[00:03] ---
She's got real sense for her age.
[00:05] ---
Yeah, that's quite amazing.
[00:07] ---
Her form is quite good, too.
[00:09] ---
And since she's so young,
she's a fast learner.
[00:12] ---
BOUNTY HUNTER - MOROHA
[00:12] ---
Yeah? You all keep saying I'm young,
[00:15] ---
but in this era
I'm way older than all of you!
[00:18] ---
Well, that's impossible.
[00:18] ---
HIGURASHI FAMILY'S CAT - BUYO
[00:20] ---
But it's true.
[00:22] ---
But it's true.
[00:22] ---
I'm probably around 450 years older
than everyone here.
[00:28] ---
Everyone's looking so energetic.
[00:29] ---
MEI'S GREAT-GRANDFATHER - GRANDPA
[00:31] ---
Good morning, Grandpa.
[00:33] ---
Looks like you're fitting in quite well.
[00:36] ---
It's been a few days, after all.
[00:38] ---
I see. Since you're doing so well,
I have a gift for you.
[00:41] ---
What? You're giving me something?
[00:44] ---
It's a mummified foot of a Kappa
that brings good fortune.
[00:47] ---
Take good care of it, okay?
[00:49] ---
But this is such a precious item!
[00:50] ---
So you understand its value!
[00:52] ---
Kagome has such a good daughter.
[00:57] ---
Thank you, Kagome!
[01:00] ---
I still have some life left in me!
[01:01] ---
Oh? So it's finally noticed
our presence, huh?

"The Gateway to the Past"

SAINT GABRIEL ACADEMY
[02:53] ---
SAINT GABRIEL ACADEMY
[02:54] ---
I've decided to return to
the Feudal Era.
[02:57] ---
If Setsuna and Moroha
are from the Feudal Era,
[03:00] ---
then the forest that I grew up in
would also be there.
[03:06] ---
That means I raised here,
but was born in the Feudal Era.
[03:11] ---
14 YEAR OLD GIRL - TOWA HIGURASHI
[03:12] ---
I only have gratitude for Papa Sota
for raising someone like me.
[03:16] ---
But I can't...
[03:17] ---
Miss Towa Higurashi.
[03:19] ---
TOWA'S HOMEROOM TEACHER
OSAMU KIRIN
[03:19] ---
Stand up, please.
[03:21] ---
Yes.
[03:22] ---
Mr. Osamu Kirin.
[03:24] ---
Daydreaming won't help you
understand this context.
[03:28] ---
Please read from line 23.
[03:32] ---
"I'm going to visit Kyoto next year."
[03:35] ---
But learning English probably won't be
that useful in Feudal Japan...
[03:41] ---
HIGURASHI
SOTA, MOE, TOWA, MEI

DEMON SLAYER - SETSUNA
[03:53] ---
DEMON SLAYER - SETSUNA
[03:56] ---
What can I do so
Setsuna can sleep again?
[04:00] ---
What do we do to get
Setsuna's dreams back?
[04:03] ---
It goes without saying, Towa.
We gotta capture the Dream Butterfly.
[04:08] ---
And where is this butterfly?
[04:10] ---
Who knows?
But it's definitely not here.
[04:15] ---
We must hurry back to
the other world.
[04:17] ---
Yep. Get back there,
get the butterfly. Easy-peasy.
[04:22] ---
Easy?! Just how are we supposed to
get to the other world?!
[04:26] ---
Oh, right.
[04:27] ---
But don't sweat it.
It'll turn out okay somehow.
[04:32] ---
It doesn't matter if I dream or not.
[04:35] ---
It's not like I have ever suffered from it.
[04:41] ---
Bravo!
[04:43] ---
To master this in such a short time!
[04:43] ---
TOWA'S ADOPTIVE MOTHER - MOE HIGURASHI
[04:46] ---
It's only thanks to the teacher...
[04:48] ---
You're a prodigy that comes once in a hundred,
no, once in five hundred years!
[04:53] ---
You can probably become
a worldwide violinist like me some day.
[04:57] ---
Setsuna.
[04:59] ---
What is it?
[05:01] ---
Moroha is calling for you.
[05:03] ---
Oh, really?
[05:04] ---
TOWA'S STEPSISTER - MEI HIGURASHI
[05:05] ---
She said she found a way back home.
[05:08] ---
There we go.
[05:13] ---
Yo, Setsuna! Rejoice.
I found a way to get back to...
[05:16] ---
Hey, what's with the clothes?
[05:19] ---
You actually look pretty good!
[05:22] ---
I'll kill you.
[05:23] ---
So you found a means to get back?
[05:26] ---
I sure did.
[05:27] ---
The thing that stole our demon energy
back in the rainbow corridor
[05:33] ---
is a demon named Root Head.
[05:35] ---
Root Head?
[05:37] ---
It got tangled with the roots
of the Tree of Ages,
[05:40] ---
and created a time-traveling corridor.
[05:43] ---
I see. You researched well.
[05:45] ---
I didn't research it. I asked it myself.
[05:49] ---
The root looked pretty bored,
so I asked it some questions
[05:52] ---
and then it wouldn't stop talking.
[05:55] ---
Anyway, we can get back to the other world
by negotiating with Root Head.
[06:00] ---
I see. I suppose we can try it.
[06:03] ---
So, what is this?
[06:05] ---
Oh, this?
[06:07] ---
Just a few things that
we'll be able to use over there.
[06:12] ---
NEW SOCIAL STUDIES AND HISTORY
[06:12] ---
Whoops.
[06:14] ---
NEW SOCIAL STUDIES AND HISTORY
[06:14] ---
What the heck is this? Oh well.
[06:16] ---
Into the bag it goes!
[06:18] ---
Oh, and take a look at this!
[06:21] ---
This is the bounty that'll buy me lunch.
[06:25] ---
Let's see, what else is there?
[06:27] ---
How did this all fit in?
[06:29] ---
Who knows?
[06:30] ---
What's everyone up to?
[06:33] ---
Welcome home.
[06:34] ---
Thank you.
[06:35] ---
I'm home, Mei.
[06:37] ---
Guess what?
Moroha found a way back home.
[06:41] ---
TOWA'S ADOPTIVE FATHER
SOTA HIGURASHI
[06:41] ---
That's amazing.
[06:42] ---
Did you really?
[06:43] ---
That backpack!
It looks just like Kagome's.
[06:49] ---
Wouldn't all of that stuff
risk changing history?
[06:52] ---
Don't worry. We can just say
it's demon magic or ninjutsu or something.
[06:56] ---
Oh, that's right.
[06:59] ---
Please take care of this!
[07:02] ---
What?!
[07:02] ---
RECEIPT
[07:03] ---
RECEIPT
W-When did she...
[07:05] ---
It's just some modest shopping
for your cute niece.
[07:10] ---
Yeah, real cute...
[07:12] ---
All right. Preparations complete.
[07:15] ---
Time to make our grand return
to the feudal age!
[07:29] ---
Papa Sota.
[07:30] ---
Towa.
[07:31] ---
Grammy said you were here.
Can I talk to you?
[07:35] ---
Of course. What is it?
[07:39] ---
What a pretty person.
Is she your older sister?
[07:43] ---
Yes, her name's Kagome.
[07:46] ---
What kind of person was she?
[07:47] ---
Let's see.
[07:48] ---
She was always causing a ruckus,
but for different reasons than yours.
[07:53] ---
I'm sorry for troubling you all the time.
I'm always so selfish...
[08:00] ---
You're just like her.
And she also went to the Feudal Era...
[08:05] ---
How did you...
[08:06] ---
You want to go with them, don't you?
[08:10] ---
But you raised me until now, and...
[08:13] ---
Don't worry about it.
[08:15] ---
I knew this day would come
sooner or later.
[08:19] ---
Ever since I found you barefoot
in front of the Sacred Tree.
[08:24] ---
Even if I'm here,
I'll cause nothing but trouble for you.
[08:30] ---
I'm telling you,
you don't have to worry about it.
[08:34] ---
Be safe, okay, Towa?
[08:39] ---
Thank you.
[08:41] ---
I'll be off then... Dad.
[08:47] ---
Moroha, the Elder's Association
would like to give you a parting gift.
[08:52] ---
That's awesome.
Tell them I said thanks!
[08:56] ---
Moroha.
[08:57] ---
MEI'S GRANDMOTHER
GRAMMY
[08:58] ---
Give my regards to Kagome
if you see her.
[09:01] ---
Uh, sure.
Even though I don't really know her.
[09:05] ---
To send off a once-in-five-hundred-year prodigy
to the Feudal Era...
[09:10] ---
Take care of the violin, okay?
[09:13] ---
Oh, this. I'll play it on nights
when I can't fall asleep.
[09:16] ---
I'm leaving then.
[09:17] ---
Be careful.
[09:19] ---
Sis, please come back, okay?
[09:22] ---
You have to come back!
[09:24] ---
You too, Setsuna and Moroha.
Everyone has to come home here.
[09:35] ---
Hup!
[09:36] ---
Thank you, Mei.
[09:38] ---
I can't make any promises,
but I'll do my best.
[09:41] ---
Just promise me!
[09:44] ---
All right. I'll come home once
we get Setsuna's dreams back.
[09:48] ---
Come on, promise her,
both of you!
[09:51] ---
The feudal age isn't
some fairy-tale world.
[09:54] ---
If you're not prepared to die...
[09:55] ---
I am prepared.
But it's not for death.
[09:59] ---
I can keep my head
and come back here safe.
[10:05] ---
All right, let's get going already.
[10:11] ---
Hey, Root Head! We have
something you can't get from this era.
[10:15] ---
Three coveted Rainbow Pearls
stuffed with demon power!
[10:24] ---
If you let us pass through
to the Feudal Era,
[10:26] ---
we'll give you the
Gold, Silver, and Red Rainbow Pearls.
[10:31] ---
How's that, Root Head?
[10:39] ---
All right. I shall allow you to pass.
[10:47] ---
Lady Kaede, that light!
[10:50] ---
Indeed.
[10:51] ---
That's the light from the Sacred Tree.
[10:53] ---
Could Setsuna be returning here?
[10:53] ---

[10:56] ---

CAT DEMON
KIRARA
[11:00] ---
I'll go notify Uncle.
[11:06] ---
There it is!
[11:07] ---
It's the same as back then.
[11:12] ---
Hey, that's mine!
[11:14] ---
- Wait!
- Hey!
[11:16] ---
Give it back!
[11:17] ---
Hey!
[11:24] ---
Thank you, everyone.
[11:27] ---
I'm heading out now.
[11:29] ---
It's a promise, okay?
[11:31] ---
I love all of my sisters, okay?
[11:39] ---
I'm sure they'll come home.
[11:41] ---
Because all of them are family, after all.
[11:44] ---
They're all my adorable
great-grandchildren.
[11:46] ---
Yes.
[11:48] ---
They really are.
[11:52] ---
That's right.
[11:54] ---
I must've passed through
this corridor when I was four.
[11:59] ---
The Feudal Era is just ahead...
[12:01] ---
That's where Setsuna's
dreams were stolen.
[12:04] ---
I'll definitely get them back for her!
[12:07] ---
Moroha, was it really okay
to make such a promise to Root Head?
[12:11] ---
It's fine.
[12:12] ---
If it comes to it,
I could just slay Root Head.
[12:16] ---
Huh?
[12:17] ---
Setsuna, did you just call me
by my name?
[12:22] ---
What of it?
[12:25] ---
Nothing at all! This isn't so bad.
[12:27] ---
It is bad!
You need to keep your promises.
[12:30] ---
Lies are bad.
[12:31] ---
It wasn't a lie, it was a means to an end.
[12:45] ---
A decade's worth of time has passed.
[12:47] ---
The Half-Demon Princesses
travel under my feet.
[12:51] ---
If my predictions are correct,
those three will save the world.
[12:58] ---
For now, I shall let Root Head dream.
[13:05] ---
This is the Feudal Era?
[13:07] ---
No, something's not right.
[13:09] ---
Stay alert.
[13:10] ---
Moroha, I bet you had us
take the wrong path.
[13:13] ---
There is no wrong path
because it's only one path!
[13:16] ---
Towa, now is a good time to warn you.
[13:19] ---
In the feudal age,
there is no room for "hesitation."
[13:22] ---
R-Right...
[13:23] ---
If you don't kill your enemy,
they will kill you.
[13:27] ---
If it's just you, then it's fine.
[13:29] ---
But we can't have you
dragging us down with you!
[13:34] ---
Geez, all right.
[13:35] ---
Both of you.
[13:38] ---
What is this place?
[13:47] ---
You've done well to come here,
Half-Demon Princesses.
[13:51] ---
You've done well to come here,
Half-Demon Princesses.
[13:54] ---
Half-Demon Princesses?
Are you referring to us?
[13:57] ---
Is this Root Head?
[13:59] ---
No, it's not.
I don't sense any demon energy.
[14:02] ---
Who are you?
[14:03] ---
SPIRIT OF THE TREE OF AGES
[14:03] ---
SPIRIT OF THE TREE OF AGES
[14:04] ---
SPIRIT OF THE TREE OF AGES
I am the Tree of Ages.
[14:07] ---
Is the Tree of Ages
supposed to look like a priestess?
[14:10] ---
No, this is a borrowed appearance.
[14:13] ---
It appears this form was created
[14:15] ---
from the spirit of the Arrow of Sealing
that was stuck on my trunk.
[14:22] ---
I believe the priestess' name was Kikyo.
[14:27] ---
Kikyo?
[14:28] ---
Are you the one who summoned us here?
[14:31] ---
Yes. Daughters of Sesshomaru,
I have a request for you.
[14:36] ---
Ah-ha! So you are Sesshomaru's...
[14:39] ---
But hey, wait a second.
[14:41] ---
Sorry, but I'm not Sesshomaru's daughter.
[14:44] ---
Listen to my tale until the end, Moroha.
[14:48] ---
H-How did she know my name?
[14:51] ---
So what's this request?
[14:53] ---
I would like you to slay a certain demon.
[14:56] ---
You got it! It's Root Head, right?
[14:58] ---
No. Root Head means nothing to me.
[15:02] ---
The demon I would like you to slay
is the Beast King Kirinmaru.
[15:06] ---
Kirinmaru?
[15:07] ---
He is attempting to twist time,
[15:09] ---
swallow this world
into the degenerate age,
[15:12] ---
and return it to nothingness.
[15:15] ---
Kirinmaru is a king who,
alongside the Great Dog-Demon,
[15:18] ---
had long reigned over the demon beasts.
[15:22] ---
Kirinmaru ruled in the East,
[15:24] ---
while the one who held the West
was your grandfather,
[15:28] ---
the Great Dog-Demon.
[15:30] ---
The Great Dog-Demon, huh?
I see, it's a name that I've heard of.
[15:36] ---
Equal in strength,
the two warriors ruled their lands
[15:39] ---
while keeping watch over the other
to maintain the balance in power.
[15:44] ---
However, your father Sesshomaru
[15:47] ---
renounced his Great Dog-Demon title
and walked his own path.
[15:53] ---
Taking that as an opportunity,
[15:56] ---
Kirinmaru plots to plunge
this world into devastation.
[15:59] ---
The power to travel across time
would be necessary to fight him.
[16:04] ---
So that's where we come in.
[16:06] ---
Yes.
[16:08] ---
As ones with deep ties to
the Great Dog-Demon,
[16:11] ---
you three must slay Kirinmaru.
[16:14] ---
You will agree to this, won't you,
Half-Demon Princesses?
[16:17] ---
I'm all for it!
[16:19] ---
But when I succeed,
I'll be collecting a worthy bounty.
[16:23] ---
And you, daughters of Sesshomaru?
[16:26] ---
I refuse.
[16:28] ---
Huh?!
[16:29] ---
You will not do it?
[16:31] ---
I will not.
[16:32] ---
I decline to accept.
[16:34] ---
For what reason?
[16:35] ---
First, I do not know this Sesshomaru
who you claim is my father.
[16:40] ---
Why in the world must we atone for
such a demon's failure?
[16:45] ---
If Kirinmaru must be defeated,
then have that Sesshomaru deal with it.
[16:51] ---
Tree of Ages,
you're asking the wrong people.
[16:57] ---
I was right to place confidence in you.
[17:01] ---
Sesshomaru cannot defeat Kirinmaru.
[17:04] ---
That is because these two Beast Kings
currently walk the same path.
[17:09] ---
If you defeat Kirinmaru,
Sesshomaru will emerge.
[17:12] ---
Similarly, if you defeat Sesshomaru...
[17:15] ---
In other words, you must defeat them
at the same time.
[17:19] ---
At the same time?
[17:21] ---
You are not atoning for
Sesshomaru's failure.
[17:25] ---
I'm telling you to defeat two demons
who have taken the wrong path.
[17:29] ---
Then that's more reason we can't accept
what you're asking us to do.
[17:34] ---
Even if we've never met him,
Sesshomaru is our father, right?
[17:39] ---
Don't ask his daughters
to do something like that!
[17:42] ---
So the two daughters of Sesshomaru
will not accept my request?
[17:49] ---
Yes, that's exactly it.
We do not accept!
[17:52] ---
Oh, man.
[17:54] ---
It seems you do not understand
what will happen...
[17:57] ---
if you disobey the Tree of Ages.
[18:00] ---
I won't let anyone stop us
from our own mission.
[18:03] ---
Yes, we will do as we please.
[18:06] ---
I ask one last time.
Will you not slay him?
[18:10] ---
I will not repeat myself.
[18:11] ---
I have no doubts, either.
[18:12] ---
Let us pass, or we'll cut you down.
[18:14] ---
Wait, are we really doing this?
[18:17] ---
Very well.
Fate is a continuously spinning wheel.
[18:21] ---
We shall meet again.
[18:23] ---
What?
[18:24] ---
What's going on?
[18:26] ---
Awaken, Root Head.
[18:28] ---
The Rainbow Pearls you desire
are getting away.
[18:35] ---
Lady Kaede.
[18:36] ---
LEADER OF THE DEMON SLAYERS
KOHAKU
[18:37] ---
Could this presence be...
[18:38] ---
Root Head's demon power is increasing.
[18:40] ---
Root Head's demon power is increasing.
[18:41] ---
What?
[18:43] ---
It's too dangerous here.
[18:50] ---
Hey, is everyone okay?
[18:51] ---
Where is this?
[18:53] ---
Dang it.
[18:54] ---
The Tree of Ages sent us
to where Root Head is, of all places.
[18:56] ---
PLANT DEMON
ROOT HEAD
[18:58] ---
A promise is a promise.
Hand over the three Rainbow Pearls.
[19:03] ---
So this is Root Head.
[19:04] ---
Sorry! We can't give you
the Rainbow Pearls anymore.
[19:07] ---
Then perish where you stand.
[19:10] ---
Cyclone Burst!
[19:17] ---
Crimson Dragon Wave!
[19:21] ---
It'll never end like this.
[19:22] ---
Root Head should have a weak spot.
If we can find it...
[19:31] ---
What? My energy blade is fading!
[19:34] ---
Shit! Your demon powers
are being drained!
[19:36] ---
Can't you do anything, Moroha?
[19:39] ---
That's right, I had this.
[19:42] ---
Here we go!
[19:43] ---
Here! Have a taste of a
lucky kappa's foot!
[19:51] ---
My powers are back!
[19:54] ---
Thanks Grandpa!
It really did bring me good fortune.
[19:58] ---
We'll hit it all at once.
[19:59] ---
Scourge of Swallows!
[20:02] ---
Heavenly Arrow Barrage!
[20:10] ---
That light is...
[20:12] ---
Towa! Aim for the spot
under that big eye!
[20:15] ---
That's its weak spot. Finish it off!
[20:17] ---
I won't let you.
[20:19] ---
There, huh?
[20:21] ---
Don't hesitate, don't
hesitate, don't hesitate!
[20:28] ---
What?
[20:29] ---
What's that blue dragon?
[20:50] ---
A-All good, Moroha?
[20:54] ---
So this is the Feudal Era...
[20:56] ---
Setsuna.

Setsuna!
[20:59] ---
I'm glad you're safe.
[21:00] ---
Yes. I have managed to return.
[21:02] ---
Well, thank goodness.
[21:04] ---
I can't sense Root Head's demon energy.
What happened?
[21:08] ---
We defeated it.
[21:10] ---
What? I-Is that true?
[21:12] ---
O-Oh, that's right.
[21:15] ---
If we defeated Root Head, how are we
geting back to the modern era?
[21:20] ---
Maybe this wasn't a good idea.
[21:26] ---
Those girls have such fighting spirit.
[21:30] ---
I am the Tree of Ages,
and yet they refused my wish.
[21:34] ---
Are you sure about this?
[21:37] ---
If you forsake this girl,
she will never awaken.
[21:50] ---
I suppose this is one path as well.
[21:55] ---
Perhaps staying like this
would be best in the end.

As one of the Four Perils,
Tokotsu's bounty is not just a bag of gold.
[23:45] ---
He's worth at least a gold ingot.
