1. Within the next five days,Copy !req
2. Muzan will come.Copy !req
3. Use me as baitCopy !req
4. and cut off Muzan's head.Copy !req
5. What makes you think that?Copy !req
6. Just my intuition. That's all.Copy !req
7. No reason.Copy !req
8. The other children won't agreeCopy !req
9. to using me as bait.Copy !req
10. You're the only one that I can ask,Copy !req
11. Gyomei.Copy !req
12. Even if you behead him, he won't die.Copy !req
13. The only thing that can destroy MuzanCopy !req
14. is most likely sunlight.Copy !req
15. If he doesn't die
even after you've destroyed his head,Copy !req
16. you'll beCopy !req
17. in for a drawn-out battle
until the sun rises.Copy !req
18. Understood.Copy !req
19. If that is your wish, Master.Copy !req
20. Thank you.Copy !req
21. PleaseCopy !req
22. don't let any moreCopy !req
23. of my precious children die.Copy !req
24. That is my wish.Copy !req
25. So, you think
you've driven me into a corner?Copy !req
26. You're all about to go straight to Hell!Copy !req
27. You eyesore Demon Slayers!Copy !req
28. Tonight, I'm going to massacre
every one of you!Copy !req
29. You're the one who's going to Hell, Muzan!Copy !req
30. You're not getting away, no matter what!Copy !req

33. Tanjiro Kamado!Copy !req
34. I'll absolutely defeat you,Copy !req
35. Muzan Kibutsuji!Copy !req
36. What is this place?Copy !req
37. Horizontally, vertically,
it's all messed up!Copy !req
38. Was it built
with an enemy's Blood Demon Art?Copy !req
39. I don't know what's going on around me,Copy !req
40. but I know Ms. Tamayo
was holding Muzan down!Copy !req
41. ButCopy !req
42. who knows how long she can last?Copy !req
43. Calm down, Kanroji!Copy !req
44. R-Right!Copy !req
45. Stay with me!Copy !req
46. I've got to reach Muzan
as soon as possible and defeat him!Copy !req
47. As soon as possible!Copy !req
48. That's the bottom!Copy !req
49. I'll be killed if I crash into it!Copy !req
50. I'll use a move to change my trajectory
and find something to grab onto!Copy !req
51. DESTROYCopy !req
52. I'm off-balance!Copy !req
53. The pressure of the fall
is keeping me from exerting myself!Copy !req

68. Flowing Dance!Copy !req
69. Mr. Giyu's too amazing.Copy !req
70. He can tell from my slightest movement
which move I'm going to use.Copy !req
71. Then he unleashes his own in a way
that keeps us from slashing each other.Copy !req
72. He's unbelievable!Copy !req
73. What's going on in his mind right now?Copy !req
74. This must beCopy !req
75. the demon base that
Shinazugawa and Iguro mentioned.Copy !req
76. MeaningCopy !req
77. Kibutsuji must've gathered us all hereCopy !req
78. to wipe out the Hashira
and the Demon Slayer Corps.Copy !req
79. From here on out,
we'll need to be even more vigilant.Copy !req
80. Right!Copy !req

- Not at all!Copy !req
89. - Come on then.
- Right!Copy !req
90. Tokito!Copy !req
91. That's a huge horde of demons.Copy !req
92. Looks like they've been given
Lower Rank-level powers.Copy !req
93. They're being used to try
and wear us down.Copy !req
94. What about the Master?Copy !req
95. He went on ahead of us.Copy !req
96. It was a noble end.Copy !req
97. The MasterCopy !req
98. would never make a mistake
like allowing a demon to find him.Copy !req
99. Did he use himself as bait?Copy !req
100. That's right.Copy !req
101. Because he didn't have
much longer to live.Copy !req
102. Master...Copy !req
103. When I was hovering between life and deathCopy !req
104. after a demon attack,Copy !req
105. the Master was there for me
the whole time.Copy !req
106. He did the same for every Corps member
in their final moments,Copy !req
107. like a father would do.Copy !req
108. Yes. I know.Copy !req
109. Muzan not only took my brother from me
but our father as well.Copy !req
110. Damn him, that Muzan!Copy !req
111. I'm going to torture him to death!Copy !req
112. I'll show him what Hell looks like!Copy !req
113. Don't worry.Copy !req
114. We all feel the same way.Copy !req
115. KILLCopy !req
116. Master...Copy !req
117. I couldn't protect you.Copy !req
118. There's no end to you lowlifes.Copy !req
119. Show me what you've got!Copy !req
120. I'll kill every last one of you!Copy !req
121. Comin' through!Copy !req
122. More falling, huh?Copy !req
123. I ended up in this crazy place
without any warning,Copy !req
124. but there's a whole boatload of demons,
so it's the perfect placeCopy !req
125. to test the results of my training!Copy !req
126. What is this place?Copy !req
127. Is it the demon headquarters?
Where are the others?Copy !req
128. Big Brother...Copy !req
129. Please be safe too, Big Brother!Copy !req
130. I just heard a sound.Copy !req
131. He might be somewhere nearby!Copy !req
132. I'll never forgive him!Copy !req
133. There's no wayCopy !req
134. I'm ever going to forgive him!Copy !req
135. It smells like blood.Copy !req
136. What is this place?Copy !req
137. Oh, my, is someone here?Copy !req
138. UPPER TWOCopy !req
139. Wow, and you're a girl!Copy !req
140. You look so young and tasty!Copy !req
141. I'll have to thank Nakime for this later.Copy !req
142. Shinobu...Copy !req
143. Leave the Demon Slayer Corps.Copy !req
144. I know you're trying hard.Copy !req
145. You're really giving it your all,Copy !req
146. but Shinobu, you'll probably...Copy !req
147. I want you to be happy
like any normal girlCopy !req
148. and live on until you're old.Copy !req
149. DESTROYER OF DEMONSCopy !req
150. You've already done enough.Copy !req
151. No! There's no way I'm quitting!Copy !req
152. I'm going to avenge you
if it's the last thing I do!Copy !req
153. Tell me!Copy !req
154. What did the demon look like?Copy !req
155. Which bastard got you?Copy !req
156. Tell me, Big Sister! Please!Copy !req
157. I could never live a normal life
after knowing someone did this to you!Copy !req
158. Big Sister!Copy !req
159. It was a demonCopy !req
160. who looked like he had
blood poured on his head.Copy !req
161. Well, well, nice to meet you!Copy !req
162. My name is Doma.Copy !req
163. What a wonderful night.Copy !req
164. With a carefree smile on his face,Copy !req
165. he speaks in a serene, gentle manner.Copy !req
166. H-Help me...Copy !req
167. Please help me!Copy !req
168. Shh!Copy !req
169. Can't you see that I'm talking?Copy !req
170. Are you okay?Copy !req
171. Wow! You're fast!Copy !req
172. Are you a Hashira?Copy !req
173. Oh, don't worry!Copy !req
174. You can just leave her there.Copy !req
175. I'll be sure to eat her later.Copy !req
176. Upsy-daisy.Copy !req
177. The weaponsCopy !req
178. that demon wielded
were a pair of sharp fans.Copy !req
179. I'm the founder
of the Eternal Paradise Faith.Copy !req
180. My job is to attain bliss
with all of my worshippers.Copy !req
181. So, I'll be sure
to pick that girl clean too.Copy !req
182. This guy is the demon
who killed my big sister.Copy !req
183. Everyone's bliss?Copy !req
184. How deluded are you?Copy !req
185. This girl was unwilling
and crying out for help.Copy !req
186. And isn't that why I saved her?Copy !req
187. That girl's no longer suffering.Copy !req
188. She's no longer in pain
and no longer in fear.Copy !req
189. Everyone's afraid of death, you know.Copy !req
190. So, I do them a favor by eating them.Copy !req
191. They get to live on with meCopy !req
192. for all eternity!Copy !req
193. To save my followers,
I take in their desires,Copy !req
194. their blood and their fleshCopy !req
195. and guide them to ever greater heights.Copy !req
196. You can't possibly be in your right mind.Copy !req
197. Are you sure you're mentally intact?Copy !req
198. You truly make me want to gag!Copy !req
199. What?Copy !req
200. We've only just met,
but you're being awfully hostile.Copy !req
201. Oh! I see.Copy !req
202. You poor thing.Copy !req
203. You must've gone through
something unbearable.Copy !req
204. I'd be happy to listen.Copy !req
205. Go on, let it all out.Copy !req
206. "Unbearable" barely even
scratches the surface!Copy !req
207. The one who killed my big sister was you!Copy !req
208. Doesn't this haori ring a bell?Copy !req
209. Huh?Copy !req
210. Oh!Copy !req
211. You mean that girl
who used Flower Breathing?Copy !req
212. Such a gentle, sweet child!Copy !req
213. The one I didn't get to devour
because the sun came up.Copy !req
214. I remember her.Copy !req
215. I sure wish I could've eaten her—Copy !req
216. Insect Breathing,Copy !req
217. Dance of the Bee Sting:Copy !req
218. True Flutter!Copy !req
219. What an astounding thrust!
I couldn't stop it with my hand!Copy !req
220. Blood Demon ArtCopy !req
221. Frozen Lotus.Copy !req
222. It's freezing! The air's so cold,
it feels like it's ripping my lungs apart!Copy !req
223. Oh, you sure are a quick one!Copy !req
224. But too bad for you.Copy !req
225. Thrusts can't kill a demon.Copy !req
226. It's the neck.Copy !req
227. You need to chop off the head.Copy !req
228. DESTROYCopy !req
229. I may not be able to kill you
with my thrusts,Copy !req
230. but what about poison?Copy !req
231. I'll find out now whether this poison
will work on an Upper Rank.Copy !req
232. Big Sister, please!Copy !req
233. Big Sister!Copy !req
234. This isCopy !req
235. stronger than the poison you used
on Rui's mountain, isn't it?Copy !req
236. So, they did
exchange information after all.Copy !req
237. Poison is a double-edged sword.Copy !req
238. You have been changing
the concoction for each demon!Copy !req
239. That's what he told me!Copy !req
240. What's this?Copy !req
241. Looks like I've neutralized your poison!Copy !req
242. Sorry about that!Copy !req
243. Even though you used it just for me!Copy !req
244. That sword...Copy !req
245. The sound it makes
when you sheathe it is unique.Copy !req
246. Is that where you change up the poison?Copy !req
247. Wow, this is fun!Copy !req
248. Getting poisoned is so amusing!Copy !req
249. It's almost addictive!Copy !req
250. Do you think your next blend will work?Copy !req
251. Let's give it a try!Copy !req
252. Very well.Copy !req
253. Fine by me. After all...Copy !req
254. I'd already anticipated
that this would happen.Copy !req
255. Are you done mixing your new poison?Copy !req
256. I'm ready whenever you are!Copy !req
257. I know I told you to give it a try...Copy !req
258. but repeating the same strike
feels monotonous.Copy !req
259. What's this? You're slower than before.Copy !req
260. At this rate...Copy !req
261. Insect Breathing, Dance of the Horsefly:Copy !req
262. Enticing Slash!Copy !req
263. Whoops, you got a piece of me there, huh?Copy !req
264. You must have redirected
my counterattacks.Copy !req
265. That's amazing! I'm truly impressed!Copy !req
266. It's the touching fruits of your labor!Copy !req
267. You can keep piling it on!Copy !req
268. Why don't you launch your next attack
before I neutralize the poison?Copy !req
269. I can't help
wanting to cheer on people who try hard!Copy !req
270. Yes! That's the spirit!Copy !req
271. Ever since I was a child,
I was kindhearted and smart.Copy !req
272. I never failed to help the pitiful,
and I made them happy.Copy !req
273. Because that was my duty.Copy !req
274. There are rainbows in this child's eyes.Copy !req
275. This pale gray hair
is proof of his innocence.Copy !req
276. This child is special.Copy !req
277. I'm sure that he can hear
the voices of the gods.Copy !req
278. My parents were hopelessly obtuse.Copy !req
279. Not that they could've founded
a stupid religionCopy !req
280. like the Eternal Paradise Faith otherwise.Copy !req
281. I felt sorry for them,
so I always played along.Copy !req
282. I never once heard the voices of the gods.Copy !req
283. At first, I didn't know how to deal
with the hordes of peopleCopy !req
284. who worshipped me and prayed to me.Copy !req
285. Seeing these grown-ups
come crying to a child like meCopy !req
286. saying, "I'm suffering,
I'm in pain, what should I do?"Copy !req
287. made me worry
whether their heads were okay.Copy !req
288. After nearly putting me to sleep
with their personal stories,Copy !req
289. they would bow down to me,
asking me to guide them to Paradise.Copy !req
290. I cried.Copy !req
291. You poor things.Copy !req
292. Paradise doesn't even exist.Copy !req
293. It's just a fairy tale
concocted by deluded humans.Copy !req
294. There are no gods nor buddhas.Copy !req
295. These people had lived for decades,
yet they still couldn't grasp that.Copy !req
296. When you die, you just become nothing.Copy !req
297. You just stop feeling anything.Copy !req
298. Your heart stops, your brain stops,
you rot and return to the earth.Copy !req
299. That's what happens
to every living creature.Copy !req
300. You're incapable of accepting
such a simple fact.Copy !req
301. It must be hard to be so stupid.Copy !req
302. I want to bring happiness
to these pitiful people.Copy !req
303. I want to save them!Copy !req
304. That's why I was born into this world.Copy !req
305. Hmm...Copy !req
306. That's the fifth round.Copy !req
307. Another dud, huh?Copy !req
308. It's not working.Copy !req
309. It's getting less and less effective,
isn't it?Copy !req
310. How many more times
can you mix up that poison?Copy !req
311. Oh, are you out of breath now?Copy !req
312. Look at all that sweat! Are you all right?Copy !req
313. So this is the power of an Upper Rank!Copy !req
314. The poison's not working on him at all!Copy !req
315. The speed at which
he becomes resistant is insane!Copy !req
316. Well, the air sacs in your lungs
are going through necrosis.Copy !req
317. Painful, isn't it?Copy !req
318. You did breathe in
my Blood Demon Art after all.Copy !req
319. He turns his frozen blood into mist
and uses his fans to disperse it.Copy !req
320. The very act of breathing itself
becomes dangerous.Copy !req
321. I'll useCopy !req
322. consecutive strikes to inject him
with a massive dose of poison!Copy !req
323. Insect Breathing,Copy !req
324. Dance of the Dragonfly:...Copy !req
325. Compound Eye Hexagon!Copy !req
326. My goodness, you're incredibly fast!Copy !req
327. You might be the fastest Hashira
I've ever met!Copy !req
328. I've been slashed!Copy !req
329. If only you could've beheaded me
instead of using poison,Copy !req
330. with your speed, you might've beaten me.Copy !req
331. Well, maybe not,Copy !req
332. since you're so small!Copy !req
333. I wonder why my hands are so small.Copy !req
334. Why didn't I ever grow taller?Copy !req
335. If I were just a little taller,Copy !req
336. could I have beheaded a demon
and defeated it?Copy !req
337. Having longer arms and legs means
you have that much more muscle.Copy !req
338. That would give me an advantage.Copy !req
339. My big sister was petite,Copy !req
340. but she was taller than me.Copy !req
341. How I envy Mr. Himejima!Copy !req
342. Who wouldn't be relieved
to see him come to their rescue?Copy !req
343. I know what my sister was trying to sayCopy !req
344. that day.Copy !req
345. Hey, is it over?Copy !req
346. Too bad, I guess.Copy !req
347. "Shinobu, you'll probably lose
to that demon."Copy !req
348. That's what you started to say,
but you stopped yourself, right?Copy !req
349. Pull yourself together.Copy !req
350. I won't allow you to shed any tears.Copy !req
351. Big Sister...Copy !req
352. Stand up.Copy !req
353. I can't! I've lost so much blood!Copy !req
354. My left lung's punctured,
and I can't even breathe!Copy !req
355. I don't want to hear it.Copy !req
356. Stand up, Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho!Copy !req
357. If you've made up your mind
to defeat him, then defeat him!Copy !req
358. If you've made up
your mind to win, then win!Copy !req
359. Win, whatever it takes.Copy !req
360. Isn't that what you promised
both me and Kanao?Copy !req
361. Kanao...Copy !req
362. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
363. I didn't finish you off,
so it must really hurt, right?Copy !req
364. I know you can do this, Shinobu.Copy !req
365. Give it your all.Copy !req
366. What, you're standing up?Copy !req
367. You're really going to stand up? Huh?Copy !req
368. Are you really human?Copy !req
369. I slashed your collarbone,
your lung and your ribs.Copy !req
370. At your size,Copy !req
371. the amount of blood you've lost
should've killed you by now.Copy !req
372. Oh, no, see?Copy !req
373. The blood is gurgling in your lungs!Copy !req
374. The pain must be unimaginable!Copy !req
375. I'll slice off your head right now,
so don't push yourself!Copy !req
376. You're past saving now.Copy !req
377. Go ahead and let go.Copy !req
378. I should go for his Achilles' heel,
his neck!Copy !req
379. If I slam the poison into his neck,
I'll have a chance!Copy !req
380. Insect Breathing,Copy !req
381. Dance of the Centipede:...Copy !req
382. Hmm?Copy !req
383. Hundred-Legged Zigzag!Copy !req
384. She's twisting and turning
in all directions.Copy !req
385. The impact of her steps
is enough to destroy the bridge.Copy !req
386. So fast! I can't predict her attacks!Copy !req
387. So low!Copy !req
388. The road to bliss...Copy !req
389. I always believedCopy !req
390. that it continued to stretch on and onCopy !req
391. far into the distance.Copy !req
392. Not until it was destroyedCopy !req
393. did I realize that my bliss
sat on top of a sliver of glass.Copy !req
394. And just as we'd been rescued,Copy !req
395. I wanted to become stronger and protectCopy !req
396. someone else's unscathed happiness.Copy !req
397. That's whatCopy !req
398. we'd promised each other.Copy !req
399. "Let's defeat the demons."Copy !req
400. "As many as we can."Copy !req
401. "Together."Copy !req
402. So that others wouldn't haveCopy !req
403. to go through what we did!Copy !req
404. Even if I'm weak...Copy !req
405. Even if I was incapable
of beheading a demon...Copy !req
406. By defeating a single demon,
I could save dozens!Copy !req
407. And if the demon I brought down
was an Upper Rank,Copy !req
408. I could save hundreds of people!Copy !req
409. It's not a matter
of whether I can do it or not.Copy !req
410. It's something that I have to do.Copy !req
411. Are you angry?Copy !req
412. Yes, I am angry, Tanjiro.Copy !req
413. I'm alwaysCopy !req
414. constantly angry.Copy !req
415. My parents were killed.Copy !req
416. My big sister was killed.Copy !req
417. My Tsuguko other than Kanao
were all killed.Copy !req
418. Not to mention those girls.Copy !req
419. If their loved onesCopy !req
420. hadn't been murdered by demons,Copy !req
421. they'd still be living happily
with their families!Copy !req
422. You make me so livid!Copy !req
423. Don't you mess with me, idiot!Copy !req
424. Why isn't the poison working on you,
dammit?Copy !req
425. You bastard!Copy !req
426. So commendable!Copy !req
427. You did your best!Copy !req
428. My heart is moved!Copy !req
429. To see such a weak girl getting this far...Copy !req
430. How did you last this long
as a Demon SlayerCopy !req
431. with less talent than your big sister?Copy !req
432. It's a miracle
that you survived until now!Copy !req
433. So foolish. You'll try to see things
through to the end despite the futility!Copy !req
434. That's what makes humans so fragile!Copy !req
435. And it's what makes humans so magnificent!Copy !req
436. You're worthy of being devoured by me!Copy !req
437. Let's share eternity, you and me!Copy !req
438. Any last words?Copy !req
439. I'll be happy to listen.Copy !req
440. Go to hell!Copy !req
441. KILLCopy !req
442. Master!Copy !req
443. I bet he's here too.Copy !req
444. Since I'm sureCopy !req
445. he also needs to face me!Copy !req
446. The people you love and hold dear...Copy !req
447. We just thoughtlessly assume they'll
still be alive tomorrow and the day after.Copy !req
448. But...Copy !req
449. that's nothing but a desire.Copy !req
450. Flower Breathing...Copy !req
451. And even thoughCopy !req
452. it's not an ironclad promise...Copy !req
453. Fourth Form:Copy !req
454. Crimson Hanagoromo!Copy !req
455. Whoa, that was close!Copy !req
456. they'll always be alive and close by.Copy !req
457. For some reason,Copy !req
458. people can't help believing that.Copy !req
459. Would you mind not attacking me
while I'm absorbing her?Copy !req
460. What's this?Copy !req
461. You're not taking the bait?Copy !req
462. Is it because of what she motioned earlier
with her fingers?Copy !req
463. Did she tell you what my powers are?Copy !req
464. In just a split second? Amazing!Copy !req
465. Even though it's futile.Copy !req
466. She's such a hard worker!Copy !req
467. But really, I have to sayCopy !req
468. what a wonderful night this is.Copy !req
469. The feasts just keep coming
one after another.Copy !req
470. Yes, truly...Copy !req
471. what a wonderful night.Copy !req
472. You're here, aren't you?Copy !req
473. Show yourself.Copy !req
474. I know you're there.Copy !req
475. That's no way to talk, you know.Copy !req
476. Not to your senior.Copy !req
477. You look a little better than before,Copy !req
478. but you're still
the same scrawny guy as ever.Copy !req
479. UPPER SIXCopy !req
480. Long time no see, Zenitsu.Copy !req
481. Kaigaku... Now that you're a demon,Copy !req
482. I no longer consider you my senior!Copy !req
483. Water Breathing,Copy !req
484. Ninth Form:Copy !req
485. Splashing Water Flow, Turbulent!Copy !req
486. Stay focused!Copy !req
487. Right!Copy !req
488. This place is crazy!Copy !req
489. The buildings themselves are throbbing
like they're pulsing!Copy !req
490. It's like it's alive!Copy !req
491. It's trying to tear Mr. Giyu and me apart!Copy !req
492. We have to reconvene
with as many other Corps members as we canCopy !req
493. and head to where Muzan is!Copy !req
494. Deceased!Copy !req
495. Shinobu Kocho has died!Copy !req
496. After battling Upper Two,Copy !req
497. she's now deceased!Copy !req
498. That crow...Copy !req
499. What's that piece of paper on its neck?Copy !req
500. The communications are up so quickly.Copy !req
501. Shinobu is dead.Copy !req
502. You mustn't look downward.Copy !req
503. Just think about
what you're going to do next.Copy !req
504. - Right!
- Right!Copy !req
505. What's the status of the other Hashira
and Corps members?Copy !req
506. At the center of the 40th vertical
and 12th horizontal levels,Copy !req
507. the Corps members are fighting demonsCopy !req
508. numbering at least ten.Copy !req
509. And beyond that wall,
more than 30 demons are now approaching.Copy !req
510. Mr. Yushiro's eyes can see
Blood Demon Arts,Copy !req
511. the art that is not visible to human eyes.Copy !req
512. These lights of different sizesCopy !req
513. must be the potency
of each demon's Blood Demon Art.Copy !req
514. And these pulsating buildings
in constant motionCopy !req
515. are also a Blood Demon Art.Copy !req
516. And there seems to be no end to it.Copy !req
517. Such incredible power.Copy !req
518. This is a demon castle,
spreading out infinitely!Copy !req
519. And we have been lured
inside this infinite demon castle.Copy !req
520. But it's not as if we were just drawn in.Copy !req
521. My father prepared
for this day meticulously,Copy !req
522. and here we are now.Copy !req
523. KAKUSHICopy !req
524. Using Gyomei as the linchpin,Copy !req
525. he had the Hashira positioned
to arrive on the scene at any time,Copy !req
526. and in order to align
all of the individual Corps members,Copy !req
527. he gave the Kasugai Crows
their missions and waited.Copy !req
528. He enlisted the aid
of both Ms. Tamayo and Mr. Yushiro,Copy !req
529. and finally,Copy !req
530. to ensure that this plan would be perfect,Copy !req
531. my sisters also sacrificed their livesCopy !req
532. along with those of our parents.Copy !req
533. We will not lose this battle!Copy !req
534. Five massive powers are being emitted
throughout this great space,Copy !req
535. as if flaunting their own strength.Copy !req
536. These must be the Upper Ranks.Copy !req
537. One of them is at the same spot
where Shinobu was located.Copy !req
538. Upper Rank sighting!Copy !req
539. Upper Six and Agatsuma
have encountered each other!Copy !req
540. An Upper Rank! Are there
any other Corps members with him?Copy !req
541. None! Agatsuma is alone!Copy !req
542. The odds aren't good for a lone Hinoe!Copy !req
543. Send him backup right away!Copy !req
544. You haven't changed, have you?Copy !req
545. You're still a runt
and as shabby-looking and weak as ever.Copy !req
546. Were you able to become a Hashira?Copy !req
547. Hey, Zenitsu!Copy !req
548. Did you ever learn to use
anything besides the First Form?Copy !req
549. Someone seems thrilled to have made itCopy !req
550. as an Upper Rank bottom-feeder
as a stopgap.Copy !req
551. Hah!Copy !req
552. You sure learned to mouth off.Copy !req
553. Why did you become a demon of all things?Copy !req
554. You would never—Copy !req
555. Why would the prospective heir
of Thunder Breathing become a demon?Copy !req
556. Huh?Copy !req
557. Because you turned into a demon,Copy !req
558. GrampsCopy !req
559. committed seppuku and died!Copy !req
560. GrampsCopy !req
561. committed seppuku alone!Copy !req
562. Without any assistance!Copy !req
563. If you don't have someone
cut off your headCopy !req
564. after you've stabbed yourself
in the belly,Copy !req
565. you die an agonizing, drawn-out death!Copy !req
566. GrampsCopy !req
567. died without even stabbing
his own throat or heart!Copy !req
568. All because a demon was produced
from a Thunder Breathing user!Copy !req
569. What do I care?Copy !req
570. So? What of it?Copy !req
571. You want me to grieve?Copy !req
572. To repent and atone for my ways?Copy !req
573. I have no use for anyone
who doesn't value me.Copy !req
574. I always,Copy !req
575. no matter what,Copy !req
576. take the side of whoever knows my worth.Copy !req
577. If the old geezer died in agony, I'm glad.Copy !req
578. After all that I did for him...Copy !req
579. Instead of making me his successor,Copy !req
580. he had the gall to make trash like you
my co-successor, that bastard!Copy !req
581. Former Hashira or not,Copy !req
582. I have no use for a senile geezer!Copy !req
583. Gramps wasn't senile by a long shot.Copy !req
584. If I'm trash, then you're scum!Copy !req
585. Between me,
who could only use the First Form,Copy !req
586. and you,
who could never use the First Form,Copy !req
587. I feel sorry for Gramps to have had
such a sorry pair of successors!Copy !req
588. Don't lump me together
with the likes of you!Copy !req
589. Thunder Breathing,Copy !req
590. Fourth Form:Copy !req
591. Distant Thunder!Copy !req
592. You're too slow, scum.Copy !req
593. He slashed me! So fast!Copy !req
594. He's...Copy !req
595. moving like a totally different person!Copy !req
596. I'm not wrong!Copy !req
597. There's no shame in kneeling down
before the overwhelmingly powerful.Copy !req
598. As long as you're alive,
you'll find a way.Copy !req
599. You don't lose until the moment you die.Copy !req
600. KILLCopy !req
601. Whether you grovel on the ground...Copy !req
602. whether you have no home
and have to drink from a puddle...Copy !req
603. whether they condemn you
for stealing money...Copy !req
604. as long as you're alive,
you can win someday.Copy !req
605. I'll win and prove it.Copy !req
606. Believing that has kept me going in life.Copy !req
607. Do you wish to gain even more powerCopy !req
608. by becoming a demon?Copy !req
609. Should that man acknowledge you,Copy !req
610. then you, too, will become one of us.Copy !req
611. UPPER ONECopy !req
612. The stronger the swordsman,Copy !req
613. the longer it takes for him
to become a demon.Copy !req
614. It took me three full days.Copy !req
615. Turning a wielder
of a Breathing Technique into a demonCopy !req
616. requires a massive amount
of the giver's blood.Copy !req
617. And though rare,Copy !req
618. some are physically incapable
of becoming demons.Copy !req
619. I wonder how you will fare.Copy !req
620. You must appreciate this blood.Copy !req
621. Do not even think
of spilling a single drop.Copy !req
622. Should you let any fall,Copy !req
623. your head and torso will be severed.Copy !req
624. That terror felt like
every cell in my bodyCopy !req
625. was screaming and sobbing.Copy !req
626. Compared to that,Copy !req
627. this little punk is nothing!Copy !req
628. Just 'cause he's stronger doesn't mean
he's on par with an Upper Rank!Copy !req
629. Zenitsu Agatsuma... This guy is trash!Copy !req
630. He was always sniveling like a baby!Copy !req
631. Not a shred of dignity or grit!Copy !req
632. Help me!Copy !req
633. There's a pitfall!Copy !req
634. I twisted my ankle!Copy !req
635. Me, co-successor with this trash?
That damn geezer was full of it!Copy !req
636. Here you go, Kaigaku.Copy !req
637. Gramps!Copy !req
638. It's a little too big, see?Copy !req
639. Come on, Gramps!Copy !req
640. - You and me, equals?
- Don't complain now!Copy !req
641. There's just no way in hell!Copy !req
642. He deserved to die!Copy !req
643. That goes for both you
and that old geezer!Copy !req
644. You both deserve to die!Copy !req
645. I could only learn the First Form,Copy !req
646. and you were able to learn
everything but the First Form.Copy !req
647. That's why GrampsCopy !req
648. wanted us both to be
his Thunder Breathing successors.Copy !req
649. But you wanted so badly to deny him that,Copy !req
650. so you became a demon, didn't you?Copy !req
651. Here it comes!Copy !req
652. Thunder Breathing,Copy !req
653. Second Form:Copy !req
654. Rice Spirit!Copy !req
655. With one breath, five flashes
in the blink of an eye!Copy !req
656. You must've devoured tons of people!Copy !req
657. You can't even tell right from wrong
anymore, can you?Copy !req
658. Oh, I know the difference
between right and wrong!Copy !req
659. What's the matter?Copy !req
660. Aren't you the old geezer's favorite?Copy !req
661. So, why don't you show me
what he graciously passed down to you?Copy !req
662. What's wrong?Copy !req
663. Don't hold back!Copy !req
664. Just hit me with it already!Copy !req
665. Thunder Breathing,Copy !req
666. First Form:Copy !req
667. Thunderclap and Flash!Copy !req
668. Such a basic move where all you do
is charge at me head-on so brainlesslyCopy !req
669. could never hit me!Copy !req
670. Thunder Breathing,Copy !req
671. Third Form:Copy !req
672. Thunder Swarm!Copy !req
673. He's attacking me in waves while spinning!Copy !req
674. What's wrong?Copy !req
675. Are you done already?Copy !req
676. Thunder Breathing,Copy !req
677. First Form:Copy !req
678. Thunderclap and Flash! Eightfold!Copy !req
679. It's not working!Copy !req
680. Thunder Breathing,Copy !req
681. Fifth Form:Copy !req
682. Heat Lightning!Copy !req
683. How does it feel?Copy !req
684. The bite
of my Blood Demon Art-enhanced sword?Copy !req
685. A deadly strike that cracks
and burns your skin and flesh!Copy !req
686. Those who correctly evaluate
and recognize my value are good!Copy !req
687. Those who write me off
and fail to acknowledge me are evil!Copy !req
688. Do you get it now?Copy !req
689. This is my power now!Copy !req
690. The power I gained
by becoming a demon, that is!Copy !req
691. A single thunderclap or eightfold or whatCopy !req
692. making you his successor
when that's all you can doCopy !req
693. was a total misjudgment!Copy !req
694. So, that's the answer
you've come up with, huh?Copy !req
695. I knew it.Copy !req
696. I always knew it, but still...Copy !req
697. Zenitsu!Copy !req
698. This is the end!Copy !req
699. Thunder Breathing,Copy !req
700. Sixth Form:Copy !req
701. Rumble and Flash!Copy !req
702. That strike will keep cracking
throughout your body!Copy !req
703. Burn it into your mind and body!Copy !req
704. My power!Copy !req
705. Now that I'm a demon,
I've surpassed Thunder Breathing!Copy !req
706. I'm special! I'm not like you!Copy !req
707. I'm not like any of you!Copy !req
708. It looks like the old geezer
struck out with you after all!Copy !req
709. Be more like Kaigaku!Copy !req
710. Try to be like your senior!Copy !req
711. Isn't the First Form the entire basis
of Thunder Breathing?Copy !req
712. If the First Form's
the only one he can't use,Copy !req
713. doesn't that mean... Y'know?Copy !req
714. He may have mastered other forms,
but he's no big deal.Copy !req
715. But even still,
that Kaigaku guy's so arrogant.Copy !req
716. No way can he become a Hashira.Copy !req
717. He'll probably croak right away anyway.Copy !req
718. Wh-What do you think you're doing?Copy !req
719. I hear you punched
a higher-ranking Corps member.Copy !req
720. Don't go around making trouble, you trash!Copy !req
721. It's shameful that
someone like you exists!Copy !req
722. I was fully aware that Kaigaku hated me,Copy !req
723. and I hated him right back.Copy !req
724. But I respected you.Copy !req
725. I truly did.Copy !req
726. You were such a hard worker,
and you kept grinding away.Copy !req
727. I always looked up to you as an example.Copy !req
728. KILLCopy !req
729. You were special, you know.Copy !req
730. For both Gramps and me,
you were special and important!Copy !req
731. But I guess that wasn't enough for you.Copy !req
732. No matter what,Copy !req
733. I always heard a sound
of discontent from you.Copy !req
734. There's a hole in the box
where you store the joy in your heart...Copy !req
735. and the joy just keeps leaking out.Copy !req
736. You have to spot the hole and close it,
or the box will never be filled.Copy !req
737. Gramps...Copy !req
738. I'm sorry.Copy !req
739. We ended upCopy !req
740. taking different paths!Copy !req
741. He still has some strength left?Copy !req
742. Wh-What the hell?Copy !req
743. Sorry...Copy !req
744. Big Brother.Copy !req
745. Thunder Breathing,Copy !req
746. Seventh Form:Copy !req
747. God of Fire Thunder!Copy !req
748. I...Copy !req
749. I couldn't see that coming!Copy !req
750. What the hell was that move?Copy !req
751. It was too fast!Copy !req
752. I've never seen that technique!Copy !req
753. What the hell did you just use?Copy !req
754. Dammit! Dammit!Copy !req
755. I knew that old fart always favored you!Copy !req
756. He taught only you that technique
and never showed it to me!Copy !req
757. You're wrong!Copy !req
758. Gramps wasn't that kind of man!Copy !req
759. It's my own technique.Copy !req
760. My own exclusive technique
that I came up with myself.Copy !req
761. I was hoping to one dayCopy !req
762. use this techniqueCopy !req
763. to battle by your side.Copy !req
764. A seventh technique?Copy !req
765. Thunder Breathing only has six techniques,
and he created a seventh?Copy !req
766. Him?Copy !req
767. A guy who can only use the First Form?Copy !req
768. That trash who's inferior to me?Copy !req
769. I can't take it! I just can't take it!Copy !req
770. There's no way I can accept that as fact!Copy !req
771. To a guy like that... Me, losing to him?Copy !req
772. I think I'm losing my mind!Copy !req
773. No...Copy !req
774. Wait, it's not a loss!Copy !req
775. That trash is going to fall
with me and die too!Copy !req
776. His strength's depleted by now for sure!Copy !req
777. He's going to die along with me!Copy !req
778. Those who don't give to others
end up never receiving from others.Copy !req
779. Guys who do nothing but want
are the same as those who possess nothing,Copy !req
780. because they can't produce
anything themselves.Copy !req
781. Dying alone is pathetic, huh?Copy !req
782. Where am I?Copy !req
783. Gramps!Copy !req
784. Sorry! I couldn't get along with Kaigaku!Copy !req
785. I did write him letters and stuff!Copy !req
786. But he never replied!Copy !req
787. If it weren't for me,
Kaigaku might not have ended up like that!Copy !req
788. I'm really sorry! Forgive me!Copy !req
789. I'm sorry I couldn't pay you back
for all that you did for me!Copy !req
790. I wanted to become a Hashira
while you were alive, but...Copy !req
791. Sorry!Copy !req
792. Sorry, Gramps!Copy !req
793. Do you hate me now?Copy !req
794. Please! Say something, Gramps!Copy !req
795. Dammit!Copy !req
796. What's this grabbing onto my legs?Copy !req
797. Gramps! I... I...Copy !req
798. Dammit!Copy !req
799. Zenitsu...Copy !req
800. you're my pride and joy.Copy !req
801. Well?Copy !req
802. Can you save him?Copy !req
803. He's my acquaintance!Copy !req
804. Find a way to save him!Copy !req
805. I'm really counting on you!Copy !req
806. Quiet down. Shut up, Murata.Copy !req
807. A lowly scrub like youCopy !req
808. had better keep watch,
so we don't get attacked.Copy !req
809. Hey, you! What rank are you?Copy !req
810. If you're below me,
there'll be hell to pay!Copy !req
811. I'm a demon,
so what do I care about ranks?Copy !req
812. I'm using a Blood Demon styptic,Copy !req
813. but if these cracks on his face
keep spreading,Copy !req
814. they're going to rip all the way
to his eyeballs.Copy !req
815. Can you hear me?Copy !req
816. Don't say scary things
to someone so vulnerable!Copy !req
817. I'm also using a hemostatic,
but the bleeding won't stop.Copy !req
818. Stop it!Copy !req
819. I swear you'll be fine!
You'll be saved for sure!Copy !req
820. You're not gonna die!Copy !req
821. You can do it, Agatsuma!Copy !req
822. Hang in there! Hang in there!Copy !req
823. The Upper Rank that you foughtCopy !req
824. still hadn't mastered
his techniques and abilities.Copy !req
825. That was a lucky break for you.Copy !req
826. If you'd fought him a year from now,
you probably would've died instantly.Copy !req
827. Stop saying stuff
that will crush his soul!Copy !req
828. I-I didn't say anything wrong!Copy !req
829. Wh-What?Copy !req
830. You yelled, so now the demons are coming.Copy !req
831. You make a good target.Copy !req
832. Hey, was your name Yushiro?Copy !req
833. I'm leaving Agatsuma in your hands!Copy !req
834. Come on!Copy !req
835. Please defeat it
as fast as you can, Senpai.Copy !req
836. I'm going to give you
such an earful later!Copy !req
837. Dammit!Copy !req
838. Water Breathing, Second Form:Copy !req
839. Water Wheel!Copy !req
840. We're going to head them off,
so go from that direction!Copy !req
841. Not good! They're going to run into one!Copy !req
842. We're not running into any Upper Ranks.Copy !req
843. Are we still far away from where Muzan is?Copy !req
844. Are the others still alive?Copy !req
845. Ms. Shinobu...Copy !req
846. We'll win for sure!Copy !req
847. Everyone will! We all will!Copy !req
848. What's this shaking?Copy !req
849. M-Mr. Giyu!Copy !req
850. Stop! Calm down.Copy !req
851. Is someone else fighting?Copy !req
852. Is someone else about to die?Copy !req
853. No, that's not it.Copy !req
854. Is it coming this way?Copy !req
855. Th-This scent...Copy !req
856. Above you! Tanjiro, fall back!Copy !req
857. Long time no see.Copy !req
858. I'm surprised you're still alive.Copy !req
859. A weakling like you...Copy !req
860. UPPER THREECopy !req
861. Tanjiro Kamado!Copy !req
862. Akaza!Copy !req
863. Most likely,Copy !req
864. he's decomposing the drug to turn himCopy !req
865. back into a human
inside this flesh cocoon.Copy !req
866. Muzan Kibutsuji...Copy !req
867. No matter what,
you absolutely must be destroyed!Copy !req
868. And yet... no matter what I do...Copy !req
869. Eventually,
I'll be absorbed into him as well!Copy !req
870. Please... somebody... get here soon!Copy !req
871. Please!Copy !req
872. According to Father, should Muzan die,
the other demons will also die.Copy !req
873. In that case,
Muzan Kibutsuji is still alive.Copy !req
874. Ms. Tamayo must be suppressing
Muzan's powers.Copy !req
875. It's because she's suppressing them that
he hasn't reacted to Mr. Yushiro's eyes.Copy !req
876. Before Muzan's powers are revived,Copy !req
877. we must do
whatever it takes to defeat him.Copy !req
878. Still...Copy !req
879. inside this infinite castle,Copy !req
880. can we really find Muzan Kibutsuji?Copy !req
881. No need to panic.Copy !req
882. You're doing a good job.Copy !req
883. He will show himself without fail.Copy !req
884. Didn't he come to me as well?Copy !req
885. That's the kind of man Muzan Kibutsuji is.Copy !req
886. Understood... Father.Copy !req
887. I will fulfill my duty, no matter what!Copy !req
888. We must find him before the Corps members'
strength is depletedCopy !req
889. and settle this once and for all!Copy !req
890. Shield them!Copy !req
891. We're going to stand our ground
and minimize the damage to the Hashira!Copy !req
892. Go! Please go on ahead!Copy !req
893. Stone Hashira, please hurry!Copy !req
894. You guys...Copy !req
895. Whatever you do, please defeat Kibutsuji!Copy !req
896. Please!Copy !req
897. All right.Copy !req
898. I'm counting on you all to deal with this!Copy !req
899. Tokito!Copy !req
900. Now's the time to prove
what we learned from Hashira Training!Copy !req
901. Right!Copy !req
902. Thanks, all of you.Copy !req
903. Father, everyone's giving it their all.Copy !req
904. MULTIPLE INJURED PEOPLE CONFIRMEDCopy !req
905. No crying.Copy !req
906. Don't stop what you're doing,
no matter what.Copy !req
907. We're not going down in defeat.Copy !req
908. Right.Copy !req
909. Lord Kiriya is so commendable.Copy !req
910. He's still in anguish
over the loss of his father,Copy !req
911. yet he's assumed command
of the Demon Slayer CorpsCopy !req
912. and is working to fulfill his duty.Copy !req
913. Am I right, Mr. Rengoku?Copy !req
914. I agree.Copy !req
915. Look how these children of
such a tender age are rallying themselves.Copy !req
916. Like Kyojuro...Copy !req
917. in order to live up to the Rengoku name,Copy !req
918. I will protect them with my life.Copy !req
919. She looks as if she's suffering.Copy !req
920. The demon named Tamayo, who was working
with the Master, sent over this drug.Copy !req
921. I've administered it as she instructed,Copy !req
922. but can Nezuko actually turn back
into a human?Copy !req
923. If Nezuko does become human again,
Muzan's scheme will collapse.Copy !req
924. The dream of the perfect body,Copy !req
925. for which he's searched
for more than a thousand years,Copy !req
926. and his quest to conquer the sun
will be set back to square one.Copy !req
927. Throughout all these long years,Copy !req
928. Nezuko is the only demon
not to succumb to sunlight.Copy !req
929. The words "the final stage"
keep crossing my mind.Copy !req
930. And each time, I tremble at my core,
and my heart pounds.Copy !req
931. This long battle may finally end tonight.Copy !req
932. I never dreamed
that I'd be alive to see it myself.Copy !req
933. Tanjiro...Copy !req
934. Now that I think of it,Copy !req
935. ever since that moment
when you brought your demon sister to me,Copy !req
936. a great cogwheel of some kind
seems to have started turning.Copy !req
937. If the by-product
of all our battles until nowCopy !req
938. can be likened to a giant machine,Copy !req
939. then inserting you and Nezuko
into it as two small cogsCopy !req
940. is what set
the stagnant situation into motion.Copy !req
941. Don't lose, Nezuko!Copy !req
942. Don't lose, Tanjiro!Copy !req
943. Whatever you do, don't lose!Copy !req
944. Hinokami Kagura,Copy !req
945. Fire Wheel!Copy !req
946. Go! Go! Go! If I can't even sever his arm,
I'll never sever his head!Copy !req
947. DESTROYCopy !req
948. I severed it!Copy !req
949. I was able to dodge his attack too!Copy !req
950. I can do it! I can fight him!Copy !req
951. I couldn't go for his head!Copy !req
952. But next time...Copy !req
953. Hinokami Kagura,Copy !req
954. Fake Rainbow!Copy !req
955. Tanjiro, you've really honed
your techniques.Copy !req
956. It wouldn't be exaggerating to say
that your skills are at Hashira level.Copy !req
957. You can hold your own like this
against Upper Three!Copy !req
958. That day, you'd lost all hope in the snowCopy !req
959. and were unable to do anything
but bow your headCopy !req
960. and sob as you begged
for your sister's life.Copy !req
961. But now you can fight...Copy !req
962. to keep from being robbed
of your life and dignity.Copy !req
963. "This boy isn't weak! Don't insult him."Copy !req
964. I admit that Kyojuro
was right in saying that.Copy !req
965. You indeed were not weak.Copy !req
966. Hats off to you!Copy !req
967. Technique Development...Copy !req
968. Well, let's get this party started.Copy !req
969. It's time to have some fun.Copy !req
970. Water Breathing,Copy !req
971. Third Form:Copy !req
972. Flowing Dance!Copy !req
973. The Water Hashira, huh?Copy !req
974. Great!Copy !req
975. It's been 50 years
since I last ran into one!Copy !req
976. Destructive Death,Copy !req
977. Disorder!Copy !req
978. Water Breathing, Eleventh Form:Copy !req
979. Dead Calm!Copy !req
980. I've never seen that move before.Copy !req
981. The Water Hashira I killed before
didn't use it!Copy !req
982. Hinokami Kagura,Copy !req
983. Raging Sun!Copy !req
984. He vanished?Copy !req
985. Behind me?Copy !req
986. Hinokami Kagura, Fake Rain—Copy !req
987. Water Breathing, Second Form:Copy !req
988. Water Wheel!Copy !req
989. Hinokami Kagura,Copy !req
990. Flame Dance!Copy !req
991. Destructive Death, Leg Type:Copy !req
992. Crown Splitter!Copy !req
993. I caught it with my sword!Copy !req
994. Did it graze me?Copy !req
995. Just a bit?Copy !req
996. And it's that powerful?Copy !req
997. That's elegant!Copy !req
998. What a polished sword skill that is!Copy !req
999. Magnificent!Copy !req
1000. Tell me your name!Copy !req
1001. What is your name?Copy !req
1002. I want to remember you!Copy !req
1003. I don't have a name to divulge to a demon!Copy !req
1004. I hate talking, so don't speak to me!Copy !req
1005. I see... So you're not into talking?Copy !req
1006. I happen to love talking!Copy !req
1007. Then I'm going to keep asking youCopy !req
1008. what your name is!Copy !req
1009. Destructive Death,Copy !req
1010. Leg Type:Copy !req
1011. Explosive Flurry!Copy !req
1012. Mr. Giyu!Copy !req
1013. I see!Copy !req
1014. So, his name is Giyu!Copy !req
1015. Hinokami Kagura...Copy !req
1016. Destructive Death,Copy !req
1017. Eight-Layered Demon Core!Copy !req
1018. Burning Bones, Summer Sun!Copy !req
1019. Good moves.Copy !req
1020. You did well to train to this level
in such a short time.Copy !req
1021. You have my praise.Copy !req
1022. Still, Kyojuro did a damn fine job.Copy !req
1023. Crumpled on the ground that night,
you were an absolute weakling.Copy !req
1024. You were nothing but a weed.Copy !req
1025. But what do you know?Copy !req
1026. Look at you now!Copy !req
1027. Such eye-opening growth!Copy !req
1028. I'm purely elated!Copy !req
1029. This makes my heart race!Copy !req
1030. I'm glad that Kyojuro died that night.Copy !req
1031. Otherwise, he might never have gotten
any stronger than he was.Copy !req
1032. After all, he did have those lame values,
wanting to remain a human.Copy !req
1033. What did you say?Copy !req
1034. You...Copy !req
1035. Don't say another word.Copy !req
1036. Don't you dare talk about Mr. Rengoku!Copy !req
1037. Why not?Copy !req
1038. These are words of praise.Copy !req
1039. For you as well. For Kyojuro too.Copy !req
1040. No, they're not!Copy !req
1041. All you're doing is insulting him!Copy !req
1042. You're just spitting on him, that's all!Copy !req
1043. On everyone!Copy !req
1044. You're mistaken, Tanjiro.Copy !req
1045. You see,
the only thing I hate is a weakling.Copy !req
1046. I would only spit on a weakling,
no one else.Copy !req
1047. That's right.Copy !req
1048. The weak make my skin crawl.Copy !req
1049. They make me vomit.Copy !req
1050. They get weeded out
due to the law of nature, nothing else.Copy !req
1051. Everything you just said is wrong!Copy !req
1052. Your being here now is proof of that!Copy !req
1053. Everyone's a weak infant at birth!Copy !req
1054. We can't stay alive
without someone else's help!Copy !req
1055. That goes for you too, Akaza.Copy !req
1056. You may not remember it,Copy !req
1057. but when you were a baby,
someone protected and helped you,Copy !req
1058. and that's why you're alive now!Copy !req
1059. The strong save and protect the weak!Copy !req
1060. And the weak become strong and save
and protect those weaker than themselves!Copy !req
1061. That's the law of nature!Copy !req
1062. Akaza, I won't tolerate
your way of thinking!Copy !req
1063. I won't let you have your way anymore!Copy !req
1064. I get it now.Copy !req
1065. I have a deep-seated aversion to this guy.Copy !req
1066. He's stronger now,
but my revulsion for him hasn't faded!Copy !req
1067. Whatever they do...
everyone starts out as a baby.Copy !req
1068. We learn by getting help
from those around us.Copy !req
1069. We are not competing against each other.Copy !req
1070. The opponent you're up against
will always be yourself.Copy !req
1071. The important thing is to become
stronger than you were yesterday.Copy !req
1072. If you can keep that up
for a decade or two,Copy !req
1073. that would be commendable.Copy !req
1074. And then,Copy !req
1075. you'll be the one helping out others.Copy !req
1076. What was that? He just swung at nothing.Copy !req
1077. Tanjiro...Copy !req
1078. You repulse me after all.Copy !req
1079. Destructive Death, Crushing Type:Copy !req
1080. Ten Thousand Leaves Flashing Willow!Copy !req
1081. So fast! Insanely fast!Copy !req
1082. No, it's not really about speed!Copy !req
1083. This sensation... this precision... this is...Copy !req
1084. Destructive Death, Leg Type:...Copy !req
1085. From below!Copy !req
1086. Flying Planet Thousand Wheels!Copy !req
1087. Even if I manage to predict
his movements and intercept the attack,Copy !req
1088. the impact is so strong that
I can't escape unscathed!Copy !req
1089. A technique of unparalleled precision!Copy !req
1090. He can pierce through any opening
with the accuracy of a compass!Copy !req
1091. It's like there are magnets pulling his
blows straight to the human body's vitals!Copy !req
1092. But how?Copy !req
1093. What is this?Copy !req
1094. What's causing them
to be drawn in like this?Copy !req
1095. Try to remember! Think!Copy !req
1096. There's got to be something!Copy !req
1097. If you can find a clue in what Akaza
has said and done until now...Copy !req
1098. Hinokami Kagura,Copy !req
1099. Solar Heat Haze!Copy !req
1100. Interesting technique!Copy !req
1101. I know I dodged it for sure,Copy !req
1102. but then it looked like
the blade extended.Copy !req
1103. I don't know what kind of swing
you put on it,Copy !req
1104. but the tip of your blade wavered
like it was in a heat haze!Copy !req
1105. I'm intrigued!Copy !req
1106. Hinokami Kagura...Copy !req
1107. Dance!Copy !req
1108. Oh, crap!Copy !req
1109. He's going to break it!Copy !req
1110. That was a good headbutt!Copy !req
1111. Let go! Let go! Let go!Copy !req
1112. No good! He's not letting go!Copy !req
1113. Mr. Giyu!Copy !req
1114. I'm furious right now,Copy !req
1115. because my back is absolutely killing me.Copy !req
1116. How dare you hurl me
all that distance, Upper Three?Copy !req
1117. Personally, I'd rather not draw
my sword if I can help it,Copy !req
1118. and I don't enjoy sparring
random passersby for amusement.Copy !req
1119. But right now...Copy !req
1120. I can feel that facing a strong opponentCopy !req
1121. who has overwhelmed me
for the first time in a whileCopy !req
1122. has sharply honed my senses
in a short span of time.Copy !req
1123. My dormant senses
have been rudely awakenedCopy !req
1124. and are dragging me forwardCopy !req
1125. to the place where the strong one stands.Copy !req
1126. I understand now
how much it expands one's potentialCopy !req
1127. to fight to the death
until the very last moment.Copy !req
1128. Mr. Giyu...Copy !req
1129. A mark appeared. His speed...Copy !req
1130. Has increased!Copy !req
1131. Water Breathing, Fourth Form:Copy !req
1132. Striking Tide!Copy !req
1133. So fast! Both of them!Copy !req
1134. But in response to Mr. Giyu's speed boost,Copy !req
1135. Akaza adapted instantly!Copy !req
1136. Is that the best you can do?Copy !req
1137. More! Strike me more!Copy !req
1138. Tenth Form:Copy !req
1139. Constant Flux!Copy !req
1140. Seventh Form:Copy !req
1141. Drop Ripple Thrust!Copy !req
1142. Destructive Death,Copy !req
1143. Disorder!Copy !req
1144. Mr. Giyu!Copy !req
1145. Akaza!Copy !req
1146. Calm down!Copy !req
1147. Think. Don't panic.Copy !req
1148. Don't relinquish your mind,
whatever you do!Copy !req
1149. Why are Akaza's attacks
as accurate as magnets?Copy !req
1150. Why does he unfailingly react to attacks
from behind and in his blind spots?Copy !req
1151. Think!Copy !req
1152. Your fighting spirit
has been honed to the hilt.Copy !req
1153. It's close to the realm of the highest.Copy !req
1154. Akaza used the words "fighting spirit"Copy !req
1155. during his battle with Mr. Rengoku.Copy !req
1156. What's "fighting spirit"?Copy !req
1157. Just like I can sense
all kinds of things by their scent,Copy !req
1158. Akaza seems to sense things
using "fighting spirit".Copy !req
1159. It tingles, you know...
where the enemy is aiming at.Copy !req
1160. So, that's how you knew
that Gyutaro was attacking you,Copy !req
1161. even though it was from behind!
That was awesome!Copy !req
1162. Well, my skin is
tougher than most people's!Copy !req
1163. Whether it's from behind or not,Copy !req
1164. if someone is looking at me,
I can tell that they're looking!Copy !req
1165. Can you show me?Copy !req
1166. Sure thing!Copy !req
1167. You're looking at my right shoulder,
aren't you?Copy !req
1168. Wow! You got it!Copy !req
1169. I can tell right away,Copy !req
1170. especially if someone
is looking at me with killing intent,Copy !req
1171. since anyone who could harm me
is bad news.Copy !req
1172. Killing intent feels like
it's stabbing me through my skin.Copy !req
1173. That's right.
Inosuke could sense the invisibleCopy !req
1174. through his honed sense of touch.Copy !req
1175. What else did we talk aboutCopy !req
1176. that day?Copy !req
1177. But the thing is,Copy !req
1178. it's hard to feel someone who doesn't have
any killing intent or hostility.Copy !req
1179. - That tiny hag!
- Huh?Copy !req
1180. The old hag from the houseCopy !req
1181. with the wisteria family crest
was a real terror.Copy !req
1182. Before I knew it...Copy !req
1183. she'd be sitting behind me
holding rice balls!Copy !req
1184. You shouldn't call her a "hag"!
She's an elderly lady!Copy !req
1185. - Elderly hag!
- Hey!Copy !req
1186. That got me thinking.Copy !req
1187. If I can sneak up without letting out
any killing intent, I won't be detected!Copy !req
1188. Then there wouldn't be anyone
I couldn't kill!Copy !req
1189. Hmm, but isn't that because she
didn't have any intention of harming you?Copy !req
1190. I think that killing a demonCopy !req
1191. without emitting
any killing intent would be impossible.Copy !req
1192. Well, you're probably right.Copy !req
1193. A half-hearted strike
without any killing intent couldn't cutCopy !req
1194. through a demon's hard neck.Copy !req
1195. It was just a casual conversation,
but I think he was onto something bigger.Copy !req
1196. What is it that Akaza supposedly senses
as fighting spirit?Copy !req
1197. Is it not killing intent?Copy !req
1198. Is it the will to fight?Copy !req
1199. The amount of time spent training?Copy !req
1200. Or maybe the quantity?Copy !req
1201. Is it like the way I can anticipate
movements through scent?Copy !req
1202. Isn't there any way that
I can disrupt Akaza's compass?Copy !req
1203. Hinokami Kagura... Dance!Copy !req
1204. Your torso is wide open,Copy !req
1205. Tanjiro!Copy !req
1206. It's coming!Copy !req
1207. Fighting spirit... magnet... compass...Copy !req
1208. perception... killing intent...Copy !req
1209. the impossible...Copy !req
1210. the realm of the highest...Copy !req
1211. I see.Copy !req
1212. That's what it is.Copy !req
1213. Father...Copy !req
1214. When you perform
the Hinokami Kagura dance,Copy !req
1215. what are you thinking?Copy !req
1216. If it's too tiring for you, Father,
I'll take your place starting next year.Copy !req
1217. I'm worried about your health.Copy !req
1218. Thank you, Tanjiro.Copy !req
1219. But I haven't found the Kagura
to be tiring for the last few years.Copy !req
1220. I don't know how to explain it,Copy !req
1221. but back when I first learned it
from your grandfather,Copy !req
1222. even though I was younger,
healthier and stronger than I am now,Copy !req
1223. I kept losing my breath,
and it was so hard.Copy !req
1224. The Kagura performed
at the start of each yearCopy !req
1225. was passed down
through the Kamado Family lineage.Copy !req
1226. It was a grueling event
that went on interminablyCopy !req
1227. from sunset to dawn the next morning.Copy !req
1228. There are 12 different styles,
which are repeated until daybreak...Copy !req
1229. hundreds, thousands,
tens of thousands of times.Copy !req
1230. I think I was simply making
too many wasteful motions.Copy !req
1231. The important thing is to breathe
correctly and to move correctly,Copy !req
1232. to produce maximum strength
with minimal action.Copy !req
1233. By doing that, your mind
gradually becomes transparent.Copy !req
1234. Transparent?Copy !req
1235. At first, you need to memorize all of
the movements and acquire a feel for it.Copy !req
1236. You open up all five sensesCopy !req
1237. and become aware of the shape
of your own body, vessel by vessel.Copy !req
1238. That was the truly strenuous part.Copy !req
1239. All you can think is that, even if you
go on struggling, you'll never succeed.Copy !req
1240. After you've learned all these things
and have absorbed them,Copy !req
1241. you remove what you don't need.Copy !req
1242. Only leave what you need for that movementCopy !req
1243. and close the rest.Copy !req
1244. Close the rest?Copy !req
1245. You know people often close their eyes
when they're trying to hear better, right?Copy !req
1246. Just like that, you pick out the things
you need the most in that moment.Copy !req
1247. Eventually,Copy !req
1248. you'll be able to open and close
the vessels and muscles in your bodyCopy !req
1249. as quickly and easily
as if you were blinking.Copy !req
1250. When that happens, a path
illuminated by a bright light will open.Copy !req
1251. When your mind becomes transparent,Copy !req
1252. you can start to see
the Transparent World.Copy !req
1253. But this is a domainCopy !req
1254. you can only reach
after you've struggled and sufferedCopy !req
1255. and have pushed yourself to your limits.Copy !req
1256. Do you think I can get there too?Copy !req
1257. If you keep working at it tirelessly, yes.Copy !req
1258. Here, all done.Copy !req
1259. Thanks!Copy !req
1260. Ten days before my father passed away,Copy !req
1261. a bear attacked and devoured people
on a neighboring mountain.Copy !req
1262. We lit bonfires around the house
and put up ropes with bells on them.Copy !req
1263. Tanjiro.Copy !req
1264. Yes?Copy !req
1265. Come with me.Copy !req
1266. I'm sorry that you're hungry,
but I won't let you come any closer.Copy !req
1267. If anyone tries to harm my family,Copy !req
1268. I will show no mercy,
no matter how many of them there are.Copy !req
1269. Disregard my warning,Copy !req
1270. and I will take your life.Copy !req
1271. The bear's head,
as thick as a human torso,Copy !req
1272. dropped to the ground
with the sound of the bells.Copy !req
1273. My eyes couldn't follow it,Copy !req
1274. but I think my father slashed it twice
in the blink of an eye.Copy !req
1275. Otherwise,Copy !req
1276. it wouldn't have been possible to chop off
its head with an axe of that breadth.Copy !req
1277. My father's scent
never wavered in the least.Copy !req
1278. Before and after beheading the bear,Copy !req
1279. he emitted no fear,
no uncertainty, no killing intent.Copy !req
1280. Did you get a good look?Copy !req
1281. Don't forget what you just saw.Copy !req
1282. My father wasn't one
to flaunt his strength for no reason.Copy !req
1283. I realized this later on.Copy !req
1284. That was him letting me watch and learn,Copy !req
1285. so that I could learn from observing
the body movements of my fatherCopy !req
1286. who could see the Transparent World...Copy !req
1287. just like Father, Grandfather
and Great-GrandfatherCopy !req
1288. must've all done before me.Copy !req
1289. You must never give up.Copy !req
1290. Just keep thinking.Copy !req
1291. You can break through any wall eventuallyCopy !req
1292. with relentless effort.Copy !req
1293. I know, Father.Copy !req
1294. That's whyCopy !req
1295. I was able to dodge
Akaza's magnetic, inescapable blow!Copy !req
1296. That was probably a lethal blow
meant to kill me once and for all.Copy !req
1297. When I was alternating moves
with Mr. Giyu,Copy !req
1298. I could take momentary breaks,Copy !req
1299. and he protected me
from the potentially mortal blows!Copy !req
1300. But in that instant,
even Mr. Giyu couldn't make it in time!Copy !req
1301. However, for some reason,
in that moment, it didn't feel impossible.Copy !req
1302. I felt it for just a split second.Copy !req
1303. I was able to enter it
for just a split second.Copy !req
1304. That world.Copy !req
1305. The Transparent World.Copy !req
1306. His body looked transparent,Copy !req
1307. the same as when Hantengu
was hiding inside his own heart.Copy !req
1308. I don't know if I was able
to see him or if I smelled him.Copy !req
1309. Dodge.Copy !req
1310. I focused on just that,
and I closed off all other senses.Copy !req
1311. My body moved faster
than it ever had before.Copy !req
1312. When I'm able to enter the Transparent
World that Father told me about,Copy !req
1313. my ability to predict movementsCopy !req
1314. and the speed of my attacks
improve dramatically!Copy !req
1315. I can see my opponent's lungs moving,Copy !req
1316. his vessels flowing and contracting
through his body.Copy !req
1317. I can even see my own muscles contracting,Copy !req
1318. faster and even clearer!Copy !req
1319. I may be able to close off
the fighting spiritCopy !req
1320. that Akaza is likely detectingCopy !req
1321. and aim for his head!Copy !req
1322. See it. See it!Copy !req
1323. It looks like you've thrown
every last Water Form you have at me.Copy !req
1324. That's enough, Giyu.Copy !req
1325. Let's end this!Copy !req
1326. I'm impressed that you held out this long!Copy !req
1327. No way!Copy !req
1328. In the middle of my downswing...Copy !req
1329. he snapped it...Copy !req
1330. from the side!Copy !req
1331. Farewell.Copy !req
1332. He slashed his arm amidst his strike
and stopped him.Copy !req
1333. The sound of his breathing is different.Copy !req
1334. His hair and eyes too!Copy !req
1335. I've been saved by Tanjiro.Copy !req
1336. Every cell in my body,
right down to the tips of my hairs,Copy !req
1337. is telling me to kill him this instant.Copy !req
1338. He's undergone some kind of change.Copy !req
1339. He's dangerous.Copy !req
1340. He's focusing on Tanjiro.Copy !req
1341. Now's my chance!Copy !req
1342. Technique Development, Final Form:Copy !req
1343. Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow!Copy !req
1344. He's boosting his attack speed again!Copy !req
1345. The force is increasing!Copy !req
1346. Can I take it with Dead Calm?Copy !req
1347. This is what Father was talking about.Copy !req
1348. This is the Transparent World!Copy !req
1349. What's this?Copy !req
1350. It's so strange.Copy !req
1351. Time is passing by so slowly.Copy !req
1352. No...Copy !req
1353. is it just that the movements look slow?Copy !req
1354. They're unavoidable.Copy !req
1355. He unleashed 100 blows
almost simultaneously.Copy !req
1356. I couldn't block them all,
even with Dead Calm.Copy !req
1357. That was impressive.Copy !req
1358. As expected, you survived.Copy !req
1359. It looks like you managed
to evade any fatal blows.Copy !req
1360. No need for you to die
like Kyojuro and Tanjiro.Copy !req
1361. You should become a demon too, Giyu!Copy !req
1362. He hasn't noticed...Copy !req
1363. that Tanjiro's behind him!Copy !req
1364. - Even you can't deny the sense of joy...
- Does he have no presence? This is...Copy !req
1365. - that comes from gaining an enemy...
- Tanjiro, slash him!Copy !req
1366. - ... with whom you fought to the death.
- If you can still move, go for it!Copy !req
1367. Before he notices you!Copy !req
1368. Take his head!Copy !req
1369. Akaza! I'm going to behead you now!Copy !req
1370. He gave himself away?Copy !req
1371. He's alive?Copy !req
1372. I never dreamed that
after that attack, he'd still...Copy !req
1373. No, it's not a big deal!Copy !req
1374. My Destructive Death, Compass Needle
can detect any attack!Copy !req
1375. The stronger
my opponent's fighting spirit is,Copy !req
1376. the greater my Compass Needle's reaction!Copy !req
1377. What is that?Copy !req
1378. What's that bizarre presence?Copy !req
1379. It's like he's turned
into some other creature!Copy !req
1380. This guy...Copy !req
1381. His fighting spirit's gone!Copy !req
1382. He has no fighting spirit!Copy !req
1383. Calm down!Copy !req
1384. He's coming!Copy !req
1385. Hinokami Kagura,Copy !req
1386. Setting Sun Transformation.Copy !req
1387. Im... possible!Copy !req
1388. In the last several hundred years,Copy !req
1389. I've never once seen a human
without any fighting spirit!Copy !req
1390. Even newborns have traces of it!Copy !req
1391. And yet, in that instant,
his fighting spirit completely vanished!Copy !req
1392. It was like I was facing
an anomaly that shouldn't be there,Copy !req
1393. and my senses were thrown into confusion.Copy !req
1394. My Compass Needle detected nothing.Copy !req
1395. But that's not the issue here!Copy !req
1396. On the battlefield,Copy !req
1397. you must instantly understand
the unforeseen and the unexpectedCopy !req
1398. and deal with them then and there!Copy !req
1399. I have the ability to do that!Copy !req
1400. Or so I thought.Copy !req
1401. But during this short battle,Copy !req
1402. he grasped something
and surpassed my speed!Copy !req
1403. The very best of martial arts,
honed over several centuries...Copy !req
1404. He shattered them with a head-on attack!Copy !req
1405. There was no hatred or rage in his eyesCopy !req
1406. and no killing intent
or fighting spirit either!Copy !req
1407. Most likely, those eyes had perceived
what I've been seeking...Copy !req
1408. the realm of the highest!Copy !req
1409. None other than the selfless state.Copy !req
1410. I've had a vague sense
that this state existed,Copy !req
1411. but I've never yet managed to attain it.Copy !req
1412. I'm not done yet!Copy !req
1413. I can still fight!Copy !req
1414. I can still become stronger!Copy !req
1415. KILLCopy !req
1416. Is he trying to reattach his head?Copy !req
1417. I can't let it end!Copy !req
1418. Not here!Copy !req
1419. I'm going to get stronger!Copy !req
1420. I've got to become stronger
than anyone else!Copy !req
1421. Stronger!Copy !req
1422. Even stronger...Copy !req
1423. DESTROYER OF DEMONSCopy !req
1424. It disintegrated!Copy !req
1425. It's over now!Copy !req
1426. We won!Copy !req
1427. I'm so dizzy...Copy !req
1428. My muscles are cramping.Copy !req
1429. My body's reached its limit!Copy !req
1430. Are you all right? Tanjiro—Copy !req
1431. His body isn't disintegrating!Copy !req
1432. Does this... Does this mean...Copy !req
1433. Tan—Copy !req
1434. He's still moving!Copy !req
1435. His body's not disintegrating!Copy !req
1436. The severed part is closing up!Copy !req
1437. So dizzy...Copy !req
1438. No way... No way!Copy !req
1439. Even after I cut off his head,
he still won't die?Copy !req
1440. Is there some kind of condition to meet?Copy !req
1441. Like with Gyutaro and Daki?Copy !req
1442. No, that's not it.Copy !req
1443. His head disintegrated and disappeared!Copy !req
1444. He's trying to change right now!Copy !req
1445. Akaza's also trying to evolve
into something else!Copy !req
1446. He's trying to become like Muzan,
whose head is not his weak point!Copy !req
1447. This battle isn't over!Copy !req
1448. The fight is still—Copy !req
1449. Tanjiro!Copy !req
1450. He fainted!Copy !req
1451. Well, of course!Copy !req
1452. He's long since blown past his limit!Copy !req
1453. Water Breathing,Copy !req
1454. Fourth Form:Copy !req
1455. Striking Tide!Copy !req
1456. He's regenerating!Copy !req
1457. Even after losing his head, his speed is...Copy !req
1458. I can't hear a thing out of my left ear.Copy !req
1459. I have no sensation in my right hand.Copy !req
1460. I can still grip with it,
but I don't know how useful I'll be.Copy !req
1461. Hold it!Copy !req
1462. I...Copy !req
1463. I'm still alive!Copy !req
1464. If you want to kill Tanjiro,
you'll have to defeat me first!Copy !req
1465. An indomitable spirit...Copy !req
1466. It will never bend,
no matter the crisis it finds itself in.Copy !req
1467. We're not samurai.Copy !req
1468. We don't carry swords.Copy !req
1469. But we always carry swords in our hearts.Copy !req
1470. But we always carry swords in our hearts.Copy !req
1471. All we use are our own fists.Copy !req
1472. You are an eyesore!Copy !req
1473. Please stop.Copy !req
1474. Who is that?Copy !req
1475. Mr. Hakuji... Please stop already!Copy !req
1476. Let go. Let go of my hand!Copy !req
1477. Who the hell are you?Copy !req
1478. Let's stop this right now!Copy !req
1479. Let's go to the other side!Copy !req
1480. I can't.Copy !req
1481. I've got to kill those two!Copy !req
1482. Why is that?Copy !req
1483. I've got to become stronger!Copy !req
1484. I'll kill anyone who gets in my way!Copy !req
1485. Why is that?Copy !req
1486. Why do you wish to become stronger?Copy !req
1487. Because...Copy !req
1488. unless I'm strong,Copy !req
1489. I won't be able to bring it back home
for him anymore!Copy !req
1490. The medicine for my dad!Copy !req
1491. I've got to become stronger...Copy !req
1492. or I won't be able to run off
with the wallet I stole!Copy !req
1493. I've got to become stronger,Copy !req
1494. or I won't be able to defeat them
when they retaliate!Copy !req
1495. I've got to become stronger,Copy !req
1496. or I'll get caught by the magistrate
and lashed as punishment!Copy !req
1497. You've already got three tattoos
for pickpocketing on both arms!Copy !req
1498. Next time, we're going
to chop off your hands!Copy !req
1499. Lower your head! Kneel more!Copy !req
1500. Go ahead and chop them off!Copy !req
1501. Even if you chop both hands off,
I'll still have my feet!Copy !req
1502. I'll use my feet to steal!Copy !req
1503. Regardless,
I'm not gonna get caught next time!Copy !req
1504. A repeat offender at the tender age of 11Copy !req
1505. and all this bravado
after taking 100 lashesCopy !req
1506. that would make grown men faint!Copy !req
1507. You're a demon child!Copy !req
1508. Call me whatever you want!Copy !req
1509. That's right, I'm a demon child!Copy !req
1510. After all, they say I already had
teeth when I was born!Copy !req
1511. Insolent boy!Copy !req
1512. You little punk!Copy !req
1513. "Demon child" is fine by me, you bastards!Copy !req
1514. SOUTH TOWN MAGISTRATE'S OFFICECopy !req
1515. Hakuji!Copy !req
1516. Hakuji!Copy !req
1517. Your father heard that you'd been caught
stealing again, and he hanged himself!Copy !req
1518. He's dead!Copy !req
1519. Dear Hakuji...Copy !req
1520. Live an honest life.Copy !req
1521. You can still start over.Copy !req
1522. So, the poor aren't even allowed to live?Copy !req
1523. Dad...Copy !req
1524. To hell with this rotten world!Copy !req
1525. Every last one of you,Copy !req
1526. you can all just die and rot in Hell!Copy !req
1527. Why do scumbags like these get to liveCopy !req
1528. while my dad had to go and die?Copy !req
1529. You weren't causing any trouble!Copy !req
1530. Why would you apologize?Copy !req
1531. You didn't do anything wrong, Dad!Copy !req
1532. I didn't even mind
getting lashed for stealing!Copy !req
1533. Even if they beat me black-and-blue
or broke my bones,Copy !req
1534. I could take it all for you, Dad!Copy !req
1535. For centuries, even!Copy !req
1536. Repent!Copy !req
1537. Earn an honest living!Copy !req
1538. Why don't you shut up, scum?Copy !req
1539. I don't have enough money.Copy !req
1540. Medicine costs a lot!Copy !req
1541. My dad was getting thinner and thinner.Copy !req
1542. The bones were starting
to jut out of his back.Copy !req
1543. I wanted him to have something
more nutritious to eat!Copy !req
1544. I would've been happy to die...Copy !req
1545. if it were for my dad's sake!Copy !req
1546. For my...Copy !req
1547. dad's sake!Copy !req
1548. Oh, wow! That is impressive!Copy !req
1549. SORYUCopy !req
1550. I was called here because someone said
a child was about to be killed,Copy !req
1551. but you've flattened seven grown-ups
with your bare fists.Copy !req
1552. You've got talent, kid!Copy !req
1553. To take on grown-ups unarmed
and still win!Copy !req
1554. That's what I like to see!Copy !req
1555. Who the hell is that?Copy !req
1556. What am I seeing?Copy !req
1557. Are these my memories?Copy !req
1558. Wanna join my dojo?Copy !req
1559. I don't have any students.Copy !req
1560. Shut up, you stupid old geezer!Copy !req
1561. I'll kill you!Copy !req
1562. Those tattoos tell meCopy !req
1563. that you're a criminal from Edo, right?Copy !req
1564. So, you've been banished from Edo,
and you ended up here?Copy !req
1565. So what if I did?Copy !req
1566. That's none of your business!Copy !req
1567. Yes! First off,
time to be reborn, young man.Copy !req
1568. All right, bring it!Copy !req
1569. You...Copy !req
1570. Drop dead, you old fart!Copy !req
1571. SORYU DOJOCopy !req
1572. Well, you sure are durable.Copy !req
1573. After that pummeling I gave you,
you came to in less than an hour.Copy !req
1574. I'm Keizo.Copy !req
1575. I run a dojo where I teach the Soryu Style
of fighting with bare hands.Copy !req
1576. But I don't have a single student,Copy !req
1577. so I earn a living
as a handyman, doing odd jobs.Copy !req
1578. The first thing I want you to do
is look after my sickly daughter.Copy !req
1579. Since I have to work,
I'd like to leave her in your care.Copy !req
1580. My wife drowned herself the other day
due to nursing fatigue.Copy !req
1581. I'm really at my wits' end as you can see.Copy !req
1582. Really, thanks to my incompetence,Copy !req
1583. both my wife and daughter have suffered.Copy !req
1584. Are you sure you want to leave a criminal
like me alone with your daughter?Copy !req
1585. I pummeled the criminal
out of you earlier,Copy !req
1586. so it's fine.Copy !req
1587. They're alike.Copy !req
1588. I get it now.Copy !req
1589. The reason you repulsed meCopy !req
1590. was because you reminded me
of my worthless past.Copy !req
1591. This is my daughter, Koyuki.Copy !req
1592. My worthless past...Copy !req
1593. Worthless...Copy !req
1594. Hakuji, I'm so sorry.Copy !req
1595. How are you, Koyuki?Copy !req
1596. Is it okay for you to be up?Copy !req
1597. Yes.Copy !req
1598. You're right, you have more color
than you did this morning.Copy !req
1599. Do you feel a bit better?Copy !req
1600. Yes.Copy !req
1601. Oh, him?Copy !req
1602. His name is...Copy !req
1603. I've asked him numerous times,
but he won't tell me.Copy !req
1604. Hey, don't just stand out there!Copy !req
1605. Have a seat here.Copy !req
1606. All right, get it out of him
before I get home!Copy !req
1607. Um...Copy !req
1608. Y-Your face...Copy !req
1609. You're hurt.Copy !req
1610. Are you all right?Copy !req
1611. I'll heal you for sure.Copy !req
1612. I'll save you... protect you...Copy !req
1613. All I ever did in my worthless lifeCopy !req
1614. was spew baseless lies.Copy !req
1615. Thank you.Copy !req
1616. You don't have to thank me
every single time.Copy !req
1617. Don't worry about it. Go to sleep.Copy !req
1618. I'm sorry for causing you trouble.Copy !req
1619. I said it was all right.Copy !req
1620. Do you want me to shut this?Copy !req
1621. No,Copy !req
1622. you can leave it as is.Copy !req
1623. Koyuki was truly delicate and frail.Copy !req
1624. I had to stay with her all night,Copy !req
1625. change the towels for her forehead
and her nightgownCopy !req
1626. and give her water frequently.Copy !req
1627. When she needed to use the restroom,
it was a given I had to carry her there.Copy !req
1628. I'd already been taking care of my dad,Copy !req
1629. and since I had
extraordinary physical endurance,Copy !req
1630. it really wasn't a hardship for me.Copy !req
1631. Sorry to make you do this every day.Copy !req
1632. Why do people suffering from illness
always say they're sorry?Copy !req
1633. "Sorry to put you through all this."Copy !req
1634. "Sorry if the sound
of my coughing bothers you."Copy !req
1635. "Sorry I can't work like I should."Copy !req
1636. They'd rather care
for themselves if they could.Copy !req
1637. And it's not like
they can just stop coughing.Copy !req
1638. If they could breathe normally,
they would.Copy !req
1639. They're the ones
who must be suffering the most.Copy !req
1640. Sorry again.Copy !req
1641. You can't even train because of me,Copy !req
1642. and you can't go play.Copy !req
1643. I don't want to go play. I never have.Copy !req
1644. I train in my spare time here and there,
so don't worry about it.Copy !req
1645. But...Copy !req
1646. you must want a change
of scenery sometimes.Copy !req
1647. I hear they're setting off
fireworks tonight,Copy !req
1648. so please, go.Copy !req
1649. Right.Copy !req
1650. If you're not feeling dizzy then,Copy !req
1651. shall I carry you on my back
to just before the bridge?Copy !req
1652. What?Copy !req
1653. Even if you can't go today,Copy !req
1654. they'll be setting off fireworks
next year and the year after,Copy !req
1655. so we can just go then.Copy !req
1656. The only time I found
nursing to be a hassleCopy !req
1657. was when Koyuki started sobbing
while we were talking.Copy !req
1658. I'm sure she was feeling down,
being sick and bedridden,Copy !req
1659. but it made me uncomfortable
when she cried.Copy !req
1660. SORYUCopy !req
1661. Oh, I get it.Copy !req
1662. This is the character
for the "haku" in your name?Copy !req
1663. It's the same as the "koma" in komainu.Copy !req
1664. That makes sense.Copy !req
1665. Just as I thought, you're the same as me.Copy !req
1666. You can't get by
unless you have something to protect.Copy !req
1667. Just like those komainu,
the dogs who guard the shrines.Copy !req
1668. The reason why the Master owned
all this land and the dojoCopy !req
1669. despite not being a samurai or anythingCopy !req
1670. was because he'd rescued
an elderly man from bandits,Copy !req
1671. who, greatly moved
by his Soryu Style moves,Copy !req
1672. left him his land and dojo,
for which he had no heirs.Copy !req
1673. SORYU DOJOCopy !req
1674. But that didn't sit well with thoseCopy !req
1675. who wanted to have that land
and dojo for themselves.Copy !req
1676. The kenjutsu dojo next door
started harassing the Soryu Dojo.Copy !req
1677. Because of that, the Soryu Dojo
couldn't get any new students.Copy !req
1678. But thanks to my training thereCopy !req
1679. and my caring for Koyuki,Copy !req
1680. my heart found salvation.Copy !req
1681. Three years went by, and I turned 18.Copy !req
1682. Koyuki was 16.Copy !req
1683. She was almost never bedridden anymoreCopy !req
1684. and could now live a normal life.Copy !req
1685. Hakuji.Copy !req
1686. Got a second?Copy !req
1687. Sure!Copy !req
1688. So...Copy !req
1689. will you take over this dojo
for me, Hakuji?Copy !req
1690. Koyuki says she likes you too.Copy !req
1691. Huh?Copy !req
1692. My future as someone
with the tattoos of a criminalCopy !req
1693. wasn't something that I could picture.Copy !req
1694. Much less a future with someone
who feels fond of a person like me.Copy !req
1695. Could it be that, just like my dad said,Copy !req
1696. I would be able to lead
an honest life now?Copy !req
1697. The faint hope
of starting all over in lifeCopy !req
1698. began to swell uncontrollably.Copy !req
1699. At that moment,Copy !req
1700. I had no inkling that the two people
I wanted to protect with my lifeCopy !req
1701. would be poisoned to death.Copy !req
1702. I went to Edo to visit my dad's grave.Copy !req
1703. I wanted to let him know
that I was getting married.Copy !req
1704. Though I returned to the dojo
before the sun went down,Copy !req
1705. I felt nauseous
even before I heard about it.Copy !req
1706. My diaphragm seized up,Copy !req
1707. and I had goosebumps
from an ominous premonition.Copy !req
1708. Someone put poison in the well!Copy !req
1709. Because they could never beat
you or Mr. Keizo head-on,Copy !req
1710. they resorted to doing
this horrible thing!Copy !req
1711. Atrocious! It's unthinkable!Copy !req
1712. They even killed Koyuki!Copy !req
1713. When my loved ones
find themselves in danger,Copy !req
1714. I'm never nearby.Copy !req
1715. Even though I'd promised her...Copy !req
1716. Are you sure you're fine with me?Copy !req
1717. Do you remember when we were children
and we talked about seeing the fireworks?Copy !req
1718. Huh? No...Copy !req
1719. Uh...Copy !req
1720. Thanks to those little chats we had,
Mr. Hakuji, I felt joy many times.Copy !req
1721. You said that even if we couldn't see
the fireworks that year,Copy !req
1722. we could just go
next year or the year after that.Copy !req
1723. I could never imagine a futureCopy !req
1724. in which I'd still be alive
next year or the year after that.Copy !req
1725. Neither could my mother.Copy !req
1726. I think that's why she killed herself.Copy !req
1727. Because she didn't want to see me die.Copy !req
1728. I could tell that my father
had given up, too, deep down inside.Copy !req
1729. Because I was so weak.Copy !req
1730. But you were able to see
my future, Mr. Hakuji.Copy !req
1731. You talked about next year and the year
after that as if it were perfectly normal.Copy !req
1732. That really made me happy!Copy !req
1733. You're the one for me, Mr. Hakuji.Copy !req
1734. Will you...Copy !req
1735. be my husband?Copy !req
1736. Yes.Copy !req
1737. I'm going to become stronger
than anyone elseCopy !req
1738. and protect you for the rest of my life.Copy !req
1739. In the end,Copy !req
1740. it was all talk, and I was never able
to see a single thing through to the end.Copy !req
1741. SORYUCopy !req
1742. What do you want?Copy !req
1743. How impolite!Copy !req
1744. You Soryu bastard!Copy !req
1745. After the father and daughter of
the Soryu Dojo were poisoned and killed,Copy !req
1746. one of the surviving students
attacked the neighboring kenjutsu dojo,Copy !req
1747. killing 67 people!Copy !req
1748. He shattered their skulls and crushed
their organs with his bare hands!Copy !req
1749. Not only did he smash and mangle
most of the bodies beyond recognition,Copy !req
1750. they're all missing
a significant amount of body parts!Copy !req
1751. The walls and ceilings are strewn
with jaws, brains and eyeballsCopy !req
1752. as well as limbs and organs,
making for a hellish sight!Copy !req
1753. The murderer was no ordinary human!Copy !req
1754. I heard a huge commotion that someone saw
a demon in a place I never sent one.Copy !req
1755. And now that I've come to see for myself,Copy !req
1756. I find that it was a mere human.Copy !req
1757. What a letdown.Copy !req
1758. Move it.Copy !req
1759. I'll kill you!Copy !req
1760. I'm thinking of creating
around 12 powerful demons.Copy !req
1761. I wonder if you can withstand
the amount of blood I'm going to give you.Copy !req
1762. Don't...Copy !req
1763. Don't... care anymore...Copy !req
1764. about anything...Copy !req
1765. After turning into a demon,
I lost my memories,Copy !req
1766. and once again, I began to seek power!Copy !req
1767. More!Copy !req
1768. Show me more of what you've got!Copy !req
1769. Even though I no longerCopy !req
1770. had a single thing left
that I wanted to protect...Copy !req
1771. Even though it wasn't
as if I wanted to live in a worldCopy !req
1772. without my family...Copy !req
1773. For over a century, I committed
senseless massacres over and over.Copy !req
1774. What an absolutely pathetic, absurdCopy !req
1775. and worthless past.Copy !req
1776. Even if I die, I can't go
to where the other three are.Copy !req
1777. Damn you for making me rememberCopy !req
1778. that past of mine!Copy !req
1779. Damn humans!Copy !req
1780. Such delicate, fragile weaklings!Copy !req
1781. They die too easily!Copy !req
1782. They break!Copy !req
1783. They vanish into thin air!Copy !req
1784. He's still not dead!Copy !req
1785. Unbelievable!Copy !req
1786. I have to kill him right now!Copy !req
1787. If we let him regenerate now,
we're done for!Copy !req
1788. I blacked out!
In the middle of the battle!Copy !req
1789. His head!Copy !req
1790. His head's starting to regenerate!Copy !req
1791. But I chopped it off!Copy !req
1792. Destructive Death, Annihilation Type!Copy !req
1793. Stop it!Copy !req
1794. That kid! He can still move?Copy !req
1795. I'll behead you as many times as it takes!Copy !req
1796. We're going to win,
Mr. Giyu and I together!Copy !req
1797. We're going to beat Akaza!Copy !req
1798. My sword!Copy !req
1799. It slipped out of his hands!Copy !req
1800. My grip!Copy !req
1801. Time to be reborn...Copy !req
1802. young man.Copy !req
1803. I despise weaklings!Copy !req
1804. Weaklings...Copy !req
1805. They pour poison into a wellCopy !req
1806. instead of fighting fair and square!Copy !req
1807. They're atrocious!Copy !req
1808. The weak have no patience!Copy !req
1809. They become desperate too soon!Copy !req
1810. I killed people with my fists
which were meant for protection!Copy !req
1811. I sullied my master's
beloved Soryu with blood,Copy !req
1812. and I couldn't follow
my dad's last wishes!Copy !req
1813. That's right.Copy !req
1814. The one I wanted to kill...Copy !req
1815. Not good! Not good! Not good!
My sword flew off somewhere!Copy !req
1816. I can't stop him just by punching him!Copy !req
1817. Akaza's about to unleash the Annihilation
Type move that he used on Mr. Rengoku!Copy !req
1818. I have to take Mr. Giyu with me
out of the attack range!Copy !req
1819. Forget about me!Copy !req
1820. I've got to kill them.Copy !req
1821. The weaklingCopy !req
1822. that I hate so much!Copy !req
1823. He attacked himself.Copy !req
1824. Why would he turn on himself like that?Copy !req
1825. Why?Copy !req
1826. For a second,Copy !req
1827. I could pick up the scent
of gratitude from Akaza.Copy !req
1828. Why did he smile?Copy !req
1829. That's enough! Stop it!Copy !req
1830. Don't regenerate!Copy !req
1831. The battle is over!Copy !req
1832. I lost!Copy !req
1833. I lost decisively in that moment!Copy !req
1834. That was a clean, splendid technique!Copy !req
1835. You anticipated the enemy's movements
to perfection, pivoted at the last secondCopy !req
1836. and struck before the enemy had finished
unleashing his move!Copy !req
1837. It's over now.Copy !req
1838. I want to accept my fate and go to Hell.Copy !req
1839. Where does he want to go?Copy !req
1840. He stopped in his tracks.Copy !req
1841. Dad...Copy !req
1842. Are you all right now?Copy !req
1843. You're not in any pain?Copy !req
1844. I'm fine, Hakuji.Copy !req
1845. Thank you, Son.Copy !req
1846. Sorry, Dad.Copy !req
1847. Sorry I couldn't start over.Copy !req
1848. It didn't work out.Copy !req
1849. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
1850. No matter how you turn out,
you're my son and student.Copy !req
1851. We won't desert you, even in death!Copy !req
1852. Though we can't take you
with us to Heaven...Copy !req
1853. Master...Copy !req
1854. Didn't you want to become stronger?Copy !req
1855. Is this it for you,Copy !req
1856. Akaza?Copy !req
1857. That's right.Copy !req
1858. I'm going to get stronger.Copy !req
1859. I want to become stronger!Copy !req
1860. So what if I got beheaded?Copy !req
1861. Win? Lose? Who cares?Copy !req
1862. I'm going to kill 'em all!Copy !req
1863. I can still become stronger!Copy !req
1864. I have to keep my promise!Copy !req
1865. Mr. Hakuji.Copy !req
1866. Thank you.Copy !req
1867. That's enough.Copy !req
1868. That's enough now.Copy !req
1869. It's all right.Copy !req
1870. Akaza!Copy !req
1871. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!Copy !req
1872. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you!Copy !req
1873. I'm sorry I wasn't there
when it counted most!Copy !req
1874. I couldn't keep a single promise I made!Copy !req
1875. Forgive me!Copy !req
1876. I'm begging you, please forgive me!Copy !req
1877. Forgive me!Copy !req
1878. I'm so glad that you remembered us.Copy !req
1879. I'm so glad that you're back to being
the Mr. Hakuji that I know!Copy !req
1880. Welcome home, Hakuji.Copy !req
1881. Hey, Hakuji!Copy !req
1882. Welcome home!Copy !req
1883. I'm home.Copy !req
1884. I'm back now.Copy !req
1885. Welcome home,Copy !req
1886. my darling!Copy !req
1887. Hey...Copy !req
1888. He vanished.Copy !req
1889. It's over.Copy !req
1890. Gotta hurry.Copy !req
1891. We've got to... go to Ms. Tamayo...Copy !req
1892. next...Copy !req
1893. Tanjiro!Copy !req
1894. Tanjiro, Giyu have defeated Upper Three!Copy !req
1895. They are unable to stay conscious
due to exhaustion!Copy !req
1896. They've passed out!Copy !req
1897. Tanjiro, Giyu have defeated Upper Three!Copy !req
1898. Upper Three!Copy !req
1899. Akaza's presence is gone.Copy !req
1900. Who knew that he'd lose?Copy !req
1901. Akaza!Copy !req
1902. Weren't you going to defeat me?Copy !req
1903. Who knew that you'd willingly abandonCopy !req
1904. the path you opened to greater heights?Copy !req
1905. How absurdly weak!Copy !req
1906. Could... Lord Akaza...Copy !req
1907. possibly be d-dead?Copy !req
1908. I felt a weird presence for a moment,
but it was just my imagination, right?Copy !req
1909. Like Lord Akaza
had turned into some other creature.Copy !req
1910. Well, now that he's dead, I have no clue!Copy !req
1911. Let's see. Where was I?Copy !req
1912. Oh, right, I remember!Copy !req
1913. I'd asked you your name, right?Copy !req
1914. Tanjiro, Giyu have defeated Upper Three!Copy !req
1915. Upper Three!Copy !req
1916. Mr. Himejima!Copy !req
1917. Yes.Copy !req
1918. Good job, Tomioka!Copy !req
1919. Good job, Kamado!Copy !req
1920. That's amazing, Mr. Tomioka, Tanjiro!Copy !req
1921. We're going to follow their lead.Copy !req
1922. Right!Copy !req
1923. Don't die, Agatsuma!Copy !req
1924. If you don't hurry it up, I'll poke you!Copy !req
1925. Listen up!Copy !req
1926. Show me where the strongest demon is!Copy !req
1927. Got that?Copy !req
1928. Comin' through!Copy !req
1929. This way! This way!Copy !req
1930. There's a powerful guy over here!Copy !req
1931. Where's Big Brother?Copy !req
1932. Bring me an Upper Rank! An Upper Rank!Copy !req
1933. Hey!Copy !req
1934. Stop running from me!Copy !req
1935. The passageway leading north
on the 88th level...Copy !req
1936. no sign of Muzan.Copy !req
1937. The 100th and 27th levels
in the southeast...Copy !req
1938. no sign of Muzan.Copy !req
1939. Where?Copy !req
1940. Where is he? Where could he be?Copy !req
1941. No sign of MuzanCopy !req
1942. on any of the levels
from 90 to 100 either.Copy !req
1943. Covering the entire 100th and 33rd levels.Copy !req
1944. No sign of Muzan.Copy !req
1945. Our crows'll find you without fail!Copy !req
1946. We're going over this castleCopy !req
1947. with a fine-tooth comb,
and we'll track you down wherever you go!Copy !req
1948. FOURCopy !req
1949. Multi-layered structures are
now moving to the northeast.Copy !req
1950. New structures are moving
vertically and horizontally!Copy !req
1951. Folding over themselves!Copy !req
1952. - And becoming one!
- And becoming one!Copy !req
1953. Who would've thought...Copy !req
1954. No...Copy !req
1955. we don't have the option to lose.Copy !req
1956. Crows, go on!Copy !req
1957. To where Muzan is!Copy !req
1958. Those eyesore Demon Slayers!Copy !req
1959. You'll never be able to reach me!Copy !req
1960. You may be feeling smug
about beheading an Upper Rank,Copy !req
1961. but unless you kill me, it means nothing!Copy !req
1962. You're going to die meaninglessly
without ever seeing my face!Copy !req
1963. So fitting for you foolish,
meaningless lot!Copy !req
1964. When I'm done here,Copy !req
1965. I'm going to make you regret
that you were ever alive!Copy !req
1966. You're going to struggle,
suffer and writhe about in pain!Copy !req
1967. And for you Demon Slayers,
this will be your final night,Copy !req
1968. the night of your death!Copy !req
1969. Don't die!Copy !req
1970. Giyu!Copy !req
1971. Tanjiro, don't you die on us!Copy !req
