[00:25] ---
    How?
[00:29] ---
    How did this happen?
[00:34] ---
    Nezuko, don't die! Don't die on me!
[00:39] ---
    I'm gonna save you no matter what!
[00:43] ---
    I won't let you die!
[00:46] ---
    I swear your big brother will save you
    no matter what!
[01:03] ---
    Tanjiro?
[01:07] ---
    Your face is covered in soot.
[01:10] ---
    Come over here.
[01:14] ---
    It's dangerous with all this snow.
    You don't have to go, you know.
[01:18] ---
    Well, I want everyone
    to eat their fill on New Year's,
[01:23] ---
    so I'm gonna sell
    as much charcoal as I can.
[01:26] ---
    Thank you.
[01:29] ---
    Big Bro!
[01:32] ---
    You're going to town again today?
[01:34] ---
    I'm going with you!
[01:38] ---
    Oh no, you're not.
[01:39] ---
    You know you can't walk fast like Tanjiro.
[01:42] ---
    Mom!
[01:44] ---
    You may not.
[01:45] ---
    Since he can't use the cart today,
[01:48] ---
    he won't be able to give you
    a ride when you're tired.
[01:53] ---
    Big Bro!
[01:56] ---
    I wanna go with you!
[01:58] ---
    I promise I'll help you!
[02:01] ---
    Thanks, Hanako.
[02:03] ---
    But you're staying home today.
[02:09] ---
    You, too, Shigeru.
    But I'll get you tons of goodies, okay?
[02:14] ---
    Really?
[02:15] ---
    Yeah.
[02:18] ---
    And Hanako, I'll read for you
    when I'm back.
[02:21] ---
    Okay!
[02:22] ---
    That's a good girl.
[02:23] ---
    Thank you so much, Tanjiro.
[02:25] ---
    Sure.
[02:27] ---
    Okay, I'll be heading out now.
[02:29] ---
    Takeo...
[02:30] ---
    Will you chop as much wood as you can?
[02:34] ---
    Sure, I'll do it, but...
[02:38] ---
    I was hoping we could do it together.
[02:42] ---
    There, there.
[02:43] ---
    What's with that all of a sudden?
[02:45] ---
    You're blushing, Take!
[02:47] ---
    Hey, you shut up!
[02:48] ---
    There, there.
[02:50] ---
    I said cut it out!
[02:56] ---
    Hurry back, okay?
[02:59] ---
    Be safe, okay?
[03:06] ---
    Big Brother!
[03:09] ---
    Hey, Nezuko.
[03:10] ---
    I was putting Rokuta down for a nap,
    or he'd make a scene when you leave.
[03:15] ---
    He misses Dad a lot
    after he passed away.
[03:21] ---
    And everyone follows you
    wherever you go.
[03:27] ---
    See you later!
[03:31] ---
    We don't have an easy life,
[03:34] ---
    but we're happy.
[03:36] ---
    But life could change suddenly
    like the weather.
[03:41] ---
    It shifts and moves on.
[03:44] ---
    It's not like it always stays sunny,
[03:47] ---
    and it's not like it ever snows endlessly.
[03:50] ---
    And...
[03:52] ---
    whenever happiness is destroyed,
[03:55] ---
    there's always...
[03:57] ---
    the smell of blood.
[04:07] ---
    Well now, Tanjiro!
[04:10] ---
    I can't believe you came down
    from the mountain on a day like this.
[04:13] ---
    You're such a hard worker!
[04:15] ---
    You might catch a cold, you know?
[04:17] ---
    This is nothing, really.
[04:18] ---
    Do you have enough charcoal?
[04:21] ---
    Hey, Tanjiro!
[04:24] ---
    Can I have some charcoal?
[04:26] ---
    Thanks for fixing
    my sliding doors the other day.
[04:30] ---
    I'll need some charcoal, too!
[04:36] ---
    Tanjiro!
[04:37] ---
    Oh man, perfect timing!
[04:40] ---
    I've been accused
    of breaking this plate!
[04:43] ---
    Help me out, will you?
[04:45] ---
    Sniff it!
[04:50] ---
    I smell a cat.
[04:52] ---
    You see?
[04:54] ---
    Oh my, so it was a cat?
[04:56] ---
    I told you it wasn't me!
[04:58] ---
    Tanjiro!
[05:00] ---
    Can you give me a hand
    with this luggage?
[05:07] ---
    Jeez, it's late already.
[05:10] ---
    I'm glad they're sold out, though.
[05:14] ---
    Hey, Tanjiro!
[05:18] ---
    Are you gonna go back to the mountain?
[05:20] ---
    You'd better not. It's too dangerous.
[05:22] ---
    I've got a great sense of smell,
    so I'll be fine.
[05:26] ---
    I'll put you up for the night.
[05:27] ---
    Come on. Get back here.
[05:31] ---
    But...
[05:32] ---
    Don't argue! Come on!
[05:34] ---
    Before the demons show up.
[05:50] ---
    Thanks for the meal!
[05:56] ---
    Hey, Granddad Saburo,
[05:59] ---
    what are demons like?
[06:02] ---
    Man-eating demons have always prowled
    the land once it gets dark.
[06:08] ---
    That's why you should
    never stroll around at night.
[06:12] ---
    If you're done eating, go to bed.
    You can set off for home at first light.
[06:20] ---
    These demons wouldn't come
    inside your house, would they?
[06:26] ---
    Yes, they'd come in.
[06:32] ---
    Then, everyone would get eaten up
    by the demons.
[06:38] ---
    That's why the demon hunters
    protect us by slaying them
[06:42] ---
    since way back when.
[06:46] ---
    Lights out now.
[06:48] ---
    Go to sleep.
[06:52] ---
    Old man Saburo is all alone
    after losing his whole family.
[06:56] ---
    So, he must be lonely.
[06:59] ---
    I'll bring my brothers
    and sisters next time,
[07:02] ---
    and say, "You don't have to be scared.
    There are no demons. You're safe."
[07:07] ---
    But, come to think of it,
[07:10] ---
    my grandma used to say the same thing
    when she was still alive.
[07:19] ---
    You be careful now.
[07:21] ---
    Okay!
[07:31] ---
    Whenever happiness is destroyed,
[07:34] ---
    there's always...
[07:42] ---
    The smell of blood!
[08:07] ---
    Nezuko!
[08:09] ---
    What happened? What's going on?
[08:12] ---
    What happened here?
[08:20] ---
    Mom...
[08:28] ---
    Mom...
[08:30] ---
    Hanako...
[08:32] ---
    Takeo...
[08:33] ---
    Shigeru...
[08:35] ---
    Nezuko...
[08:36] ---
    Rokuta...
[08:46] ---
    Nezuko's the only one who's still warm!
[08:50] ---
    If I can get her to a doctor,
    she might survive!
[08:53] ---
    How did this happen?
[08:56] ---
    Was it a bear?
[08:57] ---
    Was it a bear that wasn't able to hibernate?
[09:06] ---
    I can't breathe!
[09:08] ---
    The air's so icy! My lungs hurt!
[09:11] ---
    Keep moving forward!
[09:13] ---
    Move your legs faster!
[09:16] ---
    We still have a long way to go
    before we reach town.
[09:18] ---
    Hurry!
[09:21] ---
    I won't let you die!
[09:25] ---
    I'm gonna save you no matter what!
[09:27] ---
    I swear your big brother will save you
    no matter what!
[09:38] ---
    Oh no!
[09:48] ---
    I was saved by the snow.
[09:51] ---
    I slipped because of the snow
    to begin with.
[09:55] ---
    Nezuko?
[10:03] ---
    Nezuko, are you all right?
[10:07] ---
    You don't have to walk!
[10:08] ---
    I'll carry you to town, okay?
[10:11] ---
    Nezuko!
[10:22] ---
    Sh-She's...
[10:24] ---
    a demon!
[10:27] ---
    I just remembered
    what old man Saburo told me.
[10:31] ---
    Nezuko's a man-eating demon?
[10:34] ---
    No! Nezuko's a human
    ever since she was born!
[10:38] ---
    However, she no longer has
    Nezuko's scent.
[10:43] ---
    But it wasn't Nezuko's doing!
[10:46] ---
    She was lying
    as if she was protecting Rokuta,
[10:48] ---
    and there was no blood
    on her mouth or hands.
[10:52] ---
    And there was one more...
[10:53] ---
    There was one more scent!
[11:00] ---
    Sh-She just grew in size!
[11:04] ---
    And she's getting stronger and stronger!
[11:07] ---
    While I was sleeping carelessly
    at Saburo's house,
[11:10] ---
    they were murdered brutally like that!
[11:14] ---
    I know it must've hurt.
[11:15] ---
    You suffered, didn't you?
[11:18] ---
    I'm so sorry I couldn't save you.
[11:22] ---
    If only I could help Nezuko at least!
[11:25] ---
    But she's too strong
    for me to push her back!
[11:29] ---
    Nezuko!
[11:31] ---
    Hang in there, Nezuko!
[11:32] ---
    Don't give in!
[11:34] ---
    You gotta hang in there!
[11:37] ---
    Don't turn into a demon!
[11:39] ---
    You gotta stay strong!
[11:40] ---
    Hang in there!
[11:42] ---
    Hang in there!
[12:16] ---
    What the...
[12:22] ---
    Who's that?
[12:27] ---
    DESTROY DEMONS
[12:27] ---
    A sword?
[12:30] ---
    Why are you protecting it?
[12:31] ---
    She's my sister!
[12:33] ---
    She's my younger sister!
[12:37] ---
    Nezuko!
[12:42] ---
    You call that thing your sister?
[13:00] ---
    Nezuko!
[13:01] ---
    Don't move!
[13:06] ---
    My job is to slay demons.
[13:09] ---
    Needless to say,
    I'm going to decapitate your sister.
[13:13] ---
    Hold on!
[13:14] ---
    Nezuko hasn't killed anyone!
[13:17] ---
    Back at my house, there was another scent
    that I'd never smelled before!
[13:22] ---
    That's probably the one
    who killed my family!
[13:26] ---
    It wasn't Nezuko!
[13:28] ---
    I don't know why she turned
    into something like that, but...
[13:32] ---
    but still...
[13:33] ---
    It's quite simple.
[13:36] ---
    Because her wounds were exposed
    to demon blood, she turned into a demon.
[13:40] ---
    That's how man-eating demons multiply.
[13:44] ---
    Nezuko would never eat humans!
[13:47] ---
    You gotta be kidding.
[13:49] ---
    Just now, you were about to be devoured.
[13:53] ---
    You're wrong!
[13:54] ---
    I'm sure she knows who I am!
[13:57] ---
    I won't let her hurt anyone!
[13:59] ---
    I'm going to turn Nezuko
    back into a human!
[14:02] ---
    I swear I'll heal her!
[14:04] ---
    She can't be healed.
[14:06] ---
    Once you become a demon,
    you can never go back to being a human.
[14:09] ---
    I'll find a way no matter what!
    So, please...
[14:13] ---
    So, please don't kill her!
[14:15] ---
    I'll hunt down the one
    who slaughtered my family!
[14:18] ---
    I'll make everything all right!
[14:21] ---
    Please!
[14:22] ---
    Please!
[14:24] ---
    Don't do it!
[14:26] ---
    Don't take anyone else from me.
[14:31] ---
    I'm begging you not to!
[14:34] ---
    Please!
[14:35] ---
    Don't kill my little sister!
[14:39] ---
    Please don't do it!
[14:41] ---
    I'm begging you...
[14:51] ---
    Don't ever give others
    a chance to murder you!
[14:56] ---
    Stop that pathetic groveling!
[14:59] ---
    If it was the least bit effective,
    your family wouldn't be dead!
[15:04] ---
    Can a weakling who can't take the initiative
    in such a situation heal his sister?!
[15:09] ---
    Hunt down the enemy?!
[15:11] ---
    Don't make me laugh!
[15:13] ---
    The weak have no rights or choices!
[15:16] ---
    Their only fate is to be relentlessly
    crushed by the strong!
[15:20] ---
    The demons might know
    how to cure your sister!
[15:24] ---
    But don't think that a demon
    would respect your will or wishes!
[15:30] ---
    Naturally, I have no respect for you, either!
[15:32] ---
    That's reality!
[15:34] ---
    Why did you throw yourself
    over your sister earlier?
[15:37] ---
    Was that your way of protecting her?
[15:40] ---
    Why didn't you swing your hatchet?
[15:42] ---
    Why did you show your back to me?
[15:44] ---
    All those blunders led
    to your sister's capture!
[15:47] ---
    I could've skewered her along with you!
[15:53] ---
    Don't cry.
[15:55] ---
    Don't despair.
[15:57] ---
    Now's not the time for that.
[16:00] ---
    I know you're devastated.
[16:03] ---
    Your family was massacred,
    and your sister's become a demon.
[16:06] ---
    I know it's painful.
[16:08] ---
    I know you want to scream.
[16:11] ---
    I get it.
[16:13] ---
    If only I'd gotten here a half-day sooner,
[16:17] ---
    your family might not have ended up dead.
[16:20] ---
    But there's no way to turn back time.
[16:25] ---
    Feel the rage.
[16:26] ---
    The powerful, pure rage
    of not being able to forgive
[16:29] ---
    will become your unswerving drive
    to take action!
[16:33] ---
    With such a fragile resolve like yours,
[16:35] ---
    you can't protect your sister or heal her...
[16:38] ---
    or get revenge for your family!
[16:41] ---
    No!
[16:44] ---
    Stop!
[17:01] ---
    A straightforward attack
    driven solely by emotion...
[17:04] ---
    You fool!
[17:20] ---
    Where's his hatchet?
[17:30] ---
    Just before he hid behind the tree,
[17:33] ---
    he hurled that rock toward me
    and, at the same time,
[17:37] ---
    tossed the hatchet in the air.
[17:40] ---
    He hid his hands
    as he pretended to attack
[17:42] ---
    so I wouldn't realize he was unarmed.
[17:46] ---
    He knew he couldn't beat me.
[17:49] ---
    He tried to bring me down
    after I struck him!
[17:55] ---
    This kid...
[18:01] ---
    Damn!
[18:02] ---
    She'll devour him!
[18:08] ---
    Nezuko...
[18:13] ---
    It wasn't Nezuko!
[18:16] ---
    She'd never eat humans!
[18:22] ---
    Long ago,
[18:24] ---
    someone once said the same thing,
    only to be devoured by a demon.
[18:28] ---
    When a demon is starving,
[18:31] ---
    it will kill and devour
    even its own parents or siblings.
[18:34] ---
    Because they're nutrient-rich.
[18:37] ---
    I've seen it happen
    more times than I can count.
[18:41] ---
    This girl has been wounded,
[18:44] ---
    and she's expending energy
    to heal those injuries.
[18:47] ---
    She must've drained vast amounts of her
    strength as she transformed into a demon.
[18:52] ---
    That means she's severely starved
    at this moment, without a doubt.
[18:56] ---
    She must've wanted to feast on a human
    right away, even if it's her own brother...
[19:01] ---
    Yet, she protected him instead,
[19:03] ---
    and she even intimidated me...
[19:08] ---
    I wonder...
[19:10] ---
    These siblings might be...
[19:11] ---
    different from others.
[19:31] ---
    I'm sorry to leave you behind, Tanjiro.
[19:36] ---
    Take care of Nezuko for me, all right?
[19:50] ---
    You awake?
[19:54] ---
    Go see an old man named Sakonji Urokodaki
    who lives at the foot of Mt. Sagiri.
[20:01] ---
    Tell him that Giyu Tomioka sent you.
[20:05] ---
    She seems to be all right
    since it's cloudy now,
[20:08] ---
    but never let her be exposed
    to the sunlight, okay?
[20:28] ---
    Let's go.
