    THE GRIM BUTTERFLY OF DESPAIR
[01:41] ---
    "The Grim Butterfly of Despair."
[01:45] ---
    GRIM BUTTERFLY
[01:58] ---
    KIRINMARU'S DAUGHTER – RION
[02:01] ---
    Now then, Rion,
[02:01] ---
    OSAMU KIRIN
[02:02] ---
    let's embark on our journey
    to purify the world.
[02:21] ---
    It's starting to move!
[02:23] ---
    I wonder what it intends to do!
[02:26] ---
    We shall wipe out
    all unnecessary demons of this world!
[02:44] ---
    It's absorbing demons!
[02:46] ---
    What incredible power.
[02:47] ---
    TOWA HIGURASHI
[02:48] ---
    Mr. Kirin really does intend
    to eliminate all the demons of this world.
[02:56] ---
    Oh, no! It's heading to Mamiana Island!
[02:56] ---
    TAKECHIYO
[02:59] ---
    If it gets there,
    things will be really bad!
[03:03] ---
    In that case, I'll settle things
    with Meido Zangetsuha!
[03:03] ---
    KAGOME
    INUYASHA
[03:06] ---
    Please wait!
[03:08] ---
    RIKU
[03:08] ---
    Miss Rion is being held captive in there!
[03:11] ---
    This is no time
    to be saying such things!
[03:13] ---
    Dad!
[03:14] ---
    MOROHA
[03:14] ---
    We made a promise
    that we would save Rion!
[03:19] ---
    I guess I have no choice!
[03:23] ---
    It's coming!
[03:27] ---
    Run away!
[03:27] ---
    HACHIEMON OF AWA
[03:29] ---
    KIKUNOSUKE MAMIDAIRA
[03:30] ---
    - It's coming this way!
    - What?
[03:36] ---
    SHIPPO
[03:36] ---
    Shippo, get me closer
    to the Grim Butterfly!
[03:38] ---
    – What?
    – Hurry!
[03:43] ---
    Stay out of my business!
[03:49] ---
    Inuyasha!
[03:50] ---
    Tsk!
[03:51] ---
    Adamant Barrage!
[03:59] ---
    My Adamant Barrage was neutralized!
[04:12] ---
    That's Inuyasha and Lady Kagome!
[04:15] ---
    They're alive!
[04:17] ---
    If we don't stop it soon,
    something terrible will happen!
[04:20] ---
    Takechiyo, get us closer.
[04:22] ---
    What do you intend to do?
[04:24] ---
    SETSUNA
[04:24] ---
    We're going to enter the Grim Butterfly!
[04:27] ---
    We're going to save Rion!
[04:29] ---
    Will you be all right?
[04:30] ---
    I'll lead the way!
[04:44] ---
    Miss Rion!
[04:45] ---
    I've brought Lady Towa and the others.
[04:48] ---
    Please allow them in.
[04:53] ---
    What's this?
    She's acting pretty reasonable.
[04:56] ---
    I think that Miss Rion...
[04:57] ---
    wants to be saved
    by Lady Towa the others.
[05:01] ---
    All right, let's go!
[05:02] ---
    – Yeah!
    – Yeah!
[05:06] ---
    All right!
[05:07] ---
    We're going too!
[05:13] ---
    This is bad! Run away, Shippo!
[05:18] ---
    We can't let something like that
    run loose!
[05:20] ---
    We've got to stop
    the Grim Butterfly's movements!
[05:22] ---
    But how?
[05:24] ---
    In order to suppress it,
    we'll need Buddhist power!
[05:26] ---
    We'll also need
    your spirit power, Kagome!
[05:29] ---
    Got it!
[05:30] ---
    Hey, Takechiyo!
[05:31] ---
    Tell the demon slayers to provide backup!
[05:34] ---
    And get Miroku!
[05:35] ---
    Understood!
[05:39] ---
    Hey!
[05:40] ---
    – That's—
    – It's Master Takechiyo!
[05:43] ---
    Master Takechiyo!
[05:47] ---
    Brother!
[05:48] ---
    Everyone, you need to hide underground!
[05:50] ---
    What about you, Brother?
[05:51] ---
    I'm going to fight to protect everyone!
[05:54] ---
    I'm going too!
[05:56] ---
    That's a big help.
[05:57] ---
    Kikunosuke, make sure
    you save your retainers!
[06:01] ---
    Understood!
[06:02] ---
    – Let's go, Hachi!
    – Yes, sir!
[06:05] ---
    Brother, take care!
[06:15] ---
    Riku, is Rion trying to tell us something?
[06:19] ---
    Miss Rion wasn't able
    to slay Lord Kirinmaru.
[06:22] ---
    Which means...
[06:25] ---
    You dare enter this sacred palace
    without permission?
[06:29] ---
    How ill-mannered of you.
[06:34] ---
    Miss Rion was the one who let them in.
[06:37] ---
    I'm sure that she wishes
    for them to save her!
[06:40] ---
    Rion did that?
[06:41] ---
    It can't be!
[06:42] ---
    Being a king is a lonely thing.
[06:45] ---
    I'm sure she just wanted someone
    to talk to while she passed the time.
[06:48] ---
    Mr. Kirin, what is the meaning of this?
[06:51] ---
    You tricked us, didn't you?
[06:54] ---
    This is the world
    that our King Rion wished for...
[06:58] ---
    a peaceful world without any strife.
[07:01] ---
    My ideals were far beneath hers!
[07:06] ---
    Rion wishes for a world like this?
[07:08] ---
    That's just ridiculous!
[07:11] ---
    Miss Higurashi...
[07:12] ---
    I thought that at least you
    would understand my thoughts.
[07:16] ---
    I am disappointed.
[07:18] ---
    What?
[07:20] ---
    It goes without saying
    that demons are foolish,
[07:23] ---
    but humans are just as foolish,
    aren't they?
[07:26] ---
    No matter how much
    civilization flourishes,
[07:28] ---
    humanity is constantly at war.
[07:31] ---
    Not only that, in the world of Reiwa,
    they have the power to destroy themselves.
[07:39] ---
    That may be true, but...
[07:42] ---
    Rion and I will take control
    of the humans of this world.
[07:47] ---
    That's not what Rion wishes for!
[07:50] ---
    Miss Higurashi...
[07:52] ---
    do you know how many wars
    will be waged in this world?
[07:55] ---
    You've learned about them
    in history class, haven't you?
[07:59] ---
    It seems I need to give you
    a special lesson!
[08:03] ---
    I'll handle this!
[08:05] ---
    Setsuna and Moroha, get to Rion!
[08:07] ---
    Will you be all right?
[08:08] ---
    Miss Rion wishes to be saved
    as soon as possible!
[08:12] ---
    I shall protect Lady Towa!
[08:15] ---
    I'll go there as soon as I can!
[08:16] ---
    – Got it!
    – It's a promise!
[08:18] ---
    I won't let you do that!
[08:27] ---
    – Now's our chance!
    – Okay!
[08:33] ---
    You're not going anywhere!
[08:45] ---
    I just don't understand.
[08:48] ---
    Why was the Zanseiken bestowed
    to a half-demon like Miss Higurashi?
[08:53] ---
    Half-demons are the detestable
    creatures that killed Rion.
[08:57] ---
    Rion said she wanted me to defeat
    Kirinmaru with the Zanseiken.
[09:02] ---
    Indeed...
[09:04] ---
    Miss Rion was killed
    by the half-demon, Sakasa.

[09:09] ---
    Despite that, she had
    never spoken ill of him.

[09:14] ---
    Could it be?
[09:15] ---
    Lady Towa, Miss Rion is—
[09:17] ---
    Shut up!
[09:19] ---
    Riku!
[09:25] ---
    Now that there's no one who can interfere,
    shall we begin our special lesson?
[09:41] ---
    SESSHOMARU'S VASSAL – JAKEN
    TOWA AND SETSUNA'S MOTHER – RIN
[09:44] ---
    KIRINMARU
[09:44] ---
    You have no idea how long
    I've waited for this moment!
[09:48] ---
    SESSHOMARU
[09:48] ---
    How pitiful.
[09:50] ---
    What?
[09:51] ---
    What are you calling pitiful?
[09:54] ---
    You.
[09:57] ---
    Shut your mouth!
[10:10] ---
    Blasting Barrage!
[10:13] ---
    Bakusaiga!
[10:34] ---
    What a battle!
[10:44] ---
    Rion, what in the world happened to you?
[10:47] ---
    Is this the world you wished for?
[10:50] ---
    Leave this place!
[10:54] ---
    What's with these threads?
[10:56] ---
    They're coming this way!
[11:07] ---
    This is bad!
[11:11] ---
    MIROKU
[11:11] ---
    Everyone, retreat to the shrine!
[11:20] ---
    Disperse, demons!
[11:26] ---
    DEMON SLAYERS
    ROKUTA NANASUKE
[11:27] ---
    Why, you...
[11:29] ---
    Don't act on your own!
[11:29] ---
    KOHAKU
[11:31] ---
    Fight together in one spot!
[11:33] ---
    Take this! And that!
[11:34] ---
    Come on! Come on!
[11:38] ---
    – All right!
    – All right!
[11:38] ---
    KIN'U GYOKUTO
[11:40] ---
    Your turn, Hisui!
[11:42] ---
    Get 'em!
[11:44] ---
    Hiraikotsu!
[11:49] ---
    HISUI
    KIRARA
[11:49] ---
    Oh, no!
[11:52] ---
    Black Hiraikotsu!
[12:03] ---
    Nice one, Mother!
[12:05] ---
    Hisui still has a long ways to go.
[12:07] ---
    SANGO
[12:08] ---
    I'm sorry, Mother.
[12:10] ---
    I'm proud of you for having come this far.
[12:17] ---
    The number of demons
    has decreased quite a bit.
[12:20] ---
    Hey!
[12:22] ---
    Miroku!
[12:23] ---
    Miroku!
[12:25] ---
    Takechiyo! Hachi!
[12:32] ---
    Take a look.
[12:34] ---
    I have here a collection of various books
    from throughout human history.
[12:39] ---
    Miss Higurashi, did you know?
[12:41] ---
    I actually wanted
    to become a history teacher.
[12:45] ---
    What?
[12:46] ---
    I traveled the world with Rion
    and saw all sorts of civilizations.
[12:54] ---
    Later, when I was flung
    into the Reiwa era,
[12:56] ---
    I looked at the history textbooks
    and was devastated.
[13:00] ---
    Throughout history, demons have
    saved humans countless times,
[13:05] ---
    but there wasn't a single mention
    of anything involving demons
[13:09] ---
    in any history text.
[13:12] ---
    Fairytales were all that remained.
[13:15] ---
    We demons were only seen
    as things to be slain.
[13:20] ---
    I wanted to teach true history...
[13:24] ---
    but it seems that humans
    have no interest in the truth.
[13:29] ---
    Rion and I will create a new history.
[13:34] ---
    Rion will become the ruler of this world.
[13:38] ---
    She doesn't wish for that!
[13:42] ---
    Then what do you suggest
    she does wish for?
[13:47] ---
    As her father,
    I know her better than anyone!
[13:51] ---
    You're not her father!
[13:53] ---
    You're just his right arm!
[13:58] ---
    Zanseiken!
[14:05] ---
    My demon powers...
[14:07] ---
    Our lesson is over!
[14:15] ---
    Such tough threads!
[14:20] ---
    Yukari no Tachikiri?
[14:23] ---
    We can't keep this up!
[14:25] ---
    Then what should we do?
[14:27] ---
    These are threads of fate!
[14:29] ---
    If we can find a thread
    connected to Rion and sever it...
[14:32] ---
    There's no way
    I can do something like that!
[14:37] ---
    I'll tell you which one!
[14:39] ---
    I guess we just have to give it a shot.
[14:44] ---
    In that case, let's do this!
[15:00] ---
    Setsuna! Get out of the way!
[15:05] ---
    This is the one!
[15:13] ---
    You severed it!
[15:14] ---
    Father fought every day from dusk to dawn.
[15:17] ---
    I was always worried about him.
[15:23] ---
    What the hell was that?
[15:24] ---
    It was Rion's voice!
[15:26] ---
    They're coming again!
[15:30] ---
    The green thread!
[15:37] ---
    How about this?
[15:40] ---
    I did it!
[15:42] ---
    My father showed no regard
    for my feelings.

[15:52] ---
    He didn't care about me at all.
[15:55] ---
    This is the voice of Rion's heart!
[16:04] ---
    What a terrifying sight.
[16:07] ---
    Inuyasha!
[16:08] ---
    Kagome!
[16:10] ---
    – Hey!
    – Hey!
[16:12] ---
    I'm glad to see
    the both of you are alive!
[16:14] ---
    – Yeah!
    – We'll talk later!
[16:17] ---
    Miroku, demon powers
    don't work against this thing.
[16:20] ---
    We gotta use Buddhist power to stop it!
[16:22] ---
    Can you even stop something that big?
[16:25] ---
    It will certainly be difficult...
[16:27] ---
    but I have to give it a try!
[16:30] ---
    Let's all work together!
[16:32] ---
    – Okay!
    – Okay!
[16:34] ---
    Let's form a barrier and lure it in.
[16:37] ---
    – Okay!
    – Got it!
[16:41] ---
    If I defeat you, I can become
    the most powerful demon.
[16:46] ---
    Why do you insist on being the strongest?
[16:50] ---
    Because that's what Rion wishes!
[16:55] ---
    You shouldn't bring women
    and children onto the battlefield.
[16:58] ---
    Do you not know
    your own father's words?
[17:02] ---
    I'm sure that you already know...
[17:05] ---
    that those who use such methods
    cannot call themselves the strongest!
[17:11] ---
    It's not as if Rion
    liked everything about humans.
[17:15] ---
    Miss Higurashi, you've seen
    the ugly side of humanity
[17:19] ---
    in the Reiwa era, haven't you?
[17:21] ---
    A society that removes anyone
    who is even a little different.
[17:25] ---
    We demons were chased
    from our usual homes
[17:29] ---
    and were made to feel inferior.
[17:32] ---
    There are good humans and bad humans!
[17:36] ---
    Similarly, there are good demons
    and bad demons!
[17:41] ---
    You are...
[17:42] ---
    a bad half-demon!
[17:45] ---
    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
    YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[17:48] ---
    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE: —
    YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[17:53] ---
    Boss, we're all set up!
[17:57] ---
    All right, light the beacon!
[18:05] ---
    This is so exciting!
[18:06] ---
    We developed a lot of new weapons
    just for a day like this, after all.
[18:10] ---
    Don't let your guard down, Kin-Gyo!
[18:13] ---
    – Okay!
    – Okay!
[18:23] ---
    Father!
[18:26] ---
    The barrier has been set up!
[18:28] ---
    Understood.
[18:30] ---
    – Lady Kagome...
    – Okay!
[18:32] ---
    No way! No way!
[18:33] ---
    Why am I the bait?
[18:36] ---
    Stop complaining
    and get in front of the Grim Butterfly!
[18:39] ---
    No way! No way!
[18:47] ---
    It's coming!
[18:54] ---
    Save me!
[18:55] ---
    Here it comes!
[19:01] ---
    Now! Fire!
[19:21] ---
    What the hell is this?
[19:23] ---
    Just tolerate it!
[19:24] ---
    Just a little longer!
[19:31] ---
    My specially-made scent bombs
    that repel demons are working!
[19:35] ---
    I've got something too!
[19:44] ---
    All right!
[19:48] ---
    It's going to escape the barrier!
[19:51] ---
    – Hachi!
    – Okay!
[19:52] ---
    You're not getting away!
[19:53] ---
    Black Hiraikotsu!
[20:01] ---
    All right!
[20:06] ---
    Miroku, there it goes!
[20:08] ---
    Lady Kagome, failure is not an option!
[20:11] ---
    – Let's do this!
    – All right!
[20:15] ---
    Take this!
[20:25] ---
    That's good, Kagome!
[20:27] ---
    I'll take care of the rest!
[20:30] ---
    On meeting an arhat, slay the arhat;
[20:32] ---
    on meeting your parents,
    slay your parents.
[20:35] ---
    Know that the light
    to your path lies there.
[20:54] ---
    Wow, they did it!
[20:56] ---
    – All right!
    – All right!
[20:58] ---
    – All right, everyone, well done!
    - Yeah!
[21:04] ---
    You did it!
[21:05] ---
    Yeah!
[21:06] ---
    However, this is only
    delaying the inevitable.
[21:10] ---
    For the rest...
[21:12] ---
    we'll have to count on Moroha
    and the others.
[21:16] ---
    Moroha, the blue one!
[21:21] ---
    Do you know what it's like
    to have a father like that?

[21:24] ---
    Then talk to us!
[21:27] ---
    Is this truly what you wish for?
[21:30] ---
    Shut up!
[21:31] ---
    Stay out of my business!
[21:45] ---
    You're...
[21:47] ---
    acting like a human.
[21:49] ---
    What did you say?
[21:51] ---
    In the end,
    this is the limit of human abilities.
[21:56] ---
    Goodbye, Miss Higurashi!
[23:30] ---

    Can I sever a thread of fate?
[23:42] ---

    how you really feel!

    Stop, Towa! Don't use the Zanseiken!
