902
<i>I must become stronger.</i>

1742
01:53:57,004 --> 01:53:59,473
<i>If I don't,</i>
<i>I won't be able to get away</i>

1743
01:53:59,506 --> 01:54:00,709
<i>with the money I stole.</i>

1744
01:54:02,009 --> 01:54:03,877
<i>If I happen to be caught,</i>

1745
01:54:03,911 --> 01:54:06,715
<i>I won't be able</i>
<i>to defend myself.</i>

1746
01:54:06,748 --> 01:54:09,517
<i>If I'm not strong enough,</i>

1747
01:54:09,551 --> 01:54:10,951
<i>the magistrate</i>
<i>will catch me</i>

1748
01:54:10,984 --> 01:54:13,588
<i>and have me</i>
<i>beaten and lashed.</i>

1749
01:54:16,558 --> 01:54:17,826
- We've already given you

1750
01:54:17,858 --> 01:54:20,961
three tattoos on each arm
for stealing.

1751
01:54:20,994 --> 01:54:23,698
Next time,
we'll chop off your hand.

1752
01:54:31,573 --> 01:54:33,307
- Bow your head and repent!

1753
01:54:33,340 --> 01:54:35,643
- If you're gonna chop it off,
then do it!

1754
01:54:35,677 --> 01:54:38,847
Go ahead and take both of 'em
if you're really serious.

1755
01:54:38,879 --> 01:54:41,048
I'll just
use my feet to steal!

1756
01:54:41,081 --> 01:54:42,617
You're not gonna
catch me again,

1757
01:54:42,650 --> 01:54:44,586
so make it count!

1758
01:54:46,420 --> 01:54:49,957
- To hear this from someone
at such a young age.

1759
01:54:49,990 --> 01:54:52,660
This boy of 11 has
already taken on punishments

1760
01:54:52,694 --> 01:54:55,597
that would make
a grown man faint.

1761
01:54:56,598 --> 01:54:58,265
You are a demon child!

1762
01:54:58,298 --> 01:55:00,434
- Go and call me
whatever names you want!

1763
01:55:00,467 --> 01:55:03,003
"Demon child"
suits me just damn fine!

1764
01:55:03,036 --> 01:55:05,472
They say I already
had teeth when I was born,

1765
01:55:05,506 --> 01:55:06,641
so I guess I am!

1766
01:55:06,674 --> 01:55:07,609
- Be quiet!

1767
01:55:07,642 --> 01:55:08,843
- Dirty little punk!

1768
01:55:08,877 --> 01:55:12,112
- Don't you mean
"Demon Child," you bastard?!

1769
01:55:15,650 --> 01:55:17,017
Hmph.

1770
01:55:21,523 --> 01:55:22,824
- Hakuji!

1771
01:55:22,857 --> 01:55:24,925
Ah! There you are!

1772
01:55:24,958 --> 01:55:27,227
When you were caught
for stealing again,

1773
01:55:27,261 --> 01:55:31,131
word about it made
its way back to your father.

1774
01:55:31,165 --> 01:55:33,768
He hung himself, Hakuji!

1775
01:55:33,802 --> 01:55:35,169
- Huh?

1776
01:55:38,606 --> 01:55:41,810
<i>Dear Hakuji.</i>

1777
01:55:41,843 --> 01:55:44,144
<i>Live an honest life.</i>

1778
01:55:44,178 --> 01:55:46,581
<i>You can still start over.</i>

1779
01:55:53,954 --> 01:55:56,256
<i>What kind</i>
<i>of world is this?</i>

1780
01:55:56,290 --> 01:55:59,059
<i>Are the poor</i>
<i>not even allowed to live?</i>

1781
01:56:04,364 --> 01:56:05,432
<i>Dad.</i>

1782
01:56:07,702 --> 01:56:09,771
<i>To hell with</i>
<i>this rotten world,</i>

1783
01:56:09,804 --> 01:56:10,872
<i>to all of it!</i>

1784
01:56:14,241 --> 01:56:16,678
<i>Every rotten human,</i>

1785
01:56:16,711 --> 01:56:18,646
<i>they can all burn in hell!</i>

1786
01:56:22,517 --> 01:56:25,620
<i>Why do scumbags like them</i>
<i>get the privilege of living</i>

1787
01:56:25,653 --> 01:56:29,122
<i>when my father had to die</i>
<i>in such a horrible way?</i>

1788
01:56:29,156 --> 01:56:31,258
<i>He was never a burden to me,</i>

1789
01:56:31,291 --> 01:56:34,127
<i>so why would he</i>
<i>feel that way?</i>

1790
01:56:34,161 --> 01:56:36,463
<i>You didn't</i>
<i>do anything wrong, Dad!</i>

1791
01:56:36,497 --> 01:56:37,431
<i>You didn't!</i>

1792
01:56:39,868 --> 01:56:41,669
<i>I never cared</i>
<i>about getting beaten</i>

1793
01:56:41,703 --> 01:56:44,104
<i>after I was caught stealing.</i>

1794
01:56:44,137 --> 01:56:45,272
<i>Even if they beat me</i>

1795
01:56:45,305 --> 01:56:47,742
<i>until every bone</i>
<i>in my body was broken,</i>

1796
01:56:47,775 --> 01:56:51,478
<i>I could take it all for you,</i>
<i>Dad! For centuries, even!</i>

1797
01:56:51,513 --> 01:56:52,714
- Learn your lesson!

1798
01:56:52,747 --> 01:56:53,982
Live an honest life!

1799
01:56:55,282 --> 01:56:57,919
<i>Why don't you shut</i>
<i>the hell up, you scumbag?</i>

1800
01:56:57,952 --> 01:56:59,988
<i>Medicine's expensive.</i>

1801
01:57:00,020 --> 01:57:02,757
<i>The hell do you expect me</i>
<i>to do about that?</i>

1802
01:57:02,790 --> 01:57:08,161
<i>My Dad's only getting thinner</i>
<i>and thinner by the day.</i>

1803
01:57:08,195 --> 01:57:12,299
<i>He's so malnourished,</i>
<i>you can see his bones.</i>

1804
01:57:12,332 --> 01:57:15,770
<i>I just want him to have</i>
<i>something better to eat.</i>

1805
01:57:18,071 --> 01:57:20,708
<i>I would have</i>
<i>happily given my life...</i>

1806
01:57:22,644 --> 01:57:24,812
<i>if it meant saving his.</i>

1807
01:57:31,051 --> 01:57:32,954
<i>I'd have done anything...</i>

1808
01:57:32,987 --> 01:57:35,122
<i>for my father!</i>

1809
01:57:42,262 --> 01:57:42,997
Huh?

1810
01:57:43,031 --> 01:57:44,566
- Well, well.

1811
01:57:44,599 --> 01:57:46,333
I am quite impressed.

1812
01:57:46,366 --> 01:57:48,368
I was called over
because someone said

1813
01:57:48,402 --> 01:57:50,270
that a child
was about to be killed,

1814
01:57:50,304 --> 01:57:53,875
but you've laid out seven
grownups with your bare fists.

1815
01:57:53,908 --> 01:57:56,343
You've got some talent,
don't ya?

1816
01:57:56,376 --> 01:57:59,948
Not just anyone can take on
that many guys and still win.

1817
01:57:59,981 --> 01:58:02,650
That's the kind of spunk
I like to see.

1818
01:58:04,886 --> 01:58:07,055
<i>- What's going on here?</i>

1819
01:58:07,087 --> 01:58:09,389
<i>Who is this man?</i>

1820
01:58:09,423 --> 01:58:12,326
<i>Could these be my memories?</i>

1821
01:58:12,359 --> 01:58:14,428
- How 'bout you join my dojo?

1822
01:58:14,461 --> 01:58:17,130
I don't have any students
at the moment.

1823
01:58:17,164 --> 01:58:19,067
- Stay out of my way,
you old fart!

1824
01:58:19,099 --> 01:58:20,434
You lookin' to die?!

1825
01:58:20,467 --> 01:58:22,737
Those tattoos...

1826
01:58:22,770 --> 01:58:24,539
- you're a criminal from Edo.

1827
01:58:24,572 --> 01:58:26,874
I'm guessing,
after being thrown out,

1828
01:58:26,908 --> 01:58:29,376
you eventually
found your way here.

1829
01:58:29,409 --> 01:58:31,378
I never asked
for your opinion.

1830
01:58:31,411 --> 01:58:34,082
Now shut up and
get the hell out of my way!

1831
01:58:34,114 --> 01:58:35,182
- Hmph!

1832
01:58:35,215 --> 01:58:37,752
All right. Time to be reborn!

1833
01:58:38,753 --> 01:58:40,253
You ready?

1834
01:58:41,089 --> 01:58:42,056
- That's it.

1835
01:58:42,090 --> 01:58:44,592
Drop dead, old man!

1836
01:59:04,411 --> 01:59:07,314
- I'll give it to ya.
You're tough!

1837
01:59:07,347 --> 01:59:09,149
After that beating
I gave you,

1838
01:59:09,182 --> 01:59:11,318
you came to
in less than an hour.

1839
01:59:12,219 --> 01:59:14,122
The name's Keizo.

1840
01:59:14,154 --> 01:59:16,156
I teach the Soryu Style
of fighting,

1841
01:59:16,189 --> 01:59:18,626
which uses
only your bare hands.

1842
01:59:18,660 --> 01:59:22,329
Like I said, I don't have
any other students,

1843
01:59:22,362 --> 01:59:26,199
so I get by by doing whatever
odd jobs I can for people.

1844
01:59:28,670 --> 01:59:31,405
I have a daughter
who's in rather poor health.

1845
01:59:31,438 --> 01:59:34,241
I'd like you
to help look after her.

1846
01:59:34,274 --> 01:59:38,211
I'd be here if I could,
but I have to work.

1847
01:59:38,245 --> 01:59:41,082
My wife was pushed
to the edge of exhaustion

1848
01:59:41,115 --> 01:59:43,551
and drowned herself.

1849
01:59:43,584 --> 01:59:46,319
Life sure takes a bite
out of you, doesn't it?

1850
01:59:50,257 --> 01:59:52,292
- If I were
a more capable man,

1851
01:59:52,325 --> 01:59:55,195
my wife and daughter wouldn't
have suffered like this.

1852
01:59:58,231 --> 02:00:00,300
- You said
you knew I was a criminal.

1853
02:00:00,333 --> 02:00:01,468
Are you really all right

1854
02:00:01,501 --> 02:00:03,738
leaving your daughter
around me?

1855
02:00:04,772 --> 02:00:06,574
- Why wouldn't I be?

1856
02:00:06,607 --> 02:00:09,744
I pummeled the criminal
out of you earlier, didn't I?

1857
02:00:09,777 --> 02:00:11,045
It's fine.

1858
02:00:13,781 --> 02:00:15,850
<i>They</i> are <i>alike.</i>

1859
02:00:23,658 --> 02:00:25,392
<i>I get it now.</i>

1860
02:00:26,359 --> 02:00:29,496
<i>The reason</i>
<i>you disgusted me earlier,</i>

1861
02:00:29,530 --> 02:00:31,599
<i>it was because</i>
<i>you went and dredged up</i>

1862
02:00:31,632 --> 02:00:34,434
<i>memories of</i>
<i>my worthless past.</i>

1863
02:00:39,372 --> 02:00:41,943
- This is my daughter, Koyuki.

1864
02:00:44,879 --> 02:00:47,314
<i>- My worthless past.</i>

1865
02:00:50,283 --> 02:00:51,919
<i>Worthless.</i>

1866
02:01:01,028 --> 02:01:02,295
Hakuji...

1867
02:01:02,329 --> 02:01:05,233
I'm so sorry.

1868
02:01:05,298 --> 02:01:07,568
How are you feeling?

1869
02:01:09,436 --> 02:01:11,773
- You okay being up?

1870
02:01:11,806 --> 02:01:14,008
- Mm.

1871
02:01:14,041 --> 02:01:15,143
- Looks like you've got

1872
02:01:15,176 --> 02:01:17,245
more color in your cheeks
this morning.

1873
02:01:17,277 --> 02:01:19,279
That's good.

1874
02:01:21,549 --> 02:01:22,315
Huh?

1875
02:01:22,349 --> 02:01:24,786
- Oh, yeah! This boy.

1876
02:01:24,819 --> 02:01:26,254
His name is...

1877
02:01:26,286 --> 02:01:28,990
Well, I've
asked him countless times,

1878
02:01:29,023 --> 02:01:30,124
and he won't say.

1879
02:01:30,158 --> 02:01:32,226
Go on! Get inside.

1880
02:01:34,028 --> 02:01:35,730
- Have a seat.

1881
02:01:36,831 --> 02:01:39,934
- I'll wanna know his name
when I get back, okay?

1882
02:01:47,875 --> 02:01:48,943
Mm.

1883
02:01:50,178 --> 02:01:51,212
Hmm?

1884
02:01:51,245 --> 02:01:52,780
U-Um...

1885
02:01:52,814 --> 02:01:56,818
Your-- Your face.

1886
02:01:56,851 --> 02:01:58,485
You're hurt.

1887
02:01:58,519 --> 02:02:00,453
Are you all right?

1888
02:02:03,691 --> 02:02:05,693
<i>"I'll make you better."</i>

1889
02:02:05,726 --> 02:02:09,462
<i>"I'll save you,</i>
<i>protect you."</i>

1890
02:02:09,496 --> 02:02:14,535
<i>In that past life, all I did</i>
<i>was spew a bunch of lies.</i>

1891
02:02:14,569 --> 02:02:16,469
<i>I was so pathetic.</i>

1892
02:02:32,720 --> 02:02:34,689
Oh, thank you.

1893
02:02:35,923 --> 02:02:38,893
- You don't have to thank me
every time, you know.

1894
02:02:38,926 --> 02:02:40,728
Just focus on resting.

1895
02:02:42,296 --> 02:02:43,764
- I'm sorry...

1896
02:02:43,798 --> 02:02:46,234
for causing you trouble
like this.

1897
02:02:46,267 --> 02:02:48,501
- It's fine, really.

1898
02:02:50,137 --> 02:02:53,307
Koyuki, want this closed?

1899
02:02:55,176 --> 02:02:57,377
You can leave it open.

1900
02:02:59,146 --> 02:03:01,983
<i>Koyuki was</i>
<i>very delicate and frail.</i>

1901
02:03:03,351 --> 02:03:05,820
<i>I would change out</i>
<i>her towels and nightgown</i>

1902
02:03:05,853 --> 02:03:09,422
<i>and give her water,</i>
<i>even throughout the night.</i>

1903
02:03:09,456 --> 02:03:12,159
<i>And whenever she needed</i>
<i>to use the lavatory,</i>

1904
02:03:12,193 --> 02:03:13,661
<i>obviously she was too weak</i>

1905
02:03:13,694 --> 02:03:16,429
<i>to be able to go</i>
<i>without needing assistance.</i>

1906
02:03:20,101 --> 02:03:23,604
<i>I was used to taking care of</i>
<i>the sick because of my dad,</i>

1907
02:03:23,638 --> 02:03:27,275
<i>and since I had an almost</i>
<i>inhuman physical endurance,</i>

1908
02:03:27,308 --> 02:03:29,577
<i>it really wasn't</i>
<i>a big deal for me.</i>

1909
02:03:34,447 --> 02:03:36,984
Sorry to make you
help me all day.

1910
02:03:43,490 --> 02:03:46,394
<i>- Why do people who are</i>
<i>suffering from illness</i>

1911
02:03:46,426 --> 02:03:49,830
<i>always feel the need</i>
<i>to say they're sorry?</i>

1912
02:03:49,864 --> 02:03:52,333
<i>"Sorry to make you</i>
<i>do things for me."</i>

1913
02:03:52,366 --> 02:03:55,770
<i>"Sorry if my coughing's</i>
<i>bothering you."</i>

1914
02:03:55,803 --> 02:03:59,006
<i>"Sorry I can't put food</i>
<i>on the table like I should."</i>

1915
02:04:00,741 --> 02:04:03,978
<i>They didn't choose</i>
<i>to have to live this way.</i>

1916
02:04:04,011 --> 02:04:06,414
<i>'Course they</i>
<i>wanna breathe normally.</i>

1917
02:04:06,446 --> 02:04:09,817
<i>They can't help it</i>
<i>if they start coughing.</i>

1918
02:04:09,850 --> 02:04:13,854
<i>Out of everyone, they're</i>
<i>the ones suffering the most.</i>

1919
02:04:16,657 --> 02:04:19,492
- Sorry again
to make you do this.

1920
02:04:19,527 --> 02:04:21,562
Because of my sickness

1921
02:04:21,595 --> 02:04:24,198
you're not able
to do your training

1922
02:04:24,231 --> 02:04:26,701
or even go out and have fun.

1923
02:04:26,734 --> 02:04:29,270
- I don't care
about having fun.

1924
02:04:29,303 --> 02:04:31,405
I never have.

1925
02:04:31,439 --> 02:04:33,007
Far as training goes,

1926
02:04:33,040 --> 02:04:36,043
I squeeze it in
whenever I can, so it's fine.

1927
02:04:37,044 --> 02:04:38,879
- You sure?

1928
02:04:38,913 --> 02:04:42,917
Even you need to take
a little break.

1929
02:04:42,950 --> 02:04:46,520
I hear there are fireworks
happening tonight.

1930
02:04:46,554 --> 02:04:48,923
You should go see them.

1931
02:04:49,924 --> 02:04:51,692
- Fireworks, huh?

1932
02:04:51,726 --> 02:04:53,928
If you don't feel
nauseous at night,

1933
02:04:53,961 --> 02:04:57,732
I could carry you on my back
and go see them on the bridge.

1934
02:04:57,765 --> 02:04:58,866
- Huh?

1935
02:05:02,436 --> 02:05:04,205
- If you're
not feeling up to it,

1936
02:05:04,238 --> 02:05:07,475
they'll do fireworks again
next year and after that,

1937
02:05:07,508 --> 02:05:09,877
so we can just go
when you're better.

1938
02:05:18,652 --> 02:05:20,121
<i>- There was one thing</i>

1939
02:05:20,154 --> 02:05:22,356
<i>that was hard</i>
<i>about taking care of her,</i>

1940
02:05:22,390 --> 02:05:23,524
<i>and that was whenever</i>

1941
02:05:23,557 --> 02:05:25,493
<i>she would suddenly</i>
<i>break out into tears</i>

1942
02:05:25,526 --> 02:05:28,195
<i>in the middle</i>
<i>of our conversations.</i>

1943
02:05:28,229 --> 02:05:29,930
<i>I can imagine how she felt,</i>

1944
02:05:29,964 --> 02:05:32,600
<i>bedridden and sick</i>
<i>as she was...</i>

1945
02:05:32,633 --> 02:05:35,102
<i>but it still</i>
<i>made me uncomfortable.</i>

1946
02:05:50,217 --> 02:05:52,186
Ah, now I understand.

1947
02:05:52,219 --> 02:05:54,488
The symbol used for "Hakuji,"

1948
02:05:54,523 --> 02:05:56,257
it's the same as "komainu."

1949
02:05:56,290 --> 02:05:58,092
Hmph. That makes sense.

1950
02:05:58,125 --> 02:06:00,628
You and I really are
the same after all.

1951
02:06:00,661 --> 02:06:03,664
We only thrive when we
have something to protect.

1952
02:06:03,697 --> 02:06:04,932
Just like the komainu

1953
02:06:04,965 --> 02:06:07,101
who protect the entrance
to the shrines.

1954
02:06:12,339 --> 02:06:15,709
<i>- There was a story as to how</i>
<i>my Master owned this land,</i>

1955
02:06:15,743 --> 02:06:17,378
<i>even though</i>
<i>he wasn't a samurai</i>

1956
02:06:17,411 --> 02:06:18,846
<i>or anything like that.</i>

1957
02:06:18,879 --> 02:06:22,850
<i>He had rescued an elderly man</i>
<i>from a group of bandits.</i>

1958
02:06:22,883 --> 02:06:25,119
<i>The old man,</i>
<i>who had no living heirs,</i>

1959
02:06:25,152 --> 02:06:27,688
<i>was so impressed</i>
<i>by his Soryu technique</i>

1960
02:06:27,721 --> 02:06:29,558
<i>that he left him</i>
<i>not only his land</i>

1961
02:06:29,590 --> 02:06:31,659
<i>but the dojo</i>
<i>that lay upon it.</i>

1962
02:06:34,595 --> 02:06:37,765
<i>However, there were</i>
<i>those with envious eyes</i>

1963
02:06:37,798 --> 02:06:41,469
<i>who wished to have the land</i>
<i>and dojo all to themselves.</i>

1964
02:06:41,502 --> 02:06:43,971
<i>The kenjutsu dojo next door</i>

1965
02:06:44,004 --> 02:06:46,807
<i>started harassing</i>
<i>the Soryu Dojo.</i>

1966
02:06:48,442 --> 02:06:50,678
<i>Because of that,</i>
<i>the Soryu Dojo</i>

1967
02:06:50,711 --> 02:06:53,080
<i>had a hard time</i>
<i>keeping any students.</i>

1968
02:07:00,488 --> 02:07:03,324
<i>But now,</i>
<i>thanks to my training here</i>

1969
02:07:03,357 --> 02:07:05,759
<i>and caring for Koyuki,</i>

1970
02:07:05,793 --> 02:07:09,864
<i>my heart has</i>
<i>finally found salvation.</i>

1971
02:07:28,883 --> 02:07:33,487
<i>Three short years went by,</i>
<i>and I turned 18.</i>

1972
02:07:33,522 --> 02:07:36,023
<i>Koyuki was 16.</i>

1973
02:07:36,056 --> 02:07:38,225
<i>She was almost</i>
<i>never bedridden anymore</i>

1974
02:07:38,259 --> 02:07:41,262
<i>and was now able</i>
<i>to live a normal life.</i>

1975
02:07:45,799 --> 02:07:47,801
- Hakuji! Come here.

1976
02:07:48,637 --> 02:07:50,104
- Yes, sir.

1977
02:07:51,405 --> 02:07:52,706
- This dojo...

1978
02:07:52,740 --> 02:07:56,243
would you be willing to
take it over for me, Hakuji?

1979
02:07:56,277 --> 02:08:01,015
Koyuki's told me that she's
quite fond of you as well.

1980
02:08:01,048 --> 02:08:02,183
- Huh?

1981
02:08:09,823 --> 02:08:12,561
<i>- As someone branded with</i>
<i>the tattoos of a criminal,</i>

1982
02:08:12,594 --> 02:08:16,830
<i>picturing any kind of future</i>
<i>for myself was hard enough.</i>

1983
02:08:16,864 --> 02:08:21,969
<i>But a future in which someone</i>
<i>could like a person like me?</i>

1984
02:08:22,002 --> 02:08:25,039
<i>I couldn't have</i>
<i>even dreamed it.</i>

1985
02:08:26,106 --> 02:08:28,742
<i>My dad asked me</i>
<i>to lead an honest life,</i>

1986
02:08:28,776 --> 02:08:31,011
<i>something I never</i>
<i>thought was possible.</i>

1987
02:08:31,045 --> 02:08:34,248
<i>But perhaps it really is.</i>

1988
02:08:34,281 --> 02:08:37,686
<i>The faint hope</i>
<i>of being able to start over</i>

1989
02:08:37,718 --> 02:08:39,887
<i>began to swell within me</i>

1990
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:42,990
<i>until it felt like it</i>
<i>was about to burst.</i>

1991
02:08:49,196 --> 02:08:51,365
<i>But I could never have</i>
<i>predicted in that moment</i>

1992
02:08:51,398 --> 02:08:53,867
<i>that the two people</i>
<i>I wanted to protect</i>

1993
02:08:53,901 --> 02:08:57,238
<i>more than anything else</i>
<i>in this life...</i>

1994
02:08:57,271 --> 02:08:59,773
<i>would end up</i>
<i>meeting the fate they did.</i>

1995
02:09:04,912 --> 02:09:08,882
<i>I had made a trip to Edo</i>
<i>to visit my dad's grave.</i>

1996
02:09:08,916 --> 02:09:12,052
<i>I wanted to let him know</i>
<i>that I was getting married.</i>

1997
02:09:21,563 --> 02:09:25,799
<i>I returned before even a full</i>
<i>day and night had passed...</i>

1998
02:09:28,570 --> 02:09:31,438
<i>yet a sense of dread</i>
<i>came over me.</i>

1999
02:09:32,306 --> 02:09:35,075
<i>My chest started</i>
<i>to feel tight,</i>

2000
02:09:35,109 --> 02:09:38,045
<i>and a terrible feeling</i>
<i>of nausea overtook me.</i>

2001
02:09:40,615 --> 02:09:43,884
Someone put poison
in the well!

2002
02:09:43,917 --> 02:09:45,286
The other school was so angry

2003
02:09:45,319 --> 02:09:47,321
they couldn't beat you
or Mr. Keizo,

2004
02:09:47,354 --> 02:09:49,691
they went and did this
out of spite!

2005
02:09:49,724 --> 02:09:52,259
It's atrocious, unthinkable!

2006
02:09:52,293 --> 02:09:54,328
They even killed Koyuki!

2007
02:09:57,699 --> 02:09:59,900
<i>- Why? Why is it</i>

2008
02:09:59,933 --> 02:10:02,903
<i>whenever the ones I care</i>
<i>about are in mortal peril,</i>

2009
02:10:02,936 --> 02:10:05,205
<i>I'm never there for them?</i>

2010
02:10:14,014 --> 02:10:16,785
<i>I had even gone</i>
<i>and made a promise to her.</i>

2011
02:10:19,119 --> 02:10:21,922
Are you sure
that I'm the one for you?

2012
02:10:24,024 --> 02:10:25,993
- When we were children,

2013
02:10:26,026 --> 02:10:28,495
do you remember
when you talked to me

2014
02:10:28,530 --> 02:10:30,230
about seeing the fireworks?

2015
02:10:31,231 --> 02:10:32,066
- Huh?

2016
02:10:32,099 --> 02:10:35,436
Uh, no, not really.

2017
02:10:36,837 --> 02:10:39,206
- Because of those
little talks we used to have,

2018
02:10:39,239 --> 02:10:42,009
there were a lot of things
which I took with me

2019
02:10:42,042 --> 02:10:44,445
that gave me hope
for the future.

2020
02:10:44,478 --> 02:10:49,049
You said even if we couldn't
see the fireworks that year,

2021
02:10:49,083 --> 02:10:52,353
we could go to the one
happening next year

2022
02:10:52,386 --> 02:10:54,855
or the year after that.

2023
02:10:54,888 --> 02:10:57,991
The truth is, I could
never imagine a future

2024
02:10:58,025 --> 02:11:00,361
where I'd still
be alive a year later

2025
02:11:00,394 --> 02:11:03,330
and certainly
not any longer than that.

2026
02:11:04,599 --> 02:11:06,601
My mother couldn't, either.

2027
02:11:06,634 --> 02:11:09,903
I think that's why she
ended up taking her own life,

2028
02:11:09,937 --> 02:11:12,973
'cause she didn't
want to see me die.

2029
02:11:13,006 --> 02:11:14,542
Not just her.

2030
02:11:14,576 --> 02:11:17,712
I could tell my father
had given up hope, too,

2031
02:11:17,746 --> 02:11:19,413
deep down inside.

2032
02:11:20,582 --> 02:11:22,916
Because I was just so weak.

2033
02:11:24,118 --> 02:11:26,887
But you never
treated me that way.

2034
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:29,423
You were able to see
a future for me.

2035
02:11:29,456 --> 02:11:32,926
You'd talk to me
about doing things,

2036
02:11:32,960 --> 02:11:37,097
as if-- as if it were obvious
that I'd still be here.

2037
02:11:37,131 --> 02:11:40,234
That made me so very happy.

2038
02:11:51,445 --> 02:11:54,549
So, yes, I am sure
you're the one for me.

2039
02:11:56,551 --> 02:11:57,951
Would you...

2040
02:11:58,753 --> 02:12:00,988
Would you be my husband?

2041
02:12:09,229 --> 02:12:10,497
- Yes.

2042
02:12:10,532 --> 02:12:13,868
I promise to become
stronger than anyone

2043
02:12:13,902 --> 02:12:16,370
and protect you
for the rest of my life.

2044
02:12:21,008 --> 02:12:22,677
<i>- In the end....</i>

2045
02:12:22,710 --> 02:12:24,579
<i>I was all talk.</i>

2046
02:12:24,612 --> 02:12:28,315
<i>I wasn't able to fulfill</i>
<i>any of my promises.</i>

2047
02:12:40,628 --> 02:12:42,162
- What do you want?

2048
02:12:42,996 --> 02:12:45,399
You've got some nerve!

2049
02:12:45,432 --> 02:12:46,634
- Wait.

2050
02:12:46,668 --> 02:12:48,937
You're from the Soryu Sty--

2051
02:13:10,725 --> 02:13:14,328
- The family of the Soryu Dojo
were recently poisoned,

2052
02:13:14,361 --> 02:13:16,396
and we believe
that a student of theirs

2053
02:13:16,430 --> 02:13:19,534
retaliated against
the kenjutsu dojo.

2054
02:13:19,567 --> 02:13:22,402
Sixty-seven people
were murdered inside!

2055
02:13:22,436 --> 02:13:25,105
He shattered their skulls
and crushed their organs,

2056
02:13:25,138 --> 02:13:26,440
all barehanded.

2057
02:13:26,473 --> 02:13:28,576
Not only were
most of the bodies

2058
02:13:28,610 --> 02:13:31,178
mangled and mutilated
beyond recognition,

2059
02:13:31,211 --> 02:13:34,749
most had limbs missing
that we couldn't even locate.

2060
02:13:34,782 --> 02:13:36,851
Organs, limbs, brain matter,

2061
02:13:36,885 --> 02:13:38,586
even jaws and eyeballs
were found

2062
02:13:38,620 --> 02:13:42,857
strewn across the walls and
the ceiling of the premises.

2063
02:13:42,891 --> 02:13:46,561
This killer
was no ordinary human!

2064
02:14:09,216 --> 02:14:11,084
- I heard there was
some commotion

2065
02:14:11,118 --> 02:14:13,186
about a demon sighting here,

2066
02:14:13,220 --> 02:14:16,290
even though I know
I never sent one.

2067
02:14:16,323 --> 02:14:19,159
So I decided
to come see for myself.

2068
02:14:19,192 --> 02:14:21,829
Yet all I find is a human.

2069
02:14:21,863 --> 02:14:24,298
How utterly disappointing.

2070
02:14:25,399 --> 02:14:27,035
- Move...

2071
02:14:27,100 --> 02:14:28,468
or I'll kill--

2072
02:14:33,273 --> 02:14:34,509
- It just so happens,

2073
02:14:34,542 --> 02:14:38,913
I was contemplating
creating 12 powerful demons.

2074
02:14:38,947 --> 02:14:41,081
I wonder if you'll be
able to withstand

2075
02:14:41,114 --> 02:14:43,751
the amount of blood
I'm about to give you.

2076
02:14:45,753 --> 02:14:47,087
- You...

2077
02:14:49,456 --> 02:14:50,925
do...

2078
02:14:50,959 --> 02:14:52,860
whatever you want.

2079
02:14:53,861 --> 02:14:56,598
None of it... matters.

2080
02:15:11,244 --> 02:15:13,648
<i>After becoming a demon,</i>
<i>I lost my memories</i>

2081
02:15:13,681 --> 02:15:18,052
<i>and once again</i>
<i>started to seek out power.</i>

2082
02:15:33,067 --> 02:15:34,167
It's not enough!

2083
02:15:34,201 --> 02:15:36,738
It will never be enough!

2084
02:15:40,474 --> 02:15:43,811
<i>Even though I had</i>
<i>nothing left to my name,</i>

2085
02:15:43,845 --> 02:15:47,347
<i>even though I had nothing</i>
<i>worth fighting for anymore...</i>

2086
02:15:49,550 --> 02:15:52,620
<i>even though my family</i>
<i>was no longer around,</i>

2087
02:15:52,654 --> 02:15:56,591
<i>and I had no desire to live</i>
<i>in a world without them...</i>

2088
02:15:59,259 --> 02:16:00,427
<i>for over a century,</i>

2089
02:16:00,460 --> 02:16:02,229
<i>I committed</i>
<i>senseless massacres</i>

2090
02:16:02,262 --> 02:16:04,297
<i>over and over again.</i>

2091
02:16:05,365 --> 02:16:08,736
<i>Thinking about it now,</i>
<i>it's pathetic,</i>

2092
02:16:08,770 --> 02:16:10,270
<i>it's absurd.</i>

2093
02:16:11,204 --> 02:16:13,775
<i>All those deaths</i>
<i>were meaningless.</i>

2094
02:16:19,147 --> 02:16:20,982
<i>Even if I died now,</i>

2095
02:16:21,015 --> 02:16:24,852
<i>I couldn't go where the other</i>
<i>three were waiting for me.</i>

2096
02:16:26,219 --> 02:16:29,057
<i>Damn you for dredging up</i>
<i>these memories.</i>

2097
02:16:29,090 --> 02:16:30,925
<i>You bastard!</i>

2098
02:16:33,027 --> 02:16:34,696
<i>Pathetic humans.</i>

2099
02:16:34,729 --> 02:16:38,231
<i>Clinging on to life</i>
<i>with their fragile bodies.</i>

2100
02:16:39,133 --> 02:16:43,171
<i>Even their strongest</i>
<i>eventually die</i>

2101
02:16:43,203 --> 02:16:45,505
<i>and vanish into thin air.</i>

2102
02:16:48,910 --> 02:16:50,778
<i>He's still not dead?!</i>

2103
02:16:50,812 --> 02:16:53,114
<i>You can't be serious.</i>

2104
02:16:53,147 --> 02:16:56,784
<i>I have to kill him</i>
<i>before it's too late.</i>

2105
02:16:56,818 --> 02:16:59,352
<i>If we let him regenerate,</i>

2106
02:16:59,386 --> 02:17:01,522
<i>there'll be no stopping him!</i>

2107
02:17:07,494 --> 02:17:08,830
I must have passed out.

2108
02:17:08,863 --> 02:17:10,430
What's going on?

2109
02:17:12,066 --> 02:17:13,433
His head's back!

2110
02:17:13,467 --> 02:17:15,970
But how is that
even possible?!

2111
02:17:17,138 --> 02:17:19,974
I decapitated him!

2112
02:17:25,378 --> 02:17:28,281
- Destructive Death:
Annihilation Type.

2113
02:17:29,083 --> 02:17:31,018
- Stop it!

2114
02:17:31,052 --> 02:17:33,788
<i>- Seriously?</i>
<i>He can still move?</i>

2115
02:17:33,821 --> 02:17:36,624
<i>- Mr. Giyu and I</i>
<i>are going to win!</i>

2116
02:17:36,657 --> 02:17:40,661
<i>Akaza, I'll behead you</i>
<i>as many times as it takes!</i>

2117
02:17:43,396 --> 02:17:44,899
<i>My sword...</i>

2118
02:17:46,299 --> 02:17:48,736
<i>- It slipped</i>
<i>out of his hands.</i>

2119
02:17:49,804 --> 02:17:51,471
<i>- I lost my grip.</i>

2120
02:18:00,280 --> 02:18:02,216
<i>- All right, young man,</i>

2121
02:18:02,250 --> 02:18:04,886
<i>time to be reborn.</i>

2122
02:18:06,254 --> 02:18:09,724
<i>- I despise those</i>
<i>who are weak.</i>

2123
02:18:11,759 --> 02:18:16,130
<i>Weaklings, instead of</i>
<i>fighting you fair and square,</i>

2124
02:18:16,164 --> 02:18:19,432
<i>they always resort</i>
<i>to cheap tricks.</i>

2125
02:18:19,466 --> 02:18:21,536
<i>They're atrocious.</i>

2126
02:18:21,569 --> 02:18:23,671
<i>They have no patience,</i>

2127
02:18:23,704 --> 02:18:25,907
<i>and they quickly</i>
<i>grow desperate.</i>

2128
02:18:25,940 --> 02:18:28,709
<i>Just thinking about them</i>
<i>makes me sick.</i>

2129
02:18:30,745 --> 02:18:34,148
<i>I killed people with</i>
<i>my "fists of protection."</i>

2130
02:18:34,182 --> 02:18:39,352
<i>I desecrated my master's</i>
<i>beloved Soryu with blood,</i>

2131
02:18:39,386 --> 02:18:43,024
<i>and I couldn't follow</i>
<i>my father's last wishes.</i>

2132
02:18:45,693 --> 02:18:47,295
<i>That's right.</i>

2133
02:18:47,327 --> 02:18:50,031
<i>The one I wanted to kill...</i>

2134
02:18:55,603 --> 02:18:56,838
<i>- This couldn't be worse!</i>

2135
02:18:56,871 --> 02:18:58,105
<i>I dropped my sword!</i>

2136
02:19:00,241 --> 02:19:02,342
<i>My fists</i>
<i>aren't enough to stop him!</i>

2137
02:19:12,987 --> 02:19:14,121
<i>He's about to unleash</i>

2138
02:19:14,155 --> 02:19:17,490
<i>the Annihilation Type move</i>
<i>he used on Mr. Rengoku!</i>

2139
02:19:20,460 --> 02:19:22,330
<i>I've got to take</i>
<i>Mr. Giyu with me</i>

2140
02:19:22,362 --> 02:19:23,831
<i>out of the attack range!</i>

2141
02:19:28,035 --> 02:19:30,671
Leave me!
Save yourself!

2142
02:19:36,210 --> 02:19:38,145
<i>I've got to kill...</i>

2143
02:19:40,548 --> 02:19:42,116
<i>that weakling...</i>

2144
02:19:43,117 --> 02:19:44,986
<i>I've come to hate!</i>

2145
02:20:27,595 --> 02:20:30,430
<i>He just attacked himself.</i>

2146
02:20:32,499 --> 02:20:35,435
<i>Why would he</i>
<i>turn on himself like that?</i>

2147
02:20:36,270 --> 02:20:37,638
<i>Why?</i>

2148
02:20:41,042 --> 02:20:42,143
<i>For a second,</i>

2149
02:20:42,176 --> 02:20:45,513
<i>I could pick up the scent</i>
<i>of gratitude from him.</i>

2150
02:20:46,781 --> 02:20:48,916
<i>Why did he smile at me?</i>

2151
02:20:52,653 --> 02:20:54,188
<i>That's enough.</i>

2152
02:20:54,221 --> 02:20:55,455
<i>Stop it!</i>

2153
02:20:55,488 --> 02:20:57,625
<i>I don't want to regenerate!</i>

2154
02:20:57,658 --> 02:21:00,227
<i>Don't you get it?</i>

2155
02:21:00,261 --> 02:21:02,029
<i>The battle is over!</i>

2156
02:21:03,864 --> 02:21:07,500
<i>In that decisive moment,</i>
<i>I lost.</i>

2157
02:21:07,535 --> 02:21:09,570
<i>That technique</i>
<i>he beheaded me with</i>

2158
02:21:09,603 --> 02:21:12,740
<i>was nothing short</i>
<i>of perfection.</i>

2159
02:21:12,773 --> 02:21:15,242
<i>He anticipated my movements</i>

2160
02:21:15,276 --> 02:21:17,311
<i>and pivoted</i>
<i>at the last second,</i>

2161
02:21:17,345 --> 02:21:21,048
<i>then struck me down before</i>
<i>I could unleash my attack.</i>

2162
02:21:22,216 --> 02:21:24,585
<i>It's over now.</i>

2163
02:21:24,618 --> 02:21:29,090
<i>Let me accept my fate</i>
<i>and go to hell.</i>

2164
02:21:32,360 --> 02:21:34,195
<i>- Where is he trying to go?</i>

2165
02:21:40,534 --> 02:21:43,571
<i>Huh? He stopped</i>
<i>in his tracks.</i>

2166
02:21:46,374 --> 02:21:47,842
- Dad...

2167
02:21:49,443 --> 02:21:52,013
...are you feeling better now?

2168
02:21:52,046 --> 02:21:54,615
Are you in pain anymore?

2169
02:21:54,648 --> 02:21:58,686
- No need to worry, son.
I'm fine.

2170
02:21:58,719 --> 02:22:00,554
Thank you, Hakuji.

2171
02:22:07,328 --> 02:22:09,296
- I'm sorry, Father.

2172
02:22:09,330 --> 02:22:10,531
I'm sorry.

2173
02:22:10,564 --> 02:22:13,100
I couldn't start over
like you wanted.

2174
02:22:13,134 --> 02:22:15,536
I failed you.

2175
02:22:17,571 --> 02:22:19,507
- Do not despair.

2176
02:22:19,540 --> 02:22:22,543
Regardless of who
you grow to up be,

2177
02:22:22,576 --> 02:22:26,147
you're still my son
and still my student.

2178
02:22:26,180 --> 02:22:28,816
Heaven may not accept you.

2179
02:22:29,683 --> 02:22:31,419
But you needn't worry.

2180
02:22:31,452 --> 02:22:33,320
Our hearts will be with you.

2181
02:22:34,755 --> 02:22:37,691
- Master.

2182
02:22:39,360 --> 02:22:40,928
- Didn't you say

2183
02:22:40,961 --> 02:22:43,697
you were seeking to become
stronger than anyone?

2184
02:22:43,731 --> 02:22:48,769
Don't tell me you intend to
let it end like this, Akaza.

2185
02:22:49,970 --> 02:22:53,841
<i>- That's right.</i>
<i>I can't die here.</i>

2186
02:22:53,874 --> 02:22:56,610
<i>I have to get stronger!</i>

2187
02:22:56,644 --> 02:22:59,113
<i>So what if I got beheaded?</i>

2188
02:22:59,146 --> 02:23:02,716
<i>Who cares if I win</i>
<i>or lose the fight?</i>

2189
02:23:02,750 --> 02:23:05,119
<i>If I kill those</i>
<i>who stand in my way,</i>

2190
02:23:05,152 --> 02:23:09,323
<i>then there's still hope</i>
<i>for me to get stronger!</i>

2191
02:23:11,292 --> 02:23:14,795
<i>I made a promise.</i>
<i>I'm not about to break it!</i>

2192
02:23:25,473 --> 02:23:27,007
Mr. Hakuji...

2193
02:23:27,808 --> 02:23:30,244
thank you so much.

2194
02:23:30,277 --> 02:23:32,179
You've done more than enough.

2195
02:23:36,350 --> 02:23:38,252
It's okay.

2196
02:23:38,285 --> 02:23:40,187
We're all right now.

2197
02:23:40,221 --> 02:23:41,689
- Akaza!

2198
02:23:51,899 --> 02:23:53,400
- Sorry!

2199
02:23:53,434 --> 02:23:56,637
I'm sorry
I couldn't protect you!

2200
02:23:56,670 --> 02:23:59,740
I wasn't there
when you needed me to be!

2201
02:23:59,773 --> 02:24:03,310
I couldn't keep
a single promise I made!

2202
02:24:03,344 --> 02:24:07,448
I'm sorry. Please try
to forgive me, Koyuki!

2203
02:24:07,481 --> 02:24:09,416
I'm so sorry!

2204
02:24:13,721 --> 02:24:16,090
I'm so happy
you remembered us.

2205
02:24:16,123 --> 02:24:19,727
I can't tell you
how happy that makes me.

2206
02:24:19,760 --> 02:24:23,030
And to see you now
as the man that I once knew,

2207
02:24:23,063 --> 02:24:24,633
I'm so grateful.

2208
02:24:32,907 --> 02:24:36,110
- Welcome home, Hakuji.

2209
02:24:40,481 --> 02:24:42,283
Hey, Hakuji...

2210
02:24:42,316 --> 02:24:44,485
welcome home.

2211
02:24:52,661 --> 02:24:54,795
<i>- I'm back now.</i>

2212
02:24:54,828 --> 02:24:57,097
<i>I'm finally back home.</i>

2213
02:25:00,134 --> 02:25:04,639
- Welcome back home,
my darling.

2214
02:25:34,101 --> 02:25:35,736
He vanished.

2215
02:25:46,280 --> 02:25:48,182
It's over...

2216
02:25:48,215 --> 02:25:49,684
right?

2217
02:25:53,320 --> 02:25:54,589
Gotta hurry..

2218
02:25:54,623 --> 02:25:56,890
and get to...

2219
02:25:56,924 --> 02:25:59,193
where Ms. Tamayo is.

2220
02:26:00,194 --> 02:26:01,295
And then...

2221
02:26:08,335 --> 02:26:10,371
- Tanjiro...

2222
02:26:22,950 --> 02:26:28,155
Tanjiro, Giyu
have defeated Upper Three!

2223
02:26:28,188 --> 02:26:32,326
They're unable to stay
conscious due to exhaustion!

2224
02:26:32,359 --> 02:26:33,762
They've passed out!

2225
02:26:39,500 --> 02:26:42,671
Tanjiro, Giyu...

2226
02:26:42,704 --> 02:26:45,406
have defeated Upper Three!

2227
02:26:45,439 --> 02:26:47,207
Upper Three!

2228
02:26:53,213 --> 02:26:55,382
- Akaza...

2229
02:26:55,416 --> 02:26:58,118
his presence has vanished.

2230
02:26:59,820 --> 02:27:02,557
What a baffling conclusion.

2231
02:27:05,660 --> 02:27:07,294
Akaza...

2232
02:27:08,495 --> 02:27:12,534
what happened to your
burning ambition to defeat me?

2233
02:27:14,401 --> 02:27:18,972
To think you'd abandoned
everything you stood for...

2234
02:27:20,040 --> 02:27:23,944
and turned your back
on the path to greatness.

2235
02:27:30,652 --> 02:27:33,621
Your weakness appalls me.

2236
02:27:38,760 --> 02:27:39,960
- Huh?

2237
02:27:42,463 --> 02:27:44,098
This feeling...

2238
02:27:44,131 --> 02:27:46,867
Could Lord Akaza be dead?

2239
02:27:48,035 --> 02:27:49,336
Very strange.

2240
02:27:49,370 --> 02:27:53,474
Surely my imagination
must be running wild, right?

2241
02:27:53,507 --> 02:27:58,345
It almost felt like Lord Akaza
had turned into some creature.

2242
02:28:00,615 --> 02:28:03,685
But now that he's dead,
I guess it doesn't matter!

2243
02:28:06,954 --> 02:28:10,792
Let's see. Where was I?

2244
02:28:10,825 --> 02:28:12,794
Oh, I remember!

2245
02:28:12,827 --> 02:28:16,196
I'd just asked
for your name, hadn't I?

2246
02:28:29,009 --> 02:28:33,447
- Tanjiro, Giyu
have defeated Upper Three!

2247
02:28:33,480 --> 02:28:35,449
Upper Three!

2248
02:28:35,482 --> 02:28:37,251
- Did you hear that?

2249
02:28:37,284 --> 02:28:41,523
- Yes.
Excellent work, Tomioka.

2250
02:28:41,556 --> 02:28:42,923
Excellent work, Kamado.

2251
02:28:47,995 --> 02:28:52,065
- Mr. Tomioka and Tanjiro,
they did it!

2252
02:28:52,099 --> 02:28:55,369
- Now its our turn
to follow their lead.

2253
02:28:55,402 --> 02:28:56,671
- Right!

2254
02:29:11,285 --> 02:29:13,521
Hang in there,
Agatsuma!

2255
02:29:19,126 --> 02:29:20,829
- Start flapping
those wings faster,

2256
02:29:20,862 --> 02:29:22,564
or I'm gonna
keep poking!

2257
02:29:22,597 --> 02:29:24,298
You're gonna
use those wings

2258
02:29:24,331 --> 02:29:26,500
to show me where
the strongest demon is!

2259
02:29:26,534 --> 02:29:28,202
You hear me?!

2260
02:29:28,235 --> 02:29:30,939
I'm comin' through!

2261
02:29:30,971 --> 02:29:32,372
Hyah!

2262
02:29:32,406 --> 02:29:33,507
Now we're talkin'!

2263
02:29:33,541 --> 02:29:36,578
I'm sensing a powerful
demon over here!

2264
02:29:43,150 --> 02:29:45,352
- Where is
Big Brother?

2265
02:29:55,229 --> 02:29:57,532
- Where are all
the Upper Ranks?!

2266
02:29:57,565 --> 02:29:58,566
Tell me!

2267
02:29:58,600 --> 02:29:59,968
Come on!

2268
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:02,804
I'm gonna
bury you all!

2269
02:30:10,545 --> 02:30:12,412
The passageway
leading north

2270
02:30:12,446 --> 02:30:14,549
on the 88th level
is clear.

2271
02:30:14,582 --> 02:30:16,985
No sign of Muzan.

2272
02:30:17,017 --> 02:30:18,686
The 127th levels

2273
02:30:18,720 --> 02:30:19,988
in the southeast
are clear.

2274
02:30:20,020 --> 02:30:22,256
No sign of Muzan.

2275
02:30:22,289 --> 02:30:25,527
- He's in here.
He has to be.

2276
02:30:25,560 --> 02:30:27,361
But where is he?

2277
02:30:27,394 --> 02:30:28,897
There's
no sign of Muzan

2278
02:30:28,930 --> 02:30:29,898
on any
of the levels

2279
02:30:29,931 --> 02:30:32,099
from 90 to 100,
either.

2280
02:30:34,167 --> 02:30:37,104
- Covering the entire
100th and 33rd levels.

2281
02:30:37,137 --> 02:30:38,673
No sign of Muzan.

2282
02:30:40,107 --> 02:30:42,376
- Our crows
will find you.

2283
02:30:42,409 --> 02:30:45,078
You can only hide
from us for so long.

2284
02:30:45,112 --> 02:30:48,983
We'll search every inch
of this infinity castle.

2285
02:30:49,017 --> 02:30:50,852
Even if you try
to run from us,

2286
02:30:50,885 --> 02:30:53,588
we will
hunt you down.

2287
02:31:07,769 --> 02:31:11,138
- Multilayered structures
are headed northeast.

2288
02:31:11,171 --> 02:31:13,041
- Attention, the
castle's expanding

2289
02:31:13,073 --> 02:31:14,909
in every direction!

2290
02:31:14,943 --> 02:31:16,711
Folding over
themselves...

2291
02:31:20,782 --> 02:31:22,517
And becoming one.

2292
02:31:29,122 --> 02:31:31,926
You can't
be serious.

2293
02:31:31,960 --> 02:31:33,493
No...

2294
02:31:33,528 --> 02:31:34,729
it's fine.

2295
02:31:34,762 --> 02:31:36,531
We've come
too far to lose!

2296
02:31:37,331 --> 02:31:39,499
Crows,
push forward...

2297
02:31:39,534 --> 02:31:41,134
and find Muzan!

2298
02:31:46,340 --> 02:31:49,343
Try all you
want, Demon Slayers,

2299
02:31:49,376 --> 02:31:51,311
but each one of you
will meet your end

2300
02:31:51,345 --> 02:31:53,848
before ever
reaching me.

2301
02:31:53,881 --> 02:31:55,215
You may be
feeling smug

2302
02:31:55,248 --> 02:31:57,250
after beheading one
of my Upper Ranks,

2303
02:31:57,284 --> 02:31:59,119
but unless
you can kill me,

2304
02:31:59,152 --> 02:32:01,421
your triumph
is meaningless!

2305
02:32:05,459 --> 02:32:08,228
You're all going to die
the most pointless deaths,

2306
02:32:08,261 --> 02:32:11,331
all the while
never seeing my face.

2307
02:32:11,365 --> 02:32:13,200
I can't think
of a more fitting end

2308
02:32:13,233 --> 02:32:16,104
for the Demon Slayer Corps.

2309
02:32:16,136 --> 02:32:18,338
Mark my words.
When I'm done here,

2310
02:32:18,372 --> 02:32:21,341
I'm going to make you regret
the day you were born!

2311
02:32:22,543 --> 02:32:23,578
Just wait.

2312
02:32:23,611 --> 02:32:26,614
You're each going to squirm
and writhe in pain.

2313
02:32:26,648 --> 02:32:28,716
Draw your final breaths,

2314
02:32:28,750 --> 02:32:32,120
because for every one
of you Demon Slayers,

2315
02:32:32,152 --> 02:32:35,489
there is no tomorrow!

2316
02:32:45,800 --> 02:32:47,200
- Please, Giyu...

2317
02:32:50,838 --> 02:32:52,607
don't die.

2318
02:32:59,047 --> 02:33:03,985
We can't have you
dying on us, Tanjiro.
