[00:01] ---
    Soon after we were born,
    Kirinmaru's sister Zero

[00:04] ---
    placed the silver-scale curse
    on our mother Rin.

[00:06] ---
    It's a curse that makes the bearer
    rot away alive.

[00:11] ---
    Furthermore, Zero is bound to our mother
    by the threads of fate,

[00:14] ---
    making it impossible
    to undo the curse or defeat her.

[00:19] ---
    Our mother had been surviving
    within the Tree of Ages,

[00:22] ---
    using the Dream Butterfly
    to receive Setsuna's sleep

[00:25] ---
    and stall the progression of the curse.
[00:28] ---
    But when Sesshomaru kills the butterfly,
    time begins to move again for our mother.

[00:33] ---
    To save our mother,
    we must track down Zero

[00:36] ---
    and sever their fate
    before we can defeat her!

[00:39] ---
    We don't have time to waste
    standing around!

[00:43] ---
    A Feudal Fairytale,
    Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.

[00:46] ---
    We'll keep moving forward
    through the hurdles of destiny!

SIGN    TOWA HIGURASHI
[02:39] ---
    It's been two days now.
[02:41] ---
    I wonder if Setsuna will wake up.
[02:41] ---
    I wonder if Setsuna will wake up.
SIGN    DEMON SLAYER — SETSUNA
[02:48] ---
    She wasn't able to sleep
    because of the Dream Butterfly,
[02:50] ---
    so I guess it can't be helped.
[02:52] ---
    Towa, could you come out
    for a moment?
[02:52] ---
    Towa, could you come out
    for a moment?
SIGN    KAEDE
[02:55] ---
    Sure.
[02:55] ---
    Sure.
[02:57] ---
    I hope Setsuna is having sweet dreams.
[03:12] ---
    Yesterday, a field
    in a neighboring village was ruined.
[03:16] ---
    It might be the work of an apparition.
[03:20] ---
    Got it. I'll head over there.
[03:27] ---
    "Hisui the Demon Slayer."
SIGN    PRINCESS AIYA
[03:35] ---
    Ah! You're finally awake!
[03:38] ---
    You're Princess Aiya!
[03:40] ---
    Where am I?
[03:41] ---
    As you can see, you're in my mansion!
[03:45] ---
    Why am I in a kimono?
[03:48] ---
    I think you look quite nice!
[03:51] ---
    You dressed me in these? Ridiculous!
[03:54] ---
    Shh! Don't make a fuss.
[03:57] ---
    Give me back my clothes! I'm leaving!
[04:01] ---
    At the very least...
[04:03] ---
    please listen... to what I have to say.
[04:11] ---
    What?
[04:12] ---
    You want me to take your lessons for you?
[04:15] ---
    Luckily, not only are we
    around the same height and age,
[04:19] ---
    but the nun who is coming today
    as my etiquette instructor
[04:22] ---
    still hasn't met me in person.
[04:24] ---
    In other words,
    you are the perfect substitute!
[04:28] ---
    I refuse!
[04:31] ---
    Please... let me finish
    what I have to say.
[04:39] ---
    Being a princess may seem elegant,
    but it's quite miserable.
[04:44] ---
    We're nothing more than a tool
    for a marriage of convenience.
[04:48] ---
    A tool for a marriage of convenience?
[04:51] ---
    From the time we are little
    until we are married,
[04:54] ---
    we are forced to learn about the rituals
    and traditions of a samurai family
[04:59] ---
    and many other types of lessons,
[05:00] ---
    all so we can be married off
    to some lord whom we've never met.
[05:05] ---
    From the moment I was born,
    I have never had a shred of freedom.
[05:09] ---
    Oh, what a miserable life I have.
[05:14] ---
    I'm asking you to do this for me
    for just one day!
[05:18] ---
    Please, I'm begging you!
[05:23] ---
    Heave-ho, heave-ho...
[05:28] ---
    I did it!
[05:30] ---
    I'm free from my detestable
    academic and etiquette lessons
[05:32] ---
    and the bothersome instructor!
[05:34] ---
    Princess! You must
    not show your face here!
[05:37] ---
    People will recognize you!
[05:38] ---
    Oops. I just couldn't help myself.
[05:40] ---
    So, Princess, where to?
[05:42] ---
    The harbor!
[05:43] ---
    The harbor?
[05:46] ---
    I heard a rumor
    that something interesting shows up there.
[05:49] ---
    I'd love to see it in person!
[05:51] ---
    Oh, I just can't wait!
[06:00] ---
    Pleased to meet you.
[06:03] ---
    I am Kin'u,
    your etiquette instructor for today.
[06:09] ---
    I am Princess Aiya.
[06:14] ---
    HISUI
[06:14] ---
    HISUI
    
     Hisui?
[06:16] ---
    HISUI
    
    What? Setsuna?
[06:17] ---
    What? Setsuna?
[06:19] ---
    I see.
[06:20] ---
    Princess Aiya had you completely duped.
[06:24] ---
    I knew it.
[06:25] ---
    I was a fool for feeling any sympathy
    about her circumstances!
[06:30] ---
    I never expected
    to hear you talk about sympathy.
[06:33] ---
    Being with Towa has changed you, Setsuna.
[06:36] ---
    It's not like that!
[06:38] ---
    So what are you doing here, Hisui?
[06:40] ---
    My sister forced this on me.
[06:42] ---
    Your sister? The one who makes
    equipment for the demon slayers?
[06:48] ---
    No, not Gyokuto, but Kin'u.
[06:51] ---
    My sisters are twins.
SIGN    CAT DEMON — KIRARA
[06:58] ---
    Oh, Hisui!
[07:00] ---
    It's been a while! How have you been?
[07:03] ---
    Oh, Kin'u!
[07:06] ---
    You seem quite busy
    with grooming Kirara.
[07:06] ---
    You seem quite busy
    with grooming Kirara.
SIGN    KIN'U
[07:09] ---
    You seem quite busy
    with grooming Kirara.
[07:10] ---
    Huh? Oh, well...
[07:13] ---
    So, um, why have you come
    all the way here?
[07:16] ---
    I had a small favor to ask of you.
[07:19] ---
    But you seem so busy with that grooming.
[07:23] ---
    I wonder what I should do.
[07:26] ---
    So what do you want me to do?
[07:28] ---
    Oh, my! You'll do it? I'm so happy!
[07:36] ---
    My sister accepted a large payment
    from His Excellency,
[07:40] ---
    but is making me do all the work,
[07:43] ---
    because she has
    other matters to attend to.
[07:45] ---
    Other matters?
[07:47] ---
    I doubt if she even has
    other matters to attend to.
SIGN    GYOKUTO
[07:56] ---
    Perhaps my sister is having fun
[07:57] ---
    spending that large advance
    she received right about now.
[07:59] ---
    spending that large advance
    she received right about now.
[08:07] ---
    Here is the weapon you asked for.
SIGN    NORTHERN DEMON SLAYERS LEADER
[08:10] ---
    Sorry for all the trouble.
[08:12] ---
    Not at all.
    We look forward to serving you again.
[08:14] ---
    That reminds me.
[08:16] ---
    There's a job I'd like Kohaku to handle.
[08:21] ---
    Honestly...
[08:22] ---
    my sister's smooth-talking ways
    are just like my father's.
[08:26] ---
    Your father? As in Monk Miroku?
[08:29] ---
    Yeah. My father, sister,
    and even my mother,
[08:31] ---
    they're not the easiest people
    to deal with.
[08:37] ---
    Someone's coming!
[08:44] ---
    Now then,
    let's start off with tanka poetry.
[08:48] ---
    You expect me to compose a waka poem?
[08:51] ---
    Yes. Education is crucial for a princess,
    even in a time of war like this.
[08:54] ---
    You are expected to be versed
[08:56] ---
    in etiquette, poetry,
    and the tea ceremony.
[08:58] ---
    Uh...
SIGN    OGIGAYATSU HIIRAGI DANJO
[09:04] ---
    I've had many etiquette instructors
[09:05] ---
    try to teach my daughter,
[09:07] ---
    try to teach my daughter,
[09:08] ---
    but I have a good feeling about this one.
[09:10] ---
    It was worth paying
    that nun's enormous fee.
[09:20] ---
    Now that you have readied the ink,
[09:22] ---
    I would like you
    to compose a poem, Princess.
[09:24] ---
    His Excellency already left.
    There's no need for that.
[09:27] ---
    But I was asked
    to be your etiquette instructor.
[09:31] ---
    I've never composed a waka poem before.
[09:33] ---
    "Composing a waka poem
    is not about talent or education...
[09:36] ---
    but what comes from your heart.
[09:39] ---
    However, it is difficult
    to become skilled at it without practice."
[09:43] ---
    These are the words of Fujiwara no Tameie.
[09:45] ---
    Now before you try composing one,
    let's read a few to familiarize yourself.
[09:51] ---
    I'm back.
[09:53] ---
    Huh?
[09:55] ---
    She's gone!
[09:56] ---
    Setsuna?
[09:58] ---
    Setsuna! Setsuna!
[10:01] ---
    What's the matter?
[10:02] ---
    Setsuna has disappeared!
[10:04] ---
    Perhaps she went out for a walk.
[10:08] ---
    There's no need to be so worried.
[10:11] ---
    Setsuna.
[10:17] ---
    I've read it.
[10:18] ---
    Well done.
[10:19] ---
    But why go this far?
[10:21] ---
    It doesn't hurt
    to do this once in a while.
[10:24] ---
    My father and mother
    used to tell me all the time
[10:26] ---
    to never neglect one's education
    and cultural enrichment.
[10:29] ---
    Monk Miroku said that?
[10:31] ---
    Yeah. Despite the way he is now,
[10:34] ---
    my father made sure
    I was properly educated.
[10:37] ---
    Figuring I would become
    a monk just like him,
[10:42] ---
    MIROKU
[10:42] ---
    MIROKU
    I did my best to learn
    what I could.
[10:45] ---
    Why didn't you become a Buddhist monk
    and follow in his footsteps?
[10:48] ---
    Because...
[10:49] ---
    my sister Kin'u did before I could.
[10:51] ---
    And furthermore, my sister Gyokuto
    took over my mother's workshop.
[10:55] ---
    Before long,
    I realized I had nowhere to go.
[10:58] ---
    I felt as if I had lost my path in life.
[11:02] ---
    My uncle was the one
    who helped me out of it.
SIGN    BEETLE DEMON — LONGHORN BEETLE
[11:27] ---
    Hisui!
[11:35] ---
    KOHAKU
[11:36] ---
    KOHAKU
    Are you all right, Hisui?
[11:37] ---
    KOHAKU
    S-Sorry... Uncle.
[11:38] ---
    S-Sorry... Uncle.
[11:40] ---
    Take cover!
[11:58] ---
    Uncle!
[12:00] ---
    My uncle didn't give up.
[12:02] ---
    Even though his face was scarred,
[12:04] ---
    he kept on fighting for the villagers
    who were troubled by this demon.
[12:08] ---
    Upon seeing his honorable actions,
    I had a deep desire to follow him.
[12:14] ---
    So that's why you became a demon slayer.
[12:17] ---
    Yeah. Quite honestly, I think it was good
    for me to be away from my family.
[12:20] ---
    If I had remained with them,
[12:22] ---
    they would have continued to treat me
    as the baby of the family.
[12:26] ---
    Grateful as I am,
    family can be a nuisance.
[12:31] ---
    Is that how it is?
[12:33] ---
    I don't really know what family is like.
[12:40] ---
    Someone else is coming!
[12:42] ---
    Please help us!
[12:43] ---
    A demon has captured our princess!
[12:45] ---
    What?
[12:46] ---
    Setsuna!
[12:48] ---
    Where are you, Setsuna?
[12:53] ---
    Setsuna.
[12:56] ---
    And Moroha is being Moroha too!
[12:57] ---
    I can't believe she'd be bounty hunting
    at a time like this!
[13:01] ---
    Run for it!
    It's Moroha the Demon Killer!
[13:04] ---
    Hey! Hold on a second!

    Just when I finally got my debt

    What is going on here?

[13:19] ---
    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
    YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[13:23] ---
    Unbelievable.
[13:25] ---
    She went to go see a demon,
    only to get herself captured?
[13:28] ---
    That princess is nothing but trouble.
[13:31] ---
    Wait. I'll come with you.
[13:33] ---
    No.
[13:35] ---
    If the princess is also a mannequin,
    they'll figure out she's missing.
[13:38] ---
    I need you to stay here
    and continue being Princess Aiya.
[13:40] ---
    But—
[13:42] ---
    You have my word.
[13:43] ---
    I will bring
    Princess Aiya back here safely.
[13:48] ---
    Don't worry.
    Have faith in me, Princess Setsuna.

    Hurry up and save me!
[14:08] ---
    Yes, of course!
    We've just called for help!
[14:10] ---
    Hurry it up!
[14:13] ---
    I can't take this.

    Look out!
[14:46] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?
[14:48] ---
    Hurry up! Save me!
[14:50] ---
    Huh?
[14:56] ---
    Curse you, octopus demon!
[14:58] ---
    Who do you think I am?
[15:01] ---
    I'm going to shove you
    into an octopus pot,
[15:03] ---
    roast you over a fire,
    and make a boiled octopus out of you!
[15:06] ---
    - Princess!
    - Princess!
[15:09] ---
    Don't move, Princess! You're making it
    too dangerous for me to attack!
[15:12] ---
    How am I supposed to stay still
    in this situation?
[15:17] ---
    Kirara, let's get behind it!
[15:21] ---
    Hiraikotsu!
[15:21] ---
    Whoa!
[15:24] ---
    Come on! Hurry up and save me!
[15:28] ---
    This is a problem.
[15:36] ---
    Kin'u?
[15:48] ---
    It looks like the batch I made today
    turned out nicely.
[15:51] ---
    Huh? Gyokuto, you're here too?
[15:53] ---
    Hisui! We'll draw Mr. Octopus' attention.
[15:57] ---
    Hurry up and go save that princess.
[16:01] ---
    Honestly. This is no laughing matter!
[16:06] ---
    Hiraikotsu!
[16:08] ---
    Wow, amazing!
[16:09] ---
    Do it again! Again!
[16:12] ---
    Princess! I'm begging you,
    please stay still!
[16:14] ---
    I won't be able to attack!
[16:16] ---
    But it's not too often that I get to see
    a battle up close and as a participant!
[16:21] ---
    Come on, demon slayer!
[16:22] ---
    Do it again! Get him!
[16:29] ---
    Come on, Hisui!
[16:30] ---
    The princess is telling you to do it!
[16:33] ---
    Hurry up and get it over with!
[16:38] ---
    Damn you!
[16:40] ---
    More! More!
[16:49] ---
    He must have a vital spot.
[16:53] ---
    There it is!
[16:58] ---
    Now! Hiraikotsu!
[17:04] ---
    Wow! You hit him! Magnificent!
[17:07] ---
    This is truly magnificent!
[17:13] ---
    Oh, no!
[17:19] ---
    Oh!
[17:22] ---
    Are you all right?
[17:25] ---
    Oh, I'm, uh... I'm fine.
[17:35] ---
    Honestly, this all happened
    because you didn't stay home and study.
[17:41] ---
    How did you know about that?
[17:43] ---
    That's because
    I'm your etiquette instructor.
[17:46] ---
    What? But I heard
    that a nun was coming today.
[17:50] ---
    Princess, he may not look it,
    but my brother can also be a fine nun.
[17:54] ---
    And a beautiful nun just like us too.
[17:57] ---
    Sisters!
[17:59] ---
    - Princess! We're glad you're safe!
    - Princess! We're glad you're safe!
[18:01] ---
    Now then, Princess,
    you should hurry back home.
[18:05] ---
    No!
[18:06] ---
    I'm not riding the palanquin.
[18:09] ---
    Huh?
[18:11] ---
    Come on. Can't you tell? You see...
[18:15] ---
    I-I want to... go back with you.
[18:19] ---
    How come?
[18:20] ---
    Oh, my, Hisui.
[18:21] ---
    The princess has chosen you personally.
[18:23] ---
    Come on. Why don't you
    hurry up and take her?
[18:27] ---
    Oh! I get it.
[18:28] ---
    The princess wants to ride Kirara.
[18:30] ---
    Go right ahead.
[18:32] ---
    That's not it!
[18:35] ---
    Never mind.
[18:38] ---
    Please hold on tight.
[18:40] ---
    Okay!
[18:41] ---
    Well, Sisters, see you later!
[18:47] ---
    That boy sure has matured, hasn't he?
[18:50] ---
    Before we realized it, in many ways.
[18:53] ---
    I'll need to request payment
    for slaying that demon
[18:56] ---
    on top of giving etiquette lessons.
[18:58] ---
    Heave-ho, heave-ho...
[19:04] ---
    Oh, come to think of it,
    I wonder what my sisters needed to do
[19:07] ---
    after forcing me
    to be your etiquette instructor?
[19:11] ---
    I forgot to ask them.
[19:12] ---
    Wow! We're floating.
[19:13] ---
    We're floating!
[19:16] ---
    Princess, I told you to stay still!
[19:19] ---
    You're going to fall again!
[19:21] ---
    Don't worry!
[19:22] ---
    I'm holding on tight to you.
[19:25] ---
    The other princess is waiting for you.
[19:27] ---
    Let's hurry.
[19:38] ---
    Huh? Where did that girl go?
[19:43] ---
    F-Father?
[19:46] ---
    Honestly, what am I going to do with you?
[19:48] ---
    Gah! So you found out?
[19:51] ---
    You're getting a severe lecture today!
    Come with me, Aiya!
[19:57] ---
    Forgive me, Father!
[20:02] ---
    So he found out after all.
[20:04] ---
    Yes. Soon after you left.
[20:06] ---
    I doubt that princess will grow up
    the way her father wants.
[20:33] ---
    Now you will be able to sleep.
[20:36] ---
    However, there is no time for that.
[20:39] ---
    How can I break the curse?
[20:41] ---
    That is up to you.
[20:44] ---
    I know that.
[20:45] ---
    This isn't going to help me
    learn to sever their fate.

[20:51] ---
    Setsuna!
[20:52] ---
    So this is where you were!
