**[00:43] ---**
*Rui!*
**[00:46] ---**
*Rui!*
**[00:47] ---**
*What are you doing?*
**[00:49] ---**
*You know you're not supposed to be outside!*

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."
