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

[00:21] ---
    and sever their fate
    before we can defeat her!

[00:25] ---
    We don't have time to waste
    standing around!

[00:29] ---
    A Feudal Fairytale,
    Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.

[00:32] ---
    We'll keep moving forward
    through the hurdles of destiny!

[00:49] ---
    DEMON SLAYER — SETSUNA
    
    
    
[00:53] ---
    HALF-DEMON GIRL — TOWA HIGURASHI
    
    
    
[00:56] ---
    Rock Bullet!
[01:05] ---
    ROCK FIEND
    
    
    
    
    
[01:05] ---
    ROCK FIEND
    
    You must be the daughters of Sesshomaru.
[01:09] ---
    If I send you to your doom,
    I will be recognized as a great demon!
[01:14] ---
    It finally showed up.
[01:16] ---
    Don't let your guard down, Towa.
[01:19] ---
    Rock Bullets!
[01:43] ---
    Setsuna!
[01:44] ---
    Hmm?
[01:50] ---
    You did it, Setsuna!
[01:52] ---
    Not yet!
[01:58] ---
    Here we come!
[02:01] ---
    Cyclone Burst!
[02:04] ---
    What?
[02:15] ---
    Damn it!
[02:18] ---
    It's over.
[02:24] ---
    Do you surrender?
[02:26] ---
    W-We surrender! We surrender!
[02:29] ---
    Please, just don't kill us!
[02:33] ---
    Oh, okay.
[02:36] ---
    Towa, no!
[02:41] ---
    Towa!
[02:47] ---
    You're going to perish...
[02:51] ---
    with me!
[02:56] ---
    Towa!
[03:08] ---
    Towa.
[03:10] ---
    Maybe you should return
    to the other world.
[03:15] ---
    What?
[03:16] ---
    I will save Mother by myself.
[03:18] ---
    And I can deal with Kirinmaru on my own.
[03:21] ---
    Oh. Um...
[03:25] ---
    You'll pay for that!
[03:26] ---
    We're gonna go and grab our boss!
[03:28] ---
    Don't you dare
    run away in the meantime!
[03:31] ---
    Oh, great. There are more of them?
[03:34] ---
    Slaying the demons
    that cause mischief
[03:36] ---
    in the village
    at the base of this mountain...
[03:39] ---
    We can't leave here until we complete
    this job that we've undertaken.
[03:44] ---
    You're right.
[05:28] ---
    "Takechiyo's Request."
[05:34] ---
    Hmm.
[05:35] ---
    CORPSE DEALER
[05:35] ---
    So it's finally happening.
[05:38] ---
    Still, I don't know if
    I can do this by myself.
[05:38] ---
    TAKAMARU TAKECHIYO
[05:38] ---
    Still, I don't know if
    I can do this by myself.
[05:41] ---
    Still, I don't know if
    I can do this by myself.
[05:43] ---
    Huh?
[05:44] ---
    You're telling me to find some help?
[05:47] ---
    I see.
[05:50] ---
    Have you ever heard the story
[05:52] ---
    about the legendary priestess
    who purified the Shikon Jewel?
[05:55] ---
    Such a horrifying tale.
[05:58] ---
    Don't you agree?
[06:00] ---
    Oh, yeah! Sounds scary!
[06:03] ---
    Word is, this priestess has a daughter.
[06:06] ---
    Lately, she's been popping up again.
[06:08] ---
    Oh?
[06:09] ---
    She calls herself Moroha the Demon Killer.
[06:13] ---
    I see.
[06:14] ---
    They say she's a quarter-demon.
[06:16] ---
    - Then she should be easy to beat!
    - Huh?
[06:19] ---
    I heard that her father
    is the half-demon Inuyasha,
[06:21] ---
    the one who brought down Naraku.
[06:24] ---
    Really?
[06:25] ---
    This girl sounds like trouble!
[06:27] ---
    That's too scary!
[06:29] ---
    I'd hate to die from being purified.
[06:32] ---
    Yeah!
[06:33] ---
    You think so too, right?
[06:37] ---
    Argh!
[06:38] ---
    Give me a break!
[06:39] ---
    MOROHA
    
    Give me a break!
[06:40] ---
    MOROHA
    
    I don't have that kind of spirit power!
[06:42] ---
    I don't have that kind of spirit power!
[06:43] ---
    What the hell?
[06:44] ---
    Who are you?
[06:45] ---
    Don't tell me you're...
[06:48] ---
    I'm Moroha the Demon Killer!
[06:52] ---
    - She's gonna purify us!
    - She's gonna purify us!
[06:58] ---
    H-Hey!
[07:01] ---
    Good grief.
[07:03] ---
    I was wondering
    why business has been slow lately.
[07:06] ---
    So this is the reason.
[07:09] ---
    I only need one more ryou
    to pay off my debt to Mr. Jyubei.
[07:14] ---
    Hey, Moroha!
[07:17] ---
    I have a job request for you!
[07:20] ---
    A job from you?
[07:22] ---
    You'd better
    pay me for this!
[07:24] ---
    I'll pay you one ryou!
[07:26] ---
    One ryou?
[07:27] ---
    I can pay off my entire debt!
[07:30] ---
    What kind of job is it?
[07:31] ---
    Ahem. You'll be my bodyguard!
[07:35] ---
    Bodyguard?
[07:40] ---
    I'm counting on you...
[07:41] ---
    KIRINMARU'S DAUGHTER — RION
    
    
    
    
[07:42] ---
    KIRINMARU'S DAUGHTER — RION
    
    Miss Rion.
[07:43] ---
    KIRINMARU'S DAUGHTER — RION
    
    
    
    
[07:46] ---
    I can't show myself before Madam.
[07:49] ---
    RIKU
    
    
    
    
    
[07:50] ---
    RIKU
    Maybe seeing Miss Rion's face
    will help change her mind.
[07:52] ---
    Maybe seeing Miss Rion's face
    will help change her mind.
[07:57] ---
    Aunt Zero...
[07:59] ---
    it's been a long time.
[08:00] ---
    It's me, Rion.
[08:11] ---
    Rion?
[08:12] ---
    Aunt Zero! It's been a while.
[08:16] ---
    How did you get out
    of the barrier around Mount Musubi?
[08:19] ---
    I was rescued by the half-demons.
[08:20] ---
    ZERO
    
    I was rescued by the half-demons.
[08:21] ---
    ZERO
    
    Rescued you?
[08:22] ---
    ZERO
    
    
    
    
    
[08:23] ---
    Lady Setsuna used
    her Yukari no Tachikiri

[08:27] ---
    to sever the fate
    that kept me tied to Mount Musubi.

[08:29] ---
    Setsuna severed your fate?
[08:32] ---
    So she's found herself a blade
    that could withstand her Blood Blade.
[08:36] ---
    I must hurry.
[08:41] ---
    I presented the Kyuyokon
    and the Zanseiken to Lady Towa.
[08:45] ---
    Rion, do you...
[08:48] ---
    intend to bring Kirinmaru down?
[08:50] ---
    Yes.
[08:52] ---
    Father is trying to use
    the Windmill of Time
[08:55] ---
    to travel beyond space and time.
[08:57] ---
    If he succeeds,
[08:58] ---
    KIRINMARU
    
    If he succeeds,
[08:59] ---
    KIRINMARU
    
    this world will cease to exist.
[09:00] ---
    KIRINMARU
    
    
    
    
    
[09:01] ---
    I must stop him, no matter what.
[09:05] ---
    You still care for the world of the living
    even after death, Rion?
[09:11] ---
    Aunt Zero,
    can I ask you to stop Kirinmaru?

[09:15] ---
    I've already severed my ties with him.
[09:20] ---
    But since my dear niece requests it...
[09:24] ---
    I shall keep it in mind.
[09:27] ---
    Your body may be a puppet,
[09:30] ---
    but it was still nice
    to see you one last time.

[09:34] ---
    Aunt Zero?
[09:37] ---
    I've figured out a way
    to survive until the very end.
[09:42] ---
    What?
[09:43] ---
    Give Riku this message.
[09:45] ---
    The next time we meet...
[09:48] ---
    will be when Towa,
    to whom you are so enamored with, dies.
[09:52] ---
    Aunt Zero!
[10:04] ---
    Welcome back, Miss Rion.
[10:12] ---
    Madam said that?
[10:14] ---
    Aunt Zero is just like me.
[10:18] ---
    Time has stopped for her,
[10:19] ---
    and she hasn't been able to move on
    for several hundred years.
[10:24] ---
    We must save her.
[10:27] ---
    Yes, of course.
[10:30] ---
    Now then! Let's hurry to Lady Towa's side.
[10:44] ---
    Does Setsuna hate being with me?
[10:46] ---
    We've been together for a while,
[10:49] ---
    but she still doesn't
    treat me as her sister.

[10:59] ---
    You don't have what it takes
    to protect Lady Towa on your own.

[11:05] ---
    Not at this rate.
[11:11] ---
    LEADER OF THE DEMON SLAYERS —
    KOHAKU
    
    
    
[11:13] ---
    LEADER OF THE DEMON SLAYERS —
    KOHAKU
    Uncle.
[11:15] ---
    Hisui.
[11:16] ---
    HISUI
    
    
    
[11:17] ---
    HISUI
    Did Gyokuto already tell you?
[11:18] ---
    HISUI
    
    
    
[11:18] ---
    HISUI
    Yes.
[11:19] ---
    Yes.
[11:20] ---
    Something about a request from the leader
    of the demon slayers in the north?
[11:24] ---
    Their leader is...
[11:26] ---
    the one who trained me
    to become a demon slayer.
[11:29] ---
    You had a period of training too, Uncle?
[11:32] ---
    Of course.
[11:33] ---
    So what kind of request is it?
[11:36] ---
    It's going to be
    a large-scale extermination.
[11:38] ---
    What should we do
    about Setsuna and Towa?
[11:41] ---
    They seem to be having a hard time
    with their current mission.
[11:45] ---
    I'd like to take them with us
    if we could, but...
[11:50] ---
    On the opposite side of Mount Hakone
    is Mamiana Island.
[11:54] ---
    Is that the place
    where you were born and raised?
[11:57] ---
    Yup.
[11:59] ---
    But who would've thought that you're
    the young lord of the Mamidaira,
[12:03] ---
    the prestigious raccoon dog demon clan.
[12:05] ---
    Yeah, well, actually it's ex-young lord.
[12:09] ---
    I know! I know!
[12:11] ---
    You're saying that you were chased out
    due to some family feud, right?
[12:16] ---
    Just leave it to me!
[12:18] ---
    I'll bring down these evil elders
[12:21] ---
    and restore you to your position
    as the young lord!
[12:31] ---
    Huh? Is that...
[12:35] ---
    What the...
[12:36] ---
    Hiraikotsu?
[12:39] ---
    Sorry about that.
[12:41] ---
    Come on! That was dangerous!
[12:44] ---
    I wanted to confirm what my uncle told me.
[12:48] ---
    Towa, he said that you
    don't know when to back down,
[12:51] ---
    that I should test you
    and see it for myself.
[12:53] ---
    Even I know I should run from that.
[12:55] ---
    No. You just dodged it.
[12:58] ---
    KIRARA
    
    Towa, you refuse to run,
[13:00] ---
    KIRARA
    yet leave yourself open
    for an attack.
[13:01] ---
    KIRARA
    
    So he says.
[13:01] ---
    So he says.
[13:03] ---
    What?
[13:06] ---
    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
    YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[13:11] ---
    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
    YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[13:16] ---
    You're unable to see the thread of fate?
[13:18] ---
    Correct.
[13:20] ---
    It seems I still lack awareness.
[13:24] ---
    Until I master this,
    I cannot save my mother Rin.
[13:29] ---
    To master a weapon, it's necessary
    to build trust with that weapon.
[13:35] ---
    Build trust with a weapon?
[13:37] ---
    That's what my mother said...
[13:39] ---
    to trust Hiraikotsu
[13:40] ---
    SANGO
    
    and to strengthen my bond with it.
[13:43] ---
    SANGO
    
    
    
    
    
[13:44] ---
    That's not something
    that can be done overnight.
[13:48] ---
    Setsuna, you intend to continue being
    a demon slayer with us, don't you?
[13:53] ---
    Then you can work
    on building it through your battles.
[14:01] ---
    Strengthen my bond with it...
[14:07] ---
    The air is fresh out here!
[14:09] ---
    We've flown quite a ways.
[14:12] ---
    Wow.
[14:14] ---
    So that's Mamiana Island?
[14:16] ---
    That mountain on top of the island
    is where the Mamidaira Clan's castle
[14:20] ---
    and the Full Moon
    Raccoon Dog Tower are located.
[14:23] ---
    Full Moon Raccoon Dog Tower?
[14:27] ---
    Young Lord!
[14:29] ---
    Master Takechiyo!
[14:31] ---
    Who's that?
[14:35] ---
    HACHIEMON
    
    
    
    
    
[14:36] ---
    HACHIEMON
    
    My elder, Hachiemon,
[14:37] ---
    HACHIEMON
    
    and Takamaru, my vassal.
[14:38] ---
    and Takamaru, my vassal.
[14:40] ---
    Young Lord!
[14:41] ---
    How wonderful that you have returned!
[14:44] ---
    It's been a long time!
[14:46] ---
    Could she be...
[14:47] ---
    I hired her to help us out.
[14:49] ---
    This is Moroha the Demon Killer!
[14:51] ---
    Hey!
[14:52] ---
    Wh-What?
[14:54] ---
    Huh?
[14:55] ---
    It's been a long time, Lady Moroha!
[14:58] ---
    What?
[15:00] ---
    Huh?
[15:02] ---
    Your father and mother entrusted you
    to me when you were still an infant.
[15:06] ---
    It was I, Hachi, who took you
    to the fortress of the Wolf-Demon Tribe.
[15:11] ---
    Wow, really?
[15:14] ---
    Wait. Does that mean
    you know my mom and dad?
[15:17] ---
    Yes.
[15:18] ---
    We lost such fine people.
[15:23] ---
    They're dead?
[15:24] ---
    Well, I didn't actually see it
    with my own eyes.
[15:26] ---
    But we're talking
    about Kirinmaru and Sesshomaru.
[15:30] ---
    Considering that I haven't seen
    the couple ever since...
[15:36] ---
    Then, what I saw back there...
[15:40] ---
    was the afterlife?
[15:46] ---
    Huh?
[15:48] ---
    What's the matter, you two?
[15:50] ---
    Are you okay?
[15:52] ---
    I must say, Master Takechiyo,
[15:54] ---
    you made the right choice
    to hire Lady Moroha as our helper!
[15:58] ---
    That evil Full Moon Raccoon Dog
[16:00] ---
    was originally sealed away
    by Lady Kagome's arrow!
[16:04] ---
    Really?
[16:07] ---
    Mom's arrow?
[16:09] ---
    With Lady Moroha,
    the daughter of Lady Kagome, on our side,
[16:13] ---
    there's nothing to fear! Victory is ours!
[16:16] ---
    Then I have to live up
    to your expectations.
[16:19] ---
    We're counting on you.
[16:20] ---
    Leave it to me!
[16:24] ---
    Towa, let's go for another round!
[16:27] ---
    Yes, please!
[16:29] ---
    Come at me!
[16:38] ---
    Dodge, Towa!
[16:48] ---
    I give up.
[16:49] ---
    I told you to dodge.
[16:52] ---
    Trying to fight against a sickle and chain
    is harder than I thought.
[16:56] ---
    That's not it.
[16:57] ---
    Huh?
[16:58] ---
    You're not good at dodging, because you
    don't consider running as an option.
[17:04] ---
    Do you think so?
[17:06] ---
    You're ashamed to run away.
[17:10] ---
    I don't know what happened in the past,
[17:12] ---
    but deep in your heart,
    you harbor regret for running away.
[17:16] ---
    Deep in my heart?
[17:18] ---
    Regret for running away?
[17:21] ---
    When I was a child,
    I traveled with many people.
[17:26] ---
    Only two never backed away from anyone,
[17:29] ---
    and that was
    Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kikyo.
[17:33] ---
    They always stood tall with dignity.
    They were impeccable.
[17:38] ---
    So when I watch you, Towa,
    it looks so reckless that I worry.
[17:44] ---
    As the daughter of Lord Sesshomaru,
[17:47] ---
    your life will be threatened
    far more than usual.
[17:51] ---
    So in that case, don't worry.
    It's okay to run away, Towa.
[17:57] ---
    I'll only be taking Setsuna
    on this upcoming expedition.
[18:03] ---
    For now, focus on the work here.
[18:07] ---
    Yes, sir.
[18:08] ---
    Please look out for Setsuna.
[18:22] ---
    Is that the castle?
[18:24] ---
    What's that thing floating over there?
[18:28] ---
    That is a surveillance eyeball.
[18:31] ---
    What happens if that thing spots us?
[18:33] ---
    The enemy will attack at once.
[18:36] ---
    We should plan
    some sort of strategy, then come back.
[18:40] ---
    Shall we do that?
[18:41] ---
    No!
[18:43] ---
    At times like this, you just
    roll the dice and hope for the best!
[18:46] ---
    Charge!
[18:48] ---
    Huh?
[18:50] ---
    H-Hey! What is this?
[18:53] ---
    I can't move?
[18:58] ---
    Uh-oh.
[18:59] ---
    Moroha!
[19:01] ---
    Intruders!
[19:02] ---
    Engage! Engage!
[19:03] ---
    Oh, shit!
[19:14] ---
    Towa...
[19:15] ---
    tomorrow morning, I will set out
[19:17] ---
    for the land of snow
    located near the northern sea.
[19:21] ---
    Got it.
[19:22] ---
    I'll stay put to not cause any trouble.
[19:27] ---
    Don't do anything reckless.
[19:29] ---
    You too, Setsuna.
[19:32] ---
    It's okay to let go of your hand...
[19:34] ---
    - Towa.
    - What?
[19:38] ---
    Hey, Half-Demon Princesses!
[19:41] ---
    Time to pay
    for what you did to our comrade!
[19:43] ---
