    EPISODE 4:
    FINAL SELECTION
[02:36] ---
    The reason I won...
[02:38] ---
    was because I learned to detect
    the scent of the opening thread.
[02:44] ---
    When I'm battling someone,
[02:47] ---
    and I pick up this scent,
    then I can see the thread.
[02:53] ---
    The thread is connected from my blade
    to my opponent's opening,
[02:57] ---
    growing taut the instant I see it.
[03:06] ---
    My blade is drawn
    toward it with great force,
[03:09] ---
    and then I slash the opening.
[03:32] ---
    Mr. Urokodaki...
[03:37] ---
    I had no intention of sending you
    to Final Selection.
[03:44] ---
    I didn't want to see
    children die anymore.
[03:48] ---
    I was sure you wouldn't be able
    to slice this boulder, but...
[03:58] ---
    Well done, my boy!
[04:00] ---
    Tanjiro, you're...
[04:03] ---
    a remarkable kid!
[04:13] ---
    Make sure you come back alive
    from Final Selection.
[04:16] ---
    Both your sister and I
    will be waiting for you here.
[04:32] ---
    What's the occasion? There's so much.
[04:35] ---
    You've completed all your training,
    so we're celebrating.
[04:38] ---
    Don't be shy. Eat up.
[04:42] ---
    Thank you very much!
[04:48] ---
    Tanjiro,
[04:50] ---
    there's nothing more I can do for you.
[04:54] ---
    From here on out, you'll be going
    through such hardship and strife.
[04:58] ---
    Your training will seem
    like nothing in comparison.
[05:02] ---
    So, for now, at least,
[05:04] ---
    you should rest well
    without a care in the world.
[05:24] ---
    Hey, Tanjiro...
[05:27] ---
    Yes?
[05:29] ---
    Did you enjoy that hot pot?
[05:32] ---
    Yes! I haven't had such a feast in so long!
[05:36] ---
    A growing boy like you with a hearty appetite
    should get stronger the more he eats,
[05:40] ---
    as well as grow bigger in size.
[05:43] ---
    But that goes for demons, too.
[05:46] ---
    Remember this.
[05:48] ---
    Basically, a demon is as strong
    as the number of humans he's devoured.
[05:53] ---
    So, the more they eat,
    the stronger they get?
[05:57] ---
    That's right.
[05:58] ---
    There are demons who gain power,
    become able to transform their bodies,
[06:01] ---
    and even use strange spells.
[06:10] ---
    When your sense of smell
    becomes keener,
[06:13] ---
    you'll be able to tell how many humans
    a demon's consumed.
[06:19] ---
    What's this?
[06:22] ---
    It's called a "warding mask."
[06:24] ---
    I've charged it with a spell
    to protect you from harm.
[06:30] ---
    Warding mask...
[07:01] ---
    Nezuko...
[07:09] ---
    I'm coming back here
    no matter what, all right?
[07:15] ---
    Don't worry about your sister.
[07:18] ---
    I'll take good care of her.
[07:20] ---
    All right! Thank you very much!
[07:26] ---
    I'll be going, then, Mr. Urokodaki!
[07:34] ---
    Say hello to Sabito and Makomo for me!
[07:38] ---
    Tanjiro...
[07:40] ---
    How do you...
[07:42] ---
    know the names of those dead children?
[07:56] ---
    Wow.
[07:58] ---
    Look at all these wisteria flowers.
[08:01] ---
    Even though they're out of season...
[08:35] ---
    There are so many.
[08:38] ---
    - Everyone...
    - Everyone...
[08:40] ---
    - ...we thank you for coming here tonight.
    - ...we thank you for coming here tonight.
[08:45] ---
    - To the Demon Slayers Corps Final Selection.
    - To the Demon Slayers Corps Final Selection.
[08:47] ---
    There are demons imprisoned
    here on Mt. Fujikasane,
[08:50] ---
    captured alive
    by the Demon Slayer swordsmen,
[08:54] ---
    and unable to leave.
[08:57] ---
    That is because wisteria,
    which demons hate so much,
[09:03] ---
    blooms year-round from the bottom
    to halfway up the mountain.
[09:07] ---
    However, there is no wisteria
    from this point on,
[09:12] ---
    and so demons abound.
[09:14] ---
    You'll need to survive here for seven days
    to pass Final Selection.
[09:22] ---
    - And now, be on your way.
    - And now, be on your way.
[09:40] ---
    Survive for seven days...
    That's all I'm going to think about.
[09:47] ---
    First, I'm going to survive tonight.
[09:50] ---
    Once the sun comes up,
    the demons won't be able to do anything,
[09:53] ---
    so I can get some rest then.
[09:56] ---
    So, I'll have to head east!
[09:58] ---
    I'm gonna make my way
    to where the sunlight will hit first!
[10:06] ---
    This smell... It's a demon!
[10:08] ---
    And it's nearby!
[10:18] ---
    Where is it?
[10:19] ---
    Where's it coming from?
[10:21] ---
    I can't pinpoint
    the direction of the scent!
[10:24] ---
    From above?
[10:35] ---
    Demon...
[10:42] ---
    Damn you!
[10:45] ---
    Don't even try to grab my prey, man!
[10:48] ---
    Get off my turf, dammit!
[10:49] ---
    The hell with you! Just beat it!
[10:52] ---
    Two of them right from the get-go?
    I wonder if I can take them!
[10:55] ---
    That's my prey, you know!
[10:57] ---
    Shut up!
[10:58] ---
    It's first come, first served!
[11:07] ---
    I'm okay! Just calm down
    and watch their movements!
[11:10] ---
    Remember the training!
[11:12] ---
    It's been ages
    since I last had human flesh!
[11:15] ---
    Total Concentration!
[11:16] ---
    Water Breathing!
[11:23] ---
    The scent of the thread!
[11:28] ---
    Fourth Form!
[11:30] ---
    Striking Tide!
[11:41] ---
    I did it!
[11:45] ---
    I defeated demons!
[11:47] ---
    I've grown stronger!
[11:49] ---
    All that training wasn't for nothing!
[11:52] ---
    I've mastered it!
[12:02] ---
    If I slash a demon with the sword
    Mr. Urokodaki gave me,
[12:05] ---
    not even the bones are left behind, huh?
[12:10] ---
    A demon's weak spot is its neck!
[12:12] ---
    But you can't kill it with a normal sword
    even if you slash its neck.
[12:18] ---
    Then, how can I take it down?
[12:21] ---
    The swords wielded
    by the Demon Slayer Corps
[12:23] ---
    were forged with a special kind of steel.
[12:26] ---
    That's the only way to kill a demon.
[12:30] ---
    They're called the "Nichirin Swords."
[12:41] ---
    Rest in peace.
[12:47] ---
    What's this rotten smell?
[12:52] ---
    No one ever told me!
    I never signed up for this!
[12:55] ---
    What's going on?
[13:09] ---
    What the hell is that?
[13:23] ---
    Hey, Sabito...
[13:25] ---
    Do you think Tanjiro can beat that one?
[13:30] ---
    I don't know.
[13:32] ---
    No matter how hard you try,
    it's never enough.
[13:37] ---
    You know that well yourself, don't you?
[13:46] ---
    What's this morphed demon
    doing here anyway? They didn't tell us!
[14:08] ---
    He got eaten!
[14:35] ---
    Don't wimp out!
[14:37] ---
    Save him! Save him! Save him!
[14:40] ---
    I'm not powerless anymore!
[14:42] ---
    Move!
[14:44] ---
    Water Breathing, Second Form!
[14:47] ---
    Water Wheel!
[14:58] ---
    Another sweet little fox has come to me.
[15:02] ---
    "Another"?
[15:04] ---
    Little fox cub,
    what is the year of Meiji now?
[15:10] ---
    It's the Taisho Period now!
[15:12] ---
    Taisho?
[15:20] ---
    Holy crap!!
[15:22] ---
    Time has passed into a new period?!
[15:25] ---
    Again! Again while I've been
    held prisoner inside this place!
[15:31] ---
    Unforgivable! Unforgivable!
[15:34] ---
    Damn you, Urokodaki!
    Damn you, Urokodaki!
[15:37] ---
    Damn you, Urokodaki!
    Damn you, Urokodaki!
[15:39] ---
    How do you know Mr. Urokodaki?
[15:41] ---
    I know him, all right! Because Urokodaki
    is the one who captured me!
[15:46] ---
    I'll never forget that day 47 years ago!
[15:49] ---
    Back when he was still hunting demons!
[15:52] ---
    It was the Edo Period during the Keio Era.
[15:55] ---
    Hunting demons? Edo Period?
[15:58] ---
    You're lying!
[15:59] ---
    No demon has ever lived that long!
[16:02] ---
    The only demons in here should be the ones
    who've eaten just two or three humans!
[16:06] ---
    They don't live long because they're killed
    during Final Selection,
[16:08] ---
    and they even eat their own kind!
[16:12] ---
    Yeah, but I've survived all this time.
[16:15] ---
    Inside this wisteria prison,
    I've eaten at least fifty of you brats.
[16:22] ---
    Fifty?
[16:24] ---
    11, 12...
[16:27] ---
    13.
[16:30] ---
    That makes you Number 14!
[16:33] ---
    What are you talking about?
[16:36] ---
    The number of Urokodaki's disciples
    I've eaten, that's what.
[16:41] ---
    I promised myself to kill
    every one of his disciples.
[16:46] ---
    Let's see... The ones who particularly
    stand out to me... It's those two.
[16:52] ---
    Those two...
[16:53] ---
    That brat's hair was an unusual color.
    He was the most powerful.
[16:57] ---
    He had pinkish hair.
[16:59] ---
    A scar by his mouth.
[17:02] ---
    The other one was a female brat
    in a flowery kimono.
[17:06] ---
    She was small and lacking in power,
    but she was awfully agile.
[17:11] ---
    They had already been killed
    by this demon?!
[17:14] ---
    But I was with them!
[17:16] ---
    That mask.
[17:18] ---
    I can tell by the fox masks.
[17:22] ---
    I know the texture of the masks
    Urokodaki carved.
[17:27] ---
    The same style of carving
    he used for his own goblin mask.
[17:31] ---
    Warding masks, right?
[17:33] ---
    Everyone got eaten just because
    they were wearing them.
[17:36] ---
    They're all here inside my belly.
[17:39] ---
    Urokodaki might as well
    have killed them himself!
[17:44] ---
    When I said that to the girl,
    she was crying and fell into a rage.
[17:50] ---
    And right after that,
    she lost control of her movements.
[17:55] ---
    I ripped off her limbs, and then...
[18:06] ---
    Calm down, Tanjiro.
    Your breathing's uneven.
[18:10] ---
    It's all right. Never mind us!
[18:25] ---
    I'm getting out of here
    while the demon's taking out that guy!
[18:39] ---
    Another of Urokodaki's brats is dying.
[18:44] ---
    I wonder how he's gonna feel
    when another of his kids doesn't come home.
[18:50] ---
    I wonder what kind of look
    he'll have on his face.
[18:54] ---
    Oh man, I wish I could see it.
[18:57] ---
    I really do.
[19:03] ---
    Big Bro!
[19:06] ---
    Big Bro!
[19:10] ---
    He dodged it!
[19:11] ---
    So, he can still move?
[19:14] ---
    Great! I can have some fun!
[19:23] ---
    Damn! No matter how many arms I cut,
[19:25] ---
    they grow back in a second!
[19:28] ---
    You can't defeat me
    just by slashing off my arms.
[19:32] ---
    Then again, even that pink-haired brat
    couldn't slice off my head!
[19:48] ---
    I can't just let this one go!
[19:51] ---
    Before any more lives are sacrificed,
[19:54] ---
    I gotta bring him down now!
[20:01] ---
    A demon's scent
    coming from the ground?
[20:08] ---
    H-He jumped! Dammit, I missed him!
[20:12] ---
    Yeah, but no way can he dodge
    this attack in mid-air!
[20:18] ---
    Do you think Tanjiro's going to lose, too?
[20:22] ---
    His neck is so tough after all.
[20:26] ---
    He may lose, and yet, he may win.
[20:30] ---
    Either way, there's one irrefutable fact.
[20:36] ---
    That Tanjiro...
[20:38] ---
    is the man who sliced
    the toughest, largest boulder of all.
[20:48] ---
    He deflected me!
[20:52] ---
    Total Concentration!
[20:53] ---
    Water Breathing!
[21:00] ---
    He got too close to me!
[21:03] ---
    Not to worry. My neck is tough!
    He can't slash it!
[21:07] ---
    First Form!
[21:09] ---
    As soon as he fails to cut my neck,
    I'm going to crush his head!
[21:13] ---
    Just like I did to the other one!
[21:25] ---
    Water Surface Slash!
[23:00] ---
    PREVIEW
[23:00] ---
    RUSTLE RUSTLE
[23:03] ---
    Water Surface Slash!
[23:04] ---
    How was that Nezuko?
    How cool am I?
[23:09] ---
    What? Sabito was cooler than me?
[23:12] ---
    C-Come on, Nezuko!
[23:15] ---
    R-Right!
[23:16] ---
    I saw beautiful wisteria flowers
    blooming around the exam hall.
[23:21] ---
    Let's go see them
    when you turn back into a human.
[23:24] ---
    Now, it's time for a Taisho secret!
[23:27] ---
    A blond boy named Zenitsu...
    I heard he was brought here
[23:30] ---
    after he got slapped by his master
    for refusing to take the selection exam.
[23:34] ---
    Next, Episode 5, "My Own Steel"!
