[00:00] ---
    MUGEN
[00:02] ---
    To be able to die while dreaming...
[00:06] ---
    Just how lucky are you?
[00:08] ---
    It doesn't matter how powerful
    a Demon Slayer you are.
[00:13] ---
    A human's driving force
    is the heart, the spirit!
[00:20] ---
    DREAM
[00:21] ---
    All you have to do
    is destroy the spiritual core.
[00:25] ---
    You can kill them just like that!
[00:28] ---
    All human hearts are the same.
[00:31] ---
    So fragile and weak, like glasswork.
[00:38] ---
    You are falling...
[00:40] ---
    You are falling...
[00:42] ---
    into a dream.
[00:53] ---
    It's a deep slumber.
[00:57] ---
    They can...
[00:58] ---
    LOWER ONE
[00:59] ---
    no longer awaken.

    EPISODE 3:
    SHOULD HAVE BEEN
[03:04] ---
    This way!
[03:05] ---
    The peaches over here taste great!
[03:07] ---
    And there are tons of white clovers in bloom!
[03:10] ---
    I'll make you a chaplet!
[03:12] ---
    I can make these really great-looking ones...
[03:15] ---
    Nezuko!
[03:16] ---
    Yes! Make a lot, okay...
[03:19] ---
    Zenitsu?
[03:28] ---
    There's a river along the way,
    but it's shallow, so you'll be okay, right?
[03:31] ---
    River?
[03:34] ---
    What am I going to do, Zenitsu?
[03:37] ---
    I can't swim.
[03:40] ---
    I-I'll just carry you on my back
    and jump right over the river!
[03:45] ---
    Not even your toes will get wet, Nezuko!
[03:51] ---
    Just leave it to me!
[03:53] ---
    Let's go!
[04:10] ---
    Expedition Team! Expedition Team!
[04:12] ---
    We're the Cave Expedition Team!
[04:14] ---
    Expedition Team! Expedition Team!
[04:16] ---
    We're the Cave Expedition Team!
[04:18] ---
    Expedition Team! Expedition Team!
[04:20] ---
    Boss!
[04:21] ---
    Boss!
[04:22] ---
    What's up, Underling 1 and Underling 2?
[04:25] ---
    PONJIRO
[04:26] ---
    I can smell the master of this cave
    over there, pompoko!
[04:30] ---
    CHUITSU
[04:31] ---
    And I can hear it breathing
    as it sleeps, squeak!
[04:38] ---
    Here he is!
[04:40] ---
    All right, let's go! Showdown!
[04:43] ---
    - Roger that, Boss!
    - Roger that, Boss!
[04:45] ---
    Hey you! Come with me, Underling 3!
[04:49] ---
    Come over here! Look, I'll give you
    these sparkly acorns! C'mon!
[04:53] ---
    Let's go!
[04:55] ---
    - Hey!
    - Hey!
[05:25] ---
    Why did I come here?
[05:31] ---
    Oh, right.
[05:32] ---
    To report to my father...
[05:35] ---
    that I've become a Hashira.
[05:56] ---
    So what if you've become a Hashira?
[06:04] ---
    Worthless.
[06:05] ---
    It means nothing.
[06:07] ---
    You're never going to amount
    to anything anyway.
[06:11] ---
    Neither you...
[06:13] ---
    nor I.
[06:21] ---
    Brother...
[06:24] ---
    Was our father pleased to hear your news?
[06:28] ---
    Do you think our father will acknowledge me
    if I become a Hashira, too?
[06:37] ---
    He wasn't always like that.
[06:40] ---
    After all, he did rise to the rank of Hashira
    in the Demon Slayer Corps.

[06:44] ---
    He was a passionate man.
[06:46] ---
    And yet, one day, out of the blue,
    he quit being a swordsman.

[06:51] ---
    Suddenly.
[06:54] ---
    The man who'd raised us both
    with such enthusiasm...

[07:02] ---
    Why?
[07:06] ---
    It's pointless to think
    about such things, so stop.

[07:10] ---
    Senjuro is even worse off.
[07:14] ---
    He barely has any memories of our mother
    who died of illness when he was very young,

[07:19] ---
    and just look at the state our father is in.
[07:27] ---
    I'm going to be honest.
[07:29] ---
    Our father wasn't happy to hear it.
[07:32] ---
    He told me that it meant nothing.
[07:35] ---
    But that's not enough
    to extinguish my passion!
[07:40] ---
    This flame inside my heart
    will never go out!
[07:43] ---
    I'll never give in!
[07:45] ---
    And Senjuro...
[07:49] ---
    You're not like me.
[07:52] ---
    You have a big brother...
[07:55] ---
    who believes in his little brother.
[07:58] ---
    No matter what path you take,
    you're going to become a fine human being!
[08:03] ---
    Keep that burning passion
    inside your heart!
[08:05] ---
    Let's do our best!
[08:06] ---
    Let's do our best and live on!
[08:09] ---
    No matter how lonely it gets.
[08:17] ---
    Looking good.
[08:19] ---
    Those ropes that I created are used
[08:21] ---
    for a special technique that allows one to invade
    the dreams of whoever you're tethered to.
[08:26] ---
    I always fight with the utmost caution.
[08:32] ---
    Once you're asleep, Hashira or not,
    you're no different than a baby.
[08:37] ---
    I'll enjoy the feast
    after killing the Demon Slayers.
[08:51] ---
    There's no need to swing in such a hurry.
[08:54] ---
    Relax your shoulders.
[08:57] ---
    Like this?
[08:59] ---
    That's right.
[09:01] ---
    Close call. He's right there.
[09:04] ---
    I have to make sure he doesn't see me!
[09:08] ---
    I have to hurry to the edge of the dream!
[09:11] ---
    Hurry!
[09:14] ---
    The dream world I show them isn't infinite.
[09:18] ---
    It's circular, with the dreamer in its center.
[09:19] ---
    DREAM
[09:23] ---
    The realm of the subconscious exists just outside
    the dream, where you'll find the spiritual core.
[09:25] ---
    SUBCONSCIOUS
[09:28] ---
    CORE
[09:31] ---
    That's what you must destroy.
[09:34] ---
    Do that, and the dreamer will become crippled.
[09:47] ---
    There it is!
[09:48] ---
    The scenery doesn't end here,
    but I can't go any further.
[09:55] ---
    I'll destroy his spiritual core right away!
[10:01] ---
    And then, I'll get to see
    a happy dream myself!

[10:15] ---
    What an odd realm of the subconscious.
[10:18] ---
    It's hot.
[10:19] ---
    It's burning up.
[10:21] ---
    I have to hurry.
[10:39] ---
    Found it!
[10:41] ---
    The spiritual core!
[10:45] ---
    I've never seen a red one before.
[10:51] ---
    All I have to do is destroy this and...
[10:53] ---
    it'll be my turn to...
[11:18] ---
    I thought humans couldn't move
    while they were under a spell.

[11:28] ---
    What a strong survival instinct he has!
[11:38] ---
    I'm going to make your favorite
    rice crackers today, Tanjiro.
[11:42] ---
    Wow!
[11:44] ---
    I'll start breaking old rice cakes first.
[11:47] ---
    It's our lucky day, Rokuta!
    Rice crackers!
[11:50] ---
    No fair! Big Bro's not the only one
    who likes rice crackers!
[11:54] ---
    - I like them, too!
    - Me, too!
[11:57] ---
    Then, let's eat them together, okay?
[12:00] ---
    Can you get the grill ready for me?
[12:02] ---
    Okay!
[12:03] ---
    I'll crush them up in the grinding bowl!
[12:05] ---
    Okay, I'll be in charge
    of flipping them over, then!
[12:08] ---
    Me, too!
[12:10] ---
    Okay, then, I'll be in charge of eating them!
[12:12] ---
    No fair!
[12:18] ---
    DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA
    MUGEN TRAIN ARC
[12:23] ---
    DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA
    MUGEN TRAIN ARC
[12:38] ---
    There.
[12:40] ---
    Nezuko, let's go.
[12:51] ---
    What did I just say?
[12:56] ---
    I'm back!
[12:59] ---
    Welcome home, Tanjiro.
[13:01] ---
    Yeah, I'm home!
[13:05] ---
    Welcome home, Big Bro!
[13:09] ---
    Welcome home!
[13:11] ---
    Welcome!
[13:13] ---
    Huh? Where's Nezuko?
[13:16] ---
    Big Sis went up the mountain
    to pick vegetables.
[13:19] ---
    In broad daylight?
[13:23] ---
    She's not supposed to?
[13:26] ---
    Well...
[13:27] ---
    Um...
[13:29] ---
    Tanjiro...
[13:30] ---
    Could you get the bath ready?
[13:32] ---
    I'm going to be busy with this for a while.
[13:38] ---
    I keep saying all these strange things.
[13:42] ---
    Am I tired maybe?
[13:50] ---
    Huh? It's gone.
[13:54] ---
    I wonder what that was
    for just a split second.
[13:57] ---
    A toolbox perhaps?
[14:03] ---
    I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me.
[14:08] ---
    Wake up!
[14:12] ---
    Wake up!
[14:17] ---
    Wake up!
[14:18] ---
    You're under attack!
[14:20] ---
    It's a dream!
[14:21] ---
    This is a dream!
[14:23] ---
    Wake up now!
[14:25] ---
    I see... That's right, I'm...
[14:29] ---
    on board the train!
[14:31] ---
    Wake up and fight!
[14:33] ---
    Fight!
[14:35] ---
    Fight!
[14:42] ---
    Big Bro, give me your pickled radishes!
[14:44] ---
    No, you don't! You stop it right now!
[14:47] ---
    Why are you always
    taking food away from Big Bro?
[14:50] ---
    What's your problem?
[14:52] ---
    You just had seconds!
[14:56] ---
    No good! I'm not awake yet!
    I'm still inside a dream!

[15:00] ---
    How can I get out of it?
[15:02] ---
    Now that I've realized that it's a dream...
[15:05] ---
    What am I supposed to do?
[15:25] ---
    I have to wake up...
[16:05] ---
    Big Bro!
[16:06] ---
    - What should we do? The fire is—
    - Big Bro!
[16:11] ---
    That's Nezuko's scent!
[16:13] ---
    It's Nezuko's blood!
[16:16] ---
    Nezuko...
[16:18] ---
    Nezuko!
[16:24] ---
    My uniform...
[16:25] ---
    My Nichirin Sword...
[16:27] ---
    I'm waking up!
[16:29] ---
    Little by little.
[16:31] ---
    Little by little!
[16:33] ---
    Big Bro?
[16:34] ---
    Big Bro, are you all right?
[16:36] ---
    Big Bro?
[16:38] ---
    Sorry.
[16:40] ---
    I have to go.
[16:46] ---
    I have to hurry back!
[16:50] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:51] ---
    Big Bro!
[16:52] ---
    - Big Bro!
    - Big Bro!
[17:00] ---
    If the demon who's showing me
    this dream is nearby...

[17:04] ---
    I have to find him
    and slash him right away!

[17:08] ---
    Where is he? I have to...
[17:13] ---
    Where are you going, Big Bro?
[17:23] ---
    I picked lots of vegetables today!
[17:30] ---
    Mom! This way!
[17:32] ---
    Big Bro was on fire all of a sudden!
[17:38] ---
    Mom?
[17:40] ---
    Tanjiro, are you all right?
[17:43] ---
    Big Bro...
[17:51] ---
    What's the matter, Tanjiro?
    Why are you dressed like that?
[18:06] ---
    I wish I could stay here...
[18:08] ---
    forever.
[18:13] ---
    I wish I could turn around and go back.
[18:16] ---
    By rights, I should've been living
    like this forever.

[18:21] ---
    Right here.
[18:25] ---
    If none of this had happened...
[18:27] ---
    they'd all have been alive and well now.
[18:30] ---
    And Nezuko would've lived in the sunlight,
    under the blue sky.

[18:38] ---
    If none of this had happened...
[18:40] ---
    If none of this had happened...
[18:43] ---
    I should be here
    making charcoal every day.

[18:47] ---
    I never would've laid a hand on a sword!
[18:53] ---
    If none of this had happened...
[18:56] ---
    If none of this had happened...
[19:11] ---
    But I've lost them now.
[19:15] ---
    I can never go back!
[19:20] ---
    Big Bro!
[19:22] ---
    Don't leave us behind!
[19:31] ---
    Sorry!
[19:33] ---
    I'm sorry, Rokuta!
[19:36] ---
    We can't be together anymore.
[19:40] ---
    But I'll always be thinking of you, okay?
[19:45] ---
    I'll be thinking of you all!
[19:51] ---
    There are lots of things to thank you for.
[19:55] ---
    Lots of things to be sorry for!
[19:58] ---
    But I will never forget you!
[20:00] ---
    No matter what,
    my heart will always be with you!

[20:05] ---
    So, please...
[20:07] ---
    forgive me!
[20:15] ---
    I have to destroy
    his spiritual core right away.
[20:38] ---
    So, this is the inside of his heart?
[20:44] ---
    How can it be so beautiful?
[20:47] ---
    It's so endlessly vast...
[20:49] ---
    and...
[20:52] ---
    also warm.
[20:58] ---
    They're having trouble, aren't they?
[21:00] ---
    I wonder why.
[21:02] ---
    They haven't destroyed
    any of the spiritual cores yet.
[21:07] ---
    Oh well...
[21:09] ---
    I guess it doesn't matter,
    since they're buying me some time.
[21:17] ---
    Not here.
[21:18] ---
    But I can smell a demon, faintly.
[21:21] ---
    What's this, though?
[21:23] ---
    It's like there's a film over everything!
[21:25] ---
    There's a faint demon scent everywhere!
[21:29] ---
    I can't tell the exact location!
[21:31] ---
    I have to hurry!
[21:33] ---
    Nezuko's bleeding!
[21:36] ---
    If everyone else is asleep,
    we're in big trouble!
[21:40] ---
    What should I do?
[21:43] ---
    Am I unable to use
    Total Concentration Breathing now?

[21:47] ---
    Am I just asleep right now?
[21:51] ---
    Tanjiro...
[21:58] ---
    Take up your sword.
[22:01] ---
    There's something you must cut.
[22:14] ---
    There's something...
[22:18] ---
    I must cut.
[22:21] ---
    There's something I must cut...
[22:23] ---
    in order to wake up.
[22:26] ---
    I think I know what it is.
[22:29] ---
    But what if I'm wrong?
[22:32] ---
    If what happens in this dream
    has an effect on reality, too...

[22:36] ---
    there'll be no going back.
[22:40] ---
    Don't hesitate! Do it!
[22:43] ---
    You have to do it!
[22:44] ---
    My death in this dream
    will lead me to reality!

[22:47] ---
    In other words...
[22:50] ---
    what I have to cut is...
[22:54] ---
    my own neck!
[24:36] ---
    Good job preparing yourself for all this.
[24:39] ---
    It's because of what you always told me.
[24:41] ---
    Even if you're in anguish,
[24:44] ---
    try to be a graceful and strong person
    who can feel love for other humans.
[24:49] ---
    All those people suffering at the hands
    of the demons... Nezuko... Take care of them...
[24:54] ---
    Tanjiro.
[24:57] ---
    I'm going to give it my all, Father!
[25:00] ---
    Next, Episode 4, "Insult."
