    Blood Demon Art...
[00:03] ---
    Exploding Blood!
[00:12] ---
    The bond between Nezuko and me...
[00:15] ---
    can't be...
[00:17] ---
    severed by anyone!
[01:55] ---
    EPISODE 20:
    PRETEND FAMILY
[02:16] ---
    Nezuko!
[02:18] ---
    Nezuko!
[02:20] ---
    I-I won!
[02:23] ---
    I won!
[02:26] ---
    My father saved me!
[02:29] ---
    I'm not sure why I was able
    to unleash that attack
[02:32] ---
    with the kagura that's been
    in our family for generations.
[02:34] ---
    But that was what saved me!
[02:38] ---
    I was able to beat him!
[02:44] ---
    Huh?
[02:46] ---
    I can't see Nezuko!
[02:48] ---
    Is it because I took
    way too many breaths?
[02:55] ---
    This ringing in my ears is brutal!
[02:57] ---
    My whole body is throbbing with pain!
[03:01] ---
    I gotta...
[03:03] ---
    heal up fast!
[03:07] ---
    I'm still not done fighting!
[03:11] ---
    I gotta go save Inosuke!
[03:14] ---
    Right away!
[03:20] ---
    The scent of blood just got stronger!
[03:23] ---
    Come to think of it,
    it didn't give off the smell of ash.
[03:28] ---
    Don't tell me...
[03:33] ---
    Even though I chopped off his head?
[03:37] ---
    You thought you'd defeated me?
[03:39] ---
    Poor kid.
[03:41] ---
    Did your pathetic delusion
    bring you joy?
[03:45] ---
    I cut off my head myself
    with my own threads...
[03:49] ---
    before you could chop it off.
[03:53] ---
    Enough.
[03:54] ---
    I'll kill both you and your sister.
[03:57] ---
    I haven't been this enraged in a long time.
[04:02] ---
    Get up!
[04:03] ---
    Get up right now!
[04:05] ---
    Get your breathing under control!
[04:07] ---
    Hurry!
[04:08] ---
    Right now!
[04:10] ---
    But I wonder why you're not burning up.
[04:14] ---
    It was only me and my threads
    that caught fire, right?
[04:16] ---
    LOWER FIVE
[04:17] ---
    I don't know if it's your sister's power,
[04:20] ---
    but thanks for getting me super-annoyed.
[04:24] ---
    Now I can carve you up with no regrets.
[04:29] ---
    If you use the correct breathing technique,
[04:31] ---
    it makes no difference
    how exhausted you are!
[04:35] ---
    Blood Demon Art...
[04:36] ---
    Murderous Eye Basket!
[04:41] ---
    Don't panic!
[04:42] ---
    Don't let it disrupt your breathing!
[04:44] ---
    Calm down...
[04:45] ---
    if you can calm down!
[04:48] ---
    I can't raise...
[04:49] ---
    my arm!
[05:04] ---
    Somebody's here.
[05:06] ---
    Is it Zenitsu?
[05:10] ---
    You did a good job holding out
    until I got here.
[05:15] ---
    Leave the rest to me.
[05:19] ---
    You're like an endless stream...
[05:21] ---
    of lowlifes always getting in my way!
[05:25] ---
    Blood Demon Art...
[05:31] ---
    Cutting Thread Rotation!
[05:35] ---
    Total Concentration...
[05:37] ---
    Water Breathing...
[05:39] ---
    Eleventh Form...
[05:43] ---
    Dead Calm.
[05:45] ---
    Eleventh Form?
[05:47] ---
    Who cares about your Eleventh Form?
[05:52] ---
    What?
[05:56] ---
    What's going on? What did he do?
[05:59] ---
    The instant I got up in his face,
[06:01] ---
    the threads scattered.
[06:04] ---
    Not one of them reached him?
[06:07] ---
    The toughest threads of all got slashed?
[06:11] ---
    That's impossible!
[06:13] ---
    One more time!
[06:24] ---
    I messed up!
[06:26] ---
    I messed up!
[06:28] ---
    And I was the only one
    who never messed up until now
[06:32] ---
    in this "Pretend Family" game!
[06:46] ---
    We finally drove her into a corner!
[06:49] ---
    Hey, look at that.
[06:59] ---
    A demon?
[07:00] ---
    It's just a kid.
[07:02] ---
    But even if it looks like a kid,
    it's still a demon!
[07:06] ---
    If we let it go, it'll devour humans!
[07:09] ---
    Hey...
[07:11] ---
    Hey...
[07:12] ---
    You want me save you?
[07:16] ---
    In return,
[07:17] ---
    will you do what I ask?
[07:20] ---
    I'll do anything!
[07:21] ---
    I'll do whatever you want,
    so please save me!
[07:24] ---
    Then, become a part of my family.
[07:27] ---
    I will! I'll do it!
[07:29] ---
    What are they talking about?
[07:32] ---
    All right, it's over for you!
[08:11] ---
    Welcome.
[08:13] ---
    Starting today,
[08:15] ---
    you're part of my family, too.
[08:19] ---
    DEMON SLAYER:
    KIMETSU NO YAIBA
[08:23] ---
    DEMON SLAYER:
    KIMETSU NO YAIBA
[08:42] ---
    Drink this.
[08:43] ---
    Our family's power belongs to Rui.
[08:48] ---
    Since we were all weak demons,
    Rui shared his power with us.
[08:54] ---
    Because Rui is one of that person's favorites,
[08:56] ---
    he gets special permission
    to do this kind of thing.
[09:11] ---
    Do you feel it?
[09:13] ---
    You don't have to fear
    those demon hunters anymore.
[09:18] ---
    Now then,
[09:19] ---
    time for the finishing touches.
[09:39] ---
    All right, you can look up now.
[09:46] ---
    Congratulations.
[09:47] ---
    You're truly part of the family now.
[10:22] ---
    We're only playing house.
[10:24] ---
    What?
[10:25] ---
    We have no blood ties.
[10:27] ---
    We're just a clan of assorted strangers.
[10:30] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[10:32] ---
    I'll do better, Rui!
[10:34] ---
    I'll practice! Forgive me!
[10:37] ---
    I'm so sorry I couldn't do it well!
[10:40] ---
    It's just that I revert
    by accident sometimes!
[10:52] ---
    I don't want to hear
    your excuses, Mother.
[10:58] ---
    Play the role of mother like you should.
[11:01] ---
    I know what I must do, Rui.
[11:06] ---
    We were all so scared
    of the demon hunters
[11:08] ---
    and just wanted companions.
[11:12] ---
    It's not like we wanted to take part
    in this baffling "Pretend Family" game.
[11:18] ---
    But those who fail to go along
    with Rui's demands and orders
[11:22] ---
    get carved up or have their
    intellect taken from them
[11:25] ---
    or get strung up,
    exposed to the sunlight.
[11:28] ---
    I've had enough of this.
[11:32] ---
    I'm going to pretend
    I never heard you say that—
[11:34] ---
    I know you're not a fool.
[11:38] ---
    Unlike all the others.
[11:41] ---
    Let's run away together.
[11:46] ---
    I wouldn't say this to anyone but you.
[11:49] ---
    You're the one person
    I truly think of as my younger sister.
[12:01] ---
    Tomorrow, Rui is going to be summoned
    by that person and descend the mountain.
[12:06] ---
    That's our chance to escape.
[12:45] ---
    How disappointing.
[13:10] ---
    They were all fools,
[13:12] ---
    but I'm not like them!
[13:13] ---
    Even so, I messed up!
[13:19] ---
    Rui!
[13:20] ---
    Rui!
[13:22] ---
    Mother's been killed!
[13:24] ---
    And our elder brother, too!
[13:26] ---
    What should we do?
[13:28] ---
    The demon hunters aren't far behind.
[13:32] ---
    Listen...
[13:33] ---
    Sh-Shouldn't we make a run for it?
[13:39] ---
    Don't...
[13:43] ---
    You know, don't you?
[13:46] ---
    I really hate it when your face reverts.
[13:54] ---
    What are you looking at?
[13:56] ---
    This isn't some show, you know.
[14:00] ---
    I only got my face slashed,
[14:03] ---
    so I got off easy!
[14:06] ---
    A demon!
[14:11] ---
    What the...
[14:14] ---
    It's futile.
    You'll never cut through them.
[14:17] ---
    You see, my Ball of Yarn may feel soft,
[14:19] ---
    but it's extremely hard.
[14:21] ---
    Whaaa...
[14:23] ---
    First, the solvent will melt
    those clothes out of the way.
[14:28] ---
    And then, it'll be your turn.
[14:30] ---
    You'll be reduced to mush in no time,
    and then I'll feed on you.
[14:35] ---
    How amazing!
[14:37] ---
    Do you release those threads
    from the palms of your hands?
[14:41] ---
    Good evening.
[14:43] ---
    The moon is quite lovely tonight,
    don't you think?
[15:00] ---
    I can see you have no intention
    of being my friend.
[15:04] ---
    W-W-Wait!
[15:06] ---
    I beg of you!
[15:08] ---
    I'm being forced to do this!
[15:11] ---
    If I defy him,
    I'll be slashed to shreds!
[15:16] ---
    Is that right?
[15:17] ---
    That does sound tragic!
[15:19] ---
    I'll spare you!
[15:21] ---
    Let's be friends!
[15:23] ---
    Y-You're going to spare me?
[15:25] ---
    Yes!
[15:27] ---
    But in order for us to be friends,
[15:29] ---
    I must ask you a few questions.
[15:33] ---
    Sweet young girl,
[15:35] ---
    how many people have you killed?
[15:39] ---
    Five.
[15:44] ---
    But I was ordered to!
    I had no choice!
[15:48] ---
    There's no need to lie about it.
[15:51] ---
    Because I already know.
[15:53] ---
    That spell you cast to turn one of our men
    into a cocoon was most impressive!
[15:53] ---
    Help me!
[15:56] ---
    Somebody!
[15:59] ---
    You've devoured at least
    eighty humans, haven't you?
[16:01] ---
    No, of course
    I haven't eaten that many.
[16:04] ---
    I only killed those five.
[16:06] ---
    But I came here
    from the west, you know.
[16:10] ---
    The west, my dear.
[16:13] ---
    On the west side of the mountain,
[16:14] ---
    I saw hordes of cocoons
    hanging from the trees.
[16:18] ---
    The human captives inside
    had been liquefied.
[16:21] ---
    All massacred.
[16:24] ---
    In that spot alone, I counted
    at least fourteen cocoons.
[16:29] ---
    Fourteen humans.
[16:30] ---
    All dead.
[16:32] ---
    Oh, it's not that I'm angry.
[16:35] ---
    I'm only trying
    to confirm the accurate toll.
[16:39] ---
    What good will it do you
    to confirm that?
[16:42] ---
    You'll receive the penalty
    you deserve and be reborn!
[16:46] ---
    Penalty?
[16:48] ---
    That way, you and I
    can become friends.
[16:51] ---
    If you go unpunished
    after having taken all those lives,
[16:55] ---
    your victims will never get justice.
[16:58] ---
    I could gouge out your eyeballs
[17:01] ---
    or slash your stomach
    to rip out your organs.
[17:04] ---
    For every person you've killed,
[17:06] ---
    I shall torture you.
[17:09] ---
    And after you've suffered
    through all of the pain and agony,
[17:13] ---
    your sins will be forgiven.
[17:16] ---
    Let's both give it our all!
[17:19] ---
    Don't worry! Since you're a demon,
    my dear, surely it won't kill you
[17:23] ---
    and neither will there be
    any after effects!
[17:25] ---
    Who do you think you're kidding?
[17:28] ---
    Die!
[17:29] ---
    You damn witch!
[17:37] ---
    I can see that we'll never be friends.
[17:42] ---
    Oh, what a pity!
[18:21] ---
    Insect Breathing Butterfly Dance...
[18:26] ---
    Caprice.
[18:29] ---
    My head...
[18:30] ---
    hasn't been cut off!
[18:34] ---
    That's the sword she's using?
[18:36] ---
    I see.
[18:37] ---
    She's too tiny and has no arm strength,
    so beheading is beyond her.
[18:42] ---
    That's someone I can defeat!
[19:03] ---
    You mustn't think you're safe
    just because you haven't been beheaded.
[19:08] ---
    Because there are swordswomen
    like me who use poison.
[19:17] ---
    Demon Slayer Corps, Insect Hashira,
[19:19] ---
    Shinobu Kocho.
[19:22] ---
    I may be the only swordswoman among
    the Hashiras unable to decapitate demons,
[19:27] ---
    but as I've created a poison
    lethal to demons, I'm also rather awesome.
[19:33] ---
    Oh! Pardon me!
[19:35] ---
    You're dead,
    so you can't hear me, can you?
[19:38] ---
    Careless of me!
[19:47] ---
    Are you all right?
[19:49] ---
    Just barely!
[19:51] ---
    What happened to the demon?
[19:55] ---
    Shouldn't you finish it off?
[19:58] ---
    I killed her with wisteria poison.
[20:01] ---
    She's already dead,
    so if we leave her, she'll rot.
[20:05] ---
    I'm a pharmaceuticals expert!
[20:09] ---
    Your clothes did get dissolved,
    but your body is more or less unscathed!
[20:13] ---
    I'm so glad!
[20:18] ---
    Now then,
[20:19] ---
    as for the whereabouts of the demon
    that forced this girl to do his bidding...
[20:25] ---
    Did Tomioka beat me to it, then?
[20:29] ---
    Nezuko...
[20:31] ---
    Nezuko!
[20:35] ---
    I'll kill them! I'll kill them!
[20:37] ---
    I'll kill those siblings no matter what!
[20:41] ---
    Siblings!
[20:46] ---
    What is it that you want to do, Rui?
[20:49] ---
    What do you mean by "family"?
[20:52] ---
    I don't know.
[20:53] ---
    Because I have no memories
    of when I was human.
[20:58] ---
    Is that why you made us
    pretend to be your family?
[21:03] ---
    I thought that if I could feel
    a family bond,
[21:06] ---
    my memories would come back.
[21:10] ---
    The bond of a real family...
[21:19] ---
    That's right.
[21:21] ---
    I...
[21:25] ---
    Nezuko!

    PREVIEW
[23:00] ---
    RUSTLE RUSTLE
[23:02] ---
    That's amazing! To think you made
    a poison that can kill demons!
[23:05] ---
    I am a student
    of the pharmaceutical sciences.
[23:07] ---
    Being a Demon Slayer isn't just
    about swinging a sword, you know.
[23:11] ---
    I-I see.
[23:13] ---
    And now, it's time for a Taisho secret!
[23:15] ---
    I formulate my poison
    inside my scabbard,
[23:18] ---
    and no one knows how it's done
    but myself and my swordsmith!
[23:22] ---
    All right, I'm gonna shoot up
    the ranks with a special sword, too!
[23:25] ---
    First, you need to acquire the skill
    not to get your uniform melted off!
[23:29] ---
    Such a toxic way of putting it!
[23:31] ---
    Next, Episode 21,
    "Against Corps Rules."
[23:34] ---
    It's always good to have high ambitions!
    Let's give it our all!
