**[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] ---**
Boss, please show them!
**[19:47] ---**
So you're the Half-Demon Princesses, eh?
**[19:51] ---**
Looks like the big boss
has finally shown up.
**[19:54] ---**
Yes.
**[19:56] ---**
We're gonna...
**[19:57] ---**
Fight too!
**[19:58] ---**
Let's rock!
**[20:13] ---**
Towa!
**[20:14] ---**
Dodge!
**[20:15] ---**
Scourge of Swallows!
**[20:41] ---**
Towa!
**[20:44] ---**
Setsuna!
**[20:49] ---**
It's true. It's so true.
**[20:54] ---**
I'll burn you down,
Half-Demon Princesses!
**[20:58] ---**
I'm... I'm such a...
**[21:03] ---**
Huh?
**[21:06] ---**
Towa!
**[21:15] ---**
Twin Azure Dragon Wave!
**[21:30] ---**
Towa!
