Original subtitles

Most important of all is your body's core.

Your lower body.

If you stabilize yourself with a robust lower body,

it will lead to accurate attacks and unwavering defense.

You'll start off by cold plunging in the waterfall...

I'm going to die!

...after which you'll lift up these three logs.

DESTROY

Really big.

And finally, you'll push this boulder, transporting it one cho away.

ONE CHO = 358 FEET

My training consists of these three simple tasks.

As it would be dangerous to roast you with fire from below, I have scratched that one.

Excuse me!

Zenitsu has fainted!

Put him in the river.

EPISODE 6: THE STRONGEST OF THE DEMON SLAYER CORPS

It's freezing!

A river in wintertime! How can that not be beyond too cold?

I'm going to die! I'm about to puke!

- Zenitsu! - L-Land... L-Land...

Hey, my internal organs are going haywire!

They're screaming! They're crying out that they're dying!

N-Nooo!

I-It's no good! I'm out of the water, but it's too late! I'm going to freeze to death!

Huh?

Long time no see, you guys.

Cling to the... boulders.

It's nice and warm.

I-It's so warm!

I never knew that boulders were this warm!

It's like I'm being held in my mother's arms!

Momma!

Momma!

Ugh!

It's super cold!

This is really tough!

Waterfall training is harsh!

Comin' through... Comin' through...

Comin' through... Comin' through...

Our... Ami... and...

Comin' through... Comin' through... Comin' through...

It's not working!

Inosuke's giving it his all!

I should, too!

Huh?

I can't hear him chanting anymore.

Huh? Is it washable?

Ino... Hey, this is bad! Really bad!

It washes! Wake up, Inosuke!

Wake up! Inosuke, wake up!

Did you call me, Manjiro?

It washes!

Comin' through...

This waterfall...

It's not just any waterfall!

Whatever you do, don't stop chanting the nenbutsu!

Sure, it's good for focusing, but it's also a signal that you're conscious, okay?

Right!

Namu Amida Butsu...

Name Amida Butsu... Name Amida Butsu...

The water's cold...

and heavy!

No good! You can't fall silent!

Celebration, Celebration...

Celebrations, celebrations, celebrations...

Name Amida Butsu... Name Amida Butsu...

Freezing!

We're just standing under the waterfall, but it sure is harsh!

Who knew that water cascading down from so high could feel that heavy?

If you relax your body, you could break your neck!

No, no! Both you and that boar are amazing!

My first day, it took me until evening to get the hang of this waterfall training!

I just couldn't get used to the water!

Now that I'm able to stay under the waterfall for two hours,

I'm moving on to the log training!

Th-Th-That's great, Mr. Murata!

W-Well...

I've been here for ten days.

That guy's insane! The Old Guy with the Rattlin' Beads!

You mean Mr. Himejima, the Stone Hashira?

You shouldn't give him a weird nickname like that.

The moment I first met him, he gave me the chills!

Wait, you're eating it bones and all, Inosuke?

Yeah! Aren't you eating yours? They're really crunchy and tasty!

Wow! Of all the people I know, no one eats a fish cleaner than you, Inosuke!

Well, what can I say? I am the King of the Mountains after all!

You bet I do!

Huh?

Are you going to be okay? That's your tenth fish!

So, anyway, about the Old Guy with the Rattlin' Beads...

You mean Mr. Himejima, the Stone Hashira.

There's no doubt in my mind.

He's the strongest of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Hey, so he is, is he?

Huh?

Is that true?

Mr. Himejima's scent is totally different than anyone else's.

I wonder if his mark has already shown up.

I wouldn't be surprised if it has.

I just can't keep up with these conversations by guys who shoot up the ranks so fast.

Normally, you wouldn't have a clue! What they're talking about is so next-level!

Also, the fish that Tanjiro grilled are excellent!

I don't believe him.

I bet that old guy can't even move a boulder like that one cho himself!

He's just having a blast tormenting us young guys!

No. I hear that Mr. Himejima can push even bigger boulders than that one.

Do you believe whatever you hear just like that?

You're being deceived.

Uh, no.

Your hearing's great, Zenitsu.

So, I'm sure you can tell if he's lying or not, right?

Name Amida Butsu... Name Amida Butsu...

Oh, there he is right now!

Wow!

Mr. Himejima sure is strong!

You think I'll ever get to be like him?

In your dreams you will!

IN YOUR DREAMS

What are you, a moron? Hello, is anyone home in there?

Ow, ow, ow...

That old guy is abnormal, okay? Look at him, he's gigantic like a bear!

But...

Shut up! There's a gap between giants and little people from birth!

You get that, don't you?

Yeah, now that I'm full...

I'm gonna lift up some logs and shove a boulder!

Jeez, you're all so positive!

This is no place for me!

Now, now...

Let's go!

Now, now...

- Life, life, life... - Namu Amida Butsu... Namu Amida Butsu...

Name Amida Butsu... Name Amida Butsu...

Zenitsu!

Name Amida Butsu... Name Amida Butsu...

Hey! Zenitsu!

Name Amida Butsu... Name Amida Butsu...

- Whoa! - Whoa!

Training, completed!

Log lift, completed!

And now...

at last...

PHARMACY

DESTROY

FOUR

I have found one more.

So, I have located around 60 percent of those Demon Slayers.

However, I have yet to find the girl who's conquered the sun.

Nakime...

You've grown even more than I ever imagined.

How splendid.

Nakime...

You've grown even more than I ever imagined.

How splendid.

I am honored to hear that.

Let's see what's left.

Around here?

Understood.

We found another one.

Just keep following him.

Understood.

Both Nezuko and Ubayashiki...

It won't be long until I find them.

My legs keep slipping back!

I'm losing ground!

Ouch, ouch, ouch...

Should I go back and fix that?

Hey...

Good morning!

Hey Kamado...

We're heading back down the mountain. We just can't keep up with this.

Sorry. We feel guilty, bailing like this now.

But...

we'll be moving to a sustainment support role for you guys.

We're counting on you, Kamado.

Right.

I'm counting on you, too.

What, on us?

If you provide us with sustainment support, we can fight the demons without any worries!

All of us Demon Slayers standing together, let's go for Muzan Kibutsuji's head!

You got it! Leave the backup to us!

Roger that, Kamado!

We got this!

I have to...

do what I have to do!

Wow!

Tanjiro, you sure are good at making those!

You said it! They're totally triangular!

Since we've been running ourselves ragged, I added some extra salt.

Thank you all for waiting!

Here you go!

Wow!

Man, this is good!

Really hits the spot!

Yeah, so tasty!

I realized something during this training session.

Why hardly any of the current Hashira have Tsuguko.

Why don't they?

Yeah, I think I get it now, too.

It's too exhausting, so they must all run off.

Yeah.

Or maybe like what happened with that blond guy.

So devastated by the difference between himself and the Hashira, his soul's been crushed.

Since they've been doing this kind of thing like it's nothing...

Hashira really are incredible!

Yes, they are.

But seriously, you can cook rice like nobody else, huh?

Tasty!

Yeah! And you can grill fish like a boss!

Well, I'm the son of a charcoal burner!

SMUG!

Oh, no wonder!

Cooking is all about the right heat!

Roasted rice balls are good, too!

Way to go, Tanjiro!

Please eat as much as you want!

It tastes great! This miso-flavored one is awesome!

I'm starting to tear up.

I know! It tastes like your mom's cooking, right?

Right! Right!

Mom!

Mother!

Somehow...

this kind of brings back memories.

W-Water!

No good today, either!

It's been six days now! What am I going to do?

It's not like the demons will stay inactive forever.

There's no time to lose.

Is it just that I don't have enough muscular strength?

Or could there be another breathing technique?

Even after all this training, I still can't maintain my mark!

Hey you, is it me or did your mark get darker?

Hey! Genya! Are you all right?

I couldn't get a hold of you after what happened, so I was worried!

I was under confinement.

Mr. Himejima gave me an earful.

Because of what happened even though I was told to stay away from my big brother.

I see.

Sorry I dragged you into that.

Thanks for defending me.

Oh, hey, come on!

Anyway, about your mark...

Oh, does it look like it's darker?

Yeah.

No one ever mentioned that to me!

Well, if they're looking at it every day, they wouldn't be able to spot the difference.

Don't you have a mirror?

No.

I'll lend you mine later.

Did it really get darker?

Thank goodness!

That makes me happy!

The!

Hah! Why don't you?

So, you're doing the boulder training.

So am I, you know.

Yeah, but I can't get it to budge at all.

Were you able to move it, Genya?

Yeah, I can move it.

What?

Aren't you guys using repetitive motion?

Huh?

So, you're not, huh?

Well, not that Mr. Himejima is exactly good at teaching it.

You need to watch and learn and swipe it for yourself, all right?

To enhance your concentration to the max...

you perform a predetermined action.

In my case, I chant the nenbutsu.

That's what Mr. Himejima does, too!

That's right! You've seen him saying "Namu, Namu," right?

Our.

So long!

Don't ever come here again!

See you!

Thanks, Genya! I'll give it a try!

Don't overdo it, okay?

Well, not that he's the kind of guy who'd listen anyway.

One more time!

Repetitive motion.

Remember what Genya told you.

You open up all of your senses at once.

According to Mr. Himejima, even though I can't use breathing techniques,

I can still move that boulder if I use repetitive motion.

Well, not that I've made much headway yet.

When Mr. Himejima and Genya use this...

they revive their memories of being angry and in pain.

By doing that, they increase their heart rate and body temperature!

Dammit!

Still a long way to go, huh?

Hello!

Can you make dinner now?

After tasting what you made, we can't eat anything else.

Oh, it's dinnertime already?

I'll be right there!

Hey, Mom!

Mom!

Welcome back, Genya!

I'll help out, too.

Thanks!

So?

Were you able to use repetitive motion?

Hmm...

It seems like it's different than Total Concentration.

It's like working up your emotions, I guess.

Yeah.

But... this is just a thought.

Isn't the mark on your forehead a sign that you're in that same state?

Yeah, but neither Mr. Himejima...

and not even you, Genya, have a mark.

You're right about that.

- Hmm... - Hmm...

First...

Huh?

In your case, when is it that your emotions get really worked up?

That would be...

I don't know if it's something I said, but it looks like I reminded you about something sad.

My bad.

No.

I know that you can do it.

Thanks.

By using repetitive motion, you can increase your concentration to the max anytime!

My repetitive motion is...

to first picture the faces of my loved ones.

And also...

to recall Mr. Rengoku's words.

"Set your heart ablaze"!

When my mark shows up dark...

I hope I can learn to maintain this!

Hey, it's Gonpachiro!

That guy!

So, he's started training at this hour when the sun hasn't even come up yet?

He won't last the day.

I'm not going to let him beat me!

Though I couldn't do it at first...

I exerted all my strength through repetitive motion!

After repeating that over...

and over and over again...

my body started to master it!

From repetitive motion...

full strength!

I'll repeat this process!

For real?

You did it! Tanjiro, you did it!

Dammit! You beat me!

You're a monster!

What is that man scheming?

Now then...

what am I to do?

What do you look like...

Sisterhood?

PART 6

Today, we're going to talk about Mr. Himejima!

Ah...

Is something wrong, Mr. Himejima?

So innocent...

Huh?

All right, here's a Taisho-era secret!

Mr. Himejima is tearful like you wouldn't believe!

I hear that if there's trash strewn about, it's enough to make him cry!

Meow...

Huh?

Our.

This cat is so cute.

Our.

This cat is so cute.

And he's in tears again.

Next, Episode 7...

"Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima"!
