**[00:09] ---**
Were you acquainted with any of them?
**[00:13] ---**
There don't seem to be
any survivors around here.
**[00:18] ---**
We were advised that several rookie
Mizunoto had joined the battle,
**[00:26] ---**
but they might be dead by now,
don't you think?
**[00:30] ---**
Let's go.
**[00:33] ---**
Isn't the Moon lovely?
**[00:37] ---**
Since we've been given this
joint mission, let's try to get along.
**[00:42] ---**
I'm only here to slay some demons.
**[00:45] ---**
How callous of you!
**[00:48] ---**
All right, then, let's split up here.
**[00:51] ---**
I shall proceed from the west.
**[00:54] ---**
Agreed.
**[01:05] ---**
Don't come near my family!
**[01:07] ---**
Stay away!
**[01:14] ---**
*Water Breathing, Second Form!*
**[01:16] ---**
*Water Wheel!*

EPISODE 18:
A FORGED BOND
**[03:08] ---**
*It's no good!*
**[03:10] ---**
*The blade won't go through!*
**[03:21] ---**
So hard!
**[03:29] ---**
I can't slash him even if I use an attack!
**[03:31] ---**
What should I do?
**[03:33] ---**
What should I do?
**[03:36] ---**
Don't come near my family!
**[03:38] ---**
Stay away!
**[03:46] ---**
What are you looking at?
**[03:48] ---**
I'm over here!
**[03:49] ---**
Curse you!
**[03:58] ---**
Ouch!
**[04:00] ---**
All that force
with just one swipe of its arm!
**[04:03] ---**
It's no good! I'm not at full power!
**[04:07] ---**
Not to mention,
the bleeding's making me stumble!
**[04:17] ---**
*Water Breathing, Second Form...*
**[04:20] ---**
*Improved, Lateral Water Wheel!*
**[04:44] ---**
What was that?
**[04:46] ---**
What's going on?
**[04:47] ---**
Inosuke! You okay?
**[04:52] ---**
*He did that?*
**[04:54] ---**
*That was some move, dammit!*
**[05:04] ---**
*All right!*
**[05:05] ---**
*I should be able to chop off
that tough neck now!*
**[05:08] ---**
*Water Breathing...*
**[05:10] ---**
*The final and most powerful form!*
**[05:17] ---**
*He's got a different air about him now.*
**[05:20] ---**
*He's about to do
something totally mind-blowing!*
**[05:26] ---**
*Now I'll finish him off!*
**[05:30] ---**
*Total Concentration...*
**[05:32] ---**
*Water Breathing...*
**[05:34] ---**
*Tenth Form!*
**[05:44] ---**
L-Look out!
**[05:48] ---**
Kentaro!
**[05:49] ---**
I-Inosuke!
**[05:52] ---**
Don't die until I get back!
**[05:55] ---**
That's one of the Twelve Kizuki!
**[05:57] ---**
Don't die!
**[05:58] ---**
Don't die!
**[06:00] ---**
Whatever you do, don't die!
**[06:15] ---**
Oh, crap!
**[06:29] ---**
*It's getting really hard to breathe now.*
**[06:35] ---**
*I have no feeling
in my arms and legs anymore.*
**[06:56] ---**
*Nezuko...*
**[06:59] ---**
*I'm sorry.*
**[07:07] ---**
*Don't give up!*
**[07:10] ---**
*Don't give up!*
**[07:13] ---**
*Don't give up!*
**[07:16] ---**
*Don't...*
**[07:18] ---**
*give up!*
**[07:44] ---**
*Who are you?*
**[07:50] ---**
Yoo-hoo!
**[07:52] ---**
Are you all right?
**[08:00] ---**
*Water Breathing, Second Form!*
**[08:05] ---**
*Water Wheel!*
**[08:14] ---**
I managed to land somehow!
**[08:19] ---**
I beg of you! Please stop!
**[08:51] ---**
What are you looking at?
**[08:53] ---**
This isn't some show, you know.
**[08:57] ---**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[09:00] ---**
Aren't you two allies?
**[09:04] ---**
Allies?
**[09:05] ---**
Don't put us in the same category
as something that flimsy.
**[09:09] ---**
We're family.
**[09:11] ---**
We're joined by a powerful bond.
**[09:15] ---**
And besides,
**[09:17] ---**
this is between me and my sister.
**[09:20] ---**
So don't interfere.
**[09:23] ---**
Or I'll carve you up.
**[09:27] ---**
You're wrong!
**[09:29] ---**
Whether it's your family or an ally,
**[09:30] ---**
if you have a strong bond between you,
**[09:33] ---**
then either one should be just as precious!
**[09:35] ---**
Calling it flimsy
if you're not related by blood...
**[09:38] ---**
That's not true at all!
**[09:40] ---**
Not only that, but those who have
a strong bond give off the scent of trust!
**[09:46] ---**
But all I'm picking up from you two
is the scent of terror, hatred and repulsion!
**[09:52] ---**
That's not what you call a bond!
**[09:54] ---**
It's counterfeit!
**[09:56] ---**
It's forged!
**[10:03] ---**
You...
**[10:10] ---**
Hey! Look at that,
a demon that's just the right size.
**[10:14] ---**
Even I can take down
a kid demon like this one.
**[10:18] ---**
Hold up a second please!
**[10:19] ---**
You can just back off!
**[10:22] ---**
I want to take the safe route
up the ladder.
**[10:25] ---**
Since once you move up,
you get more money from the top guys.
**[10:29] ---**
My unit's practically been wiped out,
**[10:33] ---**
but I'll slay myself a decent-sized demon
and head down the mountain.
**[10:38] ---**
Take this!
**[10:39] ---**
Don't do it! Stop!
**[10:48] ---**
*Shattered to pieces in an instant!*
**[10:50] ---**
*But how did he...*
**[10:53] ---**
Hey, what did you say?
**[11:00] ---**
Look, you...
**[11:02] ---**
What was it that you just said?
**[11:08] ---**
*Just look at that intimidation factor!*
**[11:10] ---**
*The air just got heavy*
**[11:13] ---**
*and denser!*
**[11:16] ---**
*Inosuke,*
**[11:18] ---**
*I'm sorry!*
**[11:19] ---**
*Hang in there, okay?*
**[11:21] ---**
*Just a little longer!*
**[11:23] ---**
*I'll be there
as soon as I defeat this demon!*
**[11:27] ---**
*I'll come save you no matter what!*
**[11:31] ---**
Hey, you...
**[11:32] ---**
What you said just now...
**[11:35] ---**
Let's hear you say it again.
**[11:38] ---**
Come on.
**[11:40] ---**
Say it, will you?
**[11:41] ---**
Sure!
**[11:43] ---**
I'll repeat it as many times as you want!
**[11:45] ---**
Your bond is forged!
**[12:13] ---**
*O-Oh, crap!*
**[12:16] ---**
DEMON SLAYER:
KIMETSU NO YAIBA
**[12:20] ---**
DEMON SLAYER:
KIMETSU NO YAIBA
**[12:30] ---**
*Dammit!*
**[12:31] ---**
*Hiding myself in a place like this...*
**[12:34] ---**
*How pathetic is that?*
**[12:36] ---**
*Still, I gotta come up with a way.*
**[12:39] ---**
*How do you slash someone
who's sword-proof?*
**[12:43] ---**
*What should I do?*
**[12:44] ---**
*What should I do?*
**[12:46] ---**
*Just how do I slash it?*
**[12:49] ---**
*Think! Think! Think! Think—*
**[12:53] ---**
Whoa!
**[12:57] ---**
This is bad! This is really bad!
**[13:00] ---**
Until...
**[13:02] ---**
Until he gets back,
**[13:04] ---**
I gotta somehow...
**[13:08] ---**
What the hell kind of attitude is that?
**[13:13] ---**
Don't mess around, dammit!
**[13:22] ---**
Curse you!
**[13:25] ---**
Looks like I got infected
by Tontaro's germs!
**[13:29] ---**
Messing around like that...
**[13:31] ---**
That was way too close a call!
**[13:33] ---**
Using my head? That's so not me!
**[13:42] ---**
All right!
**[13:43] ---**
Slashed you!
**[13:47] ---**
It's really simple.
**[13:49] ---**
If you can't slash something
with one sword,
**[13:51] ---**
all you gotta do is pound it
with another sword!
**[13:55] ---**
I mean, look!
**[13:56] ---**
I have two swords!
**[14:01] ---**
I'm the almighty!
**[14:09] ---**
Are you running away on me?
**[14:11] ---**
Hey you!
**[14:12] ---**
Come back here, dammit!
**[14:27] ---**
I just want to let you know...
**[14:29] ---**
I won't kill you in one blow.
**[14:32] ---**
After ripping you to shreds,
I'll carve you up.
**[14:40] ---**
But...
**[14:41] ---**
If you take back
what you said just now,
**[14:44] ---**
I'll do you a favor
and kill you at once.
**[14:47] ---**
I won't take it back!
**[14:48] ---**
What I said was the truth!
**[14:51] ---**
You know who's not making any sense?
**[14:53] ---**
It's you!
**[15:01] ---**
You're the one who's mistaken!
**[15:20] ---**
Damn! That bastard...
Where the hell did he go, dammit?
**[15:29] ---**
I'm telling ya,
**[15:30] ---**
this doesn't hurt!
**[15:32] ---**
What doesn't hurt doesn't hurt!
**[15:36] ---**
Now that it's come to this,
**[15:37] ---**
I'll sniff it out for sure!
**[15:52] ---**
So, there you are!
**[15:54] ---**
You idiot piece of crap!
How high did you climb up?
**[15:58] ---**
Damn you!
**[16:00] ---**
So, you're plotting to make me
use my head again, huh?
**[16:03] ---**
In your dreams!
**[16:09] ---**
What the...
**[16:11] ---**
Oh, I get it!
**[16:13] ---**
He's trembling with fear and dread
at the sight of me, huh?
**[16:18] ---**
Well, it's a little too late for that!
**[16:26] ---**
What the...
**[16:27] ---**
Now what?
**[16:33] ---**
D-Did it just shed its skin?
**[16:47] ---**
*Jeez.*
**[16:48] ---**
*Come on, that's bulking up way too much!*
**[16:52] ---**
*This is looking really bad for me!*
**[16:54] ---**
*I've never sensed this much force
from an opponent before!*
**[16:59] ---**
*I'll get crushed just by his force!*
**[17:06] ---**
*It's no good.*
**[17:08] ---**
*I can't win.*
**[17:17] ---**
*I'm gonna die.*
**[17:20] ---**
*I'm gonna be killed.*
**[17:23] ---**
Don't die!
**[17:25] ---**
Don't die until I get back!
**[17:29] ---**
*Always live your lives with great pride.*
**[17:35] ---**
*I wish you luck in battle!*
**[17:40] ---**
I'm not gonna lose!
**[17:42] ---**
No way am I gonna lose!
**[17:45] ---**
I'm Inosuke Hashibira
of the Demon Slayer Corps!
**[17:49] ---**
Just bring it on, you dirtbag!
**[17:54] ---**
*So fast!*
**[17:55] ---**
*I can't see it!*
**[18:03] ---**
*Beast Breathing...*
**[18:05] ---**
*Fang Three, Devour!*
**[18:11] ---**
It snapped!
**[18:17] ---**
*Oh, crap!*
**[18:19] ---**
*I failed to go on the defensive
with my breath attack!*
**[18:23] ---**
Don't come near my family! Stay away!
**[18:28] ---**
I'm not gonna die!
**[18:31] ---**
*Beast Breathing Fang One...*
**[18:35] ---**
*Take this!*
**[18:36] ---**
*Pierce!*
**[18:40] ---**
*They're in!*
**[18:41] ---**
*They're in, but...*
**[18:43] ---**
*what the hell?*
**[18:45] ---**
*This thing isn't even flinching!*
**[19:08] ---**
*I'm sorry.*
**[19:11] ---**
*I'm sorry, Inosuke.*
**[19:27] ---**
*I want at least you to survive,*
**[19:30] ---**
*Inosuke.*
**[19:38] ---**
*Wh-Who are you?*
**[19:52] ---**
*Wh-What was that?*
**[19:55] ---**
*Did he slash it?*
**[19:57] ---**
*That guy?*
**[19:59] ---**
*Wh-Who is that?*
**[20:02] ---**
*Who on earth...*
**[20:14] ---**
*That's fast!*
**[20:17] ---**
*Water Breathing,*
**[20:18] ---**
*Fourth Form...*
**[20:20] ---**
*Striking Tide!*
**[20:30] ---**
*H-Holy crap!*
**[20:37] ---**
*I-I've never seen anyone...*
**[20:41] ---**
*as incredible as this guy!*
**[20:52] ---**
*Got it!*
**[20:53] ---**
*The acrid odor's starting to fade,*
**[20:56] ---**
*so now I can detect
the scent of the threads!*
**[20:58] ---**
*I can take him on now!*
**[21:02] ---**
*He's smarter than I thought.*
**[21:06] ---**
*He doesn't flinch back in fear.*
**[21:08] ---**
*Well, not that it matters anyway.*
**[21:19] ---**
*Water Breathing,*
**[21:21] ---**
*First Form...*
**[21:22] ---**
*Water Surface Slash!*

**[23:02] ---**
Hey!
**[23:03] ---**
Wow! Damned if you didn't take out
that demon in a flash! Who are you?
**[23:08] ---**
I saw you using the same technique
as Monjiro! You his friend?
**[23:12] ---**
What, you don't see me here?
Look at me, dammit!
**[23:15] ---**
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
What do you say to that?
**[23:19] ---**
Hey!
**[23:22] ---**
Okay, then, I'll let you in on a secret!
**[23:25] ---**
I hear that Tanjiro's favorite
rice ball flavor is plum seaweed,
**[23:27] ---**
and Zenitsu really digs salmon!
**[23:31] ---**
Next, Episode 19, "Hinokami."

Hey, so you can talk!
