Let's go.
DESTROY
The Demon Slayer Corps has
around several hundred members.
It's an organization
unrecognized by the government.
Yet it's existed since ancient times,
and we continue to hunt demons today.
But as for who's leading
the Demon Slayer Corps,
that remains a mystery.
Demons.
Staple food Humans!
They kill humans and feed on them.
No one knows when and where
they first appeared.
Their physical prowess is remarkable.
Wounds heal in the blink of an eye.
Flesh is restored after being hacked off,
and limbs can be newly regenerated.
Some demons can shape-shift.
Others have otherworldly powers.
They can only be killed by sunlight
or by decapitation with a special sword.
The Demon Slayers battle the demons
with their own mortal bodies.
Since they're human,
their wounds are slow to heal,
and, once lost,
their limbs don't grow back!
Even so, they battle the demons
to protect other humans.
EPISODE 3:
SABITO AND MAKOMO
I am a trainer.
I literally train swordsmen.
There are many trainers,
and each of them trains their pupils
with their own regimen in their location.
To join the Demon Slayer Corps,
you must survive the Final Selection
process held on Mt. Fujikasane.
Whether or not you're eligible
for Final Selection is up to me.
Starting today, I'm going to keep
a journal for Nezuko.
I'm descending the mountain again today.
I'm going to train my hardest
so I won't die during Final Selection.
After repeatedly descending
the mountain, day after day,
I'm starting to learn
how to avoid most of the traps.
It's because I'm much stronger now,
and because I'm even more adept
at detecting scents than before.
Even so
the traps are getting
more and more difficult.
He may really want to kill me!
I made my descent today,
sword in hand,
but the sword really hampered
my movement.
With the sword,
I can't stop getting ensnared
in all the traps!
991!
I swing the sword today.
Well, it's not just today. I've been swinging
the sword every single day.
After descending the mountain,
I swing my sword until my arms nearly fall off.
1,000!
500 more!
Swords break easily.
That's what he told me beforehand.
Though it's strong vertically,
it's weak horizontally, so
you need to apply the force
straight along the blade.
The blade's direction and the direction
in which you apply the force
must be exactly the same.
And he added, "If you ever damage
the blade, in other words, break it,
I'll snap your bones, as well"
in a threatening tone of voice.
Nezuko
I'll keep working hard, okay?
Today, I did nothing but fall.
Training to break my fall
and get up quickly from any position.
I wield my sword,
and I charge Mr. Urokodaki
really trying to kill him.
In contrast,
Mr. Urokodaki is bare-handed
and unarmed.
But he's ridiculously powerful!
He flings me away
to roll on the ground every time.
I'm home, Nezuko.
Today, I learned breathing
techniques and some forms.
Total Concentration Breathing?
That's right.
And I'm going to teach you
all ten of the Water Breathing forms.
Remember to take a long breath
so the oxygen flows into every cell in your body.
This will enhance
your body's natural healing power,
and both stabilize
and energize your spirit.
Relax your upper body
while bracing your lower half.
All right, breathe!
Wrong!
Next! Forms!
Right! Like this?
Wrong!
Like this?
Wrong!
This?
Wrong!
This?
Wrong!
I get yelled at
for not bracing my stomach
and clobbered to a pulp.
Next, he told me
to become one with the water.
Get in there!
Nezuko!
Nezuko! I am water!
And now it's been six months
since Nezuko was last awake.
Mr. Urokodaki summoned the doctor
right away and had him examine her,
but he found nothing wrong.
But it's not normal for her
to stay asleep like this.
I was scared.
I worry that one morning,
I'll wake up to find her dead.
Not a day goes by that I don't worry.
My descents are getting more dangerous,
and the air's even thinner where I train.
Time and time again,
I think I might die.
I have nothing more to teach you.
A year after I arrived at Mt. Sagiri,
he told me all of a sudden
The rest is up to you!
Whether or not you can improve
to the next level.
Come with me!
If you can slice this boulder,
I will allow you to enter Final Selection.
Is a boulder
something you slice?
Something you can slice with a sword?
I don't think I can do it.
My sword will snap!
Mr. Urokodaki, please wait!
Mr. Urokodaki!
After that, Mr. Urokodaki
never taught me anything again.
Every day,
I practiced over and over
what I'd learned from Mr. Urokodaki.
The basics like holding the breath
and flexibility
I was glad I had written those
down in my journal.
But
even after six months had passed,
I still couldn't slice the boulder.
I felt frustrated.
Not enough!
I wasn't training hard enough!
I gotta do more!
More!
Am I
hopeless?
Is Nezuko going to die
without ever waking up?
I'll almost give in! I'm breaking down!!
Keep working, Tanjiro! You can do it!!
Shut up!
A man shouldn't whine.
It's unseemly.
When did he show up?
There's no scent. A fox mask?
Now matter how you suffer,
bear it in silence
if you're a man.
If you call yourself a man.
Slow.
Weak.
Immature.
That's not what you call a man.
DEMON SLAYER:
KIMETSU NO YAIBA
DEMON SLAYER:
KIMETSU NO YAIBA
What are you doing?
I'd like to know
what you think you're doing.
What do you mean?
I'm training.
How long do you plan
to keep your butt on the ground
without even taking a stance?
Come on. Come at me.
But you have a wooden sword,
and I have a real sword!
Well, well! Thank you
for worrying about me.
So, you think
you're actually going to injure me!
Well, you have
absolutely nothing to worry about!
I'm more powerful than you
because I've sliced that boulder!
He's sliced that boulder?
You've learned nothing.
You haven't mastered a single thing!
Particularly, the breathing technique
Mr. Urokodaki taught you
Total Concentration Breathing.
He knows Mr. Urokodaki?
And the breathing technique, too?
All you did was memorize it as fact.
Your body has no clue
what it needs to do.
What the hell were you doing
for a whole year and a half?
Slam it into your flesh!
More!
More!
More!
So that you'll never forget the secrets
Mr. Urokodaki taught you!
Pound it into the marrow of your bones!
I'm trying!
I'm trying every single day!
With everything I've got!
But I'm not making any headway!
I just can't go any further!
Go further!
If you're a man!
If you call yourself a man!
There's no other way
to go but forward!
Bring it on!
Show me what you're capable of!
I'm leaving the rest to you.
Are you all right?
Did you see that just now?
What a strike that was!
Not a single bit of wasted motion!
It was really beautiful!
I want to become like that!
You think I can become like him?
I'm sure you can
since I'll be looking after you.
She's so cute.
Who are you?
This girl's name was Makomo.
She told me the boy's name was Sabito.
Makomo also pointed out my defects.
She corrected my unnecessary
movements and bad habits.
But when I asked her
why she was doing that,
and where she came from,
she didn't tell me anything.
Both he and I love
Mr. Urokodaki very much.
That was Makomo's pet phrase.
She and Sabito weren't siblings.
She said Mr. Urokodaki raised them
after they'd been orphaned.
There are other children besides us.
They're always watching you, Tanjiro.
Makomo is a somewhat strange girl.
She speaks in such an abstract,
dreamy way.
See, Total Concentration Breathing
accelerates your blood circulation
and your heart rate.
That causes
your body temperature to spike,
making you as strong as a demon
while staying human.
The important thing
is to expand your lung capacity.
When you bring lots of air into your blood,
and when your blood gets excited,
your bones and muscles scurry
to heat up and grow stronger.
I'm not sure I get that.
How can I do that?
Train to death.
At the end of the day,
there's nothing else you can do.
Until my arms and legs
were ready to fall off
Until my lungs and heart
were ready to burst,
I swung my sword.
But still
I just couldn't beat Sabito.
Not until six months later.
When I challenged him that day,
Sabito was wielding a real sword.
After six months, finally,
you have the look of a man.
Today's the day I win!
Head-on battles are simple.
Whoever's stronger and faster wins.
The battle was over in an instant.
On this day, in this moment,
for the first time,
my blade reached Sabito first.
The moment I won,
Sabito smiled.
He looked sad and happy.
A relieved kind of smile.
Tanjiro
You did great.
Don't forget what you just did.
Win, okay, Tanjiro?
Beat that guy, too.
The next thing I knew,
Sabito was gone.
And my sword, which I was sure
had slashed Sabito's mask
had sliced the boulder.
PREVIEW
RUSTLE RUSTLE
Yeah, I was shocked, too!
I could never imagine
I'd be able to cut a boulder like that.
I couldn't have done it
without Sabito and Makomo.
I can't thank them enough.
Now, it's time for a Taisho secret!
Why does Mr. Urokodaki wear a mask?
I heard that's because demons used to make fun
of his face for looking too kind.
Sabito, Makomo and Mr. Urokodaki!
I'll work harder
to turn Nezuko back into a human!
