    Rui!
[00:43] ---
    Rui!
[00:46] ---
    Rui!
[00:47] ---
    What are you doing?
[00:49] ---
    You know you're not supposed to be outside!
[02:22] ---
    EPISODE 21:
    AGAINST CORPS RULES
[02:31] ---
    I was always very frail
[02:34] ---
    ever since I was born.
[02:37] ---
    I'd never even run.
[02:39] ---
    Just walking was a struggle.
[02:47] ---
    Until Master Muzan appeared.
[02:54] ---
    You pitiful thing. Let me save you.
[03:04] ---
    My parents weren't happy about it.
[03:10] ---
    Because now that I'd acquired
    a strong body,

[03:13] ---
    I could never expose myself to sunlight,
[03:15] ---
    and I had to devour humans.
[03:23] ---
    What have you done?
[03:25] ---
    What on earth have you done?
[03:28] ---
    Rui!
[03:36] ---
    Long ago, I heard a wonderful story.
[03:43] ---
    There was once a father who died
    trying to save his drowning child.

[03:55] ---
    I was deeply moved.
[03:57] ---
    Such astounding parental love.
    And such a bond, as well.

[04:01] ---
    This father who drowned in the river
    had fulfilled his role as a parent.

[04:08] ---
    And yet,
[04:10] ---
    for some reason, my own parents...
[04:18] ---
    My own parents
[04:19] ---
    tried to...
[04:21] ---
    kill me.
[04:24] ---
    All my mother did was sob,
[04:26] ---
    never lifting a finger to protect me
    as I was about to be killed.

[04:43] ---
    They must've been imposters.
[04:46] ---
    The bond between us wasn't real.
[04:52] ---
    Sorry...
[04:57] ---
    She's saying something.
[05:00] ---
    So, she's still alive?
[05:02] ---
    ...for not giving you a strong,
    healthy body. I'm so sorry.

[05:10] ---
    Those were my mother's last words
    before she died.

[05:16] ---
    She died.
[05:19] ---
    It's all right, Rui!
[05:21] ---
    We're going to die with you!
[05:25] ---
    I was so enraged
    that he'd tried to kill me

[05:27] ---
    that my father's words
    went over my head.

[05:30] ---
    But in that moment,
[05:31] ---
    I realized that he meant to die with me
    to atone for my sin of having murdered another.

[05:37] ---
    It was a genuine bond.
[05:47] ---
    And that night,
[05:50] ---
    I severed it
[05:51] ---
    with my own two hands.
[05:56] ---
    Even so,
[05:58] ---
    Master Muzan gave me
    words of encouragement.

[06:03] ---
    It was all your parents' fault
    for refusing to accept you.

[06:07] ---
    Take pride in your own strength.
[06:11] ---
    I had no other choice
    but to look at it that way.

[06:15] ---
    I couldn't bear the weight
    of what I'd done.

[06:22] ---
    Even knowing that I only had
    myself to blame...

[06:34] ---
    Every single day...
[06:36] ---
    I missed my parents so much
    that I could barely stand it.

[06:41] ---
    Even after creating a fake family,
[06:43] ---
    the feeling of emptiness
    wouldn't go away.

[06:46] ---
    Since I was the one
    with the most power,

[06:49] ---
    there was no one who could protect me...
[06:51] ---
    who could shield me.
[06:53] ---
    The more powerful I became,
[06:56] ---
    the less I remembered
    about being a human.

[07:00] ---
    And I was losing sight
    of what it was that I wanted to do.

[07:02] ---
    Seeking a bond
    that I could never claim for myself.

[07:13] ---
    Even though it was
    simply out of my reach

[07:17] ---
    no matter how I strained
    to get my hands on it.

[07:32] ---
    That small body...
[07:35] ---
    is giving off the scent of a grief
    too overwhelming for him to bear.

[07:45] ---
    LOWER FIVE
[07:57] ---
    So warm.
[07:59] ---
    Hands as gentle as sunlight.
[08:06] ---
    Now I remember as clear as day.
[08:09] ---
    What I wanted was to apologize.
[08:12] ---
    I'm sorry.
[08:14] ---
    I was... I was to blame for it all.
[08:19] ---
    I hope you can forgive me.
[08:23] ---
    But since I've killed scores of people,
[08:27] ---
    I'm going to Hell, aren't I?
[08:30] ---
    Father...
[08:31] ---
    Mother...
[08:33] ---
    I can't go to the same place as you, can I?
[08:37] ---
    That's not true.
[08:41] ---
    We'll be going together even if it's to Hell.
[08:49] ---
    Rui...
[08:52] ---
    Father...
[08:55] ---
    Mother...
[08:58] ---
    Rui...
[09:00] ---
    No matter where you go,
    we'll be with you.
[09:12] ---
    It was all...
[09:13] ---
    It was all my fault!
[09:16] ---
    I'm sorry!
[09:18] ---
    I'm sorry!
[09:20] ---
    I'm sorry!
[09:22] ---
    I'm sorry!
[09:46] ---
    Don't waste any sympathy
    on a demon that devoured humans.
[09:50] ---
    It doesn't matter if it looks like a child.
[09:53] ---
    It's still a hideous monster
    that's lived for decades.
[09:58] ---
    To avenge the people who were killed,
[10:01] ---
    to make sure there are no more victims,
[10:04] ---
    of course, I'll bring my blade down
    on any demon's neck without mercy!
[10:10] ---
    But as for those for whom
    being a demon meant despair,
[10:13] ---
    those who regretted their own actions...
[10:16] ---
    I will never trample over them!
[10:18] ---
    Because demons were once human, too!
[10:21] ---
    Just like me, they were human, too!
[10:25] ---
    Please step off him!
[10:29] ---
    They're not hideous monsters at all!
[10:32] ---
    Demons are hopeless creatures!
[10:35] ---
    They're tragic creatures!
[10:50] ---
    You're...
[11:00] ---
    Oh my...
[11:05] ---
    Why would you get in my way, Tomioka?
[11:09] ---
    After telling me that we could never
    be friends with demons...
[11:13] ---
    How should I put this?
[11:16] ---
    That's exactly why...
[11:17] ---
    EVIL DEMON
[11:18] ---
    no one likes you, you know.
[11:22] ---
    DEMON SLAYER:
    KIMETSU NO YAIBA
[11:26] ---
    DEMON SLAYER:
    KIMETSU NO YAIBA
[11:46] ---
    Man, this antidote
    of Lady Kocho's is effective!
[11:50] ---
    That's right. And she prepared it
    after one look at this situation.
[11:55] ---
    She's truly amazing.
[11:58] ---
    That goes for him, too.
[12:00] ---
    Oh, that guy?
[12:02] ---
    Because he defeated that demon,
[12:05] ---
    it slowed the circulation
    of the poison just a bit.
[12:08] ---
    FINISHED TREATMENT
[12:09] ---
    All right! This should do it!
[12:11] ---
    KAKUSHI
[12:12] ---
    Looking good!
[12:14] ---
    Chances are, they'll all pull through.
[12:16] ---
    Still, I'd like to wrap things up quickly
[12:19] ---
    and leave this place
    as soon as possible, wouldn't you?
[12:21] ---
    Yeah, me, too.
[12:23] ---
    I mean, this place really, really stinks!
[12:35] ---
    All right, Tomioka,
[12:36] ---
    please move out of the way.
[12:40] ---
    I'm not...
[12:42] ---
    I'm not disliked by people.
[12:48] ---
    Well, I'm sorry. You haven't even realized
    that people don't like you, then?
[12:53] ---
    That was uncalled for.
    Please forgive me.
[13:02] ---
    Little boy!
[13:03] ---
    Yes!
[13:04] ---
    What you're protecting there is a demon.
[13:07] ---
    I don't want you to get hurt,
    so please move away.
[13:10] ---
    Y-You're mistaken!
[13:12] ---
    I mean, you're not mistaken, but...
[13:15] ---
    she's my kid sister!
[13:16] ---
    She's my kid sister, so... You see...
[13:20] ---
    Is that right? Poor thing.
[13:24] ---
    In that case,
[13:25] ---
    I shall use a gentle toxin to kill her,
    so she won't suffer, all right?
[13:33] ---
    Can you move?
[13:36] ---
    Make yourself move
    even if you can't move.
[13:39] ---
    Take your sister and run.
[13:41] ---
    Tomioka...
[13:43] ---
    Sorry for the trouble!
[13:45] ---
    Thank you very much!
[13:49] ---
    Isn't that against the Corps rules?
[14:03] ---
    My whole body is aching! It's so painful!
[14:06] ---
    I want to scream from the pain!
    Deal with it!

[14:10] ---
    Deal with it! Deal with it! Deal with it!
    Deal with it! Deal with it! Deal with it!

[14:17] ---
    Does this mean I'll have to quit
    the Demon Slayer Corps?

[14:21] ---
    Even if she's my sister,
[14:23] ---
    there's no way they'd let one of their
    swordsmen travel with a demon!

[14:31] ---
    I see you're dead serious, Tomioka.
[14:33] ---
    Who would've thought
    a Hashira would ever defend a demon?
[14:40] ---
    Whether you're dead serious or not,
[14:42] ---
    I'm not going to join you
    in stalling for time.
[14:46] ---
    So, good day to you.
[14:59] ---
    Is that your attempt
    at catching up with me?
[15:10] ---
    I don't mind you trying to stop me,
[15:13] ---
    but don't forget about the other one!
[15:24] ---
    Don't stop running!
[15:25] ---
    Keep moving!
[15:27] ---
    You gotta run as far away as you can!
[15:37] ---
    Not good!
[15:38] ---
    What happened?
[15:40] ---
    It was all I could do to just keep running!
[15:42] ---
    Nezuko!
[15:44] ---
    DESTROY
[15:45] ---
    A Demon Slayer!
[15:52] ---
    Run, Nezuko!
[15:54] ---
    Run! Make a run for it!
[15:56] ---
    Don't get caught no matter what!
[15:58] ---
    Hurry—
[16:09] ---
    She shrunk and turned into a child.
[16:21] ---
    All she's doing is running away.
    Not a single attack.

[16:25] ---
    But why?
[16:29] ---
    No need to ponder.
[16:31] ---
    My only job is to slay
    this demon as I was told.

[16:37] ---
    Tomioka?
[16:39] ---
    Are you listening, Tomioka?
[16:41] ---
    Since the purpose of my attack was to slay
    a demon, and therefore justified,
[16:45] ---
    I don't believe it could be
    construed as a violation.
[16:49] ---
    But what you're doing
    is against the Corps rules.
[16:52] ---
    You're preventing me
    from slaying a demon.
[16:55] ---
    Just what are your intentions here?
[17:01] ---
    Don't you have anything to say?
[17:04] ---
    This is your final warning.
[17:06] ---
    Give me a reason at least.
[17:14] ---
    If I'm remembering this right,
    it was two years ago.
[17:17] ---
    Please don't start some long, rambling
    story from that far back in time.
[17:21] ---
    Are you just being spiteful?
[17:22] ---
    Are you perhaps still angry
    that I pointed out how people don't like you?
[17:31] ---
    Message! Message!
[17:35] ---
    I have a message from headquarters!
[17:38] ---
    Tanjiro and Nezuko are to be taken into custody
    and brought back to headquarters!
[17:45] ---
    Tanjiro and the demon, Nezuko,
    are to be taken into custody
[17:49] ---
    and brought back to headquarters!
[17:51] ---
    Tanjiro, dressed in a checkered haori,
[17:55] ---
    with a scar on his forehead!
[17:57] ---
    Nezuko, a demon girl
    with a bamboo muzzle!
[18:00] ---
    Bring them back! Bring them back!
[18:01] ---
    Are you Nezuko?
[18:07] ---
    Bring them back! Bring them back!
[18:11] ---
    Tanjiro, dressed in a checkered haori,
    with a scar on his forehead!
[18:16] ---
    Nezuko, a demon girl
    with a bamboo muzzle!
[18:19] ---
    Bring them back! Bring them back!
[18:25] ---
    He has a scar on his forehead.
[18:27] ---
    All right, take him into custody.
[18:30] ---
    Look. His jawbone seems
    to be broken, doesn't it?
[18:34] ---
    I feel bad about tying him up.
[18:40] ---
    Wh-Who the hell is this?
[18:42] ---
    I don't know.
[18:43] ---
    A demon? Couldn't be, right?
[18:45] ---
    Is it a human?
[18:47] ---
    He's wearing our uniform trousers.
[18:51] ---
    Oh hey, this is a mask! He's a human!
[18:54] ---
    All right, let's bring him in.
[18:58] ---
    This guy's really banged up!
[19:01] ---
    Why's he strung up like this?
[19:05] ---
    There was nothing I could do...
[19:09] ---
    On my own, I couldn't bring down
    even a single demon!

[19:15] ---
    You know what?
[19:17] ---
    Maybe I'm not that strong.
[19:27] ---
    FINISHED TREATMENT
[19:28] ---
    They wrapped us up like mummies.
[19:32] ---
    Who are these people?
[19:34] ---
    They seem to be cleaning up
    this place really efficiently.

[19:37] ---
    And that girl there...
[19:39] ---
    Isn't she the girl from Final Selection?
[19:42] ---
    She has the same kind of hair ornament
    as the lady who wrapped us up.

[19:47] ---
    Should we bring them
    to the Butterfly Mansion, as well?
[19:48] ---
    Yes, bring all of the wounded to our place.
[19:51] ---
    I'll be hunting down
    the demons in the area
[19:53] ---
    so you can work without any worries.
[19:56] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I've heard about them.

[19:58] ---
    The cleanup crew, the Kakushis.
[20:01] ---
    The unit that cleans up after
    the Demon Slayer Corps battles demons.

[20:06] ---
    They say that most of its members are people
    who have no swordsmanship skills.

[20:18] ---
    It's daybreak.
[21:05] ---
    Wake up.
[21:07] ---
    Hey, I said wake up!
[21:10] ---
    Wake... Hey! Hey you!
[21:13] ---
    Come on, you! Come on!
[21:16] ---
    Are you gonna sleep all day?
[21:17] ---
    Wake the hell up, will you?
[21:23] ---
    You're in the presence of the Hashiras!
[23:00] ---
    PREVIEW
[23:00] ---
    RUSTLE RUSTLE
[23:02] ---
    Lately, we've been teaming up
    on missions quite frequently, right?
[23:07] ---
    Can you at least answer me please?
[23:08] ---
    Or are you perhaps still angry
    that I pointed out how people don't like you?
[23:14] ---
    Don't you have anything to say?
[23:16] ---
    Time for a Taisho secret.
[23:18] ---
    Apparently, Kocho can't stand cats or dogs
    or any kind of furry creature.
[23:23] ---
    You finally open your mouth,
    and that's the first thing you say?
[23:26] ---
    You didn't deny it,
    so does that mean it's true?
[23:28] ---
    People don't like you
    because of that lack of tact.
[23:31] ---
    - People...
    - "...do like me."
[23:33] ---
    Any answer but that one please.
[23:35] ---
    Next, Episode 22,
    "Master of the Mansion."
