    KILL
[00:23] ---
    What the hell is this?
[00:25] ---
    After the castles got worn down
    from the Restoration,
[00:28] ---
    this one, being in such a remote area,
    must've been abandoned and forgotten.
[00:32] ---
    That's my guess.
[00:34] ---
    This pisses me off.
[00:36] ---
    Knowing that those demon bastards
    are living it up like lords.
[00:40] ---
    Are you sure that someone
    from the village was taken here?
[00:45] ---
    Yes!
[00:46] ---
    Last night, we tracked her to the inside
    of the castle tower but found nothing.
[00:52] ---
    She wouldn't vanish
    into thin air, you moron!
[00:55] ---
    How could you let them
    ditch you so fast?
[00:57] ---
    I'm truly sorry!
[00:59] ---
    So, another woman disappeared today.
[01:04] ---
    Despite the Demon Slayer Corps
    being on the alert... right under our noses...
[01:08] ---
    No one's expecting anything
    from you scrubs.
[01:12] ---
    As it turns out...
[01:13] ---
    we may not have gotten here
    too late after all.
[01:17] ---
    Bastard!
[01:36] ---
    It looks like I should've disposed
    of them last night!
[01:54] ---
    DESTROY
[02:38] ---
    Take this!
[02:46] ---
    You two, head back.
[02:49] ---
    I'll be going on ahead
    with the Wind Hashira.
[02:52] ---
    But...
[02:52] ---
    You're a hindrance, all right?
    Now get out of here!
[03:00] ---
    Shinazugawa...
[03:02] ---
    Something's not right.
[03:04] ---
    Yeah. I don't like this, either.
[03:07] ---
    I've never seen demons
    swarming around like this.
[03:11] ---
    Help me!
[03:18] ---
    Wind Breathing...
[03:20] ---
    Second Form...
[03:27] ---
    Claws-Purifying Wind!
[03:34] ---
    Serpent Breathing...
[03:36] ---
    Fifth Form...
[03:46] ---
    Slithering Serpent!
[03:49] ---
    That was close.
[03:50] ---
    Who asked for your help?
[03:54] ---
    So powerful!
[03:56] ---
    They're not just any Demon Slayers!
[03:58] ---
    Are they Hashira?
[03:59] ---
    Help me!
[04:01] ---
    Hey, demon!
[04:02] ---
    You can just leave that woman
    along with your head!
[04:06] ---
    Outta my way!
[04:08] ---
    They just keep coming!
[04:11] ---
    What are you, cockroaches? Take this!
[04:28] ---
    Again?
[04:33] ---
    Where the hell are these things coming from?
[04:36] ---
    Save the woman, Shinazugawa.
[04:40] ---
    I'll take over here.
[04:44] ---
    Yeah, I'm getting sick of slashing them.
[04:46] ---
    I'll let you have this one!
[04:51] ---
    Serpent Breathing, Third Form...
[05:01] ---
    Coil Choke.
[05:11] ---
    Hey!
[05:12] ---
    You still can't win
    even with all your foot soldiers.
[05:15] ---
    Just surrender and...
[05:16] ---
    die.
[05:29] ---
    Wind Breathing...
[05:31] ---
    Fourth Form...
[05:36] ---
    Rising Dust Storm!
[05:40] ---
    Really now...
[05:42] ---
    If you want her that much...
[05:44] ---
    Stop it! What are you doing?
[05:46] ---
    ...take her!
[06:03] ---
    What's this?
[06:25] ---
    Come back here, you bastard!
[06:41] ---
    What the hell's going on?
[06:44] ---
    Hey, Shinazugawa, what was that?
[06:48] ---
    Where did the demons go?
[06:53] ---
    How should I know?
[07:13] ---
    Are you sure I can drop you off
    at the crossroads up ahead?
[07:36] ---
    KOCHO
[07:46] ---
    Ms. Kanao!
[07:48] ---
    Welcome back from your mission!
[07:50] ---
    - Welcome back!
    - Welcome back!
[08:10] ---
    Master...
[08:12] ---
    I have just returned.
[08:15] ---
    The incident
    at the Swordsmith Village...
[08:18] ---
    is as I described
    the other day.
[08:20] ---
    Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Tokito, Ms. Kanroji,
    as well as that of Kamado and the others,
[08:26] ---
    we were able to defeat two Upper Ranks.
[08:30] ---
    Not only that...
[08:31] ---
    but Ms. Nezuko conquered the sun.
[08:35] ---
    This signals that some major
    developments are on the horizon.
[08:40] ---
    Yes.
[08:42] ---
    Most likely, Muzan Kibutsuji
    will send his demons...
[08:46] ---
    to abduct Ms. Nezuko.
[08:50] ---
    So that he can take possession
    of the demon who's conquered the sun.
[09:00] ---
    As an emergency Hashira Meeting
    has been called...
[09:05] ---
    I will be heading
    to the Ubuyashiki Mansion.
[09:07] ---
    May I entrust Ms. Nezuko to your care
    while I'm gone, Kanao?
[09:17] ---
    I'm counting on you!
[09:20] ---
    DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA
    HASHIRA TRAINING ARC
[09:31] ---
    Really?
[09:33] ---
    So, they're moving it already.
[09:35] ---
    Is everyone in the village okay?
[09:37] ---
    I don't know the details, but since they're worried
    that more demons might come during the night,
[09:42] ---
    they've been working nonstop
    to get the place restored and moved.
[09:45] ---
    I see.
[09:47] ---
    It's a miracle that it wasn't worse
    after two Upper Ranks showed up.
[09:53] ---
    They sure were unbelievable opponents.
[10:02] ---
    The Demon Slayer Corps have a few so-called
    empty villages built for such occasions.
[10:07] ---
    So that they can move right away
    if anything happens.
[10:09] ---
    Really?
[10:11] ---
    Well, it just goes to show that the Master
    and the others were that farsighted.
[10:15] ---
    But listen.
[10:16] ---
    Are you sure you should be gorging yourself
    like that after being unconscious for seven days?
[10:20] ---
    KAKUSHI
[10:20] ---
    Yes! Because Ms. Kanroji said
    she always eats plenty!
[10:24] ---
    Well, if you ask me, that one
    is actually something of an outlier.
[10:29] ---
    Delicious!
[10:31] ---
    Is it true that Ms. Love and Mr. Mist were asleep for
    two days, then mostly recovered by Day Three?
[10:36] ---
    Yes! I respect them!
[10:38] ---
    So, you're inching
    closer to their level.
[10:40] ---
    Little by little.
[10:42] ---
    Well, if you're gonna get well
    faster, it's all good.
[10:46] ---
    Yes.
[10:47] ---
    Thank goodness everyone survived, huh?
[10:49] ---
    Yes!
[10:50] ---
    Hey, this is what I've been dying to ask you!
[10:53] ---
    I hear that something mind-blowing happened
    to your little sister. Is she okay?
[10:57] ---
    Uh, yes.
[10:59] ---
    She's been strolling around
    under the sun, hasn't she?
[11:04] ---
    That's a big deal, right?
[11:06] ---
    Isn't that, like, a really big deal?
[11:08] ---
    We're having someone look into it,
    but it's not clear.
[11:13] ---
    Whether she's starting to turn back
    into a human or evolving as a demon.
[11:18] ---
    Is it Lady Kocho who's looking into that?
[11:20] ---
    No, it's Ms. Tamayo!
[11:22] ---
    Who's Ms. Tamayo?
[11:25] ---
    Hey, come on! I told you,
    you shouldn't stuff your face like that!
[11:28] ---
    You're still recovering, so show some restraint!
[11:32] ---
    What a close call!
[11:35] ---
    Since that's happened to your little sister,
    a lot will be happening for sure.
[11:39] ---
    The Demon Slayer swordsmen
    have been ordered to go on alert,
[11:43] ---
    and I'm told that the Hashira
    are meeting right now.
[11:46] ---
    Seriously, what's going to happen?
[12:05] ---
    Are we the last to show up?
[12:07] ---
    I see that we've kept you waiting.
    Forgive us.
[12:11] ---
    STONE HASHIRA
    GYOMEI HIMEJIMA
[12:11] ---
    It's fine.
[12:13] ---
    Good work
    on fulfilling your mission.
[12:16] ---
    Sure thing.
[12:18] ---
    WIND HASHIRA
    SANEMI SHINAZUGAWA
[12:19] ---
    Kanroji and Tokito...
[12:20] ---
    I hear that you battled
    some Upper Ranks.
[12:23] ---
    Yes, it was really intense!
[12:23] ---
    LOVE HASHIRA
    MITSURI KANROJI
[12:25] ---
    I was, like, "I'm done for!"...
[12:28] ---
    but we all put
    our strength together!
[12:30] ---
    Right, Muichiro?
[12:32] ---
    MIST HASHIRA
    MUICHIRO TOKITO
[12:33] ---
    Yes.
[12:35] ---
    Man, I wish I'd been there.
[12:39] ---
    How come I never run into any Upper Ranks?
[12:43] ---
    You'll just have to resign
    yourself to fate.
[12:43] ---
    SERPENT HASHIRA
    OBANAI IGURO
[12:45] ---
    If you don't encounter them,
    you never will.
[12:48] ---
    Kanroji and Tokito...
[12:49] ---
    How've you been since then physically?
[12:52] ---
    Oh, right!
[12:54] ---
    Thanks! I'm feeling much better now!
[12:56] ---
    Wow! He's worried about me!
[12:59] ---
    So am I. Although I'm not yet 100 percent.
[13:03] ---
    Losing any more Hashira would put
    the Demon Slayer Corps at risk.
[13:08] ---
    Defeating two Upper Ranks without losing
    your own lives was noble of you.
[13:13] ---
    About the two of you...
[13:13] ---
    INSECT HASHIRA
    SHINOBU KOCHO
[13:15] ---
    Your wounds healed
    at an abnormally fast pace this time.
[13:18] ---
    What happened to you?
[13:20] ---
    The Master himself will surely
    address that matter, as well.
[13:20] ---
    WATER HASHIRA
    GIYU TOMIOKA
[13:30] ---
    Thank you for waiting for so long.
[13:33] ---
    Today's Hashira Meeting will be presided over
    by myself, Amane Ubuyashiki...
[13:37] ---
    in Kagaya Ubuyashiki's stead.
[13:41] ---
    And also, due to the fact
    that his condition has worsened,
[13:44] ---
    the head of our family, Kagaya,
    can never appear before you again.
[13:50] ---
    Please allow me to express
    my heartfelt apologies.
[14:08] ---
    Understood.
[14:10] ---
    I shall pray that the Master
    will find the strength...
[14:13] ---
    to let the light of his life burn on
    even one day longer.
[14:18] ---
    Lady Amane, please stay strong yourself.
[14:24] ---
    I would like to thank you Hashira
    from the bottom of my heart.
[14:31] ---
    I believe you're already aware of this...
[14:33] ---
    but now that a demon
    who's conquered sunlight has appeared...
[14:37] ---
    it's a given that Muzan Kibutsuji will make
    a frenzied attempt to come after her.
[14:42] ---
    So that he, too, can conquer the sun.
[14:46] ---
    An all-out war of immense scale
    is approaching.
[14:50] ---
    While battling Upper Four and Upper Five...
[14:53] ---
    Lady Kanroji...
[14:55] ---
    Lord Tokito...
[14:58] ---
    I was told that a unique-looking mark
    appeared on you both.
[15:04] ---
    Please instruct us as to what conditions
    you met to induce those marks.
[15:11] ---
    Marks?
[15:14] ---
    During the Sengoku Period...
[15:16] ---
    the swordsmen who'd driven Muzan Kibutsuji
    to the brink of defeat...
[15:20] ---
    the swordsmen of First Breathing...
[15:24] ---
    It is said that every one of them came to bear
    a mark similar to demonic patterns.
[15:32] ---
    There are those who are aware of this,
    having heard through word of mouth.
[15:37] ---
    This is the first I'm hearing of it.
[15:39] ---
    Why was it kept secret?
[15:42] ---
    There were many who brooded
    over not having the mark appear.
[15:49] ---
    That is why.
[15:51] ---
    Much of the lore surrounding
    this mark remains vague.
[15:56] ---
    Perhaps because at the time,
    it was not seen as vital enough to preserve.
[16:00] ---
    Or perhaps because there was
    no one to pass it on...
[16:04] ---
    during the many times
    the Demon Slayer Corps faced annihilation.
[16:09] ---
    There is only a single explicit record
    remaining today.
[16:14] ---
    "When one person
    bearing the mark appears,
[16:17] ---
    those around him also manifest marks
    as if resonating with him."
[16:28] ---
    So wrote one of the First Breathing swordsmen
    in his personal notes.
[16:35] ---
    The first person of our generation
    to have the mark appear...
[16:41] ---
    though not a Hashira...
[16:45] ---
    is Lord Tanjiro Kamado.
[16:47] ---
    He is the first to bear the mark.
[16:51] ---
    It felt like my body
    was going "Pow!" and "Bam!"
[16:51] ---
    However, as he himself seemed unable
    to describe exactly how his mark appeared...
[16:54] ---
    And my stomach went "Clench, clench!"
[16:57] ---
    My stomach went "Clench"!
[16:57] ---
    we decided to revisit it another time.
[17:00] ---
    And now, following Lord Kamado,
    two Hashira have manifested the mark.
[17:06] ---
    Please enlighten us,
    Lady Kanroji, Lord Tokito.
[17:12] ---
    Huh?
[17:13] ---
    Oh, right!
[17:15] ---
    Lady Amane is so gorgeous!
[17:20] ---
    Um, um, um, you see, when it happened...
[17:24] ---
    I know that...
[17:25] ---
    my body felt extremely light!
[17:30] ---
    Let's see.
[17:32] ---
    Um...
[17:34] ---
    And then...
[17:36] ---
    And then...
[17:40] ---
    I felt my body go, "Bam!"
[17:43] ---
    It went "Bam!"...
[17:44] ---
    and then "Pow!"
[17:46] ---
    My heart was pounding like crazy!
[17:49] ---
    And my ears were going "Ding"!
[17:51] ---
    Then, "Ripple, ripple, ripple!"
[18:01] ---
    Huh?
[18:06] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[18:08] ---
    I wish I could crawl into a hole!
[18:11] ---
    TANJIRO TYPE
[18:15] ---
    Then, let me speak.
[18:19] ---
    It's not as if I was aware of the mark...
[18:23] ---
    but when I looked back on that battle...
[18:26] ---
    several things did come to mind.
[18:28] ---
    Things that were out of the ordinary.
[18:32] ---
    As long as certain
    conditions are met...
[18:35] ---
    I believe that the mark
    will appear on everyone.
[18:38] ---
    I will now explain how to do so.
[18:53] ---
    During the previous battle,
    I was poisoned and unable to move.
[18:59] ---
    I tried to slow the flow of the poison
    by using my breathing technique...
[19:05] ---
    but then, the boy who tried to save me
    was about to be killed...
[19:09] ---
    which brought back
    my memories of the past.
[19:11] ---
    And the overwhelming rage I felt
    made me lose control of my emotions.
[19:17] ---
    I believe that my heart rate exceeded
    200 beats per minute at that moment.
[19:23] ---
    Not only that, but my body felt
    as though it was on fire...
[19:26] ---
    and I'm sure that my temperature
    was over 102 degrees.
[19:32] ---
    How could you move in such a state?
[19:34] ---
    That would be fatal!
[19:36] ---
    Yes, that's true.
[19:38] ---
    So, I think that's the point
    at which we get culled.
[19:43] ---
    Whether you die or survive
    in that moment...
[19:46] ---
    is likely the difference between those
    who manifest the mark and those who don't.
[19:54] ---
    A heart rate exceeding
    200 beats per minute...
[19:58] ---
    And how do you know
    your temperature was over 102 degrees?
[20:02] ---
    Right. When I was being treated
    at Ms. Kocho's, I had a fever...
[20:08] ---
    and the reading taken by a thermometer...
[20:12] ---
    102 degrees...
[20:13] ---
    was the same as my body heat
    when my mark supposedly appeared.
[20:21] ---
    Is that right?
[20:23] ---
    Hah! Could it be any simpler?
[20:27] ---
    Having such a simple mind
    that you can call this simple...
[20:31] ---
    I envy you.
[20:33] ---
    What was that?
[20:35] ---
    Nothing.
[20:40] ---
    So...
[20:41] ---
    the Hashira's top priority
    is to awaken these marks, right?
[20:44] ---
    Very well.
[20:46] ---
    We will figure out a way...
[20:48] ---
    so please let the Master know
    that he may rest assured.
[20:53] ---
    Thank you very much.
[20:55] ---
    However, I do need to convey one thing to you
    regarding this mark training.
[21:02] ---
    What would that be?
[21:05] ---
    Those whose marks have already appeared
    have no choice in the matter, but...
[21:11] ---
    all who have a mark will,
    without exception...
[21:37] ---
    I see.
[21:39] ---
    But in that case,
    what will become of me?
[21:43] ---
    Good Lord...
[21:45] ---
    Now that Lady Amane has left the room,
    I'll be taking off.
[21:49] ---
    Hey, hold up!
    You're not going anywhere.
[21:52] ---
    We need to decide
    what our respective roles will be!
[21:57] ---
    The six of you should discuss that.
[21:59] ---
    It has nothing to do with me.
[22:01] ---
    What do you mean, nothing to do with you?
[22:04] ---
    You seem to forget that you're a Hashira.
[22:08] ---
    Or what is this?
[22:09] ---
    Do you intend to get yourself
    a head start on training?
[22:13] ---
    Skipping this meeting no less?
[22:18] ---
    O-O-Oh!
[22:19] ---
    Look, you! Get back here!
[22:21] ---
    Mr. Tomioka, please explain yourself.
[22:25] ---
    We can't just dismiss this without reason.
[22:31] ---
    I'm not like the rest of you.
[22:34] ---
    I don't like the sound of that.
[22:36] ---
    You said the same thing before,
    didn't you, Tomioka?
[22:40] ---
    You're looking down on us?
[22:42] ---
    N-No fighting, all right?
[22:44] ---
    Calm down!
[22:48] ---
    Get the hell back here!
[22:50] ---
    Oh! No, no, no!
[22:52] ---
    Stop!
[23:01] ---
    Sit down.
[23:04] ---
    We're continuing this discussion.
[23:06] ---
    I have a proposal.
[23:10] ---
    Here.
[23:11] ---
    Wow!
[23:12] ---
    Thank you so much!
[23:14] ---
    Jeez, you sure have an appetite!
[23:18] ---
    Hey, where are those
    three little ones and your little sister?
[23:21] ---
    I haven't seen Aoi, either.
[23:23] ---
    Since there aren't any Demon Slayer swordsmen
    in critical condition now,
[23:26] ---
    they've been playing
    with Nezuko all this time.
[23:29] ---
    Because of that, she's starting
    to speak little by little!
[23:32] ---
    Hey, is that right?
[23:35] ---
    Sounds peaceful.
[23:37] ---
    This rice dumpling tastes great, too!
[23:39] ---
    Yeah, yeah, I hear you, okay? But...
[23:42] ---
    if that yellow-haired kid comes around,
    there's going to be trouble, right?
[23:49] ---
    Ouch!
[23:53] ---
    Oh my, Mr. Zenitsu!
[23:55] ---
    Are you back from your mission?
[23:58] ---
    Kiyo! I'm back!
[24:00] ---
    Everyone! Mr. Zenitsu's back!
[24:06] ---
    Oh!
[24:08] ---
    Mr. Zenitsu!
    Thank you for your hard work!
[24:12] ---
    - Thank you for your hard work!
    - Thank you for your hard work!
[24:14] ---
    Kiyo! Naho! Sumi!
[24:16] ---
    You've gathered here just for me, huh?
[24:19] ---
    Man, this one was another doozy...
[24:21] ---
    and I thought, "I'm gonna die!
    I'm gonna die!" over and over!
[24:24] ---
    But then I thought how devastated
    you'd all be if I did die...
[24:28] ---
    so I pushed through it!
[24:29] ---
    I mean, you'd be sad without me, right?
[24:32] ---
    Not really, no!
[24:33] ---
    Huh?
[24:35] ---
    But we're glad you've returned alive!
[24:39] ---
    Uh, yeah.
[24:45] ---
    Oh, Mr. Zenitsu... So, you're back?
[24:49] ---
    Thank you for your hard work.
[24:50] ---
    Ms. Aoi!
[24:52] ---
    You missed me
    while I was gone, didn't you?
[24:55] ---
    Right? You missed me, didn't you?
[24:57] ---
    I don't know if I'd put it like that.
[25:09] ---
    W-Welcome home!
[25:17] ---
    So loud!
[25:19] ---
    W-Welcome back!
[25:21] ---
    You're so adorable I'm gonna die!
[25:23] ---
    Oh, please, go right ahead!
[25:25] ---
    What's going on with you, Nezuko?
    You're actually talking!
[25:28] ---
    For me? You worked at it for me, right?
[25:31] ---
    That makes me so happy!
[25:33] ---
    Please go somewhere else!
[25:35] ---
    Does this mean you and I
    are getting married at last?
[25:38] ---
    Get away from her!
[25:40] ---
    You were a lovely sight to see
    in the moonlight,
[25:42] ---
    but in the sunlight,
    you're crazy gorgeous! Magnificent!
[25:45] ---
    When we're married, I'll see to it
    that you have sushi and eel every day,
[25:48] ---
    so you can marry me with no worries!
[25:52] ---
    Welcome home, Inosuke!
[25:58] ---
    "I... nosuke"?
[26:01] ---
    Inosuke, welcome home!
[26:05] ---
    Where is that guy?
[26:07] ---
    I think I'll go kill him!
[26:09] ---
    Don't talk like that!
[26:11] ---
    Come to think of it,
    where's that boar head boy?
[26:14] ---
    Inosuke?
[26:16] ---
    Huh? He was around this morning.
[26:19] ---
    Your little sister has been getting schooled
    by the boar head.
[26:23] ---
    What would that be?
[26:25] ---
    What would it be?
[26:27] ---
    Inosuke, Inosuke, Inosuke, Inosuke!
[26:29] ---
    Imosuke, Imofuke!
[26:31] ---
    Big Boss Inosuke!
[26:33] ---
    Big Boss Imosuke!
[26:34] ---
    Inosuke, Inosuke, Inosuke, Inosuke!
[26:37] ---
    And he was intent
    on making her learn his name.
[26:40] ---
    Really? I had no idea that was going on!
[26:43] ---
    By the way, do you have
    any more of these rice dumplings?
[26:47] ---
    You're not done eating yet?
[26:57] ---
    Hey!
[26:59] ---
    Mr. Haganezuka!
[27:02] ---
    Have your wounds healed?
[27:05] ---
    Thank goodness!
[27:11] ---
    Are you not feeling all right?
[27:16] ---
    Oh, my sword.
[27:18] ---
    Thank you very much.
[27:22] ---
    That's Mr. Rengoku's sword guard!
[27:25] ---
    Thank you very much...
[27:28] ---
    for protecting Kotetsu.
[27:30] ---
    Why don't you sit down now?
[27:32] ---
    Are you all right?
[27:39] ---
    Bla... Bla... Bla...
[27:41] ---
    Blade? Yes, I'll look
    at the sword blade, too!
[27:48] ---
    Oh!
[27:55] ---
    Wow!
[27:57] ---
    It's an even deeper shade
    of pitch black!
[28:00] ---
    That's some high-quality steel there...
[28:02] ---
    so the swordsman who wielded it
    must've been exceptionally strong.
[28:07] ---
    DESTROY
[28:08] ---
    The character for "destroy"...
[28:10] ---
    The swordsmith who forged this
    meant for it to destroy all demons!
[28:16] ---
    He didn't even engrave his name
    as its creator! Just this one character!
[28:22] ---
    DESTROYER OF DEMONS
[28:22] ---
    The hierarchy system started
    after this sword was forged, I'm told,
[28:26] ---
    and only the Hashira came to have the words
    "Destroyer of Demons" engraved on their swords.
[28:31] ---
    I didn't know that!
    So, it's an amazing sword!
[28:34] ---
    But when I fought in the previous battle,
    I don't remember seeing this character.
[28:39] ---
    Hah!
[28:41] ---
    I told you... that's because I hadn't even
    finished the first stage of honing...
[28:45] ---
    when you guys took it away and used it!
[28:48] ---
    I hadn't removed all the rust yet, okay?
[28:51] ---
    I'm gonna kill you!
[28:53] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[28:54] ---
    My wounds still haven't fully healed,
    and I can't stop my tears from flowing!
[28:58] ---
    Man, it hurts so bad,
    I can't take it anymore!
[29:01] ---
    Thanks to all the interruptions, I had to start
    honing again from scratch, all right?
[29:07] ---
    Yeah, but in terms of severity,
    the kid's injuries are just as bad as yours.
[29:11] ---
    I mean, the bones in his body
    got totally pulverized.
[29:18] ---
    I'm gonna kill you!
[29:20] ---
    Can't you have a conversation?
[29:22] ---
    Listen to me, Tanjiro!
[29:23] ---
    You're gonna bring me rice dumplings
    until the day you die!
[29:27] ---
    You hear me? Do you understand?
[29:29] ---
    Y-Yes! I'll bring them to you!
[29:32] ---
    Thank you so much!
[29:34] ---
    Please take care!
[29:36] ---
    I've heard the rumors about him,
    but he sure is a piece of work.
[29:41] ---
    He was awfully mild today.
[29:43] ---
    It looks like he's in a lot of pain.
[29:45] ---
    Seriously?
[29:47] ---
    Can you be any noisier?
[29:49] ---
    Hey...
[29:50] ---
    Sorry, Genya.
[29:52] ---
    We're done now.
[29:53] ---
    Sorry to make such a—
[30:03] ---
    Whoa! Inosuke!
[30:05] ---
    What are you doing,
    breaking the window?
[30:09] ---
    Are you a moron or what?
    Lady Kocho's going to kill you!
[30:14] ---
    Shut up!
[30:15] ---
    Comin' through!
[30:18] ---
    I wish they'd put me in another room.
[30:21] ---
    Training, training, training!
[30:23] ---
    The group strength training program
    is about to start!
[30:27] ---
    The group strength training?
[30:28] ---
    The strongest will gather and give training...
[30:32] ---
    and something or other, they said!
[30:34] ---
    Huh? What's that about?
[30:36] ---
    I have no idea!
[30:38] ---
    I see.
[30:44] ---
    As far as the Hashira Training
    for the Demon Slayer swordsmen is concerned...
[30:47] ---
    I think we've worked out
    most of the details of our strategy.
[30:51] ---
    What about the duration and start date?
[30:55] ---
    Let us start in three days' time.
[30:57] ---
    That's so soon. Can we do that?
[31:00] ---
    We have no time to lose.
[31:03] ---
    As we have no way of knowing
    what moves Muzan Kibutsuji will be making...
[31:08] ---
    I'd like us to be prepared
    in every possible way.
[31:11] ---
    If the demons start running rampant again...
[31:16] ---
    it will be too much
    for us Hashira to handle.
[31:20] ---
    But what if the demons strike
    while we're training?
[31:25] ---
    We can assume that the demons' focus
    will be on capturing Nezuko Kamado.
[31:31] ---
    As a matter of fact, ever since the incident
    at the Swordsmith Village,
[31:35] ---
    demon sightings have dwindled considerably.
[31:38] ---
    If that's the case...
[31:40] ---
    as Hashira, we never had any time until now
    to train anyone but our own Tsuguko...
[31:46] ---
    but over a short span, it will be a chance to go all out
    to raise the bar of the entire Demon Slayer Corps.
[31:53] ---
    This is a crucial, pressing need.
[31:57] ---
    Crucial.
[31:58] ---
    Due to this line of thinking,
    I have proposed this Hashira Training.
[32:05] ---
    Mr. Himejima...
[32:07] ---
    You don't have to go on and on about it.
[32:10] ---
    I am also in agreement.
[32:12] ---
    I have no objections, either.
[32:15] ---
    Neither do I.
[32:17] ---
    I'm fine with it, too!
[32:20] ---
    Can the training be handled
    by just us active Hashira?
[32:25] ---
    I'm thinking of asking the retired Hashira
    to help out, as well.
[32:29] ---
    No objections to that, either?
[32:31] ---
    None, of course.
[32:33] ---
    All that's left...
[32:36] ---
    is Mr. Tomioka, right?
[32:44] ---
    I finally get back from my mission,
    and now we have to train.
[32:48] ---
    This is so miserable.
[32:49] ---
    Are you heading there now, Zenitsu?
[32:51] ---
    That's right. We're going to train
    under every Hashira one by one!
[32:56] ---
    What, really? That's great!
[32:59] ---
    There's nothing great about it.
    It's awful! It's hell!
[33:03] ---
    Whoever came up with this idea?
    Just die, will you?
[33:05] ---
    Hey!
[33:06] ---
    Getting to train with someone ranked above you
    is a shortcut to improving your skills!
[33:12] ---
    When you take on someone
    stronger than you...
[33:14] ---
    you absorb it all,
    and that makes you stronger!
[33:23] ---
    If you're going to spew such positive drivel,
    as of today, you and I are no longer friends!
[33:28] ---
    Ow, ow, ow!
[33:29] ---
    It's all well and good for you!
[33:30] ---
    Since your broken bones haven't healed yet,
    you get to lie in that comfy bed all day!
[33:34] ---
    But I have to head out there now!
[33:36] ---
    Do you understand how that feels?
[33:39] ---
    Sorry!
[33:41] ---
    Hah!
[33:43] ---
    Hey, Zenitsu!
[33:44] ---
    Don't even think about talking to me!
[33:46] ---
    No, wait a second!
[33:48] ---
    I forgot to tell you something.
[33:50] ---
    Thanks!
[33:54] ---
    During the battle against Upper Four...
[33:56] ---
    when I could no longer use one of my legs...
[33:59] ---
    I used the Thunder Breathing technique
    you once taught me...
[34:03] ---
    and that's how I was able
    to behead the demon!
[34:07] ---
    Of course, I couldn't do it
    as fast as you...
[34:10] ---
    but really, thanks!
[34:13] ---
    See, there are times when your connections
    to others can get you out of a jam...
[34:17] ---
    so everything you learn
    during Hashira Training...
[34:20] ---
    will probably lead you
    to a brighter future.
[34:29] ---
    Oh, you dummy!
[34:30] ---
    Just don't think that saying stuff like that
    will put me in a better mood!
[34:34] ---
    Hey, he's in a good mood!
[34:35] ---
    Thank goodness!
[34:37] ---
    See you, Tanjiro! Feel better soon!
[34:39] ---
    Seriously! Everyone's so helpless
    without me around!
[34:48] ---
    Really, thank you so much...
[34:50] ---
    Zenitsu.
[34:56] ---
    Too slow! Too slow! Too slow! Too slow!
[35:02] ---
    What the hell are you doing, you punks?
[35:04] ---
    This makes no sense whatsoever!
[35:08] ---
    For starters, you're sorely lacking
    in basic physical stamina!
[35:10] ---
    Running is such a simple task!
[35:12] ---
    Faster! Move like you're being chased by a demon!
[35:18] ---
    All right, now! What, you're speechless?
[35:20] ---
    Who told you to crawl on your belly?
[35:22] ---
    It's not break time yet!
[35:23] ---
    Go do another lap!
[35:26] ---
    I'm done.
[35:27] ---
    What am I gonna do with you?
[35:29] ---
    The training by the currently active Hashira
    will be even harsher than this!
[35:33] ---
    Lord Tengen does seem
    so much more alive on the front lines.
[35:37] ---
    Sure, why wouldn't he be?
[35:39] ---
    We've got to help him as much as we can!
[35:41] ---
    They'll be famished,
    so let's make tons and tons of rice balls!
[35:46] ---
    - Right!
    - Right!
[35:57] ---
    Lord Tengen!
[35:58] ---
    Lunch is ready!
[36:00] ---
    Okay!
[36:02] ---
    Hey, you guys, it's lunchtime!
[36:05] ---
    I can't...
[36:06] ---
    I can't even think of eating!
[36:10] ---
    How pathetic are you?
[36:12] ---
    Lord Tengen, don't be so angry with them.
[36:16] ---
    I wish I didn't have to...
[36:18] ---
    but if I send them like this to the next Hashira,
    they're gonna lay all the blame on me.
[36:23] ---
    Here you go, Lord Tengen.
[36:24] ---
    Right!
[36:25] ---
    Miso soup loaded with salt!
[36:30] ---
    This is nothing compared
    to their training sessions! Seriously!
[36:35] ---
    You're in charge of boosting
    their basic physical stamina, right?
[36:39] ---
    What kind of training
    do they have in store after this?
[36:42] ---
    Well, after this...
[36:44] ---
    first, they'll undergo
    Tokito's Rapid Movement Training.
[36:47] ---
    That guy can have a deadpan look
    on his face while being super-harsh.
[36:51] ---
    Next up is Kanroji's
    Flexibility Training from hell.
[36:55] ---
    Then, it's on to Iguro.
[36:57] ---
    He'll rework their sword skills.
[36:59] ---
    That serpent's one incessant trainer!
[37:01] ---
    Then, we have Shinazugawa.
[37:03] ---
    I hear it's called
    "Infinite Slashing Training"...
[37:05] ---
    but just as the name implies,
    there'll be no end to it, I bet.
[37:08] ---
    Last but not least, Mister Himejima's
    Muscle Amplification Training.
[37:12] ---
    No choice but to become superhuman
    at that point.
[37:15] ---
    For the Hashira, too, since they'll be taking on
    an endless stream of Demon Slayer swordsmen,
[37:20] ---
    they can count on boosting
    their own physical stamina!
[37:24] ---
    Well? Flashy, isn't it?
[37:27] ---
    I sure would've liked to try my hand
    at all-out training, too.
[37:32] ---
    I'm counting on you, you guys.
[37:36] ---
    Come on, guys!
[37:40] ---
    At this rate,
    my temperature's never gonna go up!
[37:44] ---
    You're so damn weak!
[37:48] ---
    That's right! Just keep that up!
[37:50] ---
    Let's spread them a little more, okay?
[37:54] ---
    There's no telling
    where the enemy will attack from.
[38:00] ---
    Feel it.
[38:03] ---
    Your stance is so full of holes, a demon
    would've devoured you three times by now.
[38:08] ---
    In order to maintain my marked state...
[38:12] ---
    Look, you're vulnerable from the side.
[38:18] ---
    Everyone, strive to do your best.
[38:21] ---
    This is all for the sake
    of destroying demons.
[38:24] ---
    We do this...
[38:25] ---
    for the Master's sake.
[38:27] ---
    For the sake of all the Demon Slayer swordsmen
    who've lost their lives.
[38:31] ---
    For the sake of all living people.
[38:35] ---
    We must see this through to the end.
[38:38] ---
    We must strive.
[38:48] ---
    What's going on?
[38:55] ---
    Ow! I'm bleeding!
[38:58] ---
    What's this all of a sudden?
    How could you?
[39:02] ---
    Rush! Rush!
[39:04] ---
    This is a letter from the Master.
    Read it without delay.
[39:08] ---
    A letter? To me? He took the time to...
[39:10] ---
    Huh?
[39:11] ---
    What is it?
[39:16] ---
    Mr. Tomioka...
[39:18] ---
    is not taking part
    in the Hashira Training?
[39:37] ---
    Master Kagaya...
[39:39] ---
    It seems that the Hashira,
    to prepare for the coming battle,
[39:43] ---
    have started a Hashira Training program
    for the Demon Slayer swordsmen.
[39:48] ---
    Your children...
[39:50] ---
    are carrying out your will...
[39:53] ---
    and are making sure
    that your hopes live on.
[39:57] ---
    For the sake of your ardent desire
    to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji...
[40:00] ---
    they are willingly taking the next steps.
[40:09] ---
    Amane...
[40:12] ---
    Yes?
[40:16] ---
    For all that you've done...
[40:18] ---
    thank you...
    from the bottom of my heart.
[40:31] ---
    Yes!
[41:01] ---
    STATE OF PROGRESS
[41:18] ---
    Good evening, Ms. Tamayo.
[41:27] ---
    It's dangerous, you know.
[41:29] ---
    Leaving your window open at night.
[41:36] ---
    But tonight, the moon
    is truly gorgeous to behold.
[41:41] ---
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[41:42] ---
    I'm one of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's messengers.
[41:48] ---
    But really, you're quite adept at hiding.
[41:53] ---
    In the time that it took to find you,
    Ubuyashiki has become immobile.
[41:59] ---
    How did you find this place?
[42:04] ---
    That would be due to human connections.
[42:06] ---
    I was able to identify the former owner
    of this house you've purchased.
[42:11] ---
    Not only that, but I kept an eye
    on Yushiro during the day.
[42:18] ---
    I may have received training...
[42:21] ---
    but I am a mere crow.
[42:23] ---
    No one would ever be that wary of me.
[42:27] ---
    As I have no intention of harming you,
    please rest assured.
[42:33] ---
    Then, what is it that you want with me?
[42:37] ---
    Hmm.
[42:38] ---
    You're full of suspicion.
[42:41] ---
    I don't blame you.
[42:43] ---
    It would be hard to gain
    your trust like Tanjiro has.
[42:48] ---
    Just as I thought.
[42:51] ---
    What does he intend to do?
[42:53] ---
    Ubuyashiki...
[42:55] ---
    Is he trying to deceive me somehow?
[42:59] ---
    Where is Yushiro?
[43:00] ---
    You need not worry about Yushiro.
[43:04] ---
    Listen.
[43:06] ---
    You can hear his footsteps
    running toward us.
[43:10] ---
    And now...
[43:12] ---
    shall I state my business?

    There is a girl in the Demon Slayer Corps...
[43:19] ---
    who is also well-versed
    in demon physiology and pharmaceuticals.
[43:23] ---
    Along with looking into the changes to Nezuko,
    we want you to collaborate with her.
[43:31] ---
    Will you work with us
    to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji?
[43:36] ---
    Please come to the Ubuyashiki Mansion.
[43:40] ---
    You're summoning me, a demon...
[43:43] ---
    to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters?

    TO DEFEAT MUZAN KIBUTSUJI
[47:55] ---
    PART 1
[47:56] ---
    Every week during the Hashira Training Arc...
[47:58] ---
    I'm going to let you in on a Taisho-era secret
    about each Hashira!
[48:03] ---
    Inosuke?
[48:05] ---
    What are you going to do
    about this broken glass?
[48:08] ---
    Yeah, but...
[48:10] ---
    Bad boy!
[48:12] ---
    You're always positive,
    and that's what I like about you...
[48:16] ---
    but there are things that you mustn't do.
[48:19] ---
    Now, then, hold up your arm.
[48:21] ---
    Let me tend to your wound.
[48:23] ---
    Don't ever do anything
    like this again, all right?
[48:27] ---
    Howa... Howa...
[48:30] ---
    Ms. Shinobu is strict
    when she needs to be...
[48:33] ---
    but she's bursting with compassion.
[48:35] ---
    Like at the Hashira Meeting the other day.
[48:39] ---
    Ms. Kanroji?
[48:41] ---
    Huh? Oh, thank you!
[48:43] ---
    You're welcome.
[48:46] ---
    That's it for today's Taisho-era secret!
[48:49] ---
