[00:03] ---
    The blood of the Twelve Kizuki
[00:05] ---
    should have a high degree
    of Kibutsuji's blood.

[00:08] ---
    If I can extract it,
[00:10] ---
    the medicine that will turn Nezuko
    back into a human can be completed sooner!

[00:15] ---
    Hold on! Inosuke!
[00:21] ---
    So, did you defeat it?
[00:23] ---
    Are you all right, Inosuke?
[00:26] ---
    I asked you whether you defeated
    that thing or not!
[00:28] ---
    Uh, yeah, I did!
[00:30] ---
    But anyway, Inosuke,
    how are you feeling?
[00:32] ---
    Don't go showering me
    with your sensitivity and kindness!
[00:36] ---
    You hear me? Got that?
[00:38] ---
    After all, anything you can do,
    I can do, too!
[00:41] ---
    Before you know it,
[00:43] ---
    my head will be harder than yours!
[00:47] ---
    Not to mention... Not to mention...
[00:49] ---
    Um...
[00:51] ---
    He's wounded severely.
[00:53] ---
    I couldn't save our other friends, either.
[00:57] ---
    That person gave off
    the scent of terror and suffering.

[01:03] ---
    Enough to make her yearn for death.
[01:11] ---
    What's the deal
    with this mountain anyway?

[01:14] ---
    With one of the Twelve Kizuki present...
[01:14] ---
    Stay still, Inosuke!
[01:16] ---
    Cut that out! I don't need that!
[01:17] ---
    ...and a demon family living here...
[01:18] ---
    I'm totally fine!
[01:20] ---
    But...
[01:22] ---
    I thought demons never herded together!
[01:31] ---
    Ouch!
[01:33] ---
    Something just pricked me!
[01:36] ---
    What the hell? This is so annoying!
[01:39] ---
    I can't find Tanjiro and Inosuke
    anywhere! This sucks!
[01:42] ---
    Where did they go?
[01:44] ---
    Which way?
[01:45] ---
    And it stinks around here, too! Stinks!
[01:49] ---
    I think I'm gonna cry!
[01:51] ---
    And this sound of spiders
    rustling around is so creepy!
[01:55] ---
    I'm sure these spiders are doing their best
    to survive, too, but still!
[02:01] ---
    Dammit! Shut up! Just stay still!
[02:06] ---
    Is this even possible?
[03:40] ---
    EPISODE 17:
    YOU MUST MASTER A SINGLE THING
[03:49] ---
    That's a spider with a human face!
[03:52] ---
    What's up with that? What's up with that?
[03:55] ---
    Please be a dream! Please be a dream!
    Please be a dream!
[03:59] ---
    If this can just be a dream,
    I promise to do my best!
[04:02] ---
    If I wake up to find myself
    resting my head on Nezuko's lap,
[04:04] ---
    then I promise to give it all I have!
[04:06] ---
    I'll even plow fields!
[04:08] ---
    I'll be glad to plow a whole acre,
    no, even two acres!
[04:11] ---
    So, please!
[04:13] ---
    Let me wake up from this nightmare!
[04:31] ---
    What the heck is that?
[04:34] ---
    Are those humans
    who got turned into spiders?

[04:38] ---
    Is that house floating?
[04:40] ---
    I can see a glimpse of something,
    but are those threads?

[04:43] ---
    And it really stinks!
[04:45] ---
    Talk about pungent!
[04:47] ---
    This would kill Tanjiro
    with his keen sense of smell!

[04:50] ---
    This smell is making my throat ache!
[04:52] ---
    I'm tearing up!
[04:54] ---
    My eyes hurt, too!
[05:08] ---
    It's huge!
[05:10] ---
    It's huge! It's huge!
[05:13] ---
    It's so huge!
[05:14] ---
    That thing is too huge!
[05:22] ---
    You know what! I refuse to speak
    with anyone like you!
[05:31] ---
    It's no use running away.
[05:33] ---
    You're already losing.
[05:35] ---
    What are you muttering about?
[05:37] ---
    I don't wanna hear it,
    so stop talking to me!
[05:39] ---
    I don't like guys like you, all right?
[05:42] ---
    You already know
    how dire your situation is, don't you?
[05:46] ---
    What are you talking about?
[05:47] ---
    Take a look at your hands.
[05:49] ---
    My hands?
[05:52] ---
    What's wrong with my hands—
[05:56] ---
    What's this?
[05:58] ---
    It's poison.
[05:59] ---
    You got bitten by a spider, right?
[06:02] ---
    That poison will turn you into a spider, too.
[06:08] ---
    In another 30 minutes,
[06:09] ---
    you'll be my slave, crawling all over the ground!
[06:15] ---
    Look at this. It's a clock.
[06:17] ---
    Do you understand?
[06:19] ---
    By the time this long hand
    goes around once,
[06:22] ---
    you'll have become
    a member of the spider clan!
[06:25] ---
    When the needle arrives here, you'll start
    to feel tingling and pain in your limbs.
[06:30] ---
    When it's here,
    you'll also feel dizzy and nauseous!
[06:34] ---
    Here, you'll experience intense pain,
[06:36] ---
    your body will start to shrink,
    and you'll black out!
[06:39] ---
    And by the time you wake up...
[06:52] ---
    DEMON SLAYER:
    KIMETSU NO YAIBA
[06:56] ---
    DEMON SLAYER:
    KIMETSU NO YAIBA
[07:18] ---
    Running away...
[07:19] ---
    ...is futile! Right, right, right!
[07:21] ---
    I know that, all right? I know that!
[07:28] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
[07:29] ---
    Shut up! Just shut up!
[07:32] ---
    There's no need to be afraid.
[07:34] ---
    Once the poison makes its rounds and you turn
    into a spider, you'll lose all intelligence, too!
[07:38] ---
    No! That's just what I don't like about this!
[07:41] ---
    Why can't you understand that, huh?
[07:43] ---
    I have no friends or girlfriend,
    all right? No one will like me!
[07:46] ---
    Huh! I can see that you want an extra dose
    of poison to turn into a spider faster.
[07:56] ---
    No! No! I don't want to turn into that!
[08:02] ---
    Get a hold of yourself!
[08:04] ---
    Stop crying! Stop running away!
[08:06] ---
    Doing that won't get you anywhere!
[08:08] ---
    Zenitsu!
[08:10] ---
    Come down from there!
    We're going to continue training!

[08:14] ---
    Oh no! I'm sure I'll die
    if I do any more training!

[08:17] ---
    I'm sure that I'll die, so...
[08:20] ---
    You won't die!
    Not from this level of training!

[08:23] ---
    Come down from there, you little moron!
[08:25] ---
    Gramps!
[08:26] ---
    Call me "Master"!
[08:28] ---
    But I love you, Gramps!
[08:34] ---
    When the girl I loved made me raise money
    so she could run off with another guy,

[08:38] ---
    you did rescue me
    from my mountain of debt!

[08:41] ---
    Well, maybe all you wanted
    was to train a swordsman!

[08:44] ---
    I want to live up to your expectations, too!
[08:47] ---
    But it's totally beyond me!
[08:49] ---
    I do feel terrible
    about the fact that I'm like this!

[08:53] ---
    Just so you know, I've been training
    on my own in secret, too!

[08:55] ---
    I haven't been getting any sleep!
[08:58] ---
    But I have absolutely nothing
    to show for it!

[09:00] ---
    What does this mean?
    I mean, really, what does this mean?

[09:04] ---
    Calm down, Zenitsu!
    You do have the ability to...

[09:08] ---
    I've had enough!
[09:13] ---
    Zenitsu!
[09:17] ---
    How tragic is my life anyway?
[09:19] ---
    I got hit by lightning.
[09:23] ---
    My hair color changed.
[09:27] ---
    I was thankful just to be alive, but...
[09:33] ---
    I...
[09:34] ---
    I hate myself more than anyone else.
[09:39] ---
    I always think
    I have to get my act together,

[09:42] ---
    but I end up cowering,
    running away, sniveling.

[09:48] ---
    I want to change.
    I want to be a competent person.

[09:53] ---
    Even still!
[09:54] ---
    I'm doing everything I can, all right?
[09:57] ---
    So, why do I have to end up going bald
    and turning into a monster?
[10:00] ---
    It can't be true, right? It so can't be true!
[10:05] ---
    What's up with this guy?
[10:11] ---
    Oh, crap! Don't climb up here!
[10:13] ---
    Just leave me alone for a minute!
[10:16] ---
    Just for a minute, all right?
[10:25] ---
    My hair's falling out already?
[10:29] ---
    My hair is falling out.
[10:31] ---
    Hey, he never mentioned that part to me!
[10:44] ---
    Who is this guy?
[10:46] ---
    Isn't he a demon hunter
    who came here to kill our family?

[10:50] ---
    Did he just faint?
[10:52] ---
    I can't believe how spineless he is.
[10:56] ---
    He's gonna fall onto his head and die.
[10:59] ---
    What the hell?
[11:08] ---
    Thunder Breathing, First Form.
[11:19] ---
    Poison Sputum!
[11:28] ---
    Did he just twist his body
    in midair to dodge that?

[11:31] ---
    Such quick reflexes!
    It's like he's a totally different person!

[11:37] ---
    Thunder Breathing, First Form.
[11:40] ---
    Hey, you guys! Pounce on him!
[11:46] ---
    Thunder Breathing, First Form.
[11:54] ---
    He's been assuming
    the same stance over and over.

[11:59] ---
    No question about it. This guy...
[12:03] ---
    is only capable of that one attack!
[12:08] ---
    That's all right, Zenitsu.
[12:10] ---
    That's good enough for you.
[12:13] ---
    If you can master one,
    that's cause for celebration!

[12:17] ---
    If you can only do a single thing,
    hone it to perfection.

[12:24] ---
    Hone it to the utmost limit!
[12:29] ---
    Hey, but Gramps...
[12:32] ---
    Just a little while ago,
    you were hopping mad.

[12:34] ---
    Because Thunder Breathing has six forms,
    and all I can manage to do is one.

[12:41] ---
    Do you know how to forge a sword?
[12:47] ---
    I have no idea.
[12:48] ---
    Will you keep hitting me? I think I'll cry.
[12:52] ---
    The thing about swords...
[12:54] ---
    You strike and strike and strike
[12:57] ---
    to get rid of impurities
    and anything you don't need,

[12:59] ---
    and to increase the purity of the blade,
    so a durable sword can be forged.

[13:05] ---
    So that's why you keep
    clobbering me day in, day out?

[13:10] ---
    But I'm not made of steel, am I?
[13:13] ---
    I'm living flesh, you know.
[13:16] ---
    You're not much of a threat, are you?
[13:19] ---
    You call yourself a demon hunter?
[13:21] ---
    Any minute now, you'll be rendered
    immobile by that poison.

[13:26] ---
    Zenitsu, perfect it!
[13:29] ---
    It's all right to cry.
[13:31] ---
    It's all right to run away!
[13:33] ---
    Just don't ever give up!
[13:36] ---
    Just believe.
[13:39] ---
    You endured all that hellish training!
[13:42] ---
    You'll be rewarded for that without fail!
[13:45] ---
    Hone it to the utmost limit!
[13:47] ---
    Become the most durable blade of all!
[13:51] ---
    Hone that one thing to perfection!
[14:01] ---
    Get out of my sight.
[14:08] ---
    Don't make me repeat myself.
    Get out of my sight.

[14:12] ---
    You know what I'm talking about.
[14:15] ---
    Aren't you ashamed
    of crying like a baby all day long?

[14:22] ---
    You laggard...
[14:23] ---
    Any time spent on you is wasted.
[14:28] ---
    Sensei is an extraordinary man.
[14:31] ---
    But Gramps said—
[14:33] ---
    "Gramps"? Don't speak of him
    in that familiar way!

[14:37] ---
    Sensei is a former Hashira!
[14:39] ---
    Someone who earned the highest title
    in the Demon Slayer Corps!

[14:44] ---
    Almost no one ever gets the chance
    to be trained by a former Hashira!

[14:48] ---
    The time Sensei spends training you
    is all for nothing!

[14:53] ---
    You're an eyesore, okay?
    Get out of my sight!

[14:55] ---
    Why are you here?
[14:57] ---
    Why do you insist on clinging here?
[15:10] ---
    I have no parents,
    so no one has any hopes for me.

[15:15] ---
    There's no one who dreams that I'll grasp
    or accomplish something one day.

[15:23] ---
    That I'll prove myself useful to somebody.
[15:25] ---
    That I'll manage to protect somebody
[15:27] ---
    and make that person happy,
    just once in my life.

[15:30] ---
    Not even a simple future like that.
[15:33] ---
    There's no one who hopes that I'll have one.
[15:36] ---
    If you fail, cry and run away even once,
[15:39] ---
    they say, "Oh, this guy's no good,"
    and they walk away.

[15:45] ---
    But not Gramps!
[15:51] ---
    Time and time again,
    he steadfastly reprimanded me.

[15:56] ---
    All those times I kept running away...
[16:00] ---
    Time and time again...
[16:03] ---
    He'd drag me right back.
[16:08] ---
    Clearly, he did smack me around
    a bit too much.

[16:12] ---
    But he never abandoned me!
[16:16] ---
    Pierce him!
    Inject him with more poison!
[16:32] ---
    That should do it for him!
[16:40] ---
    What's this?
[16:41] ---
    The air is vibrating.
[16:46] ---
    Thunder Breathing, First Form...
[16:49] ---
    Thunderclap and Flash!
[16:54] ---
    Sixfold!
[17:01] ---
    He vanished?
[17:23] ---
    Did I get slashed?
[17:24] ---
    Me?
[17:26] ---
    Slashed?
[17:28] ---
    By him?
[17:30] ---
    By a guy like him?
[17:38] ---
    But that's absurd!
[17:40] ---
    By a guy who can barely move
    his arms and legs?
[17:53] ---
    Dream...
[17:57] ---
    It's a happy dream.
[17:59] ---
    I'm powerful.
[18:01] ---
    More powerful than anyone.
[18:03] ---
    I can help the weak and anyone in trouble.
[18:07] ---
    Anytime.
[18:10] ---
    Everything that Gramps taught me,
[18:12] ---
    all the time he spent on me...
[18:15] ---
    It wasn't for nothing!
[18:17] ---
    A dream that, thanks to Gramps,
[18:20] ---
    I became powerful
    and helped out a lot of people.

[18:27] ---
    But now, it's all over!
[18:35] ---
    Chuntaro...
[18:39] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[18:53] ---
    Don't ever give up!
[19:04] ---
    Don't ever give up.
[19:07] ---
    Use the breathing technique to slow down
    the poison as much as you can.

[19:12] ---
    Even if it's painful, even if it's agonizing,
[19:15] ---
    don't try to take the easy way out...
[19:17] ---
    or Gramps is gonna let you have it!
[19:21] ---
    Right.
[19:23] ---
    And Tanjiro's gonna yell at you, too.
[19:29] ---
    What was that sound?
[19:31] ---
    Did lightning just strike?
[19:33] ---
    How should I know?
[19:35] ---
    But I'm not smelling any thunderclouds.
[19:38] ---
    The acrid odor in the air
    is stronger now, so I can't tell.
[19:42] ---
    Inosuke!
[19:45] ---
    I think I'll go that way.
[19:48] ---
    Go ahead and do whatever you want!
[19:51] ---
    Are you descending, Inosuke?
[19:56] ---
    Are you going down the mountain?
[19:58] ---
    Why would I? Just beat it!
[20:00] ---
    No, no, because you're severely wounded.
[20:03] ---
    I am not wounded at all!
[20:09] ---
    N-N-No, Inosuke! Your injuries...
    Anyone can see that...
[20:19] ---
    A demon!
[20:21] ---
    Because of the odor wafting
    all over this mountain,

[20:23] ---
    I couldn't pick it up at all!
[20:27] ---
    I'm gonna tear you to shreds,
    you damn demon!
[20:32] ---
    Come back here, dammit!
[20:33] ---
    Inosuke!
[20:36] ---
    Father!
[20:37] ---
    Who are you calling "father"?
[20:41] ---
    Inosuke!
[20:54] ---
    Don't come near my family!
[20:57] ---
    Stay away!
[21:03] ---
    I'm leaving the rest to you, Father.

[23:05] ---
    ONE MORNING
[23:06] ---
    Honestly, I'd like to quit!
[23:07] ---
    But there's one thing
    stopping me from ever quitting!

[23:09] ---
    And by that, I mean "dress code check"!
[23:11] ---
    I can ogle the girls all I want
    and not get yelled at!

[23:14] ---
    Nezuko!
[23:19] ---
    Makomo's looking cute today, too!
[23:21] ---
    And that senpai's gorgeous, as well!
[23:24] ---
    Mr. Tomioka!
[23:25] ---
    It's not what it looks like!
    That was just a dress code check!
[23:28] ---
    Before you start finding fault
    with other people's clothing, fix your hair!
[23:31] ---
    Even though it's my natural color?
[23:33] ---
    Next, Episode 18, "A Forged Bond."
[23:37] ---
    But it's my natural color.
