That mask.
I can tell by the fox masks.
Everyone got eaten just because they were wearing them.
Total Concentration!
Water Breathing!
First Form!
Water Surface Slash!
Now I know why I can be strong
Take me with you and keep moving forward
Reeling from the sight of my grim past
My heart stiffens up
There's something my trembling hands seek to grasp
And that's all
Catching the scent of night
I glare at the sky
But the only thing I can change is myself
And that's all
Now I know why I can be strong
Take me with you and keep moving forward
No matter what
Even if dreams can't be erased and the present is unstoppable
If I can become stronger for someone else
Then just rise up again and again
Overwhelmed by the world, now I know what it means to lose
Crimson flowers bursting into bloom
Illuminating my destiny
Episode 5: My Own Steel
Urokodaki!
Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!
My body's crumbling and disappearing.
I can't stop it!
Dammit!
To think that the face of a Demon Slayer will be the last thing I'll ever see...
How did it come to this?
I'm so scared. I'm all alone.
Brother, where are you?
I want you to hold my hand!
Like you always do!
Why?
Why on earth did I bite you to death, Big Brother?
Huh?
Wait, who's this "Brother"?
What a sad scent.
God...
Please...
The next time this man is reborn,
please make sure he doesn't turn into a demon.
Brother!
Brother! Brother!
Hold my hand, will you?
What am I going to do with you?
Still such a scaredy-cat.
Sabito, Makomo...
and everyone else who was killed...
I won.
You can rest easy now.
I guess you're going home as promised.
Even if only as souls, you're going back to Mt. Sagiri...
...and to Urokodaki whom you all love very much.
If I'd ended up dead,
my soul would've returned there, too.
There's something I wanna ask you!
How do I turn someone who's become a demon back into a human?
Please tell me!
How can I turn Nezuko...
back into a human?
Wisteria?
I made it.
Only four of us?
But there were at least twenty.
I don't see that guy here, either.
It's all because I blacked out at that moment.
I couldn't save him.
I'm gonna die. I'm a goner.
Even if I survive now, I'm gonna die in the end anyway.
- Welcome back. - Welcome back.
Congratulations.
We're pleased to see that you're safe.
So? What am I supposed to do now?
Where's my sword?
First, we shall issue you all uniforms.
We will take your measurements, after which your rank will be engraved.
There are ten ranks in all...
Kinoe.
Kinoto.
Hinoe.
Hinoto.
Tsuchinoe.
Tsuchinoto.
Kanoe.
Kanoto.
Mizunoe...
...and Mizunoto.
Currently, you are at the lowest rank, Mizunoto.
And our swords?
Today, you will choose the ore for your swords.
However, the swords will take ten to fifteen days to complete.
Are you kidding me?
But first...
We will now assign each of you your own Kasugai Crow.
Kasugai Crow?
These Kasugai Crows can be used primarily for communication.
Did you say "crow"?
Isn't this a sparrow, though?
Don't give me that crap!
Who the hell cares about some stupid crow?
I want a sword, you hear?
Hand it over right now!
The Demon Slayers' sword!
The Color-Changing Katana!
Let go of the child!
Or else I'll break your arm!
Who the hell are you?
Wh-Wh-Wh-What should I do?
Let's see you try it!
Are you finished chatting?
Now then, please choose an ore.
The ore for the sword...
that will annihilate demons and protect you...
will be of your own choosing.
Well, not that I'm going to live very long. Probably.
They're asking us to choose,
but how are we supposed to pick one out?
I've never seen an ore before,
and I can't tell the difference between them.
I have absolutely no clue.
I see.
As many as five of them managed to survive, huh?
Excellent.
The number of my children has increased again.
I wonder what kinds of swordsmen they'll become.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba
I was so naive.
None of the demons were even in a state to be able to talk.
All they did was attack me and try to kill me right away.
Sorry, Nezuko.
I never got to ask them...
how to turn a demon back into a human.
Even my uniform is heavy.
I wanna get home as soon as possible,
but my whole body hurts!
I made it.
Nezuko... Urokodaki...
Hey! Nezuko!
You...
So, you're awake?
Nezuko!
Why...
Why'd you fall asleep like that?
Never waking up once!
I was worried you were going to die, you know.
You came back to us alive.
I see. You killed that morphed demon.
Yes.
At last.
I'm truly impressed that you made it back.
Yes.
There are several kinds of demons.
The demons with special "Blood Demon Art" are the ones with supernatural abilities.
You may have to fight those demons, as well, from now on.
And battling them will be far tougher than anything you've known until now.
Even so, Tanjiro, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Right.
Um...
I think that Nezuko's not like the other demons.
Do you think it could be one of those art something?
No, I don't think so.
I wouldn't consider it a Blood Demon Art.
I'm just guessing here,
but it could be that Nezuko's recovering her strength by sleeping
instead of consuming human flesh.
I promise I'll protect you, Nezuko.
(15 Days Later)
Uh...
My name is Haganezuka.
I have forged Tanjiro Kamado's sword,
and I am here to deliver it.
Um, I'm Tanjiro Kamado.
Please come inside.
This is the Nichirin Sword.
And I forged it.
Um...
Please come in so I can serve you some Te-
The materials for a Nichirin Sword are obtained
from the mountain closest to the sun.
Scarlet Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore.
These produce steel that can absorb sunlight.
Wow, is that right?
Mt. Yoko is bathed in sunlight all day long, you see.
-Never a cloud in the sky, nor any rain.
- There he goes again, -Never a cloud in the sky, nor any rain.
- There he goes again, - You're going to get dirty,
- never listening to what anyone says... - so could you get up for a second?
A hyottoko mask?
Hey, you're a Child of Brightness, aren't you?
Now that's what I call lucky.
Oh no, I'm the son of Tanjuro and Kie.
That's not what I meant.
See how your hair and eyes are a reddish color?
When a kid like you is born into a family that works with fire,
it's considered lucky and a cause for celebration.
Is that right? I had no idea.
There's a good chance that this sword will turn red!
Right, Urokodaki?
Yes.
Come on, hurry up and draw it!
Nichirin Swords are also known as "Color-Changing Katana."
They change color depending on the bearer.
Black!
It's black, huh?
Is it bad or something if it turns black?
Is it unlucky?
No, not necessarily.
But you don't see this pitch black too often.
And I thought I was going to see a bright red sword!
Dammit!
Ouch! Stop!
Please calm down! How old do you think you are?
I'm thirty-seven!
Tanjiro Kamado!
Here are your orders!
It talks!
Make your way to a town to the northwest!
Young girls have been vanishing there!
Night after night,
young girls have been vanishing!
Hunt down the demon lurking there and kill it!
Tanjiro Kamado, prepare yourself well for this task!
This is your first assignment...
as a Demon Slayer!
My first... assignment...
I won't be held captive by my grief
I won't leave behind tears wherever I look down
By shaking off my fate
I can start running
I know my wishes will come true
Crush the conflicts of yesterday
Cry for the future from the edge of darkness
Seize control of the headwind
Even if you can't see past the storm
There's no other path to choose So survive
It'll always be love versus rage when you find yourself wavering
It's time to get on your feet one more time
And now, with that blade
Where will you strike?
Kasugai Crow, say hello to everyone.
I don't take orders from you!
Jeez.
Now, it's time for a Taisho-era secret!
Forget that! It's time for the next mission! Hurry up!
All right! I got it!
Next, Episode 6, "Swordsman Accompanying a Demon"!
Hey, you there! If you miss it, I'll peck you!
Hey!
