[00:03] ---
    Most important of all is your body's core.
[00:07] ---
    Your lower body.
[00:10] ---
    If you stabilize yourself
    with a robust lower body,
[00:13] ---
    it will lead to accurate attacks
    and unwavering defense.
[00:18] ---
    You'll start off by cold plunging
    in the waterfall...
[00:22] ---
    I'm going to die!
[00:24] ---
    ...after which you'll lift up these three logs.
[00:27] OS
    DESTROY
[00:28] ---
    Really big.
[00:30] ---
    And finally, you'll push this boulder,
    transporting it one cho away.
[00:35] OS
    ONE CHO = 358 FEET
[00:37] ---
    My training consists
    of these three simple tasks.
[00:43] ---
    As it would be dangerous to roast you with fire
    from below, I have scratched that one.
[00:47] ---
    Excuse me!
[00:49] ---
    Zenitsu has fainted!
[00:52] ---
    Put him in the river.

    EPISODE 6:
    THE STRONGEST OF THE DEMON SLAYER CORPS
[02:35] ---
    It's freezing!
[02:38] ---
    A river in wintertime!
    How can that not be beyond too cold?
[02:42] ---
    I'm going to die! I'm about to puke!
[02:43] ---
    - Zenitsu!
    - L-Land... L-Land...
[02:46] ---
    Hey, my internal organs are going haywire!
[02:48] ---
    They're screaming!
    They're crying out that they're dying!
[02:51] ---
    N-Nooo!
[02:53] ---
    I-It's no good! I'm out of the water,
    but it's too late! I'm going to freeze to death!
[02:58] ---
    Huh?
[03:01] ---
    Long time no see, you guys.
[03:04] ---
    Cling to the... boulders.
[03:07] ---
    It's nice and warm.
[03:14] ---
    I-It's so warm!
[03:16] ---
    I never knew that boulders were this warm!
[03:19] ---
    It's like I'm being held in my mother's arms!
[03:24] ---
    Momma!
[03:27] ---
    Momma!
[03:30] ---
    Ugh!
[03:31] ---
    It's super cold!
[03:32] ---
    This is really tough!
[03:34] ---
    Waterfall training is harsh!
[03:38] ---
    Comin' through... Comin' through...
[03:41] ---
    Comin' through... Comin' through...
[03:43] ---
    Namu... Ami... da...
[03:43] ---
    Comin' through... Comin' through...
    Comin' through...
[03:46] ---
    It's not working!
[03:47] ---
    Inosuke's giving it his all!
[03:50] ---
    I should, too!
[03:52] ---
    Huh?
[03:54] ---
    I can't hear him chanting anymore.
[03:57] ---
    Huh? Inosuke?
[03:58] ---
    Ino... Hey, this is bad! Really bad!
[04:01] ---
    Inosuke! Wake up, Inosuke!
[04:03] ---
    Wake up! Inosuke, wake up!
[04:07] ---
    Did you call me, Manjiro?
[04:09] ---
    Inosuke!
[04:13] ---
    Comin' through...
[04:15] ---
    This waterfall...
[04:19] ---
    It's not just any waterfall!
[04:20] ---
    Whatever you do, don't stop
    chanting the nenbutsu!
[04:24] ---
    Sure, it's good for focusing, but it's also
    a signal that you're conscious, okay?
[04:30] ---
    Right!
[04:31] ---
    Namu Amida Butsu...
[04:33] ---
    Namu Amida Butsu... Namu Amida Butsu...
[04:33] ---
    The water's cold...
[04:35] ---
    and heavy!
[04:37] ---
    No good! You can't fall silent!
[04:39] ---
    Nenbutsu, Nenbutsu...
[04:41] ---
    Nenbutsu, Nenbutsu, Nenbutsu...
[04:41] ---
    Namu Amida Butsu... Namu Amida Butsu...
[04:51] ---
    Freezing!
[04:55] ---
    We're just standing under the waterfall,
    but it sure is harsh!
[05:00] ---
    Who knew that water cascading down
    from so high could feel that heavy?
[05:03] ---
    If you relax your body,
    you could break your neck!
[05:07] ---
    No, no! Both you and that boar are amazing!
[05:10] ---
    My first day, it took me until evening
    to get the hang of this waterfall training!
[05:14] ---
    I just couldn't get used to the water!
[05:16] ---
    Now that I'm able to stay
    under the waterfall for two hours,
[05:20] ---
    I'm moving on to the log training!
[05:23] ---
    Th-Th-That's great, Mr. Murata!
[05:26] ---
    W-Well...
[05:27] ---
    I've been here for ten days.
[05:37] ---
    That guy's insane!
    The Old Guy with the Rattlin' Beads!
[05:40] ---
    You mean Mr. Himejima, the Stone Hashira?
[05:43] ---
    You shouldn't give him
    a weird nickname like that.
[05:45] ---
    The moment I first met him,
    he gave me the chills!
[05:48] ---
    Wait, you're eating it
    bones and all, Inosuke?
[05:50] ---
    Yeah! Aren't you eating yours?
    They're really crunchy and tasty!
[05:54] ---
    Wow! Of all the people I know, no one
    eats a fish cleaner than you, Inosuke!
[06:01] ---
    Well, what can I say?
    I am the King of the Mountains after all!
[06:04] ---
    You bet I do!
[06:04] ---
    Huh?
[06:05] ---
    Are you going to be okay?
    That's your tenth fish!
[06:09] ---
    So, anyway, about the Old Guy
    with the Rattlin' Beads...
[06:13] ---
    You mean Mr. Himejima, the Stone Hashira.
[06:16] ---
    There's no doubt in my mind.
[06:18] ---
    He's the strongest
    of the Demon Slayer Corps.
[06:21] ---
    Hey, so he is, is he?
[06:23] ---
    Huh?
[06:24] ---
    Is that true?
[06:25] ---
    Mr. Himejima's scent
    is totally different than anyone else's.
[06:28] ---
    I wonder if his mark has already shown up.
[06:31] ---
    I wouldn't be surprised if it has.
[06:33] ---
    I just can't keep up with these conversations
    by guys who shoot up the ranks so fast.

[06:38] ---
    Normally, you wouldn't have a clue!
    What they're talking about is so next-level!

[06:43] ---
    Also, the fish that Tanjiro
    grilled are excellent!

[06:45] ---
    I don't believe him.
[06:48] ---
    I bet that old guy can't even move
    a boulder like that one cho himself!
[06:53] ---
    He's just having a blast
    tormenting us young guys!
[06:55] ---
    No. I hear that Mr. Himejima can push
    even bigger boulders than that one.
[07:01] ---
    Do you believe whatever you hear
    just like that?
[07:03] ---
    You're being deceived.
[07:05] ---
    Uh, no.
[07:06] ---
    Your hearing's great, Zenitsu.
[07:08] ---
    So, I'm sure you can tell
    if he's lying or not, right?
[07:14] ---
    Namu Amida Butsu... Namu Amida Butsu...
[07:18] ---
    Oh, there he is right now!
[07:20] ---
    Wow!
[07:22] ---
    Mr. Himejima sure is strong!
[07:25] ---
    You think I'll ever get to be like him?
[07:28] ---
    In your dreams you will!
[07:28] OS
    IN YOUR DREAMS
[07:31] ---
    What are you, a moron?
    Hello, is anyone home in there?
[07:31] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[07:36] ---
    That old guy is abnormal, okay?
    Look at him, he's gigantic like a bear!
[07:40] ---
    But...
[07:41] ---
    Shut up! There's a gap between giants
    and little people from birth!
[07:45] ---
    You get that, don't you?
[07:47] ---
    Yeah, now that I'm full...
[07:49] ---
    I'm gonna lift up some logs
    and shove a boulder!
[07:52] ---
    Jeez, you're all so positive!
[07:54] ---
    This is no place for me!
[07:55] ---
    Now, now...
[07:57] ---
    Let's go!
[07:58] ---
    Now, now...
[07:59] ---
    - Nenbutsu, Nenbutsu, Nenbutsu...
    - Namu Amida Butsu... Namu Amida Butsu...
[08:04] ---
    Namu Amida Butsu...
    Namu Amida Butsu...
[08:05] ---
    Zenitsu!
[08:06] ---
    Namu Amida Butsu...
    Namu Amida Butsu...
[08:09] ---
    Hey! Zenitsu!
[08:11] ---
    Namu Amida Butsu...
    Namu Amida Butsu...
[08:18] ---
    - Whoa!
    - Whoa!
[08:21] ---
    Training, completed!
[08:36] ---
    Log lift, completed!
[08:41] ---
    And now...
[08:43] ---
    at last...
[08:57] OS
    PHARMACY
[09:03] OS
    DESTROY
[09:07] OS
    FOUR
[09:10] ---
    I have found one more.
[09:13] ---
    So, I have located around 60 percent
    of those Demon Slayers.
[09:19] ---
    However, I have yet to find the girl
    who's conquered the sun.
[09:25] ---
    Nakime...
[09:26] ---
    You've grown even more
    than I ever imagined.
[09:31] ---
    How splendid.
[09:44] ---
    Nakime...
[09:46] ---
    You've grown even more
    than I ever imagined.
[09:51] ---
    How splendid.
[09:53] ---
    I am honored to hear that.
[09:56] ---
    Let's see what's left.
[09:59] ---
    Around here?
[10:01] ---
    Understood.
[10:19] ---
    We found another one.
[10:22] ---
    Just keep following him.
[10:25] ---
    Understood.
[10:38] ---
    Both Nezuko and Ubuyashiki...
[10:40] ---
    It won't be long until I find them.
[10:52] ---
    My legs keep slipping back!
[10:55] ---
    I'm losing ground!
[11:05] ---
    Ouch, ouch, ouch...
[11:10] ---
    Should I go back and fix that?
[11:14] ---
    Hey...
[11:15] ---
    Good morning!
[11:16] ---
    Hey, Kamado...
[11:19] ---
    We're heading back down the mountain.
    We just can't keep up with this.
[11:24] ---
    Sorry. We feel guilty, bailing like this now.
[11:28] ---
    But...
[11:29] ---
    we'll be moving to a sustainment
    support role for you guys.
[11:33] ---
    We're counting on you, Kamado.
[11:36] ---
    Right.
[11:37] ---
    I'm counting on you, too.
[11:41] ---
    What, on us?
[11:43] ---
    If you provide us with sustainment support,
    we can fight the demons without any worries!
[11:49] ---
    All of us Demon Slayers standing together,
    let's go for Muzan Kibutsuji's head!
[11:54] ---
    You got it! Leave the backup to us!
[11:57] ---
    Roger that, Kamado!
[11:58] ---
    We got this!
[12:04] ---
    I have to...
[12:06] ---
    do what I have to do!
[12:15] ---
    Wow!
[12:17] ---
    Tanjiro, you sure are good at making those!
[12:19] ---
    You said it! They're totally triangular!
[12:21] ---
    Since we've been running ourselves ragged,
    I added some extra salt.
[12:26] ---
    Thank you all for waiting!
[12:28] ---
    Here you go!
[12:29] ---
    Wow!
[12:33] ---
    Man, this is good!
[12:35] ---
    Really hits the spot!
[12:36] ---
    Yeah, so tasty!
[12:38] ---
    I realized something
    during this training session.
[12:42] ---
    Why hardly any of the current Hashira
    have Tsuguko.
[12:45] ---
    Why don't they?
[12:46] ---
    Yeah, I think I get it now, too.
[12:49] ---
    It's too exhausting,
    so they must all run off.
[12:52] ---
    Yeah.
[12:53] ---
    Or maybe like what happened
    with that blond guy.
[12:56] ---
    So devastated by the difference between himself
    and the Hashira, his soul's been crushed.
[12:59] ---
    Since they've been doing
    this kind of thing like it's nothing...
[13:03] ---
    Hashira really are incredible!
[13:05] ---
    Yes, they are.
[13:08] ---
    But seriously, you can cook rice
    like nobody else, huh?
[13:10] ---
    Tasty!
[13:12] ---
    Yeah! And you can grill fish like a boss!
[13:15] ---
    Well, I'm the son of a charcoal burner!
[13:16] OS
    SMUG!
[13:17] ---
    Oh, no wonder!
[13:19] ---
    Cooking is all about the right heat!
[13:22] ---
    Roasted rice balls are good, too!
[13:25] ---
    Way to go, Tanjiro!
[13:28] ---
    Please eat as much as you want!
[13:31] ---
    It tastes great!
    This miso-flavored one is awesome!
[13:34] ---
    I'm starting to tear up.
[13:35] ---
    I know! It tastes
    like your mom's cooking, right?
[13:38] ---
    Right! Right!
[13:40] ---
    Mom!
[13:41] ---
    Mother!
[13:44] ---
    Somehow...
[13:46] ---
    this kind of brings back memories.
[14:03] ---
    W-Water!
[14:08] ---
    No good today, either!
[14:10] ---
    It's been six days now!
    What am I going to do?

[14:13] ---
    It's not like the demons
    will stay inactive forever.

[14:16] ---
    There's no time to lose.
[14:19] ---
    Is it just that I don't have
    enough muscular strength?

[14:22] ---
    Or could there be
    another breathing technique?

[14:25] ---
    Even after all this training,
    I still can't maintain my mark!

[14:32] ---
    Hey you, is it me
    or did your mark get darker?
[14:35] ---
    Hey! Genya! Are you all right?
[14:38] ---
    I couldn't get a hold of you
    after what happened, so I was worried!
[14:41] ---
    I was under confinement.
[14:43] ---
    Mr. Himejima gave me an earful.
[14:46] ---
    Because of what happened even though
    I was told to stay away from my big brother.
[14:56] ---
    I see.
[14:58] ---
    Sorry I dragged you into that.
[15:01] ---
    Thanks for defending me.
[15:03] ---
    Oh, hey, come on!
[15:04] ---
    Anyway, about your mark...
[15:06] ---
    Oh, does it look like it's darker?
[15:09] ---
    Yeah.
[15:10] ---
    No one ever mentioned that to me!
[15:12] ---
    Well, if they're looking at it every day,
    they wouldn't be able to spot the difference.
[15:16] ---
    Don't you have a mirror?
[15:17] ---
    No.
[15:18] ---
    I'll lend you mine later.
[15:22] ---
    Did it really get darker?
[15:24] ---
    Thank goodness!
[15:25] ---
    That makes me happy!
[15:26] ---
    Die!
[15:28] ---
    Hah! Why don't you?
[15:30] ---
    So, you're doing
    the boulder training.
[15:32] ---
    So am I, you know.
[15:33] ---
    Yeah, but I can't get it to budge at all.
[15:36] ---
    Were you able to move it, Genya?
[15:38] ---
    Yeah, I can move it.
[15:39] ---
    What?
[15:41] ---
    Aren't you guys using repetitive motion?
[15:43] ---
    Huh?
[15:46] ---
    So, you're not, huh?
[15:48] ---
    Well, not that Mr. Himejima
    is exactly good at teaching it.
[15:51] ---
    You need to watch and learn
    and swipe it for yourself, all right?
[15:54] ---
    To enhance your concentration to the max...
[15:57] ---
    you perform a predetermined action.
[15:59] ---
    In my case, I chant the nenbutsu.
[16:02] ---
    That's what Mr. Himejima does, too!
[16:04] ---
    That's right! You've seen him
    saying "Namu, Namu," right?
[16:07] ---
    Namu.
[16:09] ---
    So long!
[16:10] ---
    Don't ever come here again!
[16:12] ---
    See you!
[16:13] ---
    Thanks, Genya! I'll give it a try!
[16:15] ---
    Don't overdo it, okay?
[16:18] ---
    Well, not that he's the kind of guy
    who'd listen anyway.
[16:24] ---
    One more time!
[16:36] ---
    Repetitive motion.
[16:39] ---
    Remember what Genya told you.
[16:42] ---
    You open up all of your senses at once.
[16:46] ---
    According to Mr. Himejima, even though
    I can't use breathing techniques,

[16:49] ---
    I can still move that boulder
    if I use repetitive motion.

[16:54] ---
    Well, not that I've made much headway yet.
[17:04] ---
    When Mr. Himejima and Genya use this...
[17:07] ---
    they revive their memories
    of being angry and in pain.

[17:10] ---
    By doing that, they increase
    their heart rate and body temperature!

[17:21] ---
    Dammit!
[17:22] ---
    Still a long way to go, huh?
[17:24] ---
    Tanjiro!
[17:26] ---
    Can you make dinner now?
[17:28] ---
    After tasting what you made,
    we can't eat anything else.
[17:33] ---
    Oh, it's dinnertime already?
[17:35] ---
    I'll be right there!
[17:37] ---
    Hey, Mom!
[17:38] ---
    Mom!
[17:43] ---
    Welcome back, Genya!
[17:45] ---
    I'll help out, too.
[17:47] ---
    Thanks!
[17:50] ---
    So?
[17:51] ---
    Were you able to use repetitive motion?
[17:53] ---
    Hmm...
[17:55] ---
    It seems like it's different
    than Total Concentration.
[17:58] ---
    It's like working up your emotions, I guess.
[18:01] ---
    Yeah.
[18:02] ---
    But... this is just a thought.
[18:05] ---
    Isn't the mark on your forehead
    a sign that you're in that same state?
[18:11] ---
    Yeah, but neither Mr. Himejima...
[18:13] ---
    and not even you, Genya, have a mark.
[18:15] ---
    You're right about that.
[18:18] ---
    - Hmm...
    - Hmm...
[18:22] ---
    Tanjiro...
[18:23] ---
    Huh?
[18:24] ---
    In your case, when is it
    that your emotions get really worked up?
[18:29] ---
    That would be...
[18:36] ---
    I don't know if it's something I said, but it looks
    like I reminded you about something sad.
[18:40] ---
    My bad.
[18:42] ---
    No.
[18:44] ---
    I know that you can do it.
[18:46] ---
    Thanks.
[19:00] ---
    By using repetitive motion, you can increase
    your concentration to the max anytime!

[19:07] ---
    My repetitive motion is...
[19:09] ---
    to first picture the faces
    of my loved ones.

[19:14] ---
    And also...
[19:16] ---
    to recall Mr. Rengoku's words.
[19:20] ---
    "Set your heart ablaze"!
[19:36] ---
    When my mark shows up dark...
[19:39] ---
    I hope I can learn to maintain this!
[19:43] ---
    Hey, it's Gonpachiro!
[19:45] ---
    That guy!
[19:46] ---
    So, he's started training at this hour
    when the sun hasn't even come up yet?
[19:50] ---
    He won't last the day.
[19:52] ---
    I'm not going to let him beat me!
[20:06] ---
    Though I couldn't do it at first...
[20:13] ---
    I exerted all my strength
    through repetitive motion!

[20:16] ---
    After repeating that over...
