    JOURNAL
    Tanjiro Kamado
[00:28] ---
    Let's go.
[02:03] ---
    DESTROY
[02:05] ---
    The Demon Slayer Corps has
    around several hundred members.
[02:10] ---
    It's an organization
    unrecognized by the government.
[02:14] ---
    Yet it's existed since ancient times,
    and we continue to hunt demons today.
[02:20] ---
    But as for who's leading
    the Demon Slayer Corps,
[02:25] ---
    that remains a mystery.
[02:28] ---
    Demons.
[02:30] ---
    Staple food... Humans!
[02:32] ---
    They kill humans and feed on them.
[02:35] ---
    No one knows when and where
    they first appeared.
[02:38] ---
    Their physical prowess is remarkable.
    Wounds heal in the blink of an eye.
[02:44] ---
    Flesh is restored after being hacked off,
[02:46] ---
    and limbs can be newly regenerated.
[02:49] ---
    Some demons can shape-shift.
    Others have otherworldly powers.
[02:54] ---
    They can only be killed by sunlight
    or by decapitation with a special sword.
[03:00] ---
    The Demon Slayers battle the demons
    with their own mortal bodies.
[03:05] ---
    Since they're human,
    their wounds are slow to heal,
[03:08] ---
    and, once lost,
    their limbs don't grow back!
[03:12] ---
    Even so, they battle the demons...
[03:15] ---
    to protect other humans.
[03:19] ---
    EPISODE 3:
    SABITO AND MAKOMO
[03:31] ---
    I am a trainer.
[03:33] ---
    I literally train swordsmen.
[03:36] ---
    There are many trainers,
[03:39] ---
    and each of them trains their pupils
    with their own regimen in their location.
[03:44] ---
    To join the Demon Slayer Corps,
[03:46] ---
    you must survive the Final Selection
    process held on Mt. Fujikasane.
[03:52] ---
    Whether or not you're eligible
    for Final Selection is up to me.
[03:58] ---
    Starting today, I'm going to keep
    a journal for Nezuko.
[04:03] ---
    I'm descending the mountain again today.
[04:06] ---
    I'm going to train my hardest
    so I won't die during Final Selection.
[04:14] ---
    After repeatedly descending
    the mountain, day after day,
[04:17] ---
    I'm starting to learn
    how to avoid most of the traps.
[04:20] ---
    It's because I'm much stronger now,
[04:23] ---
    and because I'm even more adept
    at detecting scents than before.
[04:29] ---
    Even so...
[04:33] ---
    the traps are getting
    more and more difficult.
[04:37] ---
    He may really want to kill me!
[04:51] ---
    I made my descent today,
    sword in hand,
[04:55] ---
    but the sword really hampered
    my movement.
[05:00] ---
    With the sword,
[05:02] ---
    I can't stop getting ensnared
    in all the traps!
[05:06] ---
    991!
[05:08] ---
    I swing the sword today.
[05:10] ---
    Well, it's not just today. I've been swinging
    the sword every single day.
[05:14] ---
    After descending the mountain,
    I swing my sword until my arms nearly fall off.
[05:17] ---
    1,000!
[05:19] ---
    500 more!
[05:36] ---
    Swords break easily.
[05:39] ---
    That's what he told me beforehand.
[05:43] ---
    Though it's strong vertically,
    it's weak horizontally, so...
[05:49] ---
    you need to apply the force
    straight along the blade.
[05:53] ---
    The blade's direction and the direction
    in which you apply the force
[05:58] ---
    must be exactly the same.
[06:00] ---
    And he added, "If you ever damage
    the blade, in other words, break it,
[06:06] ---
    I'll snap your bones, as well"
    in a threatening tone of voice.
[06:13] ---
    Nezuko...
[06:15] ---
    I'll keep working hard, okay?
[06:33] ---
    Today, I did nothing but fall.
[06:36] ---
    Training to break my fall
    and get up quickly from any position.
[06:42] ---
    I wield my sword,
[06:44] ---
    and I charge Mr. Urokodaki
    really trying to kill him.
[06:47] ---
    In contrast,
[06:49] ---
    Mr. Urokodaki is bare-handed
    and unarmed.
[06:54] ---
    But he's ridiculously powerful!
[06:57] ---
    He flings me away
    to roll on the ground every time.
[07:06] ---
    I'm home, Nezuko.
[07:18] ---
    Today, I learned breathing
    techniques and some forms.
[07:22] ---
    Total Concentration Breathing?
[07:25] ---
    That's right.
[07:27] ---
    And I'm going to teach you
    all ten of the Water Breathing forms.
[07:32] ---
    Remember to take a long breath
    so the oxygen flows into every cell in your body.
[07:39] ---
    This will enhance
    your body's natural healing power,
[07:41] ---
    and both stabilize
    and energize your spirit.
[07:45] ---
    Relax your upper body
[07:48] ---
    while bracing your lower half.
[07:52] ---
    All right, breathe!
[07:58] ---
    Wrong!
[08:02] ---
    Next! Forms!
[08:04] ---
    Right! Like this?
[08:06] ---
    Wrong!
[08:07] ---
    Like this?
[08:08] ---
    Wrong!
[08:09] ---
    This?
[08:09] ---
    Wrong!
[08:10] ---
    This?
[08:11] ---
    Wrong!
[08:12] ---
    I get yelled at
    for not bracing my stomach
[08:15] ---
    and clobbered to a pulp.
[08:18] ---
    Next, he told me
    to become one with the water.
[08:23] ---
    Get in there!
[08:30] ---
    Nezuko!
[08:38] ---
    Nezuko! I am water!
[08:46] ---
    And now it's been six months
    since Nezuko was last awake.
[08:52] ---
    Mr. Urokodaki summoned the doctor
    right away and had him examine her,
[08:55] ---
    but he found nothing wrong.
[08:58] ---
    But it's not normal for her
    to stay asleep like this.
[09:06] ---
    I was scared.
[09:09] ---
    I worry that one morning,
[09:11] ---
    I'll wake up to find her dead.
[09:15] ---
    Not a day goes by that I don't worry.
[09:27] ---
    My descents are getting more dangerous,
[09:29] ---
    and the air's even thinner where I train.
[09:38] ---
    Time and time again,
    I think I might die.
[09:59] ---
    I have nothing more to teach you.
[10:02] ---
    A year after I arrived at Mt. Sagiri,
[10:05] ---
    he told me all of a sudden...
[10:08] ---
    The rest is up to you!
[10:11] ---
    Whether or not you can improve
    to the next level.
[10:19] ---
    Come with me!
[10:38] ---
    If you can slice this boulder,
[10:41] ---
    I will allow you to enter Final Selection.
[10:49] ---
    Is a boulder...
[10:51] ---
    something you slice?
[10:53] ---
    Something you can slice with a sword?
[10:56] ---
    I don't think I can do it.
[10:58] ---
    My sword will snap!
[11:05] ---
    Mr. Urokodaki, please wait!
[11:08] ---
    Mr. Urokodaki!
[11:11] ---
    After that, Mr. Urokodaki
    never taught me anything again.
[11:43] ---
    Every day,
[11:44] ---
    I practiced over and over
    what I'd learned from Mr. Urokodaki.
[11:55] ---
    The basics like holding the breath
    and flexibility...
[11:57] ---
    I was glad I had written those
    down in my journal.
[12:11] ---
    But...
[12:12] ---
    even after six months had passed,
    I still couldn't slice the boulder.
[12:16] ---
    I felt frustrated.
[12:18] ---
    Not enough!
[12:19] ---
    I wasn't training hard enough!
[12:22] ---
    I gotta do more!
[12:23] ---
    More!
[12:32] ---
    Am I...
[12:34] ---
    hopeless?
[12:36] ---
    Is Nezuko going to die
    without ever waking up?
[12:40] ---
    I'll almost give in! I'm breaking down!!
[12:45] ---
    Keep working, Tanjiro! You can do it!!
[12:48] ---
    Shut up!
[12:55] ---
    A man shouldn't whine.
    It's unseemly.
[12:59] ---
    When did he show up?
[13:00] ---
    There's no scent. A fox mask?
[13:04] ---
    Now matter how you suffer,
    bear it in silence...
[13:07] ---
    if you're a man.
[13:11] ---
    If you call yourself a man.
[13:22] ---
    Slow.
[13:23] ---
    Weak.
[13:24] ---
    Immature.
[13:27] ---
    That's not what you call a man.
[13:31] ---
    DEMON SLAYER:
    KIMETSU NO YAIBA
[13:36] ---
    DEMON SLAYER:
    KIMETSU NO YAIBA
[13:42] ---
    What are you doing?
[13:44] ---
    I'd like to know
    what you think you're doing.
[13:47] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:49] ---
    I'm training.
[13:50] ---
    How long do you plan
    to keep your butt on the ground
[13:53] ---
    without even taking a stance?
[13:59] ---
    Come on. Come at me.
[14:02] ---
    But you have a wooden sword,
    and I have a real sword!
[14:21] ---
    Well, well! Thank you
    for worrying about me.
[14:26] ---
    So, you think
    you're actually going to injure me!
[14:33] ---
    Well, you have
    absolutely nothing to worry about!
[14:35] ---
    I'm more powerful than you
[14:38] ---
    because I've sliced that boulder!
[14:40] ---
    He's sliced that boulder?
[14:59] ---
    You've learned nothing.
[15:02] ---
    You haven't mastered a single thing!
[15:05] ---
    Particularly, the breathing technique
    Mr. Urokodaki taught you...
[15:09] ---
    Total Concentration Breathing.
[15:12] ---
    He knows Mr. Urokodaki?
[15:15] ---
    And the breathing technique, too?
[15:17] ---
    All you did was memorize it as fact.
[15:21] ---
    Your body has no clue
    what it needs to do.
[15:25] ---
    What the hell were you doing
    for a whole year and a half?
[15:30] ---
    Slam it into your flesh!
[15:34] ---
    More!
[15:35] ---
    More!
[15:37] ---
    More!
[15:38] ---
    So that you'll never forget the secrets
    Mr. Urokodaki taught you!
[15:43] ---
    Pound it into the marrow of your bones!
[15:46] ---
    I'm trying!
[15:47] ---
    I'm trying every single day!
[15:49] ---
    With everything I've got!
[15:51] ---
    But I'm not making any headway!
[15:54] ---
    I just can't go any further!
[15:57] ---
    Go further!
[15:59] ---
    If you're a man!
[16:00] ---
    If you call yourself a man!
[16:02] ---
    There's no other way
    to go but forward!
[16:05] ---
    Bring it on!
[16:06] ---
    Show me what you're capable of!
[16:26] ---
    I'm leaving the rest to you.
[16:41] ---
    Are you all right?
[16:45] ---
    Did you see that just now?
[16:48] ---
    What a strike that was!
[16:50] ---
    Not a single bit of wasted motion!
[16:52] ---
    It was really beautiful!
[16:54] ---
    I want to become like that!
    You think I can become like him?
[17:01] ---
    I'm sure you can...
[17:03] ---
    since I'll be looking after you.
[17:10] ---
    She's so cute.
[17:12] ---
    Who are you?
[17:16] ---
    This girl's name was Makomo.
[17:20] ---
    She told me the boy's name was Sabito.
[17:24] ---
    Makomo also pointed out my defects.
[17:29] ---
    She corrected my unnecessary
    movements and bad habits.
[17:34] ---
    But when I asked her
    why she was doing that,
[17:37] ---
    and where she came from,
    she didn't tell me anything.
[17:42] ---
    Both he and I love
    Mr. Urokodaki very much.
[17:46] ---
    That was Makomo's pet phrase.
[17:51] ---
    She and Sabito weren't siblings.
[17:53] ---
    She said Mr. Urokodaki raised them
    after they'd been orphaned.
[17:57] ---
    There are other children besides us.
[18:01] ---
    They're always watching you, Tanjiro.
[18:05] ---
    Makomo is a somewhat strange girl.
[18:09] ---
    She speaks in such an abstract,
    dreamy way.
[18:12] ---
    See, Total Concentration Breathing
    accelerates your blood circulation
[18:17] ---
    and your heart rate.
[18:20] ---
    That causes
    your body temperature to spike,
[18:23] ---
    making you as strong as a demon
    while staying human.
[18:27] ---
    The important thing
    is to expand your lung capacity.
[18:31] ---
    When you bring lots of air into your blood,
[18:35] ---
    and when your blood gets excited,
[18:37] ---
    your bones and muscles scurry
    to heat up and grow stronger.
[18:42] ---
    I'm not sure I get that.
[18:45] ---
    How can I do that?
[18:50] ---
    Train to death.
[18:53] ---
    At the end of the day,
    there's nothing else you can do.
[19:00] ---
    Until my arms and legs
    were ready to fall off...
[19:04] ---
    Until my lungs and heart
    were ready to burst,
[19:07] ---
    I swung my sword.
[19:09] ---
    But still...
[19:11] ---
    I just couldn't beat Sabito.
[19:16] ---
    Not until six months later.
[19:27] ---
    When I challenged him that day,
[19:31] ---
    Sabito was wielding a real sword.
[19:33] ---
    After six months, finally,
[19:37] ---
    you have the look of a man.
[19:47] ---
    Today's the day I win!
[19:56] ---
    Head-on battles are simple.
[19:59] ---
    Whoever's stronger and faster wins.
[20:15] ---
    The battle was over in an instant.
[20:19] ---
    On this day, in this moment,
    for the first time,
[20:22] ---
    my blade reached Sabito first.
[20:36] ---
    The moment I won,
[20:39] ---
    Sabito smiled.
[20:41] ---
    He looked sad and happy.
[20:45] ---
    A relieved kind of smile.
[20:49] ---
    Tanjiro...
[20:51] ---
    You did great.
    Don't forget what you just did.
[20:57] ---
    Win, okay, Tanjiro?
[20:59] ---
    Beat that guy, too.
[21:07] ---
    The next thing I knew,
[21:08] ---
    Sabito was gone.
[21:13] ---
    And my sword, which I was sure
    had slashed Sabito's mask...
[21:24] ---
    ...had sliced the boulder.
[23:00] ---
    PREVIEW
[23:00] ---
    RUSTLE RUSTLE
[23:04] ---
    Yeah, I was shocked, too!
[23:06] ---
    I could never imagine
    I'd be able to cut a boulder like that.
[23:08] ---
    I couldn't have done it
    without Sabito and Makomo.
[23:11] ---
    I can't thank them enough.
[23:14] ---
    Now, it's time for a Taisho secret!
[23:17] ---
    Why does Mr. Urokodaki wear a mask?
[23:20] ---
    I heard that's because demons used to make fun
    of his face for looking too kind.
[23:26] ---
    Sabito, Makomo and Mr. Urokodaki!
[23:29] ---
    I'll work harder
    to turn Nezuko back into a human!
[23:34] ---
    Next, Episode 4, "Final Selection"!
