Can we flex?

Within the next five days, Muzan will
come.

I will be the bait you use.

When he comes, I need you to be at him.

Master, what leads you to believe he'll
find you?

My intuition, that's all.

Nothing beyond that.

But listen, the others can't know.

They would never agree to using me as
bait like this.

They would sooner die than do it.

You're the only one that I can ask,
Giyome.

Even if you behead him, he won't die.

There's likely only one way to destroy
Mudon.

Trapping him in place until sunlight
shines upon him.

His beheading isn't enough to kill him.

There's only one oxen left.

You all must endure a battle until the
sun rises.

Yes, sir.

If that is your wish, then so be it,
Master.

Gyome, after I have perished, please do
not let any more of my children be sent

to their graves.

That is my wish.

You think you've driven me into a corner
with your little plan?

But you are all about to be going
straight to hell!

Mark my words, demon slayers.

I'll massacre every one of you before
sunrise!

You're the only one going to hell!

And you won't get away!

Oh, is that so?

Let's see you try.

I will defeat you!

What is

this

place?

Everything's upside down!

Was all of this made...

Using the enemy's blood, Demonard?

I don't understand what's happening.

Except that Miss Tamayo was restraining
Muzan.

Even so, how long can she keep that up?

Calm down, Kanroji.

Yes!

Stay with me.

I need to reach Muzan as soon as
possible and defeat him!

By whatever means!

That's the bottom!

I'll be killed at this speed!

I'll use a move to change directions,
then find something to grab onto!

It didn't work.

I can't break away from this free fall!

Thanks for your help.

You really saved... Water breathing.
First form.

Water surface flash.

Water breathing.

Sixth form.

Third form.

Whirlpool!

Flowing dance.

Mr.

Q's amazing.

He can tell exactly which move I'm gonna
use.

Then he follows up with one that
prevents any kind of friendly fire.

He's unbelievable.

Just what's behind those eyes?

If I'm not mistaken, this is the place
that Shinazugawa and Igaro mentioned.

Which means, Kibutsuji's plan was to
gather everyone here, then kill us all

one self -swoop.

From here on out, we'll need to be even
more vigilant.

Right.

Let's go. Right!

Serpent breathing.

Fifth form.

Slithery serpent!

You demon scum! Stay away from Kanroji!

Are you hurt?

Then let's go.

There's a whole lot of demons, huh?

It would seem they've been given the
strength of the lower ranks.

It's clear that they're being used to
try and exhaust us.

What of the Master?

He has departed from this world.

It was a truly noble end.

Knowing him, he never would have allowed
himself to be caught unawares.

Did he sacrifice himself?

Indeed. The Master did not have much
time left.

Master.

Back when I was mortally wounded by a
demon and found myself teetering on the

edge between life and death...

He stayed by my side.

He did the same for every Corps member
who was on the brink of death.

Like a father.

Yes, I know.

Muzan not only took my brother from me,
but our father as well.

That bastard.

Damn him.

I swear I'll make him suffer.

I'll send them straight to hell!

You're not alone.

Trust me, we all feel the same.

There's no end to you lowlifes, huh?

That's just fine by me.

I'll kill all of you!

Make way!

I'm coming through!

Whole lot of falling happening here!

Where am I?

The demon headquarters?

Where are the others?

Big brother.

I hope you're safe too.

I just heard a sound.

Could it be that he's somewhere nearby?

You'll regret that.

I won't forgive you. Not in a million
years.

Oh my, you're here.

Oh, and you're a girl too!

What a young and tasty Morthal we have.

I'll have to properly thank Nakime for
this later.

Hinobu, you must leave the demon's lair
core.

I know that you've trained really hard,
and you're fighting to make a

difference.

But I don't think you'll... I

want you to live the life of a happy,
normal girl.

To be able to see your own hair turn
gray.

You've done enough.

No! I can't stop now! I will avenge you
if it's the last thing I do!

This demon!

I need to know. You have to know what it
looked like!

Please, big sister, I'm begging you!

Tell me!

I can never live a normal life knowing
someone did this to you!

Please!

It was a demon.

With a blood...

What a wonderful night.

Such a warm smile and gentle voice.

There's a soft, benevolent presence to
him.

Can't you see that we're talking?

Are you alright?

Wow, that was fast.

Are you a Hashira?

Oh, don't worry about that. You can just
leave her right there.

I'll make a proper meal of her later.

The weapon he used... It was a pair of
sharp fans.

As the founder of the Eternal Paradise
Fane, it is my sworn duty to see that

my followers attain happiness.

I'll be sure to consume her completely.

There's no doubt.

This is the demon who killed my sister.

Attaining happiness?

For who, exactly?

This girl was horrified, crying out for
help.

And that's why I saved her.

Her suffering has come to an end.

No more pain, no more fear.

Everyone is afraid of death, so I help
them by consuming them.

This way they get to live on within me,
for all eternity.

I take in their entire being, blood,
desires.

Even the last bit of their sinew.

And help their souls transcend.

What you're spouting is sheer nonsense.

And to say it with such glee... You
truly make me sick.

Aww... I can't believe you'd say that
after we'd only just met.

Oh, I see.

Oh, you poor thing.

Did something unfortunate happen?

Let's hear it. Go on, tell me.

Unfortunate doesn't begin to describe
it.

You were the one who killed my big
sister, weren't you?

Does the power I am wearing mean nothing
to you?

That's right.

It belonged to the girl who used flower
breathing.

Such a sweet, gentle child.

The sun came up and cut our time short.

I remember.

It's a shame I didn't get to see her.

Insect breathing.

Dance of the beasting. True flutter.

A marvelous thrust. I hardly even saw
it.

Blood deening on.

Frozen lotus.

It's so cold.

It feels like my lungs are bursting.

Look at that. You are fast.

Unfortunately for you, those thrusts
aren't enough to kill a demon.

Aim for here.

You need to chop off my head.

My thrust alone may not be enough.

But what of this?

to see whether this toxin works on an
upper rank.

Sister, lend me your strength.

Please.

This poison is clearly far stronger than
the strain you used up on Ruiz

Mountain.

So they did exchange information.

This is the drawback to using poison.

You told me that.

You've been changing concoction for each
Demon, you face!

Oh my, it would seem that I've already
neutralized all of your poison.

How rude of me. And after you'd made it
just for me.

That sword of yours.

It makes quite an interesting sound when
you sheave it.

Is that where you change what poison you
use?

Yay! This is fun!

Who knew being poisoned was so
invigorating?

It's almost addictive!

What'll the next formula be like?

Come on, let's give it a try!

Very well, then.

I'll oblige.

See?

I'd already anticipated this would
happen.

Is your next batch set?

I'm ready whenever you are.

I know I just had to give it a try.

But you could at least change up your
offense.

What's this?

You seem to be slower than earlier.

So sad.

Insect breathing.

Dance of the horsefly.

Enticing blast.

Oh my.

You were able to land a hit.

The way you got through all my defenses.

It's amazing.

I'm truly impressed.

It's almost enough to bring a tear to my
eye.

Come on, what are you waiting for?

Hurry up and attack me again, before I
stop the poison.

Please? You're doing so well. Maybe the
next attack killed me.

Yes!

That's the spirit!

Ever since I was a child, I was kind and
clever.

I always helped those who were in need
and led them to the path of happiness.

It was my duty, after all.

His eyes have the colors of a rainbow.

And this gray hair is proof of his
innocence.

This child is truly special.

Surely he can hear the voices of the
gods.

My parents were hopelessly naive
simpletons.

You'd have to be in order to found a
religion like the Eternal Paradise

I pitied them, so I always played along
with their make -believe ideas.

I never once heard the voice of the
gods.

At first, I didn't know how to deal with
the hordes of people worshipping and

praying to me.

Seeing these grown -ups come crying to a
child, saying they were suffering,

pleading for help, made me worry if they
were sick in the head.

After nearly putting me to sleep with
their personal stories, they would bow

me, asking to be guided to paradise.

I cried.

You poor things, I thought.

Paradise doesn't even exist.

It's just a fairy tale concocted by
deluded humans.

There are no gods or buddhas.

These people had lived for decades, yet
they still couldn't grasp that simple

truth.

When you die, you return to nothingness.
All feeling ceases.

Your heart stops.

Your brain stops.

You rot and return to the earth.

Such is the fate of every living
creature.

To be too foolish to accept reality.

What a hard life that must be.

I want to bring happiness to these
pitiful people.

I want to save them.

I truly believe that is my purpose here.

Aww, still nothing.

And that was number five.

What will you do?

The toxin's getting less effective.

How many more times do you think you can
adapt it?

Oh, are you out of breath now?

Look at all that sweat.

Are you alright?

So this is the power of an upper rank.

None of my poisons are working.

He's adapting too fast to keep up with.

Your alveoli must be dead now.

Painful. You did breathe it in. My blood
demon art.

He turns his frozen blood into mist and
disperses it with his fans.

Even breathing around him is dangerous
now.

I'll increase the dose with multiple
strikes!

Insect breathing! Dance of the
dragonfly!

Compound eye hexagon!

I can't believe it! Such blazing speed!

You might be the fastest Hashira I've
ever met!

Got me.

Forget the poison.

Why not try to decapitate me?

With your speed, you might have won.

Maybe not. I mean, you are small.

Why are my hands so small, I wonder?

How come I was never able to grow
taller?

If my...

My sister was also a small frame, but
she was taller than I.

How I envy Mr.

Himejima. What my sister really wanted
to say.

Oh no!

Have our games come to an end?

That's too bad.

I don't think you'll win against that
demon.

That's what you were going to say. But
you stopped yourself, didn't you?

Pull yourself together.

This is no time for tears.

Stand up.

I can't.

This is no time for tears.

Sister.

Stand up.

I can't. I've lost so much blood.

My left lung is punctured and I can't
even breathe.

You can and you will.

Stand up.

You are a Hashirashi, Nobu.

If you've made up your mind to defeat
him, then do so.

No excuses.

Win by whatever means you can.

Remember your promise to me and Kanao.

Kanao.

Forgive me.

You must be suffering right now.

I know that you have it in you.

Do your best.

Are you standing up?

Scary.

Are you actually a human?

I slashed your collarbone, your lungs,
and your ribs.

At your diminutive size, and the amount
of blood you've lost, how are you not

dead right now?

See, right there. There clearly is blood
gurgling in your lungs.

The pain must be unimaginable.

Surrender and I'll put an end to your
suffering.

It'll be quick.

It's too late for you.

So just let go.

I'll make a coup for his neck this time.

And put everything I have left into this
strike.

Insect breathing.

Dance of the centipede.

Hmm?

100 magnetic seconds.

Feels like she's everywhere at once.

Just her movement destroyed the bridge.

So fast, I can't follow her.

From below?

As a child, I thought of happiness like
a road, one that stretched on into the

distance with no end in sight.

It wasn't until it was destroyed that I
finally realized the road beneath my

feet was but a thin sheet of glass.

However, some haven't had the glass
broken yet.

after being saved was to become stronger
so that someday I could

protect those people.

So we made a promise to

vanquish the demons as many as we could
together

in hopes that the pain we suffered

would never be felt.

Even if I'm weak.

Even if I can't decapitate demons.

If I can take down just one, I can save
dozens of lives.

And if that demon's an upper rank, it
could mean saving hundreds.

It's not a matter of can or cannot.

This is something I have to do.

Are you angry?

Yes.

I am angry, Tanjiro.

I'm furious.

In fact, I'm always angry.

How could I not be?

My older sister were killed.

Me and Sukuko, other than Kanao, were
killed.

And those poor girls.

If it weren't for the demons.

If it weren't for the demons that killed
their loved ones.

They'd be living happily with their
families.

It's all so infuriating.

Stop messing with me, dammit!

Why the hell isn't my poison working on
this prick?

You bastard!

I moved!

You did your best!

Even though you're so weak!

You must have worked so incredibly hard
to get to this point!

You're weaker than your sister!

And yet you somehow outlived her.

It's a miracle you survived this long.

Even when hope is gone, humans always
fight to the bitter end.

Humans are so foolish, but that's what
makes them so beautiful.

I deem you worthy of becoming part of
me.

You and I shall share eternity.

Do you have any last words?

I'm listening.

Rot in hell, you bastard!

I can't shake the feeling he's here.

He must be.

He's got a score to settle with me, too.

The people we love, the people we hold
dear,

are so precious.

We take for granted that they'll always
be there.

However, that's just a selfish delusion.

Because the thought of living without
them is simply unbearable.

Wow,

you nearly got me there.

They'll always be alive and close by.

It's a naive thought, I know.

But we all want to believe it.

Would you mind holding off your attacks
for just a second? I'm trying to absorb

her.

How strange.

You're not taking the bait, are you?

What she did earlier.

That motion she made with her fingers.

Was that her warning you of my powers?

I'm impressed she thought to do that so
quickly.

Good job you did it.

Too bad it doesn't matter.

Well, in case you were wondering, your
master was tastier than I imagined.

And now you're here.

It's just one feast after another, it
seems.

Truly, a wonderful night.

You can't hide.

Come out.

Have some dignity and face me.

Sounds like someone ought to teach you
some manners.

Did you forget that I'm your senior?

You look a little stronger than the last
time I saw you.

It's too bad you still reek of being a
pathetic weakling.

It's been a while, haven't it?

Then it's true.

Kaigook. You don't get my respect.

You're a demon. You'll be treated as
such.

Water creeping!

Ninth form!

Blacking water flow! Turbulence!

Stay focused.

Alright!

This place is insane.

The building keeps shifting and
rearranging itself as if it's alive.

I can tell that it's trying to separate
us.

We have to regroup with the other core
members and stay together till we reach

Muzan.

Attention!

Shinobu Kocho is dead!

Strange. There's a piece of paper
wrapped around its neck.

How are the crows already here?

Shinobu is dead.

But we must push forward.

Think only of what must be done for
victory.

Right!

And what about the others? I need
reports on their whereabouts.

Center of the 40th vertical and 12th
horizontal level.

The core members are fighting off what
appears to be at least 10 demons.

However, more than 30 demons are moving
in their direction from behind the wall.

Using Mr. Yushiro's eyes, We're able to
see blood demon arts.

Something that isn't possible to do with
the human eye.

Each red light is a blood demon art. The
more intense they glow, the more potent

their power.

In this place, the entire area,
buildings and all, must also be a blood

art.

There's seemingly no end in sight to it.

What incredible power.

A demon labyrinth with the ability to
branch out endlessly.

And here we lie at its center, trapped
within the walls of this infinite

However, it's not as if we've been
caught off guard.

My father prepared for this day,
meticulously.

With Kyomei's cooperation,

He had the Hashira within arm's reach to
mobilize at any time.

To prevent the core members from being
isolated, he sent the Kasugai crows to

gather them into groups and waited.

He enlisted the aid of Miss Tamayo and
Mr. Yushiro.

And finally, to ensure that their plan
would succeed, my sisters and our

readily sacrificed their lives.

We cannot lose.

No matter what.

Amongst the blood demon arts, there are
five traces of power that tower over the

rest, as if flaunting their strength.

These must be upper ranks.

One of them is at the same spot where
Shinobu was last seen fighting.

Found another!

Upper Six and Zenitsu have just
encountered each other!

An upper rank.

Is he alone?

He is. It looks to be a one -on -one.

Ahinaway can't beat an upper rank by
themself.

Then back up.

What, you've frozen in fear?

Guess some things never change.

Once a coward, always a coward.

Did you ever become a Hashira?

Guess not.

That's too bad.

Got any new techniques?

Or still just first form?

For an upper rank bottom feeder who's
nothing more than a spare blade, you're

sure acting awfully proud.

Wow.

Who taught you to talk like that?

New friends?

Why the hell did you become a demon?

You'd never understand. You were
supposed to succeed, Thunder Breathing!

tarnished it!

After you became a demon, he... He
committed seppuku!

Even worse, he did it by himself.

He was all alone.

Because of that, no one was there to put
him out of his misery.

He bled out and died a painful death.

It's your fault.

Grimms died the most agonizing death
possible!

All because the Thunder Breathing Ranks
produced the demons!

Why the hell should I care?

Grams died?

So what?

Want me to cry?

Did you expect me to give a damn?

Well, I don't. In fact, I don't care for
anyone who doesn't appreciate me.

No matter what, this is who I am. Take
the side of whoever knows my worth.

If the old geezer really did die in
agony, then I couldn't be happier.

I slaved away for that ungrateful
bastard.

And what does he do to repay me?

He makes you my coat successor instead
of just letting me carry the torch. I

hope he rots.

Former Hashiro or not, I would never set
a tea over some senile geezer.

Gramps knew exactly what he was doing.

We were made co -successors because
we're weak.

I was only able to use the first form.
Well, you could use everything but first

form.

I can't help but feel sorry for Gramps
that he has two useless successors.

Two of us but together.

I'm nothing like you!

Under breathing.

Fourth form.

This is thunder!

You're so slow, scum.

What the hell? He got me.

His speed is unreal.

He never moved like that.

He's changed.

But he's not the only one.

There's no shame in kneeling down before
the powerful if it means surviving.

As long as you're alive, you can still
win.

Only once you die have you lost.

Even if you have to beg on your hands
and knees.

Even if you're without a home and have
to drink from a puddle.

Even if they condemn you for stealing
money.

As long as you're alive, there's still a
future where you can win.

Believing that is all that's kept me
going.

Forfeit your humanity, and limitless
power will be within reach.

Should my lord choose to acknowledge
you, demon blood shall course through

veins.

The stronger the swordsman, The longer
it takes for him to become a demon.

It took me three days to fully
transform.

Turning a breathing technique user into
a demon is no small feat.

Doing such a thing will require an
exorbitant amount of my lord's blood.

And though it is rare, some people for
whatever reason are physically incapable

of becoming demons.

I'm curious to see how you will fare.

You must appreciate this blood.

Even holding it as you are now is an
honor you cannot fathom.

Should you spill a single drop, I'll
have you dismembered in an instant,

it touches the ground.

Even now, I remember the terror I felt,
like every cell in my body went

screaming in anguish.

Compared to what I felt then, this is
nothing.

He's just a punk.

He might be stronger, but he's not on
par with an upper rank.

Zenitsu Agatsuma is and always will be
trash.

He's a despicable crybaby without a
shred of dignity or valor.

Somebody help!

I fell in a pitfall and twisted my
ankle!

The disrespect.

As if I'd be co -successor with that
sniveling loser!

Here you are, Kaigaku.

Hey, Gramps?

It looks a little big on me, don't you
think?

I'm supposed to be that idiot equal?

That's gotta be some kind of sick joke!

You bastards deserve to die!

And if you miss him so dearly, then I'll
- I was only

ever able to learn the first form.

However, you were able to learn
everything but the first form.

Gramps knew that.

His solution was having us both succeed
the Thunder Breathing Technique.

But you denied him that.

You became a demon purely to reject him.

It's coming.

Thunder breathing.

Second form.

Right spirit.

He attacks five times in one breath.

How many people have you devoured? You
can't even tell right from wrong

I'm more aware of those than I've ever
been.

What's the matter?

Aren't you supposed to be the old
geezer's favorite?

If you are, then show me what he passed
down to you!

It's the only technique you've got, so
use it!

Go all out. Use everything you've got.

And don't you dare hold back for a
second!

Thunder breathing.

First form.

Thunderclap and Flash!

As if a basic attack like charging me
head -on would ever find its mark!

Don't make me laugh!

Thunder Breathing!

Third Form!

Thunderclap!

He's attacking me from every angle at
once!

What's the matter? Don't tell me you're
done already!

Thunder breathing, first form! Thunder
clap and blast!

Eight holes!

That's not gonna work!

Thunder breathing!

Fit bomb!

Eight lightning!

Gotcha!

How does the fight of my blood demon art
enhance sword feel?

Each strike on contact leaves a wound
that burns your skin.

This proves those who recognize my
talents and value are right.

And those that dismiss or condemn me are
wrong.

Do you get it now?

This is the power I have.

My power as a demon, that is.

All you know how to do is use first
form.

Yet that geezer chose to make you his
successor.

And boy, what a mistake that was!

So that's it. This is the path that
you've chosen to take.

I knew.

I knew, but...

With this strike,

I'll end it.

You're finished!

Thunder breathing.

Take form.

Rumble and flash!

That strike I landed will keep crackling
through your flesh.

This is the power that I gained by
becoming a demon.

Get it now?

I've launched a past thunder breathing!

You and I aren't equals, and we never
have been.

I'm better than all of you.

Guess the old bastard shouldn't have put
his trust in you after all.

Come on, be more like Kaigaku.

He's your senior, so follow his example,
you hear?

Hang on, isn't the first form pretty
much the entire basis of Thunder

Yeah, and it's the only one he can't do.
You know what that means, don't you?

That even though he's mastered other
forms, he's still a weakling?

Yep, exactly.

The way he shows off, though, he's got
such an ego.

No way he becomes a Hashira.

Yeah, he'll die before then.

What did I do to deserve that?

I heard you went and punched someone
from a higher rank.

Don't go around making trouble, you
trash.

It's embarrassing even being seen in the
same room as you.

I was fully aware that you hated me,
Kaigaku.

And to be perfectly honest, I hated you
too.

Even so, I couldn't help but respect you
as well.

You never stopped working towards your
goals.

Despite our differences, I looked up to
you as an example.

You really were a special guy.

It wasn't just me.

Gramps thought you were remarkable, too.

But I guess you weren't satisfied with
that, were you?

No matter the day, the only sound that
came from you was discontent.

It was like the box where you kept your
joy had a hole in it.

And that joy kept leaking out.

If the hole isn't mended, happiness will
always be out of reach.

Gramps, I'm sorry we're fighting.

But he and I must walk separate paths.

He's still holding on?

Brother! I'm sorry!

Thunder breathing.

Seventh form.

God of fire. Thunder.

That... was so fast.

That move.

What was it?

Unbelievable. How come I've never seen
that technique until now?

I always knew that stupid geezer liked
you more than me.

Why else would he only teach you that
technique?

You're wrong.

Gramps was never that kind of person.

This technique is something I made.

I created it all by myself.

My hope was that one day I'd be able to
use it to fight by your

side.

How is this even possible?

Thunder Breathing only has six
techniques, and yet he was able to

seventh?

Him, the one who can only use the first
form?

He's inferior to me in every way!

I can't accept it. I won't accept it!
This must be some kind of twisted joke!

Someone like me, losing to him?

I must be going insane.

Wait.

With his strength depleting, I can still
have the last laugh.

This foe will kill him and he can't stop
it.

I'll be taking him to hell with me.

Those who never give to others are never
able to receive in return.

People who have nothing but desire are
no different than those who have nothing

at all.

And one cannot create anything out of
nothing.

Dying alone is pathetic, wouldn't you
say?

I'm sorry.

I couldn't get along with Kaigaku.

I even tried writing him letters, but he
never wrote me back. If it weren't for

me, he might not have ended up the way
he did.

I'm really sorry.

Forgive me.

I wasn't able to pay you back for
everything.

I really wanted you to see me as a
Hashira to make you proud.

I'm sorry.

I failed you, Graham.

I understand if you hate me now.

Please just say something. Anything.

Damn it. What's this? Grabbing my leg.

Gramps! I just... I need... Damn it.

Zenitsu.

Listen to me, lad.

You are my pride and joy.

Well? Can you save him?

He's someone that I know.

I can't watch him die.

Please tell me there's a way!

Keep your voice down. You're not
helping. Just watch out for enemy

Least then you'll actually be doing
something useful.

Excuse me? And just who the hell are
you, huh? I better not find out you're

lower rank than I am!

I'm a demon. I don't care about your
hierarchy.

This'll slow the blood demon art.

But if these cracks keep spreading,
it'll travel all the way to his eyes.

Hey, can you hear me?

Your bedside manner really sucks, you
know that?

I'm also using a hemostatic, but I still
can't get the bleeding to stop. What

did I say?

Don't listen to him. You're gonna be
fine. I swear you'll pull through this.

Yeah, you can do it!

Fight on, fight on!

The only reason you're alive right now
is because the upper rank you fought

still hadn't mastered his own technique.

That was lucky for you.

If you'd fought him a year from now, you
would have died instantly.

Could you stop with the doom and gloom?
Consider his feelings!

Hey,

don't pretend like I'm the one in the
wrong here!

What are you pointing at?

You're screaming, let the demons know
we're here.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Hey, it was you, Shiro, right? Take care
of Agatsuma.

Charge!

Murata, please take care of them
quickly, okay?

I'm gonna give you such an earful later!

Water breathing.

Second form.

Water...

This is bad.

They're gonna run into him.

We haven't encountered any upper ranks.

Are we still that far from Muthon?

I hope the others are alright.

Miss Shinobu.

We're going to win this battle.

For you.

For everyone.

That jolt. What was that?

Mr. Giyu!

Stay there.

Keep calm.

Is someone out fighting?

Are we about to lose another comrade?

No. It's something else.

And it's coming this way.

Please, Ben.

Above us! Get back, Tanjiro!

Long time no see.

It's commendable you got this far.

Especially for a puny insect.

Don't you agree, Tanjiro?

Akaza!

If I had to guess, this fleshy cocoon is
breaking down and disposing the drug

that's rescinding his demon form.

Muzan Kibutsuji, I had sworn to destroy
you by any means necessary.

Yet at this moment, I am powerless to do
so.

Soon enough...

I'll be absorbed as well.

Please, someone, anyone, come quickly.

I beg you.

According to father, Muzan should die.
The other demons will also perish.

By that logic, it's clear that Muzan is
still alive.

At this very moment, Miss Tamayo must be
suppressing his powers.

If she weren't, he would surely be aware
of Yushiro's watchful gaze.

Before Muzan's powers are fully
restored, we must do whatever it takes

that he's defeated.

I have to wonder, though, inside of
this... infinite castle...

Will we really be able to find him and
put an end to it all?

No need to be nervous.

You're doing a fine job, my child.

Muzan will surely reveal himself once
more.

Just as he did when he found me.

When it comes to this man, that's simply
his nature.

I understand, Father.

I will see to it our plan succeeds.

We must find him before the core
members' strength is fully depleted, and

this once and for all.

Protect them!

Everybody group up! We have to form a
wall!

Get their attention off the Hazira!

Please, sir! Go on ahead without us!

You as well! We got this!

Are you certain?

We are!

Just defeat Kibutsuji!

Please, sir!

Very well, then.

I will put my faith in your efforts
here.

Tokido!

Everyone, thank you.

I know Father would be proud to see you
giving it your all.

Stop that.

You must keep your hands moving.

Right now, we need to focus.

Master Kiria, he's quite impressive.

It's clear he's still in mourning over
the loss of the Master, yet his duty is

unwavering.

He's led the Demon Slayer Corps rather
splendidly.

Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Rengoku?

I would indeed.

These children are still young in years,
but their resolve is anything but

childish.

I swear to protect them.

Just as Kyojuro did before me.

I will risk my own life to do so.

I didn't think she would suffer this

much.

The master was working with a demon
named Tamayo.

who delivered this antidote.

I've administered it as she instructed.

Even so, will Nezuko be able to turn
back into a human, I wonder?

If Nezuko does become human again,
Muzan's grand scheme will collapse.

His thousand -year quest for a vessel
which can resist the sun will be no

And all of the progress he's made...

will be wound back like a clock.

In the many years that we've had to
endure this nightmare, Nezuko is the

demon who has been able to live in the
sunlight.

The final battle.

These words echo in my mind.

And each time they do, I can't help but
tremble as my heart beats louder.

This battle may finally reach its
conclusion tonight.

I never dreamed that I'd be alive to
witness it myself.

Tanjiro.

I sometimes think back to the day when
you brought your demon sister to me.

Ever since then, it feels like a giant
wheel of fate has been slowly turning.

Perhaps it would be best to compare the
sum of our battles to a giant dormant

machine. You and Nezuko are the small
cogs that have joined together and

it from its slumber.

What was once frozen in place has now
been set into motion.

Don't give up, Nezuko.

Keep up the fight, Tanjiro.

You both have to pull through no matter
what!

Hinokami Kagura!

Fire wheel!

Go through!

If I can't even sever his arm, I'll
never sever his head!

I got one!

I was able to dodge his attack, too. I
can do this!

I couldn't aim for his head, but this
time for sure!

Inokami Kagura!

Fake Rainbow!

Tanjiro, you've really sharpened your
skills, haven't you?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say
he's at the level of a Hashira now.

To think that he'd do this well against
Upper Three.

That day, I remember a boy who felt
completely helpless as he collapsed onto

cold snow.

begging through tears for a sister's
life.

But you are helpless no longer.

You have the strength to fight not only
for your life, but also for what's

precious to you.

This boy is not weak.

Don't insult him.

I must admit that Chiyojiro was right
when he said that.

You are certainly not weak.

In fact, I commend you.

Now, let's kick

things off, shall we?

It's time we had some fun.

Water breathing.

Third form.

Flowing dance.

You're a water Hashira. How lucky for
me.

It's been 50 years since I bought one.

Destruction. Death.

Disorder.

Water breathing.

Eleventh form.

Dead calm.

I've never seen that move before.

Perhaps the last water Hashira I killed
never had a chance to use it.

Shinokami Kagura!

Raging Sun!

He bent it!

Behind me!

Fake break, Kagura!

Water breathing.

Second form.

Water wheel!

Shimokami Kagura!

Bling dance!

Destructive death! Leg pipe!

Crown splitter!

I blocked it with my sword!

This moon barely graced me, and it still
did this kind of damage?

How marvelous!

That elegant sword skill you're using is
magnificent!

I must know now.

What is your name? I want to remember
you!

I don't have a name to give to a demon
like you. I hate talking, so don't speak

to me!

Is that so?

You're not much for small talk, are you?

Well, I happen to quite enjoy it. So
I'll ask you again.

What is your name?

Destructive death.

Leg type.

Explosive fury.

That's his name. Thank you for letting
me know.

Hinokami Kagura!

Destructive Death!

Eight -Layer Demon Core!

Burning Bone Silver Sun!

Excellent form.

To improve this much in such a short
time is impressive.

I'll give you my praise.

It seems obvious to me that Choujiro
must have really inspired you.

The night we met, you were merely a
weak, mournful child crumpled on the

Not even worthy of being killed.

But just look at you now!

This leap in your abilities, it's like
you've been reborn!

My heart won't stop racing.

I'm truly overjoyed.

The night Kyojuro died, I was glad that
it happened.

How tragic would it have been if he had
never gotten any stronger?

Such a stubborn man, not letting go of
those worthless values of staying human.

Shut up!

Don't you dare even speak his name!

What's the matter?

I'm only paying the man a compliment.

I'm being sincere.

These are high words of praise.

You're wrong.

All you're doing is insulting him.

You're just spitting on his memory.

On all of us!

You couldn't be more wrong, Tanjiro.

As you'll recall.

The only thing I despise is weak human
beings.

Only a feeble weakling is deserving of
my scorn and no one else.

That's right.

The mere sight of them makes my skin
crawl.

They make me wretch!

Through the laws of nature, they are
weeded out from this world just as they

should be.

Everything you just said is wrong!

The fact you're even alive right now,
isn't that proof enough?

As an infant, we're all helpless.

We can't live without someone else's
help.

You're no different, Akaza.

Even if you don't remember, there was a
time when you were protected and cared

for by someone.

I know it.

That's why you're alive.

Strong should aid and protect the weak.

And in turn, the weak become strong and
aid and protect those weaker than

themselves.

That is the law of nature.

Akaza, I can't tolerate your way of
thinking.

Sheeran out. I won't let you do as you
please.

I get it now.

I have a disgust for this boy that's
almost primal in nature.

Even if he's stronger, that feeling
hasn't faded.

No matter who they are, everyone begins
life as a newborn.

We learn by getting help from those
around us.

We are not competing with others.

The only opponent you have in life is
yourself.

Just focus on becoming stronger than you
were yesterday.

If you can stay this path for a decade
or even two, that would be commendable.

And before you know it, you will be
helping others in turn.

What was that? He just swung his fist at
nothing!

Tanjiro, you still repulse me to my
core.

Destructive death crushing type!

Ten thousand leaves flashing willow!

The speed!

It's blinding! No, it's not just the
speed.

It's its precision. It is aura. And
also... Speed!

Destructive death leg type!

Hello?

Flying planet thousand wheels!

Even if I could anticipate his strikes,
they're so powerful I can't completely

deflect them.

His techniques are so precise, they can
pierce through any opening no matter how

small.

It's like a magnet is attracting his
attack straight toward my weak points.

But how?

What's happening?

What could be causing this behavior?

I don't think... What's the answer?

There must be a clue in what Akaza said
or done.

Pinocami Kagura!

Solar heat haze!

What an interesting move.

I dodged it at first, but then the blade
seemed to extend.

I don't know what kind of swing you put
behind it, but the tip of your blade

wavered like it was in a heat haze. How
fascinating!

Hinokami Kagura!

Damn!

My sword!

He'll break it!

That was a strong headbutt!

Damn to let go of me!

No good!

I can't get him to loosen his grip!

You're starting to get on my nerves.

Thanks to you, my back is killing me
now.

I'm not fond of being hurled like a
ragdoll.

I'm gonna make you pay.

Personally, I'd rather not draw my sword
if I can help it.

And I have a hard time justifying using
deadly force if unnecessary.

But at this moment, I'm against an
opponent that demands everything from

In the short time we've fought, my
senses have been pushed past their

My dormant senses have been rudely
awakened and are dragging me forward,

the enemy.

I now know how much it expands one's
potential to have one's back against the

wall with their sword raised in the face
of...

Mark appeared and his movements have
gotten... FASTER!

Water breathing force form!

Striking hot!

They're both so fast!

Mr. Gu's speed increased with the mark,
but Akaza adapted to it instantly!

Don't tell me that's all you're capable
of!

Show me more!

Don't you dare hold back!

OKAY!

Destructive death!

Disorder!

Mr. Gil!

I'll get them.

Calm down!

Think. Don't panic. Whatever you do,
don't lose focus.

Why is it that Akaza's attacks are
always so accurate?

How is he able to respond to attacks
from his blind spots?

Think!

Your fighting spirit has been tempered
like quality steel.

Your name?

Back when he fought Mr. Rengoku, I
remember Akaza using the words fighting

spirit.

What did he mean by that?

Is he able to sense things through
fighting spirit?

The same way I can sense things through
scent?

Wherever the enemy's aiming at, I get
this weird tingling feeling.

So that's how you knew Gyotaro was
attacking you from behind.

You sure are incredible, Inosuke.

Yeah.

Well, my skin is tougher than most
people's.

And whether it's from behind or not, if
someone's looking at me, I know just

where they're looking.

Could you show me?

Sure did.

It's my right shoulder. You really got
it. That's amazing.

It's even easier to know if someone's
looking at me if they have killing

Since anyone who could harm me is bad
news, killing intent kind of feels like

it's stabbing me through the skin, you
know?

That's right.

Inosuke was able to sense the invisible,
using only his own sense of touch.

Think back.

What else did we talk about?

Where things get real tricky is when
someone who doesn't have killing intent

hostility is looking at me.

Like that tiny hag!

Huh?

That old hag from the house with the
wisteria mark was sneaky.

Before I knew it.

She'd be sitting right behind me holding
rice balls!

Calling her a hag isn't nice. She's
elderly. Elderly hag!

Stop that!

Well, that got me thinking.

If I could hide my killing intent, then
I'd be a ninja.

I'd be able to sneak up on anybody.

Sure, but Inosuke, she was only sneaky
because she didn't have the intent of

harming you.

And I think beheading a demon without
killing intent would be impossible.

Hmm.

Yeah, you're probably right.

A half -hearted strike without any
killing intent would never be strong

to cut to a demon's neck.

It was a casual conversation, but I
think Inosuke was onto something.

What is it that Akaza supposedly senses?

What does he mean by fighting spirit?

Is it killing intent?

Is it the will to fight? The time spent
training?

Or maybe the amount?

Is it like the way I can anticipate
movements through scent?

There must be something I can do to
disrupt his compass.

Hinokami Kagura, dance!

Just one problem with your attack.

You're wide open!

It's big!

spirit, instinct, compass, perception,
striking with killing intent,

sensing the invisible, executing the
impossible.

I see.

So that's it.

Um, Father, what do you think about when
you dance the Hinokami Kagura?

If it's too tiring for you, I can take
your place next year.

I don't want you to overwork yourself.

Thank you, Tanjiro.

But to be honest, I haven't found the
Kagura to be the least bit tiring over

last few years.

I can't quite explain it, but back when
I learned it from your grandfather years

ago... Even though I was younger,
healthier, and stronger than now, I

to be far more tiring back then.

For generations, the Kagura was
performed by the Kamado family at the

each year.

It was an exhausting performance that
would last from sunset till dawn.

There are twelve different forms that
must be repeated over and over again.

Thousands of times before daybreak.

I think my exhaustion was the result of
unnecessary movement.

Using the correct movements and
breathing patterns are vital to the

It's what allows you to produce maximum
strength while using minimal actions.

Once you've mastered your breathing and
movement, your mind will become

transparent.

Transparent?

But before any of that, you must
memorize the moves of the dance and

ingrain them into your muscle memory.

In doing so, you'll open up your five
senses and become aware of the shape of

your own body, vessel by vessel.

That was the truly strenuous part.

All you can think is that even if you go
on struggling, you'll never succeed.

After you've learned all these things
and committed them to memory,

Closing?

As if it were second nature, the same
way you blink without a second thought.

When that happens, a path illuminated by
a bright light will open.

If your mind is as clear as possible,
you'll begin to see the transparent

before you.

But this domain can only be reached by
pushing yourself past your limits,

despite the suffering that may be
required.

Will I ever get to see it?

If you work tirelessly, then that's for
you to decide.

There. All done.

Thank you.

Ten days before my father died, an
incident where a bear began attacking

happened on a neighboring mountain.

We lit bonfires around the house and set
up multiple ropes lined with bells.

Tanjiro.

Yes, father?

Come with me.

understand you must be very hungry, but
I'm afraid I can't allow you to come any

closer.

If anyone were to try and cause harm to
my family, I would be forced to show you

no mercy.

If you disregard this warning, I'll have
no choice

but to take your life.

The bear's head that was as thick as a
human torso dropped to the ground with

the sound of the bells.

My eyes couldn't follow it, but if I'm
not mistaken, my father slashed it twice

in the blink of an eye.

He must have. His axe wouldn't have been
able to cut through otherwise.

All the while, my father's scent never
wavered.

Before and after beheading the bear, He
emitted no fear, no killing intent.

I hope that you were watching.

A day might come where you have to do
the same.

My father wasn't the type of person to
flaunt his strength.

I realized later on, that night...

He wanted me to see it in action.

The movements necessary to be able to
see the transparent world he spoke of.

I'm sure my father, grandfather, and
great -grandfather all learned the same

way.

Whatever you do, never give up.

Always stay calm and focused.

Any wall you come up against can be
shattered.

If you just work ti -

I understand, Father.

In that moment, that's why I was able to
dodge Akaza's inescapable blow to my

side.

If I hadn't moved in time, I'm positive
that strike would have killed me.

When I was alternating moves with Mr.
Giyo, weaving my attacks in between each

of his, I was protected from being hit
by those lethal blows.

But in that instant, even Mr. Gu
couldn't make it in time.

However, for whatever reason, I knew
dodging was possible.

And for just a split second, I was able
to see it.

That world.

The transparent world.

Even his body started to look
transparent.

The same as when Hontengu was hiding
inside his own heart.

I don't know if I saw him or smelled
him.

Dodge. I used only the senses that would
let me do that.

Without thinking, my body moved faster
than ever before.

When I'm inside the transparent world my
father spoke of, My battle instincts

improve drastically.

I can see my opponent's lungs and the
blood moving throughout their body.

I can see my own muscles contracting
faster and clearer than before.

If I close off the fighting spirit that
Akaza must be detecting me with, I can

go for his neck.

See it?

See it?

It looks like you've thrown about every
last water form at me.

Enough is enough, wouldn't you say?

I'm putting an end to this. But you have
my respect for lasting so long!

What?

In the middle of my downswing?

He hit it from the side and snapped my
throat.

Goodbye, Gio.

He stopped the attack by cutting off his
fist.

His breathing is different.

And his appearance... I've been saved by
Tanjiro.

All of the cells in my body, down to the
ones in my hair, are screaming at me to

kill him as soon as possible.

I don't know what kind of change he
underwent, but... He's dangerous.

His focus is on Tanjiro.

Now's my chance.

Technique development, final form.

Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow.

His attack speed boosted again, and the
force has increased.

My only chance now is with Dead Calm.

This must be what Father was talking
about.

This is it.

The transparent world.

Strange. It feels like time is passing
by so slowly.

Or maybe their movements just look lower
now.

A hundred strikes at once is
unavoidable.

Even with dead calm, I still wasn't able
to block all of them.

Stand proud, Giyu.

Most wouldn't have been able to survive
that.

You must have evaded my fatal blows.

There's no need for you to die like
Kyojiro and Tanjiro did.

Give up your pride and become a demon,
Giyu.

Tanjiro's behind him, and he hasn't
noticed.

Is he masking his presence?

Now's our chance.

Tanjiro, do it. If you have the
strength, behead him.

Before he notices you, go for it!

Akaza! Prepare to be decapitated!

He willingly

gave himself away!

He's still alive?

I never would have thought someone like
him could survive an attack like that.

Well, it doesn't matter.

After all, my destructive death compass
needle can detect any attack.

The stronger my opponent's fighting
spirit is, the greater my compass

reaction.

What is this?

What is this odd presence he's emitting?
It feels like he's turned himself into

some other creature.

It's like... His fighting spirit is
gone.

But how?

I have to calm down. Focus!

Hinokami Kagura. Setting sun
transformation.

This can't be possible!

In the last several hundred years, I've
never once seen a human without

any fighting spirit.

Even newborn children had traces of it.

And yet, in that instant, his fighting
spirit vanished as if it were never

to begin with.

I was facing an anomaly that shouldn't
even exist.

So my senses were thrown into confusion.

My compass needle detected nothing.

But that's not the biggest issue at hand
here.

When on the battlefield, there's no
killing what could come your way.

It's vital that you're able to deal with
the unexpected at a moment's notice.

And I'm able to do that.

Or at least, I thought so.

During that short battle, he was able to
grasp something and use it to surpass

my speed.

Whatever it was he learned was able to
shatter centuries worth of martial arts

techniques with a single head -on
attack.

Within those eyes of his, there was no
hatred, no rage, no killing intent or

fighting spirit.

He must have somehow seen what I've been
looking for, the domain that lies

within, the realm of the highest.

None other than their selfless state.

For some time now, I've had a vague
sense that this state of mind existed.

And yet, even after all these centuries,
I've yet to attain it.

Not yet.

I can still fight.

will continue to become stronger.

It's bad.

He's reattaching his head.

I can't die here.

Not like this.

to become stronger.

Stronger than anyone else in the whole
world!

Stronger!

I have to find a way to become stronger.

That's it.

It's over.

So lightheaded.

My muscles are cramping up. My body's
reached its limit.

Tanjiro, are you alright?

His body hasn't disintegrated yet.

Does... Does this mean... Tanjiro!

moving. His body is still intact.

The severed part is closing up.

I can't see straight.

No.

No way.

Flashing his neck didn't kill him.

Is there some kind of condition like
with Gyutaro and Daki?

That can't be it.

His head disintegrated, yet he hasn't
given up!

It's like he's trying to evolve!

If we don't do something, his head will
stop being his weak point like Muzan!

This battle isn't over yet!

I have to... I... Tanjiro!

He's fainted.

Of course he has.

He's long since passed his limit.

Water breathing.

Flood form.

Striking tide.

Ridiculous. If Austin's head can still
regenerate that quickly...

I

can't hear out of my left ear.

And my right hand has gone numb.

I can still grip my sword, but who knows
for how long.

Wait!

I... I'm here.

I'm still alive!

If you want to kill Tanjiro, you'll have
to defeat me first!

An indomitable spirit.

It will never bend no matter what crisis
it finds itself in.

We don't fight the way samurai do. We
don't carry weapons.

Though we carry our convictions like
swords.

Though we carry our convictions like
swords.

Our battles are waged with our fists.

You are such an eyesore.

Let go of my hand.

Just who are you?

Stop. You don't have to keep going.

Let's leave this place together.

I can't.

I've still got unfinished business with
those two.

What do you mean by that?

I've got to become stronger. I've got
to.

I'll kill anyone who gets in my way.

Unless I'm strong enough, I won't be
able to bring any more back home to him.

He needs medicine.

I must become stronger.

If I don't, I won't be able to get away
with the money I stole.

If I happen to be caught, I won't be
able to defend myself.

If I'm not strong enough...

The magistrate will catch me and have me
beaten and lashed.

We've already given you three tattoos on
each arm for stealing.

Next time, we'll chop off your hand.

Bow your head and repent!

If you're gonna chop it off, then do it!
Go ahead and take both of them if

you're really serious.

I'll just use my feet to steal.

You're not going to catch me again, so
make it count.

To hear this from someone at such a
young age.

This boy of 11 has already taken on
punishments that would make a grown man

faint.

You are a demon child.

Go and call me whatever names you want.

Demon child suits me just damn fine.

They say I already had teeth when I was
born, so I guess I am. Be quiet, dirty

little punk.

Don't you mean demon child, you bastard!

Hakuji!

There you are!

When you were caught for stealing again,
word about it made its way back to your

father.

He hung himself, Hakuji!

Huh?

Dear Hakuji, live an honest life.

You can still start over.

What kind of world is this?

Are the poor not even allowed to live?

To hell with this rotten world.

To all of it.

Every rotten human.

They can all burn in hell.

Why do scumbags like them get the
privilege of living when my father had

in such a horrible way?

It was never a burden to me.

So why would he feel that way?

You didn't do anything wrong, Dad. You
didn't.

I never cared about getting beaten after
I was caught stealing.

Even if they beat me until every bone in
my body was broken, I could take it all

for you, Dad. For centuries, even. Learn
your lesson.

Live an honest life.

Why don't you shut the hell up, you
scumbag?

Medicine's expensive.

The hell did you expect me to do about
that?

My dad's only getting thinner and
thinner by the day.

He's so malnourished you can see his
bones.

I just want him to have something better
to eat.

I would have happily given my life if it
meant saving his.

I have done anything.

For my father!

Well, well.

I am quite impressed.

I was called over because someone said
that a child was about to be killed. But

you've laid out seven grown -ups with
your bare fists.

You've got some talent, don't you?

Not just anyone can take on that many
guys and still win.

That's the kind of skunk I like to see.

What's going on here?

Who is this man?

Could these be my memories?

How about you join my dojo? I don't have
any students at the moment.

Stay out of my way, you old fart!

You looking to die?

Those tattoos.

You're a criminal from Edo.

I'm guessing after being thrown out, you
eventually found your way here.

I never asked for your opinion.

Now shut up and get the hell out of my
way!

All right, time to be reborn.

You ready?

That's it.

Get him, man!

I'll give it to you. You're tough.

After that beating I gave you, you came
to in less than an hour.

The name's Keizo.

I teach the Soryu style of fighting,
which uses only your bare hands.

Like I said, I don't have any other
students.

So I get by by doing whatever odd jobs I
can for people.

I have a daughter who's in rather poor
health.

I'd like you to help look after her.

I'd be here if I could, but I have to
work.

My wife was pushed to the edge of
exhaustion and drowned herself.

Life sure takes a bite out of you,
doesn't it?

If I were a more capable man, my wife
and daughter wouldn't have suffered like

this.

You said you knew I was a criminal.

Are you really alright leaving your
daughter around me?

Why wouldn't I be? I pummeled the
criminal out of you earlier, didn't I?

It's fine.

They are alike.

I get it now.

The reason you disgusted me earlier...
It was because you wouldn't dredge up

memories of my worthless past.

This is my daughter, Koyuki.

My worthless path.

Worthless.

Hakuchi, I'm so sorry.

How are you feeling?

You okay being up?

Looks like you've got more color in your
cheeks this morning.

That's good.

Oh, yeah. This boy.

His name is... Well, I've asked him
countless times and he won't say.

Go on. Get inside.

Have a seat.

I'll want to know his name when I get
back, okay?

Um... Your... Your face... Your heart...

Are you alright?

I'll make you better.

I'll save you.

Protect you.

In that past life, all I did was spew a
bunch of lies.

You don't have to thank me every time,
you know.

Just focus on resting.

I'm sorry for causing you trouble like
this.

It's fine, really.

Koyuki, want this closed?

You can leave it open.

Koyuki was very delicate and frail.

I would change out her towels and
nightgown and give her water, even

the night.

And whenever she needed to use the
lavatory, obviously she was too weak to

able to go without needing assistance.

I was used to taking care of the sick
because of my dad, and since I had an

almost inhuman physical endurance, it
really wasn't a big deal for me.

Why do people who are suffering from
illness always feel the need to say

sorry?

Sorry to make you do things for me.

Sorry if my coughing's bothering you.

Sorry I can't put food on the table like
I should.

They didn't choose to have to live this
way.

Of course they want to breathe normally.

They can't help it if they start
coughing.

Out of everyone, they're the ones
suffering the most.

Sorry again to make you do this.

Because of my sickness, you're not able
to do your training or even go out and

have fun.

I don't care about having fun.

I never have.

As far as training goes, I squeeze it in
whenever I can, so it's fine.

You sure?

Even you need to take a little break.

I hear there are fireworks happening
tonight.

You should go see them.

Fireworks, huh?

If you don't feel nauseous at night, I
could carry you on my back and go see

them on the bridge.

If you're not feeling up to it, they'll
do fireworks again next year and after

that, so we can just go when you're
better.

There was one thing that was hard about
taking care of her, and that was

whenever she would suddenly break out
into tears in the middle of our

conversations.

I can imagine how she felt, bedridden
and sick as she was.

But it still made me uncomfortable.

Ah, now I understand.

The symbol used for Hakuji.

It's the same as Kumayonu.

That makes sense.

You and I really are the same after all.

We only thrive when we have something to
protect.

Just like the Kamayanu, who protect the
entrance to the shrines.

There was a story as to how my master
owned this land, even though he wasn't a

samurai or anything like that.

He had rescued an elderly man from a
group of bandits.

The old man, who had no living heirs,
was so impressed by his Soryu

that he left him not only his land, but
the dojo that lay upon it.

However, there were those with envious
eyes who wished to have the land and

all to themselves.

The Kenjutsu dojo next door started
harassing the Soryu dojo.

Because of that, the Soryu dojo had a
hard time keeping any students.

But now, thanks to my training here and
caring for Koyuki, my heart has

finally found salvation.

Three short years went by, and I turned
18.

Koyuki was 16.

She was almost never bedridden anymore,
and was now able to live a normal life.

Hakujin, come here.

Yes, sir.

This dojo, would you be willing to take
it over for me, Hakujin?

Koyuki's told me that she's quite fond
of you as well.

Huh?

As someone branded with the tattoos of a
criminal, picturing any kind of future

for myself was hard enough.

But a future in which someone could like
a person like me?

I couldn't have even dreamed it.

My dad asked me to lead an honest life,
something I never thought was possible.

But perhaps it really is.

The faint hope of being able to start
over began to swell within me, until it

felt like it was about to burst.

But I could never have predicted in that
moment.

But the two people I wanted to protect
more than anything else in this life

would end up meeting the fate they did.

I had made a trip to Edo to visit my
dad's grave.

I wanted to let him know that I was
getting married.

I returned before even a full day and
night had passed.

Yet a sense of dread came over me.

My chest started to feel tight, and a
terrible feeling of nausea overtook me.

Someone put poison in the well!

The other school was so angry they
couldn't be you or Mr. K, though! They

and did this out of spite!

It's atrocious!

They even killed Koyuki!

Why? Why is it whenever the ones I care
about are in mortal peril, I'm never

there for them?

I had even gone and made a promise to
her.

Are you sure that I'm the one for you?

When we were children, do you remember
when you talked to me about seeing the

fireworks?

Huh? Uh, no, not really.

Because of those little talks we used to
have, there were a lot of things which

I took with me that gave me hope for the
future.

You said even if we couldn't see the
fireworks that year...

We could go to the one happening next
year, or the year after that.

The truth is, I could never imagine a
future where I'd still be alive a year

later. And certainly not any longer than
that.

My mother couldn't either.

I think that's why she ended up taking
her own life.

Because she didn't want to see me die.

Not just her.

I could tell my father had given up hope
too.

Deep down inside.

Because I was just so weak.

But you never treated me that way.

You were able to see a future for me.

You talked to me about doing things.

As if... As if it were obvious that I'd
still be here.

That made me so very happy.

I am sure you're the one for me.

Would you?

Would you be my husband?

Yes.

I promise to become stronger than
anyone.

And protect you for the rest of my life.

In the end...

I was all talk.

I wasn't able to fulfill any of my
promises.

What

do

you want?

You've got some nerve.

Wait. You're from the Soyuz!

The family of the Soryu Dojo were
recently poisoned, and we believe that a

student of theirs retaliated against the
Kenjutsu Dojo.

Sixty -seven people were murdered
inside.

He shattered their skulls and crushed
their organs, all barehanded.

Not only were most of the bodies mangled
and mutilated beyond recognition, most

had limbs missing that we couldn't even
locate.

organs, limbs, brain matter, even jaws
and eyeballs were found strewn across

walls and the ceiling of the premises.

This killer was no ordinary human.

I heard there was some commotion about a
demon sighting here, even though I know

I never sent one.

So I decided to come see for myself.

Yet all I find is a human.

How utterly disappointing.

Move.

It just so happens I was contemplating
creating twelve powerful demons.

I wonder if you'll be able to withstand
the amount of blood I'm about to give

you.

You... do... whatever you want.

None of it.

After becoming a demon, I lost my
memories and once again started to seek

power.

It's not enough!

It will never be enough!

Even though I had nothing left to my
name.

Even though I had nothing worth fighting
for anymore.

Even though my family was no longer
around, and I had no desire to live in a

world without them.

For over a century, I committed
senseless massacres over and over again.

Thinking about it now, it's pathetic.

It's absurd.

All those deaths were meaningless.

Even if I died now, I couldn't go where
the other three were waiting for me.

Damn you for dredging up these memories.

You bastard!

Pathetic humans, clinging on to life
with their fragile bodies.

Even their strongest.

eventually die and vanish into thin air.

Still not dead?

You can't be serious.

I have to kill him before it's too late.

If we let him regenerate, there'll be no
stopping him.

I must have packed out. What's going on?

His head's back, but how is that even
possible?

I decapitated him!

Destructive death!

Annihilation type!

Stop it!

Seriously? He can still move?

Mr. Giyu and I are going to win!

Akasa, I'll behead you as many times as
it takes!

My sword!

It slipped out of his hand.

I lost my grip!

All

right, young man.

Time to be reborn.

I despise those who are weak.

Instead of fighting you fair and square,
they always resort to cheap tricks.

They're atrocious.

They have no patience.

And they quickly grow desperate.

Just thinking about them makes me sick.

I killed people with my fists of
protection.

I desecrated my master's beloved Soryu
with blood.

And I couldn't follow my father's last
wishes.

The one I wanted to kill...

It couldn't be worse! I dropped my
sword!

My fists aren't enough to stop him!

He's about to unleash the annihilation
type move he used on Mr. Rengoku!

I've got to take Mr. G with me out of
the attack range!

Leave me!

Save yourself!

I've got to kill... that weakling.

I've come to hate!

He just attacked himself.

Why would he turn on himself like that?

Why?

For a second, I could pick up the scent
of gratitude from him.

Why did he smile at me?

That's enough!

Stop it!

I don't want to regenerate!

Don't you get it? The battle is over!

In that decisive moment, I lost.

That technique he beheaded me with was
nothing short of perfection.

He anticipated my movements and pivoted
at the last second, then struck me down

before I could unleash my attack.

It's over now.

Let me accept my fate.

Then go to hell.

Where's he trying to go?

He's up in his tracks.

Dad.

Are you feeling better now?

Are you in pain anymore?

No need to worry, son. I'm fine.

Thank you, Hakuji.

I'm sorry, father.

I'm sorry. I couldn't start over like
you wanted.

I failed you.

Do not despair.

Regardless of who you grow up to be,
you're still my son.

And still, my student, heaven may not
accept you.

But you needn't worry.

Our hearts will be with you.

Master.

Didn't you say you were seeking to
become stronger than anyone?

Don't tell me you intend to let it end
like this.

Akaza.

That's right.

If I die here, I have to get stronger.

So what if I got beheaded? Who cares if
I win or lose the fight?

If I kill those who stand in my way,
then there's still hope for me to get

stronger.

I made a promise.

I'm not about to break it!

Akaji, thank you so much.

You've done more than enough.

It's okay.

We're all right now.

I wasn't there when you needed me to be.

I couldn't keep a single promise I made.

I'm sorry.

Please try to forgive me, Koyuki.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so happy you remembered us. I can't
tell you how happy that makes me.

And to see you now as the man that I
once knew.

Welcome home, Hakuji.

Hey, Hakuji.

Welcome home.

I'm back now.

I'm finally back home.

and get to where Miss Clario is.

conscious due to exhaustion.

Tanjiro! Giyu!

Have defeated Upper Three!

Upper Three!

Akaza. His presence has vanished.

What a baffling conclusion.

Akaza, what happened to your burning
ambition to defeat me?

To think you'd abandoned everything you
stood for and turned

your back on the path to greatness.

Your weakness appalls me.

Good feeling.

Could Lord Akaza be dead?

Very strange. Surely my imagination must
be running wild, right?

It almost felt like Lord Akaza had
turned into some creature.

And now that he's dead, I guess it
doesn't matter.

Let's see.

Where was I?

Oh, I remember.

I just asked for your name, hadn't I?

Have defeated Upper Three!

Upper Three!

Did you hear that?

Yes.

Excellent work, Tomioka.

Excellent work, Kamado.

Mr. Tomioka! Mr. Tomioka! We did it!

Now it's our turn to follow their lead.

Hang in there. I got some more.

Stop flapping those wings, bastard, or
I'm going to keep poking.

You're going to use those wings to show
me where the strongest demon is.

You hear me?

I'm coming through.

Now we're talking.

I'm sensing a powerful demon over here.

Brother! Where are all the upper ranks?

Follow me!

Come on!

I'm gonna bury you all!

The passageway leading... North on the
88th level is clear.

No sign of Musan.

The 127th levels in the southeast are
clear. No sign of Musan.

He's in here. He has to be.

But where is he?

There's no sign of Musan on any of the
levels from 90 to 100 either.

Covering the entire 133rd level.

No sign of Musan.

Our crows will find you. You can only
hide from us for so long.

We'll search every inch of this Infinity
Castle.

Even if you try to run from us, we will
hunt you down.

northeast.

Attention! The castle's expanding in
every direction!

Folding over themselves!

And becoming one!

You can't be serious!

No.

It's fine. We've come too far to lose.

Crows! Push forward!

And find Muzan!

Try all you want, demon slayers!

But each one of you will meet your end
before ever reaching me!

You may be feeling smug after beheading
one of my upper rank, but unless you

kill me, your triumph is meaningless!

You're all going to die the most
pointless death.

All the while never seeing my face.

I can't think of a more fitting end for
the Demon Slayer Corps.

Mark my words. When I'm done here, I'm
going to make you regret the day you

born.

Just wait.

You're each going to squirm and writhe
in pain.

Draw your final breath.

Because for every one of you Demon
Slayers, there is no tomorrow!

Have you dine on that, Tanjiro?

You keep...
